Chapter 62
Chapter 61 – The Wicked Have Their Own Grind
“Ka, Tao Tao, what’s going on?” Feng Nian shouted again.
Luci looked back at Tao Tao, also a little puzzled, the little girl is always out of shape these days, not only filming, but also often in a daze alone during rest, and seems to be avoiding her on purpose.
“Can you still act well?” Feng Nian’s face darkened rarely.
Tao Tao lowered her head and said nothing.
“Director, why don’t you let me guide her a little bit more.” Chi Shuang smoothed things over, and Feng Nian’s expression softened a little.
“Take a break first, and get ready for lunch,” Feng Nian said.
Everyone dispersed, and the staff members were also very puzzled. The little girl was still in good shape a few days ago, and the director praised her very much. Why is it like this all of a sudden?
“Tao Tao, come here.” Chi Shuang called out, then turned and walked to the dressing room.
Lu Ci saw it, and also sneaked up after him.
“Is there anything you don’t understand about this scene?” Chi Shuang raised her hand, motioning for her to sit down.
She shook her head, “No, Teacher Chi.”
“That’s something that bothers you. Would you like to tell me?”
Tao Tao lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and unconsciously clenched her hands.
Chi Shuang took all these small actions of hers into consideration, did not urge her, and waited for her to speak on her own initiative.
“No, Teacher Chi, I might, but I haven’t had a good rest. I’ll be fine after a while.” Tao Tao shook her head and smiled at Chi Shuang.
“Tao Tao, I am a person who loves talent, you can trust me.”
“I heard that you were transferred to Zhaixing Entertainment, and you are the same manager as Chen Lu, is that right?”
Chi Shuang had been observing her expression, and she noticed that when she heard the name Chen Lu, she visibly trembled, making her even more sure that Tao Tao’s change was related to Chen Lu.
“I saw Chen Lu in the crew next door two days ago, did you see it?”
“Tao Tao?”
“No, no, didn’t see it.”
“Really. How does your manager, Yu Ran, treat you?”
Tao Tao pursed her lips, her eyes darkened, “It’s pretty good.”
“Tao Tao, if you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t be able to help you.” Chi Shuang sighed secretly, her tone slightly lowered.
“Thank you, Teacher Chi, but I’m really fine, I’ll go take a rest.” Before going out, Tao Tao looked back at Chi Shuang again.
“Mr. Chi, if it’s you, can you protect Miss Ci?”
Chi Shuang frowned.
Tao Tao bowed to her, turned and left.
As soon as Tao Tao left, Lu Ci entered on the back.
“What do you mean by what you said just now? Tao Tao signed the contract? She is under the same agent as Chen Lu? Those two people are not good people.”
“Well, this is what Zhihan just found out.”
“Did you hear her last words?” Chi Shuang asked.
“Let you protect me?”
“Well, so I think Chen Lu’s target is still you, and she just wants to use Tao Tao to hurt you. Tao Tao is reminding us.”
“But why did Tao Tao do this?” Lu Ci was puzzled.
“Maybe, she has something in Chen Lu’s hands.” Chi Shuang guessed.
“She’s a child, what can she do? She’s really serious. Why doesn’t she come to me when she has difficulties?”
Chi Shuang shook her head, she always felt that Tao Tao’s tone and state of talking to her just now were wrong.
“Little Deer, I’m a little worried.”
“Um?”
“She is only sixteen years old, she has no ability to handle things, and she dare not tell others when she is threatened.”
Luci’s eyelids twitched.
“I will let Zhihan stare over there, but you, you must be by my side these few days, never leave my sight, and never leave my sight.”
“I know, Miss Fu has arranged for bodyguards to protect her in secret.”
The two talked together for a while, and Lu Ci left secretly.
In the afternoon, Tao Tao’s condition improved a bit, and the filming was able to continue.
Chi Shuang stayed at the studio every step of the way, not giving anyone a chance to get close to Lu Ci.
Chi Shuang didn’t let go of her heart until she returned to the hotel after work was over.
