Excessive ferocity due to caution

Entertainment company.

In the lake park, an elderly man and a young man sat side by side on the dry bank of the lake, fishing.

The fishing rods beside them twitched a few times, but they didn't choose to reel them in, letting the fish escape from the water.

Feng Nan stood behind them, staring intently at the lake.

"Does Young Master Qin now think that this actor named Zhao Yi is qualified to participate in the Infernal Trial?"

The white-haired old man, Yan She, said with a smile.

The lake in front of them reflected everything Zhao Yi experienced in the movie.

Qin Zheng sat cross-legged, took a sip of black tea, and said something completely irrelevant:

"For the past ten years or so, I've always considered myself a very intelligent, and dangerous enough person..."

Yan She smiled slightly:

"Not just you, but I'm afraid even the head of the Qin family... I think you are a very intelligent and dangerous person."

"Among the hundreds of candidates for the next head of the four major families, you are the only one who has already gained a lot of real power in the family even before being named a young master."

Qin Zheng lowered his head and remained silent, as if he were thinking about something.

Although many people call him Young Master Qin.

But in reality... he was not officially designated as a young master by the Qin family patriarch.

However, the head of the Qin family secretly granted him a great deal of real power within the family.

"This guy named Zhao Yi is really interesting..."

A smile gradually spread across Qin Zheng's face.

"I am very satisfied with him."

"So... I'll add some more chips."

A glint of light flashed in the white-haired old man's eyes as he asked:

"How much would you like to add?"

Qin Zheng gently rubbed his fingertips against the wine glass, his eyes, calm as still water, fixed on the tea leaves floating in the glass, and said:

"His spot in the Infernal Trial... will be provided by the Qin family."

The old man's heart stirred slightly.

He knew very well just how precious the spots for participating in the Infinite Trial were.

If we had to measure it in ghost money, the value of one spot would be approximately... 100 billion.

Even the most powerful families in the capital would feel the pinch at this price!

It was Qin Zheng who was involved. If it were any other young master, Yan She would have thought they were just joking.

"Young Master Qin, have you thought this through? This guy has a murder case on his hands..."

Qin Zheng certainly understood what the old man was saying.

After all, Zhao Yi's killing of Li Chenglong was actually orchestrated by him.

However, apart from him and Jiang Shuran, no one else knew about this.

Even Zhao Yi himself didn't know.

The most important thing about using someone else to do your dirty work is to do it cleanly.

In the matter of Li Chenglong, Qin Zheng has clearly absolved himself of all responsibility.

"The Qin family is not afraid of the Li family."

"The Li family won't really break ties with the Qin family because of Zhao Yi."

"but……"

At this point, a smile reappeared on Qin Zheng's face.

"Since things have already come to this point, we might as well make the show a little more elaborate. I don't want the Qin family to be exposed so early."

The old man watched the fishing rod being constantly pulled by the fish.

"Or rather... you don't want to be exposed so soon?"

Qin Zheng:

"The same meaning."

Yan She remained silent for a long time before agreeing.

"Entertainment companies have had far too many troubles in recent years; one more or one less won't make a difference."

Qin Zheng thanked him.

Yan She said no, it was just a transaction.

Qin Zheng cast his line and caught an inconspicuous little fish, which he carefully put into the fish trap. Then he reeled in his line and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, Qin Zheng suddenly turned around and smiled bitterly at the white-haired old man:

"By the way, Elder Yan, please don't mention to Zhao Yi that I requested the reshoot of the Twilight Manor movie."

"This guy... is far too dangerous."

Yan She didn't turn around; he stared at the equally young man in the lake, a smile playing on his lips.

"You, a high and mighty young master, would worry about poisonous insects in the mud?"

Qin Zheng shook his head and said:

"This world is full of too many dangers. If I were like Li Chenglong, I wouldn't be alive today."

"Anyway...please."

...

Twilight Manor.

The storm has largely subsided.

