Faced with Zhang Lin's sudden change in attitude, Wei Yumeng was startled.
The man before her was completely different from his previous demeanor, emanating a sense of danger.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Zhang Lin stepped closer to Wei Yumeng. "Miss Wei, no man would be good to a woman for no reason. There's only one explanation for going to such lengths: I came for you from the start."
Wei Yumeng then remembered that Zhang Lin had mentioned before that he would only agree to film this movie if she was the lead actress in the second part.
Had Zhang Lin been planning this for a long time?
"Mr. Zhang, you're joking. This is our first time meeting today," Wei Yumeng said, taking a step back.
"No, this isn't our first time meeting. It seems I didn't catch your attention back then."
Zhang Lin spoke with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but quickly perked up. "But it doesn't matter. Tonight, I will make sure you remember me thoroughly."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I really need to go," Wei Yumeng said, unwilling to get entangled with Zhang Lin and turning to leave.
"You only think of leaving now? It's too late." Zhang Lin tightly gripped Wei Yumeng's wrist. "I won't let you go."
"Let me go!" Wei Yumeng struggled with all her might, but how could her strength compare to Zhang Lin's?
She was forcefully dragged into the villa by Zhang Lin.
Wei Yumeng's heart pounded. She had never imagined someone could be so inconsistent.
The Zhang Lin before her now, rather than a dazzling star on stage, resembled a kidnapper.
As soon as they entered the house, Zhang Lin threw Wei Yumeng onto the sofa and then locked the door from the inside.
"Miss Wei, I truly admire you. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Will you agree to be with me?"
His once handsome face was now contorted with desire.
Wei Yumeng reached for a cushion on the sofa and threw it at Zhang Lin, but it barely fazed him. He even seemed to enjoy it.
"Miss Wei... ah, no, Yumeng, you can do anything you want to me. I won't resist anything you give me."
"Pervert!" Wei Yumeng couldn't think of a more fitting word. "I truly pity your fans for liking someone like you."
"So what?" Zhang Lin laughed. "Those people say they like me because they are attracted to my appearance. They don't know me at all; they only know the persona the company has created for me. What I truly need is genuine love, love from the bottom of my heart! And the person I love is you."
Although Wei Yumeng wanted to understand why he had become so twisted, she couldn't.
"Zhang Lin, since you say you need love from the bottom of your heart, but I don't love you, how can that be considered love?"
Zhang Lin shook his head. "No, how could you not love me? Don't you have a good impression of me? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken me home."
"You're completely distorting the facts."
Wei Yumeng had only taken him home because of his previous help, which was insignificant.
Even if she had had a good impression of Zhang Lin before, it was only as a friend.
"Yumeng, believe me, I will give you happiness. This villa of mine is no less grand than any of Ye Sihans's. I can give you everything he gives you. If you like me, I can even give you all my possessions, as I myself am already yours."
As Zhang Lin spoke, he pinned Wei Yumeng onto the sofa. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I'm afraid I'll only love you too much."
"Get off!" Wei Yumeng struggled to push Zhang Lin away, but he wouldn't let go.
Zhang Lin's breath made Wei Yumeng feel sick, but she couldn't escape.
"So you feel like this when touched. It's wonderful." Zhang Lin gently caressed Wei Yumeng's cheek.
Wei Yumeng merely shot him an angry glare.
"Why are you angry? I told you I wouldn't hurt you, relax." Zhang Lin continued his predatory actions.
Zhan Mohan had called Wei Yumeng several times, but no one answered.
If it were just a simple matter of taking someone home, she wouldn't be unreachable. This meant only one possibility: Wei Yumeng was in danger.
Zhan Mohan accelerated towards their destination.
"Get off!" Wei Yumeng finally found an opportunity and counterattacked Zhang Lin. However, even though she escaped to the door, she couldn't open it.
Zhang Lin wasn't in a hurry and watched Wei Yumeng with a relaxed expression.
"Yumeng, you can't get out. This door is specially made. Without my key, it cannot be opened from the outside or the inside."
But Wei Yumeng didn't give up, trying every possible way to open the door, even resorting to destructive methods.
Yet, all her efforts, as Zhang Lin had said, were in vain.
"What do you think? Tired? Come and rest for a bit. I've prepared some juice for you."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhang Lin with disbelief. She couldn't fathom how he could remain so relaxed at this moment.
"Not drinking? If you don't conserve your energy, how will you do what comes next? I'm quite... enduring."
As Zhang Lin spoke, he walked towards Wei Yumeng step by step.
Wei Yumeng felt a sense of despair. Was she truly unable to escape today?
She could only bang on the door with all her might, perhaps her last hope.
Meanwhile, Zhan Mohan had arrived outside the villa area.
"Sir, you are not a resident here and have no right to enter freely."
Zhan Mohan glanced coldly at the security guard. "Do you know whose land this is?"
The security guard suddenly realized, "Oh, it's President Zhan. My apologies, it's too dark, I didn't recognize you."
But Zhan Mohan had no time for pleasantries. "Does Zhang Lin live here?"
"That's right, President Ye. He returned not long ago and brought a woman with him."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan's eyes turned even colder. "Go and gather all the security guards and bodyguards here. We're going to Zhang Lin's house together."
The security guard was slightly taken aback but quickly reacted and followed Zhan Mohan's instructions.
Although he sensed the delicate atmosphere surrounding the situation, he knew it was best not to pry into the affairs of these powerful figures to avoid future trouble.
When Zhan Mohan and the bodyguards arrived at Zhang Lin's villa, they heard the sound of knocking on the door.
Zhan Mohan's face darkened. "Break down the door!"
The bodyguards, not daring to hesitate, braced themselves and went for it.
