Chapter 56 Death

It was already half past ten when the car arrived at Jiang Wu's residence. It was dark at night, and the street lights on the streets of the old apartment complex had fallen into disrepair and were sometimes on and sometimes off, making the entire community look particularly shabby and desolate.

The security guard in the security booth was snoring loudly in his sleep, and Yao Ping got out of the car to wake him up. The security guard let them in without even looking at their license plate.

Han Zhong began to frown when he saw the street lights on the street next to the community. After entering the community and seeing the dilapidated apartment buildings with creaky walls, his brows furrowed even more.

He had heard from Yao Ping that Jiang Wu lived in an old residential area, but he had not expected the infrastructure and security to be so poor. If a criminal broke in, the sixty-year-old security guard at the door would probably not be able to stop him, let alone protect the safety of the residents.

"I'm leaving."

Jiang Wu said hello to Han Zhong and Yao Ping, pushed the door open and got out of the car, then walked a few steps into the building.

Han Zhong rolled down the car window and sat in the car looking at the balcony on the sixth floor of the old apartment building in front of him. About three minutes later, the lights came on on the dark balcony, and he could vaguely see the silhouette of a person walking reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window.

The next second, Han Zhong's phone rang. It was a message from Jiang Wu saying that he had arrived home.

Han replied, "I understand," and then asked Yao Ping, "Are there any other communities with better security nearby?"

"This area is full of out-of-town office workers renting houses, and the security is not very good. Unless you go to the city center, Lijiang Road will be much better, but the rent is also two to three times higher."

In fact, two or three times is conservative. Linhai is a political and economic center, where every inch of land is valuable. Rent and house prices have always been high. For an 18th-tier actor like Jiang Wu who has no fixed salary and relies solely on taking acting jobs, it is indeed difficult to rent a better house.

Han Zhong didn't say anything, but looked at the shabby neighborhood through the car window. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a man wearing a mask passing by the rearview mirror and quickly disappeared.

He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Rong Anzhou: Withdraw your people.

Yao Ping drove out of the neighborhood and suddenly remembered something, "Boss Han, didn't you want to ask Mr. Jiang about the charity auction that night?"

“I forgot.”

Han Zhong looked down at Jiang Wufa's words "I'm home" a few minutes ago, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes, "Let's let him go this time."

Yao Ping heard his boss' cheerful tone and knew that he was in a good mood, so he asked, "Do I need to intervene in Mr. Jiang's crew affairs?"

"No need, Fang Zhiyi will take care of it."

But Han Zhong thought of something else and asked, "Do you know much about the entertainment industry?"

"What do you mean?"

“For example, how to screen film and television resources and how to become an investor.”

"These require professional knowledge, which I don't quite understand."

Han raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say your girlfriend is a fan?"

Yao Ping was helpless, "Boss Han...she is just chasing stars, not creating stars."

Han Zhong didn't say anything. He really didn't understand anything about the entertainment industry, so it seemed he had to ask Zhou Changming.

Inside the apartment, Jiang Wu was feeling lucky that he had escaped a disaster. However, he had not figured out how to make up a lie to deceive Chang Yi.

Before going to bed, he did not forget to remind Fang Zhiyi on WeChat to remember to choose his second male lead.

There was no reply, so Jiang Wu asked again, and then he saw a red exclamation mark.

Fang Zhiyi deleted him.

Jiang Wu looked at the red exclamation mark and fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, He Wenhua called Jiang Wu to inform him that he would join the team the next week. His tone was somewhat relieved, somewhat complicated, and a bit sighing. Before hanging up the phone, he suddenly said, "Be patient, just think of it as a dream."

Jiang Wu was a little confused, but still replied, "Okay."

After listening to this, He Wenhua sighed deeply and hung up the phone.

That afternoon, the official Weibo account of "Asking Life" reposted the makeup photos of several leading actors. The others did not change, only Jiang Wu's was changed to the first two versions. One is a young prince with a bright smile, and the other is a handsome general with blood on his face. The atmosphere is full, and just looking at these two photos can make you imagine a dramatic story.

