The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 382 One by one, scared to death

Unable to go to the gym and with no particularly private places nearby, Gu Lanxi, whose workout intensity wasn't up to par today, simply found a relatively empty room and called her bodyguard over for a sparring session.

These bodyguards were all retired special forces soldiers whom Lu Weidong had hired through connections. Each of them was highly skilled in combat, especially in various killing techniques, which were truly masterful.

Everyone was in a difficult position upon hearing her request.

Because Gu Lanxi is the boss, and she's a seemingly delicate girl, it wouldn't be good to hurt her if I hit her too hard, but it wouldn't be pleasant to be beaten by her since she's a trained fighter.

Fortunately, the captain was experienced and immediately took out nunchucks and taught her how to use them.

"I wonder if Miss Gu is skilled in this?"

When the couple had nothing to do, Lu Nanting liked to play musical instruments, while Gu Lanxi liked to play with weapons, including nunchucks.

Although she didn't wield the six-and-a-half stick as well as she was best at, she wasn't so bad as to hit herself.

Seeing that they were indeed in a difficult situation, Gu Lanxi didn't mind, borrowed the nunchucks, and went back to her room.

After playing for about half an hour, she got bored. Seeing that it was still early, Gu Lanxi, who had been working all day and whose mind was full of literary pursuits, wanted to try something more physical.

Just as she was feeling bored, Lu Tai's personal female bodyguard went out and returned with a slingshot.

"I heard from your wife that you like playing this. Since we can't go out for the next couple of days, I set up a human-shaped target for you in the hallway. Why don't you play with this for a while?"

Gu Lanxi took the slingshot and a small bag of steel balls, and went to the corridor. She saw that a human-shaped target had been set up at the end of the corridor, and the surrounding walls were covered with a thick protective pad.

There's no one else on this floor except them.

The corridor was over twenty meters long, with no windows, but the lights were on. It was perfect because she wasn't afraid of being secretly photographed and it also helped to burn off her excessive energy.

Where did this come from?

I found that slingshot at Liuhua Lake Park last time, and I had to mail it home because you can't take that thing on a plane.

“I borrowed it from a friend who works nearby.”

The bodyguard said a few words briefly, and Gu Lanxi looked at the target without daring to ask any more questions.

"There were people gathered downstairs today, but most of them were persuaded to leave. However, the hotel is open for business, and some people have stayed there, just on other floors."

The bodyguard briefed her on the day's events.

Booking an entire floor is already very expensive, so Gu Lanxi, being a shrew, naturally couldn't bear to book the whole hotel.

He nodded upon hearing this.

"Just keep an eye on the passageways, and close the doors and windows of any unoccupied rooms."

"Don't worry, it's on the 18th floor. Most people wouldn't dare climb out of the window."

"Caution is the boat."

After Gu Lanxi finished speaking, she began to aim.

Seeing that each of her steel balls was deeply embedded in the same hole, the bodyguards watching couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

"It's a real loss that such a promising talent wasn't trained to be a sniper."

Hearing such a compliment, Gu Lanxi smiled lightly, her tone quite pleasant: "Last time someone said that my not becoming a scientist was a loss to the mathematics community."

"Miss Gu is the legendary all-rounder, good at everything."

The group wasn't exactly known for their smooth talk, and they couldn't come up with many eloquent words. Gu Lanxi didn't press them; after they'd had their fill of playing, she took her slingshot and went back inside.

She loves playing this and plans to play it again tomorrow morning.

Once inside, Gu Lanxi checked the time and realized it was almost time to take a shower and go to bed, so she put down the slingshot and went into the bathroom.

Before I was about to take off my clothes, I saw that the small window was still open, so I immediately found a stool and prepared to stand on it to close it.

The window was behind the toilet and quite high. Because of the water tank, Gu Lanxi could only put the stool next to it and climb up the windowsill while holding onto it. She could only reach the window by turning sideways.

As it turned out, she had sharp eyes. As soon as she climbed onto the stool, she saw a round camera on the opposite rooftop, tilted slightly, pointing directly at the small window.

There was an advertising billboard on the roof, and some of the lights inside were probably broken, so the light was flickering on and off, making the glare from the camera lens quite noticeable.

What does a person do in the bathroom?

Aside from taking a shower, all I do is go to the toilet.

Her large suite was at the end of the corridor, and this window was the only window on this wall.

Gu Lanxi took a deep breath, her emotions churning, feeling nauseous, but she remained calm and composedly got off the stool.

Her angle was somewhat off; the person on the other end couldn't see her, but she could see the camera that the other side had set up.

It must be said, better safe than sorry.

Gu Lanxi remained expressionless. She put on gloves, took out some alcohol, and disinfected a few steel balls before returning to the restroom. Carefully climbing onto the stool, she turned slightly to the side, found the right angle, and pulled the slingshot to its maximum length.

"Oh!"

A professional-grade telephoto lens, costing at least several tens of thousands of dollars, shattered instantly upon impact.

Afraid of hitting someone, Gu Lanxi adjusted the angle, only managing to hit the camera lens, which was a pity.

If I could destroy the camera, I could get a good night's sleep tonight.

A painful scream came from the rooftop next door, more agonizing than if someone had been hacked to pieces. Gu Lanxi had already closed the window, gotten off the stool, and picked up the walkie-talkie to notify the bodyguards.

For safety reasons, there were two bodyguards on duty downstairs. Upon receiving the notification, they ran to the next building and quietly hid at the stairwell. A moment later, sure enough, someone hurriedly ran downstairs with a camera in their arms.

He pinned the person down, skillfully snatched the camera to check, and seeing that there was indeed a photo taken of that window, he twisted it and sent the person next door.

When Feng Lu learned that she had been secretly filmed while changing a faucet and testing hot water in the bathroom, she was terrified and exclaimed, "The entertainment industry is really dangerous!"
This made Gu Lanxi laugh.

"You can still laugh? What if you accidentally hit someone?"

"Yes, pay the money if you should, go to jail if you should, settle it privately if you can. I have no mercy for bad people."

After the bodyguards finished inspecting the house again, Gu Lanxi went inside to take a shower.

Two female bodyguards stayed behind to keep watch, while the other eight either guarded the stairwell or went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Only Feng Lu, upon returning to her room, frantically dialed Mei Xue's number.

The phone rang, and he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Sister Mei, come quick! Something terrible has happened!!"

At first, Mei Xue remained calm. Public opinion had been brought under control, and she was working on a new endorsement opportunity. Everything was looking good, and she was just about to have a late-night snack when she received this call.

"From dozens of meters away, the boss took a slingshot and smashed the paparazzi's camera lens to pieces!! The guy was terrified and is now crying next door, clinging to a police officer's leg, saying someone is trying to kill him! Hurry up! I'm afraid she'll rush out and fight someone if we're too late!"

Feng Lu was on tenterhooks all day, and even had a tense meeting during the day. Now she was crying so hard!
