Chapter 467: 427 Ying Zhenting critically ill [12 more chapters] Chapter 467: 427 Ying Zhenting critically ill [12 more chapters] Tong Yufei’s hands trembled even more violently.

Of course, she knew about the movie “Eternal Knight.”

“Eternal Knight” was a superhero film produced and released by Era Media.

The first three installments had achieved great box office success.

Especially the third one, which had garnereds an impressive global box office haul.

Whether it was the leading role or an important supporting role, they all became overnight sensations.

That kind of fame referred to the international film circle.

Earlier this year, “Eternal Knight 4” was announced globally, and they had started casting worldwide.

Era Media, considering Hua Country’s box office, included a female protagonist from Hua Country in the fourth installment.

The role wasn’t particularly large, but it was very eye-catching.

After the plan was released, many actors wanted to participate in it.

Tong Yufei had also paid attention and knew that the audition would take place at the end of 2021.

But she quickly put it out of her mind because she never imagined she could get such a good film script.

Tong Yufei pursed her lips and looked at the contract again, hesitating whether to sign it.

Seeing her hesitation, the secretary added, “Miss Tong, rest assured, you are the victim here, the weaker party. Currently, Chuguang Media is unstable internally, and we have a plan prepared. Public opinion will lean towards your side.”

“Alright,” finally, Tong Yufei nodded. She gritted her teeth, “But I want not just this movie, I also want more international film festival resources. I will certainly help you achieve this.”

Chuguang Media had too many artists, and she was not the most outstanding one.

Her modest rise to fame was somewhat attributable to luck.

But such traffic wouldn’t last long, and acting was a career that capitalized on youth.

If she did not find the right projects or make a successful transition, she would be past her prime in a few years.

Tong Yufei couldn’t bear that thought.

Although her agent had always tried to secure more resources for her, what could compare to “Eternal Knight 4”?

“Miss Tong indeed understands the situation,” Luo Wenbin, who had been listening, smiled, “Please, Miss Tong, once Chuguang Media is absorbed by Tianyu, you will be one of the meritorious ones.”

Tong Yufei took the pen from the secretary and signed her name on the contract.

The secretary carefully put the contract away, nonchalantly asking, “Miss Tong, have you ever seen the new Executive Director of Chuguang Media?”

Tong Yufei tried hard to recall, “I haven’t seen his face properly; he’s a very thin middle-aged man.”

Given her status at Chuguang Media, she wasn’t someone who would be summoned by the Executive Director.

Luo Wenbin nodded.

This matched the results of their investigation.

As long as it was a man, things would be easy to handle.

“Alright, Miss Tong,” Luo Wenbin shook hands with Tong Yufei again, “Thank you for your trust; we will need your support in the upcoming matters.”

“My secretary will stay in touch with you.”

Tong Yufei nodded, put her mask back on, and left.

**

In the evening, at the Ye Family’s residence.

Water Moon Pavilion.

The banquet was already prepared, and Ying Zijin sat at a table with Ye Ling.

Patriarch Ye and Madam Ye sat in the main seats, and below them, the other descendants of the Ye Family.

“My lord, I think Miss Ying is lovely, and her upbringing is impeccable. I really like her,” Madam Ye couldn’t hold back anymore after restraining herself all day and spoke her mind with hopeful eyes, “Do you think she could become my daughter-in-law?”

The talents of the Eldest Young Master of the Ye Family were not inferior to the direct lineage descendants of the Lin Family.

When Patriarch Ye heard this, he was startled, his body trembling, and he covered Madam Ye’s mouth with his hand, “Are you trying to get us killed?”

Madam Ye was somewhat confused.

“Never utter such words again,” Patriarch Ye cautiously glanced around, making sure the girl hadn’t paid attention to their conversation, “Otherwise, our Ye Family will be finished.”

After hearing this, Madam Ye realized her mistake and lowered her voice, “Could it be that Miss Ying already has…”

Patriarch Ye just sighed, “In any case, just make sure you never talk about it; Miss Ying is beyond our reach. We should just attend to her properly and not entertain other thoughts.”

Madam Ye nodded and sighed deeply.

Patriarch Ye coughed a few times, seriously, “Please enjoy your meal, Miss Ying, treat this as a family banquet, and do not be polite.”

Ying Zijin nodded her head in acknowledgment.

Patriarch Ye picked up the wine vessel on the table, about to propose a toast.

A mocking voice came, “You still feel like drinking?”

Patriarch Ye frowned, looked over, and his expression darkened, “Ye Lang, what do you mean by that?”

“Uncle, I should be the one asking you what you mean,” Ye Lang strode in, pointing at Ying Zijin, “Why did you let her cripple my Inner Strength?”

