The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 16: Qin Zhao, save my life! I’ll give you ten million!

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Qin Zhao, save my life! I’ll give you ten million!

Qin Zhao had been filming advertisements recently, resources introduced by Guanghua Entertainment. But because her popularity wasn’t high enough, the advertising fees weren’t substantial.

After completing seven or eight, she had only earned over six million.

"This money is still easier earned by exorcising demons."

During her spare time while playing on her phone, Qin Zhao suddenly discovered that Xie Han had been added to the blacklist.

She hadn’t blacklisted him. Who the hell did this?

The image of Chu Yan’s cool and noble handsome face popped into her mind, and Qin Zhao snorted coldly, removing Xie Han from the blacklist. He was a walking money bag; she couldn’t afford to blacklist him.

Just as she had removed Xie Han from the blacklist, Qin Zhao received a call from him.

"Qin Zhao! Save me!"

Then the line went dead.

After Xie Han cried out for help, someone hung up the phone.

"Do you still dare to call?"

The girl’s beautiful face seemed somewhat distorted.

With a bang.

She smashed Xie Han’s phone to the ground, while in her other hand, she held a bloody fruit knife.

"Explain yourself, what were you doing at the bar last night? Didn’t you say you only loved me? Why did you go looking for someone else, why did you spend time with others!"

This girl, named Zhong Rujin, was a minor actress introduced by Shang Youwen.

She appeared innocent and cute, with a soft and endearing persona. However, after Xie Han got to know her, he realized that wasn’t the case at all. Zhong Rujin had a mental illness and would attack and hit people without reason.

After they had done the deed and fallen asleep, if Zhong Rujin woke up first and suddenly went into a rage, she would beat Xie Han in his sleep.

There were several bruises on Xie Han’s face, which were inflicted by Zhong Rujin while he was asleep.

After beating him, Zhong Rujin would break into tears and apologize, sobbing that she couldn’t control herself, that she didn’t want to hurt him, even kneeling to beg for his forgiveness.

Seeing her tear-stained face, Xie Han couldn’t help but soften his heart and initially forgave her.

Two weeks into their relationship, Xie Han had woken to her beating him several times and finally couldn’t bear it and tried to break up with her.

As soon as he mentioned breaking up, Zhong Rujin locked the door from the inside and took out a fruit knife.

The bloodstains on the fruit knife were Xie Han’s blood from where Zhong Rujin had slashed his arm.

Swallowing nervously, he said, "I didn’t go to the bar yesterday, nor was I planning to be with someone else. I was only joking when I said we should break up earlier."

"You said you would only like me in this lifetime."

Zhong Rujin stared at him intently, her lips curling into a sinister smile.

She gripped the fruit knife tightly, taking a few steps forward. "If I chop off your hands, you won’t be able to embrace other women."

"You’re crazy!"

Xie Han’s expression twisted with frustration. He had said he only liked her to many people before!

He shoved her aside and ran toward the door.

Picking up his phone from the ground, although the screen was shattered, it was still functional.

His hands trembling, he quickly sent Qin Zhao his location.

Xie Han reached the door, but it was locked from the inside and wouldn’t budge.

"Qin Zhao, save me! Come quickly!"

"I’ll give you five million, no, ten million! Money is no object!"

He shivered as he sent a barrage of voice messages, hearing the tapping of footsteps behind him.

Zhong Rujin, holding the fruit knife, approached. "I knew you wanted to find someone else, to send voice messages to another woman right in front of me. Mr. Shang is right, you are unfaithful."

She planned to chop off Xie Han’s hands and feet so he wouldn’t run around anymore or flirt with other women.

Xie Han turned to meet Zhong Rujin’s excited eyes, his face turning pale, and his legs weakened.

"Don’t come closer!"

Zhong Rujin consoled him softly, "It’ll be over quickly, and then I’ll find you the best doctor. My little brother used to be disobedient and always caused trouble, so I chopped off his arms and legs and put them in a jar.

Then he stopped making noise, didn’t cause a fuss, and I felt much more relieved."

Xie Han’s eyes widened with horror, "You, you maniac! Murder is illegal!"

"No, it’s not illegal. You just have to stay in the hospital for a few days and you’ll be fine."

Shang Youwen had found Zhong Rujin in a mental hospital, where she had been undergoing treatment for a while and was much saner, developing a fondness for watching TV dramas starring Xie Han.

Shang Youwen asked her if she wanted to have this man to herself?

Zhong Rujin nodded, excitement in her eyes.

Just a few days later, Shang Youwen set up a meeting with Xie Han, delivering her right to him.

"Ah! Get away from me!"

Zhong Rujin pounced, the fruit knife in her hand almost stabbing into Xie Han’s shoulder.

He fought back fiercely, thankfully skilled in martial arts, and swiftly kicked Zhong Rujin away.

The fruit knife fell to the ground, and Xie Han quickly picked it up.

"Open the door, or else," Xie Han’s gaze turned vicious, "I’ll kill you!"

Zhong Rujin laughed hysterically, not scared in the least.

"Do you dare to kill someone?"

Xie Han was a man who had learned martial arts, but he had never killed before and couldn’t compare to a psychopath like Zhong Rujin. Although he was holding the knife, his forehead was drenched in sweat.

Zhong Rujin’s words sent a chill down his spine.

Click, a faint sound came from the doorway.

Qin Zhao had arrived, breaking the lock with a spell.

But the moment she entered the door, Zhong Rujin had already jumped through the window and fled.

Seeing Qin Zhao, the knife slipped from Xie Han’s grasp, and he collapsed to the floor, pale as a ghost.

"I’ve always told you to keep your nose clean."

His cold voice echoed, and Xie Han remembered the divination she had done for him.

"I’m calling the police now."

Xie Han dialed the emergency number, and the police arrived quickly.

But they only asked a few questions and took some photos of the scene before leaving.

"You need to go after her!"

Xie Han urged them as they left, fearing that Zhong Rujin might come back for him.

"We know."

The officer’s response was dismissive, and the police car drove away with sirens blaring.

Qin Zhao stood with her arms folded, speaking casually, "They won’t catch her."

"What do you mean?"

"How much did you say you were going to pay me?"

Xie Han looked at her strangely, no longer willing to part with his money, "At a time like this, you’re still talking about money?"

"What else do you think brought me here? What could I possibly want from you besides money? Your loose morals? Your mere four-pack abs?"

Xie Han was drenched in sweat, his wet clothes revealing his abs.

For most people, his physique was quite good, but Qin Zhao preferred someone with eight-pack abs.

"Xie Han, dark clouds hover over your Life Palace; this is a sign of impending death. The one who will harm you will use abnormal methods, only I can save you."

Qin Zhao’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Also, Shang Youwen’s favors aren’t so easy to accept."

After that banquet, Shang Youwen’s secretary had contacted Qin Zhao to schedule a meeting, which she had declined.

Zhong Rujin was someone Shang Youwen had introduced her to.

Xie Han was not a fool. After pondering for a moment, he sensed something was amiss, "You mentioned last time that there was a problem with Old Zou’s family members, was it this Shang Youwen?"

"Not so dim-witted after all."

"Old Zou and Madam Zou have been devoted to each other for a lifetime. If Madam Zou were to pass away, he would surely die of grief not long after. This son-in-law who married into the family, Shang Youwen, must be plotting for their wealth and their lives!

And now, we saved Madam Zou, blocking his way to wealth! He will certainly try to get rid of both of us!"
