Xi Gu wonders how much money he has left after selling his house, paying off his debts, and how much he can get from the movie's box office bonuses.

Add up enough for him to come up with a check for $50 million, Xi Gu's brain theater is constantly playing out, with a calm batch on the face.

Ling Xie looked at the room number, and then looked at the person at the elevator.

Xi Gu , Omega, gender is confirmed.

That's okay.

Ling Xie, who had been under the shadow of the brat's AA love for a long time, breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Xi Gu was able to bring back an Alpha who already had AA tendencies to the right path, which he didn't expect.

Ling Xie was relieved, but her eyes grew colder and colder as she looked at Xi Gu.

Xi Gu's heart lifted up, very nervous, why Jing Rong brother's eyes so scary?

Does he think I'm some kind of vixen who seduces Jing Rong?

Oh, I am.

Ling Xie walked away with his constantly fussing little brother, passing by Xi Gu who was having a brain storm.

Ling Xie put him in the car, told Zhou to drive, and sent a message to Yu Liu saying he had found him and apologizing.

For the sake of personal matters of the family, the public.

The assistant director and others have also seen this message, Ling Xie such a rather educated behavior, really can not be disliked.

It is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, but Jia Xie has been around for more than ten generations.

If they were all heirs like Ling Xie, they would deserve to reign on the rich list.

The back of the car.

"Had a good time last night?"

"Accidental flight mode." The answer was not what was asked.

"What's your relationship with him?"

"Friends ......" bar.

"A friend who can spend the night?"

Jing Rong just took a bottle of water from the small refrigerator next to him and almost spit it out before he could take a few sips: "Cough cough cough."

How to answer this, if he said that he still plans to have a complicated relationship with Xi Gu as a friend, Ling Xie will not kill him.

But Ling Xie didn't dwell on the issue, patting her brother on the back with disgust before revealing the purpose of her visit today, to take Jing Rong to the sanatorium.

Jing Rong suddenly remembered Ling Xie said before, grandfather there is a scene, Jing Rong face stunned: "Brother, is not ......"

Ling Xie did not answer positively, rubbed the little brother's head, look Jing Rong under the eyes of the black and blue: "a face was drained look, rest will, arrived to call you."

Jing Rong : "......" has been offended.

Ling Xie also pulled out a fluffy bear doll from a locker somewhere and stuffed it into Jing Rong's arms, letting him lean on it as a cushion.

Prior to this, Ling Xie's cars had never had anything to do with softness and cuteness.

Jing Rong buried his face in the soft molten doll, how old do you think I am?

Master Xie's ward is not accessible except to family members and doctors, but Jicheng Xie, the second youngest of the Jia Xie bloodline, is allowed to enter.

After a series of check-ins, Jicheng Xie crept to the door of the ward and creaked - and opened the door.

In the monitoring room, the two brothers who had been waiting for a long time saw Jicheng Xie enter the room, Ling Xie stood up sharply, Jing Rong looked at Ling Xie's tense face, and also stared at the monitor together.

Despite what Ling Xie said, Jicheng Xie's chance was gone.

But this time, in addition to getting Jicheng Xie on the spot evidence of the crime, and what is not the big brother gave this last possibility.

At their side were several police officers. Since Master Xie himself is a valuable person and has been involved in many major economic events, when Ling Xie made a request in this regard, the relevant personnel were arranged.

Master Xie, already in his nineties, crossed over to Zhanhong Xie when Ling Xie became an adult and directly appointed Ling Xie as Shi Xie's first executive officer.

Ling Xie had not yet graduated from high school, and no major plutocrat could have made such a rash decision. This is a very bold old man, whose decision was opposed by everyone around him, but he always stood behind Ling Xie and helped Ling Xie to solve the problems of many directors who were trying to undermine Ling Xie because of his youth.

The old man is also helpless, he is already old, Zhanhong Xie is not this piece of material, Jicheng Xie long ago was brought into the ditch by the Ji family. Jia Xie Before he leaves, Ling Xie needs to get up as fast as possible.

He knows better than anyone else how much Ling Xie has taken on at such a young age.

The room was very quiet, as if the only sound was Jicheng Xie's footsteps.