Zhao Yi had the seven corpses made into new plaster statues and placed them in the corner of the hall.

Looking at the artistic plaster statue, Zhao Yi nodded in satisfaction, carefully washed his hands, and then left the manor.

When he came out, the sunlight outside seemed to blush slightly.

The darkness has been greatly reduced.

Yang Dianfeng was already waiting outside the manor in his car.

The car was drenched by the torrential rain, while Yang Dianfeng ate instant noodles inside and frantically gave likes to a new female Douyin streamer.

It seems he hasn't learned his lesson.

Zhao Yi leaned against the car window, watching Yang Dianfeng like the new girl's post, when suddenly someone commented:

"Who is this poor guy with the 'Thai Chang wrapped around his waist' nickname?"

"Why go through all this trouble to like this post? It's better to just grind for the Grand Voyage. Are there really people these days who can't even afford to grind the Grand Voyage?"

"No way, really?"

"Brother, it's really embarrassing that you're clicking likes like crazy but still can't get on the gift leaderboard!"

Seeing this string of numbers attacking him, Yang Dianfeng was furious!

He retaliated forcefully with his keyboard:

"No way, really?"

"Are people still sending virtual gifts these days?"

"Not a single thought was put into it!"

"Likes are free, but I put in the effort to like so many, so my sincerity is there. Look, two-thirds of the likes in this live stream were from my own clicks!"

"You're talking to me about gifts? Can a gift compare to the sentiment behind a like?"

"vulgar!"

After seeing the message, the younger sister, who was dancing enthusiastically, also sweetly chimed in:

Yes, that's right!

"It must have been very hard work for Tae-chang to like this post!"

"Even if you don't have a gift, just liking this post is fine too!"

Seeing that the digital user remained silent, Yang Dianfeng took a gulp of pickled cabbage noodles, his lips, still sticky with pickled cabbage, curled up in a triumphant pose!

When it comes to keyboard skills... he's never been impressed by anyone!

"Socks!"

"Thanks to cd671543 for the 10-pull of Great Voyage!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Does the brother have a way to contact him? The crew has a private program after the broadcast!"

The sudden sound effect of a ten-hit combo from the Great Voyage on the screen slammed into Yang Dianfeng's heart as he ate his instant noodles.

He stared wide-eyed at the alphanumeric user who had previously called him a poor bastard, forgetting to swallow the noodles in his mouth.

At this moment, cd671543 posted a message:

"Host, I don't want to see the ID 'Thai Chang Chan Yao Shang' appear in the live stream again, you know what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Dianfeng immediately flew into a rage!

His fingers frantically typed a line of text on the virtual keyboard!

"Money makes you powerful? What nonsense!"

Just as he was about to send it, he found that his screen suddenly returned to the homepage.

[You have been kicked out of the live stream and blacklisted for 99999 hours by 'Da Lai Lai Meng Meng'.]

A pop-up message left Yang Dianfeng completely stunned in the driver's seat.

After a long pause, he finally cursed:

"Depend on!"

"What a slut, so materialistic!"

"I gave her 176632 likes! 176632! She didn't even say thank you, and just asked me to leave like that?"

Zhao Yi, standing by the car window, corrected:

"It's not 'please,' it's 'kick.'"

Provoked, Yang Dianfeng instinctively turned to Zhao Yi and shouted:

"What do you know?"

"What the hell? Mr. Zhao!"

"You...you're out?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, gently knocked on the car window twice, and walked towards the passenger seat.

"Open the door."

Yang Dianfeng hurriedly opened the car door for Zhao Yi, threw his unfinished instant noodles into a roadside trash can, then got into the car and turned on the air conditioning to completely eliminate the smell of the instant noodles.

"Mr. Zhao...you're amazing!"

As Yang Dianfeng started the car, he praised Zhao Yi.

"If you can handle this dungeon, you're sure to rise through the ranks quickly under Boss Feng!"
