TN: bonus chapter!💕

Just as Tao Mu was thinking carefully about how to reveal Shen Yu’s plot halo and protagonist halo to Li Xiaoheng and his family without revealing the secret of his rebirth, FlyNews.com’s expatriate reporters were following Shen Yu’s whereabouts to the hospital. And secretly photographed Shen Yu wearing a hospital gown, chatting with other patients in the garden.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In the photo, the fair-skinned and slender boy was bathed in the sunlight, chatting happily with another graceful lady sitting on a stone bench, which looked practically like a scene from an oil painting. The reporter who took pictures was very skilled——he was also a fan of Tao Mu’s photography skills and took his idol’s standard as his goal. When he applied for FlyNews.com, because of his superb photography skills and PS skills, he was originally assigned to the publicity department. This time Tao Mu came to Hong Kong for filming, FlyNews.com wanted to send two reporters to interview him. He volunteered and PKed out a lot of colleagues in an internal competition. After two assessments, he got the expatriate job.

The situation of the other expatriate reporter was similar to him, but he was one of Tao Mu’s fans who idolized him for his diss and smack talk skills. Although the two fan factions have different attributes, they were still of the same camp. It could be said that they were both diehard fans of Tao Mu.

——In fact, FlyNews.com had only been established for one year. And almost all the industry elites who were able to send their resumes to FlyNews.com or directly jump to FlyNews.com in such a short period of time came for Tao Mu himself. It could be said that Tao Mu’s charisma propped up the entire FlyNews.com.

During this period, the war between Tao Mu and Shen Yu, especially the war between the two fanclubs, never stopped. Tao Mu’s fans were full of talents and possessed great fighting prowess, but it couldn’t be helped that Shen Yu’s many brain-dead fans were just too many, and they also happened to love brainwashing others when they talked, and was especially good at pulling other people’s IQ to their level, and then using their rich experience to defeat them.

All in all, the online battle between the two fanclubs was a fierce one. Today you expose my black material, tomorrow I expose your black material. But most of the time, even the people who eat melons had to admit that every time Shen Yu’s side started it first.

This time, the two expatriate reporters learned that Shen Yu had let his family abuse their CEO Tao again. After being exposed by their CEO Tao’s family, he ran out of the studio crying, and also caused a car accident to cause their CEO Tao’s family to be scolded by those idiots who don’t distinguish right from wrong. The two die-hard fans were particularly infuriated.

So they rushed to the hospital as soon as possible. At first, they just wanted to ask Shen Yu to do an interview, and wanted Shen Yu to say personally if he also felt that his car accident should be blamed on CEO Tao’s family. But as soon as they entered the hospital, they realized something was not right.

The person who was supposedly in a car accident could actually still walk around and relax in the hospital garden, even chatting and laughing with other patients. How was there even the slightest bit of an injured patient’s appearance in his speech and behavior?

The two expatriate reporters subconsciously hid in the blind spot of Shen Yu’s line of sight and started taking pictures. The reporter with very good photography skills also adjusted the shooting angle, used the sunset as a natural filter, and used the blooming plants and flowers in the garden as a foil to render Shen Yu’s exquisite looks to be especially beautiful. The most important thing was to make Shen Yu’s complexion look very dewy and healthy.

The other reporter secretly turned on the camera and took a video of Shen Yu walking as usual. In the video, little prince Shen was jumping, skipping, talking and laughing, and it was not at all obvious that he was someone who had just experienced a car accident.

The two foreign reporters from FlyNews.com felt that something was wrong. Immediately, conspiracy theories began.

Not to mention that the learning ability of top students was just that strong. When the two expatriate reporters were at the headquarters of FlyNews.com, they were just regular employees of the publicity department and reporters who ran news interviews. After arriving in Hong Kong for a few months, they now knew all the cat and dog ways they learned from the notorious Hong Kong gossip paparazzi. They even secretly went to make inquiries of Shen Yu’s attending doctor, and even bribed a hospital nurse to secretly take out Shen Yu’s medical case.

As a result, the so-called car accident injury turned out to be just a false fright. The only wound turned out to be a scratch on the palm. Apparently he was so frightened when the car came over, he accidentally fell to the ground, and his palm was scrapped.

Mother fuckin’, this was a fake car accident, right?

The two expatriate reporters exchanged looks, and smartly took photos of Shen Yu’s medical case. Then sent it to FlyNews.com as soon as possible.

The concept of FlyNews.com was instant communication. That is, many netizens could share the fastest and freshest information in the earliest time possible.

For example, when netizens saw the video uploaded by Assistant Jiang in the afternoon, they were indignant to help Tao Mu to denounce the Shen sibling duo. Within two hours, the news of Shen Yu’s car accident spread online again. So the brain-dead fans of Shen Yu, who were scolded so badly earlier, could finally come out and turn black into white, trying their best to whitewash their little prince.

However, in another two hours, the photos and videos of Shen Yu chatting happily with people in the hospital were posted online again by FlyNews Entertainment reporters, with Shen Yu’s medical case attached.

The two FlyNews.com reporters were well aware of the essence of a good eye-catching headline. When filling in the title, the words “Suffering A Fright” were especially underlined and bolded. Looking at it in conjunction with Shen Yu’s medical case, it was indeed truly a case of suffering a fright. The hospital even certified it. There was nothing fishy about it at all.

But the key was that with the vague news of a car accident, the brain-dead fans couldn’t wait to press the heads of Tao Mu’s family and call them murderers. As a result, the medical identification showed that their idol just suffered a fright. The biggest wound on his body turned out to be a scratch on his palm, which was not even caused by being hit by someone else’s car but by himself falling down in fright.

——To put it in a nasty way, even those scam artists were more professional, right?

When the iron-clad evidence of the two expatriate reporters was uploaded to FlyNews.com again, all netizens only felt “slap, slap, slap” to the face, and once again enjoyed the fear of being dominated by a reversal. But this time, the netizens were especially angered.

Although they eat Tao Mu’s melons and as a result could often feel their IQ being conquered by others, and if they were not careful, they would be led by the nose, only to be slapped in the face by Tao Mu’s various reversals. Although their faces were swollen, they enjoyed the feeling of both being sore and refreshed. Because they were already accustomed to Tao Mu’s routine, even when they were eating melons, they were looking forward to the reversal, expecting to be slapped in the face. Especially masochistic.

But Shen Yu was different.

Different from Tao Mu’s shrewdness and high IQ that Tao Mu had always shown, when these netizens face Shen Yu, they subconsciously feel that their IQ must occupy the higher ground. Especially when they were arguing with Shen Yu’s brain-dead fans, they were all used to the stereotyped and repetitive rhetoric. So there was a sense of superiority. Even if they weren’t able to win against the brain-dead idiots, they could comfort themselves that they couldn’t wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

Except, now Shen Yu had also come up with a move to pull a reversal and slap them in the face, and it was through creating a fake car accident, leading netizens to accuse Tao Mu’s family of being too aggressive.

The netizens suddenly could no longer bear it. Especially those passers-by who really felt that although Shen Yu had flaws in terms of dealing with people, he definitely had a simple, kind and obedient personality. Immediately, they felt that Shen Yu’s image had collapsed.

For these mama fans, they didn’t care whether Shen Yu was smart/capable or not, or whether Shen Yu was dedicated/hard-working or not. Even if the Internet scolded Shen Yu for being unable to endure hardship by abusing the use of body doubles, they still thought that Shen Yu was a little prince and it was normal for a little prince to have the prince syndrome.

They could accept that the prince was stupid, but no one could accept that the little prince in their minds was not only stupid, but also a vicious drama king.

This was simply consuming their kindness!

The doting heart of a mama instantly shattered. Of course, there was still another part of the brain-dead and die-hard fans who maintained the principle of “I won’t hear it, I won’t believe it”, insisting that there must be a reason for this. Shen Yu was definitely not the kind of person who was stupid, vicious and bad.  Hey didn’t even believe that Shen Yu deliberately made a farce of a fake car accident, just to avoid responsibility.

There were even conspiracy theorists who thought that this must be fake news created by FlyNews Entertainment. After all, Tao Mu was the founder of FlyNews.com and the big boss of FlyNews Entertainment. The big boss was caught in a scandal, and the sycophants must naturally find a way to solve the problem for the boss. So all this must be because the reporters from FlyNews Entertainment deliberately poured dirty water on Shen Yu’s head.

The news uploaded by FlyNews.com did not necessarily mean the truth just because they included pictures, it was also possible that the pictures were taken misleadingly.

However, this kind of desperate rebuttal soon became untenable as the two reporters found Shen Yu’s attending physician and the perpetrator for interviews.

Of course, no matter what the netizens thought about this. Tao Mu, who was still in the center of the vortex, didn’t know anything about this at all.

After the filming of that day’s scenes, Tao Mu returned to the hotel with Li Xiaoheng and his family members, and hesitantly explained the existence of Shen Yu’s protagonist halo and the plot halo. Of course, in order not to reveal the secret of his rebirth, Tao Mu didn’t say it that specifically. Just mentioned that Shen Yu was very lucky, and every time he encountered something, he could always turn bad luck into good luck. And every time he had been in contact with people for a long period of time, it would always affect the people around him to like him inexplicably, or to hate him even more, causing them to act with low IQ. The most important thing was that people who hated him or targeted him, even if they acted rationally, would eventually become unreasonable people inexplicably.

He took himself and the actor Yan Sheng as examples, trying to convince his family that this was true, not his imagination.

