Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Brother Ah Zheng, My Boyfriend!

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing these words, everyone gasped in astonishment, their eyes revealing a look of fear. They could sense that Xiao Zheng was extremely serious when he spoke, and it didn’t seem like he was joking at all.

"You... don’t talk nonsense. You think by acting like a little thug and threatening us, we would be scared? Humph, we are all adults, not children anymore, stop playing these silly games!" the director said angrily.

"Call the police, call the police, arrest her! Arrest her." Tao Linxin was at a distance, lying on the ground, crying and shouting hysterically.

Upon hearing this shout, everyone shuddered in their hearts. Damn it, miss, don’t you understand the situation yet? This boyfriend of Chu Xiaoran’s is no ordinary man! Angering him would lead to no good end.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng with some fear.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng faintly smiled, looked around, then walked towards a large tree that could be embraced by one person, steadied his stance, his eyes gleaming fiercely, and suddenly punched the giant tree.

Boom!

The towering tree swayed for a moment, then split in the middle and collapsed, branches and leaves rustling loudly.

The ground even shook slightly.

In an instant, the place fell silent.

Everyone present rubbed their eyes in disbelief and horror.

What had just happened before their eyes was not CGI; it was a real display of strength, where a man with one punch had broken a towering tree.

Everyone on the set was just a normal person, never having seen a martial arts master, and at that moment, they were all stunned.

Fear surged in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Zheng.

Tao Linxin was outright petrified and stood beside, speech forgotten.

"Tell me, what would be the consequence if this punch were to hit a person?" Xiao Zheng turned around, scanned the crowd with a faint smile.

The crowd shuddered instantly.

Damn it, if that punch hit a person, wouldn’t it instantly turn them into a pile of pulp?

At this point, they also became fully aware that Xiao Zheng was no ordinary person and, perhaps, they were far from his match.

Only Tao Linxin, after being dazed for a moment, began to scream again, "Even if you are a martial arts master, so what? Is being a martial arts master such a big deal? Once we call the police, they will arrest you just the same!"

Xiao Zheng glanced at Tao Linxin coolly.

Tao Linxin immediately felt her body stiffen as if she were being targeted by a ferocious beast; the words she was about to say were immediately swallowed back.

"Say that again, and I wouldn’t mind slaughtering you," Xiao Zheng said coolly.

Everyone was silent.

Tao Linxin, too, fearfully lowered her head, daring not to say another word.

Xiao Zheng walked over to Chu Xiaoran, took her hand softly, and said, "You must be tired from filming so long today. Let’s not shoot anymore; let’s go rest for a bit."

"Mmm."

Chu Xiaoran obediently nodded.

Xiao Zheng then left the area, pulling Chu Xiaoran along.

After Xiao Zheng walked away, the film set finally returned to its previous state, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, I didn’t expect Chu Xiaoran to have such a terrifying boyfriend," a crew member said, looking at the fallen tree with lingering fear.

"Yeah, it’s good I didn’t offend Chu Xiaoran before, otherwise if she retaliated, wouldn’t I be finished?"

Another crew member nodded continuously like a pecking chicken.

The director and Tao Linxin both looked embarrassed. Finally, seeing that no one was reacting, Tao Linxin shouted in a high-pitched voice, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and take me to the hospital!"

The crew members grumbled internally: "Damn, do you think we are your servants? Humph, a mistress, showing off in front of us, you’re just a bitch!"

Although they thought this, the crew members dared not defy Tao Linxin’s wishes, fearing she could have them fired at any moment.

At that moment, they clumsily lifted Tao Linxin and took her to the hospital. The film obviously couldn’t be shot, and the director, with a very ugly expression, announced that they would take a break for the day.

By this time, Xiao Zheng had already taken Chu Xiaoran to a café. After sitting down and ordering coffees, Xiao Zheng looked at Chu Xiaoran’s face, which still bore tear stains, after all, she had just been publicly scolded by the director and targeted by Tao Linxin.

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Xiao Ran, this crew is not a good place, you should stop acting and just quit this company."

Xiao Zheng had previously urged Chu Xiaoran to persevere and work hard on her own, but now he thought differently. Judging from today’s situation on the set, although Chu Xiaoran’s agency was very powerful, it was not a good company and had become bureaucratic.

Staying here might not lead to any development.

"No, I want to stay and finish this film," Chu Xiaoran firmly shook her head.

"Oh?"

A surprised look appeared on Xiao Zheng’s face.

"No matter what you do, you have to go through setbacks. I’m not planning to rely on my family background, so I’m bound to face these challenges. If I don’t even have the determination to endure hardships, how can I become the great actress I dream of being?" Chu Xiaoran said.

"I didn’t expect that," Xiao Zheng laughed and patted Chu Xiaoran’s head, saying, "You little girl, you can even speak such profound truths."

Chu Xiaoran stuck out her tongue and said, "Isn’t this what you taught me? I didn’t understand before, but now I’m beginning to comprehend it more deeply."

As she spoke, Chu Xiaoran’s eyes lit up, "I believe that I can definitely achieve my dream!"

Xiao Zheng nodded in admiration and said, "Very good, having such aspiration, even if you face setbacks in the short term, you will eventually have your day of glory."

"Ah Zheng, I’ve rested for a while now, I should go," Chu Xiaoran looked outside and then said, "I still have to go shoot."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and asked, "Are you going now?"

Just now, Xiao Zheng had caused a scene on the set and beaten up Tao Linxin, and the crew was probably extremely angry with Chu Xiaoran.

"Hehe."

Yet, Chu Xiaoran smiled and said, "They wouldn’t dare to do that. I believe any rational person, knowing that my ’boyfriend’ is such a formidable master, wouldn’t do anything excessive."

When she said "boyfriend," Chu Xiaoran’s cheeks flushed.

This was a misunderstanding from earlier at the set when the crew mistook Xiao Zheng and Chu Xiaoran’s relationship and shouted it out.

"Hahaha, true," Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.

Xiao Zheng had broken a towering ancient tree with one punch earlier, which must have intimidated the director.

As long as the director was sane, he surely wouldn’t target Chu Xiaoran again. If he continued to do so, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t mind making another trip to the set to teach him how to behave.
