Chapter 235
At that moment, ’Brother Ji’ still didn’t know Chenyang and Angie’s names.
He could only guess that they were from some rescue or medical team.
But he wasn’t worried about finding them.
The halo of stardom gave him both considerable influence and a massive fanbase!
Forget just finding their names and affiliations from among the dozens of rescue personnel. Even their most private details—family backgrounds, alma maters, personal preferences, hotel check-in records, medical conditions, and blood type—could be thoroughly investigated and exposed in a very short time!
And now, all he had to do was wait quietly and let the bullets fired by his fans fly for a while.
Before long, someone would deliver all the relevant information right into his hands.
While ’Brother Ji’ was quietly setting these things in motion, his agent and assistant drove up to the scene.
As soon as he got into the car, his assistant began to fuss over him. When she saw the blood and wounds on his leg, tears started streaming down her face.
Brother Ji patted the pretty assistant’s hand. "Don’t cry. It’s nothing, see?"
"Brother Ji, I told you not to go riding motorcycles with that woman, but you just wouldn’t listen. If it weren’t for your good fortune, today could have been..."
The assistant stopped short and slapped herself lightly on the mouth. "Oh, no, what am I saying? I take it back. You’re the best Brother Ji in the world. No matter what danger you face, you’ll always be fine."
"It’s not a big deal, but... the wound really hurts."
"We’ll go to the hospital right away. Let me blow on it for you first."
"Blow on what?"
"The wound, of course. What else would you want me to blow..."
Before she could finish, ’Brother Ji’ suddenly took her hand and placed it on his crotch.
His burning gaze was fixed on the swell of her chest visible below her collar.
Seeing this, the assistant’s pretty face flushed. "Sister Rose is right here. Stop messing around."
Hearing the name ’Sister Rose’, an unnatural expression flickered across ’Brother Ji’s’ face. He dropped his lecherous look and said apologetically, "Sister Rose, I’m sorry to have worried you."
"Oh, so you do see me after all? You’ve been in this car for ages and haven’t even glanced my way. I was starting to think our big star, Lin Jiji, had grown some wings and didn’t need me as his agent anymore."
Sister Rose was Lin Jiji’s agent. Rose was her professional moniker; her real name was Yan Xiaoyun. She held a position of immense power and influence in the entertainment industry, having launched the careers of many A-list celebrities. The top-tier resources she controlled were coveted by every star and actor in the business.
It was no exaggeration to say that if she took a liking to someone, even a complete nobody, she could turn them into a B-list star at the very least.
Lin Jiji was the most prominent example.
He was once just a minor supporting actor in the world of short web dramas. Then, by a chance encounter, he was discovered by Sister Rose. In just two short years, he became one of the hottest male stars of the moment.
Although he wasn’t quite top-tier and was still a step away from being A-list, as long as Sister Rose gave him a few more major resources, it was only a matter of time before he reached the next level.
However, as capable and well-resourced as Sister Rose was, she was also domineering and had a strong need for control.
Which commercials to accept, which television series to act in—all had to be approved by her. The actors had zero autonomy.
An actor had tried to resist her once, but the end result was being shelved and blacklisted!
This led to her reputation in the industry being polarized. She was a figure people both loved and hated!
Hearing her words, which were dripping with sarcasm, Lin Jiji didn’t dare to argue back, much less say anything unpleasant.
He gave an awkward, dry laugh. "Listen to you. You’re the one who made me. Forget growing one pair of wings—even if I grew a second, I would never dare to disrespect you."
Sister Rose shot him a cold glance. "Cut the insincere flattery. You’re injured now, so what are we going to do about the upcoming show?"
"It’s fine. A small injury like this will heal quickly. It won’t delay the shoot."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I’m sure! Even if I were crippled, I wouldn’t let down the amazing series you so carefully picked out for me!"
"Good, as long as you understand the effort I put in." Rose waved a hand dismissively and asked, "What about Xiaoyue?"
"After she was rescued, I think they took her to the hospital. But I don’t know which one."
"Find out. And as soon as you do, go to her."
"Go to her? We snuck out together. If I just go to the hospital to find her, won’t I be giving the paparazzi a chance to dig up some scandal about us?"
"The news that you two crashed on a motorcycle together is already out. If you want to shut the mouths of the paparazzi and the media, there are only two ways. Either you announce that you’re dating, or you pretend you’re just friends in private.
But either way, you have to go to the hospital to see her. You absolutely cannot leave people with the impression that you’re cold and heartless!"
