Chapter 557 Cry for Help 2
"Auntie, there's nothing we can do about this. I can't exactly go to Brother Long to demand an explanation, can I?"
Fatty Lin pretended to be puzzled.
"Xiao Lin, we didn't come here to demand an explanation!"
Mother Bai quickly said.
"Auntie, what do you mean?" I asked.
"Xiao Lin, we didn't just get humiliated by Big Brother Long!" Bai's mother said again.
"Who else?" I couldn't help but ask.
"And General Manager Huang and Brother Zeng too!" said Mother Bai.
"Is Mr. Huang Dacheng?" I asked.
"Yes!" Mother Bai nodded.
"Where's Brother Zeng?" I asked.
"Could it be Zeng Xiaowei?"
Before Bai's mother could answer, I had already thought of the answer.
"It's him!" Mother Bai nodded again.
"Tsk!"
I was speechless, but I understood what had happened to them.
Their experiences reminded me of Wang Zixuan before.
A few years ago, Wang Zixuan was sent to Hong Kong Island by Mr. Wu of Tiancheng Entertainment. As a result, under the guidance of Wang Jingxiang, a director in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, she attended all kinds of drinking parties and accompanied all kinds of people.
The consequence of this was that Wang Zixuan became a laughing stock in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Nobody looked down on her or treated her like a human being. Anyone could yell at her and take advantage of her.
Later, after we arrived in Hong Kong Island, Fatty Lin, considering that we were both from the mainland, gave her some pointers, which improved her situation considerably.
Wang Zixuan returned to the mainland to develop her career for two reasons. First, the Hong Kong entertainment circle was xenophobic, and locals didn't have many opportunities. As someone from the mainland with a bad reputation, she had even fewer chances. Second, it was Lin Pangzi who persuaded her, presenting the facts and reasoning with her, which led her to go back.
In contrast to Wang Zixuan, Bai Yimei is actually the same.
Returning to the mainland is the best choice.
"You guys are like people who would never get tired of being fooled, aren't you?" Fatty Lin couldn't keep up the act any longer and couldn't hold back anymore.
"The main problem is that Xiaomei's godfather got into trouble, and no one is taking care of us anymore. We also had a falling out with Huayi, so we panicked. We're like a lifeline to anyone who offers us a little kindness!" Bai's mother explained, her voice slightly pale.
"Auntie, what do you mean now? You want us to find resources for Xiaomei?" Fatty Lin asked.
"No, no!" Mother Bai waved her hand.
"What does that mean?" Fatty Lin asked.
Just as Bai's mother was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it, her expression changed, but she still answered the call.
"Brother Zeng, what's up?"
"Can we go tomorrow?"
"Xiao Mei isn't feeling well!"
"Brother Zeng, Xiao Mei really isn't feeling well!"
"hands-free!"
As Bai's mother's answers grew increasingly weak, Fatty Lin spoke up.
Bai's mother glanced at Fatty Lin, but still pressed the speakerphone button.
"Don't push your luck! We told you to come tonight, so come tonight!"
As soon as the hands-free button was pressed, Zeng Xiaowei's hoarse voice came through.
"Wow, Wei Ge is so domineering!"
Fatty Lin curled his lips into a cold smile and took over the conversation.
Upon hearing Fatty Lin's voice, the person on the other end went silent.
"Is that Kobayashi?"
About three seconds later, Zeng Xiaowei's cautious voice came from the phone.
"Brother Wei, it's me!" Fatty Lin replied with a forced smile.
"Xiao Lin, is Xiao Mei with you?" Zeng Xiaowei asked.
"Yes, does Viagra have any objections to this?" Fatty Lin asked with a smile.
"No, I have no objection!"
Zeng Xiaowei quickly denied it, "Xiao Lin, as long as you have fun, I have some things to do, I'll hang up now!"
After saying that, the phone was disconnected.
"Auntie, tell me, what happened?"
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Fatty Lin asked in a deep voice.
"Xiao Lin, you saw it all, it's just that!" Bai's mother said after a long silence.
"What do you mean by 'just that's how it is'?" Fatty Lin pressed.
Bai's mother fell silent again.
Fatty Lin then looked at Bai Yimei.
Since coming in, apart from greeting us and saying thank you when she accepted the tea, Bai Yimei hasn't said a single word.
Fat Lin's gaze remained silent as she sat upright, staring straight ahead, just like a primary school student attentively listening to a lesson.
Seeing her like this, Fatty Lin sighed, turned to look at Bai's mother, and asked, "Auntie, what exactly happened?"
"Kobayashi, you could probably guess even if I didn't tell you!"
Bai's mother gave a bitter smile and said, "In the past two years, we've put in a lot of effort to find resources. Zeng Xiaowei and his gang have taken many photos of Xiaomei, and they threaten us with those photos whenever we don't comply!"
"Oh shit!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin cursed.
Actually, we had anticipated this situation.
Predicting something is one thing, hearing it with your own ears is another.
In the entertainment industry, it's an open secret that you have to pay a price to gain resources.
But there's one thing: don't use force. Using force is despicable, and not only despicable, it crosses the line.
After all, it's 09 now, not 79.
I'm starting to understand why Bai Yimei is like a puppet.
Anyone would have problems if treated like this.
"Tell me, besides Zeng Xiaowei, who else is threatening you?" Fatty Lin asked after a moment's pause.
"Zeng Xiaowei, Big Brother Long, and Huang Dacheng all have photos and videos, but only Zeng Xiaowei is threatening us!" said Bai's mother.
"Big Brother Long and Huang Dacheng never threatened you?" Fatty Lin didn't believe it.
"It was Zeng Xiaowei who threatened us at first. Later, my elder brother Long and Huang Dacheng also called us, but they never said anything threatening. They never wasted words when they called. They just told us where to go. If we didn't go, Zeng Xiaowei would call us!" said Mother Bai.
"What's there to not understand? These three are in cahoots, letting Zeng Xiaowei be the one to stick his neck out, while Big Brother Long and Huang Dacheng hide behind and reap the benefits!" Fatty Lin said.
"I know that's how it is, but I can't help it!" Mother Bai said with a mournful face.
I shook my head. To put it bluntly, Zeng Xiaowei and his gang bullied the mother and daughter because they had no powerful backers. That's why they dared to bully them so recklessly.
If the two of them hadn't fallen out with Huayi, Zeng Xiaowei and the others would have had some reservations.
Just like Wang Zixuan, no matter how bad her reputation is or how many dinner parties she has attended, no one has forced themselves on her because of Mr. Wu of Tiancheng.
Wang Zixuan's bad reputation in the Hong Kong entertainment circle is entirely of her own making.
"Auntie, did you come to see me today because you want us to help you get your photos back?"
After pausing for a moment, Fatty Lin asked.
"Yes, yes!" Mother Bai nodded repeatedly, saying, "We don't ask for anything else, we just want the photos back so we won't be threatened by them anymore!"
"Xiao Lin, name your price, any amount is fine, we still have some savings!"
Seeing that Fatty Lin did not agree, Mother Bai hurriedly spoke up.
"Auntie, it's not about the money, I agree!" Fatty Lin glanced at Bai Yimei, whose eyes were devoid of any light, and nodded.