The old man was lying on a hospital bed, and the cardiac monitor showed the fluctuating graphs of the old man's indices.

The old man still had saline on his hands.

Jicheng Xie was a little nervous, he went to the door and looked around a bit before reapproaching the bed.

Jicheng Xie is a little excited and a little pained.

The interplay of two emotions made him tremble slightly, take out the syringe he had prepared, extract the liquid and hold the infusion tube.

Looking at the sleeping old man in a somewhat morbid manner, "Don't blame me, you made me do it! In your eyes, there is only Ling Xie, not me, your grandson!"

Jicheng Xie was indeed driven to the point of no return, that he was once expected by the Ji family, has become a complete murderer in the eyes of the Ji family attempted murder, he can feel a pair of pushers behind the scenes, but can not find that person.

And the Omega he found called Ying Qi, actually said he was no match for Jing Rong a hair, a powerless Omega also dare to shout with him, he will make him pay the price.

As long as the old man disappears, he can falsely pass the holy decree to oust Ling Xie from power completely.

Jicheng Xie has gone berserk and has started to be reckless.

He knew there was one person who could definitely help him eliminate all the hidden problems and evidence.

He took the syringe and was about to punch it in when he did.

Boom, the door is slammed open!

A group of police officers barged in and Jicheng Xie was immediately taken under control as he struggled frantically.

Ling Xie face is full of cold hard, disappointment is for people who still have feelings, but this person does not deserve.

He raised his hand and slapped Jicheng Xie: "Bastard!"

Looking at Master Xie, who had woken up long ago and was quietly watching the scene, Ling Xie told the police to take Jicheng Xie away and not to disturb his recuperation, and this time Jicheng Xie would never be able to get out of jail again.

Ling Xie asked Jing Rong to stay here with the old man for a while while he went out to settle the matter of Jicheng Xie.

Jing Rong is a little rushed, the original owner to Jia Xie, the old man's health is not too good, living in seclusion, this is the first time so face to face.

The old man's eyes were gray, cloudy with the wisdom of seeing through the heart.

The old man: " Ling Xiao is soft-hearted and has not been able to move, as early as twenty years ago, he should have done it."

Jing Rong : "Are you talking about the kidnapping of the elder brother?"

Old man: "He even told you that? It seems to be true that he trusts you."

"I am old, but my heart is not blind." The old man gasped, " Hong Zhan can not rely on, Jicheng Xie harboring evil intentions. Ling Xiao is very affectionate, but he has been bruised. He was forced to grow up by me, and Ling Xiao probably hates me."

"Big brother won't." Ling Xie really cares about the old man.

"He is not going to."

But I'm sorry for him.

More than my grandfather, I am like a teaching whip, urging him to grow up fast.

" Ling Xiao hasn't been happy since he was a kid, but this time, he's happy ...... talking about you."

Jing Rong's mood shook a bit, and just then, the old man asked Jing Rong to bend down and said a series of numbers in Jing Rong's ear.

"This is the password of my deposit in RS bank, there is a sum of money not smaller than Shi Xie's assets, in case Shi Xie has any crisis, it can be used to save it. This is the second password, the first password is in Ling Xiao's hand, and only if you use both passwords together can you open the password box." All these years, the person who delivered the second password has been waiting.

Jing Rong looked at the old man with shock. What the old man said was not just a code, but trust and a kind of trust that needs no words.

The old man laughed, like a broken gong: "Don't you want to give me a shout? The old man has been waiting for more than ten years."

Jing Rong's heart is slightly moist, even though he didn't say much.

He finally knew why, in the original, Jicheng Xie would be easily annexed by Wu after defeating Shi Xie, because he had killed the only straw that saved his life with his own hands.

The old man could not leave his possessions to the wrong-minded, preferring to let them sink into the ground with him.

"Grandpa."

"Well..."

Brothers support each other and never forget each other.

Ling Xiao, finally, is not alone anymore.

Old man, can only accompany you to here.

Jing Rong walked out into the hallway, a cold blue hue.

Without Jicheng Xie, he might have been taken away by law enforcement officers.

Ling Xie sits on a bench, her back drawn out in an arc.