Before going to bed, Chi Shuang went to the room of the two to take a look to make sure that the locks on the doors and windows were in good condition, and told Lu Ci to sleep with the door open at night, so that Jiang Fu could hear her in time when she was outside.
At night, Lu Ci was about to fall asleep in a daze when he heard a light knock on the door, and he jerked violently and sat up straight away.
Jiang Fu was outside and heard it too, her eyes widened immediately, and the two looked at each other.
Jiang Fu came to the door and glanced out through the cat’s eyes, “It’s Tao Tao.” She said goodbye to the deer in a low voice.
Lu Ci frowned, and glanced at the time, it was already eleven o’clock, what was the little girl doing looking for her at this time?
“Let her in.”
“But… wait, I’d better inform the bodyguard first.” Jiang Fu sent a text message to the bodyguard, and then went to open the door.
“Tao Tao? Why haven’t you rested so late?”
“Is Miss Ci asleep?”
Jiang Fu frowned, turned her head and glanced, Lu Ci was already dressed, and nodded to her.
“Not yet, come in.” Jiang Fu turned on the light and let people into the room.
“What’s the matter, little girl, it’s so late, why didn’t you rest?” Lu Ci stroked his hair and walked out.
“Sister farewell.” Tao Tao smiled sweetly at her.
Lu Ci was dazzled by her bright smile, startled for a moment, “Sit.”
“What’s the matter, this is, you want to talk to me?”
“I miss you, let’s take a look, did it disturb your rest?”
“No, I just haven’t slept yet.” Lu Ci sat beside Tao Tao, and skillfully raised his hand to rub her head.
“I still remember that when I first saw you, I thought you were cute and wanted to rub your head, but my manager kept staring at me, so I didn’t dare.”
“Then rub it for a while longer.” Tao Tao lowered her head and took the initiative to bring her little head closer.
Her hair was warm, fluffy and smooth to the touch, very comfortable to the touch, and had a faint fragrance, it should have just taken a bath.
Jiang Fu silently watched the somewhat intimate interaction between the two, and secretly sweated for Lu Ci, heh, if that jealous man saw this… the roof would probably blow up.
“Is there something bothering you, do you want to tell me?” Lu Ci asked.
Tao Tao shook her head, “No, I just missed you. I was in the room just now and saw the previously recorded variety show. I thought that you helped me a lot in the show, and you also liked it very much when you were directing the crew. Playing with us newcomers, I feel very nostalgic.”
Tao Tao lowered her head and rubbed the toe of her shoe against the ground. She smiled, looking a little lonely.
“Tao Tao, I heard that you signed the contract with Yu Ran. Neither she nor Chen Lu are good people. Why did you go there?”
“I can’t decide these things.”
“Which company did you belong to? Does the company care if you terminate the contract and change jobs?”
“I didn’t sign the company.”
“Is your family running it for you?” Jiang Fu asked with experience.
“Um.”
“It’s no wonder that people outside the circle think that Zhaixing is a big company. Signing in is like hugging your thighs, but they don’t know that company is very stinky, and it is extremely unpopular in the circle.”
“How long has it been signed?”
“Usually six years.” Jiang Fu continued.
“Twelve years.”
“Why did it take so long to sign?”
Tao Tao didn’t speak, and Lu Ci was also silent for a moment.
“Tao Tao, do you have a bad relationship with your family?” Lu Ci asked.
Tao Tao pursed her lips, and picked the edge of the sofa with her fingers.
“Sister Ci, it’s a pleasure chatting with you. It’s really late today. If there is still a chance, I’ll come to you again. Take a rest. I’m sorry to disturb you.”
“Tao Tao?”
Tao Tao bowed to the two, opened the door and left.
The two looked at each other.
“It’s so strange. I came here at night and didn’t talk about anything interesting.” Jiang Fu looked puzzled, and walked to the sofa again, touched and checked the place where Tao Tao had sat just now, and there was nothing wrong. What strange things are left behind, is it possible that this person is really just here to chat?
