Chapter 4 Champs Elysees
Yan Wenxiong's pig-killing-like howling quickly attracted the employees. Before the bodyguards arrived, Jiang Wu smashed the fire alarm in the lounge corridor with a golf ball.
Alarms blared and water gushed out from the ceiling.
When the hotel staff heard the alarm, they thought there was a fire and immediately began to evacuate the guests and contact the fire department. The entire hotel was instantly in chaos.
Yan Wenxiong's bodyguards soon came over, but Jiang Wu had already taken Zhang Xiaoyu out of the hall in the chaos. However, before the two of them got home, Jiang Wu passed out in the taxi due to exhaustion.
When Zhang Xiaoyu got out of the car, he couldn't wake the person up no matter what he did and burst into tears. The taxi driver was so scared that he thought someone had died in his car, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away without even bothering to ask for the fare.
Jiang Wusheng was woken up once by his crying. He only had time to say "it's okay" before he fell asleep again. It was three days later when he woke up again, and a lot of things happened in these three short days.
First of all, it was his shot that sent Yan Wenxiong directly to the hospital. There was news that the thing down there was completely unusable due to the injury. The mistresses took the opportunity to bring their illegitimate child to the house to claim recognition as their biological parent. The ex-wife was so angry that she made a scene in the hospital and planned to file for divorce.
This is both good news and bad news. The good news is that Yan Wenxiong cannot take revenge on him for the time being. The bad news is that when the other party recovers, he may face even more terrible revenge.
The second thing is that Zhang Xiaoyu was notified by the stars that he was fired, and Jiang Wucai couldn't help but Yu Guangyuan's exaggeration.
Finally, it was about himself. All his business activities were completely stopped by Star. The third male lead in a web drama that he was originally in talks to play was also assigned to a newcomer in the company. It was obvious that they wanted to cut off all his escape routes and completely hide him.
When he woke up, Zhang Xiaoyu was already praying to God.
Jiang Wu looked at his desperate expression and said, "Don't bow yet. Tell me about Star Entertainment's competing company."
Zhang Xiaoyu responded with a confused look on his face.
Although Zhang Xiaoyu was just an assistant, he was very familiar with the major companies in the entertainment industry and quickly listed five entertainment companies that could compete with celebrities.
Jiang Wu looked through the information of these five companies and finally set his sights on a company called Galaxy Entertainment, whose actual person in charge was the founder and CEO Zhou Changming.
An entertainment company that was just established two years ago has signed many new people in the past two years, but there are few first- and second-tier artists and its competitiveness is relatively weak. However, Galaxy Entertainment has participated in several talent shows held before, which shows the strong capital strength behind the other party.
"There will be a charity party at Champs Elysees at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, and Mr. Zhou will also be in attendance." Zhang Xiaoyu said in embarrassment, but we can't get in without an invitation."
Jiang Wu said calmly, "It will be there when the time comes."
…
At 7:30 the next evening, in the lobby on the first floor of the Champs Elysées Villa in the suburbs of Linhai City, well-dressed celebrities and wealthy businessmen were talking in low voices with goblets in their hands. The light from the crystal lamps reflected the luxurious accessories on their bodies, making them shine brightly.
In the corner, Zhang Xiaoyu, who was wearing a cheap suit, looked at everything in front of him in amazement. Until now, he still didn't understand why his brother Jiang said something that made the receptionist suddenly change his mind and let them in.
"Brother Jiang, you're not some rich second-generation guy who's hiding his identity to get involved in the entertainment industry, are you?"
“…”
Behind him, Jiang Wu was leaning against the wall with his eyes downcast. His chestnut hair had been dyed back to black, and the ordinary black suit made him look taller and slimmer. His handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned. If it weren't for the lollipop in his mouth, he would have looked like a melancholy nobleman.
He woke up in the hospital before, and the doctor couldn't explain the reason for his sudden coma, so he said it might be hypoglycemia. So when he was weak after using a spell on the receptionist at the door, Zhang Xiaoyu immediately stuffed him with a lollipop.
Jiang Wu knew, of course, that he didn't have hypoglycemia and sugar wouldn't work, so he had to deal with it quickly.
"Did you see anyone?" he asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head, "Maybe in the lounge."
Champs Elysées Villa will prepare a separate room as a lounge for guests of special status to avoid being disturbed by others. The lounge is at the end of the long corridor on the right side of the lobby, and there are a total of six rooms.
Jiang Wu soon discovered that only the innermost room No. 3 showed signs of use. After saying hello to Zhang Xiaoyu, he entered the men's restroom while there were few people around, climbed out of the restroom window and reached the window of Room No. 3.
