Su Zikun sighed, "It's okay, it's okay, money can be earned again, sob sob..."
This time, he really cried.
Lin Xi warned, "Those who are not members of the Xuanmen should not buy things indiscriminately. It is very easy to be scammed, especially for a fool like you who is naive and has too much money. How much money did you spend in total?"
Su Zikun covered his mouth, completely breaking down.
One million! A full one million!!
We absolutely must not let Master Lin know the price; that would make him look incredibly stupid.
Su Zikun burst into tears, "It's heartbreaking, so heartbreaking..."
Jiang Ji's brow twitched.
If we stay any longer, we'll lose all face.
He pulled the person up from the ground. "Let's go!"
"Wait a minute." Su Zikun took a deep breath. "Master Lin, he's my friend!"
Lin Xi looked at the two of them and said, "Things that aren't urgent will have to wait in line. Today's divination is finished."
"Urgent! Very urgent!" Su Zikun shouted. "Master Lin, I wanted to find you a week ago, but you were never at the Divine Calculation Hall. I waited for seven days."
"My friend can't eat or drink anything, and he's going to die if we wait any longer."
Jiang Ji was surprised, "You really have a friend who got into trouble?"
Su Zikun patted his wrinkled clothes. "Otherwise what? How could I dare to make up a story to deceive Master Lin? The master is so powerful, he would definitely see through my lie at a glance."
Jiang Ji let go of her hand. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
He thought Su Zikun was talking nonsense in order to give a gift, spouting rubbish in front of his sister and ruining his image.
Jiang Ji thought for a moment, "Which movie star?"
Su Zikun stuck out his tongue. "I'm not telling you, hmph!"
Pinch him, argue with him, question him, and he won't say a word.
Jiang Ji consciously stepped aside and said, "Master Lin, you can go if you want, but it's okay if you don't have time."
"Oh, no! We can't forget about it!" Su Zikun took out his phone. "Master Lin, please take a look."
The photo is very blurry, like it was taken with a landline camera.
A man was lying on the bed, his whole body wrapped up and his limbs bound.
He was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen, but his scarlet eyes were particularly striking.
Normal people's eyes can't be this red, even if they have conjunctivitis.
Su Zikun asked, "Master Lin, what did you see?"
Lin Xi thought carefully, "Red eyes, gone."
"Huh?" Su Zikun waved his phone. "Master Lin, you must be joking."
Lin Xi said, "The photo is too blurry; I can't see the face clearly."
Su Zikun looked worried and sighed heavily, "Except for Jiang Ji, every celebrity pays great attention to their appearance."
“This friend looks terrible right now. If the photos get out, his acting career will be ruined.”
“Master Lin…” he grabbed Lin Xi’s clothes and called out in a high-pitched voice, “Master Lin…”
Lin Xi said calmly, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Su Zikun's eyes were full of expectation. "Please save him. If he's cured, I'll call you Mom or Dad without any problem."
Lin Xi slapped his hand away, "I can't have a son as big as you. Hurry up and get going, finish this quickly and go home to sleep."
"Thank you, Master Lin." Su Zikun secretly gave Jiang Ji a wink; everything was proceeding according to plan.
Jiang Ji was completely bewildered. "What are you up to?"
Su Zikun just smiled, took two steps forward to lead the way, "Master Lin, my car is this way, please come in."
Jiang Ji strode after him.
If Su Zikun is lying, and his sister throws him off the fifth floor, he will not stop her.
Su Zikun excitedly opened the car door, "Master Lin, let me tell you, that friend of mine is more handsome than Jiang Ji, his acting is better than Jiang Ji's, he has more fans than Jiang Ji, and he's..."
Jiang Ji gave him a cold look. "Su Zikun, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Just drive quietly!"
Su Zikun shouldn't have known about his sister; he's just here to cause trouble and talks badly about her all the time.
Lin Xi felt a little sorry for Jiang Ji. It was a miracle he hadn't gone crazy with such a goofy manager by his side.
Su Zikun glanced furtively in the rearview mirror and gave a lewd smile.
The plan was going smoothly, and Master Lin's expression changed slightly, proving that the self-inflicted injury ruse was effective.
The more miserable Jiang Ji became, the greater Master Lin's emotional changes became.
It turns out Master Lin is all bark and no bite; he's found the trick. He'll continue to expose Jiang Ji's dark history later.
Fifteen minutes later, the black van slowly drove into the villa area. Su Zikun straightened his expression and said, "Master Lin, that friend of mine lives here."
After driving for a while, a noisy commotion came from the car, mixed with some clicking sounds.
Jiang Ji understood immediately and crouched down, covering his head. "There are paparazzi! Turn around!"
Su Zikun stopped the car abruptly and jerked the steering wheel wildly.
The van made a neat drift and squeezed into a corner.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, I applied a one-way window film, otherwise the paparazzi would have come immediately if they could smell it."
Jiang Ji squatted on the back seat, stunned for three seconds before he reacted.
He glanced at Lin Xi, then sat up awkwardly. "I, this..."
"I understand, muscle memory." Lin Xi recalled how she would reflexively cover her head and crouch in a corner when there was thunder.
The two of them were moving in exactly the same way.
Jiang Ji lowered her eyes. "Thank you for your understanding."
His younger sister is understanding and will always find a way to save face for him.
Jiang Ji felt incredibly happy, as if she had been coated in honey.
Su Zikun glanced frantically in the rearview mirror, then clicked his tongue twice. "Master, the paparazzi have spotted us. Let's get out and take the back road."
Lin Xi got off the bus and swaggered down the road.
With villas standing on both sides, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Are celebrities really that rich?"
Su Zikun: "My friend is the youngest Best Actor and a spokesperson for top global luxury brands. His family is a wealthy family, so of course he's rich, unlike someone who defaults on contracts and squanders money every day... mmm..."
Jiang Ji pressed her hand firmly against his mouth, "Can you please say less?! Who exactly is that friend? How do you know about his neighborhood path?"
Su Zikun broke free and ran towards one of the villas.
He crouched down, pulled a key from under a flowerpot, and familiarly opened the door. "This way, Master, this is the back door of the villa."
“That friend was a loner and never liked to communicate with people. He often locked himself in his house. I would check on him every now and then to see if he was dead or not, so I left a small door open.”
At this point, Su Zikun couldn't help but worry, "Very few people know about this place, how did the paparazzi find his house?"
"Let's go in quickly!"
The villa's interior design is monotonous, featuring a simple black and white color scheme.
Su Zikun rushed straight to the second floor, "Master, this way."
As the group approached, a furious roar rang out, "I want to see Tian Xiaoya! Let me go!!"