Ling Xie covered her face, her heart spreading with boundless anger and a disappointment that was even greater than the anger.

Until Jing Rong stepped forward, gently snapped the back of his head and pulled him onto himself.

Ling Xie's body stiffened and slowly softened again.

*

Jing Rong first went to his family doctor and cheekily asked for advice on the ointment needed after the incident. After the doctor's introduction, Jing Rong knew which one was the most comfortable, which one was the most cooling, and which one was the most effective.

Then ran to the pharmacy, tangled a bit, and finally simply buy all, this purchase is a whole bag.

When I returned to the film city, I knocked on Xi Gu's door with a bag of medicine.

Open the door is the ink point, ink point to see him, but also a little afraid, this is let them Xi Gu collapse persona of Alpha.

Either way, this is a scary man.

Murdock moved out of the way, then quietly closed the door, leaving them space.

Xi Gu's head is covered in the blanket, breathing evenly.

Those eight hours were not enough for him at first, but unexpectedly the aftermath was too much, and he took the whole day off today and slept through the night.

Jing Rong big hand on the forehead, okay, no fever.

As he opened Xi Gu's blanket and prepared to apply ointment, Xi Gu noticed something and opened his eyes with difficulty.

Suddenly saw a hand on his pants, startled: "You ......"

Jing Rong actually stammered at the look of his clear eyes, "I, I'll put medicine on you."

Xi Gu grabbed the ointment: "I'll do it myself!"

That kind of place, I myself have not looked carefully, the house is lit up like this, not everything can be seen clearly?

Xi Gu shook a little, or on the line themselves, you give me on I'm afraid I can not stand.

Jing Rong helped clean up the injury yesterday, so it was only natural.

Seeing Xi Gu's red face, he also became uncomfortable and gave Xi Gu a bag of ointments: "They're all in there, see which one is more comfortable."

Jing Rong stood up mechanically, said good night, and left quickly.

Xi Gu looked at the closed door of the room.

It took a while to look at the bag of ointment, which was specifically for Omega's room.

There are sticker strips on each of them with their respective purposes written on them, and the handwriting is by Jing Rong.

He actually went into this specifically?

"Ah~~~"

Wrapped in a blanket, Xi Gu screams under the covers and rolls around in bed.

*

Hanqi Wu woke up from her dream and opened her eyes.

The sudden inversion of his mind gave him a momentary moment of confusion as he rose, draped in a textured wool sweater, and looked calmly into the distance at the lightning and thunder.

He hadn't dreamed for a long time, and since he was very young, his dreams had only been the same scene.

Infinite darkness, and a constant downward spiral.

Today, the thick fog lifted a little.

Boundless consciousness is instilled into the mind, and at the beginning of the world's birth, only a small part of the consciousness is sent to a carrier, as if a seed is planted in the carrier that will not germinate.

Only at its crisis point will this carrier be reactivated.

Such an initiation also represents the end of a certain law in this world.

This carrier, which carries his sporadic consciousness, must meet the hard requirements of calmness, objectivity and power, and only then can it be possible to save the day.

Just last night, the whole world's laws were completely disrupted.

Once it runs out of energy, all of Destiny's Children, along with it, will disappear.

Hanqi Wu is a special person, and because of this specialness, he will not be read.

At this moment, a vast and dark space appears in his mind, and he looks at them like a master, without emotion or desire, a river of stars dividing the two sides.

The five human-shaped signs on the right side, two of them completely darkened, representing the inability to recover. Another one looks like a light bulb that is about to go out, flickering with light.

Only two human-shaped signs remain standing unharmed and should not have been affected by the wave.

There are also several human-shaped cards on the left side. The front-most human-shaped card with a flashing golden light cannot be moved; he has his own set destiny, but his fate has been tampered with.

In a sea of gray human-shaped cards, the most eye-catching is a piece of miscellaneous cards that had disappeared and then suddenly appeared, which is red and represents the alien, the bug that must be removed.

All cards that do not show the real name.

But Hanqi Wu can vaguely feel the pattern, the cards are both people. The two closest to him, 80% is the people around him, otherwise the heavenly path will not choose himself.

