Zhao Youqian lay on the ground for a moment. He heard the door close twice, and the suite quieted down. After making sure that everyone had left, he groaned and got up. His clothes and face were stained with vomit.
His companion, Sun Wude, was also lying on the ground, moaning and clutching his stomach.
Zhao Youqian struggled to get up and helped Sun Wude up. They endured the pain and dizziness and walked into the bathroom.
The tiles in the bathroom were wet and full of water. Zhao Youqian slipped and fell.
He held back his tears and stood up straight.
In the mirror, both of them looked miserable. Their clothes and pants were stained with filth. Their heads hurt and blood flowed down their cheeks. Their scalps must have been broken.
One was a famous director, and the other was a veteran screenwriter.
They had never been in such a miserable situation.
At least not for many years.
"F * ck!"
Sun Wude cursed and grabbed a dry towel to wipe his face.
"Don't wipe it."
Zhao Youqian stopped him and said in a low voice, "We'll call the police and solve this through legal procedures."
"Can it work?" Sun Wude hesitated.
"I don't care," Zhao Youqian said fiercely, "He's a public figure. This is enough to make him suffer. Remember the artists who were sentenced for beating people up a few years ago? "
"Fine!" Sun Wude said angrily, "We didn't do anything. He was the one who beat us up."
He immediately called the police.
The police station was not far from here, so they were dispatched quickly.
Three policemen knocked on the door of the hotel room. Both of them were filthy and had blood on their faces. They looked pitiful.
"What happened? Who beat you up?" one of the policemen asked.
"Qin Ze," Zhao Youqian said.
The policeman nodded slightly. "Where are you from? Where do you live?"
"Qin Ze, the boss of Tianfang Entertainment," Zhao Youqian said.
"Mm …" The policeman nodded. "Mm?"
He suddenly froze.
If he didn't hear wrong, it was Qin Ze from Tianfang Entertainment. That Qin Ze?!
"How did you fight? Tell us what happened." The policeman perked up.
It was definitely not gossip.
Zhao Youqian was silent for a moment, then looked at Sun Wude.
"We were talking about the script with the company's female artist, and then he rushed in and beat us up," Sun Wude said. After that, he saw the subtle look in the three policemen's eyes.
"What are your names?"
"Zhao Youqian."
"Sun Wude."
The three policemen suddenly understood.
Sun Wude didn't know him, but Zhao Youqian had heard of him. He was a very famous director.
The director, the female artist, discussed the script.
The police comrade suddenly understood.
Yes, we are professionally trained police officers. No matter how gossipy something is, we will never gossip unless we can't help it.
"Who is the female artist who discussed the script with you?" the police officer asked.
He could not hold it in any longer.
Sun Wude and Zhao Youqian were silent.
"Cough cough!" Another policeman coughed and said, "I'll take you to the hospital first, then we'll go to the police station to record your statements."
Zhao Youqian said in a deep voice, "We're definitely just lightly injured. Arrest Qin Ze immediately."
"Let's go to the hospital first. Whether or not it's a minor injury, we'll file a case first. Then, we'll wait for the judicial department and the hospital to appraise it," the policeman said.
.....
The car drove through the night, leaving a long and fast shadow on the road illuminated by the street lamps.
Inside the car, the ceiling light was on.
Qin Bao Bao and Xu Yue sat in the back seat.
Qin Bao Bao comforted her cousin softly. He didn't have the heart to blame her.
"The director invited you to drink and discuss the script. Why didn't you give me a call?" Qin Ze said.
"I, I did send a text." Xu Yue sat up straight like a primary school student. Her small face was slightly nervous and pale.
"Then why didn't you tell me in advance that you wanted to drink? I was just a little careless and you were almost fooled. "
"I did call you …" Xu Yue lowered her head and said in a low voice, "You didn't want to talk to me."
She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
"You must have been scared." Qin Ze sighed. "You've seen the rotten side of society. If you encounter anything in the future, be careful. Be vigilant and keep a distance from anyone's kindness and enthusiasm."
Xu Yue said, "Okay."
Qin Ze drove his cousin home and stopped outside the neighborhood. It was a rare night with a cool breeze. It should have been comfortable, but the three of them were in a bad mood.
"Cousin, aren't you and cousin going up? Grandma misses you. "Xu Yue was sent to the gate of the neighborhood by Qin Ze and Qin Bao Bao.
"Not going." Qin Ze smiled bitterly.
How could he be in the mood to see grandma?
"Yue Yue, don't tell aunt and grandma about this." Her sister reminded her.
"Okay." Xu Yue nodded. She turned around and walked a few steps. She stopped, turned around, and stared at Qin Ze. "Cousin, thank you."
After that, she looked like a swallow returning to the forest.
Qin Ze hugged his cousin in his arms and touched her head. "Silly girl."
She didn't know if she was wronged or frightened. Her thin and delicate body trembled slightly.
Xu Yue reluctantly left her cousin's arms. She lowered her head slightly and walked into the neighborhood silently.
"Yue Yue!" Qin Ze suddenly shouted.
Xu Yue stopped.
"In the future," Qin Ze said loudly, "if anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them up for you."
