100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in - Chapter 72.2

Chapter 72.2: Exposed (2)
“M-Miss Ji.” The actor’s face had already turned pale by then. “Is it possible that I b-b-b-bumped into a…”

Before he could utter the word ‘ghost’, Ji Fanyin interjected, “It’s my twin sister. She can be malicious at times. She was probably just joking around with you.”

The actor breathed a sigh of relief before revealing yet another piece of information. “I saw her heading in that direction that day.”

Ji Fanyin looked at the direction he was pointing at. “Whose film sets are over there?”

The actor quickly named out a couple and, lo and behold, Cen Xiangyang’s name was amongst them. That affirmed Ji Fanyin’s earlier deduction.

It was likely that Cen Xiangyang had wanted to reveal the stand-in business to Ji Xinxin when the latter returned to the country during her break, but for whatever reason, he ended up stalling until Ji Xinxin returned to France.

Hm…

Ji Xinxin probably intended to visit Cen Xiangyang when this fellow thought she was me. Ji Xinxin likely realized it, but she chose to go along with him to gather some dirt on me. She probably figured out my identity then… and I guess she suffered a mental breakdown afterward?

Ji Fanyin casually waved her hand at the nervous actor to gesture that it was fine, and the latter was visibly relieved at her pardon. He took his leave and headed back into the resting room.

Ji Fanyin rested her back against a nearby pillar and began analyzing Cen Xiangyang and Ji Xinxin’s relationship.

Cen Xiangyang is a man filled with possessiveness. He wouldn’t hesitate to take action if he were to sense that he might lose Ji Xinxin for good. It’s not beneath him to resort to criminal acts like kidnapping.

Since I rejected his previous proposal, I reckon that he’s probably making other preparations in the shadows.

Ji Xinxin is unlikely to break ties with Cen Xiangyang at this point, considering how she has already lost Bai Zhou and Song Shiyu… Ah, did Cen Xiangyang establish his studio in hopes of suppressing my career for her sake?

If that’s what he’s thinking, he’s really overestimating his own capabilities.

Ji Fanyin took a sip of h milk tea.

Putting her aside, just He Shen and Zhang Ning were already beyond Cen Xiangyang’s means to deal with. Not to mention, her studio was now backed by a vicious female mogul who had no qualms throwing away millions at her whim.

There was no way Cen Xiangyang could compete with their studio in a direct confrontation.

As for underhanded tricks… I doubt that he’ll be able to pull anything meaningful.

Does he have some other goal then? Or is he just that confident in himself?

Ji Fanyin bit on her straw as she thought about her previous meetings with Cen Xiangyang.

The second time they met, he tried to brainwash her. The last time he messaged her, he tried to make use of her…

… Ah, I guess he is that confident in himself.