Hanqi Wu looked indifferently at the red human-shaped sign across the room and saw a small knife appear at the top with a total of five kill options, only one of which was shown to be available: Phantom

The reason is that the bug appears as an exception, there is no permission to handle it, and a price must be paid to unlock other options.

The illusion of energy left 40%, once the other party breaks the barrier, the lost energy will not return.

The first three times consumed a total of 60%, which means that it can accumulate the next energy after failure, increment by increment, the last time is the most powerful.

It didn't clear up three times, what a waste.

In response to Hanqi Wu, a muffled thunderclap thundered above the villa.

Hanqi Wu uninteresting eyes, finally appeared a trace of interest, his uninteresting life for decades, finally appeared interesting things.

The illusion is still left for the last time, search for the most wanted thing in the soul of the opponent and give the real illusion, keyword: water.

Who can escape the things that are most cherished in the human heart.

*

During this time, an anonymous staff account has caught fire on a small scale.

One is very early, # ah ah ah ah ah, people in the cast, excited almost can not breathe, the first kiss ah, the first kiss on screen G male stars ah! Who would have thought, I thought I would only see borrowing and borrowing and borrowing for the rest of my life! I didn't believe the director when he said the actors would be on screen this time, but for this kiss alone, I'll be able to go to the box office and brush up on it! #

At first there were only a few sentences, plus it wasn't any celebrity trumpet, no one took it to heart.

But with the occasional live pictures that this account later exploded, sharp-eyed people found some clues, and some sharp-eyed netizens have guessed that this staff member might be in the "Royal Power" crew.

This crew, except for the first scene at the beginning of the open part of the media and film critics to watch, declined all media visits, and then almost no sound, low-profile to the extreme.

If not for the occasional official website bursting out some photos, or the cast of the show every day fancy boasting delicious meals, it really thought the entire cast had disappeared from the industry.

G actor, could it be Xi Gu?

He is the only one who best fits this explosive situation. Xi Gu has always rejected emotional scenes and intimate scenes.

As a result, some marketing numbers began to speculate about it, but eventually it fell silent because no one responded.

Fen Xi even said categorically that it could never be them, Xi Gu, and if Xi Gu was willing to play the kiss scene, they could buy the whole scene!

When everyone thought that account would not send another message, another one was suddenly sent with an unknown meaning.

# Do you think the teenager next to you he's just a teenager, no, he could still be a big brother, to big brothers! #Big Brother

This statement is a bit cloudy, but soon after, it was rumored that the "Royalty" cast inside a "Mr. unspeakable", do not ask, ask is unspeakable.

Fans of all walks of life feel that they have been slipped several times for nothing, and in the end, no useful information has been obtained:

"Mr. Unspeakable wouldn't be the big brother who broke the news in the trumpet, right? Now it's anyone who can be shouted big brother?"

"Probably the most recent popularity of the second generation of the rich persona, which are the first few, which is not bursting out of the fake rich ah, the team of these personas can not use snacks, respect the intelligence of netizens?"

"The first time I saw this kind of peace of mind filming, not to make a demon not to engage in publicity period gossip crew, but repeatedly sent to the marketing number of the hot search!"

"Do not believe, do not spread rumors, only believe in the official website release!"

"The royal power is really miserable, being Cue all day long."

"Sisters, go watch the pilot of "Absolute Idol", I can't, I'm suffocating! The boss in it is simply broken legs, one person blood letter begging to debut!"

At first people didn't know what "Absolute Idol" was until they saw it under the amenity in quite a few places and started wondering what it really was, which is how they found out that it was an internal entertainment idol selection show that they bought the rights to.

The program team will select 100 practitioners, participate in the competition, the final selection of nine debut, combined into a new idol group, the pilot film, the camera crossed a handsome ABO, was watching the heart pounding, can not help but want to be a philandering sea king, until they saw a certain judge, and eventually many netizens were this judge to the powder.

This judge looks very young, why do I say looks, because I can't see the face.

The program team gave him a shot either the back, or only half of the face, at most from the tip of the nose to the lower jaw, in the words of netizens is that the contours are beautiful and intoxicating.

Next to the footage, the post is very thoughtful to add a row of words: non-combatants, here should be coded.

