Chapter 411

"So what if he's rich? Dr. Ching's rules don't allow one to come to see a doctor just because he's rich."

"Thirty thousand yuan for showing off? What is this? Don't you know that Dr. Ching is a multi-billion-yuan boss?"

"Yes, the rich Mr. Wong in our province last time offered a million yuan to invite Dr. Ching to come to see him, but Dr. Ching didn't agree. In the end, he came to line up by himself."

...

In the face of the queuing patients' sarcastic remarks, Huang Xinya suddenly felt that her face was burning red. She was angry, angry and annoyed, which almost set her on fire at once.

In the end, under the scolding of the crowd and the deterrent of the security guards, Huang Xinya got into a car with her assistant in disgrace and left.

Zachary didn't care much about Huang Xinya's interlude. After all, there were many arrogant people like Huang Ziya, and he would meet one from time to time. Instead of spending much effort to make people like Huang Xinya angry, it was better for him to leave some time to teach the doctors in his pharmacy.

The business of the drugstore was going down day by day, and it was bustling and stable. As for the news from Lorenzo Road Entertainment, the news came very quickly. Under Lauren's powerful operation ability, Lorenzo Road International announced its official establishment in just half a month.

On the day of its establishment, Lauren had organized a large-scale press conference. Together with the TV reporters brought by Dean Liu of the network department, she made a great deal of noise. As the big boss behind the entertainment company, Zachary also briefly stepped on the stage to have a speech.

At the press conference, Lauren also announced a total of ten entertainers for the signing of Lorenzo Road Entertainment. In addition to Qiao Xiaoxiao, who was a singer, there were actors, models, and even online celebrities. Although they were not too big, they had a good reputation and great development potential. Of course, as the top player of Lorenzo Road Entertainment, Qiao Xiaoxiao was naturally the key person in the press conference. Lauren announced the general consensus of Lorenzo Road Entertainment, and at the same time, she announced and explained that Qiao Xiaoxiao had crossed the boundary to participate in the role of "Eighteen-year-old Young Shang", which could be regarded as publicity and publicity in advance.

After the press conference, Lorenzo Road Entertainment officially entered the development track. Qiao Xiaoxiao also officially joined the production crew of 'Eighteen-year-old Young Shang', which officially began his acting career. On this day, Lauren arrived at Rende Hall by car and made a phone call to call Zachary out.

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Zachary fastened his seat belt and looked at Lauren's perfect side profile in the driver's seat. He suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and his index finger moved. He couldn't help but move closer to her face. However, Lauren tilted her head and avoided Zachary's light move.

"Sister Lim!" Zachary said with an ingratiating look.

Lauren angrily nodded at Zachary's head, pointed to the people behind him and said, "Someone is following us. Don't mess around."

"There's someone following me!" Zachary's heart suddenly tightened and his expression became tense.

Seeing Zachary's expression, Lauren couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Ching, don't be so nervous. I'm the one who sent the people behind you."

This time, Zachary was even more confused. He said, "Sister Lim, why did you send someone to follow you?"

Lauren smiled and said, "Because we are going to visit the crew now!"

"Come to visit the crew!" Zachary was stunned and then he immediately thought of something. "You mean that we are going to Xiaoxiao's crew to visit the crew."

"Yes!" Lauren nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao is a complete new actress on the road of acting. Sometimes we need some news to increase exposure. Of course, we won't deliberately make those eye-catching dirty anecdotes to increase exposure." "That's why I invited you, the big boss, to visit personally. It can be considered as an appreciation of Xiaoxiao, as well as an indication of the determination of our Luo Shui Entertainment Company."

"I see!" Zachary touched his head. He didn't expect there to be such a story behind it.

Seeing Zachary like this, Lauren gave him an angry look and said, "Someone is backing you up. Be careful when you get there later. Don't go too far."

With a look of grievance, Zachary looked at Lauren and said, "Sister Lim, am I that kind of person? I didn't know it just now, so..."

"All right, let's go." Lauren stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

The crew's shooting place was at the provincial university. When Lauren and Zachary came to the crew, some students had already gathered around to watch the fun.

As soon as Lauren made a phone call, a man came out of the crew and led them in. Of course, the reporters behind also followed her silently.

For the crew, it was Zachary's first time to watch a real film on the spot. He felt a little novel and was very interested in it.

The staff brought the two of them to the rest area to sit down and told them to wait for a while, because Qiao Xiaoxiao was currently filming an opponent show with the female lead.

Zachary and Lauren sat on chairs and looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao and others who were filming not far away.

At this moment, the scene was in the corridor of the school's classroom. Probably because of something, Qiao Xiaoxiao's role as No. 4 female protagonist was misunderstood. She was slapped by the second male lead who came to cause trouble, and then the female lead came forward to help No. 4.

At this moment, what was filming was the scene of Qiao Xiaoxiao arguing with the second male lead until the last scene of the fight.

The two of them argued. Qiao Xiaoxiao was playing the innocent No. 4 girl. She was so wronged that her face was full of tears, and she was defending something.

At this moment, the second male lead slapped Qiao Xiaoxiao in the face and scolded fiercely, "Bitch, don't let me see you again."

Although Zachary knew that he was filming, he still felt unpleasant when he saw Qiao Xiaoxiao being slapped in the face. He even had an impulse to start a fight.

After the second male lead slapped her in the face, what followed was the scene of the female lead rushing over to help her out.

But at this moment, the heroine who should have rushed over slowly walked over, looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao for a while, and then shouted to the director in the shooting direction, "Director Cui, I don't think the performance in the case of slapping me just now was good. I can't feel it. Let's do it again."

Before the director could finish his sentence, the man acting as the second male lead spoke up. "Director Cui, I feel like my performance just now was a little inappropriate. I want to do it again."

After that, he looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao and asked, "Miss Qiao, let's do it again."

Qiao Xiaoxiao nodded silently. So the director made a gesture, the camera and the lights were ready again, and then began to repeat the scene just now.

After the arguments, "pa" a crisp sound, the man slapped him again. Qiao Xiaoxiao's face was full of tears, and the expression of grievance was very exciting and real.

But at this moment, the heroine who should have come quickly did not move again. With a look of watching a good show, she held her arms and said, "Director, I think we should do it again." The second male lead agreed, "Director, let's do it again. We need to do our best."

At this time, Zachary finally noticed that the heroine was Huang Xinya, who failed to work at Rende Hall some time ago.

It seemed that Huang Xinya had also noticed Zachary's gaze. Huang Ziya looked at him with a sense of revenge in her eyes, which made Zachary frown instantly.

At this time, the shooting started again. The two men argued. The second male lead raised his arm and was ready to slap his face.

Looking at the teasing look in the eyes of the second male student, Zachary's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Stop!"

Then he strode towards Qiao Xiaoxiao and the others.

However, the second male lead did not stop after hearing Zachary's shout. Instead, he sped up and slapped towards Qiao Xiaoxiao's face.

Seeing this, Zachary's heart was filled with anger. An invisible smell of herbs burst out and turned into a ball, shooting at the man's arm.

The second male lead cried out and felt a pain in his arm. He withdrew his arm, with a painful expression on his face. This was the result of Zachary's mercy. Otherwise, if he turned the smell of herbs into a sharp sword, it would be impossible for him to pierce through the man's arm.

"What are you doing? Get out of here. We're filming now." The staff came forward and stopped him.

"Get out of my way!" Zachary roared. The staff trembled and stood in the same place, not daring to move.

At this moment, Lauren also walked over with a serious expression on her face. She exchanged a few words with the other party's personnel, and they immediately left. After all, Lin Qingyu could be considered one of the benefactors of this play, and they still had to give her some face.

However, at this time, the second male disciple looked at Zachary with resentment, covered his arm, and said, "It was you who plotted against me just now!"

Zachary didn't pay attention to him at all. He turned to Qiao Xiaoxiao, who was standing aside, and said, "Xiaoxiao, look up."

Qiao Xiaoxiao was stunned. She lowered her head and turned sideways to block her cheek. She said in a low voice, "Mr. Ching, I'm acting. You..."

Zachary raised his voice and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, look up!"

Qiao Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at Zachary. Her watery eyes were full of tears at the moment.

When Zachary saw Qiao Xiaoxiao's red and swollen cheeks, his eyes narrowed. He turned to look at the male number two and asked in a cold voice, "Did you really hit her?"

The second male lead was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Qiao Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Zachary and said, "Mr. Ching, I'm fine. My face has been made up like this. I didn't get hurt."

Zachary turned his head and looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao with pity in his eyes. He said, "Xiaoxiao, you forgot what Mr. Ching is doing. Can't I tell if his face is a real or fake injury?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao was stunned. She pursed her lips and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Zachary stared at the number two man again and asked in a serious tone, "I'll ask you again. Did you really hit Qiao Xiaoxiao just now?"

Chapter 412

Before the second male lead spoke, Huang Xinya, holding her arms, came over with an unpleasant look and said, "What are you doing? Don't you see that we are filming!"

The second male lead also said at this time, "We are filming. It was all normal just now."

"Do we really need to fight like this?" Zachary glared at the two.

The second male lead said, "The requirements of Director Cui's work are very strict, and what I do is also for the effect of shooting. We are not the kind of people who fight randomly." Qiao Xiaoxiao pulled Zachary's clothes, shook his head and said, "Mr. Ching, I'm fine."

Zachary gave Qiao Xiaoxiao a stern look and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it. I won't let you be wronged."

After that, Zachary looked at the male No. 2 with a cold look and said in a cold voice, "Don't think that I can't figure out what on earth you're doing."

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for her?" The second male lead said to Zachary unhappily.

"Isn't it?" Zachary looked at him coldly.

When Huang Xinya saw this, she sneered and said, "Some newcomers, they think that they are great if they have a little fame. What's the big deal about being slapped twice? They can't stand this kind of thing, why do they still need to shoot a movie?"

Hearing this, Zachary said, "If it was really for the need of a movie, there is nothing wrong with that. But the situation just now is that Director Cui said you can do it. But you insist on acting alone and forced yourself to shoot several times." "Watch your mouth! You're saying that I deliberately targeted her!" Huang Xiya glanced at Qiao Xiaoxiao and said to Zachary.

"You know your own mind. I don't want you to take it to the filming site for things happening outside the filming site," Zachary said in a cold voice.

Huang Xinya said coldly, "What do you mean by off-site? You said I'm not professional, and you said I took revenge on purpose. I'm just a rookie. I'll take revenge on her on purpose. What a joke. I think you deliberately hyped for fame." "The hype? With Xiaoxiao's current fame, do I need to use you, an old woman who pretends to be young, to hype? What a joke," Zachary said rudely and sarcastically.

When Huang Xinya heard the words, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and her face instantly turned as red as pork liver.

She hated it the most, and was also most afraid of others poking at her weakness, which was age and pretending to be young. Suddenly, like an enraged hen, she screamed sharply at Zachary, "Who do you say is an old woman? Who do you say pretend to be young? You talk nonsense!"

