Chapter 60: Female Star and Assassin
On the highway leading to Yuncheng, a luxurious chauffeur-driven car sped along. Inside the car were two women besides the driver.
"Xingchen, why are you in such a rush to go to Yuncheng? Your song hasn't been recorded yet," the slightly older woman asked, her tone filled with helplessness and curiosity.
Today, Xingchen suddenly woke up and decided not to record the song, insisting on coming to Yuncheng instead.
Looking out the window, Xingchen, with delicate features, turned her head to glance at the woman beside her.
"Sister Hong, have you talked to Director Jiang about the male lead in the movie?"
"I did, but Director Jiang said it's not possible."
Sister Hong's expression was filled with frustration as she continued, "Because Director Jiang owes a huge favor to the male lead in this movie. He just returned from overseas and is eager to gain fame in the Yan Kingdom.
"So, Director Jiang can only arrange a supporting male character.
"Xingchen, who is this Su Yu? Why haven't I heard of him? Is he an internet celebrity?"
Today, Sister Hong felt like a lifetime's worth of helplessness was coming her way. Being Xingchen's manager was truly exhausting.
Xingchen suddenly decided to come to Yuncheng. She wanted to fight for the role of the male lead in a movie she had never even heard of before. It made Sister Hong think that Xingchen has secretly found someone she liked and wanted to promote them.
But the key point was, if Xingchen really wanted it, with the power of the Ran family in the imperial capital and Xingchen's status as an A-list star, it shouldn't be difficult, right?
However, the other party insisted on this movie directed by Jiang, which left her extremely puzzled.
A trace of disappointment appeared on Xingchen's delicate face. Did she have to be killed by that man in this lifetime again?
"You dare have a connection with Ye Tianchen as well. I'm furious, you must die!"
Those were the words that man said to her in a certain lifetime.
She was so wronged!
In that lifetime, she had only filmed a movie with a crew, was that considered a connection? Why did it matter?
Not to mention that he hadn't even touched her hand, let alone her clothes.
The key was that the movie had only been filmed for two days, and this terrifying man found her and killed her.
If Su Yu knew her thoughts, he would definitely shake his head.
Back then, Su Yu, in order to fulfill the system's mission and become the Ruler, worked diligently as an assassin. He aimed to eliminate all the heroines in the shortest possible time.
However, in that particular lifetime, he found that heroine had become cunning, and it took him quite a bit of effort to kill her.
When he came to kill Xingchen, he found out that she was already in the same crew as Ye Tianchen. He instantly felt that his reputation as an assassin had been tarnished.
That's why he angrily said those words.
Of course, what made Xingchen helpless was that in all the other lifetimes, no matter whether she filmed a movie with Ye Tianchen or not, Su Yu still wanted to kill her!
What did this man really want?
Five lifetimes, she had pondered over five lifetimes.
But gained nothing.
Finally, she decided to approach Su Yu, preferably to have a relationship with him, so maybe he won’t kill her anymore.
‘But, to be honest, his handsome face and cold demeanor really resemble the prince I dreamed of meeting,’ Xingchen shyly thought to herself.
Despite being a top-tier star in the Yan Kingdom, deep down, she yearned for a prince and princess love story.
Privately, she often read romance s and fantasized about meeting her own prince charming.
Especially those steamy romance s, they made her cry when she read them before going to sleep.
"Alright, let's leave it at that," Xingchen finally spoke up.
According to her memory, she was safe during this period of time. That means she will be killed during the filming of the movie, regardless of her involvement.
"Then let me take care of you during that time! I don't want to die again in this lifetime!"
Xingchen murmured to herself.
"Sister Hong, did you get the invitation for the party hosted by the Lin Group?"
"Yes, your father managed to obtain it through his connections. We'll be able to get it once we arrive in Yuncheng," Sister Hong replied.
"Great! Do you think this outfit is suitable for the party?"
"It's more than suitable! You can wear this outfit to an awards ceremony! Is it because of that guy named Su Yu?
"Xingchen, I have to advise you. You're now an A-list star and still known for your purity. Even if you're dating, you can't be too flashy. Be careful of the paparazzi," Sister Hong warned seriously.
"Don't worry, Sister Hong. I know how to handle myself," Xingchen nodded.
Who cares about being cautious!
What's the use of fame!
I just want to stay alive!
"Hoo..."
On the same highway, in an intercity bus, Elena was wearing oversized dark clothes, with a hat and a mask, completely concealing her stunning face and devilish figure.
"Hmph! Red Devil, I will definitely annihilate you all!"
Elena thought fiercely in her mind.
This time, because she was eager to come to the Yan Kingdom, she relaxed her vigilance in hiding her whereabouts, and she was discovered by the Red Devil organization.
Fortunately, she was powerful and experienced in concealing her tracks, so she managed to shake off their pursuit and arrived safely in the Yan Kingdom.
The Red Devil organization is her enemy!
Her parents had died at their hands. So, her lifelong wish was to eradicate the Red Devil organization. But this wish was difficult to fulfill for her.
Unless...
That man took action.
An image flashed through her mind.
When that man was chasing her, he casually destroyed the headquarters of the Red Devil organization and effortlessly killed her enemies.
With that in mind, she looked up towards the direction of Yuncheng. It seemed like the charismatic and dashing figure of Su Yu was floating there.
A glimmer of anticipation and shyness flickered in her eyes. Even if she is an assassin, she is still a woman!
