Chapter 42

"Si Dong, who is Ji Feng? I've never heard of him before." Feng Zhuxin, like Li Si Dong, is a third-tier celebrity, and he was somewhat puzzled.

"What else could it be? He's good-looking, so he hooked up with someone," Li Sidong said dismissively.

"I wonder who they've hooked up with, probably an investor," Feng Zhuxin said with a hint of envy.

“He’s a good person and very likable. He’s also quite capable. As long as he works hard, it’s only a matter of time before he makes it big,” Zhang Ciyu analyzed objectively.

"That's right, he works so hard and knows how to get along with people. Look, he knows exactly what Director Qian likes about Yuanren. Who brings a pet to the set? Yuanren was borrowed from a friend!" Li Sidong snorted, his tone somewhat sarcastic.

"Can we still borrow Yuanren? My family's pet is very attached to people; it can't be kept by anyone other than family members." Su Feifei had already asked her brother to bring Yuanren over, and it should arrive the day after tomorrow. "I was thinking that since he can bring pets, I'll bring my pet over too to get some fresh air."

The group looked at Su Feifei with some surprise. Su Feifei opened her eyes wide, seemingly a little uneasy: "What's wrong? I used to take my Tuanzi on trips often. There were other people here with their pets, so I brought them over to play together. Pets need to relax too, especially humans. Being cooped up at home for a long time can easily cause stress."

Feng Zhuxin hadn't expected anyone to think the same way. His family had also brought their own Yuanren along. Since everyone else was bringing theirs, he figured it wouldn't be out of place. "Really? I saw Ji Feng bring his too, so I thought I'd bring mine along as well. We can all exchange pet-raising tips."

Li Sidong looked at the two of them, and for a moment he was a little angry: "No, why are you copying him? Don't you find him so scheming and manipulative? He's only on this variety show because he and Lin Baoju climbed into Fang Shengtai's bed together. That big shot is really perverted. They might have been serving more than a dozen people at the same time. They've probably been used up by now!"

Sophie had only heard that this big shot was a pervert, but she never expected him to be this perverted. She couldn't help but exclaim, "A dozen people? My God, isn't that a group doing... you know?"

Li Sidong spoke with absolute certainty, as if he had witnessed it firsthand: "Hmph, how could it be false? Lin Baoju was injured and bedridden for over a month. He only recovered after a powerful figure paid for him to stay in a treatment ward. That Ji Feng, he shares an agent with him, and that agent is known for pimping. Lin Baoju is close to him, and he even spoke up for Ji Feng the day before yesterday! They're definitely in cahoots."

Everyone looked on in astonishment, having just learned of this shocking revelation, and sighed in surprise.

Seeing that everyone else was listening attentively to him, Li Sidong felt a great sense of satisfaction. In less than two days, he estimated that everyone in the group would know about this big news. He thought, "Let's see if he still dares to show off with the original man then!"

Hearing these slanderous words, Ji Feng was furious. He hadn't bothered with this person's slander last time, but now this person had come again. Everyone knew what kind of person Li Sidong was. He seemed innocent and naive on the surface, but in reality, he was willing to risk everything. Did he think that everyone else was like him?

Ji Feng sneered; this time he wouldn't let him off!

However, before Ji Feng could act, Qiao Ye rushed out first. The four of them panicked a little when they saw Qiao Ye. Qiao Ye's appearance meant that Ji Feng must be there too. After all, they were all a little guilty for being caught talking badly about others, including Li Sidong.

Qiao stared straight at this guy who was decent-looking but couldn't say anything nice, then grabbed the plate in front of him and smashed it over Li Sidong's face. Caught off guard, Li Sidong screamed in pain, "Ah, my face!"

As a celebrity actor, one must be most concerned about one's appearance. When Qiao saw him fall to the ground, she threw everything on the table at his face. Li Sidong just protected his face and kept getting up and backing away.

Seeing the commotion, the surrounding guests all stood up and looked over.

