Chapter 655 Depressed Old Friend

When Xiao Peng finished taking a shower, changed his clothes and came out of the locker room, he found that people were looking at him in a strange way.

"Where's that old woman?" Xiao Peng looked around. "Aren't the police here?"

Abby suddenly said, "I seem to be in trouble."

"Are you in trouble? What trouble?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Just after he finished asking, he heard someone shout, "Mr. Xiao, can we get to know each other?"

Xiao Peng looked back and saw a group of people running towards him, all wanting to introduce themselves to him.

“How did you…” Xiao Peng wanted to ask them how they knew who he was, but when he tilted his head and saw Abby, he was stunned: “How did you know my… Damn! William! You big mouth!”

He took off running.

Why did Xiao Peng live here? Wasn't it to avoid being bothered? Now, with Abby saying it, everyone knew he lived here!

My peaceful days are gone! I will never come to this gym again!

He rushed into the high-speed elevator, and now everyone could confirm that he lived on the 51st floor. After the elevator door closed, Xiao Peng breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping pursuit.

When Xiao Peng got on the elevator at night, he slapped his forehead and thought, damn, he had done something stupid. He should have shouted, "The King of the Netherlands is here too!"

How could he not sell him back after William sold him out like this?

Just then his phone rang: "Felix, what's wrong?"

Felix said, "Master, I said I'd see you today, why aren't you home?"

Xiao Peng slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I was just at the gym downstairs. I'm in the elevator and will be going up soon."

When Xiao Peng got out of the elevator, he saw two people: Felix and Boko, whom he hadn't seen in a while. Boko had pretended to be dead after being beaten by Xiao Peng, but they had become very close after spending some time together. However, he hadn't seen him the last time Xiao Peng came to Paris.

"Bo Ke!" Xiao Peng and Bo Ke hugged each other. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you in such a long time."

Boko laughed and said, “I went to make a movie.”

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "What big production?"

"From Woodpecker Company." Boko said.

Xiao Peng was stunned and immediately gave Boko the finger. What was Woodpecker Company? Wasn't it just the largest erotic film production company?

Boko sighed and said, "Don't mention it. I fell in love with a girl in the circle, and she took advantage of me."

"Used?" Xiao Peng, who opened the door, was stunned: "How did you get used?"

He pulled a beer from the fridge and tossed it to Boko.

After opening his beer and taking a sip, Boko said, "I thought I had met my muse, but I never expected people these days to do anything to become famous."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

"She posted the video of us being intimate online," Boko explained.

"Is she crazy?" Xiao Peng asked with his eyes wide open.

"I don't know if she's crazy or not, but I am," Boko said. "Everyone suspects I leaked the video. What woman would do such a thing? I've become a scumbag, and I can't turn over a new leaf. Now she's incredibly famous, and it took me all this time to prove I had nothing to do with her!"

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Don't say it has nothing to do with you. At least you're the male lead, but what did this woman think, sharing the nude photos with you? You're not a star or a big shot."

Bo Ke spread his hands and said, "After all, I am considered a member of the circle, and she is just a small internet celebrity. Why are we not worthy of each other? Besides, those people don't care what she does. They are only interested in her body shape and her performance in bed. It satisfies their voyeuristic desires."

Xiao Peng nodded in understanding. Didn't something similar happen in China? Back then, a little-known car model became a top celebrity and a wealthy figure thanks to a sex video. Whether the video was leaked accidentally or intentionally remains a mystery. When the video first came out, countless people were desperately promoting it. To say that these people were simply promoting it spontaneously would be a bit unrealistic.

Regardless of whether the video was leaked intentionally or accidentally, the beneficiary is the car model. This wasn't an isolated incident in earlier years: a girl selling clothes became the owner of a sex toy store after a sex video leaked, and her business boomed. And Lulu and her mother were even more ruthless, with the mother directly posting a video of her daughter bathing just to become famous.

Fortunately, the relevant departments noticed that something was wrong and began to strictly regulate such things. Now, who wants to become famous through such means? Just wait until you get to jail.

Don’t even mention those internet celebrities, even celebrities have been given the title of ‘bad star’, and they’ll be in trouble if they’re not careful!

This is understandable; public figures must bear the responsibilities of public figures. Why doesn't Xiao Peng want to be famous? It's because of these restrictions. If he were truly a celebrity, his current life of flirting with women would have been a source of much criticism.

Of course he doesn't care. People become famous to make money, and he doesn't expect that being famous or not really doesn't matter to him.

But in Europe, there's no such regulation: unless you're saying something good about China, then you're regulated. Otherwise, you can say whatever you want. If you want to be famous, just post a sex video. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Mischa Barton, Britney Spears, Cica Reilly (Ronaldo's ex-wife), Jennifer Lawrence... the list goes on for at least a few hundred more!

Xiao Peng asked Bo Ke: "How did the matter end up being resolved?"

Boko said helplessly: "It took me so long to prove that the leak of the video had nothing to do with me, but what's the point?"

Xiao Peng said directly: "Go and sue her! Isn't this ruining your reputation?"

"Sue her?" Boko shook his head. "Mr. Xiao, do you think that's possible? Those 'female fighters' would curse me to death! In their eyes, she's the only victim, and what happened to me is simply what I 'deserved.' In matters like this, women are always the weaker party, and whatever men say is wrong. Because of this, Elizabeth has even asked me to stay away from Felix. I'm basically unemployed now. If it weren't for the bonus you gave me when I left your ship, I doubt I could have held on now."

After hearing this, Felix said, "Boko, we are friends from the same ship. You don't have to listen to my mother. We are still good friends."

Xiao Peng was just about to comfort Bo Ke when there was a knock on the door. Xiao Peng thought it was William and Abby, but Felix suddenly jumped up from the sofa and walked towards the door: "They are here!"

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Who else came with you?"
