Chapter 292 Who's got a death wish?
Young Master Long?
Hearing this title, Zhou Zerui was shocked. His gaze followed Wu Kai as he turned his head and finally landed on the person by the stairs.
He was a tall and robust man with a sharply defined face and an aura of power that made him seem like the master of the world, inspiring awe in everyone.
However, what is most striking is the chilling, innate rage on his face.
That anger was like a raging fire, seemingly about to devour Zhou Zerui completely.
Zhou Zerui's heart tightened; he recognized the man—Long Yuan, the heir of the Long family!
How did Long Yuan suddenly appear here?
And judging from his appearance, it seems he came specifically to find me.
Various possible reasons flashed through Zhou Zerui's mind, but none of them could explain the situation before him.
The door was violently pulled open by two thugs, and Zhou Zerui cautiously retreated back into the house.
The bodyguards brought by Long Yuan swarmed in and then lined up on both sides.
Long Yuan then slowly stepped into the house, staring at Zhou Zerui with a chilling gaze.
Zhou Zerui felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze, but he didn't back down and look away.
At this moment, Wu Kai said to Long Yuan respectfully, "I know that Young Master Long came to see Zhou Zerui today because he was selected by Starlight Entertainment to star in 'The Ambition of Qingyun'. But if Young Master Long wants to deal with him, you don't need to dirty your hands by doing it yourself. Why not give me a chance to beat him up and ruin his face for you?"
If you perform well, you might even gain Young Master Long's favor!
Long Yuan stared at Zhou Zerui expressionlessly, a cold smile playing on his lips. He said in an icy voice, "I originally sent you here to get revenge on Zhou Zerui. Otherwise, what did you think I called you here for? To lead the way?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Kai was overjoyed and quickly said obsequiously, "Don't worry, Young Master Long! I will definitely satisfy you!"
Zhou Zerui's heart skipped a beat. He said sternly, "You've trespassed on private property, which is illegal! I'm warning you, leave immediately, or I'll call the police!"
However, Long Yuan remained completely unmoved by Zhou Zerui's warning. He simply stared coldly at Zhou Zerui, his eyes filled with even more chill.
This penniless pauper actually dared to yell at him that he would call the police?
Wu Kai laughed as if he'd heard a joke. "Call the police? That's hilarious! Do you even have a chance to call the police? Don't forget, the guy lying in bed, don't you want him to live? I'll kill him before the police even arrive!"
When Uncle Ya was mentioned, Zhou Zerui clenched his fists and fell silent.
Wu Kai continued with a sneer, "Zhou Zerui, I heard you've been selected by Starlight Entertainment to star in 'The Legend of Chusen.' Do you think Starlight Entertainment would still want you if your face were ruined right now?"
Zhou Zerui said angrily, "You dare!"
Wu Kai said, "What do I have to be afraid of? You're just a piece of trash that I picked up while collecting garbage. If it weren't for your decent looks, would you have had the chance to make it in the entertainment industry? I gave you the lead role in my movie because you're not bad looking, but you're not only ungrateful, you even beat me up!"
Zhou Zerui said with disdain, "Who told you to try to forcibly assault the female lead! You beast deserve to be beaten!"
Seeing Zhou Zerui's furious expression, Director Wu spat and said, "You really think you're the male lead in the movie, trying to be a hero, huh?"
"Get him!"
Although Zhou Zerui had learned self-defense from Uncle Ya, he was generally capable of self-defense under normal circumstances.
But now he was surrounded by highly skilled bodyguards, and there were so many of them that Zhou Zerui was no match for them and was quickly captured.
Wu Kai walked up to him and said, "Alright, Zhou Zerui, kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy first, and I might let you suffer a little less. How about that?"
Zhou Zerui spat fiercely in Wu Kai's face, "Pah, I would never beg a scumbag like you!"
Wu Kai's expression changed instantly. He wiped the saliva from his face and said, "Looks like you're really tired of living!"
As he spoke, he was about to punch Zhou Zerui.
To everyone's surprise, at that moment came a muffled groan and the sound of someone collapsing to the ground from outside the door.
The next second, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Who's got a death wish?" Jiang Youli pushed Qi Huan's wheelchair in.
Wu Kai turned around and saw that the two bodyguards guarding outside the door had fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
He recognized Qi Huan and Jiang Youli who appeared at the door, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Jiang Youli herself is nothing to worry about; what's truly frightening is the young master Qi behind her!
Even Long Yuan was no match for Young Master Qi, let alone a mere director like him!
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Kai reluctantly put down his fist, swallowed hard, and stood next to Long Yuan.
Long Yuan glanced at him and said, "Useless thing."
Wu Kai's face stiffened upon hearing this.
He wants to be useful too!
Unfortunately, the other party was the eldest young master of the Qi family!
Zhou Zerui was initially pleasantly surprised by Jiang Youli's arrival, but soon became nervous.
He was afraid that he would implicate Jiang Youli!
As soon as Qi Huan entered the room, she looked at Zhou Zerui, who was being subdued. Her eyes flickered, but her expression remained unchanged.
“Zhou Zerui is the actor I personally selected to play the main villain in ‘The Legend of Chusen.’ Anyone who dares to touch him is going against me.” After Jiang Youli finished speaking, she pretended to have just seen Long Yuan in the room and said with slight surprise, “Oh, Young Master Long is here too?”
Her gaze fell on Long Yuan, and she continued teasingly with a half-smile, "Young Master Long, what are you planning to do to Zhou Zerui? You've brought so many people. Are you celebrating Zhou Zerui's role in my drama 'The Ambition of Qingyun'? This is too much of a fuss."
Wu Kai, who had been extremely arrogant just moments before, didn't dare to utter a single word at this moment.
When gods fight, how dare he steal the spotlight!
Long Yuan's eyes darkened, and he remained silent.
It's one thing for Jiang Youli to be here, since Zhou Zerui was the actor she cast in "The Legend of Chusen," but why is Qi Huan also here? And why did she bring so many bodyguards?
Jiang Youli pushed Qi Huan's wheelchair forward until they reached Zhou Zerui, then said, "Why are you holding him up? Let him go."
The two bodyguards looked at Long Yuan, seeking his opinion.
Long Yuan remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand.
The two bodyguards then released their grip and retreated to Long Yuan's side.
Relieved, Zhou Zerui looked at Jiang Youli gratefully and whispered, "President Jiang, the old man who tried to hit me earlier is named Wu Kai. He's the director I beat up before. He's here today to get revenge. As for why Young Master Long is here, I'm not sure."
Judging from Long Yuan's reaction, it is clear that he was unaware that Zhou Zerui might be Qi Huan's younger brother.
Therefore, Jiang Youli guessed that the reason Long Yuan appeared here might be because of Aunt Ya's disappearance.
Long Yuan probably felt that Aunt Ya's disappearance was related to her, and that his authority had been challenged again. He also learned that Zhou Zerui had been rejected by Dafeng Entertainment and then selected by her to star in "The Legend of Chusen". So he decided to make an example of Zhou Zerui, not only to dampen her arrogance, but also to make an example of her, so that the artists who planned to star in "The Legend of Chusen" would choose carefully.
