499: Chapter 499: Unable to Help!

A Life-or-Death Crisis!

Time was ticking away, second by second!

Wu Jie waited a while before he started making calls to look for someone.

However…

He really didn’t know anyone in the entertainment industry.

So, Wu Jie ended up calling Tang Xiao, who was shopping.

He first inquired about her shopping spree, how much Tang Xin’s gang of rabbits had swindled her out of, and what she had bought for their parents.

Then Wu Jie brought up the issue with the wedding car and only after that did he casually mention Bai Fengling’s situation.

But he didn’t outright say he wouldn’t help; instead, he indicated he was powerless to assist.

“…So that’s the situation, I’m out of options anyway.

She expects me to sort it out?

I can’t sort out a thing!”

Tang Xiao chuckled, “Tsk tsk!

A big star really is something else, huh!

To think you could get stalked by paparazzi just for attending a car show, but in my opinion, she could resolve this herself!”

Wu Jie laughed, “You know how it is, she’s just reluctant to spend the money!

If we step in and fix things, wouldn’t that save her a hefty amount?”

Tang Xiao snorted with laughter, “Then why go to all that trouble and effort to sort it out for her?”

“You’re asking me, but I’m just as clueless!

Since she’s too stingy to spend, she’ll just have to wait until things blow up and then clarify and explain, I guess!”

Wu Jie said with a laugh, “That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I have a feeling this is going to blow up big, so I wanted to give you a heads-up to avoid any misunderstandings!!”

Tang Xiao chuckled,

“What do you take me for?

Some petty, brainless woman?”

“In broad daylight, what could possibly happen between you two in a car?

And besides, Bai Fengling is no Chu Yunxuan!”

“If she’s talking to you about cars and test driving, it must be genuine.

If it were Chu Yunxuan, I definitely wouldn’t believe it!”

Wu Jie broke out in a nervous sweat, “Come on!

Why bring her up again?

Are you still jealous about this morning’s incident?”

Tang Xiao huffed, “Jealous?

I’m just speaking to the facts.

Bai Fengling wants to use you, whereas Chu Yunxuan truly wants to devour you!”

…

Unbeknownst to them, they had started to chat away on the phone.

Meanwhile, Bai Fengling in the Maserati, seeing the cars driving into the garage and the ten-minute deadline up,

had not yet received a message back from Wu Jie, which left her as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

When the paparazzo called, Bai Fengling didn’t pick up; she quickly hung up and then called Wu Jie in haste.

But alas…

“Sorry!

The subscriber you dialed is in a call, please try again later…”

After hanging up, Bai Fengling comforted herself internally.

Mr.

Wu must be finding someone to fix the situation, can’t panic, can’t fall into disarray!

At that moment, the paparazzo called again.

Bai Fengling hesitated before answering immediately.

“Miss Bai, have you made up your mind?

I’m not asking for much, just five hundred thousand will do,”

“You easily earn tens of millions from a single film, not to mention the countless money from advertisements and endorsements.”

“A mere five hundred thousand is nothing to you—it wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket.

Why the hesitation?”

The paparazzo’s tone was mockingly abusive and threatening, which only added to Bai Fengling’s frustration.

“No money, but if it’s my life you want, I can give you that!”

“If you’re not afraid of dying, then go ahead and expose it!

Do you even know whom you’re offending?”

“I was innocent with him to start with, and you didn’t even bother to find out who he is before you dared to blackmail!

Are you really that sick of living?”

Bai Fengling’s roar didn’t elicit an apology; instead, it was met with laughter.

“Miss Bai, nobody can find out my real identity!”

“As long as I can make money, I don’t care whose scandal it is—I dare to leak it, I dare to extort.

What can you do to me?”

“Not happy about it?

Would you like to follow the radio waves and come beat me up?”

“Since you’re so ungrateful and unwilling to cooperate, I’ll just have to sell it to someone else then!”

“You just wait to smell the stench of infamy, bye-bye!”

…

After the caller had hung up, Bai Fengling tried to call back, only to be told by an automated voice that it was a wrong number.

Truly underhanded and cunning!

Professional paparazzi, no doubt experts at what they do!

So then…

Could the phone number she had given Wu Jie be of any use?

And could Wu Jie find someone to sort things out in time?

Bai Fengling really wanted to rush and ask, but Wu Jie had already driven into the residential complex’s underground garage.

Without any hesitation, Bai Fengling quickly followed in her car.

Regrettably though…

The automatic access control system did not recognize her, and the barrier did not lift.

Bai Fengling stepped on the brakes in the Maserati and hastily put on her mask.

At that moment, a security guard from the property management approached and tapped on the window.

After rolling down the window, Bai Fengling handed over the resident card and hastily said,

“I’m a resident here, just bought this new car today, haven’t had the chance to register it yet!”

After checking the resident card, the security guard stood at attention and saluted,

“We recommend you download our community’s property management APP.

