When Liu Zhongze hung up the phone, he noticed that Su Xi's eyes were sparkling, and she was looking at him with adoration.

"Brother Liu, can you really go to Hollywood? Domestic or international, please?"

Su Xi picked up her phone and started searching online for the latest information about Liu Zhongze. She didn't know what problems Liu Zhongze had encountered before, only that there was a legendary figure called the "Holy Maiden of the Fog City".

Liu Zhongze ignored the situation, thanked the receptionist, and went to his room to rest.

Unexpectedly, the girl directly asked for the room next door, clearly intending to pester him relentlessly.

Fortunately, after being harassed by Chen Fengqi, Liu Zhongze immediately hid in his room.

Seeing this, Su Xi had no choice but to give up and took out her phone to report the progress of her work to her sister Su He in real time.

To others, this might sound like Liu Zhongze trying to inflate his own value and put pressure on the cyber romance drama production team so that he could gain more benefits.

But Su Xi was simple-minded and told her sister Su He about it without thinking too much.

Su He wasn't as easily fooled as Su Xi. She saw Liu Zhongze's behavior and wanted to determine whether he was telling the truth or lying. It was actually quite simple; she just needed to verify it herself.

Silent all night.

Before six o'clock in the morning, Su Xi was awakened by a series of urgent ringing bells.

She groggily opened her eyes and saw her sister's name displayed on the screen.

"Feed..." Su Xi's voice was still a little groggy.

"Sis, I found out! This guy's a real character. You absolutely have to bring him to our film crew. Even if I have to take out a loan, I have to get him!"

"Oh well..."

A steady snore came through the phone receiver, and Su He, who hadn't slept all night, roared, "Su Xi, wake up!"

The girl snapped out of her daze, staring blankly at everything before her. Only when her sister's voice on the phone became clearer did she ask, "Sis, what happened?"

"Wake up! You have to bring Liu Zhongze to our production team. We can wait, or we can pay him a fortune, but you absolutely cannot let him get away, understand?"

"I heard you."

"Su Xi!" Su He shouted, seemingly aware of her sister's usual behavior. She angrily said, "If you let him get away, believe me, I'll tell Mom on you!"

"Huh?" Su Xi quickly sat up in bed, tilting her head to listen to the phone while walking to the hotel bathroom to wash up. She mumbled, "Don't worry... I'll go now... and wait outside his door."

Around 8 o'clock, Liu Zhongze opened the door, intending to sneak away, when he saw Su Xi squatting at the door, looking sleepy.

The girl's eyes darted around, as if she were staring at him, or perhaps she was lost in her own world.

Liu Zhongze waved his hand carefully, and only after noticing that the girl's eyes did not follow the movement did he realize that she was sleeping with her eyes open.

Quietly closing the door, Liu Zhongze tried to keep his movements as small as possible and not make any noise.

The soft closing of the door still caught the girl's attention. Her beautiful eyes looked around in confusion, searching for something. Even though Liu Zhongze had already started to run away, she didn't react.

After Liu Zhongze discovered that he couldn't enter the escape route, he could only walk back to the elevator dejectedly. By this time, the girl had recovered and walked slowly to his side, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that we would be so destined to meet."

Liu Zhongze admired the girl's carefree attitude, shook his head, and didn't bother with it. When the elevator arrived, the two of them took it downstairs together.

The two bought breakfast together and ate it by themselves.

When Liu Zhongze was planning to go to the film set, he saw a hat shop and bought two new hats. One was similar to the one he was wearing now, and the other was a men's hat. Then he threw away Su He's hat in front of Su Xi.

"Take this hat to your sister."

Su Xi glanced at Liu Zhongze, sensing something was off about him, and asked, "Brother Liu, why are you throwing my sister's hat around?"

"I'm afraid your sister will mind, so let's throw it away and buy her a new one."

The girl then took the hat from Liu Zhongze's hand, put it on her head, but did not leave, and followed him all the way to the film set.

When the two arrived at the film set, it was a little after nine in the morning. At that time, there were only a few scattered staff members walking around listlessly.

Liu Zhongze and Su Xi arrived at the film crew without any hindrance. After waiting for about half an hour, more people from the crew arrived.

During this time, Liu Zhongze sent several text messages to Director Zhuang, but did not receive a reply from him.

"It's you again?"

The staff member from yesterday escorted a stylishly dressed man over. He immediately recognized Liu Zhongze and said to the man next to him, "Brother Chen, that's him, the guy who tried to steal our script yesterday."

As the staff member spoke, he carefully pointed to Su Xi. Chen Zheyuan's eyes lit up when he saw the woman, and he clapped his hands.

