Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

168: 168. It’s all over.When her phone rang, Wang Yuxi was at Xu Ting’s house, her mood relaxed after just taking a shower.

When she saw the name “Wei Rong” flashing on the screen, she instinctively tensed up, her fingers curling slightly. Xu Ting, who was beside her, handed her a towel, and happened to glimpse Wei Rong’s number, immediately saying calmly, “Answer it, let’s see what she wants.”

Although Lu Feng said he would help, neither of them knew when it would start.

Wang Yuxi took a deep breath, answered the call, and, as Lu Feng had indicated beforehand, pressed the record and speakerphone buttons.

“Yu… Yuxi…”

Wei Rong’s voice came from the other end of the phone, completely different from her previous domineering tone, carrying an obvious tremble and humility, and even a hint of suppressed crying. “It’s… it’s me, Sister Wei…”

Wang Yuxi tried to keep her voice calm: “President Wei, is something the matter?”

“Before… before, Sister Wei was in the wrong! Sister Wei was blinded by greed, and I apologize to you! A sincere apology to you!”

Wei Rong’s voice became urgent, as if afraid Wang Yuxi would hang up. “Can we… can we meet to talk? Just the two of us, let’s have a good talk! The contract… the contract can be discussed! Termination! We’ll terminate unconditionally! You’re free! Also… also those… those photos…”

At this point, Wei Rong’s voice was filled with immense fear and pleading: “The originals, all the negatives, the backups on the computer, the USB drive… I’ll find them all, destroy them in front of you, and return them all to you! Not a single one left! Please… Yuxi, for the sake of all these years… for the sake of me helping you back then, please plead with President Yu for me, be lenient, and let me go! I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!”

She was very worried; now Yu Tianxiong clearly had Xiao Hao under his thumb, and if it came down to the two of them, she could easily become a sacrifice.

She had known too many secrets these past few years, and was afraid of disappearing.

Listening to Wei Rong’s incoherent pleas, Wang Yuxi was filled with mixed emotions, relief, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

She looked at Xu Ting, who also widened her eyes, then nodded heavily.

Wang Yuxi understood her meaning, and said faintly into the phone: “Time, place.”

Wei Rong was as if granted a great pardon, and quickly reported a very public high-end coffee shop private room in the city center, setting the time for one hour later, as if afraid Wang Yuxi would change her mind… One hour later, Wang Yuxi, accompanied by Xu Ting, arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop private room.

Pushing open the private room door, the sight before them made both Wang Yuxi and Xu Ting slightly stunned.

Wei Rong had already arrived. She was no longer the meticulously made-up, imposing entertainment company boss.

At this moment, she was wearing an inconspicuous gray suit, her face bare, pale and haggard, with a faint trace of redness and swelling still visible on her left cheek.

The coffee in front of her was untouched, and her hands tightly clutched a thick brown paper document bag and a small metal USB drive.

Seeing Wang Yuxi enter, Wei Rong suddenly stood up like a startled rabbit, her eyes filled with fear and fawning, completely lacking her usual composure.

“Yuxi… President Xu…” Her voice was dry, and she quickly gestured, “Please sit, please sit quickly.”

Wang Yuxi and Xu Ting sat opposite her, watching her calmly.

Wei Rong dared not delay for a moment, immediately pushing the document bag and USB drive in her hand towards Wang Yuxi, explaining rapidly: “Yuxi, everything is here! The document bag contains all the paper photos and negatives from… from that incident back then. I personally retrieved them from the safe, not a single one missing! The USB drive contains all the electronic backups. I’ve thoroughly deleted them from my computer and cloud drive; this is the only copy left!”

Fearing Wang Yuxi wouldn’t believe her, she took out her phone and opened a video: “Look, this is a recording of me formatting my computer hard drive and clearing my cloud account in the office just now. You can check…”

Wang Yuxi didn’t look at the phone recording. Her gaze fell on the document bag that had carried her nightmares for many years, her fingers trembling slightly.

