Chapter 381 Threatening Email, P. Diddy

It's really not serious.

Six days before the completion of filming of "The Rock", Link received an anonymous email with no signature or sender address. It only had his name on it and was sent directly to the crew's location.

After opening the email, Lewinsky screamed in fear and the contents of the email fell to the ground.

Inside was a copy of Time magazine with his picture on the cover.

Someone had drawn an 'X' on the top of the photo with red paint, and there were many scratches and holes on the body of the photo, which looked shocking.

Link took a look and asked his bodyguard Wallace to call the police and hand the email over to them.

This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing after becoming a celebrity.

For example, a female fan followed him to a hotel, ready to devote herself to begging for a role.

During the release of "Seven", he received a package containing bullets, asking him to surrender to the police and admit that he was the one who murdered Simpson's wife, otherwise he would be killed.

There were also crazy fans who tried to sneak into his mansion and spy on his private life. Male fans of Monica, Jennifer, Brooke Shields and others vandalized his car, graffitied on the outside of the car, and cursed him with dirty words, including "scumbag", "give me back my goddess", "Qing Dynasty bug", etc.

The most impressive experience for him was during the release of "Paranormal Activity", when someone mailed him a scary doll with his birthday and zodiac sign on it, telling him that he was under a mysterious curse and asking him to transfer 10 million US dollars to a designated account, otherwise he would be cursed to death.

When encountering these situations, Link usually hands them over to the agency and the police for handling.

At first, the police were not proactive in handling the case, but as his wealth and social status grew rapidly, and he established connections in the political and judicial circles, the police's attitude changed drastically and they began to actively handle these minor cases.

"Link, why would someone send such a scary poster? What do they want to do? Are you in danger?"

Yu Feihong seemed frightened. She hugged his arms with both hands, her face full of worry and concern.

"It's okay, I'm a celebrity, it's common to encounter this kind of thing, don't worry, they are all minor issues."

Link waved his hand and asked the staff to return to their respective posts, and the crew continued to shoot the next scene.

The police took away the evidence and started investigating.

It took three days to investigate and found out that the mail came from San Francisco. It is not yet known who delivered the mail.

There were no suspicious fingerprints on the mail bags and magazines, and the handwriting was rather blurred.

The paint used to draw the 'X' was spray paint, and the scratches on the magazine were made randomly with a sharp object such as a knife or dagger.

The police have not found any other evidence yet.

The San Francisco police and the FBI said they would continue investigating and give him an explanation.

Link expressed his gratitude and didn't take the matter too seriously.

However, due to the large number of gossips in the crew, only one day later, some media reported that Link received a "threatening email" while filming in San Francisco, and someone was planning to murder Link. Some media also claimed that Link was too rich and became the target of kidnapping.

While filming, Link received calls from Quentin Tarantino, Steve Soderbergh, Sam Haskell, Chen Long and others.

Steve asks about his safety and reprimands the person who sent the email.

Chen Long asked him to be more careful and strengthen his personal safety protection.

Only Quentin was excited when he called and said that if he was really kidnapped, he would write a script based on this incident, and the script would definitely be great.

Link smiled.

After the last 'Annual Box Office Ranking' and 'Forbes Global Rich List' came out, many people called to congratulate him, but Quentin didn't call at all. Now that he heard that he was going to be in trouble, Quentin was the first to call and join in the fun.

Link didn't indulge him, and asked him how the preparations for his new movie were going. The Rock was about to be completed, and he was going to start shooting the second movie of the year in June. When would his new movie start shooting? He advised him not to be too lazy, because laziness was a waste of life.

Quentin burst into curses when he heard this, blaming him for pushing too hard and disrupting his rhythm.

Link laughed and hung up the phone contentedly.

"Link, someone wants to kidnap you, and you can still laugh?"

In the director's area, on a folding chair, Jodie Foster put down the director's script, glanced at him, and called him heartless.

"It's okay, probably a prank by fans. You've been famous for more than ten years, so you must have encountered this kind of thing before."

"I used to meet her almost every year, but I've met her less frequently in recent years. Maybe I'm getting older and less attractive."

"Who said that? Don't you think you are getting younger and more beautiful? Your charm is getting stronger and stronger. Even I can't help myself after falling in love with you. Sometimes I really want to fall in love with you forever."

Link wiped her face with his fingers.

Jodie Foster blushed and gave him a look, then pulled his hand and put it in her arms. "Don't be too relaxed. Although the people who delivered the magazines may not necessarily do anything, after you become famous and make a lot of money, there will be more people around you who have bad intentions towards you. It's safer for you to be careful."

"I know. I will."

After his worth increased, his personal security was upgraded from A-level to S-level, and his security level is not much worse than that of the president.

In addition, after multiple enhancements, his physical fitness has reached an inhuman level. Whether it is strength, speed, explosive power, reaction ability, endurance, skin and muscle toughness, resistance to viruses and toxins, etc., it is far beyond the level of normal people.

