Ch 40: A Fit of Anger for a Male Confidante
After leaving the Police Station, Zheng Xiao asked Jiang Zao to take her directly to the hospital.
In the car, Zheng Xiao curiously asked Jiang Zao: “What did you say to that beast? How did he so readily go back on his word? He was shamelessly saying he’d make me disappear from the industry.”
Jiang Zao couldn’t explain her rebirth, so she could only say: “I just happened to know a little something he wanted to hide.”
Then, changing the subject, she couldn’t help but nag Zheng Xiao again, “Couldn’t you be more rational? You dared to act in the Police Station. What if some media paparazzi were following? If things blow up, your family’s Old Master will argue with you again.”
Zheng Xiao carelessly curled her lips: “Let him argue. It’s not like we haven’t argued before. As for paparazzi, it’s not like they haven’t filmed videos of me hitting people.”
Indeed, early in her career, Zheng Xiao had been on the hot search many times for her bad temper and tendency to hit people.
Although she had already conquered most netizens with her talent and strength, she still couldn’t silence the haters, who would occasionally use these two points to criticize her.
Zheng Xiao was already used to it.
At the hospital parking lot, Zheng Xiao put on a hat and mask before getting out of the car with Jiang Zao.
They found Lu Li, who had his wounds bandaged but still needed to be hospitalized for observation, and Zheng Xiao’s agent, Andy, in the inpatient ward.
“How is he?” Zheng Xiao asked, taking off her hat and mask as soon as she entered.
Andy told her the results of the examination: “Date rape drug, the kind commonly used in the industry. Fortunately, Lu Li has a good will and remained conscious. He only has superficial injuries, but he hit his head while struggling and has a slight concussion. The doctor recommends staying in the hospital for observation overnight.”
Zheng Xiao cursed under her breath: “I should have kicked that beast a few more times.”
After saying that, she walked to the bedside and poked Lu Li’s head hard, not caring about the gauze wrapped around it.
Her tone was disgusted: “Weren’t you quite clever when racing? You dare to put anything people give you in your mouth. Haven’t you experienced the beatings of society?”
Fu Yanci, floating behind Jiang Zao, finally understood why Zheng Xiao was always rumored to have a bad temper.
If this scene were filmed by the media, it would definitely be another scandal of abusing an assistant.
Lu Li grimaced in pain but didn’t dodge, “He’s a Director, and he said he wanted to work with you. If I offend him, it will affect your career.”
Without any complaining or aggrieved emotions, Lu Li’s tone was flat and straightforward, simply stating the facts, but the look in his eyes towards Zheng Xiao was sincere.
Zheng Xiao continued to scold him: “He wants to affect my career? Who does he think he is? If I hadn’t arrived in time today, tomorrow you would have become the male lead in a video on that scumbag’s computer, for him or more people to watch and enjoy in the future, understand?”
Lu Li seemed not to have expected the entertainment industry to be so complicated, “I’m sorry for bringing you trouble. If you want to fire me, you can do so at any time, but I may not be able to immediately return the advance salary. Can I pay in installments? I’ll write you an IOU.”
Zheng Xiao was directly amused by him, “What, you want to run away after causing trouble? You wish. Rest for two days and then honestly come to work for me. I’ll deduct your salary if you dare to be absent!”
After saying that, she directly pulled Jiang Zao away.
“Didn’t see that coming? You’re quite good to your assistant.” On the way home, Jiang Zao couldn’t help but tease, “Could this be considered a fit of anger for a male confidante?”
Zheng Xiao lit another cigarette, “He’s my person, after all. Am I supposed to watch him be harmed by that Zhang bastard? This isn’t over. Wasn’t that beast threatening to make me disappear from the industry? This time, Daddy will teach him who he can provoke and who he can’t touch, even to the death.”
Jiang Zao knew Zheng Xiao was protective, so she sent her to the entrance of the residential area and said before she got out of the car, “I’ll send you something when you get home. You can decide what to do with it then.”
“More riddles.” Zheng Xiao flicked the remaining cigarette butt into the nearby trash can, waved goodbye to Jiang Zao, and entered the residential area gate.
Fu Yanci was also very curious about what Jiang Zao was up to, until they returned home. Jiang Zao first went to the bedroom to take a look, and then returned to the study.
Her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and in less than a minute, she had infiltrated Director Zhang’s computer, copied some very explicit and shocking videos, and packaged them up to send to Zheng Xiao.
At the same time, she sent Zheng Xiao a WeChat voice message.
“Baby, I don’t understand the entertainment industry, so you can decide what to do with those videos.”
Fu Yanci, floating behind her, frowned slightly.
Baby?
◈◈◈
Why is she calling her so affectionately?
Soon, Zheng Xiao replied: “Holy crap! These scumbags, I’m going to get a stye. I’m so disgusted I’m going to throw up my dinner from last night. Calling him a beast is an overestimation. I was originally thinking of finding someone to set up a trap to manipulate him, but now the evidence is readily available. I’ll make sure he’s finished!”
In the early morning, when the rising sun brought the first light to the earth, the well-known paparazzi ‘Dogtail Grass’ posted a Weibo.
At exactly 12 noon, a shocking revelation!!!
The accompanying picture was a clock showing exactly 12 o’clock.
【If you have the ability, just reveal it directly. Stop always doing previews.】
【I just want to know how shocking it can be?】
【Grass Brother’s deadline is a bit short this time. What if people wake up late and don’t see this Weibo post, and miss the time to buy the material?】
【It really doesn’t fit Grass Brother’s usual style. Didn’t he usually announce it the day before and reveal it the next day?】
Facts prove that netizens’ guesses often come true.
Director Zhang, who had been accustomed to waking up early for many years, drank some wine after being humiliated by Zheng Xiao last night, and for the only time, slept until the afternoon. He woke up to find his Weibo private messages at 99+, mentions at 99+…
And the videos he had originally saved as trophies were spreading like wildfire online.
His name was all over the hot searches.
The comments section was filled with contempt and scolding for him.
【Holy crap! I admit this revelation is indeed shocking. Grass Brother is really awesome this time!】
【Although the male actors who were prostituted were all blurred out, it’s obvious that they aren’t the same person. But Director Zhang’s expression is disgusting enough. I just threw up the food I just ate.】
【Those who were whipped belong to intentional injury, right? The person being beaten sounded very scared, but that Zhang beast could still smile so happily?】
【The world of perverts is something we can’t understand.】
◈◈◈
Jiang Zao only opened Weibo specifically after Zheng Xiao reminded her, and as a result, she found that the comments section was indeed full of talented people. Even though the videos were clearly blurred, some people could still identify which stars were being prostituted.
Although those videos were quickly taken down because they were too explicit, many netizens still recorded them.
And just as Director Zhang was being handcuffed and taken away by the police in full view of the public, Zheng Xiao posted a Weibo.
Zheng Xiao V: Let’s see who will really disappear from the entertainment industry?
The accompanying picture was black characters on a white background, saying: Idiot!
Netizens: “?”
【What’s this sister going crazy about again?】
【The timing is too coincidental. Who would believe it wasn’t intentional?】
【Rumor has it that Zheng Xiao beat Director Zhang yesterday.】
【So this whole thing today was done by Zheng Xiao? The violent sister has transformed into a cleaner of the entertainment industry, eliminating harm for the people?】