The window was half-open for ventilation, and the room was brightly lit, but no one was there. However, there was some movement coming from the direction of the bathroom, and the other party should be taking a shower. Jiang Wu took the opportunity to climb into the room, and suddenly heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, so he hid behind the curtain.
The room was covered with thick woolen blankets. Jiang Wu could not hear the other person's footsteps. He could only judge from the rustling sounds that the other person was changing clothes. When he was considering when to step forward to avoid embarrassment, the sound suddenly stopped.
Jiang Wu was startled and subconsciously concentrated on finding the other party's breath. However, at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly struck his mind. He wanted to step back immediately, but there was a wall behind him. He simply lifted the curtain and threw it forward.
The two layers of curtains were thrown forward and hit a tall figure. Jiang Wu saw the bathrobe on him and instantly realized that the sound of changing clothes just now was made deliberately by the other party. The other party discovered him the moment he walked out of the bathroom!
Jiang Wu had not expected that Mr. Zhou had such sharp observation skills. He immediately took out a coin from his sleeve and smashed the lamp in the room the moment the other party opened the curtain.
The room suddenly darkened, but Jiang Wu didn't expect that the opponent could actually hit him with a punch. He was startled and raised his hand to block it. After a struggle, he suddenly felt dizzy. The opponent took advantage of this moment to press him against the wall, causing pain on his back.
However, before he could cry out in pain, a punch came towards him in the face with great force!
Jiang Wu was shocked and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, I have no ill intentions, I just want to discuss cooperation with you!"
The fist stopped just an inch in front of his eyes. After a while, a male voice that seemed to be laughing but not laughing rang out in the dark room. "What did you call me?"
Jiang Wu was stunned.
The sound seemed to echo in his ears, low and steady, like the sound of a piano, and even a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"Mr. Zhou Changming, isn't that right?"
“…”
The room was quiet for a moment, and the man's tone became lighter. "What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"
Jiang Wu moved his neck, which was clamped, "...How about you let go first, and we can sit down and talk?"
The man's hand remained motionless, and he said slowly, "I like to talk like this."
Jiang Wu: “…”
He took a deep breath and said, "I have evidence of a celebrity entertainment scandal that is enough to tear the celebrity apart."
"so?"
"...So I think you, Mr. Zhou, should be very interested in the evidence I have."
"Really?"
“…”
He was so nonchalant that Jiang Wu was unsure. "As far as I know, although Galaxy Entertainment is powerful, its foundation is far inferior to those old companies like Stars. Several top artists nowadays are from Stars. If Stars goes bankrupt, the only company that can take over these top artists is Galaxy Entertainment, which has strong capital. Wouldn't Mr. Zhou be tempted?"
This time, the other party did not hesitate and asked directly, "Do you have a grudge against the stars?"
"That's my business."
The door was tightly closed and visibility inside the house was very low. However, because he was too close, the man could still see the outline of the eyes of the young man who was pinned against the wall by him in the dark. The shape of his eyes was as smooth as a beautiful phoenix, with a slightly raised tail. He was looking up at him with his head slightly tilted, cool and proud.
He raised his eyes slightly, "Where's the evidence?"
"Let go first."
“…”
The two men were in a stalemate in the darkness for a moment, and the man let go first. Jiang Wu frowned and touched his neck, then took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it over.
"This USB drive contains recordings and chat records between Lin Yaohui and Yan Wenxiong, involving celebrities forcing artists to engage in sex transactions."
“…”
The man stroked the USB flash drive in his hand and suddenly said in a leisurely tone, "There is something I forgot to tell you——"
"I'm not Zhou Changming. You've got the wrong person."
“…”
The anger of being teased instantly surged into Jiang Wu's heart. His eyes turned cold and he mobilized the internal force in his dantian to slap forward.
The man was sensitive to the danger and, with his years of experience, he dodged the palm strike by leaning to the side. However, the sharp palm strike only missed his chest by a few millimeters, leaving a slight burning sensation.
Realizing that the palm wind was wrong, the man no longer faced Jiang Wu head-on, but just dodged. Jiang Wu's vision was already darkening, and he knew that he could not hold on for much longer, so he rushed forward and knocked the man to the ground in a hurry.
"Bang!"
The two of them fell up and down on the big bed behind them. Jiang Wuling brought down a powerful palm. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the light from the corridor instantly fell on the two of them.
The fierce palm wind lifted the long hair of the person under him, revealing a handsome face with clear edges and corners, a high nose bridge, and narrow eyes like swallow's tails, leaving a shadow at the end of the eyes. The ink-like black eyes are darker than those of ordinary people, cold and bright.
The falling palm stopped abruptly, and Jiang Wu stared at this familiar yet unfamiliar face with his pupils shrinking.
“…Yan Zhong?!”
