Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 1770 - 1767: Retribution Arrives
Miss hung up the phone and said to Lin Tian, "It’s 8:15 now. The Earl will arrive at 9:30. If you want the Eye of the Creator, you’d better prepare." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Lin Tian shrugged and smiled, "There’s nothing much to prepare for, just waiting for him to come."
"Alright then, I’ll go make some preparations first. The Earl is very prestigious in England, so we can’t be careless with the reception. If you feel bored, you and Xuanxuan can come to the venue later. After all, with so many people, the entrance ceremony will take half an hour," Xiao Manxue advised.
After speaking, she left, leaving only Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan on the balcony, and the little girl noticed Lin Tian’s eyes glancing over her.
She looked down and realized she was still in her pajamas, with nothing on underneath. The sunlight outside shone through, creating a hazy, partially visible scene.
"Ah..." The little girl screamed, her face turning crimson, and then she ran away as if fleeing.
Lin Tian swallowed hard, regretting that the little girl had such a good figure. She looked so nice even without a bra, defying Earth’s gravity, and they were so large.
This is incredible. I need to go take a cold shower. Lin Tian took several deep breaths and rushed into the bathroom. After all, it’s morning, the time when a man’s energy is at its peak, and he just had to see such an alluring scene.
When Lin Tian finished freshening up and got dressed, breakfast was already prepared in the living room, but a group of people hadn’t eaten yet. Instead, they gathered in front of the TV, seemingly watching some news.
"Brother Lin Tian, come over quickly..." Zhou Botong waved excitedly, as if he had seen some good news, while Lin Tian found the voice coming from the TV somewhat familiar.
Lin Tian walked over and saw that it was a scene from Tian Xiaotian’s party being shown on the TV. It had to be said that the little girl was very photogenic, with her charm undiminished on camera.
"Lin Tian, take a look at the news on your phone, it’ll give you a shock, haha, this time Bitong will be pissed," Ou Mengmeng laughed heartily, unable to keep her mouth closed.
Lin Tian was puzzled. They were already the headline yesterday; what news could there be today? He took out his phone, opened the browser, and began browsing the news.
"Wow, is it really that exaggerated?" Lin Tian was stunned, his mouth agape.
The entertainment channels were full of news about Tian Xiaotian, which didn’t surprise Lin Tian. But even the financial and economic sections, jewelry and fashion channels had news about her. Well, as the spokesperson for Tianxue Jewelry, she could barely be related to those two.
But the gaming channel, the sports channel, and even the automotive channel had news about her. What’s going on?
"Rumored that the hot rising star Tian Xiaotian endorses such-and-such game, rumored to endorse such-and-such sports goods, the most farfetched is the automotive channel, such a pure girl should be paired with such a pure car, you deserve it..." Lin Tian was dumbfounded, while Zhou Botong and the others seemed unsurprised, as if they knew it already.
"Come on, is it Ou Qinglan and the others fanning the flames behind the scenes?" Lin Tian glanced at Ou Mengmeng and Zhou Botong, already guessing the event’s cause.
"Exactly, Sister Qing and the others are marketing experts; naturally, they know how to create hype. But Sister Qing said that this is just superficial work, and this heat can’t last. To keep Xiaotian from fading, we must produce excellent works; hype is only an auxiliary means," Zhou Botong said seriously, rare for his seriousness.
Hype is only an auxiliary means, Lin Tian kept nodding in agreement. Nowadays, some celebrities rely mainly on hype and creating buzzes instead of putting out some excellent works.
An artist, an actor’s life is in their works. Those stars who have remained popular for a long time have done so because of their excellent works. Many stars who were once incredibly popular quickly faded away because they purely relied on hype.
"By the way, where’s Xiaotian?" Lin Tian looked around but did not see Tian Xiaotian.
"She’s the spokesperson for Tianxue Jewelry, so she needs to attend this jewelry exhibition. She already left with Miss early in the morning," Zhou Botong said.
"Well, that was quick. I just saw Miss earlier," Lin Tian shook his head, feeling a bit helpless with the work fanatic, but more so full of admiration.
"Breaking news, the Octagonal Entertainment Company has recently been plagued by scandals, causing its stock price to plummet. Major shareholders are reportedly selling their shares. Rumor has it that the Li Group is planning to purchase Octagonal Entertainment, officially entering the entertainment industry..."
"The Li Group?" Lin Tian was momentarily confused, "What’s the background of this Octagonal Entertainment Company? Did they offend someone?"
Zhou Botong and the others looked at Lin Tian, their expressions even stranger than his, "Brother Lin Tian, was it really not you?"
"What did I do? I don’t even know what Octagonal Entertainment is, what did I do?" Lin Tian replied, feeling wronged.
"It really wasn’t you, then who was it?" Zhou Botong became even more puzzled and explained, "The boss of this Octagonal Entertainment is Liu Xiong, quite the big shot in the entertainment circle. Normally, no one would touch him, and most media wouldn’t report negative news about Octagonal Entertainment unless he offended someone."
After speaking, Zhou Botong looked again at Lin Tian, but Lin Tian denied it once more, "It really wasn’t me. I spent last night either fighting or fighting, and then resolving battles with two Goddesses, how could I have had the mind to mess with Liu Xiong’s company?"
"Then who could have done it?" Zhou Botong shook his head, perplexed, "There must be a big player behind this. Could it be Sister Qing? Uncle Yun? Or the Li Family?"
"Who cares who did it, it’s better if they go bankrupt. That Liu Xiong and his younger son were getting too arrogant, they even said yesterday that Tianfeng Entertainment would disappear, and now Octagonal Entertainment disappeared first. This company’s name is really unlucky, Liu Xiong is in trouble and the eight directions give him a thumbs up, serves him right," Lin Tian said indifferently; it’s just an entertainment company anyway.
"Liu Xiong has slept with so many actresses, it’s karma now," Ou Mengmeng sneered.
"Wait, let me make a call and ask." Lin Tian suddenly remembered something and took out his phone to make a call.
"Master, good morning, calling me so early, are you missing me?" A coquettish voice came from the phone immediately, and the evil fire that Lin Tian had suppressed with a cold shower almost reignited.
Sighing lightly, Lin Tian deliberately spoke seriously, "Don’t stray from the topic, I want to ask you something, were you behind Liu Xiong and his Octagonal Entertainment Company?" Given Charlotte’s capabilities, she could indeed pull it off.
"That Liu Xiong and his son dared to yell at the Master and even dared to threaten him. I did plan to bankrupt his company, but I hadn’t even made a move, and someone already did it," Charlotte replied nonchalantly, as if bringing a company to bankruptcy was an effortless thing.
"Who did it?" Lin Tian frowned slightly, sensing from Charlotte’s tone that she might know who was behind it.
