ROSGT Chapter 161: The Hilarious Assassin’s Murder Symphony, Part Three
Fang Nan's words were so resolute that Blood Fox felt a powerful pressure.
"She did it on purpose. She must know there's poison in this wine!" Blood Fox couldn't help but think.
The determination on Fang Nan's face left him with no way to resist. His palms were instantly sweaty as countless attack plans flashed through his mind, but he rejected them one by one. The woman in front of him wasn't an ordinary person; he realized that yesterday when she easily broke his wrist.
Acting rashly could provoke a brutal counterattack, which scared him. So, he didn't dare to make a move.
Blood Fox looked at Ye Chui, but seeing the expression on Ye Chui's face made him shiver slightly—Ye Chui wore a cold smile, looking at him meaningfully, as if to say, "Kid, you have some guts to try and set me up."
"This person isn't simple either..."
Blood Fox then looked at Zheng Zishan.
Zheng Zishan was glaring angrily at Blood Fox. He had been enthusiastically talking to Ye Chui, only to be interrupted by this unwelcome waiter, so he had a reason to be upset.
"Hey!"
Fang Nan reached out and patted Blood Fox on the shoulder, "Are you going to drink this wine or not?"
Blood Fox trembled slightly and looked at Fang Nan.
Fang Nan leaned in a bit closer, her beautiful face now showing a cruel smile that made Blood Fox's heart tremble. She continued, "If you don't drink this wine, I won't feel comfortable. Do me a favor, okay?"
This was reverse psychology!
Blood Fox quickly realized this and thought to himself how ruthless this woman was. She had discovered he was an assassin and wanted to use his own methods against him. Blood Fox was certain that if he didn't drink the wine, Fang Nan would deal with him even more brutally!
However, if he drank the wine, he would have a short ten-minute window to detoxify himself. He had antidotes in his car parked outside!
Drinking the wine would give him a slim chance of survival.
Not drinking... would mean certain death!
With that thought, Blood Fox's Adam's apple bobbed, and with a look of tragic resolve, he took the wine glass from Fang Nan and took a sip.
He felt a deep sadness in his heart.
Yingtang toxin was a deadly poison he had painstakingly acquired. He never imagined he would one day experience its effects firsthand...
But he had no choice. He had met a formidable opponent.
Seeing Blood Fox drink the wine, even just a small sip, made Fang Nan happy. She finally felt forgiven by this suitor. She had felt guilty since injuring Blood Fox and sending him to the hospital yesterday, only to find him gone when she returned. Now, she could finally let it go.
"I'm... I'm leaving..." Blood Fox turned to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Fang Nan coughed. Since she had rejected Blood Fox, she felt the need to encourage him in terms of romance, so she said, "Well, I'm really sorry, but I already have a boyfriend. I like him very much, and I will never hurt him, nor will I let anyone else hurt him. I hope you understand."
Saying this, Fang Nan sweetly took Ye Chui's hand, her face showing a sweet smile.
"I... I understand..." Blood Fox said, sweating profusely and calculating the time. He understood that Fang Nan was warning him not to harm Ye Chui!
What a terrifying woman, speaking so indirectly. Such people... are always the most difficult and frightening!
"Why are you sweating so much?" Fang Nan asked curiously, quickly grabbing a napkin and handing it to Blood Fox to wipe his sweat. She sighed inwardly, thinking this suitor must be in great pain. Could she really be that attractive?
She's mocking me! Blood Fox was now absolutely certain.
He trembled as he took the napkin and wiped his face, hoarsely saying, "Can... can I leave now?"
Time was running out.
"Oh, I still have a lot to say to you." Fang Nan said playfully.
Blood Fox shivered again—was she not leaving him any chance to live?
"Um, actually..." Fang Nan continued. When it came to comforting people, she was at a loss. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she turned to Ye Chui, "Chui, why don't you say something?"
Seeing Fang Nan's embarrassment, Ye Chui smiled and patted her hand, then said to Blood Fox, "You're a good person. You'll find a better girl in the future."
—He decided to hand out Fang Nan's "good person card" himself.
Blood Fox's eyes were bloodshot, feeling the effects of the toxin slowly spreading through his body. He didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Chui's words, but they sounded profound!
