Chapter 377: Qingcheng, Don’t Beg Him
Liu Qingcheng’s face fell, and she quickly explained, "How could I possibly compare to Director Wang? Of course, Director Wang is much better at giving direction."
Wang Jing snapped, "Then what are you waiting for? Get out!"
Liu Qingcheng trembled in fear, not daring to say a word.
Liu Qingcheng was afraid of Wang Jing, but Lin Ruoxi wasn’t the least bit scared.
Lin Ruoxi said with a grave expression, "Director Wang, it’s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a closed room to go over a scene. If word of this were to get out, it wouldn’t look good, would it?"
A faint smile touched Wang Jing’s lips. "Only the three of us know. Who’s going to tell? Qingcheng, surely your friendship with Miss Lin isn’t fake?"
Liu Qingcheng hastily shook her head. "Of course our friendship isn’t fake! What Ruoxi and I have is more precious than gold."
"Then that settles it. Since you won’t go spreading rumors, how could anyone know I’m directing Miss Lin privately?"
Liu Qingcheng was all tangled up in his words, completely at a loss for how to refute him.
The corners of Wang Jing’s mouth curled upward. ’Trying to outsmart me? So naive!’
"Alright, enough said. Qingcheng, you need to leave, now. You know how precious the roles for the female lead and second lead are. There are a lot of eyes watching out there!"
If it weren’t Lin Ruoxi being asked to stay behind, Liu Qingcheng would have left without hesitation. She would pay any price to keep the role of the second female lead.
But in this world, there are no ’what ifs’.
Liu Qingcheng was already beginning to regret bringing Lin Ruoxi to Wang Jing’s birthday party.
Under immense pressure, Liu Qingcheng shot Lin Ruoxi a look, giving a barely perceptible shake of her head.
Lin Ruoxi understood Liu Qingcheng’s silent warning and said in a firm voice, "Director Wang, I’m sorry, but I think it’s best if you don’t give me private direction. The other actresses outside are already gossiping, and nothing has even happened yet. If you really were to direct me alone, there would be no way to clear my name."
With that, Lin Ruoxi grabbed Liu Qingcheng and turned to leave.
Lin Ruoxi was so decisive that Wang Jing’s expression darkened.
’Since Miss Lin is being so disrespectful, there’s no need to pretend anymore!’
Wang Jing took two steps forward, blocking their way and fixing Lin Ruoxi with a cold stare.
"Miss Lin, you can’t actually be this naive, can you? With so many people vying for the lead role, why do you think I’d give it to you? It’s not for your talent; it’s for *you*. You really don’t know how things work, do you!"
Wang Jing had spelled it out. How could Lin Ruoxi possibly not understand what he meant?
Any other actress would have been cornered by him, gradually sacrificing her principles to protect her role as the female lead.
Unfortunately for him, he was facing Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi said coldly, "It’s just a lead role. I don’t give a damn about it! Since so many people are vying for it, then you should give it to someone else, Director Wang! Give it to whoever is more ’sensible.’ Now, please let us pass. Goodbye—oh, no, I mean farewell."
Wang Jing’s face was terrifyingly dark. Since Lin Ruoxi had already dispensed with all pleasantries, she couldn’t blame him for what came next.
"Miss Lin, what kind of place do you think the Lan Club is? You think you can just come and go as you please? Guards! Seize them!"
With a CLICK, several wolfish security guards stormed in, blocking their escape.
Lin Ruoxi’s face fell. The handful of clumsy self-defense moves she had secretly learned were enough to handle a few girls, but they were no match for these burly security guards.
"Director Wang, what’s the meaning of this? Believe me, I will report you for unlawful confinement!"
Wang Jing sneered. "Unlawful confinement? Heh... Chen Xiaotong is one of my people, and you severely injured her! You must stay behind and accept your punishment!"
Lin Ruoxi and Liu Qingcheng were about to go mad with rage. How could this Wang Jing be so shameless?
A moment ago, he had been adamant that Chen Xiaotong had accidentally injured her own nose, and now, in the blink of an eye, it was their fault?
No longer caring if she offended Wang Jing, Liu Qingcheng explained, "Director Wang, Ruoxi was acting in self-defense. There’s a security camera in the room that recorded everything clearly."
Wang Jing grinned. "There is indeed a camera in the room. However, whether that camera is working or not depends entirely on my whim. Miss Lin, it’s just a bit of fun between a man and a woman. Close your eyes, and it’ll be over in ten minutes. Is it really that hard?"
The two women’s faces turned ashen. They never expected Wang Jing to cast aside even his last shred of decency and be so blunt.
It was clear Wang Jing was determined to have his way with them.
Liu Qingcheng fought back her humiliation and anger, forcing a fawning smile. "Director Wang, Ruoxi really isn’t that kind of person. I’m begging you, please don’t do this to her. I’ll get on my knees, I’ll do anything!"
As she spoke, Liu Qingcheng actually started to kneel.
Lin Ruoxi pulled Liu Qingcheng back to her feet, shouting, "Qingcheng! Don’t beg him! Have some backbone! This is a society ruled by law! We’ll just call the police!"
Saying this, Lin Ruoxi pulled out her phone and unhesitatingly dialed for the police. Then, her expression turned ugly.
Her phone had no signal at all!
The suite was blocking the signal! Or rather, there was a signal jammer in the room!
Wang Jing snorted. "No signal, Miss Lin? Today, not even God himself can save you! Men! Tie her to the bed!"
Clearly, this was not the first time the guards had done something like this.
Although they weren’t qualified to enjoy such a peerless beauty themselves, they could still get a thrill out of copping a feel while subduing her.
The guards advanced on Lin Ruoxi with lecherous intent.
Liu Qingcheng bravely shielded Lin Ruoxi and turned to plead, "Director Wang, you were right before. It’s just a bit of fun between a man and a woman, isn’t it? With the lights off, we’re all the same. I can stay and ’rehearse’ with you. I’m begging you, please let Ruoxi go!"
Wang Jing sneered disdainfully. "Liu Qingcheng, I’ll admit I’ve had my eye on you. But tonight, I only want to play with the Pearl of Luocheng! Grab her!"
"Yes, sir!"
Looking like a pack of Evil Gods and Demons, the guards charged forward, violently shoving aside Liu Qingcheng as she tried to protect Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was just one woman; she was quickly overpowered by the guards and pinned to the bed.
Liu Qingcheng was also restrained, unable to help.
Lin Ruoxi struggled wildly, but she could not break free.
"My husband is a Grandmaster! If you touch me, he’ll kill every last one of you!"
’A Grandmaster?’
Wang Jing just laughed again.
Wang Jing slowly walked to the bedside, his eyes feasting on Lin Ruoxi’s exquisite figure.
"Not even God himself can save you today! You might as well stop struggling. The more you struggle, the more excited I get!"
With that, Wang Jing violently tore at Lin Ruoxi’s clothes, ripping her jacket to shreds and revealing her slender, Yingying waist, which was barely a handful wide.
Wang Jing was utterly captivated, his large hand trembling as it reached for her slender waist.
Tears of humiliation streamed down Lin Ruoxi’s face. She deeply regretted running away from home. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen into such a state, about to be defiled by this disgusting man.
In that moment, the image of Cheng Yuan appeared in her mind.
How she wished Cheng Yuan could appear before her like some peerless hero from a story.
But she knew that was an impossible wish.
Just as Lin Ruoxi gave in to despair, the sound of whirring propellers rapidly approached.
CRASH!
A dark figure shattered the floor-to-ceiling window with a kick and rushed in!
