After leaving the police station, Zheng Xiao asked Jiang Zao to take her directly to the hospital.
In the car, Zheng Xiao asked Jiang Zao curiously, "What did you say to that beast? Why did he go back on his word so readily? He had the audacity to say he would make me disappear from the industry."
Jiang Zao couldn't explain her rebirth, so she could only say, "I just happened to know a little bit of his weakness."
Then, changing the subject, she couldn't help but nag Zheng Xiao again, "Can't you be a little more rational? You dared to make a move in the police station. What if there were media paparazzi following you? If things get out of hand, your old man will argue with you again."
Zheng Xiao curled her lip nonchalantly: "Let them argue, it's not like we haven't argued before. As for the paparazzi, they've filmed videos of me hitting people before."
Indeed, back when she first debuted, Zheng Xiao made headlines multiple times for her bad temper and tendency to resort to violence.
Although she has already won over most netizens with her talent and strength, she still can't shut up the haters, who still use these two points to criticize her every now and then.
Zheng Xiao was already used to it.
In the hospital parking lot, Zheng Xiao put on a hat and mask before getting out of the car with Jiang Zao.
They found Lu Li, whose wounds had been bandaged but who still needed to be hospitalized for observation, and Zheng Xiao's agent, Andy, in the inpatient ward.
"How is it?" Zheng Xiao took off her hat and mask as soon as she went in.
Andy told her the test results: "Date rape drug, the kind commonly used in the industry. Fortunately, Lu Li has a good willpower and remained conscious throughout. She only had superficial injuries, but she hit her head while struggling and suffered a mild concussion. The doctor recommended that she stay in the hospital for observation overnight."
Zheng Xiao cursed under his breath, "I should have kicked that beast a few more times."
After saying that, he walked to the bedside and, ignoring the gauze still wrapped around Lu Li's head, poked it hard with his finger.
With a disdainful tone: "Weren't you quite sharp-witted when you were racing? You'd put anything in your mouth, haven't you ever experienced the harsh realities of life?"
Fu Yanci, who was floating behind Jiang Zao, finally understood why Zheng Xiao was always rumored to have a bad temper.
If this scene were captured by the media, it would definitely be another scandal of mistreating an assistant.
Lu Li winced in pain, but didn't flinch. "He's a director who wants to work with you. If I offend him, it will affect your career."
There was no hint of bitterness or grievance in Lu Li's tone; he simply stated the facts, but his gaze towards Zheng Xiao was sincere.
Zheng Xiao continued to berate him: "He thinks he can affect my career? Who does he think he is? If I hadn't arrived in time today, you would have become the male lead in a video on that scoundrel's computer tomorrow, for him or many others to watch and enjoy in the future, understand?"
Lu Li seemed surprised by how complicated the entertainment industry was. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If you want to fire me, you can do so anytime. However, I may not be able to pay you back the advance salary immediately. Can we pay in installments? I'll write you an IOU."
Zheng Xiao was so angry she laughed. "What, you think you can run away after getting into trouble? Dream on! You'd better come back to work after two days off, or I'll dock your pay if you skip work!"
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang and left.
"I didn't realize you were treating your assistant so well." On the way home, Jiang Zao couldn't help but tease, "Wouldn't you call this acting out of spite for your male friend?"
Zheng Xiao lit another cigarette. "He's still one of my men, after all. Am I just going to watch him get ruined by that bastard surnamed Zhang? This isn't over yet. Didn't that beast threaten to make me disappear from the industry? This time, Dad will teach him who he can mess with and who he should never touch, even if it means his death."
Jiang knew Zheng Xiao was protective of her, so he dropped her off at the entrance of the residential area and said before she got out of the car, "I'll send you some things when we get home. You can decide what to do with them yourself."
"Speaking in riddles again." Zheng Xiao flicked the remaining cigarette butt into the trash can not far away, waved to Jiang Zao, and entered the community gate.
Fu Yanci was also very curious about what Jiang Zao was up to. After they returned home, Jiang Zao first went to the bedroom to take a look before returning to the study.
With his fingers flying across the keyboard, he hacked into Director Zhang's computer in less than a minute, copied some very graphic and explicit videos, and sent them to Zheng Xiao.
At the same time, he sent Zheng Xiao a WeChat voice message.
"Baby, I don't know anything about the entertainment industry. You can handle those videos yourself."
Fu Yanci, who was floating behind, frowned slightly.
Bao'er?
Why are you calling me that so affectionately?
Soon, Zheng Xiao replied: "Holy crap! These scumbags, I'm going to get a sty. They're so disgusting I feel like throwing up my dinner from last night. Calling them animals is too kind. I was planning to set a trap for them, but now the evidence is all there. I'm going to make sure they get what's coming to them!"
At dawn, as the rising sun brought the first rays of light to the earth, the well-known paparazzi "Foxtail Grass" posted a Weibo post.
At exactly 12 noon, a shocking bombshell will drop!!!
The accompanying image is a clock face showing exactly 12 o'clock.
[If you're so capable, just release it directly. Stop with the teasers.]
I just want to know how amazing it will be!
[Brother Cao gave a rather short deadline this time. What if someone oversleeps and doesn't see this Weibo post, missing the time to buy the ingredients?]
[This is definitely not in line with Brother Cao's usual style. Doesn't he usually announce things the day before and reveal the news the next day?]
As it turns out, netizens' guesses often come true.
Director Zhang, who has been an early riser for many years, had a few drinks after being humiliated by Zheng Xiao last night. For the first time ever, he slept until the afternoon, only to find that he had 99+ private messages and 99+ mentions on Weibo...
The video that he had kept as a trophy is now going viral online.
His name was all over the trending topics.
The comments section was filled with contempt and angry remarks about him.
Holy crap! I admit this is truly shocking. Brother Cao is really something else this time!
[Although the male actors who were sexually exploited were all blurred out, it's obvious they weren't the same person. But Director Zhang's expression was disgusting; it made me throw up my food.]
[Those who were whipped, wasn't that intentional assault? Judging from the sound, they were terrified, yet that beast Zhang could still laugh so happily?]
The abnormal world is beyond our comprehension.
...
Jiang Zao only opened Weibo after Zheng Xiao reminded her, and found that the comment section was indeed full of talented people. Even though the video was blurred, some people were still able to identify which celebrities were being sexually exploited.
Although those videos were quickly taken down due to their graphic content, many netizens still recorded them.
Just as Director Zhang was being handcuffed and taken away by the police in full view of everyone, Zheng Xiao posted a Weibo post.
Zheng Xiao V: Who will truly disappear from the entertainment industry?
The accompanying image is white with black text—utterly idiotic!
Netizen: "?"
What's gotten into this woman now?
[This timing is too coincidental; who would believe it wasn't intentional?]
[Rumor has it that Zheng Xiao assaulted Director Zhang yesterday.]
So, this whole thing was orchestrated by Zheng Xiao? Has the hot-tempered sister transformed into a cleaner of the entertainment industry, ridding the world of this nuisance?
