Luo Yuxin was beaten black and blue, his body covered in footprints, knees scraped raw. Seeing Cheng Zidong, he ran over like a dog with its tail between its legs, scrambling and begging, âBrother Dong! Brother Dong, I beg you, please give me two more days, just two more days, Iâll definitely get the money!â
âTwo more days?â
Cheng Zidong grabbed his hair, a mocking smile on his lips, âWhere are you gonna get the money? Sell blood or sell people? Neitherâs worth that, right?â
âHahaha~â
The group of lackeys around burst into laughter.
Luo Yuxinâs mouth was bleeding, âNo, no, no, I can get it, I will get it!â
Heâd ask his sister for a bit more; she seemed to have taken another commercial recently, surely he could get more from her!
âLuo Yuxin, youâve got some nerve, running from my debt. What? You think going to the United States means I canât find you? Havenât you heard of my name, Brother Dong? Has anyone ever gotten away from their debt with me?â With that, Cheng Zidong kicked him away, âGet lost, youâre filthy.â
Luo Yuxin let out a wail, a lackey next to him handed Cheng Zidong a cigarette and a lighter. The white smoke curled between his fingers, as Cheng Zidong flicked the ash, eyeing Luo Yuxin up and down, as if trying to squeeze some remaining value from him.
Really donât get it, this punkâs like a dog, neither looks nor skill, where does he get tens of thousands for gambling every now and then?
âLuo Yuxin, if this were before, running from a debt would cost you a leg, but now we live in a civilized society. Iâm not a brute. Just honestly tell me whatâs valuable around you to settle it, and maybe Iâll give you two extra days.â
âOtherwiseâ¦â
He signaled to a lackey with his eyes.
The dirty and disheveled Luo Yuxin saw a shimmering knife coming toward him, almost scaring the piss out of him.
Cheng Zidong said, âItinerant World rules, debts must be paid, no money, lose a hand.â
âNo, no, no! Please, Brother Dong! Donâtâ¦â
Luo Yuxin backed away in terror, quickly racking his brain for anything of value he possessed.
Besides a celebrity sister, he had nothing. Unfortunately, Brother Dong was gay and not into women, so no matter how pretty his sister was, it wouldnât help!
As the knife-wielding lackey approached Luo Yuxin, another lackey beside him excitedly showed Cheng Zidong an iPad, âBrother Dong, look! The latest entertainment news says Ye Xian won the Golden Cauldron Award at the tenth edition, becoming the youngest TV Emperor in drama history!â
âWhat?!â
Cheng Zidong almost burned his hand with the cigarette in excitement, grabbing the iPad. Once he saw the stunning young man, shining with brilliance, his face shifted from debt collecting thug to a lovestruck boy, grinning widely, âTruly the boy I fancy, just excellent! But⦠the bodyguards around him are just too annoying.â
Ever since that encounter on the racetrack, heâd been investigating his background, finding out he was a star, and since then heâs only gotten hotter, beyond imagining. The security measures around him also grew stricter; those bodyguards he hired seemed incredibly skilled, his minions didnât even get a chance to approach him, let alone see him!
Cheng Zidong could only follow his news on the tabloids daily, the more he read, the itchier and more unwilling he feltâ¦
It was the first time heâd been so interested in a boy, yet couldnât even touch a hair on him, driving him crazy! If a stunning boy like Ye Xian could be his, or even if she smiled at him a few times, it would be bliss like an Immortal!
Cheng Zidong became more fascinated with the news, watching the short video five or six times.
The lackeys beside him snickered, everyone knew ever since Brother Dong met Ye Xian on the F1 track, he couldnât forget him, like a tough guy learning to chase stars like a teenage girl! Whoâd believe that?
But Brother Dong definitely had good taste, Ye Xian was now the hottest rising star in the Fish Circle, from luxury brands to street corners, all were filled with his dramas and billboards, practically taking over half the sky.
Not far away, a terrified Luo Yuxin heard Cheng Zidong mumbling Ye Xianâs name, suddenly a light came into his eyes!
âYe Xian? Ye Xian! Brother Dong, do you want to meet him? I can help you set it up!â
âWhat?â
Cheng Zidong frowned, looking down in disbelief, âThatâs bullshit! Heâs a big star, what are you? You can arrange that? Taking me for a fool?â
The lackeys also thought Luo Yuxin had been beaten into delusion, spouting nonsense.
âNo, no!â
Luo Yuxin crawled back over in humiliation, âYou mentioned Ye Xian just now, then I remembered, heâs my sisterâs colleague, theyâve acted in the same drama together!â
âYour sister?â
âYes, Brother Dong, you probably donât know who my sister is, right? Iâm a nobody, but my sister is the famous star Luo Yuwei!â
âLuo Yuwei?â Cheng Zidong looked doubtfully at his lackeys, âWho? You guys know her?â
âDonât know.â
The lackeys all shook their heads, none of them were the type to watch the idol dramas girls liked.
Luo Yuxin: âBrother Dong, you like Ye Xian, youâve definitely watched his shows, right?â
âOf course, Iâve watched âBusiness Worldâ and âConquest of the Worldâ so much theyâre worn out! Even forced myself to watch âEveryone Has Superpowerâ twice!â
âExactly! My sister was the female lead, Xia Qingshao, in âConquest of the Worldâ! Real name Luo Yuwei, if you donât believe me, you can search for her photo!â
âBrother Dong, heâs talking nonsense, how could a nobody thug like him have a celebrity sister, especially the lead in such a hit drama!â
A lackey was about to hit Luo Yuxin but was stopped by Cheng Zidong, âWait a minute!â
He typed Luo Yuweiâs name into his phone, and seeing the photo, he thought it looked vaguely familiar.
Looking closely, she was indeed the female lead in âConquest of the Worldâ. Only when watching the drama, heâd been focused on Ye Xian, so he hadnât paid much attention to her. Now comparing them, Luo Yuxin and this Luo Yuwei really did have some resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes, though the aura was significantly less.
One named Luo Yuwei, the other Luo Yuxin, could they really be siblings?
If so, then thereâs a reason heâs had tens of thousands for gambling so frequently, he got it from asking his sister.
Never thought this mutt had a respectable sister.
Cheng Zidong set the iPad down, gently slapping him on the head, then suddenly grabbing his collar, scaring Luo Yuxin like a startled bird. âLuo Yuxin, you know the consequence of lying to me, donât you? Itâs not just losing a hand.â
