Lu Qier, who was already very popular, gained even more attention after the shooting incident at the TV station. Even Xiao Zheng, who saved the damsel in distress, became a celebrity in the US. While waiting for the press conference, Xiao Zheng was constantly harassed by the media, hoping to interview him alone, even if it was just a text interview. However, for Xiao Zheng, who did not like to show his face in public, such an invitation was not in line with his character. Hence, he rejected them one by one.
As the time of the press conference approached, Xiao Zheng kept in touch with Jojo, hoping that the press conference could proceed smoothly and safely.
At Xiao Zheng's request, Jojo increased the number of security guards for the press conference from 30 to 50. Furthermore, with the permission of the police, they were equipped with lethal weapons other than firearms. She hoped that the security would be foolproof.
In this regard, Xiao Zheng also made appropriate adjustments. He changed the idea of Tina as a security guard and assigned her to protect Lu Qier, pretending to be her personal assistant.
With Tina's personal protection, Xiao Zheng believed that even if Ye Jun were to personally attack, he might not succeed.
"Mr. Xiao, we have a personal assistant. You don't have to pick one yourself, "Jojo said worriedly as she glanced at the cold Tina. "Moreover, this is against the rules."
Lu Qier was not an ordinary person. As an international superstar, even if the assistant was arranged by Xiao Zheng, it was not enough for Jojo. Only the assistant she arranged herself could make the company feel assured.
"The assistant you arranged will only be cannon fodder in the end," Xiao Zheng said with a serious face.
"I will arrange for an experienced bodyguard to be the assistant," Jojo said with a firm attitude.
"The best defense is offense." Xiao Zheng pointed at the expressionless Tina. "In this regard, she is the best candidate in the world."
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was not giving in, Jojo believed that even if Lu Qier were to choose, she would listen to Xiao Zheng's opinion. At that moment, she did not force it and said solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, I hope that your arrangements are appropriate."
"I can only promise that I will do my best," Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and frowned. "No one can predict what will happen today."
Hearing Xiao Zheng's words, a worried look appeared on Jojo's face. She bit her lip and said, "Please, Mr. Xiao."
…
The press conference was held at the top floor of the Royal Hotel. The location was arranged to control the order of the scene to the greatest extent. Coupled with the control of the number of people in the media, he believed that there wouldn't be any horrifying incidents. At least, that was what Jojo thought. However, to Xiao Zheng or Tina, such an occasion was like a slaughterhouse that could not be guarded against at all. Not to mention the security personnel, even if the police cooperated, they might not be able to completely control the scene.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng reminded Tina carefully before going backstage for the interview, hoping that she could keep her eyes on Lu Qier. As for him …
He did not believe that Ye Jun would remain indifferent, so he had to find him before Ye Jun made his move.
As long as they could find Ye Jun, everything would be fine.
"Don't be too nervous," Jojo comforted Xiao Zheng when she saw that he was very tense. "There are nearly 20 armed police officers outside maintaining order. No matter how daring the other party is, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in such an occasion. Unless he's tired of living. "
The corners of Xiao Zheng's mouth couldn't help but curl into a subtle arc when he heard this.
Tired of living?
In the eyes of ordinary people, every mission that an assassin accepted was a suicide mission. However, they were assassins and this was their job. Why would they care about their lives?
Life was luck, death was fate.
"Everyone, hurry up, the media is here!" Jojo rushed the staff back and forth. With the help of a makeup artist, Xiao Zheng tidied up his appearance and went out first with the accompaniment of two security personnel.
As soon as he went on stage, Xiao Zheng was blinded by the flashing lights. He forced a smile on his face and sat on the chair that the organizers had prepared for him.
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you're from Hua Xia and that you've been in the army. Is that true?"
As soon as Xiao Zheng sat down, a reporter asked excitedly.
It should be noted that Xiao Zheng was the first man in the United States to perform a real murder on television. He was many times more domineering than the so-called tough guys in the movies. Overnight, he became the new generation of perfect men for many American women. Therefore, compared to Lu Qi 'er's entertainment value, Xiao Zheng's topicality was not far behind.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng sat on the chair and answered the female reporter with a smile. "I was a soldier in the Beijing military for two years."
"Then did you learn what you did on television that day in the army?" the female reporter continued to ask.
"You can say that." Xiao Zheng nodded, then shook his head. "But I have to correct you. I didn't perform on television. I really killed someone."
Click, click, click.
The flashing lights flickered again, dazzling Xiao Zheng, but it made the group of reporters excited.
Normally, an ordinary person would not emphasize that they killed someone in front of the media. Doing so would undoubtedly smear their own reputation. Whether it was the United States or Hua Xia, people who killed people would always be afraid and unacceptable. The reason was not important.
"Also. I don't think what I did is any reason to report it. Because it was a tragedy, "Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly.
After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued, "I can completely understand the pursuit of Lu Qi 'er. Because she is a big star, the most watched Chinese singer in the world. But I can't understand why you would pay attention to me. Why can I see the excitement in your eyes? Do you like me, the guy who killed people? Do you want to make me a hero? Or is your life too dull and you want some excitement? "
No one expected that Xiao Zheng would use this method to communicate with hundreds of reporters. They also didn't expect that Xiao Zheng not only did not appreciate their flattery at all. Instead, he was extremely repulsed.
Didn't he want to be famous?
Didn't he want to be an international celebrity?
As long as he was willing, Hollywood would definitely be willing to adapt his story into a movie and release it all over the world. Coupled with Xiao Zheng's tall figure, sharp facial features, and swift and fierce skills, it was only a matter of time before he became a popular movie star.
Why did he answer the reporters like this?
Everyone was deep in thought.
Xiao Zheng glanced at the media below the stage and knew that he had achieved his goal. He made a gesture and asked the staff to invite Lu Qi 'er to the stage.