Xu Yue walked into the darkness with her head lowered.
"Yue Yue, if anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them up for you …"
After so many years, this sentence seemed to have traveled through time and floated into her ears again.
The street lights in the neighborhood sprinkled a dim yellow light, illuminating the two lines of tears on Xu Yue's cheeks.
"Tsk, Yue Yue, this silly girl. She's still the same as when she was young." Qin Bao Bao's foxy face flashed with "anger". "She's been closer to you since she was young. The few people in grandma's family are all the same."
Qin Bao Bao had been beautiful since she was young. She was as arrogant as a peacock. When she was in junior high school, she liked to read novels, but she didn't have enough money … The main reason was that buying books was too expensive. Coincidentally, there was a bookstore next to Xu Yue's school. She could rent it for ten cents a day.
Qin Bao Bao would ask Xu Yue to rent books for her every day. When Yue Yue was in the fifth grade of primary school, she would first take the bus to her aunt's house and send novels to her cousin once a week after school.
It was obvious that someone's bad habit of bullying others didn't only apply to her younger brother.
"Why are you jealous?" Qin Ze said angrily.
"Bah, I'm not jealous." Qin Bao Bao glared at him.
She then gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You hit them too lightly. These two scumbags."
If Qin Ze hadn't found out about it early, it might have caused a big mistake. How could the siblings face their parents, uncle, aunt, and grandma?
They also couldn't face Xu Yue who was interning at his cousin's company.
He didn't care about her at all. He shouldn't have kept her identity a secret, or told her about the ways of the entertainment industry in advance.
They looked calm on the surface, but in fact, they were scared.
"Hitting people can only vent your anger, but it won't solve the problem." Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "This matter isn't over yet. You watch."
"Azé." His sister suddenly called him in a very gentle voice.
Qin Ze: "Yes?"
Qin Bao Bao gently hugged his waist. "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" As he spoke, Qin Ze looked around to see if there were any paparazzi following them … He didn't find any at the moment.
Then he looked at the guard booth. There was only a guard who was sleeping on the table. He didn't know if his surname was Qin.
"Thank you for working hard for me so that you won't be a salted fish anymore."
If the word "salted fish" didn't exist, I would be touched.
"Thank you for working so hard to buy the entertainment company for me."
This sentence was more pleasant to hear.
"Thank you for not finding a girlfriend for me."
… This sentence was a little scary. Sister, let me pretend that I didn't understand.
Qin Bao Bao continued, "If it weren't for you, I would probably have to leave the entertainment industry."
It was inevitable that a woman with her looks and no background would be able to continue smoothly in the entertainment industry. It was almost impossible for a woman like her to have a smooth career.
She wouldn't accept the unspoken rules, so the only way was to leave the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, I have a good brother who can be soft and hard.
Usually, he was a salted fish, but at critical moments, he was surprisingly reliable.
Qin Bao Bao recalled all the difficulties and troubles she had encountered along the way. It seemed that every time, as long as she whined in front of her brother, he would be able to help her solve it.
Sob sob sob, help me write songs.
Sob sob sob, be my guest singer.
Sob sob sob, do a kissing scene with sister.
She whined all the way to the peak of her life.
"There's nothing to thank, you're my sister." Qin Ze said, "My parents are not as close as my sister."
"Then, do you want to practice a kissing scene with sister?" Qin Bao Bao looked up. The wind lifted her forehead hair, and her beauty was unparalleled.
Qin Ze glanced at her half-opened red lips and was quite tempted.
Eating the rouge from my sister's mouth every other day, I'm probably the world's most honest (ghost) younger brother.
But not now. Who knew if a paparazzi would suddenly jump out and say, "Hahaha, I finally caught your little secret. Wait to be hospitalized."
70 years after the founding of the country, the biggest and most sensational news in the entertainment industry.
There was no escape.
Qin Bao Bao saw that he was silent and her heart sank. She said anxiously, "I haven't practiced kissing for a long time, I'm a little rusty …"
"Have you forgotten what happened last time?" Qin Ze lowered his voice. "The paparazzi's eyes are everywhere."
Even if they weren't here now, they couldn't be careless. The paparazzi might be late, but they would never be absent.
They had to be vigilant at all times.
Qin Bao Bao immediately pushed her brother away and looked around guiltily.
Qin Ze: "…"
Don't look, sister. You're making us look like we're having an affair.
"I have a small stove, but I never ride it …"
The siblings reached for their phones at the same time.
Qin Bao Bao forgot that she was wearing pajamas and didn't bring her phone.
Qin Ze's phone rang.
The caller was a landline, an unknown number.
Qin Ze picked up the phone. If it was a spam call, he would immediately hang up.
"Hello, is this Mr. Qin Ze? This is XX police station. "It was a woman's voice.
"It's me." Qin Ze's heart skipped a beat.
"You're suspected of intentional injury. Please tell us your address. We need to take you to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"… No need, I'll come over now." Qin Ze said.
There was a moment of silence. "Okay."
Sister's skirt fluttered. "Who's calling?"
Qin Ze smiled and said, "The police station. I'm suspected of intentional injury. I may have to go to the small dark room."