"You're keeping a ghost in your house, don't you know that? Get the man out of here!"

Chen Zheyuan didn't need to know who the man was, nor did he need to care what the woman would do next, because these two were nobodys. If he offended them, he could just spend some money. What could they do to him?

Several burly men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, surrounded Liu Zhongze, and were about to attack him.

Liu Zhongze thought for a moment, then, realizing this wasn't abroad, he gently advised, "Isn't it a bit too arrogant to act so indiscriminately?"

The staff member sneered, "In a film crew with Brother Chen on board, Brother Chen is like God; no one is allowed to disobey Brother Chen's orders!"

Several bodyguards not only tried to touch Liu Zhongze, but the staff member also tried to pull Su Xi's body, seemingly trying to push her towards Chen Zheyuan.

Liu Zhongze's eyes calmed down. He suddenly realized that evil knows no borders. He raised his hand and assumed a fighting stance. The bodyguards stood still as if they had been frozen in place.

"Don't touch me, or I'll call the police!" Su Xi shouted.

The staff seemed not to hear her and tried to push her toward Chen Zheyuan, saying, "As long as you keep my brother Chen company, whether you want money or become an internet celebrity, it will be a piece of cake."

Chen Zheyuan walked over, playing the good cop, and said, "Miss, don't listen to his nonsense. I just like you and want to discuss some professional matters with you. I wonder if we could talk in private for a moment?"

The two seemed to disregard the film crew, and the busy staff around them also seemed oblivious to the commotion, as if they had lost all sense of their surroundings.

"Sure, but how about we talk in private?"

Chen Zheyuan heard a male voice that seemed to be looking for trouble and angrily retorted, "Since when did it become your place to speak, you security guards?"

But when he turned around, he saw the most unforgettable scene of his life: several bodyguards fell to the ground one after another like dominoes, while the staff member who was close to Su Xi was retching on the ground in pain after being punched in the stomach by Liu Zhongze.

Chen Zheyuan cried out in terror, "You...you stay away!"

Around 1:30 pm.

Director Zhuang, his lips and face pale, was panting heavily. He looked at the group of men with bruised and swollen faces, and a man and a woman hiding behind them. He didn't find it funny; he just felt a splitting headache.

Yesterday I suffered the greatest torment of my life, and today the second male lead beat up the male lead. Both incidents were caused by the same person.

"Director, you've come at the right time! Replace this person immediately!"

When Chen Zheyuan saw Director Zhuang arrive, he became much more assertive. However, he was so frightened by Liu Zhongze's slight cough that he backed away.

"Director, I can't work with this kind of thug. You need to think of something quickly."

After Zhuang Ziqiang whispered a few words in Chen Zheyuan's ear, Chen Zheyuan smiled and said, "According to the contract, you caused trouble for no reason and need to pay a penalty of 50 yuan. If you can't come up with it, I'll have the police take you away and then sue you in court, making you a deadbeat from now on!"

Looking at the meek Zhuang Ziqiang and the arrogant Chen Zheyuan, Liu Zhongze calmly said, "I didn't expect your crew to be such a den of snakes. I shouldn't have rushed to sign the contract. Acting with you guys has really tainted my acting career."

"You!" The staff member pointed at Liu Zhongze, but silently withdrew his gaze when he saw Liu Zhongze's eyes turn towards him.

"Let's see how long you, a nobody actor, can keep up this act. Get out of here right now, or you'll be getting a summons from the court within seven days!"

Liu Zhongze stared coldly at Chen Zheyuan, which intimidated the newly popular celebrity, causing him to shrink back even further.

Before Liu Zhongze could speak, Su Xi quickly interjected, "I can give you 50, but you must terminate your contract with Brother Liu properly."

Su Xi's attitude was very assertive. It seemed that she had finally waited for an opportunity to legitimately steal Liu Zhongze away.

Looking at the balance in Su Xi's hand, Zhuang Ziqiang dared not offend Chen Zheyuan or Liu Zhongze, so he could only tell them that Chen Yuyi had sold him to him like a piglet.

A dangerous glint flashed in Liu Zhongze's eyes, while Su Xi, standing beside him, felt a pang of sadness as she listened, her nose stinging and her eyes welling with tears as she comforted Liu Zhongze.

"Brother Liu...we can't stand this, sob sob sob..." The girl couldn't suppress her emotions and seemed to be easily moved.

Liu Zhongze was a little confused by the series of events. When he came to his senses, Su Xi was holding his hand and excitedly leading him toward the set of "Cyber ​​Romance".

"I...I've been kidnapped?"
