"Bang—"
With a dull thud, Meng Zetian punched Bai Mingchuan in the stomach.
"Ugh—"
Bai Mingchuan clutched his stomach, a look of pain on his face, and slowly knelt down.
Meng Zetian's subordinates swarmed forward, firmly restraining Bai Mingchuan.
"I'll give you one chance. Hand over the intelligence on you, and perhaps I can leave your father a complete corpse."
Meng Zetian said in a light tone.
Bai Mingchuan looked up at him, still wronged in his eyes: "It really wasn't me! I don't know anything! My father is acquainted with that person, if you arrest me indiscriminately like this, then Captain Meng will have a hard time explaining it!"
Bai Mingchuan's father was the head of Shanghai's largest newspaper at the time, and also one of the universally hated lackeys, collaborating with the puppet government to whitewash the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders on this land, and culturally brainwashing and controlling the ordinary lower-class people.
However, a good sprout can come from a bad bamboo. Bai Mingchuan, a news reporter who studied abroad in his early years and later associated with the lackeys, actually had completely different ideas and beliefs from his father.
For the sake of his beliefs and the lives of more people, he knew he absolutely could not fall here. He had to delay as much time as possible, at least until the other comrades arrived!
Meng Zetian, however, also saw that he was stalling for time and sneered, [N O V E L I G H T] "Don't bring out your father to pressure me. He's nothing but a dog. We can replace him whenever we want. Do you think that person will come to avenge you?"
Then he waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to search Bai Mingchuan.
Bai Mingchuan's eyes flickered, and he directly broke free from the restraints of the person behind him, lunging straight at Meng Zetian—
"Damn Meng Zetian! You're just taking personal revenge! You targeted me last time, and you're targeting me again this time. You're doing it on purpose!"
Then Bai Mingchuan and Meng Zetian started to wrestle...
In this scene, Meng Zetian naturally had the upper hand. Bai Mingchuan, this pretty boy, was no match for him at all. He quickly knocked him to the ground and then furiously ordered a search. But at this moment, Xiao He could clearly feel that Su Shengxi was deliberately increasing the force, with a few punches almost hitting his face, seemingly trying to provoke him on purpose.
However, Xiao He naturally did not fall for it. He took a slight step back, gripped the other party's hand with his palm, and then, as in the script, performed an over-the-shoulder throw on Su Shengxi.
This over-the-shoulder throw had naturally been practiced beforehand and would not actually injure anyone. At the same time, there was a thick mat under Su Shengxi, so it wouldn't hurt much even if he fell.
"Ah—"
Su Shengxi, however, deliberately let out a very loud scream.
Xiao He raised an eyebrow and did not stop filming, but instead began to kick him directly.
His movements were very exaggerated, but basically, they only touched Su Shengxi's clothes. To be precise, he was fiercely kicking the other party's clothes.
But Su Shengxi, relying on post-production dubbing, wailed and howled on set.
Xiao He: ...
Honestly, brother, don't overdo it. I'm almost unable to hold back my laughter.
Without even thinking, Xiao He knew that Su Shengxi wanted to use the anger of the live audience to launch a massive online attack against him later.
But Xiao He was not flustered at all.
With Sister Liu backing him up and his hacking skills, he truly wasn't afraid of the other party.
-
"Lift him up and search him!"
Meng Zetian gave the command coldly.
However, his subordinates meticulously searched the other party and found no intelligence hidden on Bai Mingchuan.
"Report, nothing."
The subordinate answered tremblingly.
"What?"
Meng Zetian frowned, his expression finally changing from confident to incredulous.
Bai Mingchuan looked up, revealing his bloody teeth, and squeezed out a mocking smile: "Nickname, I told you long ago, I have nothing to do with these matters! You're framing me! You're just taking personal revenge! Who doesn't know that last realistic report targeting you was written by me? But was there anything wrong with what I wrote? Bah! You're just a despicable villain who slanders his superiors and resorts to unscrupulous means to climb up!"
Meng Zetian scrutinized his subordinates, then personally came before Bai Mingchuan to inspect him thoroughly, but just like them, his result was also nothing.
And at this moment, the male lead Director Li also finally arrived. He looked at Bai Mingchuan, who was being held, a flicker of worry in his eyes, but his face showed a look of surprise: "Captain Meng, have you finally caught someone? Isn't this Bai Mingchuan? It's him! How hateful!"
Then he strode to Bai Mingchuan's front: "Speak quickly! Where have you hidden your intelligence!"
But facing Director Li's questioning, the people around them fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Mingchuan sneered, "It wasn't me! They clearly found nothing on me! And there's no evidence to indicate I have a problem. Meng Zetian is just taking personal revenge!"
"Huh?" Director Li looked blankly at the others, quietly smoothed Bai Mingchuan's collar, and secretly retreated to Meng Zetian's side, asking softly, "Did you really not find anything?"
Meng Zetian said nothing, but his face had turned dark.
Director Li immediately understood the situation, then deliberately said cautiously: "Captain Meng, look at you... Alas! Mr. Bai, Little Bai's father, is now a popular figure in the bureau. If there's no clear evidence, it's better not to make it too ugly..."
Meng Zetian was extremely embarrassed and said nothing, turning directly and leaving.
The rest of the subordinates looked at each other and also fled the scene.
After confirming their departure, Director Li pulled Bai Mingchuan up, a worried expression on his face: "Are you okay?"
Bai Mingchuan shook his head, then, as he stood up and leaned closer to Director Li, he whispered in Director Li's ear: "I put the item on Meng Zetian!"
It turned out that in that critical moment, Bai Mingchuan, in a moment of desperation, played a risky move. While fighting with Meng Zetian, he slipped the intelligence onto Meng Zetian's person!
Upon hearing Bai Mingchuan's audacious move, Director Li was stunned.
Only Bai Mingchuan would dare to do such a bold thing.
But what could be done? The most urgent thing now was to retrieve that intelligence before Meng Zetian discovered it!
"You go back first." Director Li mused, "Go make a fuss with your father. I'll call Department Head Zhang over and have him take the lead. We'll hold a banquet tonight, and we must steal the item back before Meng Zetian returns home!"
Bai Mingchuan nodded, his expression serious: "I understand!"
-
This important scene thus concluded. Next, there were no more scenes for Su Shengxi; it was Xiao He and Zhang Mo's opposing scene.
When Su Shengxi left the stage, he deliberately rubbed his stomach.
And with his action, the fans watching from behind let out another ear-splitting scream.
"Ahhh! Su Shengxi! Look here!"
"Brother Su!"
"Brother Su, you acted so well! Your acting is amazing!"
"Susu, you're working so hard! You must rest well!"
Su Shengxi smiled and waved to everyone while following his manager, Tian Heng, to the lounge in the back.
As soon as he sat down, Tian Heng began contacting his online trolls.
"Brother Tian, I'll leave this to you." Su Shengxi said with a smile.
"Don't worry."
Tian Heng looked at the message sent by his subordinate, a triumphant smile on his face: "Tonight, I'll make sure Xiao He is removed from the entertainment industry!"
