Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 105

"Pause."

Ling Yun squinted and gestured for Er Leng and the others to stand still with their shovels on their shoulders.

Erleng and the others were all worldly-wise, so they weren't afraid at all and just stood there by the pit.

The police car drove straight toward them and quickly stopped beside Ling Yun.

"Chairman Ling?"

An Xin got out of the passenger seat and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Liang Man was driving the car, and she greeted Ling Yun with a smile.

Upon seeing that it was the two women, Er Leng and the others all turned their heads away, staring straight at the ground, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"We're filming a movie."

Ling Yun took An Xin's small hand and led her to the edge of the pit, pointing to several cameras beside them: "Look, that's Gu Yixuan down there, you should recognize him, right?"

Upon seeing the police, Gu Yixuan was so excited he wanted to writhe into a maggot!

"Oh, filming a movie."

An Xin tightened her grip on the young man's hand. Under the influence of her 85-point favorability rating towards Ling Yun, Gu Yixuan's "lower intelligence" aura had no effect on her. Her trust in Ling Yun was even greater than that in Liang Man.

An Xin glanced at him and said nothing more. As for what Gu Yixuan was mumbling, she didn't care.

Liang Man also went to the edge of the pit to take a look, and shook her head when she came back: "Actors these days are really dedicated. I thought that a big star like Gu Yixuan would hire a stunt double to film a scene where he was buried alive, but I didn't expect him to do it himself."

[Because his brother dispelled the female police officers' doubts with a few words, Gu Yixuan missed a golden opportunity to survive, significantly impacting the plot. The protagonist, Gu Yixuan, has had his luck reduced by 1000 points, currently at 1000/2500!]

[The protagonist, Gu Yixuan, has less than half his luck, and his talent attributes have been weakened!]

Gu Yixuan's "Chosen Star (Purple)" has changed to "Shining Star (Blue)".

[A Bright Future: Able to go further in the film and television industry than most, possessing excellent acting skills.]

The three of them went to the car and continued shoveling soil.

"Where are you all going?" Ling Yun asked.

"I was just about to leave the province when I saw you."

"so."

Ling Yun wore a meaningful smile as he watched An Xin get into her car after their kiss.

Liang Man shook hands with Ling Yun: "Chairman Ling, I'll be going now too~"

"Okay, see you next time."

Ling Yun quietly pulled Liang Man into his arms from an angle where An Xin couldn't see him.

Liang Man bit her lip, and at this moment, she no longer felt like the "tomboy" her colleagues had teased her about; she was simply a shy beauty.

Her large breasts, with their amazing elasticity, made Xiao Lingyun's head twitch slightly.

Ling Yun pressed his lips to hers, but since An Xin was still in the car, he released her after taking Liang Man's first kiss.

"I wish you success in your case."

"Lend your blessings."

Liang Man smiled so happily that she didn't forget to roll down the window and wave goodbye after starting the car.

Chapter 171 A Deceptive Performance

After the police car drove away, Lingyun returned to the edge of the pit.

The mud has now covered half of Gu Yixuan's body. Although he is trying his best to shake off the mud, it is only a matter of time before he is completely buried alive.

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Gu Yixuan inexplicably spat out the rag in his mouth, his voice hoarse and strained.

"Chairman Ling, I really know I was wrong... Ugh, spit it out..."

A shovelful of dirt landed on Gu Yixuan's face, and Er Leng and the others sped up their work, quickly backfilling the hole with the excavated soil.

Ling Yun glanced at his watch. Gu Yixuan still had a thousand units of luck left and hadn't completely lost his protagonist status. Perhaps someone else would come.

A thousand units of luck is not much. Even if that being wants to intervene, there must be a reasonable basis for it, otherwise the value of luck will be lost.

I doubt she would do that.

Just as Gu Yixuan could no longer see Ling Yun, another car sped toward where they were.

After a screeching sound of brakes, Su Jin practically jumped out of the car and ran breathlessly to Ling Yun's side.

She glanced at Gu Yixuan, who was half buried, and hurriedly grabbed Ling Yun's arm.

"Chairman Ling, you..."

"You're going to plead with me for Gu Yixuan's sake?"

Su Jin was startled by the coldness in Ling Yun's eyes and quickly shook her head: "No, you misunderstood. I just wanted to say that Gu Yixuan is still a celebrity with considerable influence. If he suddenly disappears, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I have a way to handle this properly." Ling Yun didn't even glance at Gu Yixuan. "He's had private contact with Song Wen before, hasn't he?"

Su Jin's heart skipped a beat. They were both employees of Xinghuang Media, so it was perfectly normal for them to have contact and conversations. It was also common for them to greet each other when they met in private.

Ling Yun's intention was to lead Gu Yixuan in that direction!

She had no doubt that Ling Yun was now capable of doing all of this.

"The movie 'Dragon Chaser' is currently showing in theaters, which will affect its box office performance..."

Su Jin dared not meet Ling Yun's gaze, lowered her head, and made a last-ditch effort.

Erleng and the others also stopped what they were doing, but they didn't sit idle. Instead, they began to keep watch in all directions to prevent anyone else from getting close.

"If you're worried about box office performance, I can wait until the film is no longer showing in theaters before revealing any related information."

Since Ling Yun had said so, Su Jin no longer insisted.

