Chapter 467: The Despicable Agent
We walked into the house and saw that Yi Xiwas awake. He looked dispirited. He asked for some water.
I gave him a bottle of mineral water. After taking a few sips, he looked around. Suddenly, he hugged Yin Xinyueand sobbed.Sister Yin, what should I do now? My acting career ispletely ruined!
Earlier,Ididnt have a chance to read the news on the Inte carefully, soI used my phone to check again.
This morning,ananonymous person sent a lot of information and photos to many press agencies. They were all about Yi Xi having private moments with some men.
Whether he liked men or women, one thing was clearhis personal life wasplicated.
Those photos werent taken on the same day. Someone must have collected them over a long timetodirtyhis name.
Ithought ofone personand immediately asked,Was there anything wrong with your agent today?
Song? This morning he told me that hehadsome stuff to do. He left and Then, Yi Xis face changed drastically. Damn, that bastard! Heplotted against me! I have to kill him!
He was still weak. He struggled to get up, but he fell right back on his butt.
Sincehis soulhadstabilized not too long ago, I was worried about him. Calm down. Yesterday, I asked your agent to keep this mask. How did you end up wearing it?
I dont know. I was taking a nap in my van. When I woke up, he was gone. The mask wascedin a bag on the driversseat. Then, mypany called meand toldme that there were so many negative news articles about me on theInte. I checkedthe news onmy phone and feltas ifmy head had exploded
He gritted his teeth.Then, I heard many people in the film crew discussing the news andughing at me. I hated them so much. I put on the mask, andI dontremember anything after that.
This was a deliberate act.
I told Yi Xi, You should rest. Im going to help youfindyour agent. You guys can talk faceto face. Is it okay?
Yi Xi agreed. I went with Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue to the entrance of the town. Because of the incident in the afternoon, the film crew members were there to avoid the danger. They flocked together like scared birds.
Director, wheres Yi Xis agent? I asked the director.
I dont know.
Didnt I ask you tofort him?Therearehugenews threads about him. Why did you guys talk ill behind his back? I wasupset.
The director wore an innocent face. Iwasshooting the drama the entire afternoon. There are a fewhundred peoplehere. How could I control their mouths?
I went to check Yi Xis van. Thevan was not locked.There was an envelope on the driversseat with Yi Xis nameon it. Yin Xinyue stopped me. Its not good to do that. What if hebeseven angrierif he finds outthatyouopened the letter?
But what if this letter contains something too overwhelming? I should read it first, I said.
I opened the envelope. It was a resignation letter that listedall the timesYi Xi had causedproblemswith his love affairs. Every time it happened,the agent had to clean up his mess. It even included theirplicated rtionship.
The agentlovedYi Xibut started to hate himter. Thatwaswhy he hade up with this revenge n to destroy him. If Yi Xi killed someone today, the police wouldnt care if he had been possessed byanotherworldly item ornot. He would have been jailed or confined in an asylum. He wouldnt have been able to be a starorleada normal life.After all, Yi Xi always had a privileged life. Thisblowwould be more painful than death to him.
It was fortunate that we had solved the case on time. Otherwise, we couldnt imagine the consequences.
Yi Xis personal lifeis a mess. Yin Xinyue furrowed her brows. However, this agent crossed the line.
I also didnt feelfortablethattheman had run away.
Afterward, we didnt tell Yi Xi anything. Your agent admitted that hedidthese things. Moreover, hes resigned.
Yi Xiclenchedhisteeth. Ivealways treated him well. Icantbelieve that he stabbedmelike that!He clutched his head. Its a big scandal this time! What should I do now?
Yin Xinyueforted him. I dontthink itsthat big of a deal.Youve been hiding the truth for too long. Thats why everyone is so shocked right now. Many movie stars have out of the closet. Theyveevengainedmore fans. Youshouldconsiderittoo.
Yi Xi sighed. Its really hard to earn a bowl of rice in this industry.
You should be more carefboutyour personal life. Celebritiesliveunderamagnifying ss. Normal people dont need to mind theirimage thatmuch, and they can live their lives casually. However, celebritiesare different. To have the glorious halo around you, you must sacrifice something. Dont you think so?
Yi Xi had tears in his eyes. He reachedout ahandand pattedmy shoulder. Mr. Zhang, thank you for helping me. Can you stay andfort me?
Er, this I turned to look at Yin Xinyue.
She tried to hold in herughter. I have some stuff to do. See you.
After this event, we stayed in the filming location for a few days. Yi Xirecoveredshortly after. Without the aidofthe mask, he couldnt immerse himself in his character. However, thismanwas tough enough. Hememorizedall of his lines and eventually understood the character. Gradually, he got in the rightstate.
Having confidence was a good thing. However, too much confidence wouldmake a personnarcissistic and ignorant. They couldnt ept any critiques orments. Theydgraduallyistethemselves from the rest of the world. When they noticed that their friends had distanced themselves from them,it would be toote toregretit.
I believed Yi Xi hadlearneda good lessonfrom this scandal. He wouldntact like thatagain!
Before we left the filming location, the staff member from the prop team found meand toldme that I didnt keep my word. I had promised that I would give him an otherworldly itemthat would makehim rich after he helped me. However, I hadnt done anything.
I then remembered my promise. I didnt bring it with me. Ill send it to you when Igethome. Could you give me your contact information and address?
After we returned to Wuhan, I saw on theInte that someone had kept digging into Yi Xis case, discovering that it was the doing ofhis agent.
His scandal heated up a second time. People mocked that one shouldnt find an agent named Song.Ironically, agent Song became more famous as people kept cursing him. They madehis name well-known. Many people were willing to hire him. He opened a blog to expose Yi Xi and spread rumors about him. Some talk-show hosts even invited him to their programs.
The more shameless people were, the more popr they could be!
Half a year ago, I had collected a Yin and Yang money bag. It was a tricky deal. This money bag had two parts. One helped earn money, while the other drained your money. With the good money bag, money and opportunities woulde unceasingly. However, when one had both of the bags, there would be no effect at all.
The trickier part was that ifthe first ownerdidnt throwthe money bagaway, thesecond ownercouldnt throw his bag, either.
Thus, I sent the prop team member the good money bag and asked Yin Xinyue to send the evil money bag to agent Song through his newpanys address. I put a note inside that bagthatwrote, If you dont do anything bad, you wont be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
I hoped that he would remember it for a long time and that he would never stab peoples backs again.Regardless ofthereasons hehad, it was disgusting!
