Chapter 1418 The brother-in-law was almost beaten to death
With a gloomy face, Xiao Dao quietly went around to the back. When Chen Sisi saw a pair of feet in front of her, she hurriedly looked up and couldn't help but cry out.
"You...you must be Ting'en's brother-in-law? Please save him."
Xiao Dao and Uncle Qing always carried a gourd of spirit well water in their pockets. He checked Huo Ting'en's breathing; it was weak, indicating that he was seriously injured. Xiao Dao poured the entire gourd of spirit crystal water into Huo Ting'en's mouth, and Huo Ting'en's breathing immediately became firm, showing that he was no longer in danger of dying.
Xiao Dao straightened up and shouted.
"Shut your mouths, all of you."
His imposing presence immediately overwhelmed everyone. Xiao Dao slowly walked up to the people dressed in ancient costumes and calmly asked.
"What's going on? Can anyone tell me?"
Through their conversation, Xiao Dao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that these people were all stuntmen from the film crew.
Today we filmed "The Three Smiles," the scene where Tang Bohu confronts Prince Ning's henchman, Chuan Chang. The actors performed very seriously, and the filming went smoothly. There's only one last shot left; we're changing the film reels.
A young man in a white suit, with long hair and a black bow tie, led a dozen people into the film set. As soon as he saw Chen Sisi, he looked her up and down, his eyes shining, and waved his hand.
One of his men, a man wearing glasses, a suit, and a tie, quickly stepped forward, puffed out his chest, and shouted arrogantly.
"Where's the director? Where's the producer? Get out here right now!"
Director Li Pingqian had to go back to the company urgently, so assistant director Huo Ting'en is in charge of filming now. Director Li has been deliberately training Huo Ting'en recently, and Huo Ting'en has lived up to expectations and made rapid progress.
The filming went very smoothly today. Huo Ting'en and Chen Sisi had planned to have French food at the Peninsula Hotel. The two are very close now. Although they don't actually live together, they have done everything they should do.
Huo Ting'en already knew that his brother-in-law was going to give the City of Light apartment to their family, so he wanted to take over the entire top floor, renovate it, and make it his and Chen Sisi's love nest.
Huo Ting'en stood up angrily and said in a serious tone.
"Sir, please speak politely. I am the director. What can I do for you?"
Just as the middle-aged man was about to lose his temper, the young man coughed, and the middle-aged man quickly suppressed his anger, but still spoke arrogantly.
"Five hundred thousand. My young master wants to be the lead actor, to act opposite Chen Sisi, one of the three princesses of the Great Wall."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ting'en suppressed his anger and said...
"That's impossible. Our film is almost finished. If you, sir, wish to collaborate with a film company, please contact them."
The young man was taken aback, and Huo Ting'en turned around and called out.
"The script supervisor? Where's the script supervisor?"
The script supervisor rushed over.
"What's wrong, Director?"
"Why are so many unauthorized people allowed on set? Clear the set immediately, don't waste film."
The script supervisor's mouth twitched upon hearing this. "Damn it? This is my problem again. This guy barged in with so many people. Do you think I dare to stop him? If I get beaten up, I won't even be able to get medical bills."
At this moment, Chen Sisi, dressed in a theatrical costume, walked up to Huo Ting'en with a cup of tea in her hand.
"Ah En, have a cup of ginseng tea to cool down, don't stoop to their level."
The young man chuckled and bowed politely.
“Hello, Miss Chen. My name is Zhou Fusheng. I graduated from Yale University. My father, Zhou Wenming, is the general manager of Kunpeng Industrial, a member of the Legislative Council, and a Justice of the Peace. I am currently in the United States and I especially enjoy theater. I am known as a performing genius. Therefore, I would like to perform a play with you to enhance our relationship.”
He then continued.
"Five hundred thousand. Miss Chen is beautiful and worth the price."
After he finished speaking, he thought he was being very eloquent, but everyone in the crew looked at him like he was an idiot. If his father hadn't been a Justice of the Peace and a member of parliament, someone would have laughed at him long ago.
Chen Sisi ignored him completely, focusing instead on speaking softly to Huo Ting'en, occasionally letting out a silvery laugh.
Zhou Fusheng's face flushed crimson. No one had ever dared treat him like this before. In America, he could throw money at anyone, and no woman could resist him. But he never expected that after returning home, he would see a picture of Chen Sisi, one of the Three Princesses of Great Wall Film Company, in a magazine and fall in love at first sight. So he brought people to the film set to see if Chen Sisi was really that beautiful.
Now that I've met you in person, I realize you're even more beautiful than in the magazine, and I'm instantly smitten.
Seeing the beauty ignoring him, he couldn't help but step forward and reach out to pull Chen Sisi. Upon seeing this, Huo Ting'en's expression changed, and he slapped the hand away.
"What are you doing? Sisi is my fiancée. Are you trying to steal her away?"
The people around him laughed mockingly, which made Zhou Fusheng furious. He threw a punch at Huo Ting'en, but Huo Ting'en dodged and slapped him back with a crisp sound.
Zhou Fusheng covered his face, staring in disbelief, and shouted loudly.
"You dare hit me? Guards, beat him to death! If he dies, it's on me..."
The men behind him swarmed forward. Huo Ting'en was no match for their numbers and was knocked to the ground in a few blows. A dozen men rushed over and beat him until he passed out.
When the film crew's stuntmen arrived, a fight broke out between the two sides, and Zhou Fusheng was still shouting.
"Kill him! If you don't kill him, you will all die..."
The standoff continued all the way to the hospital entrance. When Xiao Dao heard this, his face turned so dark it was almost dripping with water. He slowly approached the dozen or so burly men and asked in a low voice.
Where is Zhou Fusheng?
Those guards were nothing but bullies who preyed on the weak. No one could withstand the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Dao. The burly man standing in front, holding a stick, was trembling, but he still managed to shout loudly while holding the stick.
"You bastard, how dare you mention my young master's name?"
As he spoke, he swung the stick at Xiaodao. Xiaodao flipped his hand, and the cold light of the blade flashed. He then squatted down and circled around the big man. The big man could no longer stand. He screamed and crashed to the ground like a piece of wood.
The other dozen or so burly men looked at each other, then at their brother lying on the ground. His legs were twitching involuntarily, and spurts of blood were shooting from his wrists and ankles.
This was Xiao Dao's usual method: he severed the tendons in Xiao Dao's hands and feet, and Xiao Dao stood up straight without a single drop of blood splattering on him.
More than a dozen doctors and nurses rushed out of the hospital, led by the hospital director. He didn't know anyone else, but he had to know Xiao Dao. When Zuo Mingyue was hospitalized to give birth, it was Xiao Dao who accompanied Da Bao and stayed outside day and night. This was the big boss's family member, and he absolutely dared not neglect them.