Zachary snorted and said, "You should be clear about whether I'm talking nonsense or not."

"It's because some time ago, you went to my pharmacy to see a doctor, but you didn't follow the rules of our pharmacy and were kicked out by me. So, with hatred in your heart, you deliberately targeted Qiao Xiaoxiao. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts," Zachary shouted coldly.

Being exposed from her dark thoughts, Huang Xinya was suddenly angry and annoyed. She waved her hands and tried to grab Qiao Xiaoxiao's face.

Seeing this, Zachary stepped forward and stood in front of Qiao Xiaoxiao. Then he glared at Huang Xiya coldly and shouted, "How dare you! Don't force me to beat a woman!"

Zachary's trembling momentum suddenly broke out, which immediately made Huang Xinya's heart tremble. Huang Xinya was stunned and did not dare to do anything at all.

For a moment, the scene became silent and tense. The two sides confronted each other and did not speak.

At this moment, Director Cui Peng couldn't sit still anymore. He came up to them with a bitter face and said, "Miss Huang, Miss Qiao, sometimes it's inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings in the filming. Don't quarrel with us. Let's sit down and have a talk."

Although he was a director, nominally, he should be in charge of all the things on the spot. But in this society, except for such a real big director, most of the time, the on-site directors had to be restricted and restrained by various investors. For example, the investment boss behind Huang Xinya and the advertising boss behind Qiao Xiaoxiao were not things Cui Peng could afford to drink casually. He could only smooth things over at this moment.

However, it was obvious that Huang Xinya did not take him seriously. After glancing at Cui Peng, she said unhappily, "He has bullied me in front of me. There's nothing to talk about."

Zachary did not give way and said, "This is not a misunderstanding, but it is a deliberate suppression and bullying. You must apologize."

"You want me to apologize to a newcomer? No way!" Huang Xinya said proudly.

At this moment, Lauren walked to Cui Peng with a cold face and said, "Because of today's incident, we have reason to suspect that someone had bullied and suppressed Qiao Xiaoxiao during the previous filming. We require to see the pictures on the scene." Cui Peng was a little embarrassed and said, "This..."

Lauren said coldly, "If Director Cui can't make a decision, you can call the investor. If you don't agree, we will give up our cooperation project this time."

Cui Peng felt a headache and didn't want to call the investor. He could only nod and say, "Okay, Miss Lim, please wait a moment."

A moment later, the assistant came over with a few machines.

Director Cui fiddled with them for a while, and then he gave Zachary and Lauren the seats.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

They looked at them and found that the pictures displayed by the machines were some that had not been edited yet.

It didn't take long for Lauren and Zachary's faces to become more and more ugly. Finally, Zachary snorted and stood up directly, looking at Huang Xinya with cold eyes.

Even though these scenes were all scenes of different scenes, they were all scenes that were similar to what they had just seen, moreover even worse.

Huang Xinya took advantage of her status as the female lead and deliberately ordered other actors to abuse and beat Qiao Xiaoxiao during the filming process.

Especially the scene of falling and being beaten, Huang Xinya was so happy to do it again and again that she asked for a dozen more photos. It was not until Qiao Xiaoxiao was almost crying that she decided to give up.

What happened today was just the tip of the iceberg. If Zachary, A Miao, and Lauren hadn't come here at this time, they might not have found out that there was such a bullying scene on the scene.

Lauren gently held Qiao Xiaoxiao in her arms and said, "Xiaoxiao, when you encounter this kind of thing, why don't you tell me and Zachary?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao was speechless. She faltered and said, "Sister Lim, it's you who spent a lot of effort and money to participate in this movie. Besides, I'm the first artiste to sign the contract of Lorenzo Road Entertainment. I don't want to..." She didn't go on, but Lauren didn't understand what Qiao Xiaoxiao was thinking. She stroked Qiao Xiaoxiao's head with distress and blame, saying, "Silly sister, compared with you getting hurt, what are those things you said?" Zachary's eyes were cold. He walked up to Huang Xinya and said coldly, "Go apologize to Xiaoxiao now!"

"You want me to apologize? Don't even think about it..." Huang Xiya shouted.

"Come on!" Zachary shouted.

"Impossible! I won't..." Huang Xinya still refused to admit her mistake, with a proud look on her face.

Zachary said coldly, "Normally, I don't hit women, but now you're forcing me to do it."

During the conversation, Zachary moved like lightning, and in almost the blink of an eye, he was in front of Huang Xinya. Before she could react, he slapped her in the face.

"You, you dare to beat me. Security, security, police..." Huang Xinya shouted.

The staff of the crew rushed over and tried to persuade her with good words.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! "Stop, all of you! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Zachary shouted coldly, grabbed a small iron item in his palm, and pinched it hard.

When he loosened his hand, the iron equipment was completely deformed and turned into a ball of iron lumps and thrown on the ground.

Seeing this, those staff members suddenly did not dare to come forward.

"Apologize!" Zachary's eyes were as cold as ice.

"I..." Huang Xinya originally wanted to say something tough, but when he saw Zachary's cold eyes, the rest of the words were blocked in his throat and could not be spoken. "Hum!" Zachary snorted and crushed the stone on the ground with his foot.

Huang Xinya's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't dare to say anything more. She walked over to Qiao Xiaoxiao and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault before, I was wrong."

Qiao Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, only frowning. Lauren waved her hand in disgust, indicating for Huang Xinya to leave.

Then, Lauren and Zachary came to Director Cui Peng with serious faces and said, "Director Cui, I know I have my own scruples about this matter. But the actors of our company have been bullied like this, we can't sit by and do nothing." "Please don't be angry, Miss Lim. I will let them pay attention to this matter. There will definitely be no next time." Director Cui said flatteringly.

After all, in this movie, the producer also attached great importance to Qiao Xiaoxiao. On the one hand, it was Lauren who invested ten million yuan in the advertisements. On the other hand, it was Qiao Xiaoxiao's current reputation, which could definitely bring a number of fans to the film.

However, Zachary was not satisfied with Cui Peng's response. He said, "Director Cui, this matter is not as simple as paying attention to it. We have already decided that Qiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Xiya will not coexist in this play." "This..." Cui Peng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Qiao Xiaoxiao was an important place for the producer to attract fans, but Huang Xinya was also an actress who was specifically asked by investors to participate in the production. This made him, a director who had no real power. For a moment, Cui Peng felt that he was going to collapse. He could only say, "Mr. Ching, Miss Lim, this matter is of great importance. I, I can't make the decision. Or I will report it to the producer and the investors." Zachary also knew Cui Peng's difficulties. He nodded and said, "That's all for today. Let's take Xiaoxiao back first."

Lauren said with a cold face, "Director Cui, you'd better get the result as soon as possible. If Huang Xiya must stay, our advertising investment and Qiao Xiaoxiao will withdraw. Please consider it carefully." Cui Peng nodded and watched Zachary and Lauren leave with Qiao Xiaoxiao.

Chapter 413

Chapter 413

As soon as Zachary and the others left, Huang Xinya immediately broke out. Huang Xinya cried and smashed things, throwing a temper. In the end, she threw away her hands and left directly.

At this point, Director Cui Peng was dumbfounded. The two actors had already left, so why were they still shooting? In the end, he had no choice but to announce that the filming was over and pack his things and leave. After coming back, Zachary and Lauren comforted Qiao Xiaoxiao for a while, and Zachary personally cured Qiao Xiaoxiao's swollen cheeks quickly.

Lauren was also making contact with other film productions to prepare for Qiao Xiaoxiao's affairs. After all, Qiao Xiaoxiao was only on the fourth female character in this play. Qiao Xiaoxiao was likely to give up on the other party. Sure enough, the next day, the production team of "Eighteen-year-old Young Sorrow" released the news that Qiao Xiaoxiao had left the crew. At the same time, the advertisements of Lorenzo Road International Beauty Dispelling Scar Frost had also withdrawn from the crew.

If that was the case, Zachary and Lauren could let it go. They could just contact Qiao Xiaoxiao for a new set.

But just when they thought that this matter was about to pass, the next morning, the major entertainment pages of the provincial capital were bursting with strips of news.

The main content of the story was that Qiao Xiaoxiao got an electric shock for the first time, but he played a big game in the filming site. He showed no respect to the staff on the scene, especially to Huang Xiya, and even threatened and beat Huang Xiya.

As soon as the news was reported, it immediately caused a great disturbance in the provincial entertainment circle. Especially in recent days, his career developed smoothly. For Qiao Xiaoxiao, who just signed the entertainment company, it was a serious impact on him.

At the same time, at that night, Huang Xinya also got on an online entertainment program, which made her suffer a lot. When the publicity was on the filming, how arrogant Qiao Xiaoxiao was, how disrespectful to the old actors and how arrogant he was.

In the program, she even invited an investor in a movie to pour out her hardship with her and condemn for Qiao Xiaoxiao with words.

Under such an attack, Qiao Xiaoxiao was immediately pushed to the edge of the storm. Some confused masses, when they saw the news, immediately began to swear at Qiao Xiaoxiao on the Internet.

When Lauren heard the news, she immediately arranged for the entertainment company to deal with the urgent public relations. First of all, on the platform such as network Weibo, WeChat, and so on, she sent a statement of clarification as soon as possible. At the same time, Lauren unceremoniously delivered a piece of paper and directly reported Huang Xinya and her investor by slandering them.

At the same time, he urgently contacted Dean Liu, who was on the provincial entertainment TV station and related global entertainment program to make an exclusive interview for Qiao Xiaoxiao to clarify the defamation of this case.

For a time, the provincial entertainment industry suddenly became lively. Both sides had a verbal debate on the Internet, and in the end, it became a quarrel between both sides.

At this moment, Zachary's heart was filled with anger. Originally, he planned to let this matter go like this, but now the other party openly slandered Qiao Xiaoxiao and provoked this quarrel in the entertainment industry when they were in the wrong first.

Since the other party was unscrupulous, Zachary did not mind using some special means to teach him a lesson.

That night, Zachary called someone to make arrangements. People from the gangs in the provincial capital, as well as the underworld, took action one after another. An undercurrent of undercurrent surged and began to operate silently in the provincial capital.

As for the crew, Director Cui Peng was really dizzy recently, and all kinds of things were coming to him. He was almost going to explode.

The conflict between Qiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Xinya in the crew led to the dismissal of Qiao Xiaoxiao's departure and the removal of the advertising umbrella, so Cui Peng had to start looking for Qiao Xiaoxiao in emergency again. If it was said that the film had just started filming not long ago, the impact of this matter was not very big. Then, later, Huang Xinya was dissatisfied with her and cooperated with the investors behind her to hype herself in the major media, which made Cui Peng even more annoyed and crazy.

It was not easy for him to refuse Huang Xinya and the investor's request for him to come forward, but he was also secretly suppressed by the investors. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a more suitable director at the moment, he, Cui Peng, would be fired directly.

