Chapter 161 Mountain City Story, Third Master's Call
"What happened?"
Fatty Lin took a deep breath, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "I got screwed for being a jerk!"
"What do you mean?" I said, indicating that I didn't quite understand.
"The meaning is simple: Sister Xiaoxiao was set up and given to Sui Qiangwen!" Fatty Lin said.
"Who set this up?" I asked.
"Qin Zhihua!" Fatty Lin said.
"Do they have a grudge?" I asked.
"Does the hatred of having one's husband stolen count?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Yang Xiaoxiao is a mistress again?" I immediately realized.
"Who is Qin Zhihua's boyfriend?" Long Nier asked.
"Director Lu Shan!" said Fatty Lin.
I've heard of this person; he's a second-generation scion of the film industry, known as a talented individual.
At this point, Lu Shan hadn't yet exposed his buttocks, unlike later when he did, and was jokingly called "Lu Taijun" by netizens.
"Did Yang Xiaoxiao and Lu Shan get together?" I asked.
"Lushan is filming a war movie, and Sister Xiaoxiao has a role in it. After joining the crew, Sister Xiaoxiao's old habit kicked in; she'd make soup or porridge for Director Lu all the time!" Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Director Lu isn't stupid. He understood immediately what Sister Xiaoxiao was doing, and the two of them ended up together!"
"Qin Zhihua also has a role in this drama, but it's minor; she only stayed for two days before leaving!"
"She's gone, but she's my official girlfriend. She visits the set occasionally, so she'll find out about all the gossip on set very quickly!"
"And then you took revenge?" I asked.
"They're not stupid, it's not that simple!" Fatty Lin exhaled a smoke ring and said, "There aren't many fools in the entertainment industry, they're all shrewd!"
"Qin Zhihua put a lot of effort into this drama, and it's said she even invested in it. After learning about Xiaoxiao and Director Lu's affair, she remained calm and even took the initiative to befriend Yang Xiaoxiao to lower her guard!"
"A few days ago, Xiaoxiao's filming wrapped up, and Qin Zhihua came over and personally treated her to a meal. At the dinner table, Qin Zhihua said that a big boss in Chongqing wanted to find a spokesperson for his product, and since Xiaoxiao wasn't suitable, he recommended her!"
"Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it, assuming Qin Zhihua meant well, so she agreed to go to Shancheng to meet that big boss!"
"When we arrived, the boss was indeed a big boss, but the endorsement deal was completely fabricated!"
"Halfway through that meal, Qin Zhihua made an excuse to slip away, leaving Sister Xiaoxiao there!"
At this point, Fatty Lin didn't continue, but instead sighed.
Long Nier glared at Fatty Lin and said, "Fatty, why are you sighing? Yang Xiaoxiao deserved it, Qin Zhihua did the right thing!"
I didn't dare to say anything. Yang Xiaoxiao deserved it, but Qin Zhihua was also quite ruthless.
In this matter, Director Lu benefited the most.
He not only got Yang Xiaoxiao for free, but also made Qin Zhihua feel a sense of urgency, so she treated him even better, which can be described as a win-win situation.
Actually, Director Lu is the worst of all, the most inhuman.
Qin Zhihua was still foolish enough to scheme against Yang Xiaoxiao for him, little did she know that a few years later, she would also be sent away by Director Lu under the pretext of finding investment.
"Yes, yes, Ni'er, you're right. Qin Zhihua did a great job!"
Lin Pangzi accepted all of Long Nier's criticisms without daring to refute them.
"Lu Shan isn't any better. He just takes whatever's offered to him?" Long Nier changed the subject and started criticizing Director Lu again.
"Yeah, yeah, he's no good either!" I chimed in.
"Fatty, continue, what happened next?" Long Nier asked again.
"Later, Sister Xiaoxiao was taken to a hotel and imprisoned by Sui Qiangwen. A few days later, Sister Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore and pretended to comply. Sui Qiangwen lowered his guard, and she took the opportunity to call me!" Fatty Lin said.
"Are you going to use force?" I asked.
"without!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Sui Qiangwen has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. If we try to use force, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this mountain city!"
"So what did you do?" I asked.
"I booked a room at that hotel, then made a paper effigy to scare Sui Qiangwen. That old bastard has done so many bad things, this scare almost killed him!"
Lin the Fatty laughed when this was mentioned.
"Brother, you're my brother!"
I gave Fatty Lin a thumbs up. Only he could come up with such a terrible idea, but it actually worked!
"Since Qiangwen was hospitalized, I couldn't take care of Sister Xiaoxiao. I picked her up and brought her back to Beijing overnight!" Fatty Lin sighed again, as if remembering something.
After sighing, he said, "Alright, that's enough. I'm going to check on Sister Xiaoxiao. Call me if anything happens!"
"Damn, you say Yang Xiaoxiao is my white moonlight? I think you're the one who's my white moonlight!"
I got up to see Fatty Lin off, muttering to myself as I walked.
"Brother, what did you say?" Long Nier said from behind me.
"It's nothing!"
I waved my hand, patted Fatty Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Take it easy, do you need to get a pill?"
"No need!" Fatty Lin shook his head.
"Don't get emotional!" I warned again.
"Get emotional, my foot! I'm completely untouched by love, you forgot?" Fatty Lin laughed and cursed, then said, "Alright, you can go back now!"
"Um!"
I nodded and watched as Fatty Lin entered the elevator before turning back.
Fatty Lin returned two days later. This time, his face was noticeably thinner, and he looked like he had been working very hard these past two days.
"How is it?"
I asked.
"My wish has been fulfilled!"
Fatty Lin uttered four words.
"Grass!"
His cluelessness completely put my mind at ease, so I said, "I'm going downstairs for acupuncture, you can rest now!"
If I had known he would act like this, I wouldn't have come up. The patients downstairs are still waiting!
"madman!"
I hadn't taken two steps when Fatty Lin called me back.
"What?" I asked, turning around.
"Give me some medicine, I need to replenish my strength!" Fatty Lin said, rubbing his fingers together.
"Drink two cups of medicinal wine, take a nap, and I'll prescribe a tonic for you when you wake up!" I said irritably.
With him like this, I was completely relieved.
After the acupuncture, I went upstairs to check Lin Pangzi's pulse and prescribe medicine. This tonic will last for half a month. You can imagine how many times he has worked hard these past few days.
I teased him about this quite a bit.
He said something like, "To die under a peony is to be a romantic ghost."
That afternoon, my brother and I were arguing when Third Uncle called.
"Third Master?"
I gestured for Fatty Lin to be quiet, answered the phone, and pressed speakerphone.
"Thirteen, are you busy?"
Third Master asked kindly.
"Third Master, I'm not busy!" I said.
"Thirteen, it's like this, the gambling king of Macau, Lu, hasn't been feeling well lately. I'd like you and Little Fatty to go over there and help him recuperate for a while!" Third Master said.
"Third Master, do you still have a connection with Gambling King Lu?" I asked.
"I have a business deal to discuss, and I don't want anything to happen to him before the contract is finalized!"
Third Master said.
"How long will it take us?" I asked.
"It could take as little as six months or as long as a year!" Third Master said.
