Chapter 124 The Photos

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The house next door was filled with smoke. If the house where Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng stayed was a warm cozy home, it was like an disorderly motel here.

Equipment was scattered on the floor in the living room, and Director Guan sat on the sofa in depression. Associate Director said after making a few calls, “We found him.”

Director Guan said coldly, “What’s the use of finding him? How about the photos?”

Associate Director sent the information to Guan Kai’s mobile phone and said, “It’s just an ordinary paparazzo. The problem can be solved with money.”

“Is this our fault? Did we have an affair or take drugs? Why do we need to spend money on that?” Guan Kai said ferociously, “I’ll sue him!”

Associate Director was lost for words.

Someone handed a glass of water and said, “Director Guan, please calm down.”

Guan Kai took a deep breath and steadied his breathing.

Wei Chang Feng and Qi Le An came at this tense moment. They were startled by Guan Kai’s anger. Finally, Wei Chang Feng said, “Director Guan, it’s easy to solve the problem.”

Guan Kai respected Wei Chang Feng, so he didn’t retort like what he did with Associate Director.

Wei Chang Feng appeared with sensibility, and everyone looked at him. Wei Chang Feng asked Associate Director softly, “Have you confirmed who it is?”

Associate Director nodded and held his phone in his hands for Wei Chang Feng to read the information.

Wei Chang Feng looked at it and said, “Let me check if this media has any cooperation with our company.”

Associate Director’s eyes lit up.

Most of the crew of Blue was not from the mainland. Director Guan and Associate Director came from Hong Kong and the scriptwriter was from Taiwan, while only the producer was from Beijing. Guan Kai brought his crew with him, and the rest of them were recruited by the producer.

Although directors of Hong Kong had preferential treatment in the mainland, the theme of Blue was sensitive and the preferential treatment was extremely uncertain. Apart from the producer, no one had any power or connections in City B. It was fortunate that Wei Chang Feng stood up at this critical time.

Besides, Wei Chang Feng’s company was Hua Yu, and he was favored by Mr. Sheng. He would definitely solve the problem.

Even Guan Kai cooled down at Wei Chang Feng’s words.

“I just didn’t expect someone to do such a thing! How could somebody do it in such times?This is unbelievable!” Director Guan said angrily.

Wei Chang Feng had asked Gary to investigate the identity of the figurant in advance, so he took his time, saying with a smile, “I remember the year before last when I just came back from abroad, someone hid in my hotel room. I was scared out of my wits.”

Director Guan said in shock, “Someone hid in the room?”

Wei Chang Feng nodded and said, “I was exhausted from filming that day. After I came back, I took a shower and lay down on the bed. Later, I felt that something was wrong and called the security guards, who got someone out of the bed.”

Qi Le An vaguely remembered that he had read this entertainment report in his previous life, and he couldn’t help laughing.

“Was it a reporter? This is immoral! “Director Guan said angrily.

Wei Chang Feng shook his head and smiled. “It was a fanatical fan who apologized later.”

Everyone sighed.

The director’s mood got lifted up a lot with Wei Chang Feng’s consolation. Associate Director gave Wei Chang Feng a grateful look, and Wei Chang Feng shook his head with a smile.

“Director Guan, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Why don’t we eat first?” Wei Chang Feng suggested.

Guan Kai was angry for a long time, and he felt hungry. He stood up from the sofa and said, “Come on. Let’s have lunch.”

People on the side hurriedly said, “It was bought long ago. You don’t have to go out!”

Everyone immediately tidied up the small coffee table in the living room. More than ten people crowded around the table and ate takeout.

Qi Le An thought that although Wei Chang Feng said he came to laugh at Director Guan, he was actually consoling him kindly.

As he thought about it, he found that there were suddenly a few vegetables in his lunch box. Wei Chang Feng said in his ears, “Eat more vegetables.”

Qi Le An nodded docilely and ate the vegetables that Wei Chang Feng gave him.

Director Guan happened to see them. ‘How romantic! Do I feel lonely because I’ve been alone for too long?’

After lunch, Wei Chang Feng and Associate Director received the reply at the same time. Associate Director said, “He says we can buy the photos…”

Director Guan gritted his teeth, wishing to punch that man.

Wei Chang Feng lowered his head to read the text and then looked up, saying, “He’s from a studio under the media company. It’s not popular. I suggest that we ignore him first. After all, in that situation… maybe he didn’t get anything.”

“That’s right!” Associate Director said, “The photos he took might be blurred.”

Director Guan lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment, sighing, “Our crew’s security work shouldn’t be bad… Forget it. We will not give in to the evil forces.”

Qi Le An suddenly felt that sometimes Director Guan was more childish than him.

The day’s filming had been delayed because of this accident. Director Guan went uptairs in depression after lunch. Associate Director walked Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng to the door and said apologetically, “This is Director Guan is. He hasn’t changed for more than ten years. His temper is too hot. Please understand.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled. “What are you talking about?”

Qi Le An was curious. “Have you known each other for a long time?”

The assistant director smiled and said, “We are high school classmates.”