After such a disturbance, the crew had been closed for more than a week. Today, they could finally start their work again.

When Cui Peng came to the provincial university with his crew to arrange the shooting site.

However, he was shocked to find that in the provincial university, these two buildings were rented by the school to their crew to shoot a movie.

At this moment, there were many students coming and going, and many of them even directly sat down and began to study in some important places.

Cui Peng quickly let the staff to let the students leave, because soon the actors would come over and the shooting was about to start.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

However, those students were not willing to leave. They said that this was their school and they could study here as they wanted.

Cui Peng had no choice but to find the leader of the school and quickly discuss this matter.

When the university leaders heard this, they immediately flew into a rage. Leading a team of security guards, they directly rushed over and began to shout loudly at them as they started to drive them away.

As a result, it turned out to be even worse. This stirred up the resistance of the students, and they were all even more unwilling to leave. There were even more students who directly called over to occupy this place. Only then did the school feel that things were a little troublesome, and quickly changed people to comfort the students. But at this moment, it was too late.

More and more students were enraged. They organized themselves to come here, shouted slogans and slogans, and opposed the school and crew's behavior.

She didn't know who called the reporters and directly told them about it. They said that the school ignored the students' objections and rented a place that should have been used for teaching to the crew for shooting. It seriously affected students' education and life.

The situation was getting more and more serious, and the school didn't dare to take any tough measures. The crew had no choice but to withdraw from the school and go to the place of the Exterior to shoot first. They had to take good pictures of some scenes that were not at school.

This time, there was nothing wrong with the venue. The crew's equipment and staff were all ready. However, several main actors, especially Huang Xiya and Wang Dong, the male lead, had inexplicably encountered traffic jams, quarrels, or even accidents in the process of coming to the shooting site several times.

Although no serious injury had been caused to them, it not only delayed their time, but also frightened them a lot. Especially at one time, seven or eight large trucks filled with dirt came whistlingly and sandwiched Huang Xinya and Wang Dong's cars between them. They were almost forced to the road fence several times, which scared the two of them very much.

In addition to these things, the crew suffered a lot during the shooting. The sudden blackout and stopping water happened again and again. The public actors and actresses, who had agreed on this plan, suddenly lost their job. The equipment and props, which had been previously arranged, were suddenly destroyed. There were all kinds of things.

For a whole week, the whole crew had not finished shooting the whole picture for a second, which made Cui Peng and others so anxious that they almost fainted.

At this time, Zachary looked at the various reports in his hand, gently tapping on the desk with his fingers, and said, "It's almost time. You can send them the letters."

Soon, all the key members of the production team of "Eighteen-year-old Young Shang" received an email in the first place.

The contents of the email were very simple. They asked the crew to ask Huang Xinya to apologize and admit that they had framed Qiao Xiaoxiao before. At the same time, they also asked the crew to remove Huang Xinya from the crew. If they did not agree, this week's incident would be just an appetizer.

In the face of such an almost naked threat, Cui Peng and others finally understood. The various incidents that had happened in the past week were simply the deliberate revenge of the force behind Qiao Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that the power behind this new star was so horrible that they were almost omnipotent in the provincial capital and even forced them into such a desperate situation. The cause of all this was Huang Xinya's dissatisfaction with Qiao Xiaoxiao and her revenge in the filming process.

This was no longer a decision that he, a director without real power, could make. Cui Peng had no choice but to transfer the letter to the investment and producer of the crew, so that they could solve this headache.

Soon, in the conference room of the top management of the crew, more than ten people were sitting on both sides of a conference table with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was very depressed.

In the end, a middle-aged man with a square face, with a gloomy face, said, "You all saw the email!"

The others nodded and continued with a square face, "Well, now, let's talk about our views. What should we do about the email?"

As soon as he finished, a bald middle-aged man sitting opposite him slammed his palm on the table and said, "What should we do? Of course, we should face them to the end! It's just a small sound, and it's threatening us. Of course, we can't admit defeat."

However, the bald man's words were not echoed by others. Instead, after a period of silence, a middle-aged man looked at the bald man and said, "Mr. Wong, your family has a great fortune. It doesn't matter if you lose money for the long- term investment of this movie. However, I can't compare with you. I will invest 50 million yuan. If it lasts too long, I am afraid it will affect the flow of funds in the company."

Hearing this, the bald man narrowed his eyes. He looked at the man who spoke and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by that? Do you think we should admit defeat to such a rogue force?"

The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care what power it is. Anyway, I can't just put it off by watching a movie."

As soon as he finished his words, several small investors around him also nodded and said, "Mr. Wong, our views are the same as Boss Liu's. Our family is small, and we can't afford such a mess." "How can you..." President Wang, who was bald, looked at the people who spoke and said unpleasantly.

Chapter 414

Chapter 414

The bald President Wang turned to the middle-aged man with a square face. They were the major investors of this movie. If they could reach an agreement, then the opinions of other small investors would not matter. So, President Wang said to the square-faced man, "President Zhu, you have been working in this industry for so many years and have seen all kinds of crises. You will not yield to such a rogue. What do you think?" He was complimenting Mr. Zhu, but the square-faced man opposite him shook his head slightly and said, "I agree with Mr. Liu's opinion on this matter."

"Mr. Zhu, how can you admit defeat to a nameless man? Isn't that..." Mr. Wong, who was bald, looked anxious.

Manager Zhu waved his hand and interrupted him. "Manager Zhu, we all know what's going on. We all know the relationship between you and Huang Xinya."

"Because of your relationship, you strongly recommended her to be the lead actress in this movie. For the sake of her fame and past experiences, we have nothing to complain about."

After a pause, Mr. Zhu continued, "But now, we are in trouble because of such a woman. I don't think she is suitable for this role."

Mr. Wong didn't expect that Mr. Zhu's words would come to this point, and his face suddenly looked a little bad. However, Mr. Zhu's family background was no less than his, or even more than his. He was so angry that he didn't dare to act recklessly at this moment.

He could only say with a cold face, "Mr. Zhu, I know it's a little troublesome this time. But we have encountered this kind of thing before. I don't believe that we can't solve such a small doctor with so many people working together." Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "Of course we can solve the problem. But have you ever thought about the cost of solving these problems?"

"I investigated the young doctor you mentioned. He just came to the provincial capital half a year ago. Then, in a few months, he turned Rende Hall into the top Chinese medicine shop in the provincial capital; the female cosmetics of Lorenzo Road International also occupied the best sales market in the provincial capital; he even pulled down Zhang Binqiang, the former head of the Department of Sanity and even unified the underworld of the provincial capital." "To be able to do all these people in such a short period of time, do you, president Wang, still think that he is just a nobody?"

In the face of Mr. Zhu's interrogation, Mr. Wong was suddenly stunned. He did not investigate the identity and background of Zachary carefully, let alone know Zachary's real strength.

At this moment, after listening to Mr. Zhu's words, he felt that things were difficult to deal with. But Huang Xinya belonged to him, and she still couldn't let it go. She said firmly, "So what? He is just a novice in our entertainment industry. I don't believe that we can't defeat him."

At this point, other investors couldn't listen anymore. Mr. Liu said, "Mr. Wong, it's easy for you to say. We have fought with such people. The cost is much more than the cost of this film investment, and it also offends people. If that's the case, we might as well fire them directly."

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

...

Several other small investors immediately echoed.

Seeing this, Boss Zhu looked at the bald President Wang and said, "President Wang, our opinions have been made clear. Now that the two sides can't reach an agreement, let's vote."

"If you agree to reconcile with the other party, you don't need Huang Xinya's people. Raise your hands."

After that, Boss Zhu raised his hand first, and the rest of the small investors of the Discipline Commission also raised their hands in agreement.

As a result, only the bald President Wang did not raise his hand.

Mr. Zhu didn't have to continue. He made a decision directly and said, "Everyone's opinion is clear. Mr. Wong, please go and inform Huang Xinya to leave!"

Mr. Wong was still a little angry, and he was not willing to accept this result. He said, "But the list of the propaganda and actors of the film in advance have been announced. If it's changed now, I'm afraid..."

Boss Zhu slightly waved his hand and said, "The propaganda of the film in the early stage is still very little. If we change the film now, we will not lose much. If we go to the later stage, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome." "But..." Mr. Wong was still looking for an excuse.

This time, Boss Zhu interrupted him impatiently and said, "Boss Wang, if you insist on mixing personal affairs and commercial investment together, then this time, we think that you don't seem to be suitable for the film investment." This was the time to drive him away. Suddenly, President Wang's heart trembled. Although he was rich, this time's film investment could be said to be a sure-to-be deal. He had not reached the point where he would give up the opportunity to make money for Huang Xiya.

Hence, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll go inform Little Huang."

"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Wong. Please do it as soon as possible. After all, the crew has been delayed a lot during this period of time. The meeting is over." Mr. Zhu got up and left.

Zachary was not clear about the details of the meeting on the crew's side. However, the day after he sent the email, he received an email from the other side.

The other party agreed with Zachary's request and decided to replace Huang Xinya. At the same time, they invited Qiao Xiaoxiao to return to the crew, and even invited her to take the role of the leading actress.

This was also the decision made by Mr. Zhu and his colleagues. Anyway, since Huang Xinya would be replaced by another person, it was better for them to choose the Qiao Xiaoxiao, whom they were familiar with before. For one thing, Qiao Xiaoxiao's reputation was enough to support a movie at this level.

Secondly, it connected with the quarrel between Qiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Xinya. At this time, using the name of Qiao Xiaoxiao to replace Huang Xinya, it was undoubtedly another eye-catching stunt in the propaganda. Moreover, this was also for Zachary's sake to ease the tension between the two parties. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Zachary immediately contacted Lauren and Qiao Xiaoxiao and asked their opinions. In the end, Qiao Xiaoxiao agreed to take over the role of the female lead of the crew. At the same time, Lauren's previous advertising investment would continue to invest, or even increase the investment.

Therefore, Zachary immediately contacted the crew and told them the answers. The other side was very happy when they heard the news, so the two sides quickly agreed on the time and place. A press conference was held to officially announce what had happened this time.

As the news of the press conference spread, the provincial entertainment industry was suddenly in turmoil. Some time ago, Huang Xinya and Qiao Xiaoxiao had not yet finished their online abuse war, but now there was a sudden change in the crew. They directly announced that the roles were changed, and used Qiao Xiaoxiao to replace Huang Xinya, which was enough to attract the audience's appetite.

On the day of the press conference, the main investors of the crew, Mr. Zhu, the producer, and the director were all in place.

Zachary, together with Lauren and Qiao Xiaoxiao, attended the press conference together. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the press conference officially began.

Without too much hesitation and cover, Cui Peng, as the director and the spokesman, directly announced the replacement of Huang Xinya's role as soon as he came up. At the same time, he announced the matter that Qiao Xiaoxiao participated in the film as the leading actress.

