Chapter 387: Actually, I am an actor
Cheqi Tianwang was stunned.
Completely stunned.
Everything suddenly flooded into his mind, countless scenes flashing back like a slideshow.
Jiang Xiaohou, with her bare legs, standing in that dimly lit room, a scene both frantic and eerie.
Himself and today's group, just yesterday, they were beating up Long Aotian together.
Long Aotian negotiating with him, giving him only forty-eight hours.
Dangkou Tianwang negotiating with him, confirming their division of labor.
Jiang Xiaohou, now obedient and well-behaved, shy and nervous...
What is going on?!
No... no, this isn't right… something's not right!
She captured my brother, then captured me, and now she wants me to kill Lu Chengwen!
But turns out, she is Lu Chengwen's sister!?
Is she using me to fight for the family inheritance? But at her age, even if she gets rid of her brother, she wouldn't be the one to inherit!
What is happening… what the hell is happening?
Ahu, Fubo Tianwang, and the others gathered around, praising Jiang Xiaohou for being smart, adorable, obedient, and well-behaved...
Jiang Xiaohou smiled shyly, nervously thanking each of them.
She looked timidly at the slumped Cheqi Tianwang. "Gege, why were you all hitting that man?"
"Huh?" Lu Chengwen was stunned. "Hitting someone? No, we weren't!"
"But... I clearly saw you all hitting someone, a lot of people hitting one person…"
"Uh…"
Lu Chengwen panicked a little.
[Damn, what do I do? I've never raised a kid before!]
[She's so young, but she saw the brutal battles of ancient martial artists. That's really bad for her development!]
[What if I ruin this pure child's mental health? If I plant the seed of violence in her, I'll be sinning big time!]
Lu Chengwen scratched his head, and the strategist immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Houhou, don't be scared. We're just filming a movie!"
"Filming? What does that mean?"
"It's like the movies and TV dramas you see on television!"
Xiao Houhou's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? Gege, you're that amazing? You can be on TV?"
Lu Chengwen grabbed the opportunity and quickly said, "Of course! Ah, your gege is super capable. There's nothing I can't do! As long as I spend money, forget about being on TV, I can even buy the whole TV station!"
"Hmm?"
The strategist quickly chimed in, "Xiao Houhou, be good, go back for now. The adults have things to do."
"You're still going to hit him?"
"I already said it's a movie!" Lu Chengwen got anxious. "You're just a kid, stop causing trouble. Go back quickly!"
Xiao Houhou pouted, her big watery eyes filling with tears that dripped down like large pearls.
Ahu saw this and thought, I need to step up.
He rushed over. "Xiao Hou, don't be scared. It's really just acting, everything is fake. We're not actually hurting anyone. We're all good people!"
"But he's bleeding a lot."
"That's fake, all fake. It's just chicken blood or dog blood."
"But he can't even stand up!"
"What do you mean he can't? He can stand if he wants to."
Ahu signaled A'Long and A'Yin with his eyes. The two hurried over, propping up the dazed Cheqi Tianwang and making him stand.
Xiao Houhou nodded. "Wow, he really stood up!"
"See? Would Tiger-ge lie to a child?"
Xiao Houhou asked, "Then his injuries… are they really okay?"
"All fake, not painful at all!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Ahu walked up to Cheqi Tianwang and whispered, "Bear with it, or I'll kill you."
Cheqi's face turned pale. "What are you planning?"
Ahu pounded three times on Cheqi's wound. "Look, he doesn't even feel pain!"
Cheqi wasn't just in pain—he was in so much agony that he spasmed and couldn't even scream.
Xiao Houhou nodded. "Wow, it really doesn't hurt! Can I try?"
"Huh?!" Ahu froze.
Xiao Houhou walked over and gently pinched a piece of Cheqi Tianwang's skin.
Everyone froze.
What now?
A'Long clenched a fist near his mouth and whispered, "Hold it in… for the sake of the child's pure heart."
Cheqi was furious and was about to speak when Jiang Xiaohou suddenly grinned and ripped open a part of his wound.
Cheqi let out a howl, but before he could scream, Ahu covered his mouth. "See? No pain at all!"
"Then why is he squirming around?"
"He's acting! To make it more realistic!"
"Ohhh! It's so real! I saw you stab him with a sword earlier. That didn't hurt either?"
No one dared to answer.
Ahu felt like he had dug himself into a hole. "Uh… it's a prop sword, so… it shouldn't hurt… right, Cheqi?"
Cheqi Tianwang's face was covered in sweat, mixing with his dried blood. His expression was full of grief and indignation.
But when he met Jiang Xiaohou's sinister gaze, for a moment, he couldn't even speak.
Jiang Xiaohou excitedly picked up a sword. "Wow, this prop looks so real! Let me stab a few times to try!"
Pfft!
"Eh!? It really doesn't hurt!"
Pfft pfft!
"Wow! So amazing!"
Pfft pfft pfft!
"Too much fun, haha! Filming is really interesting!"
