Chapter 54 - 54: Did You Cry Or Turn Silly From The Fight
'Why are there always fools showing up and asking for a beating?'
"Little pepper, even if the culprit is a brainless hardcore fan who loves me to death, you can't blame it on me!"
'Trust you to have the cheek to mention it. If not for a fool like you, why would I receive such a threat?'
Fortunately, Yan Jinyi had been a bandit for years and had become sworn siblings with malicious crooks and bandits. Otherwise, she would have been scared soulless.
'What would happen if this thing lands in the hands of other pretty girls?'
"Zhuang Heng, apart from when we're filming our scenes together, stay three meters away from me at all times. Or else..." Yan Jinyi glanced at the spot where he had placed both hands on. "If I receive another threat again because of you, I'll serve you with a sickle!"
Sickle?
Zhuang Heng was stunned and started imagining a bloody scene which made his heart shudder. "Little pepper, you've got a unique taste."
"Silly, you've got a unique masochistic nature."
Yan Jinyi glanced at Zhuang Heng with disdain before taking a step back to close the door of the room.
As soon as she reached the set, Tao Wei and the others began surrounding her and asking her questions.
There were many celebrities who had received death threats, most of which were through social media platforms. Receiving a fake finger at the door of one's room like Yan Jinyi did, it was a first.
In order to ensure the safety of the crew, they had already filed a case at the police station and they discovered through the surveillance camera footage that the culprit was a repeat offender.
He wore a loose wide black raincoat, with plastic gloves on his hands and a ghoul mask on his face.
"The suspect looks so scary. Will he really threaten you and put your life in danger?" Tao Wei asked with some concern. "Why don't you hire a bodyguard? I'll pay for it."
Yan Jinyi lifted her eyelids and retorted rhetorically, "Is a hundred million yuan a lot? Do you have a lot to spare? Hah, I doubt that piece of garbage will dare to come and create trouble."
'How dare he threaten me. He must be really brazen.'
The production team of 'Female Bandit' was rather harmonious and everyone got along pretty well. Apart from Zhuang Heng and a veteran actor whom Tao Wei was on good terms with, the other actors were starlets like Yan Jinyi.
There were a few with foul mouths who had been taught a lesson by Zhuang Heng yesterday.
"Our crew is not well received by everyone else and everyone thinks that Zhuang Heng is stooping too low by working with us. Besides, the actress playing the female lead is a newbie. Some people are definitely upset," said a supporting actor who was extremely experienced. He comforted her, "Jinyi, why don't you just hire a bodyguard? We know you are proficient in martial arts, but what if the culprit is a lunatic?"
"It doesn't matter, I can be crazier than him."
"…"
It was really unnecessary.
The fact that Yan Jinyi had been threatened by Zhuang Heng's fans caused quite a stir, and many celebrities began to complain about how they had been threatened and even got depressed as a result. All of a sudden, they gained another large fan base.
In America.
Huo Xishen had just had dinner with one of the campaigners of the year.
In the spacious car, he leaned backwards languidly, his ink-blue shirt slightly open, revealing a large patch of his tan skin.
The sleeves were rolled up high, and the veins on his toned, strong arm were slightly bulging with an inexplicable vibe of explosiveness.
"Mr. Huo, something happened at home again."
The assistant reported softly.
"Is it Huo Zihang or Huo Qingyuan?"
They were the most worrisome ones in the family.
The assistant wiped some cold sweat off his forehead and answered, "Neither. It's Young Mistress."
Huo Xishen asked with raised brows, "Sister-in-law?"
"Second Young Mistress, your wife."
Huo Xishen nodded nonchalantly.
"Second Young Mistress invested in a film lately where she will be playing the female lead. She received a threatening letter in the hotel last night."
'So she invested that 100 million in a film.'
Huo Xishen squinted and asked, "Did she get scared to tears or scared silly?"
The assistant pursed his lips and answered, "Neither. She posted something on Weibo and threatened to beat the culprit up."
"Okay."