Although many people had heard of this before, the official announcement at this moment still shocked a lot of people. For a time, all the questions were raised.

Cui Peng and others arrived in the industry, and they had already prepared for this. They responded to the reporters' questions in a steady way.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away!

Qiao Xiaoxiao seemed a little nervous. After all, this was the first time she acted in a movie, and she was the leading actress.

However, the journalists paid the most attention to the grievances between Qiao Xiaoxiao and Huang Xinya, as well as the reason why Qiao Xiaoxiao retired from the crew first, and now it was Qiao Xiaoxiao who replaced Huang Xinya and entered the crew. Cui Peng only gave a brief introduction to it because of work adjustment.

Just when the journalists were a little disappointed in this answer, suddenly, three figures came over and immediately caused a commotion.

Because the three people coming over turned out to be Huang Xinya, Huang Xinya's assistant with glasses, and Wang Dong, the second male lead.

Although Zachary did not have any special requirements, Boss Zhu still replaced Wang Dong and Huang Xinya, who had caused trouble this time. Of course, Wang Dong's reputation was not enough, so he did not attract much attention. But now, Wang Dong came to the site of the press conference with Huang Xinya, which was somewhat delusional. Many reporters threw cameras and microphones to Huang Xinya in a flash, and all kinds of problems came up in a flash. "Miss Huang, what do you think of this change of cast?"

"Miss Huang, why did you suddenly change the role? Is it because you have a conflict with the director?"

"Miss Huang, is there a contradiction between you and Miss Qiao? Is your contradiction the main cause of the change of cast this time?"

...

Faced with all kinds of questions, Huang Xinya glanced at the people on the stage and immediately said, "I will answer all the questions of the reporters and friends one by one. However, the main topics of my visit this time are to expose their shameless behavior and ugly face."

As soon as these words were said, the scene was in an uproar, and the reporters were even more excited. Obviously, such a exciting news was what they wanted.

At this moment, the faces of Mr. Zhu and the others on the stage could not help but become gloomy. Mr. Zhu whispered something to his assistant.

Soon, the bald President Wang, who was covered with sweat, came out in a hurry. Seeing Huang Xinya's appearance, he was shocked and quickly winked at Huang Xinya to let her leave.

However, at this time, Huang Xinya, who wanted to revenge, ignored Mr. Wong who had given up his bald head. She ignored his eyes and went straight to the front desk. Pointing at Mr. Zhu and Zachary and Qiao Xiaoxiao, she shouted to the reporters.

"Dear reporter friends, I, Huang Xinya, came to the press conference today to expose this group of people's hypocritical ugly faces in front of everyone, so that you can see their true faces."

Chapter 415

Chapter 415

Hearing this, Mr. Wong pointed to Huang Xinya and said, "Huang Xinya, don't talk nonsense." He was worried that Huang Xinya would expose the scandal between her and him. After all, he had a family. Seeing this, Huang Xinya sneered and said in a loud voice, "My reporter friends, the reason why Qiao Xiaoxiao changed the cast this time is that I have some conflicts with Qiao Xiaoxiao at the filming site."

"In the end, she did not repent. Instead, she called the company's helpers and made a big scene in the filming site. She even used their identity as an advertiser to force me to apologize to her. As for this matter, many people present saw it at that time. If you don't believe it, you can go to them for a confrontation."

Hearing Huang Xinya's words of turning the facts upside down, Zachary and Qiao Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly cooled down.

Mr. Zhu frowned and gave the assistant beside him a look. The other party understood and was going to call the security guards to directly drive them away.

But at this time, Zachary looked at Mr. Zhu and said, "Mr. Zhu, let that woman go on talking."

"Dr. Ching, but she..." Mr. Zhu said with some concern.

Zachary shook his head and said, "If we stop her directly with force now, I'm afraid people who don't know the reason will think that it's true and we made a mistake, so we resort to force. This is not only harmful to the reputation of Xiaoxiao and our Luo River Entertainment, but also to the following movies."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhu nodded. However, he was still a little worried and said, "But if we let her continue to hide, I'm afraid this woman will turn the tables on us and talk nonsense even more."

Zachary smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhu. I have prepared for this."

"Since Dr. Ching said so, I'm relieved." Boss Zhu smiled and was no longer worried. He let Huang Xinya go on.

Huang Xinya saw that the other party had no intention of stopping her and was even more excited. She continued, "At that time, Qiao Xiaoxiao threatened our crew as an advertiser and tried to drive me away. But the crew didn't agree at that time."

"So, we continued to shoot the film. As a result, they were full of resentment and deliberately used some means to interfere with our shooting process, constantly causing trouble for our crew. They even sent letters to the investor of the crew, threatening that they must replace me."

"This is not an entertainment company. Obviously, it is a hoodlum in the gang who used improper means to get rid of my position."

Huang Xinya's words immediately set the scene on fire, and all kinds of discussions became heated up.

When Huang Xinya saw this, she was even more proud and said, "In the end, the investor of the crew was under pressure, and finally, they could only choose to change the cast. This is all the process of the change." "Today, I mentioned this in front of everyone. I'm determined to offend the gangsters and gangsters, and I also want to reveal the true colors of Qiao Xiaoxiao and the Lorenzo Road Entertainment Company." As soon as she finished her words, excited reporters immediately rushed forward and crazily threw out a few questions. However, Huang Xinya did not answer, but looked at Zachary and others on the stage. When the reporters saw this, they turned their eyes to the stage one after another. The microphone was handed over and they asked various questions.

Of course, the most important question was, was what Huang Xinya said true?

Facing the reporters' questions and Huang Xinya's proud eyes, Mr. Zhu and others looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Zachary.

Zachary smiled lightly and made a gesture to be quiet, so as to calm the people on the scene down.

Then, he opened his mouth and said with a faint smile, "I really admire Miss Huang's eloquence very much. Black and white are reversed, and the right and wrong are indistinguishable. This kung fu is really amazing!"

As soon as these words were said, the crowd was suddenly shocked again and became lively.

Zachary then said, "Regarding what Miss Huang said about her conflict with Miss Qiao on the set, I admit that it's true."

"Look, he admitted it himself. This is a deliberate suppression against me!" Huang Xinya chimed in.

Zachary's eyes were cold, and he stared at Huang Xinya with his cold eyes. Suddenly, Huang Xinya felt cold all over and dared not make a sound.

Zachary snorted and continued, "I said it was true that there were conflicts, but other things were not what Miss Huang said. At that time, we did arrive at the set and asked her to apologize to Miss Qiao and make her ask for her expulsion." As soon as he said that, the reporters were all shocked. They didn't expect that Zachary would admit it personally.

"However!" Zachary immediately shouted, "The reason why I did that at that time was that there was a reason."

"Because at that time, Miss Huang took advantage of her identity as the leading actress to deliberately target Miss Qiao. She borrowed the scenes of the shooting, insulted or even beat Miss Qiao on purpose."

Before the reporters asked questions, Zachary waved his hand and said, "For this, I have the pictures taken at the scene as evidence."

Soon, a video appeared on the projector. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on it.

As the video played, a lot of people frowned. Because they could clearly see that in the plot of insulting or beating Qiao Xiaoxiao to play No. 4 girl, Huang Xinya deliberately asked the director to shoot repeatedly with the excuse of not doing well. They even saw the signs of swelling on Qiao Xiaoxiao's face.

Seeing this, some reporters and the audience on the scene looked at Huang Xiya with a somewhat unkind look.

When Huang Xinya saw this, she quickly shouted, "What is this? On the scene, a scene is more common than a dozen or even dozens of times. What's more, Qiao Xiaoxiao is a new actress. I am strictly asking her to do this for the quality of my work."

These words had won some people's approval. After all, Huang Xinya might have made things difficult for Zachary just by looking at the pictures. However, Zachary and the others seemed to have gone too far.

However, just as they were thinking this, Zachary snorted coldly and said, "In order to determine the quality of the film, don't you feel embarrassed if you tell us the reason for this high-sounding reason?" "Why, why should I blush? That was what I thought at that time." Huang Xinya argued.

"Humph, you are impenitent!" Zachary snorted and said, "I will expose your lies now and tell everyone why you did that at that time."

While speaking, Zachary waved his hand again, and another scene appeared in the video of the projector.

"Isn't, isn't this at Dr. Ching's Rende Hall?"

"The woman wearing the wide-brimmed cap is Miss Huang, isn't she?"

Soon after, someone recognized the scene.

As the video played, Zachary explained, "This was before the movie started, when Miss Huang went to my drugstore to see a doctor. At that time, Miss Huang didn't follow the rules of our drugstore, and used her identity as a movie star to cut the line. After being driven out by me, Miss Huang held a grudge against Miss Qiao of our entertainment company. So when she was on the set, she took revenge on Miss Qiao of our entertainment company."

Looking at the video, many reporters secretly nodded, and they had agreed with this fact in their hearts. After all, the video and words provided by Zachary were true and could be checked.

Seeing this, Huang Xinya became anxious and shouted, "You are talking nonsense. Seeing a doctor is seeing a doctor, and acting is acting. Why should you mix these two things together and say that I'm taking revenge. I clearly think for the quality of the film!"

Zachary snorted and said, "You're still quibbling! Do you want the quality of your film? Are you a professional, or the director is a professional? In the pictures just now, most of the time, the director has called you 'pass'. Why do you have to do it again?"

"One or two times is not enough, but why do you have so many times, and it's all about Qiao Xiaoxiao being bullied. Your so-called quality is all related to Qiao Xiaoxiao being bullied. At that time, other shots were shot by Director Cui who was not satisfied and asked to have one more shot, but you didn't want to let it go. Is this also a performance that requires quality?" Zachary was in high spirits and was not polite at all.

"You are talking nonsense!" Huang Xinya was already a little panic.

At this moment, Director Cui Peng said, "What Mr. Ching said just now did happen. At that time, before Miss Xiao entered the crew, Miss Huang's performance was very fast, almost one or two times. But after Miss Qiao came, she often asked for PUR. At the beginning, I thought her ideas had changed, and she was always striving for perfection. It was not until later that I saw the abnormality in it."

"You, you are colluding with each other. You deliberately frame me up." Huang Xinya had begun to importune.

In this regard, Zachary was too lazy to refute. The reporters were not fools. Facing such a series of pushing and evidence, how could they not understand what had happened? It should be what Zachary said!

Seeing that the reporters had changed their stance, Huang Xinya was really in a panic. She said in a panic, "You, you are deliberately targeting me. Otherwise, how can you explain the fact that you used mafia means to force our crew to change the cast?"

Another question was thrown out, and the journalists' interests were piqued again.

Hearing this, Zachary's eyes became cold and his tone became serious. He shouted in a cold voice, "How dare you say that? After the conflict, the crew chose to protect you. Originally, everything was over."

"However, you, Huang Xinya, don't know how to repent. Instead, in the newspaper, class, and television, you are talking nonsense, slandering our Falling Water Entertainment Company and Qiao Xiaoxiao. How do you think we should explain your slander and slander like this!"