Li Xiaoheng still remembered that when Tao Mu first came to Hong Kong, something was really wrong for a while. He also dragged him everywhere to pray to gods and worship Buddha, and now he was copying Buddhist scriptures and Daoist mantras, and even carried his photo around to ward off evil spirits. After making contact again this time, Liu Yao, Meng Qi, and Mr. Song accused Shen Yu of being unkind. As a result, Shen Yu ran out crying and had a car accident. Sure enough, the public opinion reversed, and the three men became the unreasonable ones.

“I tried several times. It’s better when I’m not targeting him. Every time I’m targeting him, especially when he’s at a disadvantage, something inexplicably happens to him that would benefit him. In the end, even if I’m in the right, I will become the one who is aggressive and harassing.”

When Tao Mu said this, he couldn’t help but think of various experiences in his previous life and felt any interest waning: “I don’t care about it myself. I’m used to it anyway. I just hope you don’t pay him any attention in the future. I don’t want you all to be entangled in this kind of bad luck because of me.”

Tao Mu’s words were firm and logical. And looking at it with what happened before, at first glance, it did make some sense.

But Liu Yao disagreed: “How could it be as mysterious as you said? Right and wrong, black and white, they must always have a reason. Instead of deciding who is more reasonable based on who is weak. Even if someone believes that the weak are more reasonable, it is a fallacy. You don’t need to bother with this type of person. They can’t even figure it out for themselves, and yet they want to fight the lawsuit for others. Do they even have the head for it?”

“Ah Yao is right.” Meng Qi nodded and echoed Liu Yao’s words: “We must do things with integrity. We don’t take the initiative to bully others, but neither do we let ourselves be bullied. Since Shen Yu dared to have his sister scold you, we dared to scold him back. Don’t say that he ran out crying because of this and got into a car accident. Even if he is killed it is the perpetrator who is the one legally responsible. It also depends on whether Shen Yu obeyed the traffic rules at that time, right? Did he not see the car and just rushed out on his own? Or could it be that just because he is mentally fragile and can’t listen to others trying to reason with him, we have to suffer grievances and endure his sister’s scolding? There is no such thing in the world. “

“Isn’t that the truth?” Mt. Song snorted: “Even if he is the emperor, there are still imperial censors to scold him in court. Could it be that this Shen Yu is more noble than the emperor and only he is allowed to scheme and stir up trouble, while we are not even allowed to reason with him?”

“I also read those remarks on the Internet. Some people can’t tell what is right or wrong and are just unreasonable. You don’t need to pay attention to this kind of person. Standing and talking won’t hurt one’s back after all. What did that comedian say, you have to put a distance between yourselves when you meet this kind of person. Lest lightning strike him one day, and then jump to you as well.”

He frowned and looked at Tao Mu: “Don’t be so wishy washy. I remember that you used to be a decisive kid. Why are you so hesitant and timid now? You don’t dare to talk back when they scold you, and you even have to think about whether they are happy or not. How come I didn’t know that you have such self-restraint?”

“That’s right!” Liu Yao nodded in agreement: “Not at all like the cub I raised.”

Liu Yao always believed that if he came across those who dared to take the initiative to provoke them and were unable to be reasoned with, the way to go was to face it head-on and hit back ruthlessly. Let the other side know what toughness was, and only then could they restrain themselves next time. Otherwise, they would always think that you were easy to bully and would come to provoke you every three days.

“You’re just too tolerant of that Shen Yu. If you dealt with him like you did with the Yao family, this kid’s balls would have shriveled up long ago. If nothing else, at least when he sees you he would know to keep his distance.” Liu Yao had also been in the streets before, and his eyes were very sharp. He had already seen that Shen Yu was just a bully who picked on the weak, and his courage was estimated to be only the size of a grain of rice. If Tao Mu had shown his vicious side earlier, this kid would have been scared away a long time ago.

Tao Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn’t know how to explain to his Yao Dad, Xiao Qi Dad, and Grandpa Song, how could it be so simple when it came to the plot halo and protagonist’s halo!

Tao Mu thought of this, and subconsciously looked at Li Xiaoheng, who had not spoken much. He was now relying on this bigwig’s ability to ward off evil spirits, narrowly avoiding the influence of the plot halo, and barely able to maintain a life like this.

On the other side, noticing Tao Mu’s complicated eyes, Mr. Li, who had been swiping through FlyNews.com, let out a chuckle. Turning the computer screen to Tao Mu, he tapped on the freshly released gossip news and said warmly, “Maybe what you said makes sense. But even if Shen Yu has a halo of luck, and he could always turn bad luck into good, when it comes to you, it doesn’t seem to work all that effectively. You have to believe that you are his halo’s nemesis.”

Otherwise, how should it be explained? Every time Shen Yu encountered Tao Mu, no matter how hard he jumped around, he would only end up in bad luck or worse.

Tao Mu was stunned when he saw the latest gossip news released by FlyNews.com.

How come? This had never happened in his previous life? Obviously, the plot halo had been working hard to follow the plot, and he was also sure that the key events of the plot all came about. Moreover, in the previous life, Shen Yu was only slightly scratched and frightened, and did not even delay the filming. But people didn’t think of the fake car accident conspiracy theory back then and he still had to take the blame for this, and even endured the constant scolding from Shen Yu’s fans and netizens?

In a flash of insight, Tao Mu suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at Li Xiaoheng.

Maybe Li Xiaoheng was right. The reason why everything went wrong in Shen Yu’s life may indeed be because some special person had weakened the influence of the plot halo. But even if the plot halo has a nemesis, that nemesis was not him, Tao Mu.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Li Xiaoheng’s eyes flickered. He didn’t know what Tao Mu was thinking, his eyes were too bright and his expression was too excited. It made him look even more delectable. However, in front of several elders, Li Xiaoheng did not dare to act recklessly, even if he was eager to make a move.

“It’s nothing.” Tao Mu smiled relievedly. Like all the dark clouds were swept away to reveal a clear sky: “I just feel that it is my greatest luck to meet you in this life.”

Words of love that hit them over the head unguarded. The three elders immediately clutched at their chests and their congested hearts.

Handing out dog food without even a heads up or something. Made one really want to kick over something. They were clearly just talking about business, what was this now!

“I’m tired, I have to go rest.” Meng Qi stood up expressionlessly. Liu Yao followed closely.

Mr. Song also left silently.

Tao Mu saw the three elders out of the room in a bit of a confused daze. Just as he was about to turn his head to talk to Li Xiaoheng, Li Xiaoheng eagerly closed the door and then pushed him back on the door panel.

It was time for today’s kissing practice again. The duration to be an hour, starting now.

At the same time, the Shen family’s father and son pair also arrived in Hong Kong, came to the hospital, and saw Shen Yu who was chatting with a certain old lady in the garden.

Unlike Shen Yu, who was a Silly White Sweet and acted without considering the consequences, the father and son pair of the Shen family immediately thought of the news of the so-called car accident and the possible follow-up reactions of netizens when they saw Shen Yu.

“Didn’t you have a car accident?” Shen Chen sullenly suppressed the irritability in his heart: “Since you are injured, why aren’t you lying down in a hospital bed.” This guy who only knew how to do it halfway!

Shen Yu was taken to the hospital in the afternoon, and then saw his father and brother before it even got dark. Naturally, he was very happy.

And Shen Yu really had no intention of putting up an act. He immediately retorted: “But I’m not injured?”

Shen Yu blinked a pair of big doe-like eyes, and said innocently: “I was just a little frightened. The doctor said that it would be fine to observe in the hospital for two days. I can be discharged if everything is fine.”

When the father and son pair of the Shen family heard these words, a mouthful of blood got stuck in their throats: “Since you were not injured, why didn’t you publish your situation online. Do you know what’s going on on the Internet? It made me and your older brother put aside the company’s affairs to come over. Do you know how worried we were?”

Shen Yu was stunned: “What happened on the Internet? Aren’t they all scolding me? I didn’t want to see them scold me, so I stopped going online.” He didn’t want to abuse himself, so why would he read those mean words?

Shen Chen’s face suddenly changed. He immediately took out his mobile phone and clicked on FlyNews.com——but it was too late, because of FlyNews Entertainment’s revelations, now the conspiracy theory that Shen Yu faked a car accident, deliberately shed the responsibility, and led netizens by the nose to accuse Mr. Tao’s family of being aggressive had spread.

“Do you have any brains at all!” Father Shen looked at Shen Yu, this waste of space that was even more of a failure than a failure. For the first time, he felt that their Shen family really didn’t need to spend so much effort on this waste.

“Dad?” Shen Yu, who had never had a harsh word uttered his way by his family, was immediately stunned. He didn’t understand why his father was so angry: “What’s the matter?”

Before Chairman Shen could speak, Shen Chen’s cell phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Director Xu. Director Xu also saw the news on the Internet. Towards Shen Yu who lacked acting skills, but had a huge case of prince syndrome, and was also very full of drama outside of filming, he had already reached the limit of his tolerance. Especially after Shen Yu frequently broke out various scandals during filming, so even if jist for the sake of the script, he couldn’t bear it anymore.

——When Shen Yu was still a Silly White Sweet, even if he had prince syndrome and his acting skills were not good, Xu Musen could at least persuade himself, or to be more precise, to hypnotize himself, that Shen Yu could just act himself. But looking at Shen Yu’s image now, it had almost become synonymous with ‘scheming b*tch’. His acting skills were not good but if Director Xu said that Shen Yu was cast as Yan Yu because his character matched his film role’s, wasn’t that an utter joke?