Lu Ci’s face was solemn, recalling Tao Tao’s state just now.
“Sister Fu, my intuition is not good, let’s go to Tao Tao, call Ah Shuang, and let Mr. An check Tao Tao’s family by the way.”
“Okay.” Jiang Fu answered and started calling.
As soon as Lu Ci opened the door, Chi Shuang also came out from the opposite side. Lu Ci explained something, and they went straight to Tao Tao’s room.
Luci was afraid of alarming others, so he just knocked on the door lightly, and called Tao Tao again. The child had just returned, so it was impossible for him to fall asleep so soon, but there was no response from the room at all, which made Luci very anxious.
Jiang Fu turned around and ran downstairs to find the hotel manager to get the room card, and several people entered the door.
As soon as they entered the room, they heard the sound of rushing water, and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Could this person be taking a bath?
“Tao Tao? I’m Lu Ci. I’m sorry to barge in suddenly. I need to find you. Are you in?”
Several people waited for a while, but Chi Shuang frowned and pushed the door open when there was no response.
Lu Ci took a look inside and exclaimed, “Tao Tao! Calm down, don’t move!”
In the room, Tao Tao held a fruit knife in her hand and sat on the ground dully.
The shower was pouring over her head, her eyes were empty, and she couldn’t tell whether it was water or tears on her face.
Chi Shuang went in directly and held her wrist to prevent her from hurting herself, “Tao Tao, nothing in this world is more important than your own life, let go and be obedient.”
The two also rushed in to help her take the knife down.
Jiang Fu turned off the faucet, Lu Ci pulled off the towel beside her to help Tao Tao wipe her wet body, Jiang Fu and Chi Shuang looked at each other, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Lu Ci insisted on taking a look, If they hadn’t come, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Fu walked to the door, closed the door, and went to the bedroom to fetch the quilt.
Lu Ci and Chi Shuang helped her to sit on the sofa, Jiang Fu helped her put on the quilt, and the three of them surrounded her.
“Did Chen Lu threaten you? I told you that you could come to me and I could help you. Why didn’t you listen?” Chi Shuang said in a deep voice.
Tao Tao looked up at the few people, tears welled up, like a bank bursting.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, Tao Tao, tell me honestly, Chen Lu asked you to hurt me, right?”
Lu Ci wiped away her tears, she looked at Lu Ci, a little surprised.
“Are you stupid? Even if you don’t want to hurt me, there are still many solutions. How could you think of doing such a thing?”
“I really don’t know what to do, really don’t know…”
“What did she ask you to do?”
“She asked me to drink medicine in your water.”
“What?”
Tao Tao shook her head, her lips trembling.
“Aphrodisiac?” Lu Ci asked.
Tao Tao was startled, and nodded, “She thought, let you drink that glass of water in public…” Tao Tao shook, as if those images appeared in her mind, with a look of panic on her face.
Hearing this, the three of them took a deep breath together, this man is really vicious!
“Where is the medicine?” Lu Ci asked.
Tao Tao got up, went to her bag and took out a small plastic bag, which contained a white powder.
Lu Ci took a look and was about to open the bag when Tao Tao held her down. Tao Tao shook her head at her, “I can’t smell it, I can’t, I’m going to lose control, I’m going to lose control.”
“How do you know?” Looking at Tao Tao’s pale lips, Lu Ci’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that Tao Tao didn’t respond, Lu Ci pushed her hand away, opened the bag, picked up the water glass and poured a glass of water, and poured some powder into the water.
The powder dissolves instantly in water. Luci picked up the water glass and smelled it. It is colorless and odorless, and there is no abnormality at all. It is too easy to be tricked.
“No, no! Sister Ci, I really can’t drink it! It will get out of control, it will really get out of control!”
“How do you know?” Lu Ci asked again.
“Because… I drank…”
The three were shocked.
“When did it happen?” Lu Ci asked in a deep voice.
Tao Tao didn’t answer, she was trembling, as if she was still very scared.
