60: Chapter 60 Counter-Terrorism Battlefield 60: Chapter 60 Counter-Terrorism Battlefield Around two o’clock in the morning, the boss of Huachen Film and Television Media, Zhang Chaonian, was wailing like a pig being slaughtered!
Even the bodyguards in the villa were beaten to a pulp, and the victim, Zhang Chaonian’s entire fat pig face, was almost punched out of shape.
If Lin Zifeng had not shown mercy, his own mother probably wouldn’t have recognized him the next day!
And the woman in the room was so scared that she shrunk at the head of the bed, naked and trembling like a frightened chick.
Without a doubt, this beauty must have been taken advantage of, otherwise, how could such a pretty woman ever fancy this fat pig?
After settling everything, Lin Zifeng did not linger.
As dawn was about to break, Lin Zifeng strode away and vanished without a trace inside the villa.
The very next morning, Zhang Chaonian, including that sleazy man, immediately called a press conference and honestly disclosed everything they had planned, but the journalists noticed that both men were tense.
Moreover, Huachen Film and Television Media boss Zhang Chaonian’s fat face was swollen like a pig’s head.
When pressed by the journalists for more details, he refused to spill the beans, only admitting that he orchestrated the incident at Hua Buqi’s signing event and hence called a press conference to assuage his conscience, but the journalists remained skeptical.
But since the man had confessed, what right did they have to doubt him?
And why bother antagonizing the entertainment tycoons when there was news to report?
Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
As for the bodyguard injuring people, the sleazy man had no choice but to admit that all of it was ordered by Zhang Chaonian and publicly apologized to the social media.
Shortly after the press conference concluded, both individuals were criminally detained by the police.
The most pleased of all were Hua Buqi and her agent, Meng Youjing.
Since the truth was out in the open, and it was someone’s cruel prank, all their negative news coverage was going to be completely retracted.
Meng Youjing was an old hand in the entertainment circle.
Early the next morning, she immediately responded to the incident with Lin Zifeng and Hua Buqi, demanding justice and also calling for Huachen Film and Television Media’s boss to compensate them with three million for emotional distress!
However, what attracted more attention than their public statement was the “Bronze Masked Man”.
While clarifying at the orthopedic hospital, the nurses and the female star who was taken advantage of by Zhang Chaonian mumbled vaguely about the traces of the Bronze Masked Man.
But they only let slip a few hints in their reports, and under the persistent questioning from the paparazzi, including the sleazy man, Zhang Chaonian, the bodyguards from Zhang’s household, the female star, and the nurses all indicated that this incident was related to a mysterious man with a bronze mask?
According to multiple accounts, the incident with Hua Buqi was largely aided behind the scenes by the mysterious Bronze Masked Man.
Consequently, the media swarmed Hua Buqi with questions about what relationship she had with the Bronze Masked Man.
Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng internally exclaimed in dismay, as he wished to keep a low profile but didn’t expect his newfound fame to skyrocket.
The little miss Hua Buqi had no idea such a person even existed!
Who in the world was he?
However, with the media’s hype, the Bronze Masked Man was highly lauded in reports, and some unscrupulous newspapers exaggerated his bright image for their own influence, heralding him as the Savior, an embodiment of justice, and a scourge upon the wicked—the man was almost as well-known as household names.
Furthermore, some ignorant young girls even began to see the Bronze Masked Man as the standard for their future spouses.
Even those living together, Nangong Bing, Hua Buqi, and Meng Youjing, idolized the Bronze Masked Man!
Such a man would be hard to match in this world.
Looking at the lazy figure of Lin Zifeng right in front of them, he was worlds apart from the Bronze Masked Man!
A bodyguard, this guy even had the audacity to ask for a salary,
And he demanded a hefty sum!
The little miss stomped her foot in frustration.
Back at home, Hua Buqi held up a poster of the Bronze Masked Man she bought during the day.
This was a concocted image by some unscrupulous publishers.
The man in the image looked noble and upright, with a dashing aura, and his face was covered by an ancient bronze mask—all based on the nurses’ imagination.
This man is so handsome!
I can’t believe he would actually help me, it’s truly uplifting.”
The little girl Hua Buqi was holding a poster, her cute, lovely eyes squinting into thin slits.
She never imagined that such a mysterious man would actually come out to help her, and in such a superhero-like image at that!
So cool, simply dashing.
If she could meet him in person, that would truly be a dream come true!
“Look at you, all smug.
Is he really that handsome?
Plus, he’s wearing a mask, for all we know he could have an ugly face.
He might be even less handsome than me.”
Lin Zifeng, puffing on a cigarette, sauntered up to Hua Buqi nonchalantly.
He first glanced at the little girl with her infatuated expression, then teasingly said, “Maybe the guy is just ugly and that’s why he wears a mask.
What’s there to be so happy about?”
“Mind your own business!
Beast, go get me a cup of coffee.”
Hua Buqi wrinkled her nose, her voice whiny as if she were giving orders to a servant.
“Huahua, I’m just your temporary bodyguard, not a servant.
You can handle that little task yourself.”
“Bodyguard, bodyguard.
Isn’t that just a nanny?
What’s the difference?
I’ll just pay you a bit more.” Hua Buqi continued to gaze excitedly at the poster.
“So how much do you plan on paying me?
Nanny rates are quite high in the market nowadays, especially for an all-around bodyguard like me.
They’re pretty rare.”
Why are you so obsessed with money?
Fine, I’ll ask Sister Meng to add an extra twenty thousand to your monthly payment.”
“Twenty… twenty thousand!”
Lin Zifeng’s expression was one of surprise.
This bodyguard gig was definitely worth it, way more substantial than a security guard’s measly monthly salary of just over three thousand.
Seeing Lin Zifeng stammering, the little girl gave him a disdainful glance, thinking how incredibly pretentious he was.
Compared to her idol, he was worlds apart, not even a shadow’s worth of resemblance.
“Not enough with twenty thousand?
Then make it thirty thousand.”
“Thirty… thirty thousand!”
Lin Zifeng gasped in amazement again.
It seemed this lord was burning money like it was paper!
Taking money too lightly!
Thirty thousand was enough to cover his security guard salary for a year!
Even with frugality, he wouldn’t see that much in savings.
“Still not enough?” Hua Buqi grew more convinced that this guy was not only outrageous but also incredibly greedy.
She had offered thirty thousand.
Was that still not satisfying?
How could it not be enough!
And hey, if you throw in a little extra, heh, that would be even better,” Lin Zifeng said, his face eager to please.
The lower you place yourself, the less others will respect you.
If you don’t respect yourself, how can anyone else respect you?
Hua Buqi shook her head inwardly; the difference from the male god in her heart wasn’t just a little bit!
“What are you still standing there for?
Go and get the coffee for the unbeatable young miss here, and later you can join me in playing some video games.”
Play… playing video games!
that’s a bit too difficult!”
It’s boring to play alone, so let’s play video games together.”
