Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

162: 162. I’ll help youLu Feng, however, didn’t hesitate in the slightest. His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, as if it could pierce through all obstacles, then he pointed towards the coastline: ”Over there, behind the cluster of reefs.”

The two avoided the tourists on the main beach and hurried along the uneven edge of the reef cluster.

The path here was very difficult to navigate; their feet were on slippery rocks, and waves crashed against the reefs, splashing icy water.

When the two finally struggled past a giant reef barrier, their view suddenly opened up to a relatively secluded small cove, with almost no tourists.

And not far away, on a large, smooth reef extending outwards, worn by the waves, a figure sat alone, hugging her knees.

The sea breeze ruffled her long hair, and her back appeared particularly thin, forlorn, and... helpless.

That back, Xu Ting knew all too well; it was Wang Yuxi, who had been missing for two days!

She was like a sculpture that had lost its soul, gazing motionlessly at the horizon where the sea met the sky, completely unresponsive to the footsteps approaching from behind.

”Yuxi!”

As Wang Yuxi’s best friend, Xu Ting’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she saw her sitting alone on the dangerous reef.

She ran over quickly, her feet slipping several times, almost causing her to fall. Finally, she rushed to Wang Yuxi’s side, embracing her tightly, her voice trembling with lingering fear: ”You scared me to death, do you hear me!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yuxi slowly turned her head.

Her face was a bit pale, and her eyes held a dazed and weary look. Seeing that it was Xu Ting, she forced a bitter smile: ”Tingting... it’s you.”

”What exactly are you doing? How did you suddenly run off to a place like this? You wouldn’t answer your phone or reply to messages, we were all going crazy!” Xu Ting asked in a rapid-fire manner, her hands gripping Wang Yuxi’s arms tightly, as if afraid she would disappear the next second.

Wang Yuxi took out her phone, which had a black screen, from her pocket and shook her head helplessly: ”I left in a hurry, and my phone ran out of battery. I’m sorry, I made you all worry.”

She paused, then looked at Xu Ting with some confusion, ”By the way... how did you find me here? This place... I don’t think I’ve told anyone about it.”

”Little Lu found you!” Xu Ting immediately turned sideways and pointed behind her.

Wang Yuxi looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that Lu Feng had also arrived at some point, standing quietly on a nearby reef. The sea breeze ruffled his clothes, and he looked at her with a calm gaze.

A hint of apology flashed across Wang Yuxi’s face, and she tried to maintain her usual bright and generous demeanor: ”Little Feng, you came too... It seems I was too willful this time, causing you all to travel so far.”

Lu Feng did not respond to her politeness. He knew Wang Yuxi was just putting on a brave face.

Feeling the salty sea breeze, he suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching Wang Yuxi’s ears:

”Sister Yuxi, I can help you.”

This simple sentence made both Wang Yuxi and Xu Ting freeze.

Wang Yuxi’s eyes flickered, then she forced a stiff smile: ”Little Feng, what are you talking about? What help? I... I’m fine, I just came out to clear my head because I was in a bad mood.”

Lu Feng’s tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable certainty: ”I know all about your situation.”

Wang Yuxi instinctively felt it was impossible!

The shame and fear buried deep in her heart, she had never mentioned it to anyone, not even her closest friend, Xu Ting, knew about it!

But... his gaze was so firm, as if he truly understood everything.

Her forced smile could no longer be maintained and slowly faded.

Lu Feng continued: ”Sister Yuxi, I can help you completely get rid of the threat of those photos, but in return, you also need to help me with a favor.”

Wang Yuxi’s face suddenly changed, no longer able to remain calm. This sentence indirectly confirmed that Lu Feng’s words were true.

Xu Ting, who was beside them, was completely confused and looked at the two anxiously: ”Photos? What photos? Yuxi, what are you hiding from me? Tell me quickly!”

Wang Yuxi pressed her lips tightly together, shaking her head painfully: ”Tingting, this has nothing to do with you... I don’t want to get you involved... Those people...”

”Did you encounter something terrible in the entertainment industry?”

Xu Ting wasn’t foolish; she immediately thought of the darkness behind the glamorous facade of the entertainment industry and pressed on nervously, ”Tell me quickly! We’re good friends, no matter how big the problem, I’ll help you bear it!”

After Xu Ting’s persistent questioning, Wang Yuxi remained silent for a long time before, with a choked voice, she recounted the unbearable past in fragments.

It turned out that shortly after she entered the industry, when she was still a naive newcomer, she was deceived by a hypocritical and famous director who lured her to a hotel room under the pretext of discussing a script, attempting to assault her.

Although she fought desperately and ultimately was not violated, that beast took many photos of her disheveled, extremely distressed, and private during the struggle.

This incident became an unhealed scar in her heart.

Even more terrifying, these photos somehow ended up in the hands of Wei Rong, the boss of her current company.

Wei Rong made an agreement with her: as long as she joined the company for 5 years, the original photos would be returned to her, and she would be set free once the contract expired.

Wang Yuxi believed her. She didn’t think Wei Rong, also a woman, would deceive her. So, she worked hard, filmed dramas, took endorsements, and step by step became today’s movie queen.

Five years passed, and she thought she had reached the end, but unexpectedly, after the contract expired, Wei Rong had no intention of letting go of her cash cow. Instead, she became even more aggressive, threatening her with those photos to renew a harsher, more exploitative contract.

If Wang Yuxi didn’t agree, Wei Rong would not only make the photos public, destroying Wang Yuxi’s career, but also share them with certain upper-class figures with special fetishes, making her life a living hell.

The final deadline given by the other party was getting closer and closer. Wang Yuxi felt pushed to a dead end. All her efforts and persistence seemed to have lost their meaning. The immense pressure even made her contemplate suicide, which is why she ran alone to this secluded beach, seeking a moment of peace, or perhaps... a farewell.

After listening to Wang Yuxi’s desperate narration, Xu Ting was already trembling with rage, utterly furious!

She couldn’t believe that her best friend, who she had always seen as confident, dazzling, and seemingly invincible, was secretly carrying such a heavy secret and trauma deep inside!

”Bastard! Beast! This Wei Rong is simply inhuman!”

Xu Ting gnashed her teeth in hatred, ”Yuxi, don’t be afraid! Leave this to me! Our Xu Family is not to be trifled with, I will definitely help you get justice!”

Wang Yuxi, however, quickly pulled back the agitated Xu Ting, shaking her head: ”Tingting, no! You don’t know... The people behind Wei Rong have deep connections. I’ve investigated... She often organizes some artists in the industry to ’serve’ the upper class... Her next step is to force me to... I don’t want to drag you all into this...”