Xu Ting reached out and gently squeezed her hand, offering support.

Wang Yuxi took a deep breath and opened the document bag. Inside were indeed those unbearable photos from her memory.

Xu Ting also saw these photos at this time, and immediately felt immense heartache for Wang Yuxi.

Wang Yuxi suppressed the turmoil in her heart, carefully checked everything, confirmed it was correct, then she picked up the USB drive and looked at Wei Rong.

Wei Rong immediately understood, and quickly said: “The contract! I also brought the termination contract!”

She took out another document from her briefcase, “This is the unconditional termination agreement. You see, the terms are completely in your favor, with no restrictions or compensation. Once signed, you and Tianxin Media will have no further ties!”

Wang Yuxi took the contract and reviewed it carefully.

Xu Ting also leaned over to look, confirming that the terms were indeed clean and straightforward, without any traps.

“Pen,” Wang Yuxi said faintly.

Wei Rong quickly offered the prepared signing pen with both hands.

Wang Yuxi solemnly signed her name in theParty B (Party B) signature space. The rustling sound of the pen across the paper seemed to mark the end of her suppressed years.

After signing, Wang Yuxi picked up the document bag and USB drive, and said to Wei Rong: “I hope this is the last time I see these things, and I hope this is the last time I see you because of these matters.”

Wei Rong nodded her head like a pecking chick: “Never again! Absolutely never again! I promise! Yuxi… no, Miss Wang, thank you… thank you for forgiving me…”

Her posture was humbled to the dust.

Wang Yuxi said nothing more. She and Xu Ting stood up, holding the termination letter symbolizing freedom and relief, and the secrets they had reclaimed, leaving the private room without looking back.

Wei Rong slumped alone in the private room, watching their retreating figures, feeling as if all strength had been drained from her body.

Fear temporarily receded, replaced by a post-catastrophe exhaustion and uncertainty about her future.

She knew that she had become a pawn discarded by Xiao Hao, but at this moment, she had at least temporarily saved her life from Xiao Hao’s wrath.

As Wang Yuxi walked out of the coffee shop, she took a deep breath, facing the bright sunshine outside, feeling as if a huge rock that had weighed on her heart for many years had finally been completely removed.

She smiled at Xu Ting, tears welling in her eyes.

Xu Ting hugged her and patted her shoulder: “It’s all over. A new beginning awaits.”

“Mhm, it’s all over,” Wang Yuxi murmured… After Xu Ting and Wang Yuxi left the coffee shop, they were filled with mixed emotions, both the relief of solving a huge problem and a deeper curiosity and gratitude towards Lu Feng.

Both of them, without prior agreement, wanted to see him immediately and thank him in person.

So, after getting in the car, they drove towards Jiangcheng University.

After parking in the campus parking lot, the two walked along the tree-lined campus path. One was a tall CEO, the other an award-winning actress, each with their distinct style. Even with masks and hats, they immediately attracted countless students’ gazes, with whispers and phone camera clicks incessantly in the air.

“That silhouette definitely belongs to a beauty!”

“Yes, absolutely stunning! Who is it? An upperclassman? Or a new teacher?”

They arrived at Lu Feng’s dormitory building. Xu Ting took out her phone, ready to make a call.

At the same time, Liu Yuxi, the Vice President of the Student Union, and Zhang Zhanpeng also happened to be looking for Lu Feng. Both knew that Lu Feng had an extraordinary background, and wanted to take advantage of the new Student Union elections to invite him to be the head of an important department, to curry favor and show goodwill.

As soon as Zhang Zhanpeng arrived downstairs, he saw Xu Ting and the other woman, and both were stunned, especially by the beautiful woman beside them, wearing sunglasses but whose exquisite temperament could not be concealed, finding her unusually familiar.

Just then, Lu Feng came down the stairs, apparently having received Xu Ting’s message.

“Brother Feng, we were just looking for you…” Liu Yuxi greeted him with a fawning smile, but before he could finish, he saw Lu Feng walk directly towards the two beautiful women.