This person was not ordinary.
A man protected by such a terrifying and ruthless woman was indeed even more terrifying and ruthless!
"I... I understand..."
Blood Fox said hoarsely, not knowing what Ye Chui's words meant but knowing he had to play along. He continued to speak humbly, "Please... let me leave. I promise I won't bother you again."
Ye Chui didn't really want to make things difficult for him. It was normal for someone as beautiful as Fang Nan to have admirers. In fact, Ye Chui still felt a bit guilty. He picked up the bottle of wine on the table and handed it to Blood Fox, "This wine is quite expensive. Since it can't be returned, you can have it. Uh, you can leave now."
Blood Fox took the bottle from Ye Chui, his body swaying, then hurriedly walked towards the exit, even bumping into a table on the way.
"He must be very sad..."
Fang Nan watched Blood Fox's fleeing figure and couldn't help but sigh, then sat back down beside Ye Chui.
Ye Chui held Fang Nan's hand to comfort her, thinking that she was so beautiful. Although no one had appreciated her wild side in the past few years, eventually, people would understand her cuteness—if no one did, he would film "My Sassy Girl" and surely attract many similar admirers... Wait, wasn't he inviting trouble himself?
Then Ye Chui turned to Zheng Zishan, "Oh, sorry about the interruption. You can continue."
"It's nothing," Zheng Zishan quickly replied, then continued sharing his views on the film "The Eagle Shooting Heroes." "I think this movie will create a new trend and style. That kind of extremely exaggerated performance will definitely be accepted by others!"
"Can you tell me why you're so confident?" Ye Chui asked. "As far as I know, you've been trying this movie style for nine years without success. What gives you this confidence now?"
"My confidence had long been worn away," Zheng Zishan smiled bitterly, but then his eyes lit up again. "However, seeing your script, I regained my confidence. Mr. Ye, please let me direct it. I believe no one in this world is more suitable to turn this script into a movie!"
Ye Chui appeared thoughtful.
Although Ye Chui didn't fully understand what Zheng Zishan was talking about, he vaguely felt it was similar to nonsensical comedy. Maybe this person was indeed the most suitable director for the film.
During the conversation, Fang Nan had been searching for information about Zheng Zishan online. Now, having formed a fair opinion of him, she told Ye Chui, "According to online comments, Director Zheng Zishan is quite talented, but his ideas have been problematic, preventing him from making good films. I think he would be suitable to direct 'The Eagle Shooting Heroes.'"
"I see." Ye Chui smiled and nodded, extending his hand to Zheng Zishan, "I hope we have a pleasant collaboration."
Ye Chui didn't like dragging things out. Since he decided to use Zheng Zishan, he naturally had to trust him.
Zheng Zishan looked grateful.
Ye Chui's trust was incredibly precious to him at this moment!
He was touched and secretly vowed that this might be his last chance, so he had to seize it and present this film in the most perfect way!
Having decided to collaborate, the next step was to discuss the film's production.
"Mr. Ye, how much do you plan to invest in this film?" Zheng Zishan asked seriously, as this was a crucial factor determining the movie's quality.
Ye Chui thought for a moment: his father's factory, while having solved the most important core component issue, still required considerable expenses in other areas, and future funding needs were unpredictable.
The game website and magazine business were doing well but were still in their infancy, so they couldn't bring significant revenue yet.
Currently, his most profitable venture was the weekly game releases.
Considering all this, Ye Chui realized he didn't have much spare cash...
After some thought, Ye Chui hesitantly said, "Five million, will that do?"
"Five million!?" Zheng Zishan was shocked.
Ye Chui sighed, "Is it really too little?"
In another world, film investments often exceeded tens of millions or even billions. Five million seemed modest.
"This... this is too much!?" Zheng Zishan exclaimed. "To date, the highest film investment has been only four hundred and fifty thousand. Mr. Ye, are you sure you want to invest five million?"
"What, five million is a lot?" Ye Chui was surprised.
Wow, the people in this world must really be living in difficult times...
Five million was the highest amount Ye Chui could offer without affecting his father's factory funds.
Ye Chui thought it was a conservative figure.
But it clearly made Zheng Zishan ecstatic.