In the comment section, Jiang Wu's fans and passers-by cheered and praised, but Ke Xingyan's fans could not accept it. Not only did the crew not clarify the matter to Ke Xingyan in the past few days, but they also released the version of Jiang Wufa's makeup photo, which was equivalent to standing on Jiang Wu's side. Ke fans left messages and tagged the official Weibo, asking the crew to give an explanation.

This time, the official Weibo of "Asking about Life" did not play dead, but directly replied to Ko fans: This is the finalized makeup photo. There was a technical problem before, and it has been repaired now~[smile][smile][smile]

Although the official Weibo account admitted that the problem with Jiang Wuding's makeup photo was caused by technical issues, those three smiling expressions were really full of the desire to survive, so many people in the comment section left messages expressing sympathy for the working people. They were so angry that they couldn't say anything and could only post emoticons.

However, fans of Ke Xingyan said that the official has admitted that it was a technical problem, not makeup as Jiang Wu said, so Jiang Wu wronged their brother and Jiang Wu should apologize.

Some fans even left curse messages on Jiang Wu's homepage, saying that anyone who deliberately slandered their brother would be in trouble, and no one would escape.

This wave of fans' actions caused ridicule from passers-by. He Wenhua from the crew couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked someone to call Ke Xingyan and ask them to calm down the fans' troubles immediately, otherwise they would just replace the male lead. After all, everyone knew the truth of the matter.

Ke Xingyan was very surprised at He Wenhua's change of attitude. He had clearly praised him before and said that he would consider replacing Jiang Wu, so how come he suddenly became so tough in just two days?

The broker asked someone to inquire and finally found out that Jiang Wu had investors protecting him and He Wenhua could not do anything.

After knowing this, Ke Xingyan recalled that he had seen Jiang Wu and a married wealthy businessman staying overnight in a hotel before, and could not help but sneer. He said that with Jiang Wu's acting skills, how could he play the second male lead in "Asking Life", and it turned out that he relied on his body to get to the top.

The agent asked, "Should we mention this to Mr. Tang?"

"Don't bother Mr. Tang with such trivial matters." Ke Xingyan looked at the comments in the forum and said meaningfully, "Go to the fan group and give a hint."

The agent paused, then understood and opened the fan group.

At the same time, Han Zhong suddenly received a call from Rong Anzhou.

"What do you mean my people?"

"You are staring at Jiang Wu's people."

Rong Anzhou on the other end of the phone sighed, "After all, I am getting your salary now, so I don't have to send people to keep an eye on your little lover. Don't blame me!"

Han Zhong was slightly stunned. Was he wrong? Did that person just happen to pass by that day?

Han Zhong hung up the phone and sent a message to Jiang Wu, asking him if he felt that someone was following him recently. Jiang Wu replied that he didn't feel anything, and he was about to join the crew, so it might be a paparazzi.

Han Zhong was unsure for a moment and just asked him to go to the crew and be careful, and to tell him if anything happened.

Jiang Wuzheng was packing his clothes in the apartment, and he didn't care about the message. After all, ordinary people couldn't beat him. But he was used to this familiar reminder and worry, so he replied, "I know."

At this time, Zhang Xiaoyu came in with a thermos cup, "Brother Jiang, I brought you this beige thermos cup, right?"

"Um."

Jiang Wutou responded without raising his head. He never had any opinion on these things and left it to Zhang Xiaoyu to decide.

"Please bring some thicker clothes with you, as we will be shooting till winter." Zhang Xiaoyu reminded.

Jiang Wu wanted to say that he was not afraid of the cold, but the moment he raised his head, he was suddenly stunned.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong? Did something leak?"

"no."

Jiang Wu looked at him calmly, or rather, at the luck in him.

In the rapidly changing fate, a variable appeared out of nowhere, like a transparent blade that cut off Zhang Xiaoyu's uncertain luck in the second half of his life.

It's a fatal disaster.