Jiang Xiaohou was still poking, completely ignoring how Cheqi Tianwang was tilting his head back and forth, already in so much pain he was about to go crazy.
Ahu firmly grasped Cheqi Tianwang's hand. "Brother, this time we owe you. Hold on, for the sake of the child."
Lu Chengwen walked over and grabbed her hand. "Alright, alright, stop playing. Uncle is off work now."
"I still want to poke! I also want to act in a movie!"
"Kids can't act in movies."
"But there are many kids acting in movies on TV…"
"You haven't learned how, so you can't."
"But…"
Lu Chengwen glared. "Kids can't say 'but' so much! Let's go, let's go!"
At this moment, Hua Xue'ning also returned. "Master."
Lu Chengwen said, "You're back just in time. Take her inside. Don't add to the mess here."
Lu Chengwen looked at the near-dead Cheqi Tianwang and sighed gloomily. "Sorry about that."
Honestly, Cheqi Tianwang… killing him wouldn't be a big deal. Lu Chengwen didn't take him seriously at all.
Especially after witnessing this guy's bizarre actions, he cared even less.
But getting tortured by his own kid like this was indeed a bit inhumane.
Yesterday, Lu Chengwen had given Qi Meishao a Little Rejuvenation Pill and gave one to each of the five brothers to heal their injuries. Now, only one pill was left.
Lu Chengwen turned his head and saw Jiang Xiaohou still glancing back repeatedly.
He held up the last Little Rejuvenation Pill. "This is my last one. I can let you have it. But you have to promise—leave Snow City and never return. If you ever oppose me again, you will die. Deal?"
Cheqi Tianwang looked at the pill, yearning for it but also looking skeptical, unable to believe it.
"No need to doubt. I'm just a soft-hearted fool. Everyone knows that. Besides… if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't go through all this trouble. Honestly, after what my kid put you through, it does feel a bit excessive. If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't bother saving you."
Cheqi Tianwang nodded.
Lu Chengwen stuffed the pill into his mouth and then gave Ahu and Along a glance. The two of them clamped onto him and started leading him out.
Lu Chengwen deliberately said loudly, "Brother, your acting skills are truly impressive. I'm investing in this film…"
Jiang Xiaohou broke free from Hua Xue'ning's grip and waved at Cheqi Tianwang. "Goodbye, Actor Uncle! When Little Monkey grows up, I'll act with you again…"
Cheqi Tianwang thought, You people are spoiling this child too much!
Acting? I just want to live a few more years!
Lu Chengwen whispered, "Send him away, send him away."
Then he deliberately spoke warmly and shook hands with Cheqi Tianwang. "Brother, I'll leave this to you. My little treasure at home really gives me headaches. Alright, let's chat another time!"
The group helped Cheqi Tianwang into the car.
Ahu was a bit displeased.
This guy… why does he get a Little Rejuvenation Pill?
What a waste!
Cheqi Tianwang sat in the car, looking at Lu Chengwen with a complicated expression. He started the engine and slowly drove off.
Lu Chengwen kept waving at the car, then turned back with everyone.
At this moment, on a distant hillside—
A Tianwang operative held binoculars. "Someone just left Lu Chengwen's residence."
Another person asked, "Who?"
"Not sure. He looks very weak, but Lu Chengwen and the others were very warm toward him. They even gave him instructions and mentioned some kind of treasure, saying it's troublesome."
"Should we report this to Young Master Huo?"
"Yeah, let's report it."
Huo Wendong got the call. "What? A person? A treasure? Very troublesome?"
"Yes," the Tianwang operative said. "Lu Chengwen and the others were very warm to him. Several people came out to send him off."
Huo Wendong pondered for a moment. "Keep an eye on him. See where he goes. Report to me at any time."
"Yes."
Cheqi Tianwang returned to his residence and started treating his wounds in his bedroom.
As he applied medicine, he cried.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
"Why does everyone hit me!?"
"Long Aotian, you messed up your own mind games and took it out on me? Beat me to death?"
"And those five bastards! They hit me yesterday, and again today!"
"Fubo and his gang are also bastards! You guys went after Lu Chengwen, why didn't you tell me? Damn it, I charged in like an idiot with a sword in my hand… then ten people beat me up!"
Then he suddenly thought of something. "Wait, isn't Jiang Xiaohou crazy?! She's Lu Chengwen's sister. He fed me poison and made me attack her brother, then arranged ten people from the Four Gates to beat me up!? Whose side is she on!?"
"She seemed a bit shorter, and her face was different… was it really her? Who else could have such terrifying eyes!? That woman is a lunatic! A maniac!"
"Damn it, Chu Bai, why did you have to provoke such a monster!?"
Fubo was crying miserably. "There's only one more day left before her deadline… Wuwuwu… And only one day left for Long Aotian's deadline too… Wuwuwu… You guys are so powerful, why don't you go deal with Lu Chengwen yourselves? Why make things hard for me!? Are you even human!?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Fubo Tianwang called out miserably, "Who is it!?"
"Friend."
Fubo Tianwang froze. "I have friends in Snow City!?"
