Chapter 26: The Overlord’s Face Blindness



When Lu Wenxing heard the words "Mr. Wen", he suddenly looked at Wen Zheng.

Is this the Mr. Wen he was thinking of? Wen Yu’s elder brother?

Lu Wenxing was a little confused. Wen Yu’s eldest brother was actually a mixed-race?

But it’s a bit strange that Wen Yu doesn’t look like a mixed-race.

In the few seconds he was stunned, Wen Zheng had already handcuffed Jiang Zhengqin's hands behind his back and pressed him roughly against the wall.

"Ah! It hurts...hiss."

Wen Zheng did not slow down his force despite Jiang Zhengqin's cry of pain, and he slammed him to the ground hard. Seeing that Wen Zheng was going to continue, Jiang Zhengqin immediately protected his head with his hands.

"Wen, Mr. Wen, this is a misunderstanding."

Lu Wenxing took out his cell phone and prepared to call the front desk. Before he dialed the number, Wen Zheng seemed to have guessed what Lu Wenxing was thinking.

He turned to him and said, "Call the police directly."

"Don't, don't call the police. I don't mean anything else. I, I just want to talk to Lu Wenxing about something. Really, I don't mean anything else."

Wen Zheng looked at him expressionlessly, "Wait for the police to come and explain to them."

It is useless to go to the hotel front desk, they will only send security to chase people away. But it is different if you call the police. Jiang Zhengqin has injured people, investigated the whereabouts of others privately, followed others with bad intentions, etc. As long as there is sufficient evidence, the police station can detain him.

Wen Zheng didn’t know what the feud between Lu Wenxing and Jiang Zhengqin was, but in his eyes, Jiang Zhengqin was just a villain. Although he didn’t know the young man in front of him, Wen Zheng subconsciously wanted to protect him.

Maybe it was because Lu Wenxing looked too clean and was not the type of person like Jiang Zhengqin that would bother her or get involved with him, or maybe it was because Lu Wenxing’s name contained the character “Xing”.

Seeing Wen Zheng's gaze, Lu Wenxing curled his lips politely, "Thank you, Mr. Wen."

"You're welcome."

Wen Zheng was a little glad that he did not leave the elevator, otherwise the young man in front of him would have to face Jiang Zhengqin's entanglement alone. Thinking of this, Wen Zheng couldn't help but frowned, and his eyes became colder.

At this moment, Wen Zheng's cell phone rang.

"It's on the fourth floor, come down for a moment."

After a brief sentence, Wen Zheng hung up the phone. Lu Wenxing hesitated for a few seconds and walked forward.

"Mr. Wen, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Thank you for helping me just now. I can handle the rest myself."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhengqin wished that Wen Zheng would leave quickly. He did not dare to move for the time being and let Wen Zheng pull him by the collar. Firstly, it was because of Wen Zheng's family background, and secondly, Wen Zheng was tall and had long legs. If they really started fighting, he would be in trouble.

To his disappointment, Wen Zheng did not let go, but said to Lu Wenxing.

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Wenxing had originally planned to take over Jiang Zhengqin from Wen Zheng, but he didn't expect Wen Zheng to say that, and he was stunned for a moment.

The protagonist's eldest brother in the novel has a cold personality. It turns out that he is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and is also willing to help others?

The two looked at each other and no one spoke. Even the polite Lu Wenxing didn't know what to say to change this slightly strange atmosphere.

Fortunately, Wen Zheng’s assistant arrived not long after.

"Boss Wen."

When the assistant saw Wen Zheng holding down an unfamiliar man, he was a little surprised, "...Do we need to call the police?"

“The police have been called.”

The person who spoke was Lu Wenxing.

"Lu Wenxing, are you here to film a movie?"

The assistant looked at Lu Wenxing who was standing behind Wen Zheng in surprise. He was blocked by Wen Zheng's tall body.

"Do you know him?" Wen Zheng asked the assistant.