There was no need for her to create a rift between Gu Yixuan and Ling Yun. With the Su family's capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to create another ace. They had even started training several candidates long ago, all of whom participated in the filming of "Chasing the Dragon".

There are actually plans for a sequel to "Chasing the Dragon". If the box office is good, Gu Yixuan can be "resurrected" in the second movie, or a newcomer can be made the protagonist.

It seems we need to choose the second option now.

Gu Yixuan struggled to pull his head out of the mud. He heard Su Jin's voice. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, he wailed, "President Su, please save me! I swear, from today onwards, I will help Chairman Ling and you film movies for free. I won't take a single penny of the money; it will all be yours! I really don't want to die, I don't want to die, waaaaah..."

Ling Yun leaned down and whispered in Su Jin's ear: "Don't make a sound yet, just do as I say..."

Su Jin's earlobes turned red instantly, and when Ling Yun finished speaking, she felt a little dizzy.

No wonder even Ling Shuang was willing to follow Chairman Ling; his charm was simply terrifying!

Su Jin took a deep breath, regained some clarity, and followed Ling Yun to the edge of the pit.

"Gu Yixuan, do you know you were wrong?" Su Jin's voice was devoid of emotion.

"I know, I really know!"

Gu Yixuan made three vows in a row today, showing an unusually strong will to survive.

"Alright, I hope you'll remember this in your next life, and never offend someone you can't afford to offend again."

"No, President Su!"

Gu Yixuan wanted to say something more, but this time, Er Leng shoveled dirt at him and gave him a good meal.

Su Jin turned away from him, and the shouts behind her grew weaker and weaker.

Finally, at a certain moment, Gu Yixuan's voice disappeared.

[The protagonist, Gu Yixuan, suffers a mental breakdown, losing all his spirit and feeling utterly defeated, losing his "protagonist" status!]

[Congratulations to the older brother for completely defeating the "protagonist" Gu Yixuan! The lottery is currently underway, please wait...]

[Successful draw! Congratulations, brother, on winning the "Deceptive Performance (Gold)"!]

[Deceptive Performance: Possessing acting skills far surpassing those of award-winning actors, a focused performance can even deceive the heavens.]

The fact that someone's acting talent can reach the gold quality is enough to prove just how powerful their abilities are.

"Alright, Erleng, that's a wrap."

"Hey, aren't we continuing?"

Erleng was somewhat disappointed. He had finally gotten a chance to do something violent and bloody, but Lingyun had stopped him.

Ling Yun glanced at Su Jin, and Er Leng immediately understood.

Hey, I forgot Mr. Su is still here. I definitely can't do dirty work in front of my future wife!

They dug Gu Yixuan out. At this moment, Gu Yixuan's eyes were glazed over, and Er Leng and the others could smell something unpleasant.

Su Jin was extremely surprised to see that Ling Yun had actually let Gu Yixuan go.

Because of me?

She was too embarrassed to ask the question aloud, so she could only quietly thank Ling Yun.

Ling Yun got into Su Jin's car and gestured for Er Leng and the others to follow.

"Congratulations on escaping death, Mr. Gu." Er Leng tossed him a cell phone. "Here you go. Remember to fill it back in before you leave."

Gu Yixuan was somewhat absent-minded. After taking the phone, he almost dropped it because he couldn't hold it properly.

"Look at you."

Erleng looked disdainful. He hadn't been afraid when someone slit his throat back then, unlike Gu Yixuan who was such a coward.

As the two cars drove away, Gu Yixuan made a phone call to his assistant Wei Lin and silently filled in the soil by himself.

Half an hour later, Wei Lin arrived at the location by car.

"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

Wei Lin looked at him, who was covered in dust and dirt, and was somewhat bewildered.

"It's nothing, go back."

Gu Yixuan got into the car and sat in the back seat, looking lost and dejected.

Back home, he lay in bed for several days.

With the holiday coming to an end, Gu Yixuan remained listless, causing his male assistant, Wei Lin, to become increasingly anxious.

On the day of the roadshow, Gu Yixuan finally got up and took a shower.

He looked in the mirror and had never seen himself so haggard.

"Brother Gu..."

"I am fine."

Gu Yixuan wiped the water droplets from his hair, determined to greet his fans in his best condition.

Fans who knew in advance that he would be doing a roadshow at the Nanyuan Legend Cinema had already snapped up all the tickets for today.

After the movie ended, many fans shouted themselves hoarse as they watched Gu Yixuan come on stage.

Looking at this group of crazy fans, Gu Yixuan's broken heart was rekindled.

Yes, although I can't compete with Ling Yun, I still have hundreds of millions of fans, and I live a much better life than 99% of the people in the world!

Life is about moving forward!

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

While signing autographs for fans, he had just received a notebook from a gas cylinder and hadn't even started writing when he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

He looked down at the dagger stuck in his stomach and felt a wave of dizziness wash over him…

Chapter 172 Hot Spring Trip

The gasps of surprise from the crowd filled my ears.

The gas cylinder suddenly pulled out a knife, its eyes gleaming as it stared intently at Gu Yixuan.

"Gu Yixuan, you are mine! You can only be mine! If I can't have you in this life, I'll die with you!"

Gu Yixuan staggered backward, then everything went black as he collapsed heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.