Call it his insistence on the artistry of the script! Call it his willfulness as a director! He couldn’t take it anymore! He must replace Shen Yu’s role!

Shen Chen hung up the phone and looked at Shen Yu with deep eyes: “The call just now was from Director Xu. He suggested to me that since you received a fright from the car accident, you should rest in the hospital. As for the role of Yan Yu, he will find someone else to replace you.”

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment: “But I’m obviously fine——”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“You are not!” Shen Chen interrupted Shen Yu’s words: “Didn’t the doctor say that you received a fright? Then you can stay in the hospital to recuperate. After recuperating, fly back to Shanghai.”

One should at least keep a piece of cloth to cover one’s modesty. Otherwise, there will be no face left for their Shen family, let alone Shen Yu.

TN: bonus chapter!💕

“What the hell! This young master of the Shen family is really…..” Du Ze, who had just finished filming a scene with Tao Mu, came over with a boxed lunch. He shook his head and sighed: “But it’s true, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want. We rely on filming to make a living and support our families. While others are just doing it for fun. If they are not happy, they can just run out and let themselves be chased. Does he think he is shooting a Taiwanese idol drama?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Tao Mu turned around and saw that Du Ze was holding the lunch box and eating it very deliciously: “Didn’t you eat already just now?”

“I’m hungry again after filming a while. It just so happens that there is still a box of lunch left.” Du Ze asked Tao Mu while eating, “You just ate half a box of lunch, are you full? Do you want another box?”

“No need.” Although Tao Mu was a little hungry, with his particular eating habits, he was determined not to eat cold barbecued pork rice.

Li Xiaoheng said by his side: “I just asked my assistant to order takeout. Consider it a bonus meal for everyone.”

Du Ze shrugged his shoulders with a look of realization on his face, winked at Tao Mu, and said with a teasing smile, “I understand. You have someone to cherish you. It’s different from us single dogs. Ai.”

As Du Ze spoke, he shook his head and sighed while putting away the lunch box.

Tao Mu smiled: “You aren’t eating it?”

“I’m not stupid.” Du Ze grinned at Tao Mu: “Of course, if there is a bonus meal, I must eat the bonus meal instead. Who doesn’t know that Mr. Li is always generous. The takeout he ordered must be very luxurious.”

Du Ze guessed correctly. Li Xiaoheng really asked Assistant Jiang to order takeout from the most famous restaurant in Hong Kong.

Shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, pork ribs, roast pigeon, rice noodle rolls, roast duck rice, as well as Hong Kong style milk tea, sago soup, mango pancake, egg tarts, pineapple buns and other snacks for dessert, making sure that those who didn’t eat fully enough to be able to fill their stomachs, and for those who did eat fully, to have desserts and refreshments.

The crew members who were dragged down by Shen Yu and missed their lunch, on top of being forced to watch Shen Yan act arrogantly around the crew, had really accumulated a lot of grievances in their hearts. Now Li Xiaoheng asked Assistant Jiang to order takeout for everyone. Although it didn’t cost much, the sweet and warm refreshments really soothed everyone’s stomach and calmed everyone’s nerves.

Like the saying, ‘after you gain benefit from someone, you will have to return the favor to that person’, many people subconsciously had a more favorable impression of Tao Mu.

Among them, Du Ze was the happiest. Because he was going to get a box lunch at the next scene. (TN: get a box lunch=slang for dying in a film/drama)

Director Xu held a plate of hot roast duck rice with fragrant roast pigeon, and discussed the next scenes with Tao Mu and Du Ze while eating.

The next scene was when Zhou Yuanting rushed into Causeway Bay in a fit of anger, and was discovered by the rival gang, and the two sides fought violently. However, no matter how strong Zhou Yuanting was, his two fists were no match for four. At the critical moment, Ah Ze arrived with his group of subordinates and rescued Zhou Yuanting. But as a result, he died in the melee.

Before he died, he comforted Zhou Yuanting that there was no turning back for those who got involved in gangs, and everyone died sooner or later. It was just that he didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. He asked Zhou Yuanting if he really liked the eldest sister-in-law, and said that she was really beautiful. He also envied Zhou Yuanting for being handsome, and that many girls chased after him. If there was a next life, he also hoped to be so handsome.

In the script setting, if Zhou Yuanting’s discovery of the relationship between Yan Qi and Yan Yu was the trigger for his going dark, then Ah Ze’s death further fueled Zhou Yuanting’s ambition to climb up. Even if he was a gangster, he didn’t want to be like Ah Ze, risking his life every day out on the streets, only to get a little bit of money afterwards. Most of the earnings were taken by the higher ups and the elders.

Zhou Yuanting returned to the bar after Ah Ze died. The big boss directly allocated the place Ah Ze was in charge of to him. Then Zhou Yuanting slept with the eldest sister-in-law in the bar. And after this, there was really no turning back.

“Tomorrow we’re going to be filming an action scene. We need to cordon off the streets ahead of time, and we have to pay greetings to the gangs in Causeway Bay as well. I am not worried about Ah Ze.” Director Xu rambled while eating: “But Tao Mu, are you ready? Do you want to discuss it with the instructor and stunts coordinator in advance?”

According to Tao Mu’s role settings. Before Zhou Yuanting went dark, even during gang fights he only used the fighting skills taught him by the police academy. But after he turned dark, Zhou Yuanting’s fighting moves became more and more ruthless. From fighting skills to killing moves, every knife fight drew blood, every knife fight deadly. So tomorrow’s scene was very important. Because it was necessary to reflect Zhou Yuanting’s inner changes through his martial arts movements.

Director Xu was worried that Tao Mu would not be able to perform that kind of transformation when he was filming this kind of action scene for the first time.

“Tao Mu? Tao Mu?”

“Huh?” Tao Mu came back to his senses. He said apologetically, “Sorry, I was a little distracted just now.”

Tao Mu was really lost in his thoughts for awhile there. Because listening to Director Xu mentioning the Causeway Bay gangs, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yu also attracted two admirers during filming in his previous life. One was rich son from the Lin family in Hong Kong, and the other was the illegitimate son of a gang leader in Hong Kong. He was also the ‘white paper fan’ of the gang. (TN: refers to the position in Hong Kong mafia gangs that manages financial affairs)

Calculating the timeline, in the previous life, Shen Yu and the white paper fan met almost around this time. At that time, Shen Yu was harassed by Tao Mu in every possible way, and Yan Sheng also accused him of inattentiveness in acting, so he ran out of the crew hurt and sad. Because he was crying, he didn’t pay attention to the road, and was hit by the car belonging to the white paper fan. The white paper fan sent Shen Yu to the hospital, and on the way became attracted by the innocent and unpretentious little white lotus. Then, while Shen Yu was recovering from his injuries in the hospital, he met the old madam of the Lin family who also came to the hospital to recover from an illness. Because of his naive and soft-tempered personality, he gained the affection of the old madam, and attracted the attention of the rich son of the Lin family who often came to visit his grandmother.

It turned out that the plot halo was at it again!

Tao Mu touched his chin as he recalled. No wonder Shen Yu ran away from the studio again inexplicably. Sure enough, the pot still had to be carried on his back.

Tao Mu pondered to himself. On FlyNews.com, the candid video uploaded by Assistant Jiang also attracted the attention of the majority of netizens who eat melons.

The most annoying thing in the video was of course the gold medal winning brat Shen Yan. The moment her arrogant and domineering face appeared, a lot of netizens, especially Tao Mu’s fans, hated her to the point of swiping the screen. In less than two hours, Shen Yan’s FlyNews homepage was overrun by netizens who eat melons.

The little prince Shen Yu, who had always been immune to all kinds of turmoil and public opinion, didn’t get away from it this time. There was no other reason but because of Tao Mu’s Dads and Grandpa Song’s powerful oratory skills. Such that many netizens began to see clearly the true essence of Shen Yu’s own greed and vanity, and habit of blaming others (mainly Tao Mu) while putting himself on the moral high ground.

The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable. Fans who have always believed that Shen Yu was kind and noble could not find any evidence to prove that Tao Mu’s family’s accusations were wrong, so they could only insist in vain that Shen Yu was definitely not that kind of person. He was not greedy or vain, he was just reluctant to give up the people he thought of as family for 19 years. They also tried to convince netizens by asking them to view it from Shen Yu’s standpoint and what would they have done if they were in his shoes. Could it be that after being raised by your adoptive parents for 19 years, and then finding out that you were not actually biologically related, could you cruelly leave your adoptive parents, cut off the relationship and never communicate again?

If the Shen family didn’t have that much money, and was not a wealthy family in Shanghai. But just an ordinary family or even a poor family. If Shen Yu still insisted on treating the Shen family as his own family, would netizens not have so many malicious speculations and malicious accusations? The essence of the matter was the same, why was it just because the Shen family was rich, people maliciously speculated on the nature of Shen Yu’s kindness?

As for Liu Yao’s accusation that Shen Yu allowed his sister to hurt people with vicious words. Shen Yu’s fans also explained that Shen Yu was soft and weak by nature and never liked to argue with outsiders. Even after being so maliciously speculated by Mr. Song and Liu Yao, he just cried out of grievance, and didn’t try to talk back to his elders. Why must people force Shen Yu to refute Shen Yan’s words?

Shen Yu was Shen Yu, and Shen Yan was Shen Yan. If Shen Yu didn’t refute the accusations of Liu Yao and Mr. Song, he was polite, and if he didn’t refute Shen Yan’s words, he was vicious. Wasn’t having different requirements and standards for the same thing too much of a double standard?

