Chapter 65 The Talented Master Lan
"Going to bed with him, it's okay?"
Long Nier muttered to herself, then looked at Liu Mochou suspiciously.
"Sister-in-law, that's how Hong Kong is. To establish yourself here, you need someone to protect you—whether it's a tycoon, a triad, or a big shot in the industry. But they won't protect you for no reason; you always have to give something in return!"
Liu Mochou sighed and said, "When I first came to Hong Kong, I was called a 'northern girl,' and nobody respected me, so I needed someone to protect me even more!"
"Back then, I had no money, and my family had no resources. All I could rely on was my body!"
"If I don't sell myself out, I simply can't survive!"
"I'm actually doing alright in this situation; that other North Korean, Lydia, is in a truly miserable state!"
As she spoke, Liu Mochou exhaled, her face filled with sighs.
"Li Danna, didn't she marry Li Feihong and live a good life?" Long Nier asked curiously.
Lin Pangzi and I exchanged a glance. Li Danna is now Li Feihong's flesh and blood bun; she can hardly be called a good person.
"Is she alright?"
Liu Mochou snorted and said, "She's had a terrible time ever since she entered this industry!"
"Sister Mary, tell me, I love hearing gossip!" Long Ni'er's eyes widened instantly.
Her current demeanor is completely different from how she acted without regard for human life at Rong Ge's villa.
"Like me, Li Danna is from the same background as me, but because she came from a beauty pageant, she has a wider profile and was targeted as soon as she entered the industry!" Liu Mochou said.
"Who's watching us?" Long Nier asked.
"Master Lan!" Liu Mochou replied.
"Who is Master Lan?" Long Nier asked, somewhat confused.
The same goes for me and Fatty Lin; we'd never heard of this person before.
You've all heard of the Four Great Talents of Hong Kong, right?
Liu Mochou said.
"I've heard of this!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "Two are novelists, one is a songwriter, and there's one more..."
"What does the fourth one do? Could it be this Master Lan?"
As Long Nier spoke, she looked at Liu Mochou.
"That's him!"
A complex look flashed in Liu Mochou's eyes as she said, "He has many titles: writer, gourmet, host, film producer. He produced many of Big Brother Long's films!"
"He has an excellent reputation abroad; his name as a talented man resonates throughout the Chinese community in Southeast Asia!"
"But who knows just how wicked he really is!"
"In the entire Hong Kong film industry, there are few people worse than him!"
"What did he do?"
Before Long Nier could even ask, I asked first.
"What did you do?"
A flicker of fear crossed Liu Mochou's eyes as she said, "His specialty is pimping for rich people. If he gets targeted by a triad, at most he'll end up making movies for them; if they're box office hits, he can get a kickback!"
"Once someone is targeted by Master Lan, they're left wishing for death. I've seen many female celebrities in the industry driven to the brink of collapse and forced to retire because of her torment!"
"Of these, Lydia Shum is the most pitiful!"
"Not long after entering the industry, Ridonna caught the eye of Lan Ye!"
"Being played by those rich businessmen is a minor matter; the key issue is that Master Lan didn't treat her like a human being at all, but rather as a stepping stone to fame and fortune!"
"When Lydia refused, Lan used drugs to control her!"
"Back then, Lan even gave Lydia a nickname: 'Flesh Bodhisattva'!"
"That's really terrible!" I said.
"That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that, in order to break her will, Master Lan frequently humiliated her in public!" Liu Mochou exhaled and said, "After several times, from the lowest-level production assistants and prop masters to the directors and male actors who acted opposite her, no one treated her like a human being!"
"Especially Ma Dingfa, who used filming as an excuse to beat her up until her face was bruised and swollen. After beating her, he even joined the crew in humiliating Lydia!"
"I remember that my older brother Long also worked with Ridonna!" I said.
"Xiao Feng, do you think Big Brother Long will let Li Danna go?" Liu Mochou asked.
"Won't!"
I gave the answer without even thinking.
Big Brother Long is notorious for his womanizing ways; he doesn't refuse anyone who comes his way. Moreover, given Lidonna's reputation for womanizing, how could he possibly let her go?
"How did Lydia finally get rid of Lan Ye?" Long Nier asked.
"She got close to the gambling king and used his power to scare away Master Lan. However, later, she was put on a kill list by the gambling king's wives, forcing her to leave him and get involved with Li Feihong!"
Speaking of this, Liu Mochou's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Sister Mary, what does that smile mean?" Long Nier asked.
"The meaning is very simple: Lidonna just jumped from one pit into another!" Liu Mochou said.
"You mean, Li Feihong isn't a good person either?" Long Nier blinked, her face full of curiosity.
"Li Feihong went to see Xiao Feng for treatment. You can ask Xiao Feng and you'll know!" Liu Mochou said.
Long Nier looked at me and said in a sweet voice, "Brother, tell me!"
"OK!"
How could I refuse? I told them everything I knew.
"Wow, this is really interesting!"
Long Nier was up to something, and her voice was exactly the same as when she had used the three pills to provoke Rong Ge earlier.
"Mary, please continue!"
Coming to her senses, Long Nier patted Liu Mochou.
Liu Mochou trembled and asked, "What did you say?"
"Tell me about Zeng Xiaowei, about you asking him to be your backer!" Long Nier said.
"Zeng Xiaowei's father was a subordinate of Lei Luo, the 'Five Hundred Million Detective.' Lei Luo had connections in both the underworld and legitimate society back then. Although he later fled, his network of influence remained. As a result, Zeng Xiaowei was very well-connected in the industry and could resolve many issues. That's how I got his help!" Liu Mochou said.
"Didn't you say you were card-playing buddies?" Long Nier asked curiously.
"Sometimes card-playing buddies are also bed partners!" Liu Mochou said.
"Does your boyfriend Liang Yongren know? Didn't you two have a meal together a couple of days ago and treat your brother to dinner? If your boyfriend knows, won't he feel embarrassed?" Long Nier turned into a curious child and kept asking questions.
"Know!"
Liu Mochou felt somewhat helpless, but had no choice but to answer.
"Your boyfriend is very generous!" Long Nier said.
Liu Mochou twitched the corner of her mouth, unsure how to respond for a moment.
"I rarely sleep with Zeng Xiaowei anymore!"
After a moment, Liu Mochou spoke again.
"I've heard that Zeng Xiaowei is called a pervert by many people, is that true?" Long Nier asked again.
"It's true!"
Liu Mochou glanced at the two of us through the rearview mirror, seemingly wanting us to help her out of the predicament.
I pretended not to see her and moved to the side to avoid her gaze.
Fatty Lin's actions were exactly the same as mine.
"He and Li Feihong have been very close these past two years, and Li Danna has suffered quite a bit from them!"
Left with no other choice, Liu Mochou could only continue speaking.
