Chapter 304: Chapter 304 : (Extra) Lang Yuxuan and Feng Jietang’s Side Story (5)

Lang Yuxuan was as surprised as Jin Zhuo to see Feng Jietang there. Standing some distance away from them, Feng Jietang’s shoulders were squared in an aggressive manner and his eyes were shining with unconcealed rage.

Jin Zhuo clicked with his tongue.

"What’s this, Lang Yuxuan?" He snapped. "Have you begun sleeping around to reach the top, following Shen Jingwei’s example???"

Badmouthing Shen Jingwei was the last thing one should do in front of Feng Jietang.

Like a bolt of lightning striking its victim, Feng Jietang’s fist flew in an arch and landed on Jin Zhuo’s face.

"Ahhhhhhh...!!!!"

Jin Zhuo, who had gone through numerous surgeries to save his face, screamed in absolute terror.

"My face! My face!"

Taking advantage of Jin Zhuo’s lapse of control due to distress, Feng Jietang reached out and pulled Lang Yuxuan to his side.

"Are you okay?"

Lang Yuxuan blinked at him dumbfoundedly.

"You... Why are you here?" He sputtered.

Feng Jietang was instantly reminded of the complicated situationship between them.

"I just... oh, it’s a long story, alright???"

"..."

If Lang Yuxuan did not know better, he would suspect that Feng Jietang stalked him. But this was Feng Jietang they were talking about here, so that was very unlikely.

Like a gallant knight, Feng Jietang put himself between Lang Yuxuan and Jin Zhuo.

Having made sure that his face was not further deformed, Jin Zhuo snapped his head toward the other two men.

Upon seeing them huddled together, Jin Zhuo was consumed by anger.

"What do you think you are doing, Feng Jietang???" He cried out. "I thought you loved Shen Jingwei! Why would you protect Lang Yuxuan?"

Feng Jietang furrowed his brows.

"How are those two statements even related to each other? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Feng Jietang’s confusion made a click in Jin Zhuo’s head.

So Feng Jietang didn’t know, did he?

With a triumphant smirk, Jin Zhuo stabbed a finger in Lang Yuxuan’s direction.

"Did you not know that Lang Yuxuan had a hand in sabotaging Shen Jingwei’s dance performance?"

Blood drained off Lang Yuxuan’s face as terror slowly flooded his heart.

"Shut up!" He shouted.

He wanted to jump at Jin Zhuo to shut him up, but Feng Jietang stood between them like a formidable wall.

Worse, his eyes seemed to flicker with new understanding.

"Dance performance?" He slowly muttered. "Are you talking about the one during the Winter Solstice act...?"

"Exactly!" Jin Zhuo began cackling like a madman. "He was the one who orchestrated the accident. See? He has been actively trying to harm Shen Jingwei! You should not be on his side!"

Feng Jietang slowly turned his head to look at Lang Yuxuan.

"Is that true...?" He asked.

"I..."

Lang Yuxuan’s heart turned cold from Feng Jietang’s question. Instead of giving the other man a proper answer, he bit into his lower lip and curled his hands into fists.

That was undeniably true, but it happened such a long time ago!

And he regretted it immensely!

He would never attempt such a wicked scheme in the future!

"Heh, heh, heh..."

Jin Zhuo broke into a sneer.

"And do you know why he was in that nightclub that night?"

"..."

Lang Yuxuan’s fingernails clawed into his palms so hard that they were about to draw blood from the flesh.

"No, don’t!"

This time, he lunged in Jin Zhuo’s direction but Feng Jietang held him back.

"Why?" Feng Jietang asked, but the question seemed to be directed at Lang Yuxuan and not Jin Zhuo.

Jin Zhuo, on the other hand, was more than happy to answer.

"The truth is that we agreed to ruin Shen Jingwei for good that night," he explained without hesitation. "Lang Yuxuan’s task was to pour sleeping drug into Shen Jingwei’s drink, and I would handle the rest."

Feng Jietang’s body stiffened, a ripple of revulsion passing through him. With a barely noticeable movement, he edged away from Lang Yuxuan, his disdain palpable in the silent language of his body.

"Did you...?" He asked again, this time the question was clearly directed at Lang Yuxuan.

"I..."

The words were stuck in Lang Yuxuan’s throat. He did pour the wretched drug into the beer, but he did not switch the two glasses in the end.

He changed his mind.

He poured the beer into a pot instead.

But that still didn’t change the fact that he agreed to work together with Jin Zhuo to ruin Shen Jingwei.

He did want Shen Jingwei out of the picture.

He did want to drive Shen Jingwei away from the entertainment industry.

Lang Yuxuan’s heart pounded in his chest as his lips began to tremble. He was trapped, his silence a confession, his words a condemnation. Jin Zhuo’s smug grin and Feng Jietang’s knowing look were all the judgment he needed.

"I see."

Those two words fell like a judge’s hammer, making Lang Yuxuan flinch and Jin Zhuo’s grin grow broader.

Jin Zhuo stepped closer, intent on yanking Lang Yuxuan off Feng Jietang’s side, but Feng Jietang unexpectedly grabbed him instead.

"Eh?"

"Don’t think that I will let you harm him just because both of you are scums."

Jin Zhuo’s mouth fell open.

"Huh?"

Feng Jietang began dragging Jin Zhuo away.

"Move. Let’s go. And you."

Lang Yuxuan lifted his eyes and met Feng Jietang’s sharp, unyielding ones.

"You better do not attempt any more wicked scheme or I shall have your ass removed from this industry. For all I care, you will never find employment in the future."

"..."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jin Zhuo cried out in protest as he was being dragged away by Feng Jietang. "What about Lang Yuxuan? Heyyy!!!"

Feng Jietang said nothing in response.

Lang Yuxuan was left behind just like that.

The young man stood motionless in the middle of the small street, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. Unnoticed, tears began to stream down his face, jolting him back to the harsh reality.

The dark secrets he had buried deep within had risen from the grave, their spectral forms haunting his every move.

Once Feng Jietang became aware of this disgusting side of Lang Yuxuan, who could blame him for hating Lang Yuxuan?

He shouldn’t care that much, Lang Yuxuan thought as he wiped the fallen tears off his face.

But he did.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t hurt this much.
