Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Complete silence!
Everyone at that place was all experienced people. Right now, the situation had gotten out of hand. Most people might not have known Chen He’s background but all the celebrities with a certain amount of fame knew. Chen He was considered a well-known man in Northern China. Even megastars who went to Northern China would be meek while interacting with him. Otherwise, if they angered him, they might not be able to leave the Northside safely.
A second-rate male celebrity took in a cold breath of air. Then, he asked his manager, “Will there be any problems with us being here?”
His manager was scared stiff at that point but his brain was still working. “Don’t worry, we won’t get implicated. Right now, we just have to see which side admits defeat but no matter what, Xu Zi Le won’t be able to go to the North side for the rest of her life. I know about this Chen He. He is very influential and powerful in Northern China. We mustn’t interrupt. Otherwise, we might get involved and that would be very troublesome.”
The second-rate male celebrity had only gotten to his current status because he had clung onto the influence of a wealthy woman. Eventually, the woman grew tired of him and dumped him. However, he had already gained some fame, so it didn’t matter. He had relied on some underhand tactics to get to his current status, paying to play a certain character or to appear on a variety show. This was all done to boost his presence in the media.
He had a very delicate look and quite a number of young girls were loyal fans of his. He was rather confident. As long as he didn’t have conflicts with any big shots, he would be fine.
Director Jin’s hands and legs were trembling. “For god’s sake, hurry up and tell your Big Bro to let it go. That’s Chief Chen we’re talking about!”
“Hmph.” Xu Zi Le snorted coldly. “Director Jin, when my Brother does something, I can’t intervene. Even if he’s Chief Chen, do you know who my Brother is? Have you ever heard of him?”
Xu Zi Le knew that Brother Lin had toppled Ma Mu Feng in Qingzhou. And who was Ma Mu Feng? He was a big shot of Qingzhou. A big shot who controlled the region. Even when compared to Chen He, he wouldn’t lose out. In fact, Chen He may not even be at Ma Mu Feng’s level.
Director Jin had nothing to say. He couldn’t help but sigh. He indeed knew who Zi Le’s Big Bro was and he knew what kind of person he was as well.
But wasn’t he supposed to be the righteous and gentle Master Lin?
This scene had changed Director Jin’s impression of Master Lin greatly.
Dominant. Right, dominant was the word. His dominance was unparalleled. He didn’t care who it was or how impressive the opposition’s background was. Anyone who angered him would pay for it.
And he didn’t even spout any nonsense. Not even any courteous words. He had completely ignored the opposition’s reputation.
How unbridled!
Xue Er pulled on Xu Zi Le. “Sister Xu, will there be any problems?”
Xu Zi Le patted Xue Er’s hand and gave her a reassuring look. Her heart was a little comforted. She got along quite well with the cast, especially this second female lead. Although they hadn’t known each other for very long, she cared a lot for Xue Er during this period that they had been in the cast.
Now that this had happened, only Xue Er bravely stood up to defend her. This made her very touched. Meanwhile, the others just watched from the side, not caring for her at all.
In the entertainment industry, one can attain a deeper understanding of social relationships. In this industry, even brothers would stab each other for the sake of women or for other benefits. She had met someone who genuinely wanted to help her, so she naturally had to appreciate it.
At that moment, Xu Zi Le looked at Xue Er’s delicate face, then at Brother Lin. A certain thought had formed in her mind.
She wanted to be a principled and incorruptible individual in this industry. That would not be possible unless one had pillars of support or one was very capable. Otherwise, it would only be a meaningless dream.
However, this wasn’t the time to think about all this.
…
Chen He’s heart was trembling. He had been slapped so many times he lost count. But he knew that he absolutely had to kill this guy.
He clenched his teeth as he glared fiercely at the man in front of him.
Lin Fan said, “Which hand was it? Stick it out.”