You can add or remove vehicles anytime, pay property and utility bills, remotely grant access to visitors…”

Bai Fengling urged, “Ah, I’m in a hurry, just let me in first.

I will download and install it once I get home!”

“Of course!

Take care!”

The guard manually lifted the barrier, and as soon as it raised, Bai Fengling floored it.

The Maserati sped swiftly down the slope in pursuit.

Upon dashing into the underground parking, Bai Fengling immediately searched for the parking area of Building One.

At last!

She saw the bright lights ahead.

Audi, known as “the factory of lights,” had laser lights that were particularly eye-catching.

Bai Fengling hurriedly drove over and confirmed that it was indeed Wu Jie’s amazing license plate.

Of course, the brand-new and imposing Audi S8 sedan was also very noticeable.

She slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Wu Jie’s car, immediately turning off her engine.

She opened the door, ran to the side of the Audi, and knocked on the car door with pressing anxiety.

The window rolled down, and Wu Jie was still on the phone.

“…Okay, then I’ll wait for you at home, bye!”

Wu Jie had just hung up the phone when Bai Fengling asked anxiously,

“How did it go?

Is everything settled?

That guy threatened me for five hundred thousand, but I didn’t give it to him!”

Bai Fengling had a pair of expressive, spirited beautiful eyes!

But now, they were full of hopeful anticipation and distinct eagerness.

Alas!

Wu Jie sighed.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that the only entertainment tycoon I know, Wang Taixiong, has already been clapped in irons!”

“I called my wife, Tang Xiao, and she doesn’t have that much influence or control in the entertainment industry, so…”

Hearing such a response.

Bai Fengling was utterly stunned!

Her mind felt like it had exploded, and she instantly felt the world spinning around her.

Her body went limp, her limbs weak.

She stumbled backward two steps, hitting Tang Xiao’s imposing and robust Mercedes G550 SUV.

Somewhat dazed, she leaned against the car body, taking off her mask.

Her eyes were hollow, her red lips parted, breathing heavily.

It’s over!

Ruined!

This really was a tragedy!

That professional paparazzo will definitely sell the photos!

The gossip media, which loved creating sensational headlines to draw attention, would certainly leak the news soon.

Today was also the weekend, and it coincided with the famous Tang Xiao’s wedding tomorrow!

This truly was the perfect opportunity to grab the spotlight and boost popularity!

Bai Fengling could imagine that once the news got out, the media would go crazy sharing and reporting it, and fans and netizens would definitely explode in reaction.

Was she about to be labeled as “the other woman, mistress, concubine”?

Just as she was at the peak of her fame, was she going to suddenly become infamous and spat upon by countless people?

Panic set in!

She was really panicking!

Bai Fengling couldn’t help but shake her head repeatedly, slowly crouching down, lost and disconsolate.

Lonely!

Helpless!

Despair!

Without a powerful background, without an outstanding PR team!

What she had were unscrupulous media who enjoyed stirring up trouble, narrow-minded, dark, and malicious keyboard warriors, armies of online harassers stirring up chaos, and peers who would not lend a hand but rather kick someone while they were down…

Wu Jie was bold enough to call Tang Xiao, and since Tang Xiao stated she couldn’t help, it meant she had Tang Xiao’s acknowledgement.

So then…

Did this incident become Bai Fengling’s private affair?

No one could help her!

And how could she help herself?

Bai Fengling bit her red lips, involuntarily looking toward the silent Maserati parked nearby.

The car was nice!

But to buy a car and bury her own career prospects was absolutely not worth it.

At this moment, Bai Fengling was full of regret.

Why did she insist on changing her car?

Why did she have to talk back and forth with Wu Jie in the car?

Why did she forget to wear a mask and sunglasses?

However…

There is no medicine for regret in this world, nor is there a way to turn back time.

Wu Jie sat in his car, looking at a famous star so frightened, almost to the point of tears.

Men, ah!

Deep down, they always harbor some kindness!

Just like in a moment of crisis, they let women and the elderly and children go first; no matter how angry or furious, they wouldn’t beat a woman.

So…

Wu Jie couldn’t help but give a kind reminder,

“What’s wrong with you?

A little scandal like this shouldn’t scare you to this extent, right?”

“You’re in a different field!

Tang Xiao and I truly can’t help with controlling or influencing the entertainment industry, but you’re different!”

“You’ve been in the entertainment industry for many years.

Don’t you know a bit about crisis PR management?”

“Even if you’ve never eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run!

Think of a way to utilize your relationships and take the initiative to preempt them!”

Bai Fengling suddenly snapped out of it.

“Right!

I can’t just sit around waiting for doom!

I must save myself!

I …

I need to send out a message to clear things up immediately!”

“I need to contact the company’s lawyer right away to issue a statement!”

Muttering to herself, Bai Fengling quickly got up and rushed back to her car to grab her phone.

Would she fall into the abyss, or stage a counterattack?

Bai Fengling had no choice but to fight…