Seeing that he had attracted attention, the others at the table shouted for Ji Feng to stop Yuan Ren from going crazy. Ji Feng was initially angry, but when he saw that Qiao also avenged him, he was deeply moved. People might betray you if you are good to them, but pets will never betray you.

Fearing that Li Sidong might hurt Qiao Ye, Ji Feng carried Qiao Ye to a safe area.

Li Sidong was covered in vegetable soup, his eyes were filled with seasoning and he couldn't open them, tears streaming down his face. He was a complete mess, and he was injured by Ji Feng's original form. How could Li Sidong let this go?

Li Sidong practically roared, "You ordered this beast to do this! I'm not done with you! I'll beat this little bastard to death first!"

The others restrained the rioting Li Sidong to prevent a bigger incident. At this time, the barbecue restaurant owner came over and calmed everyone down. He said that he had called the police and that the police would arrive in 5 minutes.

Ji Feng remained unfazed, appearing remarkably calm: "If you dare to lay a finger on this Yuan, I guarantee you'll never be able to make it in the entertainment industry again! As for your recent slander, defamation, and baseless accusations against me, and the cyberbullying you did to me last time, let's settle all accounts together. Just wait for my lawyer's letter!"

Li Sidong seemed to have heard a joke: "A lawyer's letter? Who do you think you are, some big star? What, am I wrong? You've just hooked up with a big shot, and now you're getting cocky? Trying to act high and mighty with me! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

A short while later, the police arrived, and Li Sidong was the first to accuse: "This person condones evil and harms people. Look how badly this beast has injured me! This kind of person must be beaten to death! He must be humanely destroyed! This is outrageous! This person is trying to kill someone!"

Seeing E Yuan lying quietly in Ji Feng's arms, the police officer coldly and sternly questioned Ji Feng: "Does E Yuan have a certificate?"

Ji Feng: Yes

Police officer: "Even if you have one, it's not acceptable. You weren't wearing a rope. According to regulations, you should be dealt with."

Ji Feng sneered: "You have no right to handle this matter; it's a battle pet."

The police officer, thinking they were abusing their power, looked at them with a displeased expression and said, "You'd all have to go to the police station!"

The group went to the police station to verify the situation. Because someone testified that Li Sidong insulted someone first, and Ji Feng instructed Yuan Ren to injure someone afterward, no matter what, Yuan Ren, who injured someone, was a potential threat.

When the police asked to check the pet's license, Ji Feng ignored them and said directly, "This isn't my original owner. Just check the terminal chip ID to find its original owner! Its owner is fighting on the border front and might not be able to be contacted."

Pets are equipped with terminals? The police officer, being well-informed, wasn't surprised, but he did need to find the original owner of the pet responsible for the accident.

The officer then scanned the terminal on Joe's wrist, which displayed: "Access restricted, access denied."

The officer glanced at the clearance level and realized it was a 3S-level person.

The officer was startled and immediately took it seriously. He didn't have the authority at this level, and he guessed that even their superiors didn't have the authority to know.

He immediately informed his superiors. It was so late, and they were all supposed to be resting. They rushed over at this hour. After understanding the situation, they invited Ji Feng to talk alone in the meeting room.

Even the "Evil Primordial" received good treatment, being provided with high-grade Primordial rations.

The police officer naturally knew how important a good original human who was compatible with his master was, especially since this original human was a 3S-level figure, and might even be of a higher level than him.

The bureau chief warmly welcomed Ji Feng, but since no one else was around, Ji Feng said directly, "This man is my brother's; my brother's name is Ji Fang."

The bureau chief nearly choked on his hot water. He swallowed it with difficulty and took a long time to catch his breath. He felt his tongue had been burned, otherwise why would he be unable to speak properly: "What did you say? You're talking about that Ji, the commander of the Seventh Army..."

The bureau chief didn't even dare to say his name. Ji Feng nodded, and the bureau chief instantly became excited. That was Ji Fang, Commander Ji. Who would dare to touch his former subordinate? Even if this former subordinate caused trouble and set the bureau on fire, he would be fine, but the former subordinate would be fine.