Chen He took a deep breath and said with a strong tone. “This is Shanghai, so I admit defeat but remember this. This matter isn’t over. I will make you kneel before me and eat sh*t.”
Pa!
Lin Fan immediately gave him another slap. “Which hand was it? Stick it out.”
This was extremely shameful and humiliating. Chen He could not bear it at all.
“F*ck your mom, what the heck do you want? I, Chen He, am not someone who can be scared. I will always remember how you have shamed me today. I won’t let this end so easily. You have to…”
Pa!
“What’s all this nonsense? I asked you which hand it was,” Lin Fan said simply and cruelly. He didn’t give Chen He any chance to talk back.
Every time the crowd heard the sound of slapping, they couldn’t help but close their eyes. Their hearts were filled with fear. Although it didn’t happen to them, just watching was painful. Moreover, being slapped in public was very humiliating. No human would be able to endure it.
At that moment, Chen He glared at Lin Fan and finally stuck out his right hand.
Lin Fan smiled, “This hand of yours really deserves to be broken. I, Lin Fan, never go looking for trouble but if someone finds trouble with my people, then things will not end easily.”
*crack!*
Lin Fan immediately grabbed Chen He’s left hand and gripped it hard causing Chen He’s five fingers to go out of alignment. Then, Lin Fan placed one hand under Chen He’s arm and lifted it up. In an instant, that arm became crooked. Then, Lin Fan grabbed Chen He’s scapula and twisted it. Chen He’s bones were all displaced.
“Ah!”
The sound of a pig being slaughtered rang out. Chen He’s face turned pale as his teeth trembled. Cold sweat erupted from his pores. It was so painful that he was biting his lip.
That cracking sound emanated throughout the banquet hall. Everyone couldn’t help but shiver in fear.
Terrifying. It was simply terrifying.
And when they saw Chen He’s five fingers, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. It was cruel. His five fingers had been severely deformed.
Merciless.
When Xu Zi Le saw this scene, she was startled as well. She had never expected Brother Lin to attack so viciously. Even without hearing the sounds, just by looking at that left hand of his, she could tell how much Chen He had suffered.
It was probably so painful that he wanted to die.
Lin Fan said, “Zi Le, call Ming Yang. See if his phone is on.”
Xu Zi Le hurriedly took out her phone and made the call. The call got through. “Brother Lin, the call got through.”
“Pass me the phone.” Lin Fan took over the phone. Wang Ming Yang’s voice rang out from the phone. “Wife, what’s up? I’m having an impromptu meeting. I’m going to off my phone.”
Lin Fan said, “What meeting? Your wife has been beaten by someone at Dongyue Entertainment Hotel and you’re having a f*cking meeting? Hurry over now!”
On the other end of the call, Wang Ming Yang was shocked. He knew that the person on the other end was his Brother. But when he heard that his wife had been beaten, he immediately put down his work. “I’m coming. I’m coming right now. F*ck, which b*stard dares to bully my wife?”
Lin Fan said, “Just hurry over. Stop ‘F*ck’-ing.”
He hung up.
Chen He sat there with a frightened look on his face. He shrieked miserably as he looked at his left hand.
Lin Fan pulled a stool over and sat down. “You guys, continue eating. No need to care about us.”
….
At this point, how could the crowd still be in the mood to eat? Things had gotten so out of hand, how big must their hearts have been if they were still able to eat?
“Carry on eating now. Do you understand?” Lin Fan frowned as he said this in a stern tone. When the crowd heard this, they groaned in their hearts.
They didn’t even dare to anger Chief He and this Master Lin’s means of doing things were so violent that they were even more afraid of him.
“Quick, quickly sit down and eat.”
The cast and production crew sat down. Their hands that they held their chopsticks with started trembling. They really could not eat.
Looking at this situation, Lin Fan nodded contently. He had come to teach someone a lesson but he couldn’t affect the others’ celebration.
As for Chen He, he could be treated as an impromptu show to liven things up.
