He had injuries on his back and hands and was placed in solitary confinement. There was an uncle in a hat guarding outside the ward.

Zhang Yuan didn't sleep well that night.

The key is that he is still thinking about it.

"Who wants to beat me up?"

"Xiang family?"

"Xiang Huaqiang is not that rampant in the capital, right?"

"And if you wanted to beat me up, why did you also beat Guo Jingjing up?"

Zhang Yuan was puzzled.

Because his foundation was not deep, especially in the imperial capital where a dropped brick could hit the children of the rich and powerful, there were at least eight thousand people who could beat him up without paying the price.

This is also the reason why he is extra careful in his daily work.

Because you never know which petty-minded person may bring you disaster.

Just think about Huang Haibo's fate and you will understand this truth.

This is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain!

But what is Guo Jingjing’s identity?
Especially after she fell in love with the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family, almost no one in the country dared to touch her openly.

She is not only the face of the country, but also the bond between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan’s beating was a public security incident, but Guo Jingjing’s beating was a political incident.

The nature is completely different.

This was also the reason why Zhang Yuan risked his life to protect the other party at that time.

"So, those people are either coming for me or for Guo Jingjing?"

"After all, if it was to beat me, no one would be so stupid as to involve a world champion."

But just like many great events in history are caused by small people and small mistakes.

The fall of Byzantium was due to a small door called Kerka Gate, which was not closed... As a result, the Ottoman army directly passed through the small door and passed through the city wall that had been resistant to attack for a long time.

Such a stupid mistake actually happened in such a grand historical event.

So Zhang Yuan certainly could not have imagined that the group of "professionals" sent by Boss Sun to invite an agent could not even see Miss Guo's face clearly under the dim light of the underground garage.

They couldn't see clearly at first, and when the stick came down, Guo Jingjing had her back to them.

Afterwards, the queen was pushed into the car by Zhang Yuan, and the other party could not see her appearance.

In addition, this group of people relied on the fact that they were backed by the two most powerful devils in the imperial capital, and they were very arrogant.

The dog relies on the power of the master.

They don't care who you are, they'll just beat up anyone related to Zhang Yuan first...

As it is said in "The Three-Body Problem", ignorance and weakness are not the biggest obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

It was almost noon the next day when the two uncles in hats returned the confiscated phone to Zhang Yuan.

That’s right, his communication equipment was sealed during the interrogation yesterday.

Zhang Yuan knew what was going on and gave him a cell phone...

I looked outside again and saw that the uncle in the hat who was guarding the door had also left.

Phew... that means there is definitely no problem with me in the white way.

He broadcast it immediately.

"Hello, Director Feng..."

If you don't come home overnight, you have to tell the crew first.

"what!"

After he gave a brief account of his experience, Feng Xiaogang started shouting on the other end of the phone, his voice becoming hoarse.

"How are you doing?"

"I can move, but I'm not very flexible."

Zhang Yuan felt it and it was definitely painful.

But his muscles and bones were much stronger than those of ordinary people, so the injuries were mainly skin injuries and bruises.

Considering his physique which had lost a small amount of "vitality", it would take him three to five days to regain some flexibility, and it would probably take him a month to fully recover.

This time, key parts such as the head and heart were not injured, so although the entire back looks purple and red, it's actually okay.

Many martial artists often suffer injuries of this level.

The golden wound medicine that the crew of "Huo Yuanjia" brought back earlier has been used up, and we have to ask Master Ma for more.

Feng Xiaogang put down the phone, his hands shaking with anger.

"Fuck!"

"The filming hasn't even finished yet, and they beat up my lead actor."

Feng Xiaogang thought about it and called the two brothers of the Wang family directly.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were also furious when they heard the news.

"Damn it, just go ask around in the capital, everyone knows that we are protecting Zhang Yuan."

"Someone actually dared to touch him in our territory!"

Sister Hua just took a group of people away last year.

Now the most popular young artist in his company has been beaten again.

If outsiders knew about this, it would be a laughing stock for us.

If you can’t even protect your own brothers, who will dare to come and join Huayi in the future?

"It must be Xiang Huaqiang!" Wang Zhonglei cursed.

"Zhang Yuan is a very slippery guy. I only heard that he has conflicts with the Xiang family!"

"Zhong Lei, don't worry. This may not be a bad thing." Wang Zhongjun was older after all, so he calmed down.

"You just have a quick temper."