"Yeah, but he doesn't know me. My sister is his fan."

After hearing this, Wen Zheng also understood that Lu Wenxing was an artist. His eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's clean and beautiful face.

Yeah, he should have guessed it.

Wen Zheng had just withdrawn his attention from Lu Wenxing when Jiang Zhengqin moved at an inopportune moment. Wen Zheng's gaze dropped again, and he suddenly remembered what happened at the Xia family's cocktail party yesterday.

The young man who was forced by Jiang Zhengqin, and the words heard at the party.

"Jiang Zhengqin has a criminal record. Many low-profile artists in the industry have been harassed by him."

When Wen Zheng thought of this, his expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly became even darker. Not only Jiang Zhengqin who was nearby, but also Lu Wenxing and the assistant felt it.

"Um... Mr. Wen, there is a video conference at 11:30, and it's already 15 minutes past midnight."

Then, the assistant noticed that Wen Zheng's face looked even uglier.

He had followed Wen Zheng for three years and thought he knew his boss fairly well. He had never seen his boss change his attitude so quickly.

"Mr. Wen, please go ahead and do your work. I can handle it myself."

Lu Wenxing repeated what he had just said. Wen Zheng paused and pushed Jiang Zhengqin to his assistant. "You watch here. The police will be here soon. You help deal with it."

"What about the minutes?"

"I'll ask Xiao Chen to make a remote record. You just wait here."

"Okay, Mr. Wen."

Lu Wenxing knew Wen Zheng’s good intentions, so he did not refuse and thanked him sincerely.

After Wen Zheng left, the assistant was still a little confused, and fell into deep thought as he looked at his boss's background. He was not surprised that Wen Zheng helped Lu Wenxing, but was surprised that Wen Zheng not only helped others, but also was responsible for the aftermath?

He was a little too considerate, and was completely different from the Wen Zheng who usually had a cold face and asked several managers to redo their reports.

Lu Wenxing was delayed from sleeping yesterday because of Jiang Zhengqin's matter. He also went to the police station to give a statement. It was almost one o'clock when he returned to the hotel. He fell asleep as soon as he washed up.

Lu Wenxing yawned continuously when he met the artists from the same group in the elevator early in the morning.

"Wen Xing, why are you so sleepy?"

Lu Wenxing rubbed his nose and said, "I slept late last night."

"Staying up late playing games?"

"Are you staying up late to read the script again?"

"No, I encountered something yesterday and went to the police station."

Lu Wenxing did not hide anything and told the truth.

"Why did you go to the police station?"

The four of them came out of the elevator and happened to meet Gu Yanshen and several other leading actors. After hearing what they said, they also cast inquiring looks at Lu Wenxing.

"I was blocked at the hotel yesterday, but it was nothing serious. I called the police and later went to the police station to make a statement."

"Traffic jam?"

"How come?"

"Is it a fan? Did he meet a sasaeng fan?"

Lu Wenxing shook his head.

He went to give a statement last night, and the police also retrieved the hotel surveillance footage, because Jiang Zhengqin was stopped by Wen Zheng before he did anything, and the scene of him just reaching out his hand did not warrant any responsibility.

I originally thought that the case would just end up in nothing, but unexpectedly, Wen Zheng's assistant received a call and produced some new evidence, so Jiang Zhengqin was directly kept in the detention center.

Lu Wenxing is not stupid. He knows without guessing that the call his assistant received was probably from Wen Zheng. Although he doesn't know why Wen Zheng helped him so much, his impression of Wen Zheng has skyrocketed.

However, he still didn't dare to have too much contact with Wen Zheng, but thanking him verbally seemed insincere. Lu Wenxing, who couldn't figure out how to thank him, could only put the matter aside for the time being.

The group was expressing their condolences and concern to Lu Wenxing. After a long silence, Gu Yanshen put away his phone and said to Lu Wenxing.

"I've booked another room for you. I'll ask my assistant to help you pack your things. You can stay on the fifth floor tonight."