Huang Xinya was stunned at once. She stuttered and didn't know how to refute. After all, some time ago, everyone had heard about the heated entertainment world's network battle events. In particular, Huang Xinya's slander of Qiao Xiaoxiao in various media channels was clear to everyone.

Chapter 416

Chapter 416

When Zachary saw this, he snorted and said, "I didn't get even with you for that slander. How dare you bring it up?"

At this moment, three policemen in uniforms came to the door and walked toward Huang Xinya with a serious look. They showed their documents and looked at her seriously, "Huang Xinya, since you are suspected of defamation of the reputation of others, please go back with us to accept the investigation."

"I, I didn't!" Seeing the police, Huang Xinya was a little flustered.

However, the police didn't care about this. They took out the handcuffs coldly and said, "Miss Huang, if you don't want to cooperate, we have the right to take you back by force." Upon hearing this, Huang Xinya immediately became soft and didn't dare to say anything.

A policeman held down Huang Xinya and was going to take her away. And the other two policemen walked over to Wang Dong and Huang Xinya's assistants.

Seeing the police coming over, Wang Dong was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly. He waved his hand and said, "Comrade police, this, this has nothing to do with me!"

The police officer said coldly, "As far as we know, many news on the Internet released by Huang Xinya was operated by you."

Wang Dong's face changed, and he waved his hand and said, "I, I don't know this. I just listened to her and sent something casually. I don't know what it is exactly for!"

Huang Xinya didn't expect Wang Dong to be this kind of person. She immediately spat hard and said, "Wang Dong, you coward. When you fawned on me and asked you to act as the second male lead, why didn't you say this? You bastard!" Wang Dong couldn't listen to these at the moment. He was still explaining to the police, "Police, I have nothing to do with slander!"

The policeman was a little impatient. He directly took a quick step forward, handcuffed Wang Dong, and then shouted coldly, "Go!"

At this time, Dean Liu from wide-electric took a look at Zachary. There was a flash of light in his eyes, and then he coughed, attracting the attention of reporters. Then he said in his official tone, "As the director of wide-electric in the provincial capital, I, Liu Yuanwu, want to avoid bad influences on these bad-evil stars. I decide to close them off and prohibit them from participating in any TV program in our provincial capital."

As soon as he said that, he seemed to have sprinkled salt on his wound, which made Huang Xinya and Wang Dong, who had just been brought to the door by the police, lose their legs and almost fall to the ground.

As Huang Xinya and others were taken away, the press conference finally returned to normal. Qiao Xiaoxiao's reputation was restored, and the rest of the time was to highlight the movie "Eighteen-year-old Young Shang".

After the press conference, the provincial capital the next day and the major news sections of the entertainment world were almost all occupied by what happened at the press conference yesterday.

Among them, the various conflicts and abusive battles between Huang Xinya and Qiao Xiaoxiao finally came to light and the truth was revealed. Those who had been slandering Qiao Xiaoxiao on the Internet and promoted Huang Xinya all lurked and didn't say anything at the moment.

With the establishment of Huang Xinya, her assistant and Wang Dong's slander and slander charges, the public opinion was completely one-sided and they were criticized for what they had done.

As this incident became popular at the same time, it was Zachary and Lauren's Lorenzo Road Entertainment Company. This newly-established entertainment company let every artist see the strength of the company, and the company's boss attached great importance to the employees.

They could do so much for Qiao Xiaoxiao so that she would not be bullied and reputation would be damaged. Such a conscientious company immediately attracted a lot of artists to secretly inquire about the situation here. Some of them were decisive and bold. They immediately terminated their contract with the original company and joined the Water Luo Entertainment Company.

Lauren also put forth her strength one after another. Without hesitation, she invited a famous local music artist from the first-line in Hasbrouck to tailor a album for Qiao Xiaoxiao, where she joined the company for the first time.

Just when Lorenzo Road Entertainment was pushing Qiao Xiaoxiao with all its might, a piece of good news came. Qiao Xiaoxiao got the best leading female singer candidate for the joint selection of the five provincial TV stations and invited Qiao Xiaoxiao to attend the award ceremony.

Although it was only a nominations, when Zachary and Lin Qingyu looked at the other contestants, they were almost sure that Qiao Xiaoxiao would win the Best New Group's Best Actor Award.

Such awards were very important for Qiao Xiaoxiao, who was still a newcomer. So, before the filming, Qiao Xiaoxiao was ready to attend the award ceremony this time.

As the new disruptors in the entertainment industry, Lauren and Zachary, as well as the bosses of Qiao Xiaoxiao's brokerage company, also received the invitation from the committee.

So the three of them took part in the award ceremony.

The award ceremony would take place in Nan'an City in the next province. It would not be too far if the plane went there. The three people booked the ticket to Nan'an City in the morning and arrived there at noon. After a simple lunch, they went straight to the Reward Committee.

After a makeup, at seven o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially began. Meanwhile, it was a live broadcast on the five provincial TV stations.

Without any surprise, Qiao Xiaoxiao easily won the award of the Best New Group female singer. She sang a single song of hers on the spot, which was in a white dress, pure and sunny to her. Plus, it was a good song. Compared with some senior singers, they won the praises of a lot of TV broadcasts and other stars.

After the awards ceremony, there was a banquet as usual. At the banquet, it was naturally a good opportunity for artists to chat with companies, flattering each other, or to make friends with each other. As one of the spotlights of tonight's party, naturally, Qiao Xiaoxiao was greeted by many people. Lauren, a great beauty, was rich, powerful, and beautiful, which also attracted many people's attention. However, not many people knew that Zachary, a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and the provincial capital, was in this place. However, he was very relaxed and found a corner to eat and drink. When Zachary was eating and drinking happily, a young man in a famous brand suit, with a smile on his face, walked towards Qiao Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the man, many artists around him greeted him with a smile and even a slightly respectful expression.

However, the young man just nodded slightly, then looked straight at Qiao Xiaoxiao. He walked up to her, reached out his right hand, and said softly, "Miss Qiao, can you dance with me?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao smiled, raised the red wine glass in her hand, and refused, "I'm sorry, I drank too much, I'm sorry!"

This was an excuse for refusal. If it was an ordinary person, they would smile and leave. After all, there were many men who invited Qiao Xiao to dance today, many of whom were the bosses of big companies and famous stars. However, they were rejected by Qiao Xiaoxiao.

But when the young man in front of her heard that Qiao Xiaoxiao refused him, his eyes flashed, his brows frowned slightly, and he said again, "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Li Yan. I want to invite you to dance with me."

Qiao Xiaoxiao also frowned slightly. She didn't expect that there would be someone giving in to her on such an occasion. However, a smile quickly returned to her face and she said, "Director Lee, I'm sorry. I've really drunk too much."

As she said that, Qiao Xiaoxiao turned and was about to leave. Her impression of Li Yan was not very good because she could clearly smell the smell of women's perfume on this guy's body.

Seeing that Qiao Xiaoxiao refused him again, Li Yan's expression turned cold. He raised his voice and said, "Miss Qiao, are you not going to give me face?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao was stunned. When he turned around and saw Li Yan's expression, he frowned and became even more dissatisfied.

At this time, Lauren came over with a smile and a glass of wine. When passing by Qiao Xiaoxiao, she introduced her to Qiao Xiaoxiao in a low voice, "This Li Yan is the only son of Li Bo, the vice mayor of Nanan City. He is a famous playboy in Nanan City."

After hearing Lauren's introduction, Qiao Xiaoxiao frowned even more. He was more and more dissatisfied with Li Yan.

Lin Mingyu raised her wine glass to Li Yan with a smile and said, "It turns out to be Young Master Lee. Xiaoxiao drank too much. I'm sorry that I can't dance with you. On behalf of her, I propose a toast to Young Master Lee to apologize." Then, Lauren looked up and drank up the red wine.

But Li Yan, who was opposite him, looked even more gloomy. His eyes fell firmly on Qiao Xiaoxiao, and his voice almost squeezed out from his teeth, "Drink a glass of wine with an old woman like this, just like sending me away. You look down on me too much."

Although Qiao Xiaoxiao had been in the entertainment circle for several years, he was still a little flustered when he met people like Li Yan. "Director Lee, that's not what I mean. I really..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Yan interrupted Qiao Xiaoxiao with his scarlet eyes and shouted, "Don't talk about those useless things for me. I'll give you one last chance to go to my room."

This guy didn't hide anything at all and spoke out his desire in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning and wanted to leave. But at the thought of this guy's identity, she felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Lauren came over again. But this time, her face turned cold. She looked at Li Yan and said: "Young Noble Li has drunk too much. You'd better go back to your room to rest."

As she spoke, Lauren pulled Qiao Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave. She was already giving him face in consideration of his status, so she didn't point it out bluntly.

However, Li Yan was used to being arrogant in Nan'an City, so he wouldn't give up at this moment. Seeing that Qiao Xiaoxiao was about to leave, he slapped Lauren and said, "Old woman, did I let you talk? Shut up!"

At the same time, his other hand directly grabbed Qiao Xiaoxiao's arm.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, a cold snort was heard. Then a figure appeared in front of Lauren and Qiao Xiaoxiao at an unimaginable speed. It was Zachary, who was sitting in the corner.

Chapter 416

Chapter 417

Chapter 417

Pa!

With a crisp sound, Li Yan slapped one of Lauren's palms. Suddenly, he felt that it was as hard as a stone, and he grimaced in pain.

He covered his aching right hand. After a burst of "ouch", Li Yan then turned his eyes to the young man in front of him.

Looking at Zachary's not very expensive suit, Li Yan's eyes flashed with disdain and he said in a cold voice, "Who are you? How dare you ruin my good business?"

At this time, Lauren also quickly got close to Zachary's ear and told him the identity of Li Yan.

Hearing this, Zachary's gaze froze. He snorted and said, "So it turns out that he's another good-for-nothing who's wasting his food."

Hearing this, Li Yan's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly to Zachary, "Kid, take back your words now and kneel on the ground and apologize to me. I can forgive you, otherwise, you will definitely regret what you just said." "Really?" Zachary said coldly, "I think you will regret it."

"You don't know what's good for you!" Li Yan snorted coldly and then waved his hand. Immediately, two strong men and bodyguards, whose muscles were still trembling, came over. From the look in their eyes, it could be seen that they were real masters of fighting.

Li Yan glanced at Zachary proudly and then said to the bodyguard, "Throw this guy out and give him a good beating. Then bring this woman to my room."

"Yes, Young Master Lee!" The two bodyguards answered in unison.

One of them clenched his fists so tightly that there were cracking sounds. He looked fiercely at Zachary, and the other went to Qiao Xiaoxiao. "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

He punched at Zachary's face with a fierce and fast speed.

Even a normal policeman with a good constitution would not be able to dodge this punch. However, at this moment, Zachary did not have any expression of fear on his face. He looked at the fist that was attacking him lightly, stretched out his right hand casually, and grabbed it with his fingers.

