Chapter 91: Can't We Keep It Clean?!

Today, I planned to give Luo Chen a hard time, and after all the meticulous planning, it was ruined by my agent’s one kick.

Lu Yuanhang was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pointed at them with one hand, stammering “You, you, you,” but couldn’t get a word out.

At this moment, the security guards, who had been briefed and were ready to cooperate, burst into the room, shouting, “Stop! This is attempted murder!”

After he shouted, he realized something was off and looked bewildered, “Brother Yuanhang, where’s the person?”

“By the time you guys got here, the flowers would have wilted!” Lu Yuanhang, furious and anxious, felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The security guard also seemed innocent, “Brother Yuanhang, who knew the elevator would break down? We even climbed the stairs!”

The agent gave a thumbs up, “Dedicated!”

“The company needs talents like you!”

“Shut up!” Lu Yuanhang roared, “I really suspect you’re all in cahoots!”

He suddenly looked as if he had an epiphany, “Are you all undercover agents?”

“Lurking around me to catch me in the act?!”

The agent's expression turned serious upon hearing this,

The head of security spoke up first, “Brother Yuanhang, with only a middle school education, how could I be an undercover agent?!”

“With my credentials, introduce me to some opportunities?”

“Get out!” Lu Yuanhang waved his hand impatiently, “It’s a miracle I haven’t fired you, and now you want me to find you a job?!”

“Everyone out, I don’t want to see any of you!”

The agent hurriedly ushered everyone out, “Go on, be smarter next time.”

He pushed the security guards out and turned back with a fawning smile, “Brother Yuanhang, I—”

“You too, get lost!” Lu Yuanhang shouted, stretching his neck.

The agent nodded immediately, “Sure thing.”

Once outside the office, his expression changed abruptly, and he quickly walked toward the emergency exit, fiddling with his hidden earpiece,

His voice was extremely low, “Subject from Line One has left the building, instruct other departments to continue surveillance and support,”

“Ensure his safety before he becomes a witness.”

Luo Chen hurriedly stepped out of the revolving door of the skyscraper, standing on the street, a look of confusion and complexity flashing across his face...

In the bustling metropolis, life moves at a fast pace, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

Originally, he was just one among the masses, and even after becoming a celebrity, he didn’t feel particularly special,

still ordinary, at the mercy of others, easily lost in the crowd, barely making a sound...

But at this moment, standing among them again, Luo Chen felt as if he was being watched by countless eyes,

just a few seconds made him feel uneasy, his spine tingling...

Luo Chen involuntarily shivered, quickly pulled his hat lower, and ran to the roadside to hail a taxi, leaving in a hurry.

A cleaner, lifting the collar of his shirt, said, “Subject from Line One is heading southeast...”

———

Jian Li was still on set, with the makeup artist standing beside him, looking shy and hesitant.

“Say what you want to say.” His expression was blank, his voice devoid of emotion.

The makeup artist, with a "Well, I'll ask then" look, said, “Brother Li, the kiss scene earlier... it was so intense, I saw your lips swell!”

Jian Li, “...” I knew it!

Clearly, I was the one who initiated the kiss,

how did the director lose control more than I did?!

Could it be... this is what they call adding to the script?!

Just as he was at a loss for words, Huo Xiao entered the room, walking up to Jian Li with an apologetic look.

The makeup artist's eyes lit up instantly, oh my, was she about to witness a drama up close?!

Her hands, which were removing makeup, slowed down unconsciously.

“Xiao Li, I’m sorry, it was my first kiss scene, and I didn’t control myself well,” Huo Xiao’s gaze softened as it fell on Jian Li’s swollen lips, “Does it still hurt? Should I apply some ointment?”

The makeup artist's inner glee, oh oh oh yes! Apply it with your mouth, don’t treat me like an outsider!

“No need,” Jian Li subconsciously touched his unnaturally red lips, “It’s just a minor injury, no need to be so fussy.”

“If you really feel guilty, just be more restrained next time.”

No one can endure such rough treatment!

Huo Xiao nodded, a slight smile curving his lips, “Alright.”

The makeup artist immediately imagined, alright, alright, you agreed so readily, I won’t change next time!

Jian Li turned his gaze to the mirror, immediately spotting the makeup artist trying hard not to laugh.

"..." What’s with your excitement?

Do you have a thing for two guys kissing,

or are you just a freak?

After removing his makeup and stepping out of the dressing room, Wang Sisi was already waiting at the door, her smile almost reaching her ears, "Thank you both, the audition went very well."

"Same time tomorrow, please be on time."

Jian Li nodded, "Sure."

As he walked away, he suddenly remembered something and ran back to Wang Sisi, lowering his voice, "Director, how many kissing scenes are there in total?"

Wang Sisi frowned, pretending to think, "Not many,"

"Maybe just a few dozen?"

Jian Li, "...What?!"

"You know, the censors are really strict these days, so by the time it airs, probably half of them will be cut," Wang Sisi's face showed regret before she perked up again, "So we'll shoot as many as we can, and see how many make it through."

"Better safe than sorry!"

"Can't we keep it more subtle?" Jian Li tried to argue.

Wang Sisi shook her index finger, "Human desire is one of the most primitive forms of art, it shouldn't be covered up or erased!"

Jian Li, "...I can't even argue with that!"

———

Just as she was about to wrap up, Wang Sisi received a call from an unknown number.

It was a local number, so she didn’t hang up, tapping the answer button, "Who is this?"

"It's Lu Siqi." A deep voice came from the speaker.

Wang Sisi, who was watching the monitor playback, froze, crossing her legs, "Mr. Lu, what brings you to call me personally?"

"Does the movie need investment? Lu Group is currently looking for good scripts to expand our film business..."

"Hold it!" Wang Sisi’s tone was less friendly, "Mr. Lu, who in the entertainment industry would dare to work with you now?"

"Who knows when the other shoe will drop, dragging all of us into it!"

Lu Siqi’s voice grew colder, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, do I have to spell it out?" Wang Sisi said casually, "There’s a lot of suspicious money involved, and the authorities are already investigating. It’s only a matter of time before they find something."

Lu Siqi took a deep breath, "What does investigating Lu Yuanhang have to do with me?"

"Tsk tsk, everyone in the industry knows how much you used to dote on him, even setting up a human blood bank to support him," Wang Sisi sneered, "Now you say it has nothing to do with you? Who’s going to believe that?"

"Mr. Lu, we’re a small production, we don’t need much funding. Why don’t you ask other directors?"

The rejection was clear, and Lu Siqi couldn’t bring himself to plead further.

He hung up, his expression turning grim, and turned to his secretary, "Cut off all projects involving Lu Yuanhang, and schedule a board meeting for tomorrow,"

"Vote to expel him immediately!"

The secretary, "...Wow? Finally got some sense?"
