2876 Movie Queen! (Sect Leader's immoral and unreasonable extra update)

Liu Zewei sat in the director's office, staring blankly at the screen.

Zheng Lao Ban was looking for me, but he was actually asking for Dahungya's contact information—what on earth is happening in Di Du? I asked Gao Shaojie, who was writing medical records in 912, and he said Zheng Lao Ban seemed to have gone to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital to save Taiwan.

Could it be that something went wrong with the patient during the rescue of Taiwan? Liu Zewei frowned, thinking, but he just couldn't connect Zheng Lao Ban with Dahungya.

What does Zheng Lao Ban want with Dahungya? Given Zheng Lao Ban's status and position, could he be trying to trip someone up? Liu Zewei immediately dismissed that idea.

Lately he has had some contact with Dahungya; he has to deal with all sorts of people, and being director is still quite tiring. But no matter how tiring, he is still the director—back then he only dared to dream of it, and now lacking it has become a fact.

Last year's annual meeting invited Zheng Lao Ban to perform surgery; Liu Zewei thought there was no problem—this was using the prestige from Zheng Lao Ban's Nobel Prize win in Stockholm to gild his own reputation.

This time, the society similar to the provincial interventional society's martial arts conference has already gained the hospital's approval; the dean and the provincial health department's leaders will come to attend and show support, and Liu Zewei feels that his life has reached this point, with nothing left to regret.

Secure the director's position, deepen cooperation and communication with Zheng Lao Ban, and take other steps as they come.

But today Zheng Lao Ban called, asking for Dahungya's contact information, which inevitably made Liu Zewei think more.

He restrained himself again and again, only then refraining from calling Dahungya to ask what was going on; instead he told Lao Gao, asking him to check it out and keep him updated at any time.

……

……

Dahungya, full of vigor, got into the car with a girl about seventeen or eighteen.

"Uncle Ya, what are we doing here?" the girl asked, looking bewildered.

"To expand territory and conquer the world!" Dahungya felt he had become a general; just thinking that in Di Du even Zheng Lao Ban was bewildered, waiting for him to come save the day, Dahungya was overjoyed.

"This is a heaven-sent opportunity; if I can't seize it, I might as well jump off a building."

"Uncle Ya... I'm a little scared." the little girl said timidly.

"Don't bullshit me, you can fool others but not me here." Dahungya said contemptuously, "Follow me, your Uncle Ya, and you'll eat well and live well. Don't go out there trying to scare people—how does that saying go? 'The righteous path of humanity is full of vicissitudes.'"

"Uncle Ya, I wouldn't dare." The girl's timid look vanished instantly, and she broke into a bright smile. This skill could be called face-changing, truly astonishing.

"You kid, you're wasting your potential; if a good chance comes later, I'm still willing to see you go into the entertainment industry. With your looks and acting skills, but let me tell you, today is the biggest, most important opportunity of your life—if you mess it up, you'll either follow me to live in a hovel or go back home to farm."

"If you want to latch onto a rich man and become a mistress, you also need the right channel for that. Besides, that's all a crooked path; today I, Uncle Ya, am pointing you toward the right way." Dahungya said, unusually serious.

"Uncle Ya, look what you're saying." the girl laughed, "What exactly is going on today?"

"First cry for me to see." Dahungya said, "Like when your mother died."

The girl placed both hands on her face, and after a few seconds lowered them; her eye sockets were already red, tears pattering down silently as she sobbed.

Her eyes overflowed with an expression of grief so deep it seemed to verge on despair; in an instant she wept with pear blossoms and rain, evoking pity. She shed few tears, didn't wail, yet that sorrow had turned from illusion to reality, moving the heart.

"All right." Dahungya glanced at her and smiled, "Take the medicine; later you'll bring out the same frantic act you had when I caught you pretending to be haunted."

"Uncle Ya, who are we deceiving?" the girl said without much doubt, picking up the medicine bottle Dahungya handed her and pouring out a dozen or so pills into her hand.

"Four pills, I'll kill you, you son of a bitch." Dahungya snapped, then gathered the excess pills and himself also took four.

"Uncle Ya, what is this?"

"It's an old medicine for treating tuberculosis." Dahungya said, "After taking it, your urine turns red."

"Uh... and the haunted act... I got it, I'll come on stage crying, right!" The girl was pretty quick-witted; she immediately realized what Dahungya intended to do.

"Yes, we'll play father and daughter, the haunted kind, to scare the hell out of those bastards." Dahungya said proudly, "Let me tell you, today Zheng Lao Ban called, took the initiative to call, and at that moment your Uncle Ya knew his luck was turning."

"Zheng Lao Ban, is he the Zheng Lao Ban that Sixth Aunt and the others talked about?" the girl asked.

"Exactly, he's a big tree; if you could cling to him…… ptooie ptooie ptooie, you damn well better not court death by clinging to Zheng Lao Ban."

The girl gave a bewitching smile; the atmosphere of utter despair just moments ago vanished, replaced by endless charm. Her expressions and subtle gestures were just right, her big eyes seeming to speak, full of anticipation and mirth.

"If you offend me, I won't say anything given your usefulness." Dahungya said coldly, "But if you offend Zheng Lao Ban, I can only kill you."

"Uncle Ya, look what you're saying."

"I'm not joking; tonight is a crucial moment that will decide the next forty years—if you screw up, don't blame me for being harsh." As he spoke, Dahungya's voice softened a bit, "Your Uncle Ya has been wandering the jianghu for decades; Zheng Lao Ban is benevolent and righteous—if we succeed today, we'll enjoy wealth and honor!"

"Is it just about scaring people? That simple?"

"The real tactics come later; Zheng Lao Ban will definitely have no problem. We're just going to expose that group's tricks, show off a big face in front of Zheng Lao Ban, and from now on we'll keep running to Di Du. I won't be favored by Zheng Lao Ban, but you will be."

"Later, if Zheng Lao Ban gets a chance, he'll casually toss you something that will last you a lifetime. Like when you used to run solo gigs—that wasn't the righteous path. Like now, following Uncle Ya, it's just enough to get by. As long as you earn Zheng Lao Ban's favor, even a little leak from his fingers will let you rise to fame and fortune—don't forget to help out your Uncle Ya."

The girl fell silent, sensing that Dahungya wasn't lying when he said those things.

We're all jianghu folk; we can still see through such petty tricks.

Precisely for this reason, she grew ever more curious: what kind of person is Zheng Lao Ban, and why does my formidable Uncle Ya, whom I see as mighty, scurry off to Di Du at the mere ring of a phone?

"Let me tell you one more thing: don't harbor designs on Zheng Lao Ban—he's a heavenly figure; if you entertain thoughts, you might get struck by lightning." Dahungya said solemnly.

"Got it, Uncle Ya. It's just about scaring people, right? I'll definitely satisfy you."