However, even if Shen Yu’s fans tapped the keyboard fiercely and explained passionately on the Internet, many netizens and passers-by still felt that Shen Yu’s personality was incomprehensible. The news of Shen Yu’s abuse of using doubles during filming had lost him a wave of goodwill, and now he was accused of lacking empathy. These netizens who eat melons were alright, but the first ones who couldn’t stand it were the parents who left their DNA in the Lost Children’s Gene Bank.

These parents who have lost their children for various reasons and spent most of their lives looking for their children, they truly did see the Lost Children’s Gene Bank as the only hope to find their children. And under such a mindset, they also superimposed their hopes on the spokesperson of the Lost Children’s Gene Bank and saw him as their own child. They hoped that their children could meet a kind family like the Shen family after they had gone missing and that their children could also be treated like Shen Yu had been.

But they couldn’t imagine their children becoming like Shen Yu. In the eyes of all parents, their children were the best in the world. They were willing to attribute all the noble qualities and virtues to their children. Even if they clearly knew that these could only be fantasies. In truth, it was very possible that after their children were lost, they were likely to be infected with bad habits because of a hard life and difficult childhood conditions. Maybe they were even no longer a part of this world.

But they always have to hold some illusions in order to make it through life.

When Shen Yu was the promotion ambassador of the Lost Children’s Gene Bank, he didn’t do much proper business, while negative news broke out one after another. These parents have long been dissatisfied. Now there was a lot of indignation on the Internet, and these parents even signed a joint letter, imploring the Shen Group to replace Shen Yu as the spokesperson. Even if you really want to find a celebrity for promotion and endorsement, you must at least find a celebrity with a good image and no negative news.

The trouble that Shen Yan and Shen Yu caused once again affected the business plan of the Shen Group. The Shen family father and son pair were simply speechless. Sure enough, children were born to collect debts from you. Especially those with stupid brains, there were literally no end in how they dug pits for their father and older brother.

In a fit of anger, the Shen family father and son pair flew to Hong Kong in person, wanting to bring Shen Yan back and educate her well. As for Shen Yu and his confused brain, he must also be given a hard reminder. When filming, just film well and stop stirring up so many other things.

However, as soon as the Shen family father and son pair arrived in Hong Kong, they got a piece of news——Shen Yu had a car accident.

Because he was accused by Liu Yao and Mr. Song, he ran out of the studio hurt and sad. In a daze, he could not see the road clearly and was hit by a car.

Seeing this, the Shen family father and son pair could only rush to the hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital, they found that Shen Yu did not stay in his ward obediently, but was sitting in the garden chatting with an old lady. The old lady’s demeanor was graceful and elegant, and at first glance, one could tell she was of high birth.

When the father and son pair of the Shen family found out that the old lady was actually the old madam of the extremely rich Lin family of Hong Kong, they were speechless.

And on FlyNews.com, the brain-dead fans who learned that Shen Yu had a car accident finally had something to say. They ran to Tao Mu, Liu Yao, Meng Qi, and Mr. Song’s FlyNews to write comments, accusing them of being unkind, actually forcing Shen Yu into a car accident.

“If Shen Yu really died in a car accident because of this incident, you are the murderers.”

“What do you guys want? Even if Shen Yu didn’t stop Shen Yan in time, he had already paid the price. Do you really want to kill a nineteen-year-old child?”

“It’s shameless for three grown men to besiege a child.”

“Tao Mu was just scolded, but our Shen Yu got into a car accident and almost lost his life. Isn’t that enough?”

Probably because the timing of Shen Yu’s car accident was too appropriate. The netizens who were originally infuriated suddenly fell silent. Even if Shen Yu’s words and deeds were indescribable, the Chinese people’s perception was that human life was greater than the sky. In the face of a life, any mistakes were forgivable.

What was more, it wasn’t a big mistake that Shen Yu had committed. It was just that he couldn’t stop others from scolding Tao Mu, and his character was unfortunately under a prince syndrome. In the final analysis, it wasn’t that Shen Yu personally talked bad about Tao Mu. On the contrary, it was Tao Mu’s family who gave Shen Yu a scolding.

In the face of the car accident, the three men, who originally represented the side of justice, also left an aggressive impression because their words were too sharp. Just as Shen Yu’s fans said, it was too shameless for three grown men to force a nineteen-year-old child. Even Mr. Song, who had always had a good image, had some fans turning into antis. They ran to the official FlyNews of Mr. Song and Song Ji to leave comments, expressing their disappointment.

In the crew, Li Xiaoheng, who was swiping through FlyNews.com, was expressionless, but his unhappy mood was undoubtedly clear to all with eyes.

Tao Mu touched Li Xiaoheng’s head comfortingly, but he was already mentally prepared. He just didn’t expect that under the counterattack of the plot halo, these people who stood up for him would take the blame again. This made him feel very sorry for his Yao Dad, Xiao Qi Dad, Grandpa Song, and their Boss Li who tried everything to help him out.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Sure enough, the more they tried to suppress, the more powerful the counterattack?

Tao Mu stroked his chin thoughtfully. Thinking about whether to disclose some information to Li Xiaoheng and his family, lest their Boss Li and others always attack Shen Yu unprepared, and then suffer inexplicably.

“Cut!”

Finally, there was a scene that took only one take. Satisfied, Director Xu stroked his hungry stomach and asked the assistant to prepare the meal. Even in the scorching summer, the lunch box would have already cooled after such a long delay. The originally delicious char siew rice was now oily and greasy. However, Director Xu and the group of lighting techs and cameramen still devoured the food, eating especially deliciously.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In contrast, Shen Yu had no appetite. Even if he got off the set early, he didn’t have the heart to eat lunch. Holding the lunch box and picking at the rice, he looked unhappy.

Yan Sheng and Shen Yan gathered around Shen Yu, coaxing him to eat. Shen Yu grimaced and cried aggrievedly: “I’m really useless. I can’t act well, so the whole crew has to accompany me in NG-ing. How can I have the face to eat.”

Shen Yan comforted him: “So what if your acting is not good. Anyway, we don’t rely on acting to make a living. You can just act casually. Why are you so serious and making yourself unhappy?”

Shen Yan only focused on comforting Shen Yu, but didn’t notice it at all how her remarks attracted the attention of everyone in the crew.

Yan Sheng didn’t agree with Shen Yan’s words, but he also didn’t want to deepen the grudge against Shen Yu from the crew members. He couldn’t help interrupting Shen Yan’s brand of comfort: “Xiao Yu, don’t be too anxious. You have only been in the entertainment industry for such a short time, and you haven’t acted in many films either, so naturally you have had no chance to hone your acting skills. I don’t think you need to compare yourself with others. Just ponder the script and figure out your role. Find out the similarities between you and Yan Yu. I believe that as long as you play yourself, you can interpret this role very well. Don’t worry, I will keep you company.”

“I think what Yan Sheng said was very reasonable.” Shen Yan rubbed Shen Yu’s head and comforted: “How old are you, how long have you been in the entertainment industry, and you have barely even made many idol dramas. Why treat yourself so harshly, insisting on comparing yourself against those film kings who have decades of acting experience.”

“But Tao Mu hasn’t acted in many films either. He doesn’t even have as much experience in filming as I do. But he can play the role of Zhou Yuanting so well.” Shen Yu felt so bad his mouth curved downwards: “I just think I’m so bad.”

“No way.” Before Yan Sheng could speak, Shen Yan hugged Shen Yu distressedly, and explained loudly, “You are not bad at all. The reason why you are not good at acting is just because you are simple in nature and has not fully seen the world. Just like a blank piece of paper, you have not experienced society’s taint, naturally you have no way to act convincingly. Unlike some people, who grew up in an orphanage and have been out in society at a young age and has long been accustomed to acting and talking like all kinds of people. With such deep scheming and shrewdness, naturally, they have many faces. Moreover, in this role, they are acting true to character. So of course, it would end up as a good performance.”

“Ai, I say, this little miss, just talk if you want to talk, don’t always make insinuations, okay?”

Liu Yao and the others were standing on the other side of the studio, and they didn’t want to pay attention to these people. However, if someone deliberately started sh*t, getting their Tao Mu involved. Naturally, the most blindly protective of the three family members could not ignore it. Old Mr. Song reasoned with the Shen family with his hands behind his back: “Your little brother’s acting skills are not good, and he is always a hindrance to the crew. You should find a way to improve his acting skills instead of criticizing our family’s Tao Mu for being shrewd and having a bad character. That you can say such words only prove that you are small-minded and jealous of the virtuous. Our Tao Mu acted well, that is all due to Tao Mu’s ability. Even if he has deep scheming and shrewdness, it does not harm others. At least unlike some people, under the guise of being innocent, kind, and straightforward, I don’t see him do much serious business, and instead only see him go around causing trouble to others.”

“How can you talk like that, old man?” Shen Yan stood up angrily: “I’m talking to my little brother, why are you butting in?”

“You speak ill of my grandson, it’s not like I can ignore it.” Mr. Song was replied slowly and calmly.

“How funny, did I mention any names? You keep saying you are standing up for your grandson, who is your grandson?” Shen Yan sneered, and her words were even more scathing and unkind: “Besides, what I said is not wrong. Some people are just very scheming, and especially know how to be grandsons to others. This is nothing really, but they already went and found a grandfather to support them first. Freely being someone else’s grandson, just calling a few “grandpa’s” and they could get the Song Ji brand name. Our Xiao Yu can’t compare with such a skill of bending and stretching.”