Such a seemingly casual movement actually locked the other party's wrist accurately, which made the bodyguard stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a trace of anger. He twisted his body, exerted force again, and approached Zachary.

However, before he could launch his attack, he felt a tremendous force coming along his wrist.

Then, he lost his balance and spun in the air. He felt dizzy and dizzy. Then he flew out and smashed on a table full of wine, smashing into pieces.

This time, the people around were dumbfounded. They didn't believe that the thin Zachary could actually lift up the strong man, who was almost 1. 9 meters tall, with one hand and then throw him out like a chain ball.

The amazing scene made Li Yan and the other bodyguard stunned for three seconds before they came to their senses. "Boom!" "Boom!"

Another bodyguard rushed towards Zachary with no reservation. He used all his strength and hit Zachary like a fierce beast.

In the face of such a fierce attack, Zachary slightly tilted his body, and his arm made a perfect curve in the air, then slipped half a circle around the other side's neck. Finally, when it reached the back of the other side's neck, he suddenly warmed up and used more force.

The bodyguard lost his balance in an instant. He staggered and fell forward. Zachary then stepped out and stepped on the back of the bodyguard, which directly threw him to the ground with a painful grunt. It turned out that he had passed

out.

In less than three minutes, two strong and strong bodyguards were defeated by Zachary.

Zachary clapped his hands and looked at Li Yan with his cold eyes.

At this time, Li Yan finally felt a chill and his body shivered, but he did not retreat. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said with a proud look, "You, you're a little bit strong, so it's nothing. I don't believe that you dare to touch me. That woman, I'm going to have sex tonight."

Hearing that, Qiao Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with anger.

A cold light flashed in Zachary's eyes, and he shouted coldly, "Get out of here!"

"How dare you scold me! Believe it or not, I can kill you." Li Yan was still arrogant.

The cold light in Zachary's eyes had a horrible killing intent. He stepped forward and made a move with a few pieces of speed in his hand.

Before Li Yan could see Zachary's action clearly, he felt that he was slapped on the face, and then a crisp sound rang out.

Touching his burning cheek, a stream of angry blood rushed to his heart, Li Yan roared: "You, you dare to hit me, I want you to die!" Pa!

Another slap on Li Yan's other cheek.

"I want to kill him..."

Li Yan roared wildly, but before he could finish his words, another crisp slap came. He was slapped on the face again.

"How dare you..."

Pa!

It was another slap, which was extremely clear and melodious.

Pa!

...

All the people present were stunned, and they were also dumbfounded. They could not believe that someone would slap others like this on such an occasion. And the person who was slapped was a famous playboy in Nan'an City, the deputy mayor Li Bo.

Some people wanted to intercede for Zachary and make peace with him. However, when they saw Zachary's cold eyes, they did not dare to go forward. They could only lower their heads and silently pretend that they did not see the situation in front of them.

In the end, when Li Yan was slapped so many times that his whole face turned into a pig's face, Zachary stopped and shouted coldly, "Get out!"

At this time, Li Yan was really afraid of being slapped in the face. He didn't dare to say a word and turned around to leave in disgrace. However, there was still hatred in his cold eyes.

With such an interlude, Zachary and the others didn't want to stay in the banquet anymore.

The three of them left the banquet and headed for the hotel that had been pre-planned a long time ago.

On the way, Qiao Xiaoxiao lowered his head, and his mood was a little low. He whispered, "Mr. Ching, Sister Lim, I'm sorry. I, I'm sorry to make you trouble."

Lauren gently took Qiao Xiaoxiao into her arms and said softly, "Silly child, what are you talking about?"

Zachary also said, "Xiaoxiao, don't say such stupid words. You didn't make any mistakes in this matter. It was Li Yan, the son of a rich family, who was at fault. You don't have to apologize to anyone."

There was a grateful and touched look in Qiao Xiaoxiao's eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted up slightly.

The two comforted Qiao Xiaoxiao all the way to the hotel. Lauren finally sighed softly and whispered to Zachary, "The other is the son of the deputy mayor, and it is obvious that he is not willing to leave the matter at first sight. I'm afraid it's still a trouble. Let's have a night off tonight and buy the earliest flight ticket tomorrow to fly back, in case there will be some trouble."

Zachary nodded and said, "Well, that's the best."

Although he was not afraid of Li Yan, he didn't want to make more trouble.

At this time, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the hotel. This five-star hotel was located in the prosperous area of the city center. Although it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, it was still bustling with cars and vehicles.

The three of them were about to walk into the hotel. At this time, there came a sudden "bang" sound like firecrackers exploding in the mall opposite the hotel.

Upon hearing the sound, Lauren could not help but ask, "Why is there a firecracker in the center of this big city?"

Zachary also looked in that direction. But soon, he fixed his eyes on that direction, and his eyes became tense.

Because at this moment, in the opposite shopping mall, the noise was getting louder and louder, and the crowd began to crowd and ran around in all directions. At the same time, the voices of "Help, help!" were also transmitted to Zachary's

ears.

Seeing this, Zachary looked at Lauren with a serious face and said, "Sister Lim, go back to your room with Xiaoxiao and lock the door behind you and don't come out. You must also wear the jade pendant I gave you." After that, Zachary ran quickly in the direction of the shopping mall across the street.

Although Lauren was anxious and worried, she obeyed Zachary's words and quickly returned to the hotel room with Qiao Xiaoxiao.

However, the closer Zachary was to the shopping mall, the more depressed he was.

Looking at the people around him who were panicked and shouting for help and constantly running away, Zachary was sure that something big must have happened in the mall, and it was very likely to be shot.

The more they went to the shopping mall, the more chaotic the scene became. The crowd was crowded, the cries and the cars were disturbed because of the crowd. The scene was getting more and more crowded, more and more chaotic. Zachary's heart sank and he increased his speed. His figure was extremely athletic, just like a dragon swimming into the water. He used the railings on both sides of the street, the cars and the sign to quickly rush to the direction of the gunshots.

Five minutes later, Zachary stepped on the tip of his toes and stood at the top of a telephone pavilion in front of the mall.

Looking down from a height, Zachary could clearly see that the mall was in chaos, and a crowd of people squeezed out from several small doors. The people in front of the mall were also in chaos. In the sound of crying, many people fell to the ground and were trampled directly by the crowd of people behind them. They had been trampled many times.

At this moment, another gunshot sounded in the mall, immediately making the already crowded crowd even more chaotic. Zachary's ears moved, and his eyes quickly swept through the crowd and locked on the target in the direction of the gunshots.

Soon, Zachary's eyes moved and locked on to his target. Through the giant transparent glass of the outer wall of the mall, he clearly saw three men in black. The two men carried a white-haired old man and rushed to the top floor of the mall at a very fast speed.

The last man was holding a 54-yuan pistol in his hand. He shot at the mall in the rear from time to time, causing a greater chaos.

Zachary's eyes suddenly narrowed. He fumbled for the Nightwolf certificate in his internal bag, and had a sense of responsibility in his heart.

With his pupils slightly shrinking, he locked on to his target. Zachary jumped down from the telephone pavilion and fell into the crowded crowd below. He turned into a fish and quickly rushed into the shopping mall.

Chapter 418

Chapter 418

There were many people in the mall, but the door was narrow. When the gunshots rang out, panic-stricken people crowded over at the same time, and suddenly it was crowded. Zachary was going against the flow in the crowd. When he was about to rush to the entrance, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a leather shirt pushed the crowd away and squeezed out of the mall under the support of four or five bodyguards in black.

The scene was already chaotic. After being pushed by these men in black, many people directly fell down, which made the crowded entrance of the shopping mall appear even more chaotic.

But the middle-aged man and the black-coated bodyguards didn't care about this. After going out of the shopping mall, they played the same move just now. Relying on the strong bodies of the bodyguards, they pushed the people in front of them away. If they couldn't, they would be pushed down directly.

The people who were pushed aside were indignant and shouted abuse one after another.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned cold and he was about to lose his temper. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he restrained himself. After a cold snort, he continued to squeeze forward under the protection of the black- clothed bodyguard.

Without paying any attention to the few silver-haired elders in front of them, they directly squeezed their way over, triggering even more angry curses. There were even some who casually threw the items they had just bought towards the male and the bodyguards.

In the face of the debris, the bodyguards around quickly surrounded the middle-aged man and blocked in the middle.

Then he gave a cold look and punched the man who was smashing things in front of him, and then shouted, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die. Get out of the way!" After that, he pushed his way forward unscrupulously, regardless of the old man and children who were pushed down by them.

"Mom!" Suddenly, a child's cry came from the front. Looking around, she saw a lovely little girl of five or six years old sitting on the ground, rubbing her eyes and crying.

And just behind the little girl, the bodyguards had already squeezed in, and they had no intention of stopping at all. Seeing such a cute child was going to be trampled, the surrounding people could not help but exclaim and shout loudly. But at this moment, there was another gunshot in the mall behind him. The middle-aged man and the bodyguards immediately sped up and rushed straight forward.

"Little Xin!" Upon seeing this, an incomparably panicked female voice burst forth from the crowd on the side.

A young woman with dishevelled hair squeezed towards the direction of the little girl. However, as thin and weak as she was, she couldn't squeeze over in the face of the tide of people.

They could only watch as the group of black-coated bodyguards quickly rushed toward the little girl.

The bodyguards in black had to protect the middle-aged man inside, isolate the crowd around them, and pay attention to the sound of gunfire from time to time. They didn't notice the little girl lying on the ground in front of them at all. "Little Xin!"

The young woman's heart-wrenching desperate roar sounded in the crowd, which finally made the group of bodyguards in black stop slightly and detect the abnormal situation in front of them.

However, right now, it was already too late. The crowd was like a raging wave, unstoppable as it swept towards that little girl. The tragedy was about to happen.

Seeing this, Zachary's pupils shrank. He put forth his strength, mobilized the smell of herbs, and quickly pushed away the people around him. With a gust of wind under his feet, he flew toward the little girl. He stretched out his arms and finally lifted the little girl up before the group of bodyguards stepped down.

However, just as he stood up with the child in his arms, the bodyguards behind him also rushed toward him. The leading bodyguard's face was twitching, and he shouted fiercely and rudely, "Don't block the way, get out of my way!" As he spoke, he threw out his arm as thick as a bowl and threw a punch at Zachary's face.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Zachary flew up and kicked hard on the belly of the first bodyguard. The bodyguard groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body fell backward in a tremendous trend. Suddenly, several bodyguards behind him and the well-dressed man were knocked to the side, howling on the ground.

"Who are you? Arrest him!" The middle-aged man who was hit was quickly lifted up by the bodyguards. Immediately, his face was full of anger. He waved his fat fingers and pointed at Zachary and shouted. The bodyguards immediately got up and rushed at Zachary. Zachary raised his eyebrows in anger. He held the little girl with one hand and grabbed a pair of pants that was scattered on the ground by the other hand.