"Huo Siyan was just discharged from the hospital these two days. You can't be so harsh in the future. We have to let her work to make money for us."

Wang Zhonglei lowered his head after his brother was exposed for his scandal.

"I also think it should be the Xiang family."

"We were worried that we couldn't catch this guy."

"If it was really the Xiang family who did it, then he would need our protection even more."

"This is like God helping us discipline him."

"Yes!" Xiao Wang also reacted.

"Well, I'll contact the higher-ups first and find out what happened."

After saying this, the king hid aside and made a phone call.

But Xiao Wang was still impatient and called Xiang Huaqiang directly.

"Boss Xiang, we had dinner and talked before, and we agreed on this. Why don't you keep your word?"

Xiang Huaqiang was confused when he heard this.

"Don't pretend. It's already happened. We Huayi need an explanation."

"Are you sick..." Xiang Huaqiang replied directly.

After hearing what the other party said, Xiao Wang could no longer hold back and started swearing at Long Wu.

He cursed for a long time before throwing down the phone. When he turned around, he saw his brother's hesitant expression.

"What's wrong? What did they say over there?"

"Uncle said... let us stay out of this matter and not cause any trouble."

The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. Who on earth had Zhang Yuan offended that even we couldn't intervene?
At the same time, Xiao Wang also reacted.

Shit... I didn't scold the wrong person just now!
On the other side, in a conference room, a group of people whose positions and identities could not be described were meeting to deal with a case that happened last night.

"Things are very clear now." said the leader.

"Sun Wenlong and the two men from the Ren family secretly joined forces to mobilize a group of idle people in society, led by Wang Zheng, Liang Jun, and Zhang Yi."

"At around 22:16 last night, Guo Jingjing and Zhang Yuan were attacked on the second floor of the VIP building's underground garage."

"The two were injured in multiple places, and a commercial vehicle registered under the name of Yuanjing Entertainment was damaged."

"After interrogation, Sun Wenlong and two people from the Ren family confessed."

"After Sun Wenlong invested in the TV series "Paris Fairy Tale", he took a fancy to the leading actress Li Xiaoran and pursued her."

"After his pursuit was rejected by the other party, Sun Wenlong adopted a series of stalking methods."

"Li Xiaoran couldn't stand the harassment and went to Sichuan to escape, where she met Zhang Yuan, who was also an actor."

"This situation is consistent with the travel records of the two people."

"After being reminded by Zhang Yuan, Li Xiaoran discovered that the girl he was living with had accepted bribes from Sun Wenlong to help him monitor and control his movements."

"After Li Xiaoran confronted the girl he was living with, she got Zhang Yuan's name and told Sun Wenlong."

"So Sun developed a hatred for Zhang and contacted Ren's family and his men to help him take revenge."

"After verification, Zhang Yuan has never had direct contact or communication with Sun Wenlong."

"above."

Everyone at the table fell silent.

Just because of such a bullshit, the whole imperial city is in chaos?

The leader sneered and spoke again.

"Since midnight yesterday, I have received dozens of calls, all asking about the situation of Sun and Ren."

"Everyone is a senior, an old leader, it's more lively than visiting relatives during the Spring Festival."

"Including these two, actress Li Xiaoran is also a child of the compound."

"The children of the big courtyards in our imperial capital are so promising."

Many people present looked unhappy when they heard the other party say this.

Because they are also children of the compound.

"The higher-ups are not happy. Sun and Ren will definitely have to be taught a lesson."

"The focus of the investigation will be on the perpetrators."

"The next step is to notify everyone. Before the Olympics, all the men in the capital should behave themselves."

"Then how should we explain to the Huo family?" someone asked, and then said.

"My suggestion is that although Zhang Yuan had no subjective malice and had no contact with Sun."

"But after all, this matter was caused by him, so we might as well use him to give an explanation to the Huo family."

The others all nodded, thinking that it was most appropriate to use a little actor to sacrifice to the gods.

At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the priority in handling incidents is that whoever has a weak background and few connections will take the lead.

"The General Administration of Sports has said so." the leader said again.

"Zhang Yuan attended the dinner because an e-sports player from the company in which he holds a stake won the world championship overseas."

"It has made certain contributions to the sports industry." Games... everyone present said disdainfully.

These small titles and honors are not great achievements and are of no use.

What they need now is closure of the case and an explanation.

They would rather be too heavy than too light, for fear that the Hong Kong merchants headed by the Hao family would be dissatisfied.

