Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 994 - 983: Film Emperor

"Ji Guang, go to hell!" A man with a hideous expression appeared in the parking lot, holding a knife that reflected a cold light.

Qiao Wenxi gasped, standing still, afraid of getting involved.

But Ji Guang only let out a cold laugh, and suddenly, a man resembling a bodyguard appeared from behind the car, quickly subduing the knife-wielding man.

"Did you think that after so many years in the industry, I’d be without security?" Ji Guang kicked the man hard, "A little worm like you dares to cause me trouble?"

"Ji Guang, even if you escape this time, I won’t let you off next time. You harmed my sister, and I will make sure you pay with your life, you beastly thing masquerading as a human. I’ll expose your true face to the journalists." The man’s face was taut with rage, veins bulging, looking fierce but lacking a sound plan.

"I was wondering why you looked familiar, turns out you’re Zhang Lin’s brother!" Ji Guang suddenly realized.

Hearing this name, Qiao Wenxi was stunned. Zhang Lin? Wasn’t she the artist under Ji Guang some time ago? I heard she allegedly committed suicide. Could it have been more than just work pressure?

Rumor had it that Ji Guang not only exploited artists but also forced them into inhuman tasks. Judging by this, could Zhang Lin’s death be related to Ji Guang?

"If you have evidence, go to the police, tell the journalists, but be careful of my lawsuit for slander." Ji Guang locked eyes with the man, giving a mocking smile, "I remember you and that ungrateful Zhang Lin seemed to have a bedridden mother. What, do you want her to be left without a provider? Want her to know her only son is going to jail?"

Hearing these words, the man immediately froze, his face turning dark. The truth was, he was driven by desperation and alcohol-induced impulse.

He hadn’t planned to escape unharmed, but hearing these words, he couldn’t bear to abandon his mother.

"I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to make things difficult. Here’s five thousand yuan, consider it nutrition money for your mother. Now get lost." Ji Guang pulled out a wad of cash and tossed it over the man’s head, "This is the last time. If you come back again, don’t blame me for sending you to jail."

Qiao Wenxi instinctively realized this man could be useful, and once Ji Guang and his bodyguard left, he approached the man with a sympathetic expression and helped him pick up the money on the ground. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop." Qiao Wenxi looked at him apologetically, "I saw what happened just now. Are you Lin Lin’s brother?"

Hearing his sister’s name, the man abruptly lifted his head, "You knew my sister?"

His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred, startling Qiao Wenxi.

Seeing the knife at the man’s feet, Qiao Wenxi averted his gaze and steadied his nerves, "Yes, before Lin Lin left, I was one of the few people at the company she could talk to. I’m sorry, I didn’t expect Lin Lin to leave so suddenly, and I have no influence, so I couldn’t say anything."

"Do you know something?" the man asked excitedly.

"I’m not sure, since Lin Lin and I didn’t share the same manager. But I heard about that Ji Guang at the company, that he’s very powerful and often tortures the artists under him, forcing them to do inhuman things." Qiao Wenxi seemed increasingly reluctant to speak, "Lin Lin she..."

"Exactly." The man gritted his teeth, "Lin Lin called me before she committed suicide, saying she couldn’t hold on any longer and didn’t want to do those things. I told her at the time she was being unreasonable, that work is never easy. Now it seems..."

The man clutched his head in pain, "It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t criticized her, if only I had been more comforting."

"It’s not your fault, brother. Why don’t you tell me everything in detail, maybe I can help get justice for Lin Lin."

"Really?" The man looked up hopefully, then grew worried, "But didn’t you say Ji Guang is very powerful? What if you get caught up in it?"

"It’s fine, I’m not afraid. I’m just a minor artist, frequently forced to do things against my will in this industry. It doesn’t matter to me anymore. If I can get justice for Lin Lin before I leave, it would be best. Besides, Ji Guang’s arrogance isn’t new, we can find other witnesses." Qiao Wenxi spoke persuasively.

"You are truly a good person!" The man gripped Qiao Wenxi’s hand, "Let’s find a place to talk."

"It’s airing, it’s airing, my Little Emperor Jiang, my Young Master Yan Xin!" Just as Qiao Wenxi was making plans, the long-awaited "Emperor Jiang" finally aired during the Spring Festival season.

"The director is so mean, teasing us with less than a minute of trailer, driving us crazy waiting!"

"My Young Master Yan Xin! I really hope Ye Qiu didn’t spoil it."

"Based on the trailer, it looks pretty exciting."

"Come on, all TV dramas follow the same formula now. The trailers pretty much show all the highlights, and when it comes to the actual drama, it drags on. A minor subplot can stretch over ten episodes. Sometimes, the lead doesn’t even appear towards the end, while side characters just fool around."

"Well... even though most domestic dramas are like this, we should still trust Director Li Gao’s work. His films have never failed before."

"Tch, didn’t a big director from another studio lose to capital as well? I’ll just wait and see. If it’s no good, I won’t watch a single episode. No one is allowed to tarnish my Young Master Yan Xin, my Emperor Jiang!"

Many shared this sentiment, but the drama is a prime-time show on a top-rated satellite channel, with a huge cast, and based on a popular novel, so it broke several records on its premiere day.

Initially, everyone tuned in for the channel, the stars, and the original work, but they became captivated as they watched.

The beginning was filled with conflict, with the veteran actor playing the Old Emperor Jiang depicting his folly and weakness thoroughly. Not only him, but even the young actor playing Little Emperor Jiang impressed greatly, perfectly portraying the anxiety, worry, and fear of being sent as a hostage to a neighboring country.

Immediately, netizens took to Weibo, calling it the star of tomorrow’s performing arts scene, the future veteran of the entertainment industry.

However, the highlight was the second night after Little Emperor Jiang was sent to the enemy country, when Young Master Yan Xin in white appeared like an immortal descending into Little Emperor Jiang’s courtyard.

At that moment, viewers almost held their breath, afraid to scare away this banished immortal.
