Chapter 1 - The Movie Queen's Domineering Fan (1)

Xu Zifan woke up with a hangover. His sight was filled with beer cans and cigarette butts on the table. The computer screen was still playing the video of a soccer match, making his head ache even more. 

This is not his first time crossing worlds. After confirming that he was alone in the room, Xu Zifan turned off the video, soaked himself in the bathtub, and closed his eyes to understand the world. 

This time he is guarding Qiao Zixin. She became an actress when she started her career at the age of 18. At the age of 23 this year, she was at the peak of her career. However, she was brutally defeated and became poison to the box office numbers. She was blacked out by the agents and the whole network. Even the brokerage company rescinded her contract, it made her lose all her savings. 

This shouldn’t have been her ending. Everything was because of a reborn person. Xu Zifan; as a world emissary, came here to save Qiao Zixin and protect her happy life. 

Xu Zifan felt his headache eased a little and took a tablet to search the news on Qiao Zixin.

Xu Zifan looked at the screen and tapped his fingers on the edge of the bathtub, which was his usual action when thinking deeply. 

Xingchen Entertainment gave an announcement released in the morning. According to the development of the plot, Qiao Zixin will be drunk at the bar because of her best friend Baiyou Yue on that night. Then a reporter who broke into the box would take pictures of her losing her composure after drinking and cuddling closely with a male model; adding more weight to the shady material. 

Baiyou Yue; even if she was a friend, owed a large amount of debt. This time, when someone gave her money, naturally she would spare no effort to sell Qiao Zixin. Poor Qiao Zixin trusted her very much, never on guard against her. After the event, there was no argument at all. It was already difficult to stand back up.  

 

Xu Zifan looked at the time. It happened at about 9 o’clock in the evening. It is now 1 o’clock, there is still plenty of time. 

He called housekeeping to clean the room first, then came out of the bathtub and walked to the front of the mirror. This time, the body has very good skin, young and handsome, delicate facial features, wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, with a height of 1.85 meters. If it wasn’t for the complexion and hairstyle, it would have turned heads. 

But obviously the original owner didn’t cherish his body very much. He drank his life away. Otherwise, Xu Zifan would not have been able to enter it. 

The original owner; also known as Xu Zifan, is 25 years old, from the big city of Yanjing. At the age of 18, his parents died in a plane crash. The original owner was hit hard and didn’t go to college; he simply stopped studying. He stayed at home and lived on the more than two million inheritance left by his parents and the rent from two shops. 

In recent years, he had moved several times and changed his cell phone number. His relationship with his relatives had become more and more distant. He is alone and had no friends. His life experience is very simple. 

Xu Zifan calmly accepted his new identity, put on his clothes and began to prepare for the evening. He found a hat, mask, sunglasses and a wide coat; and put them all into a bag. While waiting for the housekeeper, he bought a lot of things with a take-out app, such as daily necessities, fresh vegetables, frozen food, rice, flour, oil, and salt, etc. He didn’t buy much, but they were enough for four or five days. 

After the housekeeping staff cleaned the room and the delivery came, Xu Zifan packed his bag and drove off. The bar is a little far away from his home, and it was easy to get stuck in traffic in Yanjing. It was safer to go there earlier. He always likes to arrange things more carefully. 

When he arrived at the bar, it was exactly 6:00 PM. He parked his car near the back door of the bar; at a better place to quickly drive away. He bought a cup of coffee and held it in his hand, and habitually familiarized himself with the road around him for several minutes. Although it may not be needed in the end, what if he was chased and he didn’t even know the way? 

He never does anything he isn’t sure of. If he wants to do it, he must be on the safe side. Otherwise, he wouldn’t only fail to help the target, but may also harm the other party. 

After getting familiar with the road condition, Xu Zifan found a restaurant for dinner. Sitting by the window, he could just see the front door of the bar. At about 7:30, Xu Zifan saw Qiao Zixin in disguised with her best friend, leisurely getting off a car. He walked into the bar at a distance behind them, saw them enter box 102, ordered a cocktail and sat in a position where he could see the box. 

The light in the bar was somewhat dim, the bar and the lounge were already occupied by many people, the music was noisy and the dance floor was very lively. Xu Zifan pressed the brim of his hat and didn’t drink the cocktail. He also shook his head and refuse to chat with people that occasionally came up to him. However, there are many people who come to the bar to sit around and relax, so he didn’t attract attention. 

Within half an hour, he saw a waiter deliver wine to box 102 three times. When the box stopped calling for wine, he went to the bathroom, put on his coat, his mask and dark glasses, and knocked on the door of 102. 

The door was opened by Baiyou Yue. As soon as she saw Xu Zifan, she pulled him in. Seeing how tightly wrapped he was, she thought he didn’t want to be recognized. She whispered, “Are you Adam? How come you came so fast? Didn’t you say you would come in half an hour?” 

Xu Fu Zifan said “yeah”, lowered his head slightly, and suddenly asked, “just take some ambiguous photos and not really do it, right?” 

“Yes, do you want to really do it? The price is…” 

Xu Zifan interrupts her, “If you really want me to do it, the price will double and the money you gave is too little.”

When Baiyou heard this, her expression immediately changed, “What? You want to increase the price when you’re the one taking advantage?” 