"There is one more thing." The leader pressed his hand.

"According to the investigation."

"April 2002, 5."

"Zhang Yuan and his group were waiting for their flight at the Imperial Capital Airport when they discovered the gasoline carried by the criminal Zhang, thus avoiding the plane crash that was planned for deliberate insurance fraud."

"On that flight was the vice president of the Imperial Capital Branch of Minsheng Bank."

"The coach and captain of the national women's football team."

"Deputy General Manager of Huaxia Foreign Trade and Transportation Corporation."

"And a female reporter from AFP."

"In addition to the nine crew members, there were 9 domestic and international passengers on board."

"If an air crash happens, the social impact it causes is unimaginable, and there may even be diplomatic risks."

It only took the people in this office a few hours to find out exactly how many pieces of paper Zhang Yuan used to poop when he was a child, and whether his underwear was facing up or down when he wore it.

"So, what I mean is."

"In this incident, Zhang Yuan himself is a victim, and based on his past experience, his merits outweigh his faults, and his background is clean."

“No one should be held responsible for this.”

After hearing what happened at the Imperial Capital Airport, the others stopped talking.

If you put it that way, this kid really helped everyone at this table avoid a devastating disaster.

It would seem that I would feel guilty if I were to sacrifice him to the gods again.

"Well, I will give the detailed report of the incident and Zhang Yuan's personal information to the Huo family."

"The other side should be reasonable and let them make their own judgment."

The leader turned on the "non-stick pan" mode.

But in fact, I am already very biased towards Zhang Yuan.

At their level, a person's life or death, success or failure, almost depends on their thoughts.

In the hospital, Guo Jingjing was chatting with Zhang Yuan.

"If you hadn't protected me last night, I would have taken more than just this one blow."

"How are you now? Can you move?"

As the two were talking, Huo Qigang walked in from outside with a very difficult expression on his face.

He had already obtained the information given by his superiors and knew the whole story.

In his eyes, the two unlucky guys in front of him were just that.

A man who came up with an idea for a friend was issued a hunting warrant.

When one went to ask for an autograph, he was included in the wanted warrant.

"Mr. Wow..." Zhang Yuan raised his arm to greet him, but he grimaced in pain.

When Master Huo saw him like this, and thought of how he had been beaten dozens of times to protect his girlfriend, he thought that it wasn't easy for him either.

The Huo family is very rational and reasonable, completely different from those standard Hong Kong tycoons.

Of course, being a gentleman only on the surface; when necessary, he can be more ruthless than anyone else.

Ho Qigang sighed, walked up to the two of them, and told them what happened in general.

Zhang Yuan almost fainted after hearing this.

"This Boss Sun is really arrogant. I have tried my best to be careful. I only gave advice and did not intervene personally, but I was almost beaten to death..."

"That's right. In her previous life, after Li Xiaoran left him, she fell in love with Yan Po, and he hired someone to stab that girl more than a dozen times."

"And after that incident, Boss Sun has been fine."

"But this time it was different. He hit it on a hard spot."

No matter how impressive your family background is, it is all in the past. The Huo family is much more prestigious and important than Boss Sun's family.

After all, there are dozens of families of the Sun family's level in the imperial capital.

But there is only one Huo family.

"Ah, why is this person like this?"

"If forcing someone to fall in love doesn't work, you have to hit them?" Guo Jingjing has lived in the national team and the Sports Bureau since she was a child, which is relatively closed. She doesn't know much about the cruelty of the outside world.

"Mr. Ho, I'm sorry, this matter was caused by me, I don't know..."

"Forget it." Ho Qigang shook his head.

Zhang Yuan was hired by myself and Director Liu to do publicity, but this kind of incident happened.

The most important thing now is to never mention it again, to smooth over the matter and pretend that nothing had happened.

This is what is best for their family.

He just went upstairs and told his grandfather in the intensive care unit his thoughts.

The old man praised him very much, saying that he was very mature and thoughtful.

Some things are not as heavy as a few ounces if you don't weigh them, but once you weigh them you will weigh more than a thousand pounds.

The two parties causing the trouble also have backgrounds, and if you look deeper, it is bound to cause some people to feel antagonistic.

Fortunately, Guo Jingjing was not seriously injured.

If it ends here, not only will the higher-ups be happy, but certain units will also remember the Hao family's generosity and kindness.

Their family has always been like this. They will not choose the most face-saving or satisfying option, but will choose the optimal solution that maximizes benefits.