Ji Feng requested that the conversation be kept confidential, including the original person's identity and his own identity, which the bureau chief naturally understood.

When Ji Feng came out carrying the original man, Li Sidong was still yelling that he would teach Ji Feng a lesson and kill his original man. But Ji Feng told him to wait for the lawyer's letter, and then left with the original man in a police car escort, leaving Li Sidong dumbfounded.

Li Sidong naturally didn't dare to cause trouble at the police station, but the next day, he received a lawyer's letter. The powerful legal team made Li Sidong realize that Ji Feng had someone behind him. He didn't know who this person was, and no one else did either. This made Li Sidong insanely jealous. Why couldn't such a sugar daddy be his? Why was Ji Feng so lucky, but he couldn't be?

The production team also received a message from the investors, removing Li Sidong from the program.

Then the very next day, a prominent trending topic appeared in the top ten: #Li Sidong's defamation of a competitor was egregious and resulted in the termination of their cooperation#

After seeing this trending topic, Li Sidong's fans online quickly joined the fray.

"My brother is so innocent, he doesn't know anything, how could he slander others? Could it be that others are jealous of him and are slandering him!"

“I’ve been following my brother since his debut. His growth is evident to all. He must have gotten in someone else’s way. I believe the law will deliver justice.”

"They're always sending lawyer's letters, isn't that annoying? My brother is innocent, I'm waiting to see him proven wrong."

"Oh, it was him. A third-tier celebrity with no notable works. I watched his variety shows before and thought he was pretentious, definitely not the innocent person he seems to be. Now he's had his downfall."

"I get so angry when I see him acting like a fool in front of Jingjing in our family. What kind of sunny and cheerful boy is he? He's just a scheming green tea bitch!"

"Didn't he warn others not to piggyback on his popularity? If he were truly a kind and innocent person, how could he say something like that? He must have done something wrong."

"Wait for the results, don't be swayed, let the innocent prove themselves innocent, and the guilty prove themselves guilty."

"..."

Everyone in the crew knows that he offended Ji Feng and is now being targeted by Ji Feng's legal team. Everyone knows what kind of person Li Sidong is, so now that he's down, naturally no one is speaking up for him.

However, this newcomer Ji Feng seems to have quite a background. He has both talent and connections. If someone really supports him, becoming famous is just around the corner.

Everyone started to get along well with Ji Feng, some out of curiosity, some out of goodwill, and some with ulterior motives.

Those with real talent and reputation naturally didn't care about newcomers standing out. Meng Shujing was very happy and patted Ji Feng on the shoulder: "You're great. I didn't realize you were so gentle on the surface, but you have such a strong personality inside, just like me. I like that!"

"I always say, you can't be too pretentious. Some people look innocent and naive, but they're actually vicious inside. They're so narrow-minded that they even argued with a wild animal. They deserve what they got in this situation!"

Meng Shujing always spoke very sharply and bluntly. When he heard that Qiao Ye had beaten Li Sidong, he felt very happy and hugged Qiao Ye in his arms, rubbing him for a while and burying his face in his chest.

Qiao Ye: Help! There's a perverted older sister here!

Ji Feng was delighted to receive praise from his senior and happily expressed his admiration: "Sister Meng, I also really like your personality. I've been listening to your songs since I was a child, and my dad also loves listening to your songs!"

Meng Shujing felt like she was about to choke on her own blood. Her expression was exaggerated, and her lips, painted with lipstick, opened as if she wanted to devour a child as she questioned, "What! You've been hearing this since you were a child? How old are you? Am I that old?"

Ji Feng realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to explain, but his explanation was illogical and incoherent. In the end, he apologized and begged for forgiveness.

At this point, the atmosphere became lively, and everyone burst into laughter.

Meng Shujing was heartbroken and said sadly, "If you lend me your family members for a day, I will forgive you."

Having no other choice, Ji Feng ignored Qiao Ye's cries for help and sold her off.
