Chapter 94: Who the Hell is This Guy?! So Brutal?!

"Which moron is shouting? Do you know how much money I lose when production is halted?!"

Wang Sisi stood up in a rage, looking toward the entrance of the set, only to see an unfamiliar face.

She thought for a moment, "Lu Siqi?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Just came, why are you barking like a mad dog?!"

Wang Sisi didn't give him a good look, gesturing to her assistant, "Go, get security to remove him."

"Director Wang, isn't this bad for an investor?" Lu Siqi walked in with a forced smile, deliberately glancing at Jian Li's direction as he stood before Wang Sisi.

"Investor?" Wang Sisi asked skeptically, "Didn't I already reject you? How thick-skinned can you be, appointing yourself a position?"

"The biggest investor in your film has transferred his shares to me," Lu Siqi said slowly, making sure everyone heard, "I will take over all his business interests."

Wang Sisi was taken aback, "Damn, you went through all this just to be an investor?"

"Got nothing better to do?"

Lu Siqi's face turned cold, "Director Wang, please watch your words."

"Fine, I know you're an investor now, so go away and don't delay my shooting," Wang Sisi waved her hand and sat back down.

But Lu Siqi had no intention of leaving. He turned to another person, "Director Wang, I should inform you, this is the new screenwriter. She will be responsible for the second draft."

"All scenes that do not align with mainstream values or contain inappropriate content will be removed."

Hearing this, Wang Sisi laughed and crossed one leg over the other, "Why don't you just delete me, Mr. Lu?"

"If you're dissatisfied, Director Wang, you can resign voluntarily," Lu Siqi smiled, looking confident.

Wang Sisi, "..."

She paused, then stood up, "Alright, you win."

"Wrap it up, we're done for today."

"Director Wang, you can call it a day, but the losses incurred by the crew will be on you."

Wang Sisi turned to glare at Lu Siqi, who wore a sinister smile, "Moron, I can afford this amount."

With those harsh words, she left.

Without their leader, no one wanted to stay, and they all followed her out of the set, grumbling.

Jian Li, who had just finished a kissing scene, still looked a bit off. As he passed Lu Siqi, the latter called out, "Aren't you going to thank me?"

"For saving you from the fire?"

Jian Li turned his head, giving Lu Siqi a look of disdain, "Who else would be the fire besides you?"

Lu Siqi's expression darkened, "Can you stop being so stubborn? I've already bowed to you and even bought a company to show my sincerity. What more do you want?"

Jian Li smiled, "Will you do whatever I want?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lu Siqi's voice brightened, "Tell me what you want."

"I want you to leave," Jian Li started walking, "Stay out of my sight."

"You're such a nuisance."

Lu Siqi growled, "Jian Li!"

After shouting, he tried to chase after him but was blocked by Huo Xiao, "Being an investor won't help. Change the shell, and the show will still go on."

"At least you came early, otherwise our losses would have been greater."

Lu Siqi narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Huo Xiao sneered, "The Huo Group will take over all of Director Wang Sisi's projects, regardless of the script."

With that, he strode off to catch up with Jian Li.

In a moment, the vast shooting site was left with only Lu Siqi and his new screenwriter.

"Mr. Lu?" the new screenwriter asked cautiously, "Should we still revise the script?"

"Revise my ass," Lu Siqi, unable to vent his anger, lashed out at her, "Get lost and wait for further notice."

The new screenwriter shrank back, "Okay."

———

In a government building, a confidential office.

A large screen played a recording from a hidden camera.

The figure on the screen was running around, holding his head and screaming in pain,

Each whip crack sounded as if it were striking flesh directly.

The officials in the meeting room looked grim, as if the whips were striking them.

A new voice whispered, "Who is this? She’s way too brutal!"

"You don’t know?" the person beside him exclaimed, "She’s the most outstanding external hire, still a blacklisted individual, with no official records."

"Ah?!" The newcomer’s face was filled with admiration, "What’s her name?"

"Luo Wudi."

"She sure lives up to her name!"

The scene cut off, and the director spoke, "Congratulations, everyone, we’ve successfully blocked another international money laundering operation!"

"Of course, besides the hard work of everyone here, there are also some underground comrades who cannot be exposed!"

"Their contributions are even more remarkable!"

"They have sacrificed personal glory to become unsung heroes..."

"Let’s pay tribute to them!"

Applause erupted, and the director gestured for everyone to stop, "But we can’t be complacent with our achievements, because not all criminals have been caught yet."

"The ones that have surfaced are just small fry; the masterminds are still cunningly hiding..."

Just as he said this, the office door suddenly swung open.

An office worker looked troubled, "Director, the suspect refuses to give a statement, what should we do?"

The director frowned, "Do I need to be asked about such trivial matters? Have you wasted all those years of interrogation experience?!"

"Director, they’re being too stubborn, using every trick in the book."

The director thought for a moment and then said, "Go find Luo Wudi, and ask her for help!"

Thus, Luo Xiaohong, who was about to head back to the mountain gate for a vacation, received an urgent call just as she sat in her car.

"What now! I finally get some annual leave, and you keep calling me?!"

"What, external hires don’t deserve benefits?!"

"No amount of money will change my mind, and stop trying to fool me,"

"Your department is practically broke, don’t think I don’t know!"

"Alright, alright... wait for me!"

Half an hour later, powerful footsteps echoed through the office building.

As she approached the interrogation room, someone handed her a soft whip,

"Sister Wudi, here you go."

Luo Wudi took it lazily, glancing at the person, "Tell your director to buy me a drink after work."

"Sure thing!"

Then, she pushed open the door.

For a moment, there was silence, followed by a burst of screams,

"Ahhh, why is it you again—"

"Get out now, or I’ll report you for torture—"

"Sis, sis, I’m sorry,"

"I’ll kneel if that helps?!"
