But those cases are basically from the past, so past that people think they will never happen again.
Indeed, the current entertainment industry is also very chaotic, but what is presented to Sheng Quan is that it seems that everyone is abiding by the premise of "not breaking the law". They may take advantage of others, use unspoken rules, or suppress others and force them to degenerate, but no one dares to force it directly.
But there are always exceptions. With so many different kinds of people in this circle, there will always be some inexplicably confident legal experts.
Sheng Quan knocked on the closed door: "Aike, it's okay, come out."
There was a pause inside, and then there was the sound of moving something. They must be moving something to block the door. About two minutes later, the door slowly opened, and Lin Aike popped her head out. Sheng Quan handed her a bag of clothes: "Change first."
She whispered, "Thank you."
After a while, Lin Aike, who had changed her clothes, came out, and with her came a very beautiful woman. There was blood in the gaps between their fingernails, which should be the origin of the scratches on the faces of the two bodyguards.
Although the hair looked trimmed, it was still messy.
Lin Aike's eyes were still a little red, but when she came out and saw the middle-aged man lying on the ground, hatred immediately flashed in her eyes, and she picked up another intact vase beside her and rushed over.
The two skinny bodyguards were so scared that they stood there, not daring to move. Let alone saving their boss, if there hadn't been a group of strong men blocking the door, they might have already fled.
Lin Aike was stopped by the woman next to her, who said, "He has stopped committing crimes now. It would be illegal to beat him again."
The man on the ground, who was originally horrified, immediately nodded his head after hearing this, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, yes, it's illegal for you to hit me again!"
Someone who just did something illegal now knows how to use the law to protect himself.
Sheng Quan sneered, then quickly calmed down. She tilted her head to look at Jiang Lu, and her tone became meaningful: "It's illegal... Brother Jiang, if no one sues, is it still illegal?"
Jiang Lu glanced at Sheng Quan, nodded, and then fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man. His tone became sinister: "Don't worry, I don't think he can sue you."
The middle-aged man was shocked and looked over in horror: "You, what are you going to do?!"
With such a tone and in such an occasion, and looking at the dozen or so burly men with vicious faces behind Sheng Quan, it was hard for him not to think of killing them to silence them.
Who would go out with so many people, and bodyguards of this level, each of them seems to be battle-hardened and has undergone rigorous training.
He was just feeling panicky when he saw the beautiful woman who was sneering at him waving her hand.
A tall man with sharp eyes, who looked like he could beat ten of him, walked slowly towards him, and with every step he took, he seemed to be weighing where to attack him.
He dodged backwards in panic, but was no match for Jiang Lu's two steps.
Jiang Lu squatted down, looked at the panic-stricken man, and suddenly asked: "Do you like the sea?"
Big! Sea! Throw! Corpses! These people, these people are gangsters! The man was shocked.
He was so frightened that he could hardly speak: "No, no...don't...please, I won't dare to do it again, I really won't dare to do it..."
Jiang Lu ignored his plea and continued slowly, "Everyone likes to look at the sea surface, but you know what? I often go diving. In fact, the seabed is more beautiful. There are always many things that cannot be seen on the sea surface."
The man immediately had images of many body-sinking boxes slowly falling into the sea.
"ah!!!"
He was completely terrified, and didn't even care about being afraid of Jiang Lu in front of him. He rolled and crawled to Sheng Quan and kowtowed frantically:
"I remember now, Sheng Quan, no, you are Miss Sheng!! Miss Sheng, I know I was wrong, I beg you, I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I was confused for a moment, it wasn't me, it was Zeng Wang's Mr. Lou, he said that Lin Aike became popular and disobeyed, and asked me to take some photos so that I can control her!!!"
"Miss Sheng, I beg you, I beg you not to kill me, please don't kill me, I know I was wrong, I really know it, it was Lou Yixing who ordered me to do it, please go find him, please..."
Sheng Quan took a step back in disgust, saying lazily, "What are you talking about? Why would I kill you?"
She patted Lin Aike's slightly trembling hand soothingly, and looked down at the embarrassed middle-aged man. When he breathed a sigh of relief, she said in a light tone:
"Brother Jiang, I'll leave him to you."
"Send him to where he should go. Oh, and send those two who helped him to commit atrocities. Let's go together."
On the road? ! ! !
The man was struck by lightning.
The two bodyguards, who almost wanted to shrink into a vase, froze and tried to run tremblingly, but were easily caught by the burly men blocking the door.
They tried to struggle frantically, but they were no match for this group of people. They were forcibly taken downstairs with their mouths covered, struggling for help all the way.