(TNote: Yeah, Bai You Yue is called Baiyou, not the usual ‘two last syllables’ in a nickname in most Cnovels. Well it’s weird for me… but there it is ¯ (ツ) /¯ )

“It’s said on the Internet that her private life is chaotic, and I’m at risk of being close to her. Otherwise, with such a beautiful woman, even if I don’t get paid, I’d like to.” 

When Baiyou heard him say ‘not get paid’, her eyes flashed and tried to say, “are you serious? Sleep with her once without getting paid?” 

Xu Zifan walked over to Qiao Zixin, who was drunk, sat down and hissed, “Didn’t you hear what I said was a big ‘If’? I assumed that her private life was not that chaotic.” 

Baiyou is in need of money, think that Qiao Zixin can save her some money by sleeping with him. She immediately took a few steps closer and said mysteriously, “I’m telling you, but you mustn’t say anything. Actually, those online stories are fake, Qiao Zixin is very conservative. Her private life is not chaotic, even the kissing scenes are fake. How about it? 30 Thousand for her first night. If you agree, I’ll go out first.”

Xu Zifan pretended to be surprised, “so those online stories are fake? Who hates her so much?” 

“Who likes her?! I don’t know how many people had been blocked by her popularity. Now everyone wants to watch a disaster happening on the sidelines. Even her company ditched her, this shows how unpopular she is.”

“Yes, even you; her best friend, is stabbing her in the back, her popularity is really bad enough.” 

Baiyou became angry from embarrassment, “Cut the crap! Do we have a deal?” 

“Forget it, I’m afraid when she wakes up, she would accuse me of r*pe, I still want the money. Later, when the reporter comes, I promise to pose in the most ambiguous position. Really not thinking about giving me extra money?” 

“The agreed price is 30 thousand yuan. If you start negotiating the price again, I will find someone else. There are many people willing to do this kind of thing. In fact, you have also taken some advantage in this. You think Qiao Zixin is at the forefront now. When the news comes out tomorrow, everyone will know about you. Then you insist that you were threatened by her. Maybe you can even get some sympathy fans. Money can’t compare to all of this, and other people can’t even get this kind of popularity.”

Xu Zifan nodded and didn’t speak again. His finger moved in his pocket, then he lifted Qiao Zixin up and let her rest on his shoulder. 

Baiyou saw his gentle movements and curled her lips. “Her face is really attractive to men. Don’t get lost in it and forget what you are here for.” 

Xu Zifan looked at Qiao Zixin’s face and suddenly said hesitantly, “I may not be able to meet such a beautiful woman in my whole life. I’ll listen to you. You go first, I won’t take the money, and I’ll return the deposit to you tomorrow.” 

Baiyou was overjoyed. Qiao Zixin was drunk and everyone knew that her private life was chaotic. Even if she started to make a scene afterwards, it doesn’t matter. There is no evidence to prove that she didn’t do it willingly. As for their friendship, after this; it’s no longer necessary to maintain. Qiao Zixin had no more use anyway. 

Baiyou grabbed the bag and walked to the door, turning back, “remember that Qiao Zixin was the one that called you here.” 

Xu Zifan gave a wave of his hand, his eyes didn’t move away from Qiao Zixin. He seemed impatient, “I know. You have to stay away, otherwise, it won’t be my fault if you’re photographed by reporters. By the way, call the reporter to come in half an hour.” 

“Caught red handed right? Okay, I understand. I’ll send them your positions later.” Baiyou thought he wanted to be photographed, make a big news, and smiled at him. 

She went to the nearby restaurant to see the follow-up development. After all, she collected a lot of money from others. She had to be sure that things were done before she was relieved. 

*****

After she left, Xu Zifan put two small transparent plastic bags wrapped in paper towels in his pocket into the seam of the sofa, revealing half of them, and you could just barely see the white powder in the bag, which looked like some kind of dr*g. Then he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the recording just now, and listened to it. He made sure that all the recordings were recorded completely. He took off his coat and put it on Qiao Zixin. He also put on his dark glasses for her. He spread her hair on both sides of her cheek to cover most of her face and helped her out. 

There are many drunk people in the bar every day. When Xu Zifan entered the box just now, it was obvious that he knew the people inside. So, the waiter didn’t stop him when he saw him helping someone leave. Anyway, the lady had already paid the bill. Xu Zifan takes Qiao Zixin out from the back door smoothly, places her in the passenger seat and leaves quickly. 

At the front door, a man walked into the bar carelessly and walked to the door of box 102. When he saw that the waiter was going to clean up, he was shocked. “What happened to the guests here?” 

“Just left.” 

“Gone?” The man frowned and made a phone call. “I’m Adam, didn’t we make an appointment for 9 o’clock? Why did you leave?” 

Baiyou coughed, choking on her soda, “Adam? Didn’t you arrive long ago?” 

“I just arrived at the bar, right at the door of the box you told me. Did you find someone else? You listen, I will not refund the deposit you gave me.”

“No, that’s not right! I only contracted you! Who was that just now?” A bad premonition came up in Baiyou’s heart, then she got up and ran out, “This is bad! I’ll come right away. Don’t go first!” 

Xu Zifan looked at the time when he was waiting for the red light, then called the police: “Hello, I’m reporting that a woman named Baiyou in box 102 of the Blue Tone Bar was smoking powder. She seems to be doing business with a male model. Now she is getting ready to leave. Please get the police here as soon as possible. ”