His pants were originally soft, but Zachary shook his arm and rolled them up. At the same time, he injected the smell of herbs into his pants and instantly turned them into a whip. With a gust of wind, the whip flew towards the bodyguards. The completely stiff whip, coupled with Zachary's great strength, knocked a few of the bodyguards to the ground in an instant. Their faces were red and swollen. They fell to the ground, and a few of their teeth were knocked off. They were dizzy for a while.

In less than a minute, several bodyguards were beaten black and blue by Zachary and lay on the ground howling.

When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help applauding and applauding. It seemed that they had forgotten the danger behind them.

Taking advantage of the peaceful flow of people, the young woman with dishevelled hair finally squeezed over. She hugged the little girl and kissed the face of the child hard for a few times. Then she burst into tears with her head in her arms. After crying for a while, the young married woman calmed down a little. She smoothed the bangs on her forehead, revealing her fine white forehead, and said to Zachary, "Thank you for saving my daughter, thank you!" Before the young woman finished her grateful words, the middle-aged man on the other side flushed and pointed at Zachary and shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you hit my man? Do you know who I am?"

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

Zachary stared at him coldly, and the murderous look in his eyes shocked the fat middle-aged man. He instantly shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The middle-aged man still wanted to say something, but at this moment, a gunshot came from the shopping mall behind him.

Suddenly, the crowd, which had just calmed down a little, was immediately plunged into panic and chaos. Screams mixed with people's screams, forming a chaotic hell at the bottom of the mall. Seeing this, Zachary's eyes focused. He quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed into the mall.

After hearing the gunshot, the middle-aged man who was about to lose his temper suddenly became frightened and squeezed his way forward with all his strength.

However, without the bodyguards to open the way for him, he himself was too fat. He began to pant before he could run a few steps. He couldn't squeeze through other people at all. Suddenly, the middle-aged man was anxious. Regardless of other things, he shouted loudly, "I am a government official, I am your leader. Let me go first, let me go first!"

The bodyguards behind him, who were enduring the pain, also opened their mouths and roared, "Let the leader go first, the leader goes first!"

"Bullsh*t!"

"What leader? Get lost!"

"The one who stepped on this official."

...

As a result, the middle-aged man's shout caused a rebound. The crowd was even more crowded. Some people even deliberately rushed toward the middle-aged man and took the opportunity to kick him from behind. On the other side, Zachary pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the shopping mall with difficulty. He glanced at it quickly and then quickly rushed up the stairs.

When he reached the second floor, the crowd had begun to become sparse. The police in the mall also quickly organized people to retreat. Seeing that Zachary was going to go against the order at this time, they immediately stopped him. "The gangster has a gun in his hand. Don't go up. Go back quickly, go back quickly."

Zachary glanced up, but he couldn't see any trace of the gangsters. He became anxious because he didn't want to be entangled with them.

She turned around and glanced around. Her eyes lit up and finally landed in a corner. It was the fire stairs of the shopping mall. It was basically locked, so there was no one there at all.

Zachary rushed over quickly, opened the door with the lock with one punch, and then rushed upstairs quietly along the fire stairs.

When he was on the fifth floor, Zachary's ears moved and he heard the sound of something moving. Immediately, he stopped and sneaked into the fifth floor.

The fifth floor was the boutique market of the shopping mall, where all the products were domestic and international brands. There were not many people who came. At this time, there was not a single person on the fifth floor, and the place was quiet.

He secretly poked his head out from the stairs. Zachary took a quick glance, but he didn't find anyone.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, because there were many large furniture appliances in it, and many dead corners were blocked, so he couldn't see them at all. Therefore, Zachary let go of the smell of herbs and looked around. However, as soon as the smell of herbs was released, Zachary noticed that several people were coming up from another staircase.

They were the black-robed man from the Three People, whom Zachary had seen outside, and the silver-haired old man.

They came to the fifth floor and did not find Zachary, so they were slightly relieved. They knocked the old man out and threw him on a big bed. Then they sat down on the sofa.

One of them, a tall and strong man in black, said in an incomprehensible tone, "Brother, with our skills, why do we need to escape like this?"

Another short and thin man in black also said, "Yes, big brother! The several policemen below are not a threat to us at all. Just kill them and rush out."

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Zachary suddenly became nervous. Obviously, these three people were not ordinary criminals. They were still deliberately hiding their strength up to now.

The big brother they talked about was exactly the man in black who Zachary saw outside the last hall with a gun.

The eldest brother shouted, "Our purpose this time is not only to kidnap this old man, but also to confuse the police and make them unable to detect our identity."

"If we go all out, with our strength, the other party won't even need to guess to know who we are," the big brother said.

Hearing this, Zachary was even more surprised. These three people were really not simple. It seemed that there were other secrets behind this matter.

Chapter 419

Chapter 419

After hearing the words of the leader, the man in black said, "Big brother, it's my fault that I didn't think it through."

The short and thin man in black muttered, but he was still a little unhappy. He complained, "This time, we're really unlucky to kidnap such an old man. Unfortunately, he was discovered by others, and the result was so big. We can't use our real strength. It's really depressing."

"That's enough, Third Brother. Don't complain anymore." The eldest shot a glare at the lanky man in black and said.

The tall and strong man in black immediately asked, "Brother, what should we do now? If we continue to delay, the police will come more and more people. At that time, even if we take serious action, it will be difficult for us to escape." The leader of the men in black smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have a plan."

"Big brother, what's the plan?" The short, thin man in black asked.

The leader of the black-clad men did not answer. Instead, he turned to look at the unconscious silver-haired old man and said, "You will know when the time comes. Now the most important thing is to watch the old man. He is the one whom the boss wants."

"A smelly old man, I really don't know what the people above think. What do I need him for?" The short and thin third brother muttered.

The leader patted him and said, "It's the boss's idea. Don't make wild guesses."

"Second Bro, go guard the stairway. Don't let anyone come up." The eldest brother instructed.

The stocky second brother nodded, took out a 54-yuan pistol in his hand, and guarded the stairs sideways.

The eldest turned to the third younger brother and said, "The third younger brother, go to check it out and see if there is anyone."

Third Brother got up and wandered around the building for inspection. Zachary could see that although the other party's attitude was a bit frivolous, his posture definitely did not belong to a professional person.

Because this floor is very large and there are a lot of big pieces of furniture inside, there are many places that are blocked. The 3rd brother's speed of checking has slowed down as well.

Zachary hid on the side of the fire stairs, and he also shrank his body into the fire stairs. He was ready to retreat a little to avoid being discovered by the other party.

But just as Zachary was about to step back, suddenly, through a gap, he saw a figure swaying behind a tall stand-stand in the back of the sofa where the group of men in black were seated.

All of a sudden, Zachary was shocked.

When he was just ready to use the aura of herbs to investigate, the other party just came up, and the aura was not fully released, so Zachary did not find the figure behind the cabinet.

At this moment, the figure also heard the conversation of the other party, knowing that the third brother was checking, so he moved quietly, and began to hide from the back of the cabinet to the vacant space of the furniture in the deeper part.

However, what made Zachary both surprised and anxious was that the woman was about twenty years old. Her hair was tied up behind her head and she looked at the place where the gangster was at through the gap between her eyes. However, she was not idle. She turned on her mobile phone, aimed in the direction of the gangster, and started to shoot secretly.

Seeing this, Zachary couldn't help but feel anxious for this woman. At this time, this woman was still in the mood to take pictures.

Zachary was thinking about how to remind the woman to leave quickly. But at this time, the sound of a collision was particularly obvious in this quiet environment.

Zachary was stunned and looked in the direction of the woman. At this time, a cabinet behind her might not be set firmly, and it was accidentally bumped into by her while she was retreating. Suddenly, there was a crash.

As soon as the voice sounded, the woman's face changed dramatically. But she was decisive. She put away her mobile phone, turned around, and ran to the fire stairs.

When the three gangsters heard the sound, they were suddenly shocked. Then, the short and thin Third Brother stamped his feet on the ground and rushed toward the woman at a very fast speed.

Zachary was shocked by his flexible agility and running speed. He narrowed his eyes and became more cautious.

This was because Third Brother's speed was amazing. He was not much slower than the toy boy Gilbert. Zachary was a little surprised.

However, it was not the time to be surprised, because the woman had already rushed toward the place where Zachary was hiding. Behind her, the short and thin Third Brother, with a grim smile on his mouth, had already rushed to the distance of less than three meters behind the woman.

Laosan stamped on the ground, and his speed increased again. When the woman was about to rush into the stairs, he had already jumped behind the woman. His skinny hands and claws were like steel claws, clawing toward the woman's back. The woman felt the wind behind her, and her eyes almost showed a desperate expression.

But at this time, the woman suddenly felt a flash in front of her, and a black shadow rushed out quickly. It bypassed the woman and rushed straight to the short, thin third brother behind her. Zachary, who suddenly rushed out, was also shocked. He turned his palm into a claw, changed his direction slightly, and grabbed Zachary's heart.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

This blow was fast and vicious, incomparably vicious. With the strength of Laosan, he could even directly break the heart of an ordinary person.

Laosan showed a grim smile at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have seen the black shadow in front of him, whose heart had been crushed by him. The black shadow died painfully.

But just as he was about to succeed, he suddenly felt that his claws touched an invisible membrane and actually blocked his attack.

At this moment, Zachary's attack had already hit Laosan. A straight punch came and went, accurately and fiercely hitting Laosan's heart.

Laosan felt a sudden tightness in his throat. He seemed to suffocate all of a sudden. He spit out a mouthful of air and then passed out.

After knocking the third brother out, Zachary quickly turned to the woman and said, "Get out of here quickly and hide well!" Then he released the breath of herbs and attacked the eldest brother who was sitting on the sofa.

Behind him, the woman who had just come to her senses did not leave at this moment. Instead, there was a gleam of light in her eyes. She once again turned on the camera on her mobile phone and began to shoot in the direction of Zachary. Zachary did not know what was going on behind him and did not have time to investigate the situation here. Just now, Zachary and Third Brother fought very quickly, but the eldest and second brothers had obviously already noticed Zachary's presence.

Without waiting for Zachary to rush over, Second, who was standing at the stairs, turned around and raised his hand to shoot Zachary rapidly.

Zachary's body swayed and he kept dodging. But obviously, the opponent was a master of shooting. When he was shooting Zachary, he also predicted the direction of his movement and shot the bullet.

Therefore, although Zachary's movement was fast, he was still shot twice by the other party.

Because the two guns were protected by the shield of the aura of herbs, they didn't cause any harm to Zachary. However, Zachary knew that if he was shot too much, his own shield of the aura of herbs would be useless.

At this time, the Big Boss, who had just realized what was going on, also picked up the gun at his hand and started shooting at Zachary quickly.

Seeing this, Zachary knew that he could not drag it on any longer. He frantically activated the aura of hundreds of herbs, forming a thick shield in front of him, and then quickly rushed forward. "Bang bang bang!"