Qi Le An was shocked. It was not easy for high school classmates to stay in contact and enter the same industry!

“What a coincidence,” Qi Le An said in disbelief.

Associate Director smiled with a sudden sad look. “It’s not a coincidence. We went to the same university… We have been working together after graduation. Forget it. Let’s not talk about this.”

The three of them walked to the gate of the house, and Associate Director, “I’ll leave you here. Have a good rest.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said, “See you tomorrow.”

Associate Director nodded and walked back.

Wei Chang Feng opened the door and the two of them entered the warm house. Qi Le An took off his down coat and hung it on the rack at the door, sighing, “Associate Director had known Director Guan for so many years, and they are close.”

Wei Chang Feng took off his coat and nodded. “It’s not easy to stay with each other for more than ten years.”

Qi Le An had an idea. “Do you think they are a couple?”

Director Guan didn’t ever hide that he was gay. If he remembered it right, he had publicly come out of the closet!

Wei Chang Feng couldn’t help laughing, “Why are you thinking about this kind of thing all the time? But it is possible.”

Qi Le An thought about Director Guan, who was impatient and hot-tempered, and felt he made a perfect match with the calm assistant director.

After they went upstairs and entered their room, Qi Le An lay lazily on the bed, while Wei Chang Feng sat on the bed reading something on his phone. As Wei Chang Feng did not like to spend time on his phone, Qi Le An couldn’t help crawling over to take a look.

Wei Chang Feng didn’t hide, showing Qi Le An without hesitation. Seeing Sheng Chang’an was chatting with Wei Chang Feng, Qi Le An pouted and lay back, pondering if there had been any bad news during the shooting of Blue in his previous life.

After a while, Wei Chang Feng finally put down his phone and patted Qi Le An’s butt, “What are you thinking about?”

Qi Le An rolled to the side and said casually, “Thinking about what happened in the last life.”

Amused, Wei Chang Feng crawled over and got on top of Qi Le An, “Last life?”

Qi Le An looked at Wei Chang Feng and smiled. “Yes. You might not believe it. I knew you in my last life!”

Wei Chang Feng simmered with laughter, “I believe it.”

Qi Le An was puzzled.

Wei Chang Feng said intimately, “Xiao An, you might not believe it. The first time I saw you, I felt like a deja vu.”

Qi Le An’s heart softened.

Wei Chang Feng kissed Qi Le An and then got up from bed to take a shower. As he walked to the bathroom, he said lightly, “Don’t worry about the photos. I left it to Sheng Ge. Even if the photos end up in the hands of Jiang Shan, they would not be seen in any news for a while.”

Qi Le An immediately asked, “Wei Sama, have you told Sheng Ge about Jiang Shan?”

Amused, Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An. “You guess.”

Qi Le An jumped out of bed and chased after Wei Chang Feng, “I can’t guess!”

Wei Chang Feng pretended to enter the bathroom. Qi Le An pounced on him, and the two of them went in and closed the bathroom door.

In a dark basement in City B.

It was a very small basement. Cold wind blew in through the window the size of a palm. A thin man pushed all the extra tables and chairs as well as the cot to the door and piled them up, as if he was scared that someone would break in any minute.

He was transmitting something on the computer with trembling hands and looking at the time nervously.

Suddenly he heard footsteps outside the door, and his eyebrows twitched twice as he looked at the door in horror.

Half a minute later, the footsteps faded away. The man let out a sigh of relief and looked at the computer screen again.

The uploading progress on the screen had reached 99%, but it was stuck and would not reach 100%.

His phone rang, and the man looked at it and picked up the call. He said anxiously, “I’m uploading it, and it will be transmitted soon.”

“The money that we have agreed…”

The caller said something, and the man gave a relieved smile.

The screen finally showed 100%. The man happily tapped the send button and said, “Half of it has been transmitted. After the money is paid, I’ll send you the rest.”

After half a minute, the caller said something, and the man suddenly flew into a rage. “What did you say? I took big risk in taking these photos. Apart from photos taken on the set, there are also quite a few photos of their daily life. The sex scene… that day the place was cleared, and it was impossible to take any photos.”

The man wanted to say something, but he got hung up.

The man stared at the computer screen angrily. Finally, he could not help cursing, “F*ck!”

He rubbed his head and flipped through his phone again. He found the phone number left by the crew and sent a short message, “I have some other photos. If you pay in half an hour, I’ll give you all these photos.”

However, he received no response at all.

As the man waited, he got more anxious. He looked at his phone and seemed to have made some decision. He quickly took out a bag and packed his belongs.

At this moment, the door that he blocked was suddenly kicked open!

The man looked at the door in horror. Several burly men moved the stuff away from the door. Looking at the familiar faces, the man panicked. “Mr. Huang, please give me some more time. I’ll get the money soon!”

But Mr. Huang’ didn’t even look at the man. Instead, he led the man behind him flatteringly, “Sir, this is the man you are looking for. If you need anything, please tell me, and we’ll do it for you.”

The man looked in horror at the person entering slowly.