Director Xu just finished calling cut, and most of the crew were busy eating and taking a lunch break. The dispute between Shen Yan and Mr. Song immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Hearing Shen Yan’s mean words, someone immediately stood up to speak justice.

“Isn’t Miss Shen going too far to say something like this?” Fang Ruoti, who had always been upright in the circle, especially dared to speak her mind. She took off her sunglasses impatiently: “Tao Mu’s acting skills are better than Shen Yu’s, this is what anyone with eyes can see. It’s also a fact that Young Master Shen’s poor acting skills are a drag on the crew. Young Master Shen doesn’t rely on acting to support his living. But we people still want to make a good movie. Since Miss Shen is so noble, why don’t you take your little brother back and let him stay at home every day and be his young master of the Shen family?”

“Who kind of thing are you?” Shen Yan looked at the beautiful Fang Ruoti, and sneered unceremoniously: “You’re just an actress that sells sex appeal in movies. What qualifications do you have to talk to me?”

Fang Ruoti was almost angered into laughter: “Then what kind of thing are you, Miss Shen?”

Before Shen Yan could explode, Fang Ruoti sneered and scolded: “You’re just a nouveau riche from the mainland. Do you really think that the power of your Shen family can cover the sky with only one hand? This is Hong Kong, not Shanghai. I suggest that Miss Shen think about it first before you speak.”

Hearing Fang Ruoti say this, Yan Sheng’s face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, Zhuo Yan, who had been standing by the side with cold observant eyes, stood up first: “Miss Fang is right, you acted too uneducated.”

Zhuo Yan frowned, subconsciously looking at Tao Mu, who had just walked out of the set and was watching the farce coldly: “Shen Yu’s poor acting skills are his own business. Since he chooses to be an actor, he should hone his acting skills. Instead of every time when filming a movie, he drags the crew down, and then lets his family criticize his colleagues who are good actors.”

Shen Yan was furious: “Zhuo Yan, which side are you on?”

“I don’t stand on either side. I’m just telling the truth.” Zhuo Yan said indifferently: “You should apologize to CEO Tao. You should also apologize to Miss Fang. It was you who hurt people first with your malocious words.”

Shen Yan glared at Zhuo Yan hatefully. Of course she was not willing to apologize. She lifted her chin and said, “I’m not wrong. But you are quite good at being tender to fragrance and jade. It’s a pity that no one appreciates it.”

Fang Ruoti sneered, looked at Zhuo Yan deliberately and asked: “I think you are a man who can tell right from wrong, and you are also quite handsome. How did you end up with this kind of shrew?”

“What did you say?” Shen Yan turned to look at Fang Ruoti: “Don’t try to sow discord.”

“I don’t think this Miss Fang is trying to sow discord.” Meng Qi smiled at Fang Ruoti. At this elegance and sexiness of a mature man, even a great beauty who had seen countless people couldn’t help but be moved. She now seemed to understand just where Tao Mu’s small tricks to seduce people come from.

It really was a deep family education.

Meng Qi didn’t pick up on Fang Ruoti’s fantasies. He walked to Tao Mu’s side, couldn’t help but hugged his precious son distressedly, and said warmly, “With Miss Shen’s upbringing and family education, don’t mention this Mr. Zhuo, even if it is any other man being with you, if it’s not for the sake of money, then they must definitely be suffering a grievance.”

“Also, just now, Miss Shen said that my son iz very good at finding a grandfather for himself, and your little young master Shen cannot compare. But I don’t think so, in fact it is quite the contrary. I think that your little young master Shen is even more capable than my son in this regard.”

“That’s the truth.” Mr. Song picked up the topic, patted Tao Mu’s back, and analyzed slowly, “Although this grandson of mine only recognized me as grandfather halfway through, he was already apprenticing in Song Ji. Miss Shen probably doesn’t understand the rules of our profession. Logically speaking, since Tao Mu learned to cook under me, I recognized him as this generation’s direct disciple of our Song Ji. Back then, for the sake of Song Ji he went and got justice from the Yao family, contributing much energy and effort. Later, he also helped Song Ji build a culinary school. It can be said that the most important reason why I passed Song Ji’s brand to Tao Mu was not that he recognized me as grandfather but because of his efforts that really brought hope for Song Ji’s inheritance and development.”

“In comparison, your little brother is not as simple as he seems. He is clearly not the biological son of the Shen family, but he can contently enjoy the treatment of the Shen family’s children. With the support of the Shen family, he doesn’t have to go out to make a living, so no matter what he does he is unwilling to work hard. Of course, as the sister, you are not so ordinary yourself. You could replace your own little brother with your own hands, and even managed to keep it from your family for 19 years. I have to say that the two of you might not be related biologically but you are definitely siblings.”

When Shen Yu, who had not said a word this whole time, heard these words, his face turned pale. His body began swaying, as if he couldn’t hold up against such vicious words.

“This old grandfather, why are you like this?” Shen Yu looked at the Mr. Song with tears in his eyes: “I have never offended you, how could you speculate on me so viciously? I’m not, I’m not like that.”

“Whatever you are it has nothing to do with our family.” If there’s going to be a fight, all family members must do it together! Liu Yao patted Tao Mu’s shoulder hard, looking like a protective mother hen. He was not at all afraid of outsiders saying that they were bullying others with more numbers: “As the old saying goes, don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to yourself. Since you know how bad it feels to be speculated on maliciously, don’t let your sister maliciously speculate on others. Aren’t you pure and kind? If you don’t even have this bit of empathy at all, then just how are you pure and kind?”

Shen Yu couldn’t say a word in response to Liu Yao’s choke inducing assessment. He just felt embarrassed and a loss of face. Covering his face and sobbing, he ran out of the studio.

Yan Sheng looked at everyone with a conflicted expression, then looked at the direction that Shen Yu ran away, and finally worriedly followed.

Shen Yan was worried about her little brother, and she couldn’t say anything to refute Mr. Song and Liu Yao, so she also left in a huff.

Zhuo Yan glanced at Yao Wenxiao who had not said a word from beginning to end, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you going to run after him?”

Wasn’t this guy here to make up for Shen Yu’s birthday? It seemed that he should be particularly concerned about Shen Yu. So why didn’t he say anything when Shen Yu was verbally choked just now, and now Shen Yu even ran off, yet he still didn’t move. Instead, he was just staring at Tao Mu with a complicated expression?

Yao Wenxiao’s heart was indeed feeling really complicated. He hadn’t seen Shen Yu for half a year. For half a year, while he was struggling to solve his own troubles, he thought about Shen Yu in his heart. Originally, he thought that this time he came to Hong Kong to visit Shen Yu on set, that Shen Yu would definitely be very happy.

But the result was that Shen Yu didn’t react as he expected. His mind seemed to be all on Yan Sheng. Even this Zhuo Yan received more attention than him. Yao Wenxiao thought he would be very sad and hurt. However, he was stunned to discover that, with Shen Yu being repeatedly suppressed by Tao Mu on the set, Yao Wenxiao suddenly came to the terrifying conclusion that “Shen Yu may not be as good as he thought”.

Especially after Liu Yao pointed out that Shen Yu might not be so innocent and kind, Yao Wenxiao’s mood became more complicated. He couldn’t help thinking of what his grandfather had told him before he came.

The Shen family was naturally cold and selfish, and so was Shen Yu who was raised in the Shen family. In the past six months, Shen Yu had never contacted him out of his own volition. Yao Wenxiao could understand Shen Yu’s current situation. After his birth secret was exposed, he was driven out of the Shen family by Mrs. Shen, and his life was not going well. But Shen Yu clearly knew that after the Yao family fell, his, Yao Wenxiao’s, life was not any easier either. So why did he never give him a call to ask him how he was doing?

Thinking of this, the expression on Yao Wenxiao’s face became more and more ugly. He didn’t want to admit that Shen Yu, who he had liked for so many years, was actually such a person. But he couldn’t convince himself either. So Yao Wenxiao could only avoid it all. He left the set in a state of embarrassment and instead of looking for Shen Yu, he went straight to the airport.

“Are you alright?” Li Xiaoheng stuffed the freshly frozen mung bean paste soup into Tao Mu’s hand. When Mr. Song and Liu Yao were rebuking Shen Yan before, he didn’t say anything to help. However, he had Assistant Jiang film the scene of the dispute just now and uploaded it to FlyNews.com.

Especially the part where Liu Yao accused Shen Yu of being unkind. Li Xiaoheng was also very curious, how would the fans of Shen Yu, who always like to brainwash others of how their idol was especially kind and noble, explain these words.

——Don’t blame CEO Li for being petty and childish. It was really all because Shen Yu’s group of brain-dead fans were just too disgusting. When Xiaoheng Capital sued the netizens for spreading rumors about Tao Mu’s drug use, Shen Yu’s brain-dead fans were jumping around, crying that Li Xiaoheng and FlyNews.com were too ruthless, heartless, and unkind.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Li Xiaoheng was a busy man, so he didn’t bother to quibble with the mentally retarded who possessed brains that weren’t fully developed. But that didn’t mean that Li Xiaoheng didn’t hold grudges. There was no opportunity before but now that he found an opportunity, of course revenge must be taken. It would be even better if he could serve them their own medicine.

So when Assistant Jiang uploaded the video to FlyNews, CEO Li also reminded him that he must bold the word “unkind” in the video title.

This move was really…..too unkind!