In a short distance of less than 100 meters, a burst of intense gunshots rang out.

Zachary felt that the protective cover in front of him had been shot at least seven or eight times, but it was still able to hold on. At this time, he was already less than five meters away from the second brother.

At this moment, the gun clip in Second's hand was empty. In the face of Zachary's rapid attack, he had no time to change the clip. He threw away the clip in his hand, wiped it on his waist, held a dagger with the opposite side, and rushed toward Zachary.

The second brother was tall, but his speed and agility were not slow. In his hand, the small dagger turned into a swimming dragon, almost along the vital parts of Zachary's body, constantly swaying.

The skill of this dagger was almost as good as that of Silas. Thinking of this, Zachary was both surprised and confused. The three people's forces were extraordinary, and he didn't know what kind of force they were backed by.

Second's strength was not bad, but he still had no chance to win against Zachary. He could only slip through Zachary's vital parts with his dagger every time, but Zachary hit him in the vital parts one by one. Zachary knocked him out on the ground in less than ten moves.

When the eldest brother saw this, his eyes narrowed, and he did not directly confront Zachary. Instead, he quickly retreated and moved toward the old man.

Seeing this, Zachary felt that something was wrong and hurriedly increased his speed. However, the other party was much closer to the old man. The big hand of the eldest grabbed the old man's neck directly with his left hand and lifted him up.

The old man was originally in a coma, but at this moment, he was gripped by the neck. He immediately felt his breathing become labored and he let out an instinctive groan of pain.

At the same time, the boss looked at Zachary and shouted, "Stop, or I'll strangle him!"

Zachary's eyes darkened and he had no choice but to stop in his tracks. He looked coldly at the leader in black opposite him.

The eldest brother raised his hand and shot Zachary in the heart. However, he was blocked by Zachary's shield with the smell of herbs in front of him.

Seeing this, the eldest brother's look became serious and he said, "I didn't expect to meet a cultivator here."

Hearing the word "Cultivator", Zachary's eyes moved and he said, "Are you also cultivators? Using the methods of cultivators to deal with ordinary people, isn't that a bit too much for you?"

"You don't need to worry about whether we are cultivators or not." The Boss shouted. "But today, mind your own business. Whether or not you are a cultivator or not, you have to die." Zachary's expression froze.

"Remove the protective shield in front of you!" The elder raised his gun at Zachary and shouted fiercely.

The corner of Zachary's eyes twitched, and he moved his legs slightly. The strength of his muscles was accumulated to the extreme, and he was ready to burst out in an instant to save the old man from the hands of the eldest brother.

Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Seeing that Zachary didn't say anything, the chief roared again, "Cancel your protective shield!"

As of this moment, the man's body trembled slightly, and the old man was now a bit farther away from him.

Seeing this, Zachary made up his mind. His tense legs suddenly exerted force, and his whole body turned into a sharp arrow from the string, shooting toward the boss. But the boss was also very alert. At the moment when Zachary launched the attack, he also pulled the trigger and fired at Zachary.

However, Zachary's movements were very fast, and with the protection of the smell of herbs, he was not afraid of the bullets at all. He ran away with his legs.

At this time, the boss finally found that his gun did not pose a threat to Zachary. He quickly changed the direction and pressed the gun against the old man's head.

But after all, he was already a little slower. At this moment, Zachary had already approached him quickly. Bending down, he threw a hook at the elder's abdomen.

It was too late for the eldest brother to dodge. His abdomen was hit hard, and suddenly he felt his stomach churning. His five viscera and six bowels seemed to be dislocated, and a stream of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. However, the boss was also good at martial arts. After being hit by Zachary's fist, he could still move. He let go of the comatose old man in his hand and took out a pistol from his waist. He almost instinctively pulled the trigger and shot Zachary like crazy.

At such a close range, no matter how fast Zachary was, it was difficult for him to dodge the bullets at this moment, even though the shield of the aura of herbs blocked the bullets for him. However, Zachary knew that if it went on like this, if the other party fired four or five more shots, his own protective shield would not work and would be directly smashed.

Thinking of this, Zachary gritted his teeth, and the smell of herbs surged wildly, and then he rushed toward the boss desperately.

Apparently, the boss in black didn't expect Zachary to be so fierce, regardless of the threat of bullets. In such a short time that he was stunned, Zachary slammed his fist on the boss's chin.

The huge force sent the elder brother's sturdy body flying and landing on the big bed behind him, shaking violently.

Zachary did not give him the chance to get up. He quickly stepped forward and threw another punch. This time, it landed directly on his opponent's temple.

The temple was the human brain's most crucial and fragile position. After being punched down by such a heavy punch, the oldest's eyes went white and his body fell to the ground.

Zachary quickly checked the eldest brother's breath and found that the eldest brother was no longer breathing. He was killed by Zachary's punch.

Leaving the dead boss alone, Zachary breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old man next to him who had fallen to the ground.

However, just as Zachary was about to walk towards the old man, a sense of danger came from behind him.

Zachary had no time to turn around. He frantically urged the aura of a hundred herbs in his body to form a defensive cover behind him.

Just as Zachary's protective shield formed, with a "Puchi" sound, it was as if something had pierced a film. Zachary suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and when he looked down, he found that there was a small green cross dart on his waist. "This cross dart should penetrate my shield of herbs smell." Zachary was shocked and pulled out the cross dart. At the same time, he turned his head and found that the second brother, who was knocked unconscious on the ground, had woken up at some point.

Seeing that the second brother took out another pistol and aimed at himself, Zachary's heart tightened and he quickly attacked the second brother. At the same time, he began to operate the smell of herbs.

But this time, when he exerted the aura in his dantian and began to run, he found that something was wrong.

The smell of herbs in his body was disturbed by a faint green spirit, so he couldn't run it normally, let alone form a protective shield outside his body.

And that green dot of disturbing aura originated from the javelin he had just hit with.

"This cross dart is poisoned!" This was Zachary's first thought.

At this moment, with a "bang", the second son on the opposite side had already shot. A orange bullet shot out of the flaming muzzle and quickly shot at Zachary's heart.

Without the protection of the smell of herbs this time, Zachary didn't dare to meet the bullet directly like what he did just now. He quickly twisted his body and avoided the bullet by a close call.

However, the other side fired a few more shots. As Zachary moved forward, he tried his best to avoid Second's bullets.

With his body's movements, Zachary found that his body's movements were getting slower and slower. All the muscles in his body seemed to have begun to shrink and become powerless. "The poison on the cross dart!" Zachary had a sense of extreme danger in his heart.

Pa!

Although Zachary had tried his best to dodge the bullets, he was still unable to avoid them.

The hot bullet, with high temperature and high pressure, shot into the left side of Qin zihao's stomach. With a strong rotation and tearing force, Qin zihao's flesh and blood were torn into a big hole in an instant, and blood was dripping out. A violent pain began to invade Qin zihao's brain.

Seeing that Zachary was injured, Second on the opposite side showed a smirk on his face, and the gun in his hand once again shot out flames toward Zachary's heart.

Having seen the bullet, Zachary suddenly calmed down in his heart. He gritted his teeth and almost used the last strength of his body. He pushed off with his legs and rushed at his opponent.

At the same time, a thin silver needle appeared in his hand. It was the needle he had always carried with him for acupuncture.

"I must kill him before I completely lose my ability to move, or I will be finished." Zachary gritted his teeth and slightly twisted his body to avoid the deadly bullet while he was running. "Puchi!"

Although Zachary had managed to dodge, he was now less than three meters away from the Big Boss, and the strength in his body was draining away rapidly.

Therefore, the bullet hit Zachary's body. Fortunately, due to Zachary's evasive action, the bullet tore a big bloody hole in the muscles around Zachary's body and whizzed away.

Zachary endured the pain in his body and felt more and more powerless. He tried his best to cover the distance of the last three meters. The silver needle in his hand was shining with a faint cold light, and it finally accurately pierced into the Second's throat.

At this moment, Zachary also used his last strength and fell heavily to the ground. The two wounds caused by the gun spilled a large amount of blood and stained a large area of the ground.

Second only felt a slight stinging pain in his throat and did not take it seriously. But then, his face changed. The expression on his face was very painful. He gripped his throat with both hands, as if he wanted to pull something out of his throat. But Zachary used all his strength to put the silver needle into Second's throat. How could he pull it out?

His face kept darkening, and Second's struggling movements became smaller and smaller. After a moment, he completely lost his vitality. He stared at the sky and lost his last trace of life.

Seeing this, Zachary finally let out a sigh of relief. He struggled to hold the sofa next to him and struggled to get up from the ground.

At this moment, the woman who took the photo with her mobile phone hurriedly ran over with a shocked and anxious look. Regardless of the blood on the ground and Zachary's body, she helped him to stand up.

Zachary gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up. But at this time, he suddenly saw a black figure stand up leisurely at the fire stairs. It was the thin third brother, who was knocked unconscious by Zachary first. Laosan patted his head, stood up, raised the gun in his hand, aimed at Zachary, and then pulled the trigger.

At this moment, in front of Zachary, the woman was holding him with her back facing the third brother. The bullet came from the direction of the woman's body.

Seeing this, Zachary used his last bit of strength to shout "watch out", and then he tried his best to hold the woman's body. He turned hard and blocked the woman behind him. At the same time, he swung a silver needle toward the third brother.

The woman didn't expect that Zachary would make such a sudden move and she was suddenly held tightly by him. She felt a little ashamed and annoyed. She thought that this man was too shameless. In this situation, he still wanted to take advantage of her.

But then, she heard a gunshot, and then she saw Zachary's body shake and fall to the ground, with a horrible wound on his back, dripping with blood.

Seeing this, how could she not understand that the man in front of her was not trying to take advantage of her, but to block bullets for herself.

In an instant, she felt that her eye sockets were a little moist. A gentle sensation of touch spread throughout her body, as if she had been electrocuted. Her whole body felt slightly numb.

"You, are you okay? I..." Looking at Zachary, who was dripping with blood, the woman was a little scared.

But at this time, Zachary held his last breath. He pointed to the gun that Second fell on the ground, and then to the fire stairs. He said with difficulty, "Kill, kill him!"

The woman was stunned and looked at the stairs. She saw that the thin Third Brother was covering his throat with his hands, and his face was full of painful expression.

However, he was obviously much luckier than Lao Er just now. Zachary threw out the silver needle. The strength was not as strong as just now, and it was difficult to guarantee accurately. Therefore, although Zachary had stabbed Lao San in the throat, it was difficult to kill him.

At this time, Laosan pinched his throat with his left hand and pinched the end of the silver needle with his right hand. He endured the pain and pulled the silver needle out.

Seeing that Laosan was about to pull out the silver needle completely, Zachary was also anxious. He said to the woman, "Quick, kill him!"

If Third Brother pulled out the silver needle, he and the woman would probably die.
