Chapter 117: It's Not Easy Being a Thief

  As for Yi Fei Yang, the situation wasn't much better. He was still confident in his drinking capacity, but didn't expect to feel dizzy and lightheaded after just a short while.

  In a daze, he felt that something was not quite right, and touched the 24 million check in his pocket, it's still there.

  "No way, I need to get out of here ASAP. Dammit, I drank too much." He stumbled as he walked, ignoring the people around him and his own greeting, Yi Feiyang tried his best to steady himself and headed outside.

  Behind Yi Fei Yang's back, his Jessica Alba finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "About time this guy is finally leaving." Jessica thought to herself.

  Quentin, who had been with her all along, saw her relaxed expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Your friend seems to have drunk too much wine, haven't you seen him staggering with every step?"

  "Uh, what do you mean?"

  "My point is, why don't you go and help him out, or he might end up passing out on the street."

  "Hmph, I'm not that kind-hearted. What if he finds out and knows I want to jump ship? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Jessica said with her mouth, but her eyes revealed a hint of worry.

  Alas, I have no choice, this young lady's heart is still too soft!

  "Don't fool yourself anymore, Jessica. You're a good person, aren't you?" Quentin smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely cooperate with you, so go ahead and chase after him with peace of mind."

  Upon hearing this, Jessica felt reassured, and coming here today was still quite effective after all.

  "Well then I'll go first, next time I have time I'll treat you to McDonald's!" Jessica said, waving her small hand and chasing after Yi Fei Yang.

  Yi Feiyang felt more and more unwell as he walked, especially his lower abdomen started to feel hot.

  "What's wrong with me?" he asked himself. "I've never had anything like this happen before. Could it be that these foreign wines are really that potent?"

  Yi Feiyang walked step by step, and his mind slowly began to hallucinate, his consciousness somewhat unclear.

  He bit his tongue sharply and only then did Yi Feiyang slightly come back to himself.

  When he arrived at the parking lot, the short attendant respectfully returned the car key to him. Yi Feiyang said "thank you", but the short attendant said: "Thank you, sir, thank you for the $100 tip, really, thank you!"

  You know, as a parking attendant, they mainly rely on these small tips to make a living. They work hard all day and can usually earn dozens of dollars, which is already very good. Who would be as generous as Yi Feiyang, giving away $100 in cash at once?

  "Also, sir, would you like me to call a designated driver for you? I think you've had quite a bit of wine?"

  Yi Feiyang's head was dizzy and swollen, he understood his meaning, shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm not going to drive back, just want to lie in the car and rest for a while."

  Yi Feiyang thought it was simple. Since it's a sleeper bus, there's no need to waste money on a hotel room.

  "Alright then, sir, I'll help you park your car in a secluded spot, you get some rest."

  "Thank you." Yi Feiyang felt his throat dry.

  ……

  The short service attendant helped Yifei Yang park the car in a garden not far away, which was much quieter and generally wouldn't have anyone passing by, most importantly, they wouldn't be fined by the police.

  After the short service staff left, Yi Fei felt hot and unbearable, directly took off his clothes, pulled a blanket to cover himself, and lay on the sofa in the car, panting heavily. Perhaps because he was lying down, his whole body began to relax, although various inexplicable hallucinations continued to appear before his eyes, yet somehow a few threads of drowsiness emerged from the bottom of his heart.

  His eyelids struggled for a while, and Yifei Yang's head finally tilted to one side...

  ……

  "This is terrible, how did he get into the car and not come out? Is he asleep inside? Well, even if he's asleep, I can finally go back with peace of mind." This muttering girl was naturally Jessica-Alba, who had been following Yi Fei Yang all along, afraid that something would happen to him.

  At this moment, Jessica Alba was looking at the car parked by the small garden, muttering to herself, and since Yi Feiyang seemed fine, she was about to leave.

  But soon, she seemed to have thought of something again.

  "No, what if this guy got drunk and suffocated in the car with the heater on, or got so drunk he vomited all over the place, or even did something crazy like cutting his wrists... I'd better go check. Ugh, why do I have to be so kind?" Jessica Alba thought to herself as she walked towards the minivan.

  "Oh my god, this big idiot didn't even close the car door!" Jessica immediately noticed the situation over here.

  Gently pushing open the car door, taking advantage of a sliver of light, Jessica sneaked a peek inside...

  No one was suffocated in the car.

  Nor was there any nauseating vomiting.

  There is no self-mutilation or suicide...

  But inside, he saw the clothes that had been taken off, and next to the sofa, Yifei Yang was covered with a blanket, snoring loudly, sleeping soundly.