Even if Director Xu called “cut” in person, the whole studio was still silent. Tao Mu also stood silently on the spot, his chest heaving fiercely, his expression still dark, obviously still too immersed in the scene and couldn’t pull out for a while.

Li Xiaoheng, who was standing on the edge of the set, looked at Tao Mu with extreme concern. Liu Yao looked relieved and proud. He felt that Tao Mu was indeed their little brat. Normally he was always smiling and easy to talk to, but when he exploded, he really had a bit of a frightening aura.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Everyone was silently preoccupied with their own emotions. After a long while, a small sob broke the silence of the studio. Everyone looked towards the sound, only to see Shen Yu standing there with tears in his eyes, which had turned red from the crying. He didn’t dare to cry loudly, and instead bit his lip and choked aggrievedly, obviously having been frightened.

Yan Sheng was the first to react. He stepped forward and gently embraced Shen Yu’s shoulders, soothing his back. Shen Yu hugged Yan Sheng’s waist fiercely and burst into tears.

This cry was like the breaking of a spell, and the others responded one after another. Shen Yan rushed in front of Tao Mu in anger, once again acting like a shrew regardless of the situation: “What are you doing? Acting is just acting, why are you frightening others. Can you take responsibility for frightening our Xiao Yu so badly? Speak, did you do that on purpose——”

“Piss off!” Tao Mu’s eyes were red, and his anger still hadn’t dissipated. When looking at Shen Yan, it seemed as if two sharp swords were being stabbed straight into Shen Yan’s chest.

Shen Yan only felt that her whole person had gone into shock, all the accusations and verbal abuses became stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say a word. Even her body couldn’t stop shaking.

Li Xiaoheng stepped forward with a solemn face, bypassed Shen Yan, and led Tao Mu directly back to the lounge chair to sit down. Unscrewing the thermos cup for him, which held cold mung bean soup: “Relieve the heat.”

Tao Mu silently raised his head and poured it down his throat. Negative emotions accumulated for a lifetime had hit him the moment he exploded. Like the continuous tide, wave upon wave, endlessly beating against the heart that he had thought had already long become cold as a rock.

Bloody white bone claws stretched out from the tumbling sea of ​​blood, grabbing Tao Mu’s body and dragging it down fiercely. Tao Mu didn’t want to struggle either, and instead allowed the negative emotions to sweep through his body.

Xu Musen sat in front of the monitor and replayed Tao Mu’s scene over and over again. Tao Mu’s acting skills were very good, which was the consensus of the entire crew. Being able to pit his acting skills against film kings and bring film queens into the scene, all the scenes he was in could be done with ease. It was no exaggeration to say that such an actor came with his own screen presence.

When he was acting against Shen Yu before, Tao Mu deliberately suppressed his performance in order to ensure the filming went smoothly. While trying to bring Shen Yu into the scene, he also tried his best not to cause too much pressure on Shen Yu. However, even so, Shen Yu was still affected. When speaking the lines, he stuttered and was out of breath, and his expressions and movements were even more mediocre.

Now that Tao Mu exploded on the spot, the momentary soaring momentum that resulted, even veteran actors like Yan Sheng and Wang Jinsheng could not guarantee that they would be able to hold their own, let alone a newcomer like Shen Yu. The overarching impact was also clear. The original scene, which was fairly well-matched, instantly turned into a blatant steamroll. Yan Yu, who was supposed to be a righteous character, couldn’t even utter a word under the pressure of Tao Mu’s acting skills. The lines used to expound justice before became pale and powerless under Shen Yu’s interpretation. The scene in the script where the black and white, evil and good, parties expound their ideas, was acted by Shen Yu as if he was the mistress who was caught in the act of cheating and could not hide his guilty conscience when facing the wife.

The motive behind ​​Yan Yu’s character could no longer stand anymore.

Xu Musen looked at the monitor with some regret. In fact, in the whole script, Yan Yu and Zhou Yuanting, Yan Qi and the mob boss Zhou Yanqing played, these four roles could also be said to be two pairs of foils, representing black and white respectively. Especially Yan Yu and Zhou Yuanting, although these two characters don’t make many appearances, their roles were very important. Because the role of the two male protagonists was to promote the development of the plot and maintain the conflict of the plot. Therefore, under the setting of the script, all kinds of falsehoods and subtle machinations were required. Black mixed with white, white mixed with black, it could no longer be differentiated.

But Yan Yu and Zhou Yuanting were different. Although the ages and roles of the two characters limit their development, they also perfectly guaranteed the purity of the two characters. One was pure white and one was pure black. Black and white were clearly incompatible. They were not allowed to mix into the slightest gray area, this was the difference of beliefs.

In the script setting, the role of Zhou Yuanting represented greed. Greed was the driving force of human progress. So Zhou Yuanting had performed very well since he was in the police academy. He trained hard and won first place in every assessment. He was the most admired student by the police officers in training. But at the same time, Zhou Yuanting was also eager to enjoy daring behavior, so he never took the school rules and disciplines to heart. On the eve of graduation, he even dared to skip classes to go clubbing, and even got into a fight with people. He was eventually expelled from the police academy.

Zhou Yuanting was not reconciled with the fact that his hard work would go down the drain. He was seduced by the high-ranking official position promised by the police and agreed to go undercover. However, in the process of being an undercover agent, Zhou Yuanting found that his efforts and gains were completely unequal. So he regretted it once again. Finding out the relationship between Yan Qi and Yan Yu was just a fuse that pushed him to go dark completely. The essential reason why Zhou Yuanting became corrupted was his greed. He held no ideals or beliefs in his heart. He only cared about whether his efforts could achieve higher rewards. As for whether the direction of effort was morally black or white, Zhou Yuanting didn’t care at all.

Compared with Zhou Yuanting, the role of Yan Yu represented absolute whiteness. He was inflexible, stubborn, and regarded the police as his only belief. He had been upright and honest all his life, attached great importance to love and righteousness, knew kindness and gratitude, was filial to his parents, and cared for his wife. So he refused to forgive his mafia brother. At the end of the script, Yan Yu resolutely decided to arrest Zhou Yuanting even after he knew that his brother was actually an undercover agent, and Zhou Yuanting replaced him as an undercover agent because of his brother’s doing. However, in the process of arresting, the police officer who was in the pockets of the mafia saw that Zhou Yuanting was about to be arrested and feared that Zhou Yuanting would reveal him so he tried to kill Zhou Yuanting first. As a result, Yan Yu blocked the bullet for Zhou Yuanting. Before dying, he only had time to utter a single apology to Zhou Yuanting.

Zhou Yuanting complained that Yan Yu took away his future and woman, and in the end Yan Yu gave Zhou Yuanting his life. He had always regarded Zhou Yuanting as his best brother. It was just that the two had different positions and different ideas, and they couldn’t convince each other at all.

It was a pity that as Yan Yu, Shen Yu’s acting skills were not good enough. He didn’t bring out the charm of the character at all. Therefore, it was always said that actors did not try roles that they could not fully control without some deep consideration. If the role was not convincing because of poor performance, not only would he be scolded, but the entire script might collapse.

Xu Musen scratched his head very irritably. Tao Mu’s on-the-spot explosive performance was so good that Xu Musen was reluctant to delete it and decided to keep it. Therefore, the focus of the next scenes was to polish the role of Yan Yu.

Director Xu asked Shen Yu to prepare, as the following scenes must be filmed well. He didn’t imagine that Shen Yu’s performance could be on par with Tao Mu’s, but it should at least be convincing. Even mediocre was fine!

However, Shen Yu was just frightened by Tao Mu’s explosion. During the scene, as soon as he saw Zhou Yuanting’s face, he thought of Tao Mu’s tyrannical performance earlier, and he was so frightened that he couldn’t even hold up to his previous performance.

After several NGs, not mentioning that Shen Yu’s brain was already tied up into knots, even the rest of the crew had headaches.

Director Xu glared at the monitor with a gloomy expression, wishing that he could glare Shen Yu’s acting skills into existence. Shen Yu knew that he was wrong, and curled up beside Yan Sheng and didn’t dare to look up. In his heart, he also secretly blamed himself for not being good enough.

However, this was actually not his fault. Even a talented actor needed a process to hone his acting skills. In the previous life, Shen Yu and Tao Mu joined the crew at the same time, and both of them were newcomers. In contrast, Shen Yu had a little more experience in filming than Tao Mu. He was also an actor appointed personally by Director Xu, who claimed that he could perfectly interpret the role by just being himself. In contrast, Tao Mu, a flower vase who forced himself into the crew through his family background and had little experience in filming, would naturally be rejected by the entire crew. Not to mention that during the filming, Yan Sheng was also deliberately suppressing Tao Mu both in and out of his scenes.

At that time, Shen Yu had the encouragement of the director, the tolerance of the entire crew, and the foiling of a colleague like Tao Mu. He was actively honing his acting skills every day, so his performance was naturally wonderful.

But in this life, Tao Mu’s acting skills were on cheat mode. He had professional training at a prestigious academy, and the director had hand-picked him for the role. He could pit his acting skills directly with the other veteran actors. The superposition of various halos directly crushed Shen Yu, a young rookie who only brought money into the crew, to nothing. Overwhelming Shen Yu to the point he couldn’t even raise the energy to put in more effort. Just knowing to be uselessly anxious. And the more anxious he was, the worse his performance would be. The worse the performance, the more dissatisfied the director and crew were. As the vicious circle descended, how could Shen Yu, who was born in a greenhouse, have the tenacity of Tao Mu, so he was suddenly depressed to the point that he already gave up on himself.

