Gui Chun Road Weiyang Qingba, actually a small bar, because the filming location today was in an old residential building near Gui Chun Road, someone suggested gathering here after filming in the afternoon.
As they had been filming for several consecutive days, everyone had gradually become familiar with each other. Moreover, the crew often came to this tasteful Qingba for meals. As the female lead, Liu Ruyan could not refuse, so she agreed to participate.
After all, Liu Ruyan knew that with Brother Xiao’s instructions, Master Fo’s subordinates were always protecting her in the shadows, so she had nothing to worry about.
However, not long after the gathering began, the short-haired young man in the plaid shirt who had delivered flowers to her at noon arrived again, also holding flowers to bid farewell, appearing very attentive.
Liu Ruyan felt a bit disgusted because his behavior was very frivolous, but she couldn’t be too harsh, so she just maintained a certain distance from him.
But after drinking a cup of water, she quickly felt dizzy. By the time she realized something was wrong, she was being helped upstairs by two eighteen-line female artists beside her.
Liu Ruyan struggled incessantly, but her body was weak and she couldn’t break free. So, she had to muster all her strength and shout.
The main hall of the Qingba was very lively and noisy, as almost all the crew members were there. Liu Ruyan was being helped upstairs by two female artists who pretended to be helping her. If one didn’t look closely from a close distance, it would be difficult to detect anything unusual.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan’s piercing scream instantly alerted the four bodyguards arranged by Master Fo to protect Liu Ruyan nearby.
“Miss Liu seems to be not quite right, hurry up and check on her!” The bodyguards acted quickly.
However, before they could rush over, seven or eight bodyguards, also wearing black suits and sunglasses, sprang out from all directions and blocked their way.
“Not good, quickly notify Master Fo!” The captain of the bodyguards reacted quickly. Knowing that they couldn’t contend with the other party, he contacted Master Fo immediately.
“Stop him quickly, don’t let him make a call!” The eight bodyguards on the opposite side roared and charged forward like wolves.
However, the call was still connected. Master Fo happened to be not far away. Upon receiving the call, he immediately gathered all his subordinates and rushed over, not forgetting to call Xiao Yunlong.
Although Liu Ruyan was just a female artist under his entertainment company, she was Xiao Yunlong’s woman, so Master Fo could not afford to not take it seriously. In fact, he was much more concerned and nervous about her than his own wife and children.
Master Fo knew very well that if anything happened to Miss Liu today, he might have to face severe consequences!
However, as soon as Master Fo hung up the phone and rushed into the Qingba with more than twenty subordinates, a long-haired young man blocked their way with about a dozen bodyguards.
“Fat Buddha, what are you doing bringing so many people? Did the owner of this Qingba offend you again?” the long-haired youth sneered.
This guy was Jun Feifan, a young direct descendant of the third generation of the Jun family, and a cousin of the previous Jun Bufan.
Fat Buddha’s gaze sharpened, and he instantly understood that this so-called crew gathering was likely a trap set by Jun Feifan and his sister Jun Zifang targeting Liu Ruyan.
“Jun Feifan, I’m not afraid to tell you that Liu Ruyan is Mr. Xiao’s woman, and Mr. Xiao is not to be trifled with, so you’d better get out of the way!” Master Fo roared.
From the bottom of his heart, Master Fo really didn’t want to have a direct conflict with these direct descendants of the Jun family’s third generation. After all, the Jun family, as one of the three major ancient aristocratic families in Suzhou, had immense power. Some of their elders even served as martial arts instructors in the Jiangdong Martial Alliance.
Although Fat Buddha was famous in the Suzhou underworld, compared to such an established aristocratic family like the Jun family, he was still considerably weaker.
Jun Feifan, however, looked disdainful and sneered, “You’re threatening me? Even though you, Fat Buddha, are the overlord of the Suzhou underworld, my Jun family is not afraid. If you have the guts, try it!”
“You brat who hasn’t even grown all his hair, even if you have the Jun family behind you, do you really think I’m afraid of you!” Fat Buddha coldly snorted, waved his big hand, and roared, “All of you, go in and charge straight in!”
After all, having been in the underworld for many years, Master Fo was well aware of the tactics of those so-called female artists. He knew that he couldn’t delay any longer, otherwise, Liu Ruyan inside would definitely be finished.
Although this action would lead to a direct confrontation with the Jun family, Master Fo couldn’t care less at this moment. After all, he had Mr. Xiao backing him.
Of course, Master Fo’s move was also quite risky. If Mr. Xiao couldn’t contend with such an ancient aristocratic family as the Jun family, then he would inevitably be doomed as well.
“Fat Buddha, you’re too bold. Aren’t you afraid…” Jun Feifan roared. He really couldn’t imagine that even though he had personally shown up, this Fat Buddha still dared to make a move.
However, before he could finish, a bodyguard rushed over and knocked him to the ground with a punch. The other dozen or so bodyguards were also quickly subdued.
“Quick, go in and save her!” Master Fo shouted anxiously.
At this moment, on the second floor of the Qingba, in a bedroom, Liu Ruyan had already fainted and was thrown onto the bed by two female artists.
“You two did a good job. This is for you!” Jun Zifang suddenly walked in and took out two stacks of red banknotes, throwing them over.
