The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

C284: Side Story - Jiang Long x Bai Han

Jiang Long has never been able to figure out what Bai Han is thinking. Bai Han is like a still, dark pool of water, deep and silent most of the time. Although a bit dull, at least he listens obediently.

Jiang Long likes obedient people.

Obedience means no betrayal.

When he went abroad for further studies for just a couple of years, most of his fans were snatched away by Chen Xiao, that damn guy. Now, only a few remain, and they are also wavering.

Though Jiang Long was angry, he was still relatively calm about it. In the entertainment industry, without exposure, how many people will remember you? He was mentally prepared when he went abroad.

Jiang Long booked a flight back home for tomorrow and has three well-polished original songs ready. He is determined to make a comeback and surpass Chen Xiao.

The spacious single apartment is messy, with only Bai Han tidying up. Jiang Long is lying lazily on the sofa, scrolling through domestic news on his phone. When he sees Chen Xiao's new movie or TV series trending again, he scoffs, still despising his former rival.

What's so great about him?

He swears he will outdo Chen Xiao when he returns home!

Thinking about this, Jiang Long furrows his brows, throws his phone aside, and lies on the sofa, propping his head with his hand, asking, "Who do you think is better, me or Chen Xiao?"

Bai Han is squatting on the floor, packing. His black short-sleeved shirt clings to his well-built body. Clearly, he has heard Jiang Long ask this question many times before. He softly says, "You."

Very earnestly.

Jiang Long sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. He actually wanted to hear some sweet words, but Bai Han is too straightforward, just giving a few sparse words without much praise.

Jiang Long stands up directly from the sofa, walks to Bai Han, squats in front of him, and pinches his chin to make him look at him, sternly asking, "Hey, will you lose weight if you speak some sweet words?"

Bai Han looks at him silently, not saying a word.

For some reason, Jiang Long feels a bit guilty and awkwardly retracts his hand, muttering, "You're so dumb. I guess when I return, if anyone would still want you as an assistant, it'll be me. You should spend more time online and get smarter."

Learn to say some sweet words to make me happy in the future.

After saying this, he pats his butt and stands up, ready to lie back on the sofa. However, his phone suddenly rings. Jiang Long picks it up and sees it's a message from his agent. He frowns, avoids Bai Han, and walks to the balcony to answer the call.

Jiang Long's behavior is unusual; he even closes the balcony door. Usually, he never avoids Bai Han when taking calls.

Bai Han glances at Jiang Long's back, then stands up and quietly opens the balcony door slightly, able to faintly hear Jiang Long's conversation.

"Replace the assistant? Why?... So what if he has a criminal record? He served his time; he didn't escape... I don't care what the internet says."

Jiang Long's usual tone is quite spoiled, but this time, there is a hint of annoyance. He holds onto the railing and the phone, his brows furrowed tightly. "We'll discuss this when I return. I'll talk to the big boss myself."

Bai Han grew up in an orphanage and even served time for fighting before. If this matter is dug up by netizens when he returns to China, it will inevitably affect Jiang Long. The agent, considering various factors, hopes he can dismiss Bai Han.
