"A grenade?" Qin Wenbin’s eyes widened as he saw Su Xuan pull one out. Is he really going to blow me up with that? Has he gotten that deep into his role? It’s just a prop! Su Xuan, however, straightened his back with righteous indignation. He yanked the pin, and the grenade began to sizzle, spewing smoke. Simultaneously, Su Xuan bellowed, "I’d rather die than be captured alive by you! Invaders must perish! Justice will prevail!" As his voice faded, a deafening BOOM! erupted. Dirt flew everywhere as the shockwave launched Qin Wenbin more than half a meter into the air. He landed with a heavy THUD and was knocked out cold. Even as he lost consciousness, Qin Wenbin couldn’t understand what had just happened. How did it explode? In reality, this was Su Xuan’s final scene—one where he was meant to take the enemy down with him. His grenade was indeed a fake, but the film crew had buried a special effects explosive charge a meter in front of him. As soon as he pulled the pin, a crew member hidden in the distance would detonate the charge, creating the illusion of a grenade explosion. The blast was weak and posed no threat to Su Xuan from a meter away. However, in a stroke of extreme misfortune, Qin Wenbin was standing right on top of the pre-buried charge. Taking the full force of the blast, he was, unsurprisingly, knocked unconscious. As for Su Xuan, he had already dropped to the ground at the sound of the explosion, signifying his character’s sacrifice. BWOOOT! BWOOOT! BWOOOT! The moment he hit the ground, a bugle call suddenly echoed from deep within the forest. "Make the invaders pay in blood!" A group of people roared, surging from the woods like a tidal wave and clashing with the remaining devils. These were the righteous people’s army, the Eighth Route Army! Chen Yuesheng was among them, swinging his machete through the ranks of the devils. With every stroke, another enemy fell dead. Besides them, a group of plainly dressed women also charged out of the woods. A pretty young woman ran straight to Su Xuan’s side, collapsing onto his body and breaking into heart-wrenching sobs. "How could you just die ! You said you were going to marry me! What am I supposed to do now that you’re gone?" Sobbing, the woman wiped Su Xuan’s face until it was clean. She cupped his face and began to kiss it, tears streaming down her own. At that moment, the director zoomed in for a close-up. His mouth suddenly twitched. Through the lens, he saw the actress sneakily stick out her tongue while kissing Su Xuan...

A short while later, the last devil fell, signifying the end of the scene. Shang Lianqing rushed over, immediately found Su Xuan, and pulled him up from the ground. "Chairman," he said excitedly, "tonight’s scene was incredibly realistic and perfect, with such powerful emotional impact! I’m confident this film will be a huge hit when it’s released!" "That’s great." Su Xuan wiped the still-wet saliva from his face, his gaze falling on the unconscious Qin Wenbin. He couldn’t help but chuckle. The guy had come looking for trouble, but not only failed, he had even helped film a scene for free with great enthusiasm. What a great guy! If Qin Wenbin knew what Su Xuan was thinking right now, he would surely burst into tears of grievance. Shang Lianqing asked, "Chairman, what should we do with this guy and the people he brought?" "First, call an ambulance and send them to the hospital," Su Xuan replied. "Yes, yes! They really went through a lot, acting with their lives on the line. Without their participation, the scene’s impact would have been greatly diminished!" After saying this, Shang Lianqing immediately called for an ambulance. Then he asked Su Xuan, "Chairman, should we call the police, too? If we don’t teach them a lesson, they might dare to bother you again!" "You handle it." With that, Su Xuan walked away with a smile. Dongfang Hao and Chen Yuesheng, brimming with high spirits, walked over to him. The two had gotten their fill of acting and had an absolute blast. Meanwhile, Shang Lianqing did indeed call the police. The reason he gave was that someone had infiltrated the film set and attempted to kidnap his chairman. The claim sounded serious, but it was also very close to the truth. It would be enough to make Qin Wenbin disappear for a while. "Brother Su, care for a drink?" Dongfang Hao asked. Laughing heartily, Su Xuan, Dongfang Hao, and Chen Yuesheng headed to the farmhouse restaurant for drinks. Shang Lianqing followed shortly after, bringing not only some key crew members to join them but also several very beautiful actresses, including the one who had gotten saliva on Su Xuan’s face. At the banquet, that actress kept toasting Su Xuan with amorous glances. In the end, she failed to get Su Xuan drunk but ended up sneaking out to vomit several times herself. To liven up the banquet, Chen Yuesheng also sparred for a bit with one of the martial arts instructors who had joined them. "Brother Su, I admire you more and more!" Dongfang Hao exclaimed. "I heard from Yu Fei that you’re the second-largest shareholder of Fei Lian Airlines and that you helped her out immensely! Now I find out you’ve also fully acquired Tianchou Film Studio! I really can’t compare to you anymore, brother! Come on, let me toast you three times!" His face filled with admiration, Dongfang Hao clinked glasses with Su Xuan, making sure to hold the rim of his own glass significantly lower as a sign of respect. The party lasted until midnight. After it broke up, Shang Lianqing had some crew members act as designated drivers to send the drunken Dongfang Hao and Chen Yuesheng home. He then took Su Xuan directly back to the company headquarters. Eager to curry favor, he secretly stuffed numerous gifts into Su Xuan’s electric scooter and then had the actress drive Su Xuan home. Su Xuan was woken by Butler Liu while he was still fast asleep. "Old Liu, has the sky fallen?" Su Xuan complained groggily. "The sky hasn’t fallen, sir, but some important people are here to see you." "You’ll know when you go out and see." Su Xuan quickly washed up and went out to the courtyard, where he saw two smartly dressed old men. "Hello, Boss Su!" one of them said with a beaming smile. "Do you recognize us old-timers?" "And you are?" Su Xuan scratched his head, having no memory of the two men. "We’re colleagues!" the two old men said mysteriously. This only confused Su Xuan further. He didn’t remember having such elderly colleagues. "Haha! Alright, alright, we won’t keep you in suspense," one of them said. "We’re all shareholders of Kangnai." The two old men introduced themselves. One was Kangnai’s fourth-largest shareholder, and the other was the sixth-largest. "So, what brings the two of you to see me?" Deeply puzzled, Su Xuan invited them into the reception hall and had Butler Liu brew them some tea. "We have indeed come to trouble you about an important matter." The two men took a sip of tea, smacking their lips in appreciation. They clearly enjoyed the tea at Su Xuan’s home. "What is it?" Su Xuan asked. The two old men squinted, scrutinizing Su Xuan meticulously before asking in near-perfect unison, "Are you selling your shares in Kangnai?"