We treat business as business and focus on long-term interests.

In addition, the old man is in poor health, and this is when they need the support of the big families in the imperial capital.

So this matter can only be held high and put down gently, and it is best not to let outsiders know.

And their family has always been very politically sensitive.

Huo Qigang saw the information about Zhang Yuan at the Imperial Capital Airport.

He thought that based on this incident alone, as long as Zhang Yuan didn't commit any serious crimes, the higher-ups would probably show leniency and give him a lighter sentence.

In fact, the Chinese top leaders are quite humane.

Add to that his reputation as an esports supporter and among young people, and it felt like this guy was available.

Knock, knock, knock... At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

The door was opened from the outside and a man and a woman came in.

Zhang Yuan was very familiar with one of them, but he had never seen the other one before.

"Qishan, you're here."

The visitors were Huo Qishan and Zhang Ziyi.

Because of her relationship with Huo Qishan, Zhang Ziyi is more informed than Feng Xiaogang and the Wang brothers.

After knowing that Zhang Yuan was injured, she wanted to go with her boyfriend to visit the patient.

Guo Jingjing recognized Zhang Ziyi and they had dinner together.

But people of the same sex repel each other, and Guo Jingjing knew the Hao family's attitude towards Zhang Ziyi, so she was not very interested in her.

Zhang Ziyi came here specially with good intentions.

After she knew the details of the matter, she was afraid that Zhang Yuan from the Huo family would become the target of her anger, so she thought that if she had the chance, she would say a few words for this boy.

But after entering the ward, he saw Huo Qigang talking to him with a smile, it didn't seem like anything was wrong?
This kid is so capable that he has already dealt with the Huo family, leaving me with no room for my skills?
They sat down and chatted for a while.

"Don't worry about the crew. Director Feng has given you a vacation, so you can recuperate first." said Zhang Ziyi.

"Hey, thank you."

Zhang Yuan didn't know what Master Hao thought of him, and he thought to himself that he had to do something, otherwise he wouldn't know how to end this trouble that he had caused.

He thought for a long time and came up with an idea.

"Mr. Hao, I remember that Mr. Hao has a special sports foundation, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Huo Qigang replied puzzledly.

This foundation will reward participants of previous Olympic Games, usually with pure gold medals or equivalent cash.

At the 04 Athens Olympics, the foundation awarded more than million Hong Kong dollars in prize money, and even many substitute players in team sports received prize money.

"Two years ago, Fang Shilong organized a celebrity car race, which attracted a lot of attention and donations."

"But most of the participants are celebrities from Hong Kong and Formosa."

"You said, if we organize another car race that brings together celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, can it help boost the momentum for the upcoming Asian Games and the Olympics?"

Oh?
Huo Qigang glanced at his brother, then turned back to look at Zhang Yuan.

As I thought, this person is available.

The Huo family is not short of money, but the old man is in poor health now, so he has been working on building relationships in mainland China in an attempt to improve his reputation.

Racing...is a good way.

"If you're interested, I happen to know someone from Magic City TV."

“They have a cooperative relationship with the Shanghai International Circuit and can participate in the live broadcast throughout the entire process.”

Oh, the follow-up publicity and implementation have been thought out.

It’s no wonder that his e-sports team can win the world championship.

It turns out that he has some skills.

"Well, it's a good idea. I'll think about it." Master Huo still had to discuss it with his father.

Racing is also a sport. It can raise money for charity and increase the family’s influence in mainland China.

Ho Chi-kang thinks this is a good thing.

"Okay, if you need, I can draw up a list of stars for you to review."

"I see."

Zhang Ziyi watched from the side and raised her eyebrows.

This kid was very quick-witted. He immediately thought of an opportunity to win over the Yu Huo family to work together.

And it was the same as before... Zhang Ziyi remembered the promotional video that Zhang Yuan proposed to produce.

The publicity effect was very good, but the biggest beneficiary was actually himself.

The same is true now, and he proposed to draw up a list.

If the Hao family agrees, then he will control the admission rights to the event!
Doesn't it all depend on him who can come and who can't come?
How many celebrities and artists would come to curry favor with him?

While helping the Hao family and making friends with them to resolve this trouble, he can also reap benefits.

In terms of being smart, turning danger into fortune, and never leaving a thief empty-handed, I'm afraid there's no one else like him in the entire Chinese film and television industry... (End of this chapter)