If someone wants to kidnap him, they will definitely fail.

"Threatening email?"

Los Angeles - Miramax Films, Harvey put down the newspaper, picked up the phone with a stern face and called Ovitz and the other two to ask if they were the ones who did it. Doing so would easily alert the enemy and allow Link to prepare in advance.

Michael Ovitz denied the three and said it was not that boring.

Moreover, Link has many enemies in the circle, and many people want to deal with him. This incident might have been done by someone else and it was just a coincidence.

"Xavi, after all these days, have you figured out how to kill Link?"

In the office, Ovitz asked, holding the phone.

"I'm trying to think of a way. Link is a very timid person. He often brings more than two bodyguards with him when he goes out. He also asks the bodyguards to check if there are any surveillance cameras before going to the bathroom. It's difficult for our people to get close to him, so it's not that easy to kill him."

Harvey said in a dark voice.

"Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. The important thing is to keep it a secret and not let Link find out."

"I know."

Harvey put down the phone and continued reading the newspaper.

In addition to the news that Link received threatening emails, several newspapers today also reported that Link was interviewed by several film companies.

In an interview with the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, Link said that he welcomes other companies to cooperate with Guess Pictures and expressed his willingness to share profits with other film companies so that everyone can make money.

Harvey snorted, unhappy with Link's statement.

Although Link was very generous and was willing to share profits, in fact, Link's goal was to make other film companies follow Guess What Pictures as little brothers and eat the leftovers.

As an ambitious man, Harvey never wants this result. He wants to sit at the Hollywood table and eat meat, the biggest pieces of fat meat. Anyone who dares to stop him is his enemy.

Ding-a-ling!

Harvey frowned when he saw the caller ID. After answering the call, he asked, "Sean, what's the matter?"

The caller was Sean Combs, stage name "Puff Daddy". He was originally a first-tier music producer. His career suffered a setback due to his imprisonment two years ago. At the end of last year, he released a new single "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down", which won the Billboard singles chart and his popularity returned to the first-tier.

He also owns a record company called "Bad Boy". Famous black rappers such as BIG, Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige are all signed singers of the company. He has also produced records for the pop diva Mariah Carey.

Sean Combs is quite famous in the music world and has extensive connections in the entertainment industry. He also likes to hold crazy parties in his villa, inviting many celebrities to eat, drink, gamble, and smoke, and have a really crazy time.

Harvey has known Sean Combs for more than two years and has been invited to attend twice.

"Harvey, I met a beautiful lady at an event yesterday. Her name is Jennifer Lopez. She is very beautiful and has a super sexy body, a big butt, long legs, and honey-colored skin. Wow, she is exactly my taste. I heard that she is an actress. Have you worked with her before? Can you talk to her?"

Sean Combs asked, smacking his lips.

"Jennifer Lopez?"

Harvey couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so he called his secretary to ask.

The secretary told him that Jennifer Lopez was a signed artist of WMA, a Puerto Rican actress who had played important roles in films such as "Sky of the Corn", "Money Train" and "The Butterfly Effect".

In addition to acting, Jennifer is also a singer. She has released an album and achieved good results. She is considered a second- or third-tier singer in the music industry. At the same time, she often appears in the fashion circle, developing in many aspects.

She has another identity, Link's girlfriend. Although she is not prominent among Link's group of girlfriends, she is also one of his public girlfriends.

"Link?"

Harvey frowned immediately. Link was a thorn in his heart now. He would feel uncomfortable whenever he heard this name.

After the secretary left, Harvey told Sean Combs that Jennifer was already taken, and her man was Link, a billionaire and a big shot in the entertainment industry, and advised him not to harass Link's woman, otherwise he would be retaliated by Link.

"Damn it! He has so many women, why would he steal the woman I like?"

Sean Combs cursed Link on the phone, his words filled with anger, jealousy, and some fear.

Harvey chuckled and said, "Link is worth billions of dollars and owns a company with a market value of billions. If he wants to date a female celebrity, no one can refuse him. Don't think about Jennifer anymore. You can't afford to offend her man."

"Humph! What's so great about being rich? I'll blow his skull off with a bullet, and see what use it is for him to make all that money."

Sean Combs shouted.

"Oh! Dear Sean, don't do this. Link has bodyguards protecting him. No one can hurt him. If you really like Jennifer, you might as well find a way to make more money. As long as you have enough money, Jennifer will kick Link away and fall into your arms."

"You're right. Link is far inferior to me in every other aspect except for being rich."

Harvey laughed and continued to verbally provoke Sean Combs.

Sean Combs was a former drug dealer with a gang background and was suspected of multiple criminal cases, including two shooting incidents in November 1994 and June last year.

If we can win him over, we will have an extra weapon to deal with Link.
