In Gubei Town, there is a large State-run Welfare Institute that specializes in taking in orphans from nearby towns.
Chen Xiaozhao grew up as an orphan in the Gubei Welfare Institute.
Li Zhenian, who was responsible for the town's publicity work, was previously the deputy director of the welfare institute.
He has watched Chen Xiaozhao and the other children grow up and is very familiar with this kid.
During his teenage years, this kid often got into fights and caused trouble in town, but after reaching adulthood, Chen Xiaozhao settled down and stopped causing disturbances.
At the age of 22, Chen Xiaozhao and his best friend Jindeli opened a food stall in the Gubei Film and Television City, specializing in Braised Meat Sandwiches.
For the next three years, Chen Xiaozhao focused on running the shop and did not get into any major trouble.
However, unexpectedly!
Today he has caused a huge scandal in town!
He actually hid in the water to spy on Rong Liya while she was bathing!
And he even attempted to take a female actress hostage with a knife!
Does he have no regard for the law?
Is there no sense of legality?
He is about to ruin Gubei Town's reputation!
Li Zhenian was so furious with Chen Xiaozhao that he felt like his blood vessels were about to burst!
"Director Li, I'm injured."
Faced with Li Zhenian's scolding, Chen Xiaozhao wore a pained expression.
He swiftly sheathed his knife behind him and placed his left hand on his left hip.
His hand pressed against the back of his work pants, which had several large tears.
It was unclear what had bitten him, but there were several severe wounds on the left side of his buttocks.
Black, foul-smelling goo was oozing from the wounds, which had already turned a deep purple from decay, and the blood seeping out was black.
Chen Xiaozhao was sweating profusely from the pain, looking somewhat weak.
Rong Liya took the opportunity to roll away from Chen Xiaozhao.
Rong Liya's personal assistant and bodyguard, Rong Zhe, who was also her older brother, was a man with a fiery temper.
Seeing his sister in such distress, Rong Zhe could hardly contain himself.
Noticing that Chen Xiaozhao had sheathed his knife and that Rong Liya had moved away, Rong Zhe rushed forward in a fit of rage. Without saying a word, he launched a flying kick aimed at Chen Xiaozhao's stomach, clearly intending to incapacitate him.
Chen Xiaozhao felt a surge of panic and urgency. Seeing someone even more agitated than himself, he snapped back angrily, "What the hell are you doing?!"
He boldly stepped forward, sidestepping Rong Zhe's kick with a misstep. At the same time, he raised his right elbow and used his forward momentum to deliver a light but forceful jab to Rong Zhe's chest.
"Bang!"
It was as if struck by a massive hammer; even at over six feet tall, Rong Zhe was sent flying backward!
The impact jolted Rong Zhe's insides, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
In mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground, collapsing like a deflated balloon, unconscious. His sternum likely suffered fractures.
A few Martial Artists who had intended to back up Rong Zhe in defending Rong Liya were stunned when they saw Chen Xiaozhao take him down with a single elbow strike.
They were dumbfounded.
After all, Rong Zhe was a former special police officer! His skills were quite formidable!
Yet he was knocked out by a single elbow from this person.
Was he some kind of monster?
How could he be so powerful!
Seeing her brother bleeding, Rong Liya rushed over in tears, angrily cursing Chen Xiaozhao as a thug and scum!
The scene instantly erupted into chaos.
Director Zhang Lei could no longer contain himself; his hair stood on end in fury, truly enraged!
"What on earth is this person doing? Is there no one to manage this?"
Li Zhenian felt as if pricked by needles, drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly explained, "Director Zhang, please don't be angry. This kid sells Roujiamo in our town."
What!
Who sells Roujiamo?
What kind of place is Gubei Town anyway?
A place that sells Roujiamo is surprisingly wild!
They say the people in the northwest are tough, but this is taking it too far!
"What the hell are you doing here!"
Li Zhenian was about to explode with anger, glaring fiercely at Chen Xiaozhao.
Chen Xiaozhao scratched his head and said, "I'm... catching turtles?"
"Catching what? Hurry up and get lost! Don't disturb Director Zhang and the others while they're filming!"
"I'm leaving if I'm leaving. Why are you so anxious? You're getting old and forgetful, don't you remember you have high blood pressure? Always getting mad like this, your brain is really getting worse. Are you going to end up with dementia?"
Chen Xiaozhao was extremely displeased by Li Zhenian's scolding and kept grumbling.
Li Zhenian was so angry he was grinding his teeth and stomping his feet.
He really hated being alive.
If he were dead, Chen Xiaozhao would definitely have driven him to his grave!
He glanced at the polluted hot spring, a flicker of luck for surviving a disaster flashing in his eyes.
Chen Xiaozhao spat angrily into the hot spring and said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, there are toxic turtles in this hot spring. If you don't want to get rotten flesh disease, stay away from it. This place is no good for filming; you should find another location."
"You say you can change it just like that? Do you have any idea how much time, manpower, and resources we spent setting up this scene? Do you know how much loss you've caused the crew today?"
"Director Zhang, please calm down. Don't argue with this kid."
"Am I arguing with him? Look at this water; it's completely black! What on earth did he do? We can't shoot this scene today!—Bang!"
In a fit of rage, Director Zhang slammed the table.
The crew members were all startled.
They had never seen the usually mild-mannered Director Zhang so furious.
Rong Liya cried out angrily, "Call the police! Arrest this pervert!"
"Who’s the pervert? Is your red lipstick meant to slander me? I was trying to save you!… Ouch!"
In his agitation, Chen Xiaozhao felt a sharp pain from his wound and gasped.
"Get out of here right now!"
Li Zhenian tried to mediate.
"He can't leave!"
Rong Liya screamed frantically.
"Why can't I leave? I'm going, and let's see who dares to stop me!"
Clang!
Chen Xiaozhao revealed the sharp Curved Blade again, causing everyone around to take a step back in fear.
Before leaving, Chen Xiaozhao glanced at Rong Liya and advised her, "I suggest you hurry back to the hotel and take a shower. You've got a lot of black water on you; be careful not to get rotten flesh disease."
"You’re the one who will get rotten flesh disease! You’re just a rotten person! A big rotten person! I won’t let you off!"
Rong Liya's eyes were filled with fury, and her little tiger teeth seemed ready to bite through anything.
Many people on the scene clenched their fists, wishing they could turn Chen Xiaozhao into minced meat.
This was not a place to linger.
Chen Xiaozhao limped away while throwing out threats: "Whether you let me go or not is irrelevant; I'm waiting for you. But don’t blame me for not warning you first. If any of you dare to cause trouble for Director Li, I’ll make sure you regret it! My intermittent mental illness can scare even myself!"
Li Zhenian felt a mix of anger and an inexplicable warmth upon hearing Chen Xiaozhao say this.
The crew members, upon hearing that Chen Xiaozhao had intermittent mental illness, were infuriated, their teeth grinding in frustration.
Yet, they had no way to deal with him and could only watch resentfully as this disaster left the set.
