Jiang Ji murmured, "Tian Xiaoya, a very familiar name."
Su Zikun turned to look at him, "Tian Xiaoya played the third female lead in your previous drama, a villain who appears innocent on the surface but is actually dark inside. Don't you remember her?"
Jiang Ji's expression was indifferent. "Why remember people who are unrelated?"
Su Zikun was convinced, truly convinced.
Jiang Jiyu has a terrible memory; he forgets people he's just met as soon as he turns his back, and he can never remember anyone's face.
Su Zikun was used to it and gave a brief introduction: "Tian Xiaoya entered the industry ten years ago and has never been very popular. This year she suddenly became a little popular. She has recently participated in three commercial performances and is currently filming a movie."
"Tian Xiaoya is not the main point, let's go inside first."
He knocked gently on the door. "Brother Biao, I'm here. Open the door!"
A middle-aged man opened the door. He was wearing a black vest, had a strong build, and muscular arms.
He glanced warily at the people outside the door, his gaze landing on Su Zikun's face, and his eyes instantly lit up.
The middle-aged man said excitedly, "Xiao Kun, you're finally here! I can hardly control him anymore."
Su Zikun patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Biao, don't worry, we'll definitely be able to handle this."
"Huh? Who are they?" Hu Biao looked at the man on the left. "I know you, you're a top star right now."
Jiang Ji had also heard of his reputation. "Hello, Manager Hu."
Hu Biao is a well-known agent in the entertainment industry, having managed many award-winning actors and actresses.
However, he later semi-retired and stopped leading people.
Su Zikun actually knew this person!
Hu Biao extended a hand. "Jiang Ji, hello. I often hear Xiao Kun mention you... umm?"
Su Zikun quickly covered his mouth; if Jiang Ji heard this, he would surely get a beating.
He chuckled awkwardly a few times, "Haha, Brother Biao, let's catch up later, I'll introduce you to a master."
Hu Biao glanced at the two men and signaled with his eyes that he understood.
Su Zikun let go of her hand. "Brother Biao, let me formally introduce Master Lin. She is the most famous master in the capital. People line up for three whole streets to have their fortunes told by her. In short, she is incredibly awesome, absolutely amazing..."
Lin Xi cleared her throat. "Let's get down to business."
“Okay.” Su Zikun naturally changed the subject. “Brother Biao, you’ve worked hard these past few days.”
"It's no trouble at all." Hu Biao moved aside. "Please, both of you. The house is a bit messy, please bear with me."
Lin Xi nodded slightly and stepped inside.
The room was still black and white, and it was in complete disarray, with all the tables and chairs overturned.
A man was lying on the bed, his hands and feet tightly bound.
At that moment, he was screaming frantically, "Let me go! Let me go!!"
Hu Biao rushed to the bedside, his eyes filled with worry. "He Mohua, calm down."
Upon hearing the name, Jiang Ji paused for a moment, then asked, "Su Zikun, how do you know him?"
He Mohua started out as an idol; he can compose, sing, and dance, and was once very popular.
He is also a top-notch actor, winning numerous awards and holding a very high status. His films are box office hits, and he is hailed as a legend in the entertainment industry.
He Mohua is a low-key person who never makes public appearances except for work. He has rarely been out in public in recent years, and his family background remains a mystery.
Jiang Ji had only heard of him but had never met this senior. Unsure, he asked again, "Are you friends with him?"
He Mohua is nearly forty years old, while Su Zikun is only in his early twenties. How did these two become good friends?
Su Zikun looked at the person struggling on the bed, and his heart clenched. "Of course I know him, he's my uncle."
"Ah, Uncle?" Jiang Ji was even more surprised.
Su Zikun explained, "My uncle doesn't want others to know about his family relationships, so he just used a friend to represent him outside."
My maternal grandfather, Mr. He, had two sons and one daughter. His maternal uncle, He Mohua, was his youngest son.
My uncle didn't like finance or business when he was young. Instead, he formed a group with two teammates and debuted, thus beginning his legendary career in the entertainment industry.
My maternal grandfather had always opposed my uncle's entry into the entertainment industry, but my uncle was stubborn and insisted on it the more he was opposed.
Over the years, he has had very little contact with his family, and the outside world has no idea about his relationship with the He family.
Su Zikun entered the entertainment industry as an agent and came into contact with all sorts of people.
Once, at a party, he was bullied by an old fox, and Brother Biao and his uncle stepped in to help him.
From then on, the two had more contact.
He then learned his uncle's secret...
Su Zikun turned to Lin Xi and said apologetically, "Master, please don't mind, please take a look at my uncle."
Lin Xi gave a faint "hmm".
The man on the bed had bloodshot eyes; he kept twisting his limbs and opening and closing his mouth.
"Where is Tian Xiaoya? Find her! Go find her!"
He was so strong that he broke free of the rope with his left hand and slapped Hu Biao, who was standing next to him.
Hu Biao, being thick-skinned and fleshy, was unharmed after being slapped. He held He Mohua's arm tightly, saying, "Xiao Kun, come and help, I can't hold him down."
"Coming." Su Zikun had just lifted his foot when Lin Xi grabbed him. "No need for you, I'll do it."
She concentrated her spiritual energy at her fingertips and pressed it firmly onto He Mohua's forehead.
The man seemed to have been put on pause; he lay quietly on the bed, no longer struggling.
Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. The master Xiao Kun had found was truly skilled. He thanked him, "Thank you, Master."
Su Zikun rushed over immediately, "Master Lin, I thank you on behalf of my uncle."
"No need to thank me," Lin Xi said calmly. "What's going on?"
Hu Biao fell into recollection, "Master, that woman named Tian Xiaoya has a big problem..."
After turning forty, he stopped managing other celebrities and devoted himself to being He Mohua's manager and bodyguard.
He Mohua has almost retired in recent years, rarely appearing in public except for two or three endorsement events.
