Chapter 128
Jiang Kaiyang never thought there would be such an unreasonable bully in today’s society!
Xi Ze always kept his word. At his order, a group of burley men inside the room immediately surrounded them. The big fists smashed into Jiang Kaiyang’s body, each one positioned cleverly. They didn’t hit any deadly positions but inflicted a lot of pain.
Jiang Kaiyang became dizzy after being hit by a dozen of these punches. He stumbled and saw a man wearing gla.s.ses pick up his phone that had fallen onto the ground. After carefully wiping it with his handkerchief, the man in gla.s.ses handed it to Xi Ze.
Xi Ze’s appearance was still the same as when Jiang Kaiyang saw him once at Ji and Ya’s high-end fashion show. He was indifferent and had an elegant temperament that Jiang Kaiyang couldn’t emit.
Xi Ze didn’t even look at him when he was being beaten up by these men. The man in gla.s.ses next to Xi Ze smiled mockingly and said, “Don’t hit the face. Pictures need to be taken and no evidence can be left, understood?”
The next five minutes were the longest five minutes Jiang Kaiyang had ever experienced.
Once a big fist mercilessly hit his abdomen, Jiang Kaiynag couldn’t help spitting out acidic liquid and his body lay on the bed.
Apart from his pale face and sweaty forehead, Jiang Kaiyang didn’t have any injuries and his appearance was still lifelike. Only Jiang Kaiyang knew that he was in so much pain that his bones were loosened. Apart from the leg that wasn’t broken, every other inch of his body seemed to be wounded.
Jiang Kaiyang trembled as he looked at the man holding his phone with confusion and fear.
Why was this elegant and n.o.ble man violating the law like a bully? This was a society filled with laws. How could he easily beat a person? This person would definitely be sanctioned by the laws. Definitely!
At the same time, Jiang Kaiyang really didn’t understand why Xi Ze came here. Why did Xi Ze come to the door with people to hit him, why did he take Jiang Kaiyang’s phone and why did he want to take photos…
Take photos?
Jiang Kaiyang’s heart tightened and the pain in his body was nothing as an ominous feeling arose from his heart. Xi Ze didn’t wait for him to think anymore as Xi Ze ordered indifferently, “That face is too ugly and the forehead is covered in sweat. Give him light makeup.”
Ding Bo laughed and arranged for someone to help Jiang Kaiynag with makeup.
No one knew where Ding Bo found the person but a few minutes later, Jiang Kaiyang’s pale face was covered in powder. His cheeks were rosy and he looked very healthy.
Xi Ze swept cold eyes over Jiang Kaiyang before saying casually, “Almost there.”
At this point, Ding Bo waved his hand to stop any further action.
What happened next made Jiang Kaiyang feel stunned.
Ding Bo suddenly took Jiang Kaiyang’s mobile phone and started to take photos of Jiang Kaiyang. First he shot the leg covered in plaster, then the hand, arm and face. Ding Bo suddenly stopped his movements.
At this time, Jiang Kaiyang still didn’t know that this man was the famous gold agent Ding Bo in the fashion industry. He only saw the other person push up his gla.s.ses and asked, “Mr. Jiang, can you smile more when looking at the camera?”
Ding Bo was smiling but it made Jiang Kaiyang shiver.
Xi Ze had already walked out of the room and seemed to have left. Ding Bo frowned and spoke in a reluctant tone, “If you cooperate well, I won’t have to do anything worse. My temper has been quite better in the past few years but that doesn’t mean I am half-hearted. I will fulfill any responsibilities, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Jiang Kaiyang’s fingers couldn’t help shaking.
“Hey, smile. I will take a few photos for you. Aren’t your fans worried about you? You shouldn’t let them worry. This is what you should do as an idol.”
A truly good star should be a role model for fans. Only a third-rate star would use his fans’ love and sympathy to make them worry and then achieve his goal.
In this situation, how could Jiang Kaiyang smile?
However, Ding Bo’s patience was obviously limited. Zhao Rui, Luo Ru and even Ming Yu had never seen Ding Bo’s current appearance. There was no sign at all of the gentle and refined man. His face was too gloomy.
Since Xi Ze became the chief designer of Ji and Ya, few people in the industry dared face Ding Bo.
Ding Bo could become a top agent in the fashion industry. He clearly wasn’t a pure person. It was impossible for him not to be contaminated by anything. But in recent years, they had already reached the top and no one was silly enough to fight them or provoke them anger.