Jiang Fu’s cell phone rang, and she quickly took it out to take a look, her complexion changed, and she showed it to Lu Ci.
Inside was a message from An Zhihan, about Tao Tao’s family. According to the information, Tao Tao’s family favored boys over girls, and Tao Tao was asked to work to earn money early on. Her mother was her manager and gave her He has received a lot of plays, not picking scripts, taking plays whenever he has one, even some vulgar films, this time he was signed to Zhaixing Entertainment, I don’t know what benefits he promised to this company that eats people and doesn’t spit out bones.
After reading Lu Ci, he trembled with anger.
“Chen Lu made a trick for you and left you a handle to blackmail you, didn’t she?”
“How serious it is, tell me.”
Tao Tao shook her head, unable to speak.
Lu Ci has seen this kind of thing a lot, and I somewhat speculate in my heart that the little girl will not hesitate to die, and I am afraid that it will leave behind a video or something, which will make her unable to get rid of it for the rest of her life.
“Tao Tao, listen, even if you die today, it’s useless. At best, you can exchange for a few tears, but people like Chen Lu can still get away with it, and they can use this method to hurt others.”
“Don’t cry, I’ll teach you now what it means to treat a person in the same way.”
“Call Chen Lu, tell her that you are willing to do this, and let her and Yu Ran come here to see you now to discuss this matter.”
“However, even if they are called over, they will definitely not admit it when they see you present.”
“Of course I know. Do you think I asked them to confront them? Call.”
Lu Ci got up and walked around the room, this is also an inner and outer room, which is convenient.
Besides, Tao Tao dialed Yu Ran’s phone, and as soon as it rang, the other person answered it.
“Ran, Sister Ran…”
“What? Figured it out?” Chen Lu’s voice came from the receiver.
“I figured it out, but I don’t know what to do, can you guys teach me?”
“What’s so difficult about it? It’s just…”
“Wait, Tao Tao, where are you now, let’s talk face to face.” Yu Ran’s voice overwhelmed Chen Lu.
Lu Ci raised his eyebrows, this person was quite suspicious, probably because he was afraid that Tao Tao’s recording would leave evidence, fortunately, thanks to her serious suspicion!
“I was in the hotel.”
“Wait, I’ll go over, are everyone else asleep?”
“It should be asleep. If you are worried, you can come back later.”
“There’s nothing to worry about. You are my artist, so I should go to see you. Wait.”
Tao Tao hung up the phone and looked at Lu Ci.
Lu Ci nodded at her, rubbed her head, and wiped away her tears, “Fool, with me here, don’t be afraid.”
“You wait here, we’ll be in the room, when they come, don’t say anything, after letting people into the house, go and guard the door, don’t let them go out, leave the rest to me.” Lu Ci warned .
“Sister Ci, do you really have a way to deal with them?”
“Of course.” Lu Ci blinked at her, led Chi Shuang and Jiang Fu back to the bedroom, and opened the door halfway, so as not to be noticed by the two of them and startle the snake.
“What do you want to do?” Chi Shuang asked in a low voice.
“I will pay back whatever they want to do to me. Sister Fu, I will remember to record the whole process later.”
“Ah.” Jiang Fu was in a daze from the beginning to the end, she could only do what Lu Ci said.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the room, and the three of them held their breath at the same time. Lu Ci poked his head, shook his fist at Tao Tao, and then hid behind the door.
Tao Tao took a deep breath, sank her heart, got up and went to open the door.
“Sister Ran, Sister Lu.” Turning around, she let the two into the room, and then stood obediently at the door.
“Bring me your phone.” Yu Ran reached out to her, took her phone away, checked to see if the recording or video recording was turned on, and nodded to Chen Lu when she saw that there was nothing unusual.
“Why are you so stupid, I need to teach you this little thing.”
“Where’s the medicine?” Chen Lu asked impatiently.
Tao Tao lowered her head and handed over the medicine, and Chen Lu poured some into the water, “Did you see, that’s it, pour it into her water glass tomorrow, understand? Didn’t you drink it before?” What are you pretending to be?”