Also accompanying her was the short-haired young man in the plaid shirt who had been frequently sending flowers and showing attentiveness to Liu Ruyan earlier.
“How is it, cousin? Isn’t my plan good?” the shirt-clad youth grinned wickedly. He was Bai Junfeng, who had been strategizing with Jun Zifang in the tea room at noon.
“Not bad, worthy of being Suzhou’s handsome young man.”
Jun Zifang smiled, then turned to look at the unconscious Liu Ruyan on the bed, her expression instantly changing. She snorted, “This little bitch surnamed Liu not only stole my female lead role but also dared to let that dog surnamed Xiao humiliate me. Tonight, I will make her pay a hundredfold!”
Saying that, Jun Zifang took out her camera from her bag and then coldly ordered, “You two, immediately strip this little bitch’s clothes. Next, I’m going to take a set of stunning photos of her and then put them all online. I believe it will cause a sensation throughout Suzhou!”
The two eighteen-line female artists, having received the money, did not hesitate and walked towards Liu Ruyan.
Seeing this, Bai Junfeng quickly said, “Why don’t you, cousin, let me do this tiring work? I’m not afraid of hardship!”
Jun Zifang snorted playfully, “You really know how to take advantage. After the photos are taken, she’ll be yours. You can do whatever you want with her then.”
“Really?” Bai Junfeng’s eyes immediately showed a beast-like glint. Anyone who saw his expression would know what he wanted.
After confirming that Jun Zifang was not joking, Bai Junfeng rubbed his hands, walked to the bedside, and was about to make a move on Liu Ruyan.
However, at this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and then Master Fo rushed in with his bodyguards.
“Jun Zifang, you are truly audacious to dare to lay hands on Miss Liu!” Master Fo roared coldly.
After glancing at Liu Ruyan on the bed, Fat Buddha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had arrived in time.
Both Jun Zifang and Bai Junfeng were startled.
As a direct descendant of the Jun family, Jun Zifang quickly calmed down and roared, “Master Fo, what do you think you’re doing? I think you’re the one who’s audacious!”
Master Fo sneered, “Miss Zifang, wasn’t the lesson Mr. Xiao taught you last time enough? Do you want another one?”
“Shut up!” Jun Zifang became furious immediately. She waved her hand and said, “Listen to me, immediately tell your people to get out, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Sorry, Mr. Xiao gave instructions that I must look after Miss Liu, so today, no one can touch her, not even you!” Master Fo refused to back down.
“Fat Buddha, do you really dare to challenge my Jun family? I’m telling you, if you don’t get your people out now, you’ll be finished. With my Jun family’s influence, it’s as easy as flipping my hand to ban you!” Jun Zifang threatened.
Master Fo, however, chuckled and said, “I don’t know if the Jun family can finish me, but I know very well that if anything happens to Miss Liu today, Mr. Xiao will finish me first. I’m telling you, no one can touch a single hair of Miss Liu today.”
Bai Junfeng slowly walked forward, sneered, and said, “So it’s the great Fat Buddha Master. You’re really putting on quite a show. Do you know who I am?”
Hearing this, Master Fo turned his head and his expression slightly changed: “So it’s Young Master Bai.”
“Heh… I thought your eyes, Fat Buddha, were so high up that you couldn’t see insignificant people like us.”
Bai Junfeng said with a face full of mockery, and snorted, “Since you recognize me, why are you still standing there? Get out of here immediately with your people!”
Master Fo’s eyes narrowed. He naturally knew this Bai Junfeng, the eldest son of Bai Zhenwei, the Director General of the City Defense Department.
In fact, the reason why the Jun family’s influence and background in Suzhou were so powerful, besides the strong influence of several elders of the Jun family, was that many of the second-generation members of the family also had extraordinary backgrounds. For example, Bai Junfeng’s mother married Bai Zhenwei, and Bai Zhenwei, relying on the Jun family’s influence, climbed step by step from the Inspectorate to the position of Director General of the City Defense Department.
Such ancient aristocratic families often had deeply intertwined networks. In comparison, his status as the local emperor of the underworld was much weaker.
As the situation escalated, beads of sweat began to appear on Master Fo’s forehead. He was clearly starting to struggle.
“Fat Buddha, I’ll give you two minutes to consider. If you don’t get out, I’ll immediately call my father, and I guarantee that most of your businesses and clubs will be sealed. Try it if you don’t believe me!” Bai Junfeng threatened coldly.
Master Fo’s face turned pale. He never expected that tonight’s matter would not only involve the Jun family but also the Director General of the City Defense Department.
The bedroom suddenly became quiet, but the atmosphere was very oppressive. Fat Buddha was struggling with his thoughts.
Jun Zifang and Bai Junfeng looked at Master Fo with playful disdain. Under the dual pressure of the Jun family and the Bai family, they were not afraid that Master Fo would not compromise and back down.
Looking at Liu Ruyan, who was still unconscious on the bed, Fat Buddha gritted his teeth and was about to speak.
At that moment, a cold shout suddenly came from outside: “Hit it, call your so-called Director General of the City Defense Department father now!”
As the voice fell, Xiao Yunlong walked in with a grim face and a murderous aura.