But for some reason, even though there were so many staff members in the hotel lobby, they just watched coldly and had no intention of coming up to help. Some of them even came over to watch the fun.
In this bright and clear world, these people are so indifferent. Is this still China?
Sheng Quan only drove one car, so the huge group of people simply hailed a taxi at the door. After Jiang Lu called a taxi, he turned around and took the tied-up middle-aged man and forced him into the car.
This guy was tenacious enough, he actually broke free from the cloth covering his mouth, and shouted to the taxi driver for help as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "They are the mafia! They want to kill me! Quick! Call the police! Hurry up and call the police! Help me! I will give you money, a lot of money as a reward!"
What made him despair was that the taxi driver not only ignored his shouting, but even turned back and said to him at the traffic light:
"Stop yelling, it's too noisy. I'm not stupid, why would I let you go? Do you think I'm a fool or a three-year-old child?"
He even said to Jiang Lu: "Brother, cover his mouth and don't let it affect your driving."
At that moment, the middle-aged man instantly felt cold from head to toe.
It turns out that this taxi driver is also one of theirs.
Yes, yes, Sheng Quan was able to buy the Huaxing Building and donated 100 million yuan at will, so she must have great power.
The middle-aged man slumped in his seat like a noodle.
He couldn't hide anymore, he really couldn't hide anymore.
In China, there actually exists such a person who can run rampant without restraint.
Sheng Quan... who is she...
——"I am a good, law-abiding citizen."
Sheng Quan was communicating with the police at the police station: "But our profession does require privacy protection, so it is not easy to report the case in the hotel, so we can only come to the police station to report the case. Yes, my companion is in the car behind with the three people, and they will be here soon."
As he was talking, a taxi stopped in front of the police station. Jiang Lu pulled the tied-up middle-aged man down with one hand, with his arm stretched far away, a posture that allowed him to control the other person while maintaining a long distance.
Sheng Quan was about to go over to him, but he and the man backed away and said, "Don't come over here, he's scared to death."
Hearing this, the police officers who were rushing out paused, but the next second, they bravely stepped forward and took over the criminal suspect from Jiang Lu.
——The kind that tries not to get close to the other person’s pants.
*** "They want to kill me! They want to throw my body into the sea!!"
——"I like scuba diving. I just said one sentence during the conversation. Who knew he would make such a connection? We went straight to the police station after leaving the hotel."
"He hit me! I broke at least three ribs!"
——"This guy wanted to beat up my employer after we interrupted him from committing a crime, but I pushed him away. If he insists on saying so, then check his injuries. I guarantee that he didn't even break a skin."
"That hotel, and that taxi driver, they are all accomplices! They are all in the same group! And that Sheng Quan! She said to let that tall man take us on the road! On the road!"
——"My employer just asked us to send them to the police station. As for the hotel, I did communicate with them, but that was because the incident happened in the hotel, so we asked the hotel manager to come with us to the police station as a witness. The taxi driver? I don't even know him. He knew we caught a criminal and sent him to the police station, and he praised us for being brave."
The police comrades could see that Sheng Quan and his men had deliberately frightened the other party.
But it is true that they were just chatting and there may have been some ambiguity in their words, but they did not do anything to hurt the other person from beginning to end. Even when the other person shouted that he was beaten, the wound was just a little red when checked.
Although they knew that Jiang Lu should have some skills and knew how to hit someone so as to cause him extreme pain without leaving much trace, they really couldn't find out.
Even if this matter goes to court, Sheng Quan and his team will not suffer any loss.
So in the end, the police comrade just said in a gentle voice:
"Next time you encounter a similar situation, don't say such ambiguous words. If the suspect takes it seriously, he might jump off a building or a car to escape. It's originally a good thing to help a friend, but it's not good to cause trouble."
Of course Sheng Quan couldn't say "It would be hard for them to commit suicide if a bunch of people surrounded them", but nodded obediently: "Yes, I remember it all, thank you police comrade."
"Just remember, your friends are out, go and comfort them."
Lin Aike doesn't need any comfort at all now.
In fact, she was really panicked at the beginning. Rather than the possibility of being violated, she was more afraid that her career might be ruined at that moment.
At that time, she instinctively wanted to call the police, but when she was about to dial 110, she was reluctant to do so. As soon as she called the police in such a public area, the police would come to arrest people, and even if there were no paparazzi, passers-by would definitely take photos and videos.
As long as this matter gets out in this way, her career will most likely be ruined, even if it's not her fault.
Then she thought of Sheng Quan.
When Sheng Quan was still in the crew, he once told Lin Aike that if she encountered any difficulties, she could ask her for help.
