Chapter 428 How old are you?
[Stuck, only one update]

Because Andy Lau spoke in a hurry, Zhang Yan had no choice but to temporarily leave her sister and lover behind and go to meet him first.

However, Mr. Zhang is now too delicate to venture into dangerous places, so they arranged to meet at Chang'an Coffee Shop.

On his way to the coffee shop, he also called several prominent figures in the rock scene, asking them to help him find out who did it.

We arrived at the coffee shop.

Andy Lau had already reserved a booth, and to avoid any unnecessary trouble, he even wore sunglasses and a mask.

At his invitation, Zhang Yan sat down opposite him and, without any pleasantries, went straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, could you tell me how those people harassed you?"

Andy Lau said with a wry smile, "The main thing was that they harassed me with phone calls, followed me, and I even received a letter written in blood. The bodyguards I brought this time were also deliberately provoked by them and were almost beaten up by more than a dozen people."

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Compared to pointing a gun at your head, we in the mainland are actually quite polite."

Andy Lau could only smile wryly. He hadn't been held at gunpoint from the start either, but there was no need to argue with Zhang Yan about this.

At this point, Zhang Yan asked again, "Why didn't you call the police?"

Andy Lau immediately looked surprised: "Can calling the police solve this kind of problem?"

For ordinary people, calling the police might not solve the problem, but for Hong Kong celebrities before 97, calling the police would most likely resolve the issue.

However, Zhang Yan didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he asked, "Do you know who the other person is?"

"They didn't reveal their identities, but the leader seemed to be the owner of a music store who usually rents out instruments and occasionally helps people organize concerts."

Tsk~
Why did I suddenly see a mission screen?

And as it turned out, Zhang Yan's guess was correct. While he was having tea with Andy Lau, the news started to spread.

As expected, it was Zang Tianshuo who started it again.

Zhang Yan was too lazy to waste his breath on this kind of person, so he directly asked an intermediary to tell him to stop his supernatural powers and stop harassing Andy Lau.

Then he told Andy Lau that if things were still not peaceful when he got back to the hotel, he should contact him immediately.

After that, everything remained calm.

The next morning, just as Zhang Yan was waiting for Jiang Wen and Dong Ping to return in triumph, he suddenly received a call from Zang Tianshuo, who said he wanted to talk to President Zhang in person.

Zhang Yan found this amusing: "What, you want to have a go at me?"

"Absolutely not!"

Zang Tianshuo quickly denied it, then chuckled awkwardly, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say we shouldn't give Hong Kong people too much face? I just thought these Hong Kong celebrities were too arrogant, so I wanted to teach them a lesson and also find a way to make a living for my men..."

He certainly didn't dare to provoke Zhang Yan now, but having finally set his sights on such a lucrative target, he was unwilling to give up. That's why he thought of finding Zhang Yan to talk to, so that he wouldn't let his efforts go to waste.

Don't give me that.

Zhang Yan interrupted him bluntly, saying, "What I meant was that we can't give them preferential treatment! The Cultural Bureau wanted me to take the lead in setting up a rock music self-regulatory association to clean up the chaos in the industry, but I didn't agree. But do you think they'll take seriously the few targets I've nominated that need to be cracked down on?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zang Tianshuo's response—what a jerk, does he really think he's some kind of gangster?

…………

A private room in a restaurant.

Hearing the busy tone coming from the mobile phone, Zang Tianshuo's pig-kidney-shaped face seemed to swell even more, and he raised the mobile phone as if to smash it.

But he couldn't bear to part with it, so he tossed it to his underlings and swept the teacups and teapots off the table. Still feeling unsatisfied, he then flipped the table over.

The commotion quickly alerted the shop owner. A short while later, a waiter cautiously pushed open the door, saw the mess on the floor, and covered his mouth, saying, "Boss, what have you done...?" "Get out!"

Zang Tianshuo shouted angrily, which frightened the waiter so much that he turned and ran away.

But soon another handsome young man peeked in through the door. After seeing what was going on inside, the young man laughed and said, "Who is it? It's Brother Shuo! What's wrong? Got some tough nut to crack?"

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Zang Tianshuo's anger subsided somewhat, and he forced a smile, saying, "Xiaohang, what are you doing here?"

The young man opposite him was named Bai Xiaohang. In recent years, he had become famous in Beijing for his daring and fighting spirit. Zang Tianshuo knew him because of the incident last year when Ma San blinded Luo Qi.

At the time, Bai Xiaohang and two other gangsters were looking for ways to settle the matter privately. They eventually got involved with Zang Tianshuo. Although the matter didn't go through, the two sides were considered to have hit it off.

"Haha, if you can come, why can't I?"

Dressed in a sharp suit, Bai Xiaohang pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Zang Tianshuo, teasingly asking, "Brother Zang, what's going on? Did you get humiliated by that big star from Hong Kong?"

"how do you know?"

Zang Tianshuo subconsciously asked a question, then shook his head and said, "Hong Kong people are nothing in Beijing. Someone interfered and stopped this matter."

"Who is this person, so awesome?"

"Zhang Yan from Tianjin."

Bai Xiaohang felt the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Isn't it that music industry godfather? The one who trampled Wang Shuo underfoot?"

"it's him."

"Get him!"

Bai Xiaohang slapped his thigh and tempted, "As long as we bring him down, won't you become the godfather from now on?!"

"It's not as easy as you make it out to be."

Zang Tianshuo smiled wryly: "Besides, do you think he's easy to mess with? No matter how powerful your brother Bai is, when he goes out to collect debts, he still has to do it himself, right? This guy just made one phone call and had the police arrested and taken away."

"real or fake?"

Bai Xiaohang was somewhat skeptical: "Isn't he just someone who makes music and movies?"

"This can still be false."

Zang Tianshuo said confidently, "I know all those people. They're old hands in the rock scene. They don't owe Zhang Yan money, but rather money to one of his men."

Bai Xiaohang frowned for a long time upon hearing this, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Whoever it is, it won't work on me! He hasn't offended me yet, but if he does one day, I'll show him what it means to be 'willing to risk everything and dare to pull the emperor off his horse'!"

Zang Tianshuo originally wanted to mention the story of that young master's defeat in America, but after hearing what Bai Xiaohang said, he had a different thought in his mind.

So he changed his tune and said, "Of course you're not afraid, but I'm in this business after all. If I offend Boss Zhang, I'll be starving. For the sake of my brothers, I can only put up with it."

He was originally praising Zhang Yan's strength so that his cowardice wouldn't be so embarrassing.

But now they've changed their tune, saying that because they're in the same circle, they can't afford to offend Zhang Yan, so they have to tolerate it.

The purpose, of course, was to pit Bai Xiaohang against Zhang Yan—Bai Xiaohang was young and impetuous, and always concerned about his reputation, so he would most likely be too embarrassed to break his promise.

If a conflict were to break out, it would inevitably cause some trouble for Zhengyan.

The problem is, how do you get the two of them to face off...?