  Jessica felt relieved but couldn't help saying: "What a pig, getting drunk and then sleeping..."

  After scolding her, Jessica saw that Yi Feiyang was still covered with a blanket and snoring loudly, without any reaction.

  Suddenly, a thought arose in Jessica's mind, "You scoundrel, you sleep so soundly, now I can take revenge on you, see if you dare to cheat me again!"

  As soon as she thought of being deceived by Yi Feiyang into joining the Dream Illusion Film Company, and serving as a minor actor for his films, Jessica felt a wave of discontent in her heart.

  "Hah, why aren't you being arrogant now? Get up and show me some attitude!" Jessica said with a smirk, pinching Yifei Yang's cheeks.

  "You lied to me saying I'd be the female lead, but didn't give me any scenes. You lied to me saying things would get better soon, yet you went off to film a pornographic movie... Big scoundrel, it's better to trust myself than to trust you!"

  Jessica got angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but increase the force with which she pinched Yifeng's face.

  "And another thing, don't think you're some kind of goddamn rockstar! Look at how you were acting tonight at the banquet, you damn fool, standing on stage looking all dignified and spouting a bunch of nonsense, and those naive women were completely taken in by your lies, I just can't understand it, how could they be so stupid as to fall for your tricks?"

  "And you really think you're so impressive, holding onto a 24 million yuan template, showing off and boasting about it, afraid that others won't know you can make big money, one play and you become a multimillionaire..."

  Billionaire?!

  At this point, Jessica couldn't help but have a thought flash through her mind.

  A check for 24 million won wouldn't still be with him, would it?

  If it's really like that... Oh God, Jessica had an evil fantasy, if she took all the money and ran away, who would know it was her?!

  A bold idea flashed through his mind.

  Jessica suddenly felt her heart beating faster.

  24 million, what a temptation.

  Jessica never thought she would be a thief one day, and even less did she think that the temptation of being a thief for the first time would be so great.

  "Hmm, I'll just take a look at the check then. I've never seen so much money in my life!" Jessica suppressed her racing heart and comforted herself.

  Yes, just take a look, it's not really stealing.

  Jessica thought as she began to nervously search through Yifei Yang's discarded clothes.

  "Isn't it here? Isn't money all in one's pocket?"

  "No! Still no!"

  Jessica, who was originally nervous and careful not to wake up Yifei Yang, became increasingly anxious as the search results failed one after another.

  She rummaged through the trunk more quickly, and after a few minutes, she had searched the entire car inside out, but as a result, that damned check was nowhere to be seen!

  "Hmm, where could he be hiding?" Jessica blinked her eyes left and right, suddenly, she had an idea, "This guy wouldn't hide the check in his quilt, would he? It's very possible, this sly guy!"

  Jessica twitched her red lips, then tiptoed to where Yifei Yang was sleeping. She stretched out her hand and gently lifted the blanket, but when she saw the scene inside, the smile on her face froze instantly...

  Jessica's cheeks were instantly filled with red mist, and she was stunned for a while before spitting out a few words: "Damn it, he actually...?!"

  All that could be seen was Yifei Yang, who had taken off almost all his clothes and was curled up in the blanket, sleeping soundly. Occasionally, he would mumble a few words, but it was unclear what he was saying.

  But soon Jessica's eyes lit up because she saw the leather wallet in Yifei Yang's hand.

  "Yes, that check must be in the wallet, thank God I finally found it, I just need to...” Jessica thought to herself as she reached out with a thief-like movement to take the wallet held by Yifei Yang. But when her hand accidentally touched Yifei Yang's skin, she suddenly felt scorching hot.

  "What's going on? Has he come down with a high fever?" Jessica, who had originally intended to steal the wallet, was taken aback.

  Unable to help herself, Jessica reached out and touched Yifei Yang's forehead, and indeed, it was scorching hot.

  "Gosh, what should we do? He's burning up so badly, should we wake him up and send him to the hospital? Or just help him call an ambulance?"

  "But when did I start caring about this scoundrel? Damn it, let him die of illness for all I care... or is the check more important..." Jessica's mind was torn between saving Yifeiyang and stealing the check...

  Just as she was hesitating and didn't know what to do, Yi Feiyang let out a groan and turned over... seeming to be in a lot of discomfort, he stretched out his hand to scratch himself, and the wallet that he had been tightly gripping fell into the gap between the sofa cushions.

  What an opportunity!

  A rare opportunity!!

  Jessica couldn't help it anymore, the temptation of 24 million made her throat roll and then she quietly stretched out her hand to touch that wallet...