“Oh yes, I forgot. Your mother handed you that glass of water.” Chen Lu sneered, “Do you remember? Do you know what to do?”
Tao Tao pursed her lips, remained silent, and guarded the door.
“Ask you something, are you dumb again?”
“Sister Fu, have you recorded everything?” Lu Ci’s voice came from the bedroom.
Chen Lu was startled, and exchanged glances with Yu Ran, completely unresponsive, until Lu Ci walked out, the two of them were still on the spot in a daze, as if petrified.
“Come here.” Lu Ci beckoned to Tao Tao, called the person closer, and touched the poor little girl, “Go in and stay for a while, don’t come out when you hear anything, unless I tell you.”
Lu Ci watched her return to the bedroom, then turned to look at Chen Lu.
“You two seem to like to use this despicable method to deal with others.” Lu Ci folded his arms, looked at the two, his eyelids twitched with anger, and kept holding back his anger.
“What do you mean? What did we just say, did you do anything?” Yu Ran asked with a smile.
Lu Ci glanced at the water glass on the table.
“Is there any problem?” Yu Ran picked up the water glass and looked at it, and asked.
“You still have people videotaping you, don’t you? I’m really curious. It’s already twelve o’clock. Instead of resting in your room, you ran to my artist’s room and let people videotape you. What do you want to do?”
Luci chuckled, this person is interesting, and gave her a pre-emptive attack, but she was really cautious, since she came in, said so many words, she didn’t mention her name at all, and this video is really confusing , they only mentioned medicine, but did not say what kind of medicine it was.
But Lu Ci didn’t want to care about these things. Since he deceived people, he must leave conclusive evidence.
“Say a few more words, I’m afraid that after a while, you won’t even have the strength to beg for mercy.” Lu Ci glanced back at the bedroom. She had already opened the windows of the bedroom just now, and the few people should not be affected.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not very interesting, I just want to kindly remind you two to enjoy this wonderful night.”
“What are you talking about? What does it smell like?”
A strong fragrance of flowers filled the living room, Luci’s face turned pale, and he was still trying his best to release his pheromones.
“What’s this smell? What did you do? What did you do!?” Yu Ran pointed at Lu Ci, gradually losing control.
Luci took a few steps back and bumped against the bedroom door, “Open the door, it’s me.” The voice said weakly.
The door opened, and Chi Shuang helped her in, and hugged her to the window, “Are you okay?”
Lu Ci panted, it was too uncomfortable, this feeling of being so tired that it was very difficult to lift his eyelids was too uncomfortable.
Jiang Fu and Tao Tao didn’t know what happened, and when they were still confused, they heard a strange noise coming from outside the house, and it was very… difficult to explain.
“What are they… what are they doing?” Jiang Fu was dumbfounded, this scene is a bit familiar, it seems that last time in the hospital, Lin Jingqiu and the doctors suddenly wanted something, and at that time, Xiaoci also followed Same now, pale and exhausted.
“I gave them the glass of water to drink.”
“Their lives are bad. They met me. They should know what it means to be a wicked person.” Lu Ci chuckled.
“This, this…” Tao Tao’s face turned pale, she was very surprised.
“Isn’t that bad?”
“Why, could it be that I’m the one lying outside?” Lu Ci raised his eyebrows, supporting Chi Shuang to stand firm.
“No no, Miss Ci, I didn’t mean that, but what’s the difference between us and them when we do this…”
“Of course, Tao Tao, you can be kind, but you have to distinguish who you are. Being kind to good people is called kindness, and being kind to evil people is called helping evildoers.”
“They have evil thoughts in their hearts. The current fate is the evil cause they planted and the evil result they got. Besides, I haven’t made them embarrassing in public, so I have taken advantage of them.”
“Although I can help you this time, if I can help you next time, I won’t help you. Tao Tao, remember that the only person you can rely on is yourself. If you don’t become tough and let others bully you, If you don’t know how to resist, even if you are bullied to death, you deserve it!”