Director Xu watched from the sidelines, and seeing that Shen Yu really had no heart in filming, could only scratch his head and scream ‘cut’.

It was already two o’clock in the afternoon, not even one scene was finished, and the crew missed lunch as well. The director had a breath in his chest that he couldn’t exhale and wanted to at least make some progress. So he could only discuss with Tao Mu if they could start the scene of Tao Mu and Du Ze ahead of schedule? It would be great if they could finish it in one shot, and then everyone would eat after filming.

Tao Mu ate half a boxed lunch when he improvised on the spot, and could manage to hold on. Not to mention Du Ze. He had finished his lunch while he was waiting for his scene. Only the director, the lighting and camera, and Shen Yu were the only ones in the entire crew who had gone hungry.

Director Xu moved the shooting location with a sullen face.

Actually the filming location was just moved from the interrogation room to the entrance of the police station. The scene to be filmed was when Zhou Yuanting and the group of hoodlums were released. Zhou Yuanting was in a bad mood and had a dark expression on his face. But it didn’t matter to Du Ze and the group of hoodlums who often entered a holding cell. When they came out of the police station, they were talking and laughing, and were even discussing where to have a late night snack and a massage.

Ah Ze smiled and threw an arm over Zhou Yuanting’s shoulder: “Today you have done the most, so we’ll let you choose the place. The gang will pay, and we can be considered to eat and drink with public funds.”

Zhou Yuanting brushed Ah Ze’s arm away with an irritated expression.

Ah Ze didn’t mind, he threw it over his shoulders again, and even hooked it around Zhou Yuanting’s neck as he asked him: “Why, the most important thing in being a person is to be happy. It’s all good once you get used to this kind of thing. Us out in the streets, who haven’t been invited by the police for tea. It’s not like this is your first time——”

Don’t know what part of those words hit Zhou Yuanting’s sore spot but Zhou Yuanting pushed Ah Ze away with a livid face, and even gave a kick: “Piss off.”

Ah Ze was caught off guard, clutching his kicked chest and taking two steps back. He was also angry now: “What the hell is wrong with you! Did I f**k your woman or what? Was it me who handcuffed you and reprimanded you like a dog? I take you as a brother, but what do you take me for? Venting your anger out on me? Do you think you’re still a cop?”

The extras who played the hoodlums hurried over and pulled them apart. One was their leader, and the other was the up and coming king whip who was very popular in the gang and with the bosses. They didn’t want to offend either of them. (TN: king whip=technically it is tled literally as ‘red flower stick’ which basically means a top fighter, and above that is ‘double red flower stick’ which is the elite fighter, terms used by Hong Kong mafia)

Zhou Yuanting’s face was cold and solemn, he ignored Ah Ze’s words, and suddenly turned his head to look at the police station. Director Xu motioned for the camera to advance to the close-up of his face. Under the high-definition camera, Zhou Yuanting’s red eyes were clearly seen, but those eyes were extremely cold. The dark eyes seem to exude a biting chill. He glanced one last time at the police station, turned around and left, his figure decisive.

Ah Ze and the group of hoodlums stood together on the other side, watching Zhou Yuanting’s resolute back. He uttered a foul language in exasperation. But he was still worried, and while scolding himself for being a masochist, he led his subordinates to follow: “That way is the Causeway Bay, not our territory. This stinky boy running around in places you shouldn’t, you’ll be hacked to death without even knowing it!”

Because of this little episode, when Yan Sheng and Shen Yu left the dressing room and arrived at the shooting location, it was already ten minutes later.

Xu Musen had already waited even longer so these ten minutes were nothing. He just waved his hand to signal everyone to take their place.

This scene that was about to be filmed involved the mob boss played by Zhou Yanqing confronting a senior police superintendent played by Wang Jinsheng in the police station. The main lines were all between the two big names, as for Yan Sheng, Tao Mu and Shen Yu, although there were also shots, at best they were just background. Also in the background were Du Ze, who played a small-time gang leader, and a group of actors who played police officers.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Yu was very nervous. Because after this scene, he and Tao Mu would be filming a scene together at the same filming location. The scene where Zhou Yuanting was fired from the police academy. And after joining the mob as an undercover agent, he fought with other gangsters in a turf fight, and was arrested by Yan Yu and other police officers on duty in the police station on the charge of disturbing the security of Hong Kong. This was also the first scene of direct interaction between Shen Yu and Tao Mu after they joined the crew. With so many people watching, and so many people related to him coming to visit the set, Shen Yu didn’t want to disappoint.

Shen Yu’s head had always been relatively simple, and he could only think about one thing at a time. Shen Yu was a little absent-minded when he was filming the first scene because he was thinking about his later scene. When the camera swept over him, Shen Yu always appeared worried and couldn’t control his facial expression. But the look of frowning and unwilling to give up unexpectedly echoed the mood of the script for this scene, of Yan Yu seeing his good brother walking further and further off the right path and wanting to persuade him to change his ways, but didn’t know how to speak.

Xu Musen was slightly surprised. After the filming, he also praised Shen Yu’s improved acting skills. In front of his family and friends, Shen Yu, who was praised by the director, felt very happy. He couldn’t help but walk up to Tao Mu excitedly, asking Tao Mu to practice running their lines in advance.

“It’s been so long since we’ve been in the crew, and this is the first time the two of us will be filming opposite each other. Mu Mu, I’m so nervous!” As Shen Yu spoke, he really did hug the script in his arms nervously. He looked at Tao Mu eagerly: “I heard them say that Mu Mu’s acting skills are very good. And it’s easy for you to bring the other into the mood of the scene. So I will be relying on you in the next scene.”

No matter how much he hated Shen Yu, Tao Mu’s attitude towards filming was still very serious. Immediately, he stood up with a solemn expression and was about to practice lines with Shen Yu.

Shen Yu looked at Tao Mu who was empty-handed with a bewildered face, and couldn’t help but ask, “Mu Mu, where’s your script?”

“I don’t need the script.” Before joining the crew, Tao Mu had already memorized the entire script. Not just his own lines, but the lines of all the actors who played opposite him. In fact, in the entire crew, he was not the only one who could do this. At least Zhou Yanqing, Wang Jinsheng, Luo Daming and Yan Sheng could memorize the entire script. It also helped them better understand the characters and understand the script as a whole.

Actually, before joining the crew, Yan Sheng was also supervising Shen Yu on memorizing the script every day. It was a pity that Shen Yu didn’t persevere. At this moment, he could only look at Tao Mu with admiration: “You are amazing. I can’t do it. My brain is very stupid, and I quickly forget everything I have memorized. So I can only memorize it again l the morning of the scene.”

After speaking, he asked Tao Mu what tips he had for memorizing lines.

Tao Mu had a good memory by nature. In his previous life, he even remembered those boring financial theories and business cases from his textbooks that could only be memorized by rote memorization. So don’t even mention a classic script like “Black and White”. Besides, he had actually played the same role over and over again in his last life. He didn’t know how many times he had analyzed the film alone. Over time, his memory only got better and better. And after being reborn, Tao Mu could memorize any material or lines after reciting it at most three times.

“Recite it a few more times. Especially when reciting lines, try to imagine the plot scene in your mind. You can practice your expressions in the mirror, then find a few cameras to practice your positioning, and repeatedly adjust the details.” Tao Mu said very sincerely.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Yu heard these words, who knew what point had tickled his funny bone, but he giggled and laughed: “Isn’t that the same as fantasizing? It sounds like what a lunatic does!”

The several celebrities who were still on the set frowned at the same time. Yan Sheng, who had been paying attention to Shen Yu’s every frown and smile, smiled warmly and said, “Actually, being an actor can also be a very neurotic profession. In a single work of film, you need to fully experience the life of a stranger. You need to get to know him. Understand his emotions and desires, and be familiar with his thinking and logic. Analyzing the person’s words and deeds from the inside. This is not an easy task so a good actor needs to know a lot.”

If you want to act convincingly, you must have the deepest understanding of the character image. So good actors were also masters of life. Literature, history, philosophy, psychology, law, and social sciences, so long as there was a need, they must be able to have some knowledge in all kinds of professions and careers.

For example, Yan Sheng himself, his most serious moment was following along with intern doctors in a hospital for more than half a year, just to play the role of a doctor well. He even followed into the operating room, taking rounds of internships with a group of medical university interns. By the time the filming was over, Yan Sheng could even qualify for a nursing license himself.

Actually, Shen Yu was with Yan Sheng practically every day. If Yan Sheng practiced acting with him, Shen Yu’s acting skills would improve very quickly. It was a pity that Shen Yu himself had no willpower, and Yan Sheng was also reluctant to force him. When the two were together, more time was spent on meaningless sappy stuff. Especially after they got together officially, the two had even less scruples when they were in private.

This had caused Shen Yu’s acting skills to remain stagnant——not even at the level it was at this time in the previous life.

After all, in the previous life, there was Tao Mu, the vicious villain, who suppressed him in all directions in a mad dog-like manner for ten years straight. Even if it’s just for the sake of overcoming the difficulties Tao Mu threw his way, Shen Yu had to be patient and work hard to improve himself. So the food chain between the three had always been Tao Mu oppressing Shen Yu, Shen Yu crying to Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng trying to suppress Tao Mu and avenge Shen Yu.

