How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 393 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (5)
Unfortunately, Zhai Ling recently caused a public opinion storm, and was notified of her contract termination just two days after joining the crew.

The production team has now found other actresses to fill in.

Therefore, Zhu Wen had not seen Zhai Ling for almost half a month.

Zhu Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought—

Although she couldn't directly reveal her identity to Zhai Ling, she could approach her without leaving a trace.

For example... finding Zhai Ling's company or residence to work as a cleaner?
Zhu Wen was amused and exasperated by the first thought that popped into his head.

Is she really going to have a grudge against the cleaning lady this time?

【Lord Zhu Wen, don't you possess the Mirage Pearl? Why not make good use of it?】

233 pops up at the right time to show its presence.

Zhu Wen nodded:

"I almost forgot, you reminded me."

233 was overjoyed:

[I'm glad I could help! I wonder what you plan to do with the Mirage Pearl? Since it can immerse one's consciousness in an illusion, why not become a hypnotist? Or maybe just start a live stream! I've heard live streams can be quite lucrative! You could call it 'Weaving Beautiful Dreams,' and then...]

"Then I was not far from ending up in jail."

Zhu Wen said calmly.

233 made a sound.

Zhu Wen reminded it:
"This world is not like the last world, where the strange resurgence has made it more lenient towards supernatural things. If I dared to do these things in this world, I would most likely get my account banned, or I might even be invited for tea."

How will we explain the origin of the Mirage Pearl then?

233 said a sheepish "I'm sorry".

Zhu Wen didn't seem to care:
"It's okay, it's still one possible approach."

Since the Mirage Pearl can't be used on others, it's best to use it on herself, for example...

"what!"

A short, sharp scream came from the thin door panel.

Immediately following was the sound of things being smashed to the ground.

Zhu Wen had a gut feeling that something was wrong, so he quickly got up to check.

Her room was the cheapest, right next to the shared bathroom in the dormitory.

So when Zhu Wen opened the door, he saw a fat, middle-aged man lying on the ground, wearing an old man's vest and shorts, with only a few strands of hair hanging down to his scalp, groaning and moaning.

A young girl was standing at the bathroom door, wearing a thin nightgown and a bath towel tightly wrapped around her body. However, because the bath towel was soaked, it did not provide any cover and instead clung tightly to her body.

This angered the man who had fallen to the ground, who, while groaning in pain, still couldn't resist lingering with a lewd look over the girl.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?"

The girl raised the plastic water ladle in her hand and angrily shouted at it with a cold face.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very lethal.

Because she was trembling all over and her eyes were red, she had probably just been crying.

The sleazy man suppressed his inner smugness, but instead cried out in aggrieved voice:

"Young lady, I wasn't looking at you. I just didn't know someone was in the bathroom!"

The girl was so anxious that she couldn't speak coherently:

"You clearly saw it! I noticed! You're simply..."

At this moment, Zhu Wen turned around and went back to his room.

The girl and the man saw it; one was desperate and helpless, the other secretly arrogant.

They all assumed that Zhu Wen left because he was too lazy to manage things.

After all, during the days they shared the apartment, Zhu Wen's impression on them was that he left early and returned late.

Unless it's late at night, you'll hardly ever run into her; she's a middle-aged woman with virtually no presence.

The girl clutched the towel tightly, her teeth clenching even more...

"Here, here you go."

Zhu Wen came out of the room again. This time, she was carrying a thin blanket that could wrap the girl from head to toe.

The girl stared blankly at Zhu Wen's actions, not reacting for a moment.

Zhu Wen thought she was terrified, so he kindly helped by wrapping the girl in a thin blanket.

Then, quite calmly, he added:
"Don't waste your breath talking to this kind of person."

The girl was wrapped tightly in a thin blanket, but she trembled even more violently!

She was feeling wronged and sad, like a child unwilling to accuse someone:
"So I should just pretend nothing happened and swallow my anger?"

Zhu Wen glanced at the girl and realized that she had misunderstood him:
"No, what I mean is, there's no point in talking nonsense when dealing with this kind of scumbag. Just beat him up."

After saying that, she turned around swiftly and kicked the man hard in the groin!
The movement was too fast; before the man could react, he felt a tearing pain in his groin!
"Ah...ahhh!"

Compared to the fake screams from before, this scream was real and painful, no different from the screams of a pig being slaughtered.

The girl was stunned.

Zhu Wen has no intention of stopping yet.

She felt that the thick coat was affecting her performance.

So he simply took it off and handed it to the girl:
"Hold it for me."

The girl stared blankly as she gripped the handle tightly.

She watched without blinking as Zhu Wen's thin, frail figure walked step by step toward the man who was crying out in pain.

In that instant, she felt as if that figure was so tall that it filled the empty space in her heart...

Zhu Wen rained down punches and kicks on the man, making him roll on the ground.

He could barely make a sound, and finally managed to shout it out by sheer willpower:
"Wife! Help! Wife!"

Zhu Wen paused in his actions.

Ok?
How can such a scumbag have a wife?

Which blind woman is driving up pork prices?
Oh right, I almost didn't recognize you.

This man is clearly the landlord of the basement, living with his wife in the largest suite.

Soon, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the next room, disheveled and screaming like a madwoman:

"Ahhh! Honey, what's wrong? Say something!"

The man was in so much pain he couldn't speak, but he managed to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth:

"Call the police...please call the police for me..."

The woman, however, ignored everything and, like an enraged cow, charged at Zhu Wen with a punch in her hand.
"You dare hit my man! I'm going to kill you!"

Zhu Wen casually blocked her attack and pushed her to the ground.

The woman couldn't get up and could only sit on the ground screaming and crying, shouting for help.

A neighbor came knocking on the door, asking what had happened and saying that they had called the police.

Finally, the doors to the other two rooms opened, and a young man and a couple walked out of one room.

All three of them were getting impatient.

"What are you doing? Can't a person get some rest? If you want to fight, go outside, okay?"

He adopted the attitude of an indifferent bystander.

The girl behind him, wrapped tightly in a thin blanket, couldn't help but bite her lower lip:

"So you were all here."

It seems he knows all three of them.

That makes sense. They're about the same age and both work on various film sets, so it's normal for them to know each other.

The three men looked away somewhat awkwardly, not daring to look at the girl.

Zhu Wen guessed the reason at a glance.

It's simply because they're afraid of trouble and don't want to get into trouble.

They were even less willing to have a conflict with the landlord over the girl.
