Hello Mr. King

Chapter 526: Invitation to the Xibai Film Festival

“I’ll speak…” Li Dongfei had turned pale from the pain. His lips were trembling, and his breath was weak.

“Get him out of here, deal with him, and clean this place up.” Zhao Guibi’s gaze fell on the floor, which was constantly overflowing with blood. The pungent smell made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After leaving the room and moving to another place, she hired a specialist doctor to wait outside. Li Dongfei was given a simple treatment to stop the bleeding and stay awake.

As for whether the medication was scientific or healthy, that didn’t matter at all. Soon, Li Dongfei was carried over.

“Speak.” Zhao Guibi leaned back lazily. “Don’t delay the treatment of your legs.”

Li Dongfei felt as if his legs were under local anesthesia. His entire body seemed numb, but his brain was very clear. “Last April, my nephew was diagnosed with uremia. He needs a million yuan for medical fees…”

For a family like theirs, they would be overjoyed if they could save 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. A million yuan was definitely not enough to guarantee a radical cure, so how could they have the money to pay for it?

At that time, someone came to his brother. That person said he would give them five million yuan, but the condition was that he would kill a person through a traffic accident.

Both of them were honest people, and they didn’t dare to do such a ruthless thing. However, his brother saw that his only child was in so much pain, and the hospital urged him for money to keep his child’s life.

With his wife crying and begging for help from the doctor, his brother finally forced himself to agree. However, not long after he agreed, his brother went back on his word and didn’t dare to do such a thing.

When Li Dongfei was young and ignorant, he had lived in some kind of society. He knew very well that a person who could spend five million to buy a life was definitely not an ordinary person.

If his brother had not agreed, he would have advised him not to get involved with such a person. However, his brother had already agreed and knew who he was going to kill. There was no turning back.

It was either do or get killed.

Li Donglai did not understand this. On the day of the agreement, he chose to run away. After Li Donglai went to the bathroom, Li Dongfei answered the incessant phone calls for him. Only then did he know Li Donglai’s plan.

Li Dongfei knew that his brother had taken a leave of absence, so he went to deliver the goods on his behalf. However, Li Donglai didn’t know his brother was allergic to alcohol. After drinking a lot of alcohol, he caused a drunk-driving accident.

After Li Donglai found out, he immediately contacted the person who had given them the money. He was afraid that the alcohol would embolden his brother and lead to alcohol poisoning, so he brought his brother to the hospital. Before his brother was escorted to the police station, however, he switched with him.

Later, after Li Donglai’s trial, the other party contacted him again. When he went to deliver the goods, a few boxes full of cash came along with it.

“From the beginning to the end, I didn’t see the other party at all…” Li Donglai knew that the other party was very resourceful as soon as he received the money.

How could ordinary people like them afford to provoke him?

At first, he thought that the child’s serious illness was a sudden disaster, but now, he realized that this kind of money from an unknown source was an even bigger disaster.

Money stained with blood had to be paid back with blood.

“Where and when did you receive the money? What kind of cardboard box was the money in…” Zhao Guibi asked the key questions one by one.

When Li Dongfei had finished answering, she said to Zou Yannan, “Send him to the same hospital with a great fanfare.”

The room became quiet. Zhao Guibi sat under the table lamp with a pen in her hand. The tip of the pen rhythmically tapped the table gently.

It was a sleepless night for Zhao Guibi; she knew that she had to be quick. From the moment she touched Li Dongfei, the person behind him would definitely make a move.

…

Yun Xiangxiang slept soundly, feeling refreshed when she woke up in the morning. She came back from her morning exercise and passed by Xue Yu’s room. She found that Xue Yu’s door was open, but Xue Yu’s eyes were hazy. He hugged a pillow and leaned against the door to take a nap.

Yun Xiangxiang knew that Xue Yu was also in the same room as his male assistant, so she didn’t enter rashly.

However, Xue Yu was only wearing winter-style pajamas and the door was open. Not only did a reporter sneak in and take pictures of him, but the cold wind was blowing. What if he caught a cold?

Yun Xiangxiang knocked on the door.

Xue Yu slowly raised his head and squinted at Yun Xiangxiang. After a few seconds, he realized it was Yun Xiangxiang, and he immediately came to.

He first looked down at himself and realized that he was well-dressed. He let out a sigh of relief and walked over to open the door. He even stretched and yawned. “Junior sister, why did you come here so early?”

“Why are you standing there while taking a nap?” Yun Xiangxiang asked. “I was worried that you would catch a cold.”

“I. . .”

“I was the one who woke him up.” Before Xue Yu could speak, He Wei’s voice came from behind.

Yun Xiangxiang turned around. He Wei was also dressed in sportswear. There was a towel draped over his neck, and it looked like he had just returned from his morning exercise.

“I have nothing to do this morning. Can’t you be a kind person and let me sleep a little longer?” Xue Yu said as he leaned against the wall, looking drowsy.

He Wei held a bottle of mineral water in his hand. Just as Xue Yu finished speaking and was about to close his eyes, the cold water splashed toward his face.

Yun Xiangxiang covered her mouth in shock.

Xue Yu quivered and immediately woke up. His hair was still dripping on his forehead. He said to Yun Xiangxiang, “See that? This is his true face, the devil’s agent.”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

“Brother Wei, I’m going to change and go downstairs for breakfast.” Yun Xiangxiang retreated obediently.

Yun Xiangxiang had always known that He Wei was very strict with Xue Yu. And seeing how calm Xue Yu was after being splashed with cold water, she knew that he must already be used to it. This was the first time she felt He Wei’s majesty up close.

It was unknown whether He Wei was afraid of scaring Yun Xiangxiang, but he was patiently waiting for her in the restaurant. Yun Xiangxiang wanted to eat her favorite food, so she couldn’t avoid He Wei.

“I’ve helped you cancel some of the events for the brands you’re endorsing, but you must still attend some of them.” He Wei told Yun Xiangxiang about the following arrangements.

“On the 29th of this month, you must go to France to participate in the annual brand event organized by S.Q. They’ve been holding this event for more than a decade, and it’s very important.

“When the time comes, the spokesmen from other regions and other brands will also participate. The event will also invite famous directors and actors from France.”

Yun Xiangxiang nodded.

“In addition, on the 6th of February, you have to go to the Xibai Film Festival’s award ceremony,” He Wei said with some hesitation.

The spring festival was on the 4th of February, and the 5th would be the second day of the Lunar New Year. However, Yun Xiangxiang had to go to the film festival just the day after…

“The King’s Plan?” The movie had good results in foreign countries, having won many awards at the film festival in Shuicheng.