Next we found that the judge is not only very handsome, he is also very poisonous, from time to time to collapse out of a golden words: "The judge is very handsome:

"...... are 3 months, 1 month, and a no. Are you guys here to be funny?"

"Heh, I targeted a lonely."

"You mean you smoke and drink and race cars, but you're a good Alpha and I shouldn't just eliminate you?"

"Be confident and take the 'kind of' out of it, you're a rookie dancer."

......

"I'm going to be unable to control my screaming soul, popping out a golden phrase without thinking, that's not the point, the point is the voice sounds good, feel so temperamental ah! Kneel to decode, who is he in the end!!!"

"Say more if you can!"

"Too handsome, even if the poisonous tongue is also super charming, the voice is also very special, the main film has him? I want the main movie!"

"Does anyone else think his voice sounds like XJR's, but his is more charming, so natural and magnetic! Listen to be pregnant."

"XJR fans reach the scene in ten seconds."

"According to the judge's position, he should be a senior of Xietian Entertainment, so young, look at the back is so aura!"

"I just want to beg the judges for a C-suite, you deserve it!"

Because the pilot was a direct hit, Xietian Entertainment's senior manager asked Jing Rong if he wanted to reveal his true identity.

Jing Rong did not think that the Internet phrases that people used casually in the previous world, this world did not appear, this is just ordinary chat, it is not necessary.

There was a moment of silence: "Why didn't anyone tell me about this when they had been filming it?"

You are not even excited about the fire, why can you still remember such details?

Moreover, it is not afraid that there is a camera, you do not play well.

Who would have thought that you are even more unforgiving than Mr. Xie, can't you see that those players are afraid when they see you?

After Jing Rong declined to debut in this way, Xietian Entertainment officially released a statement immediately, saying that they do not intend to debut with the show because the judges are in-house staff, so thank you all for your love and we will do our best for this episode.

The more you don't give a look, the more curious you are, and the hotter this mysterious Mr. Toxic is as a result.

Although Xietian Entertainment is adamant about not revealing his identity, some media outlets with access have already heard the rumors, and it is because after hearing the rumors, they are more afraid to broadcast them freely.

This has led to Mr. Toxic's reputation getting more and more famous, but only to make people talk about the legend that no one dares to dig so far.

In Jing Rong's opinion, the heat brought by this accidental fame has instead contributed to the attention of "Absolute Idol", and perhaps it can be more popular than the original, Jing Rong is more concerned about how this original line will be broken.

Today's play is the second falling water play.

In the depth of a scene, Jing Rong finally gradually cured the camera phobia rooted in the body, of course, a large part of the reason is due to Xi Gu, Xi Gu in the early stage almost every scene, in various ways to let Jing Rong into the scene.

The story is about Jing Rong's eunuch Qianming Fu, who discovers that something tributed by an enemy country may be an addictive poison.

Qianming Fu once found a rat after stealing food, as if it was crazy to bite the wooden box containing tribute near the wood chips, its teeth and the surrounding blood dripping, and finally died of blood loss. He did not tell anyone about it, but kept it secret.

The poison, which has been sent to the palace by the third prince and others, is intended for the emperor and other people in high positions in the palace, who will then be able to use du addiction to force the emperor to revise the imperial decree of succession.

Qianming Fu had already mixed with the emperor, and he intended to destroy them privately before the things were tributed.

In order to keep Hua Shao from being implicated, he intends to fake a break with him and draw all the attention of the Third Prince's faction to himself.

At this time, Qianming Fu has already noticed that Hua Shao has some unusual thoughts about himself. In order to keep Hua Shao from revealing his true purpose, Qianming Fu hides it.

After a series of hurtful words, Hua Shao angrily dropped the jade pendant that the two had personally carved during their initial trip.

While Qianming Fu looks like he doesn't care, he comes to the shore in the middle of the night after Hua Shao leaves, looking for the jade pendant that has been thrown away somewhere.

However, he did not expect that Hua Shao only made a false move to throw the jade, and how to be hurt by Qianming Fu did not want to throw away, throwing only the body of the worthless string of beads, so no matter how to find, Qianming Fu is impossible to find.