Even though Sheng Quan arrived quickly and kept talking to her on the phone, her heart was still filled with despair and anger.
Then, she no longer cared about despair and anger.
As she walked downstairs, all she could think about was "What if my rich friend wants to kill someone for me?" and "How can I convince her not to dirty her hands for this kind of crap?"
Lin Aike was completely confused at that time.
Her mental journey at the time was as follows:
Does Mr. Sheng love me so much?
She was willing to kill for me.
But killing is illegal.
But she did it for me, she loves me so much.
No, no, no, that's also illegal. I can't let her go to jail for me.
Sheng Quan thought her hands were shaking because she was still afraid.
But her hands were shaking because she was actually afraid that Sheng Quan would go on a path of no return because of his passion for beauty.
It's a pity that such a scumbag should die, but Mr. Sheng can't commit a crime for her.
So later on, Lin Aike didn't care about fear or despair at all. She just wanted to make Director Sheng stop in his tracks as soon as possible.
Then she said in a trembling voice with tears in the car:
"I know you're venting your anger on me, but this is against the law. If you're caught, you'll go to jail. Let's not kill him, okay..."
The car paused for a second.
Then the two girls sitting next to her burst into laughter.
Sheng Quan almost laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha why are you so silent? Do you really believe that I will kill him? Oh! You don't think I'm some rich girl, do you?"
The new friend next to her was also laughing so hard that she was bent over. She was good-looking to begin with, and with that smile, she looked even more dazzling than Lin Aike: “Hahahahahahaha, so you were thinking about this with that confused look on your face just now. Didn’t we see at a glance that you were trying to scare them? Hahahahaha!”
Then Lin Aike was mercilessly mocked by the two men all the way.
All the grief, despair, helplessness and pain are gone.
If possible, she even wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
While the police comrades were investigating the case, implicating many people in a series of cases and uncovering a "transaction chain", Sheng Quan and Lin Aike made a new friend.
Xu Man.
Although she is beautiful, she is actually a director.
She didn't even know Lin Aike, but they lived in the same hotel. When she came out to get takeout, she bumped into the drowsy Lin Aike and was dragged into the room. After realizing something was wrong, she wanted to call the police, but the other party was alert and noticed.
Not only was her cell phone stolen, she was also forcibly dragged into the room.
Then she hit the other person on the head with a vase.
They started slashing at whoever they saw with the fragments, and after Lin Aike got up drowsily and joined the fight, the two of them went crazy and beat whoever they saw.
Two against three is definitely not a win, not to mention the difference in physical strength between men and women. Lin Aike is still in a weak state, and the clothes of both of them were torn to pieces. However, because of their desperate fighting style, they were eventually forced to hide in the house.
When talking about this experience, Lin Aike felt both fear and gratitude.
"If it weren't for you, I would never have woken up."
Xu Man looks like a beautiful and talented woman, but in fact her personality is very similar to Yuan Zixin, and they both have the chivalrous spirit of helping others when they see injustice.
She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. Even if it wasn't you, I would have helped if I saw you. But next time I will remember to go back to the room before calling the police. I have practiced fighting those scumbags before. It's just that there are too few tools in the hotel. The chair was nailed to the ground. If I had a weapon, I'm not sure who would win."
Sheng Quan was silently eating an apple beside him.
She believed what Xu Man said.
Xu Man, a talented director, is a short-lived character in the book.
The reason why she was a flash in the pan was not because her works had a short lifespan, but because she was blocked by a group of people who coveted her beauty while having a midnight snack.
——Xu Man picked up a chair and started fighting with the five men.
In the end, three of the five men died, two were seriously injured, and she herself died of wound infection.
After watching this plot, Sheng Quan went to the gym and signed up for a membership.
Then because I was always working overtime, I only went there three or five times a year.
At this moment, Xu Man was still chattering:
"I suggest you practice martial arts. Although physical strength is inherently difficult to deal with, we can use weapons to improve it. Next time you encounter a situation like this, you will be able to protect yourself."
"Hey, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go meet Mr. Liu and see if I can get him to invest. Really, these financiers want to invest, but they still have to force someone in. If they want to force someone in, they force someone with no acting skills. If they have no acting skills, they have no acting skills and they are ugly. When will their vision return to normal?"
Sheng Quan held her back.
Xu Man, who looked quite ethereal, turned around and looked at her in confusion: "What?"
Sheng Quan swallowed the apple in his mouth: "I am a normal person."
"I'm here to invest in you. I won't interfere with the crew, nor will I force people in. How much money do you want?"
Xu Man: “…”
According to her herself.
At this moment, she seemed to see the light.
The kind that glitters gold.
