Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 486 Funding problem?

Wang Xinxin's emotions gradually calmed down, and she gently raised her head, with a new light shining in her eyes. She looked at Lin Ke, her tone filled with curiosity and concern: "Lin Ke, didn't you say you had a new project in preparation? How is the progress?"

Lin Ke put his hands in his pockets and looked out the window at the pattering rain. "Well, that project does have great potential, but it's still stuck on funding."

"Funding problem?" Wang Xinxin answered quickly, "How much is the shortage?"

Lin Ke turned around and frowned slightly, "A lot actually. We talked to several investors, but we couldn't reach an agreement. They thought the risk was too great."

After hearing this, Wang Xinxin thought for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "Then let me vote." Her voice was firm and powerful.

Lin Ke was stunned, "Are you sure? This is not a small amount."

"Of course I'm sure." Wang Xinxin smiled, "I believe in your vision and ability. Besides, I also want to see the success of the work we jointly participate in."

Lin Ke approached her, with gratitude and respect in his eyes. "Thank you so much, Xinxin. With your support, I feel more confident."

Lin Ke and Wang Xinxin stood under the spacious porch, the air still filled with the residual warmth of the affectionate conversation just now. Lin Ke glanced at his watch and frowned slightly.

"Be careful!" Lin Ke instinctively pulled Wang Xinxin back a few steps. He looked around nervously, "What's going on?"

"The possibility is very high." Lin Ke's face darkened. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to call the police.

The two of them had just walked to the wrought iron gate of the luxury villa when suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and a stone flew past them and hit the flower bed next to the door hard.

Wang Xinxin nodded, "Okay, thank you for taking care of me tonight."

But the other party didn't seem to stop because of this, and threw a few more pebbles in the darkness. Although they failed to hit both of them, it was enough to make the atmosphere even more tense.

Lin Ke protected Wang Xinxin and retreated into the house, and shouted seriously: "We didn't offend you, please respect yourself! Otherwise the police will be here soon!"

"It's getting late, let me take you back." Lin Ke said, gently putting on Wang Xinxin's thin coat.

At this time, another stone flew towards them, this time more accurately, hitting them not far from their feet. "Get out of here! Do you think you can be safe just by investing some money?" A rough male voice came from the darkness.

"What nonsense!" Wang Xinxin couldn't help but angrily yelled, "We are just doing business properly! Do we need to scare people like this?"

Wang Xinxin also looked a little panicked, "Could it be that Xiaoba just now who is looking for trouble again?"

Lin Ke clenched his fists, "Let's wait until the police arrive and see if they still yell."

Lin Ke looked around nervously and already dialed the police station on his cell phone. His eyes were firm, and despite the critical situation, as a former extra turned celebrity in the entertainment industry, he was no stranger to handling emergencies.

"Xinxin, go to the car and wait for me first." Lin Ke whispered to Wang Xinxin, trying to stay calm.

Wang Xinxin nodded. Although she was still panicked in her heart, she trusted Lin Ke to handle everything safely. She walked quickly to the car parked on the side of the road. However, when she pressed the remote control key, she only heard the sound of gas leaking from the tires. "Ah!" she exclaimed, "my wheel is deflated!" Lin Ke immediately turned around and looked back after hearing the sound, "What? Who is so mean!"

Wang Xinxin was so angry that she kicked the flat tire, "This is too much! We didn't offend anyone! These people are really lawless!" She loudly rebuked the invisible enemies in the air.

"Don't get close to the car!" Lin Ke shouted, pulling Wang Xinxin back a few steps, "It's not safe outside now."

Lin Ke frowned and glanced around with blazing eyes. His voice was low and urgent: "Xinxin, have you offended anyone recently? This doesn't look like an accident."

Wang Xinxin shook her head, her face full of confusion and panic, "I really can't remember, Lin Ke. I've always been very careful."

"Be careful! Any little thing!" Lin Ke asked. He knew that every small move in the entertainment industry could have unpredictable consequences.

Wang Xinxin opened her mouth, as if she was trying to remember, "Just that time at the party. Xiaoba! Yes, the Xiaoba who harassed me just now!"

"Xiaoba?" Lin Ke raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" Wang Xinxin revealed a hint of fear as she spoke.

At this time, Xiaoba, who was observing in the dark, sneered in his heart when he saw this. He felt a twisted sense of satisfaction watching the two get into trouble. Camera in hand ready to capture more chaos.

Lin Ke's face became even more gloomy after hearing this, "This guy really dares to play with fire!" He looked around to try to find out the hidden dangers. "We can't just sit back and wait for this to happen."

A trace of determination flashed in Lin Ke's eyes. He held the phone tightly and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Xinxin, you go back to my house first. It's safe there. I have to solve this Xiaoba problem myself."

Wang Xinxin's eyes were full of worry and reluctance, "But Lin Ke, this is too dangerous! What if he does something to you?"

"Don't worry!" Lin Ke patted her shoulder gently, "I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, why haven't I seen big storms? Let Xiao Ba know today that we are not easy to mess with!"

Wang Xinxin wanted to say something else, but seeing Lin Ke's determined back, she could only nod in agreement.

Under Lin Ke's firm gaze, Wang Xinxin finally nodded with tears in her eyes, turned around and walked towards his home. She knew that Lin Ke was not a person who took unnecessary risks. If he said he was sure, then he must have a way.

At the same time, Lin Ke was hiding in the dark, watching the surroundings with sharp eyes like a hawk. In the night, everything seemed to be still, except for the occasional distant sound of cars and the rustling of leaves in the wind. He knew that Xiaoba would appear because the other party had reached the point where he had to take action.

Sure enough, half an hour later, a dark figure quietly approached Wang Xinxin's car parked on the street. After looking around to make sure no one noticed him, Xiaoba smiled slyly and took out a knife with a cold light from his pocket.

Just before Xiao Ba raised the knife and was about to swing it towards the side of the wheel, Lin Ke rushed out like a tiger descending from a mountain and grabbed Xiao Ba's arm. "What do you want to do? Be honest!"

"Why are you here?" Xiaoba looked panicked, his body trembling involuntarily.

"Oh? Are you still pretending to be stupid?" Lin Ke said in a cold tone, "You think I can't see through your thoughts? Tell you, if you want to deal with our Wang Xinxin, ask me first if I agree!"
