Chapter 621 - 621: If You're Going to Do It, Do It Ruthlessly

Jiang Xinghai yanked Lin Yue behind him.

"Nobody move! It's dangerous!"

Jiang Xinghai's cry of warning pierced everyone's ears, freezing them all in place.

After all, among everyone present, only Jiang Xinghai and the man in the black mask were Martial Arts practitioners.

The rest were just ordinary people, so naturally, they couldn't withstand the shout of a martial artist.

This was especially true for an expert like Jiang Xinghai, who had just stepped into the Guiyuan Realm. The difference was like night and day.

"You can all turn around now! He has something dangerous in his hand!"

Jiang Xinghai pointed, and the face of the black-masked man holding a brownish-yellow glass bottle changed drastically.

The crowd's eyes all turned to the black-masked man. When they saw the brownish-yellow glass bottle in his hand, they instantly realized what was happening.

But right in front of everyone, the black-masked man tried to hide it, even tried to slip away, but found he couldn't move his legs!

His first instinct told him that Jiang Xinghai's power was far greater than his own.

'I'm screwed!'

He struggled to move his legs, but they wouldn't budge an inch.

'What a joke!'

'An ordinary person like you wants to escape from Jiang Xinghai?'

"Call the police!"

"Quick, protect Miss Lin Yue!"

While trying to stay safe, many of the reporters started taking pictures, intending to expose the man in the black mask.

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Xinghai sent a formless current of air that ripped the mask from the man's face.

Instantly, his face was revealed to the crowd.

"He... he looks so familiar!"

"Wait, have I seen him with Xiao Xinxin before? Am I mistaken?"

"You're not mistaken. I recognize him too. I think he's one of Xiao Xinxin's people!"

Someone had recognized the man.

"Yes, I recognize him too! I think he really is one of Xiao Xinxin's people!"

Soon, everyone began to chime in.

"Xiao Xinxin is such a two-faced bitch! She can't compete with Miss Lin Yue, so she resorts to a disfigurement attempt? Is there no law and order?!"

"Expose him! Make Xiao Xinxin get the hell out of show business!"

More and more people started shouting accusations, but no one dared to step forward.

After all, the glass bottle in the man's hand was very dangerous.

Just then, Jiang Xinghai reached out and used Void Capturing Object, snatching the brownish-yellow glass bottle from the man's hand.

The crowd was instantly stunned.

"A martial artist!"

"That's great! Miss Lin Yue's bodyguard is a martial artist too!"

"We're safe now!"

Seeing Jiang Xinghai snatch the glass bottle from the man's hand out of thin air with just a flick of his wrist, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As it turned out, Xiao Xinxin was also one of the "Four Little Dan Actresses" of her generation.

In fact, her career had started even earlier than Lin Yue's.

But now, her standing in film, television, and music was nowhere near as successful as Lin Yue's.

Therefore, once the crowd recognized the man, their minds immediately jumped to the one pulling the strings—Xiao Xinxin.

"Lin Yue, what do you want to do?"

As the crowd continued to point and mutter about the man, Jiang Xinghai murmured to Lin Yue, whose expression was complex.

To be honest, when Lin Yue realized the bottle in the man's hand contained a corrosive liquid, the sudden turn of events had left her pale with shock.

She looked at the bottle of corrosive liquid in Jiang Xinghai's hand, her heart filled with a mix of lingering fear and gratitude.

Just then, airport security, having heard the commotion, rushed over. They quickly subdued the man and took him away for questioning.

Shielding Lin Yue, Jiang Xinghai followed along with the security personnel.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Xinghai turned to Lin Yue, his voice full of concern.

Lin Yue shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Xinghai. If it wasn't for you, I might have…"

"Don't dwell on it. We're safe now."

Jiang Xinghai comforted her, gently patting her shoulder. "That said, I don't know this Xiao Xinxin, but this incident is enough to prove she's petty and full of malice. We can't just let this go, or she'll really think you're a pushover."

"I never thought she could be so despicable."

Lin Yue thought of Xiao Xinxin, her expression growing complex. "Well, now, even if I don't do anything to get back at her, the fallout from this will end up destroying her anyway."

"You mean the reporters exposing this," Jiang Xinghai said with a nod.

Lin Yue nodded. "Exactly. I doubt she ever expected things to escalate this far."

"My guess is, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Jiang Xinghai let out a cold smile. "Otherwise, she would have at least sent someone unfamiliar."

"That's true. That man has always been on Xiao Xinxin's staff. This was just too blatant." Lin Yue sighed, her expression turning colder. "Could it be... she's in Shanghai too?"

"That could very well be the case."

Jiang Xinghai gave a sly smile. "As the saying goes, it's rude not to reciprocate. Shouldn't we do something to return the favor?"

"If we did that, wouldn't we be just as despicable?" Lin Yue shook her head with a wry smile.

"Why don't we just do something ruthless and be done with it."

Jiang Xinghai gave Lin Yue a meaningful look and proposed, "Don't worry, we won't stoop to her level of revenge. We'll just use some... special channels to get her blacklisted and make her leave the entertainment industry for good."

"You have a way to do that?" Lin Yue thought it was an excellent suggestion.

"Pulling a few strings shouldn't be too hard." After all, Jiang Xinghai was a four-star powerhouse.

This was something Lin Yue didn't know.

All Jiang Xinghai had to do was use his status to contact Tang Zhen in the Imperial City; blacklisting a minor celebrity would be a simple matter.

"Let's go to the hotel and rest first. Let me think about this." Although Lin Yue agreed with Jiang Xinghai's proposal, she had no idea what kind of connections the man before her actually had.

Afterwards, the two of them followed the security personnel to an office.

Two police officers had already arrived and, under interrogation, finally got an answer out of the man.

The person behind it all was, indeed, Xiao Xinxin!

"Miss Lin, we advise you to press charges against Xiao Xinxin. We will uphold the law and follow procedure to bring her in," the officer explained.

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Your efficiency is remarkable, thank you. But let's just drop the matter. I think this must all be a misunderstanding."

To the astonishment of both the police officer and the masked man, Lin Yue grabbed Jiang Xinghai and quickly left, heading straight for the parking garage to get their car.

"So, I take it you've agreed to my suggestion?" Jiang Xinghai smiled.

Lin Yue nodded. "That's right. I agree with your suggestion to have her completely blacklisted. That's why we don't need to trouble the police with arresting her."

"Let's go, then. To the hotel for a good night's sleep."

Jiang Xinghai took the driver's seat and drove Lin Yue straight to the hotel where his parents were staying.

However, it was already late at night.

When they arrived, they didn't greet Jiang Wendong and Ji Qingya.

"Oh, right. You were going to teach me the Art of Taming Men on Yao Gu's behalf. Why not start tonight?"

Lin Yue's eyes twinkled. She nudged Jiang Xinghai in the ribs with her elbow and flashed a captivating smile.