After getting out of the elevator on the fifth floor, there is a security guard sitting at the door, and you need to swipe your room card to enter the corridor. The safety factor is more than twice that of the fourth floor.

"Sure, Gu Yanshen." Song Jiajia gave him a thumbs up, and didn't even call him 'Brother Shen', but just called him by his full name.

"Brother Shen's image in my heart instantly became taller."

"I thought Brother Shen was a cold and aloof actor, but in fact, Brother Shen is a warm-hearted man?"

"Go, what are you warming up for? Do you think Brother Shen is warming you up?"

Lu Wenxing did not refuse Gu Yanshen's kindness, "Thank you, Mr. Gu. I'll go to the front desk to make up the fee."

Gu Yanshen: "What do you want to make up? Ask the crew to reimburse you."

“Hahahahahaha.”

"Director Wang doesn't know what happened at this moment."

"The stingy Director Wang shed tears silently."

After leaving the hotel, several people got into the crew's car and headed to the set.

It had been two or three days since the incident when he was surrounded by Jiang Zhengqin, and Lu Wenxing had almost forgotten about it. He had run into Wen Zheng again in the past few days, and thought that the other party had probably finished his work and gone back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I ran into Wen Zheng who was also waiting for the elevator.

Lu Wenxing was the first to greet him, "Good evening, Mr. Wen."

Wen Zheng nodded, and it was rare for him to start a conversation with someone he had just met. "My assistant told me that you were filming a movie nearby?"

"Oh, yes." When they met again, Lu Wenxing seemed to be able to greet and chat with Wen Zheng calmly, "Mr. Wen, you don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, right?"

"Hmm... I'm a bit face-blind."

Lu Wenxing: ???

Wen Zheng's expression didn't change at all, so much so that Lu Wenxing once wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Who would have thought that the cool and domineering boss Wen Zheng in the novel is actually face-blind?

There are so many new stars in the entertainment industry, and they are all following roughly the same path, with similar heights and looks. Wen Zheng never thought that face blindness was his problem.

Lu Wenxing was so surprised that he couldn't control his expression for a moment. Wen Zheng looked at his dazed expression and thought it was... a little cute. After realizing that his words were ambiguous, Wen Zheng explained again.

"I'm not face-blind to you."

Lu Wenxing's eyes curved, and her long eyelashes looked like two butterfly wings.

"I know, otherwise Mr. Wen wouldn't have paid attention to me just now."

"Mr. Wen is here on a business trip?"

"We are preparing a new investment project here, and I came here to inspect it."

Lu Wenxing knew that Wen Zheng’s investments were always successful, and he immediately showed an envious look. If only he knew how to invest a little, he could buy the house with full payment!

Never mind, I can’t envy you.

Lu Wenxing was just thinking when Wen Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Jiang Zhengqin won't bother you again."

Lu Wenxing thought Jiang Zhengqin was threatened, so he didn't ask any further questions and thanked him again. The two walked out of the elevator together. Lu Wenxing said goodbye but was stopped by Wen Zheng.

“Which drama are you filming?”

Lu Wenxing didn't expect Wen Zheng to be curious about this, "One Hundred Ghosts."

“I’ll go see it when it’s released.”

Wen Zheng himself couldn't explain why he had such a high degree of favorability towards someone he had only met once.

Although he is not busy with work all day, he also goes to the movies in his spare time.

But I never go to see a movie because of anyone.

Lu Wenxing had been on the crew for almost two weeks without realizing it, and he had completed most of his scenes. In the first week, due to his lack of experience, he could not guarantee to give his best performance every time.

In the past few days, Lu Wenxing's shooting progress was a little slower, but compared to other newcomers, Lu Wenxing is already extremely talented.

After a week of adaptation, and with Lu Wenxing's hard work, his progress was astonishing.

The progress was not delayed as expected. Not only was it faster than expected, but many scenes could be shot in one take, causing Director Wang to exclaim that he had found a treasure.