With that statement, the Water Moon Pavilion fell into silence.

Ye Ling chuckled with disdain, “Ye Lang, what nonsense are you spouting?”

“Nonsense?” Ye Lang sneered. “Then tell me, why has my inner strength vanished?”

He had discovered it only after returning home.

He had meant to practice his cultivation technique to heal the injuries inside his body, but found he couldn’t muster any inner strength at all.

At first, he thought there was some problem with his cultivation technique, but later he went to the ancient medicine practitioner who resided with the Ye family.

The ancient medicine practitioner told him that his inner strength was gone.

At that time, only Ying Zijin had come into contact with him.

Who else could it be other than her?

“Shut your mouth!” the Ye family Patriarch immediately erupted in rage. “Your own inner strength is gone, and you blame Miss Ying? Taking advantage of the fact that Miss Ying is new here? She doesn’t even know what ancient martial arts are, yet she somehow dissipated your inner strength? You must be dreaming!”

Ying Zijin, holding her chopsticks, turned a deaf ear to the discussion and continued to eat her osmanthus cake unhurriedly.

“Ye Ling, you were there, you tell us.” Ye Lang’s gaze was cold and stern. “Is she just an ordinary person? Are there ordinary people like her?”

“Dad, originally I didn’t want to make a fuss about this, but since Ye Lang has mentioned it, I will, too.” Ye Ling got up, bowed, and then said, “Ye Lang attempted to shoot me with a spear, Miss Ying almost got hurt. As for the rest, I really have no idea.”

This incident was indeed in line with Ye Lang’s style.

Not to mention the Patriarch, even Ye Lang’s biological father, Second Uncle Ye, had no doubts.

Second Uncle Ye hurried to speak before the Patriarch could: “Ah Lang, stop talking nonsense! Get down there right now!”

“Dad!” Ye Lang’s face turned the color of iron. “I am speaking the truth!”

“How dare you slander?” the Patriarch slammed the table. “Someone take him, confine him in the ancestral temple, not to be let out for three months.”

The word of the Patriarch was absolute authority.

Immediately, guards stepped forward, took hold of Ye Lang, disregarding his struggles, and forcibly escorted him away.

“Ye Er, to not teach is the father’s fault,” the Patriarch then turned his cold gaze toward Second Uncle Ye. “You are also responsible for this matter. Hand over the tokens of the three Guard Squads.”

“And eight million US dollars, you have three days to compensate Miss Ying, using no ill means whatsoever.”

Second Uncle Ye opened his mouth: “Big brother…”

The Patriarch’s gaze grew even colder.

Under the watchful eyes of many Ye family members, Second Uncle Ye could only reluctantly hand over the three tokens.

His heart ached painfully.

Eight million US dollars, he would have to sell the medicinal materials he had collected over many years.

“Miss Ying, it’s a misfortune that this happened at our doorstep,” said the Patriarch with remorse. “We have wronged you.”

Ying Zijin replied indifferently, “It’s a trifle.”

The Patriarch had been good to her, and she had simply helped him out of a bind.

Plus, she got to fight a bit, which was rather enjoyable.

Of course, the Patriarch was also quite smart, knowing how to deal swiftly with an enemy.

After the banquet, Yun Shan escorted Ying Zijin back to her bedroom.

He pondered for a long time before speaking up: “Miss Ying, I can’t help but feel… it seemed intentional on your part?”

Otherwise, why would she go to the training field for no reason at all?

The ancient martial artists training there were no match for him; he could crush them with a single finger. There was nothing impressive to see.

Hearing this, Ying Zijin turned her head, sized him up and down, and commented: “You have hair and brains, quite rare.”

Yun Shan: “???”

The next day.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Zhong Manhua was packing her luggage.

After the college entrance examination, she had estimated the scores with Ying Yuexuan.

The scores were roughly around 720.

This year’s math and science comprehensive tests in the college entrance examination were difficult, and Ying Yuexuan was able to score so high, securing the top scholar spot was a certainty.

Zhong Manhua was pleased, having booked the flight tickets and hotel, planning to take Ying Yuexuan on a trip abroad.

But Ying Yuexuan declined, saying she just wanted to travel within the country.

Thus, Zhong Manhua changed the itinerary.

She could already anticipate the immense honor a national top scholar would bring to her.

All the mockery she had previously suffered would be wiped away.

Right at this moment, the landline rang; it was an unfamiliar number, and the ring was insistent.

Zhong Manhua frowned but still answered, “Hello?”

“Madam Ying, is that you?” On the other end of the phone, a nurse from the First Hospital spoke, “Mr. Ying fainted at work and is currently being resuscitated in the emergency room. Please come over as soon as possible.”

“Clang—”
