Chapter 13: Even the Central Mom can’t control me, who does he think he is?!

Chapter 13: Even the Central Mom can't control me, who does he think he is?!

Seeing Jian Li's score, Shi Huayi and Zhou Nan instinctively exchanged glances.

In each other's eyes, they saw scrutiny, suspicion, and... confusion.

Although the entertainment industry was full of hidden talents, people like them, who worked part-time as informants for 'intelligence agencies' or 'domestic and international affairs research institutes,' were not uncommon.

Most of these informants had undergone professional training, with impeccable skills and terrifying abilities, retiring from public view after their missions were accomplished.

But Jian Li's complex persona was something they had never encountered before.

If he was also working part-time, then why did he act as a blood bank, allowing himself to be exploited?

Could it be that he was playing possum to gain an advantage?

Lowering his profile to earn trust,

and then gathering evidence of the Lu Group's crimes?!

If that were true, why would he suddenly reveal his true strength now?!

Could he be a double agent?!

That would be troublesome!

After all, such people were the hardest to deal with...

The two veteran informants began brainstorming, planning to find a chance to contact their superiors and investigate Jian Li's background thoroughly.

Meanwhile, the thirty-eighth-generation leader of a certain sect had simpler thoughts.

Luo Xiaohong, whose real name was Luo Wudi, the heir of the sect, nodded inwardly,

This person has extraordinary bones, a martial arts prodigy, he should be useful to our sect!

Seeing all the astonished looks directed at Jian Li, Lu Yuanhang's expression darkened. He sneered, "It's just a bullseye, is there really a need to be so surprised?"

I can do it too!

With this thought, Lu Yuanhang said, "It's my turn," and took the pistol, heading forward on his own.

He believed that once you mastered the basics of shooting in your youth, you could use it anytime later in life.

But standing in front of the target, he found his hands trembling uncontrollably, and his aim became blurry.

Biting his lip, he suddenly remembered something, and a sly smile appeared on his face. Then came three shots, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The target automatically recoiled, coming close.

Lu Yuanhang immediately exclaimed to the camera, "I got a bullseye too!"

"All three shots!"

"Coach, look at this!"

Feng Dayuan's stern face grew even colder, ignoring Lu Yuanhang's boasting and turning to the side, "Huo Xiao, it's your turn."

"What do you mean?! Are you deliberately targeting me?" Lu Yuanhang's expression changed, "They all got comments, but when it's my turn, you ignore me?"

Feng Dayuan snorted, "Don't you know why?"

Under the sharp gaze, Lu Yuanhang felt guilty.

Did he notice the target paper had been switched?!

Before Lu Yuanhang could speak, Huo Xiao walked to the starting position,

with the same standard stance, presenting a perfect profile to the camera.

The live stream erupted with excited screams,

"Our actor brother is best at shooting! He underwent a year of professional training for a war film! If there were eleven rings, it would definitely be broken by Xiao!"

"Speaking of which, earlier, Lu Yuanhang's bullets seemed off course, not hitting the target at all!"

"Is it so hard to admit others' achievements? The target paper is right there, yet you still slander Xiao? That's too much!"

"Is the production team treating us differently? Why is the coach so biased? Others get praised for completing tasks, but for Xiao, it's always criticism? Director, explain yourself!"

"..."

The director, watching the monitors, sneered and picked up the walkie-talkie, "Later, replay Lu Yuanhang's shooting in slow motion."

The staff member hesitated, "Director, isn't that bad, considering..."

"What's wrong with it?! If he dares to cheat, he deserves to be exposed!" The director was firm.

After putting down the walkie-talkie, the assistant approached, "Boss, if we offend the sponsor, how will we secure funding?"

"Money doesn't make you special," the director raised an eyebrow, "There are plenty of rich people."

"I hate it when others interfere with filming."

"Even the Central Mom can't control me, who does he think he is?!"

Hearing this, the assistant stopped trying to persuade him.

Mainly because he understood the director; Lu Yuanhang's cheating would eventually be discovered, better to distance themselves now.

Additionally, having an insider working against us is absolutely intolerable!

—

The morning shooting session ended, and the guests were led to the cafeteria for lunch.

Due to the isolated location and limited resources, the meals were very simple, mostly consisting of coarse grains and common fruits and vegetables.

Jian Li sat in his chair, picked up a sweet potato, peeled it, and took a bite.

For him, this was a good source of carbohydrates.

If paired with sufficient protein and vitamins, it could be considered a nutritious meal for losing fat and building muscle.

Lu Yuanhang, who had always lived a life of luxury and had refined tastes, showed a look of disdain upon seeing the food on the round table. He glanced at Jian Li, who was enjoying his meal, and said contemptuously,

"A wild boar can't appreciate fine grain."

Jian Li slowly lifted his eyes, "I see your left and right faces aren't quite balanced. Need some help?"

"You dare!" Lu Yuanhang glared at him but changed his tone when he saw the cameraman approaching, "Brother Jian Li, I just thought you might not like it, so I asked. There's no need to get physical, right?"

Jian Li didn't care about being filmed, stuffing more sweet potato into his mouth while showing a suspicious expression, "So skilled at acting, do you practice on your idiot brother every day?"

The words echoed through the screen, and Lu Siqi in the office almost spat out his coffee.

He turned red with anger but noticed that his personal secretary's expression was off. His lips tightened, "Do you want to laugh?"

The personal secretary immediately shook his head, "No."

Lu Siqi's face grew colder, "Jian Li is trying to get my attention in another way!"

The personal secretary nodded promptly, "Exactly."

Lu Siqi, "...Get out!"

The personal secretary responded immediately, "Yes."

After being rebuked, Lu Yuanhang wanted to argue back, but the show's guide walked in with a megaphone and interrupted him, "The ranking for the morning shooting session, based on performance, is as follows:"

"Jian Li, Huo Xiao, Yuan Feng, Luo Xiaohong..."

"The show will award points according to performance evaluations."

"Then we'll combine the scores for the final ranking."

As the guide was about to leave, Lu Yuanhang suddenly stood up, "Wait! Why isn't my score included?!"

"I hit ten rings all three times; I should be first!"

The guide looked over, "Sorry, your score is under suspicion and has been disqualified."

"Suspected?!" Lu Yuanhang was stunned, "Why suspect it? Do you have evidence?"

The guide smiled, "The live feed is continuously replaying. You can check it anytime."

Lu Yuanhang, "..."

What?

Continuous replay?

Are they deliberately trying to mess with me?!