It had been two or three days since Wen Zheng left E City. Lu Wenxing didn't take it seriously until he saw the trending search on Weibo.

#Jiang Zhengqin#

Lu Wenxing clicked on it and found that all of Jiang Zhengqin’s photos and other personal information had been dug out, and the entire Internet was scolding Jiang Zhengqin.

It turned out that after Jiang Zhengqin was sent to the detention center that day, someone sent new evidence.

Just like the recording in Lu Wenxing's hand, there are also several anonymous witnesses.

They accused Jiang Zhengqin of sexual harassment and of using deceptive means to seduce and rape special actors or extras. Due to fear and various considerations, no one dared to report the case to the police until Jiang Zhengqin got into trouble this time.

Those artists who had been forced by him before went to the police station to submit evidence. Jiang Zhengqin had no way to defend himself, so the case was sent directly to court for trial.

The fact that the victims took so long to report the case was certainly not a sudden idea, but someone had contacted them and asked them if they were willing to provide evidence or serve as witnesses to bring Jiang Zhengqin to justice.

Without exception, the comment section was full of insults. After reading the long Weibo post, Lu Wenxing was still quite shocked. If he had known that Jiang Zhengqin had done so many bad things, he should have released the recording long ago.

He actually let the scumbag get away with it for several months.

Fortunately, the victims also stood up bravely. It was all Jiang Zhengqin's own fault.

After reading the Weibo post, Lu Wenxing finally realized what Wen Zheng had told him that day: "Jiang Zhengqin will not bother you again."

Therefore, Wen Zheng actually collected evidence and did not give Jiang Zhengqin a chance to leave the detention center, and sent him directly to jail.

Lu Wenxing really didn't expect that Wen Zheng not only helped him that time, but also investigated so thoroughly. He felt a little curious about Wen Zheng.

It turns out that the domineering boss in the novel is quite... approachable.

While I was browsing Weibo, Ms. Lu received a call.

"Hey, Xingxing. Did I disturb your filming?"

"No, someone else is filming now, I'm taking a break."

"That's good." Ms. Lu was silent for a moment before she said, "Xingxing, there's news from the police station, do you want to see him?"

That year, Lu Wenxing had a high fever after being rescued by Xie Nian. After waking up, he remembered nothing, didn't know where he came from, didn't know who his parents were, and only said that his name was "Xingxing".

Xie Nian immediately went to the police station to report the case. In order to prevent Lu Wenxing from being sent to an orphanage before his biological parents were found, Xie Nian discussed with Ms. Lu and decided to keep Lu Wenxing at home until he found his biological parents.

Because Lu Wenxing needed to be registered to go to school, Ms. Lu gave him this name. "Xing" was taken from his nickname, and "Wen" originally means "to hear", which means that she hopes Lu Wenxing can be found by his biological parents as soon as possible.

In the few years after the report was filed, more and more people came to the door, but the results were disappointing.

Ms. Lu couldn't bear to let Lu Wenxing experience disappointment again and again, so after each disappointment, Ms. Lu would hug Lu Wenxing and comfort him.

"Your parents must love you very much, that's why they nicknamed you 'Star', because stars are the brightest things in the sky, so your existence is also the brightest to your parents."

Lu Wenxing is not afraid of disappointment. As long as he thinks of Ms. Lu’s gentle comfort, all disappointments will turn into hope for the next time.

"Xingxing?" Ms. Lu's voice came again.

Lu Wenxing looked calm, "I want to see you."

The author has something to say: Wen·Face Blind·Zheng: I am only not face-blind to my younger brother.

Xingxing was only five years old when she went missing. Children change a lot, so it is normal that her brother cannot recognize her. Her brother's mixed-race genes are inherited from the previous generation, so his facial features are deeper, and the two brothers look very different.

I met my brother and found out the truth soon. So, don't worry, you made me anxious too QAQ