But in this life, Tao Mu, who was reborn, was enlightened and didn’t want to follow the plot. So he just onesidely retreated like this, and the motive force that had been responsible for driving Shen Yu in the original plot disappeared, and Shen Yu himself was not a person who worked hard of his own initiative. So naturally, he just continued his days passively and went with the flow.

So it was not unreasonable to say that comfort makes people degenerate, and hardship makes people stronger.

Of course Shen Yu knew Yan Sheng’s good intentions. But he always thought he didn’t need to work so hard. The reason why he joined the entertainment industry in the first place was because he thought being an actor was fun. He liked the feeling of being idolized by fans after he became a star. But he only liked the bright side of being a star. If you asked him to pay the price, for example, try to get him to roll in mud for the sake of filming, soak in cold water in the winter and NG over and over again, or even be like some actors who took so far they ended up being hospitalized after being injured in an accident during filming. Shen Yu was unwilling to do so.

Just like how teenagers love to play video games. Even if their parents and teachers try their best to stop it, if there was a chance, they would sneak to the Internet cafe. But if you ask them to take a break from school to become an e-sports player, hone their basic operational skills day after day, check the strategy review videos in the hopes of improving even just a fraction of their score, and stay up all night to fight bosses, they would not be willing.

Shen Yu was also in this state of mind now. Without the oppression of Tao Mu, the vicious villain, the little prince lived a particularly content and stable life. Although his career made no progress, the fans supported him and his love life was happy. The only regret was probably that Mrs. Shen still refused to forgive him and let him go back to the Shen family.

Then there was Tao Mu. The other still did not agree to be friends with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu couldn’t help but feel a little moody. When filming the next scene, he brought this little bit of emotion into the plot.

“Why did you become like this, Ah Ting?” Yan Yu was wearing a police uniform, holding a transcript and a pen in his hand, and looked at Zhou Yuanting, who was handcuffed to a chair, with a look of disappointment.

“With your ability, even if you can’t be a policeman, you could still do other things. You are so smart, you would always be the first in the police academy assessment. We said at the time that you would be a good policeman in the future when you went out into the field. But look what you look like now? How many times have you come in this year? You actually mix with those gangsters and hoodlums. Have you ever thought how sad your parents would be when they see you now? And Xiao Wen? She loves you so much, how sad it would be to see you become like this——this recognizable—— unrecognizable——”

“Cut!” Director Xu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, shouted.

Shen Yu immediately stood up and bowed apologetically to everyone: “Sorry, I NG-ed.”

Xu Musen waved his hand and said nothing: “Once more.”

Shen Yu sorted out his emotions. He sat in front of the camera, reciting the lines righteously: “Zhou Yuanting, how could you become like this now——”

“Cut!”

“I’m sorry.” Shen Yu took a deep breath and continued to recite: “Ah Ting, how could you become like this…..Do you know how sad your parents would be——”

“Cut!”

“Sorry.” Shen Yu rubbed his head. It was summer, and the temperature was very hot, and the lighting at the shooting scene was even hotter. Shen Yu slumped on the chair and let the makeup artist come forward to touch up his makeup.

Shen Yu’s acting skills were originally at the bottom of the crew. He was filming opposite with Tao Mu, and even though Tao Mu didn’t say a single line, Shen Yu still felt uncomfortable. When saying his lines, he would always pay attention to Tao Mu’s expressions and movements. Then he would be intimidated by Zhou Yuanting’s hostility. Leading to stumbles and mistakes when he spoke his lines. And coupled with the strict requirements of Director Xu. With just a few lines, he managed to NG more than ten times.

The lunch boxes were delivered.

It was like this every time, as soon as Shen Yu was the one in front of the camera, there would be NGs.

Director Xu frowned. He felt that Shen Yu’s emotions were not bad now and they should continue to film. If he waited until lunch was over before resuming, he was afraid that Shen Yu’s emotions wouldn’t be able to keep up, and it wouldn’t even meet the current standards.

But if the filming continued, Director Xu was not sure when Shen Yu would pass. The key was that Tao Mu was also hungry. He had accompanied Mr. Song and his two fathers to have morning tea in the morning. He woke up very early and didn’t eat much. So he was already a bit hungry after ten o’clock in the morning, and even hungrier now at half past twelve that his stomach started growling. It could even be heard clearly on the sounding device.

Now this was a bit funny.

Director Xu couldn’t make up his mind. At the critical moment, Tao Mu said, “Give me some food first.”

In the spirit of not sacrificing his own benefit, Tao Mu asked to change the script: “Anyway, the script did not mention the time when Zhou Yuanting’s gang was arrested and brought to the police station. So take it as it being lunchtime, and Yan Yu specially prepared a lunch box for Zhou Yuanting when he came to record his statement. It also makes sense in terms of details. After all, when the two were in the police academy, they were good brothers from the same dormitory.”

This idea…..seemed like a good idea! And it could also reflect Yan Yu’s personality from the details.

Director Xu discussed it with the screenwriter and finally decided to add such a scene.

So when the filming started next, there was such a scene.

Yan Yu entered the interrogation room with a lunch box and handed it to Zhou Yuanting: “Eat first.”

Zhou Yuanting, who was handcuffed to the chair, stretched out his legs and sat indolently, raising his handcuffed hands: “How am I to eat, Ah Sir.”

Yan Yu shook his head and released Zhou Yuanting’s handcuffs. Zhou Yuanting rotated his wrist, pulled apart the convenient chopsticks, opened the lunch box, and lowered his head to eat.

Tao Mu was really hungry. Therefore, Zhou Yuanting ate very deliciously in front of the camera. His face still had bruises and wounds left from the fight, and as he practically shoveled the food down his throat, it caused even Director Xu and the cameramen to swallow their excess saliva.

Yan Yu sat across the table and shook his head: “You still have the heart to eat, even I haven’t eaten yet.”

Zhou Yuanting kept his head down while eating without saying a word. He devoured the food in big mouthfuls so much so that he almost choked. Yan Yu hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Zhou Yuanting unscrewed the bottle cap and raised his head to drink. The water bottle was tilted down in midair, and the collar of his clothes got wet when the mineral water splashed down. The camera moved down from Zhou Yuanting’s lips, and followed the path of those water droplets as they slid down his chin and over his neck and Adam’s apple. It gave him a kind of desperation that was deliberately concealed.

Yan Yu looked at Zhou Yuanting’s current appearance and rebuked lamentably: “Ah Ting, how did you become like this? Even if you can’t be a policeman, you can always do other things. You are so smart…..why do you want to mix in with those gangsters and hoodlums? Have you ever thought how sad your parents would be when they see you now? And Xiao Wen? She loves you so much, how sad it would be to see you look this unrecognizable now——”

Zhou Yuanting, who had been eating with his head down, heard the name Xiao Wen and gave a slight pause. He interrupted Yan Yu gloomily: “Are you and Xiao Wen together now?”

Yan Yu gave a slight pause: “Xiao Wen and I only got together half a year after you two broke up.”

Zhou Yuanting put down his chopsticks, poked his inner cheek with his tongue, and sneered with his head down.

Yan Yu frowned: “Ah Ting, don’t do this. Don’t you believe me? We were good brothers——”

“Good brother?” Zhou Yuanting leaned back on the chair and raised his eyebrows with the air of a proper hoodlum: “Have you ever regarded me as a brother?”

Before Yan Yu could speak, Zhou Yuanting asked again, “What’s your relationship with Yan Qi?”

Yan Yu’s face suddenly turned ashen, and he said angrily, “I don’t know this person. Our Yan family doesn’t have this person either.”

“That’s your family’s business.” Zhou Yuanting shrugged his shoulders and twisted his neck to loosen his muscles and bones: “Yan Yu, the reason why you can sit here in a police uniform today is not because you are better than me, nor because you are more on the side of justice than I am. But because your fate is better than mine. You have a good big brother who desperately covered for your ass. So why don’t you cut your crap about righteousness in front of me. Everyone in this world has the right to accuse me, Zhou Yuanting, for willingly corrupting myself, only you do not.”

Next, it was time for Shen Yu to speak his lines. But at the critical moment, Shen Yu made the old mistake of forgetting his words again.

Seeing that the scene was about to NG again, Tao Mu, who was slumped on the chair, glanced at Shen Yu and suddenly exploded. He raised his hand and flipped the rest of the lunch box on the table. Shen Yu was instantly stunned. Director Xu in front of the monitor was also stunned. The entire crew was stunned.

“Good brother? The good brother who robbed me of my future and slept with my woman? What right do you have to stand here and lecture at me?” Zhou Yuanting stood up suddenly, full of anger, pointing at Yan Yu and roaring: “From beginning to end, you don’t know anything, you just stand here and pretend to be innocent. We were both police officers, yet you were able to pass the examination despite having a big brother who is a higher up in the mafia, while I just went out to the club for one night, only to be expelled decisively. Why is this?”

“It’s because my fate is not good. I, Zhou Yuanting, was unlucky. But I’ll tell you now that I, Zhou Yuanting, won’t bend over for fate. You want to mess with me, it won’t be so easy. Sooner or later, I, Zhou Yuanting, will take back everything that belonged to me.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

As Zhou Yuanting finished his declaration, he kicked at the chair in the interrogation room. The chair was kicked into the corner and bounced back, and the smashed armrests flew in all directions, to finally land on the ground, spinning for a while before stopping.

Shen Yu was frightened stupid. The whole set was terrified. They didn’t expect Tao Mu’s explosive scene to be so scary.

The whole set was so silent a pin dropping could be heard. After a long time, Director Xu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, came to his senses and shouted “cut” in a daze.