Jiang Kaiyang really hit the muzzle of the gun this time.
Ding Bo wasn’t particularly upset. The truly angry one was Xi Ze. To be honest, Ding Bo’s words were good for Jiang Kaiyang. It was better to quickly take the photos now. If Xi Ze came back, Jiang Kaiyang would probably face something much worse.
Jiang Kaiyang didn’t have any good luck. A few minutes pa.s.sed and Xi Ze pushed open the door to enter.
His gaze swept coldly over the shivering Jiang Kaiyang and he asked Ding Bo, “Did you shoot it well?”
Ding Bo helplessly raised a hand. “His expression is so bad that I can’t shoot.”
Xi Ze raised an eyebrow at the words and turned to the trembling Jiang Kaiyang. He asked in a surprised tone, “Do you want to die?”
Jiang Kaiyang’s expression worsened. He had a feeling that Xi Ze was completely serious with this question.
At the same time, Jiang Kaiyang was constantly comforting himself. This wasn’t possible. It was impossible. This was a lawful society; this person couldn’t do anything wicked. It was impossible, impossible. It couldn’t be…
It was wrong! He had shouted really loudly while being beaten just now. Why didn’t any doctor or nurse come in?
Jiang Kaiyang’s suddenly felt like ice.
Ding Bo knew that Jiang Kaiyang’s road was certainly not good and showed a rare trace of compa.s.sion. In any case, a nurse took a photo of him playing with his phone. Using that photo would be good.”
Xi Ze made a noncommittal sound at this. Once Jiang Kaiyang was feeling a little relieved, Xi Ze suddenly took the phone from Ding Bo’s hand and walked to the hospital bed. He looked down at Jiang Kaiyang on the bed from a top-down angle. He calmly said, “I heard that your acting is good. Show me your acting and maybe I will think about only blocking you for a few years.”
[Blocking you for a few years.]
These words shocked Jiang Kaiyang. Finally, he couldn’t no longer resist the fear in his heart. He jerked and rushed towards Xi Ze standing in front of the bed. The latter immediately stepped back, allowing Jiang Kaiyang to fall to the ground.
Jiang Kaiyang begged in a trembling voice, “Mr. Xi, how did I offend you? Can you tell me? I beg you, I really didn’t do it intentionally! I didn’t do anything to you. How could I be silly enough to offend you? You must’ve misunderstood. There is a villain behind it who made you misunderstand…”
“How dirty.”
Xi Ze’s simple and clear words made Jiang Kaiyang feel stunned.
The next actions were no longer controlled by Jiang Kaiyang. Whether it was due to the verbal threats or the threat of the men in the room, he had to tremble and face the camera with a brilliant smile.
Jiang Kaiyang’s acting ability was perfectly displayed in these 10 minutes.
Ding Bo even ridiculed happily, “Your acting skills are quite good. You will be promising after the five year ban period.”
This sentence echoed in the quiet room for a long time. Jiang Kaiyang stood still as Xi Ze, Ding Bo and the big men left the room. Once the door shut, Jiang Kaiyang finally couldn’t help crying loudly.
His body was in too much pain but his spirit had been tormented to the point where it almost collapsed.
Jiang Kaiyang cried for a few minutes before enduring the pain and shouting for his men to come in. He shouted for a full five minutes and they ignored him. Then he pressed the emergency bell at his bedside. Once again, the red light flashed for five minutes but no doctor or nurse entered the room.
In the end, Jiang Kaiyang dragged his broken leg and moved to the entrance of the room. He finally stood up on one leg, opened the door and saw two strong men standing in front of his door. At the sight of him, the two men’s eyes filled with violence. Jiang Kaiyang was frightened and fell back to the ground. His leg seemed to hurt even more.
His phone was taken away.
No matter how much he shouted, no one else came.
Even if he wanted to escape, he was locked up here and couldn’t struggle.
It was as he said on his Weibo. He might be ‘awake’ but this state was no different from being ‘unconscious.’
In the darkness of silence, Jiang Kaiyang sat on the ground like a person who lost his soul. He couldn’t understand how just 20 minutes ago, he had been looking at his strategy proiudly. He watched his fans jumped forward for him and forced the crew not to subst.i.tute him for another actor, as well as demanding answers from Ming Yu.
Now…everything changed?
No, it was more like it was screwed up.
30 minutes later, in the single room on the other side of the hallway, a handsome young man slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