Such a misadventure is as if it foreshadows the end of the play.

"In this scene, you mainly show your patience and pain, you care about Hua Shao in your heart, but you know that in this treacherous situation, you are not qualified to talk about love. Only this object is the link between the two of you, and you will do everything you can to find it, it's your only thought."

Jing Rong nodded, if seemingly glanced at Xi Gu not far away, today there is no Xi Gu play, Xi Gu just to observe, he is wearing his own self-service.

Due to the prevalence of the autumn tiger, the weather is not too cold today, Xi Gu actually wearing only midriff, sitting down when you can still see a small section of white thighs, around many eyes are staring at his pair of long white legs.

Xi Gu is still oblivious, stretching lazily, with a lollipop in his mouth, oh, he gave it, plum flavor.

Jing Rong looks at it from time to time, a little fuzzy in his heart, and wants to put a blanket on Xi Gu's legs.

But he was too selfish, Alpha's damned possessiveness was at work again. Xi Gu didn't wear any revealing clothes, just showed his legs, he's really wide of the mark.

Jing Rong never noticed Xi Gu's downcast expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

On the shore, at some point, an unexpected guest came and Feiyu Wu's critical area was finally healed by the unstinting money attack.

He was wearing a luxury, still acting arrogantly, came to the resting place, let the assistant beside him to share the milk tea, meaning that it was hard for them to shoot the night scene in the middle of the night.

Manni Xia, who is the main female character, also saw him and wondered, "Why is this one here again?"

Xi Gu smiled, saw the second generation surrounded by a group of people, did not say anything.

"I mean, he's not coming at you, is he?"

"It's not me." It's my man.

Feiyu Wu was watching the crew from afar with his legs crossed, his eyes darting back and forth between Xi Gu and Jing Rong.

When he found Xi Gu's eyes on him, he even greeted him in a good mood.

Xi Gu thought of what he had done, but the other side acted as if nothing had happened, but more scrupulous, with Feiyu Wu that arrogant and domineering nature, how could it be completely unconcerned.

Xi Gu looked like he didn't see it, concentrating on the script.

His body has recovered, Jing Rong seems rough, but in fact is very gentle.

Although the size is a bit inappropriate, he can slowly adapt to it and maybe get used to it in a few more times, but when will there be a next time?

Jing Rong was briefly out of touch since the day he said something about his contract. Except for when he was filming, he would leave the set at other times, seemingly to go out to deal with Jia Xie and the company's business. After learning of Jing Rong's other identity, the entire directing team gave Jing Rong the green light.

Although there is still daily contact, but his seduction plan out of the blue, can not even touch the person, how to seduce.

With no contract in place and an Alpha on his tail, Xi Gu felt as if he was walking a tightrope with an uncertain future.

This side of the play is open.

By the lotus pond, Qianming Fu once again comes to the place where he quarreled with Hua Shao in the daytime, where the river of stars and the moon are reflected on the surface of the pond.

He first glanced at the empty perimeter and looked in a complicated manner at the direction where Hua Shao had thrown the jade pendant.

Suddenly, a long leap, the flowing clothes in the air, the distant fireflies drifting between the trees.

Once in the water, to no avail, went ashore and took a deep breath.

His look, at times hesitant, at times eager.

Get in the water again.

The second time, still to no avail.

The camera slowly pulls in closer to bring out his expressions one by one.

Until the third time in the water, this time the time passed, but Jing Rong did not come up signs.

The director remembers Jing Rong saying that his water resistance is very good, and he has no problem with two or three minutes.

Intending to continue shooting, Xi Gu suddenly stood up: "Stop, director Liu!"

Xi Gu looked at his watch, it had been 2 minutes and 03 seconds since Jing Rong had launched into the water.

Even according to the plot, Jing Rong should not be unable to return up.

It's never Jing Rong's intention to get more into the scene. Jing Rong is not the kind of person to change the pace of acting on the fly.

Xi Gu looked at the sky, the moon was bright and windy, the nebulae were dense, there was nothing wrong, but he had an inexplicable sense of panic.

Xi Gu did not have time to think, in the crowd's alarm, jumped into the water.