What made them even more dumbfounded was that the sunglasses-wearing beauty, upon seeing Lu Feng, immediately took off her sunglasses, revealing an exquisite face that often appeared on big screens and billboards.

It was none other than the award-winning actress, Wang Yuxi!

“Little Feng,” Wang Yuxi’s voice carried a subtle hint of excitement and gratitude.

“Lu Feng…” Xu Ting also smiled as she looked at him.

Lu Feng nodded at the two, then looked at Zhang Zhanpeng and Liu Yuxi, who were frozen to the side, their eyes wide likecopper bell (bronze bells), and smiled: “Senior Zhang, Senior Liu, are you looking for me? I’m sorry, I have something to attend to. Shall we chat later?”

“Uh… okay… okay!” Zhang Zhanpeng suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly waved his hand, and pulled Liu Yuxi, who hadn’t recovered from the shock of “I actually saw Wang Yuxi up close!”, to the side.

They watched Lu Feng naturally walk away with the two beautiful women, heading towards the teaching building, their hearts greatly impacted.

“I… I didn’t see wrong, did I? Was that Wang Yuxi? Why would she come to find Lu Feng?” Liu Yuxi murmured.

“And by the looks of it… their relationship is quite extraordinary…”

Zhang Zhanpeng’s eyes were complex, “This Lu Feng… is even more… unfathomable than we imagined. Invite him to be a department head? I think… the Student Union, this small temple, might not be able to accommodate such a great Buddha.”

… Lu Feng led the two to an empty classroom in a teaching building, casually closing the door to block out the outside noise.

“Resolved?”

Lu Feng leaned casually against the podium, asking with a relaxed smile.

Wang Yuxi looked at his young yet steady face, her emotions incredibly complex.

This “didi” who was several years younger than her had actually, in a short period, so effortlessly resolved the problem she considered a catastrophe.

She took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lu Feng with utmost solemnity:

“Lu Feng, thank you! Truly… thank you very much! If it weren’t for you, I might have…”

Lu Feng stepped forward and gently supported her, interrupting: “Sister Yuxi, there’s no need for this, it was just a small effort.”

Wang Yuxi straightened up, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry: “I… can I ask how you did it? Wei Rong… and Xiao Hao behind her, why were they so… afraid?”

She recalled Wei Rong’s desperate pleas, still finding it hard to believe.

Lu Feng smiled, and said faintly: “Everyone has secrets. You have a past you don’t want to revisit, and they… naturally have weaknesses and scandals they are even more afraid of being known. I just happened to know some things they fear most being exposed.”

He didn’t elaborate, but the power in his words made both Wang Yuxi and Xu Ting understand that it must have been a fatal leverage capable of destroying Wei Rong and Xiao Hao.

Wang Yuxi didn’t press further. She knew some things shouldn’t be probed. She then asked: “Then, what you mentioned earlier, the thing you needed my help with…”

Lu Feng nodded, his smile fading, his eyes becoming serious: “I plan to establish a new media company, named ‘Ting Feng Media’. Sister Yuxi, you have been deeply involved in the entertainment industry for many years, possessing extremely high visibility, rich industry experience and connections, and a deep understanding of content. I hope that you will serve as the CEO of Ting Feng Media.”

“You will be fully responsible for the company’s management and operations. We need a strong, independent channel for our voice. This is not only for business strategy, but also potentially for more complex public opinion battles in the future. You are the most suitable person.”

Listening to Lu Feng’s plans, and seeing the foresight and trust in his eyes that transcended his age, a long-lost passion and sense of mission surged within Wang Yuxi.

This was not just a job; it was the beginning of her breaking free from past shadows and truly taking control of her career and life!

She hardly hesitated, her gaze meeting Lu Feng’s with determination: “Okay! Lu Feng, I’ll listen to you! I’ll be this CEO! I will definitely make Ting Feng Media successful, and I will not let you down!”

In the empty classroom, a seed was quietly sown for what might become a giant that would stir the entire media industry.
