Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1028 - 1094: The Master of Counter-Showing Off

The name "Bai Riri" almost drove Bai Jingjing crazy.Especially since Lin Hai's cheeky grin at this moment could only be described as a divine artifact for inciting jealousy.

But with so many people around, Bai Jingjing originally intended to embarrass Goddess Zi, so she could only grit her teeth and endure.

Those around might want to laugh at this peculiar nickname but dared not be too overt.

In fact, many present had roughly heard about Bai Jingjing's indiscreet lifestyle.

It's quite normal; in any industry, there are always people who stop at nothing to climb up.

Bai Jingjing's behavior was fairly common in the vast city; the unspoken rules, a matter of mutual consent — ahem — that's of course from Bai Jingjing's perspective.

"Mr. Lin is really amusing." Goddess Zi resisted the urge to laugh as well.

This Bai Jingjing often inexplicably opposed her, Goddess Zi knew that she only wanted to use her to create big news in hopes of promoting herself.

However, Goddess Zi had always maintained her composure and restraint and never engaged in conflicts with Bai Jingjing, leaving Bai Jingjing's plans disappointed.

Today, Bai Jingjing seemed determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.

Furthermore, Lin Hai's shout of "Bai Riri" made her seethe with anger inside.

"Hmph, are you so eager to get into the set?" Bai Jingjing sneered.

Then she looked at Goddess Zi, her gaze malicious, and said sarcastically, "Hey, Goddess Zi, do you know why we're not shooting today?"

"The car technician and two great stunt doubles are hospitalized, so Director Feng Yougang is busy finding replacements temporarily. Afraid of delaying your Little Diva time, it's truly special treatment."

After a pause, Bai Jingjing seemed to have found the rhythm, continuing with small provocations, "What a pity, we could have had a day off, but Director Feng has instructed everyone to stay on set waiting for him to find suitable doubles and technicians."

Upon hearing these words, people around displayed unhappy expressions.

After all, nobody is happy when their rest time is commandeered by a big director, though they wouldn't voice it; the feelings remain vexed inside.

Especially since everyone on set knew this was all done for Goddess Zi alone.

This invisibly drew jealousy from others.

Adding Bai Jingjing's provocation, people around couldn't avoid feeling a bit resentful.

"Damn, people nowadays are truly sinister." Lin Hai frowned; with years of experience in the international underground world, how could he not see through such petty tricks?

But most people around were ordinary, unless someone had ulterior motives, they wouldn't normally associate conspiracy theories.

"By the way, Little Diva, you're so popular, many socialites and celebrities are eager to have some connection with you. Arguably, given your connections, finding a few high-quality stunt doubles and technicians should be no problem, right?"

"Why don't you make a call, do everyone a favor, let everyone rest sooner, and simultaneously relieve Director Feng's dire need, how about that?"

Bai Jingjing seemingly "kindly" proposed.

Goddess Zi frowned; Bai Jingjing was clearly giving her a hard time.

If she refused, it'd stir up dissatisfaction among those around, and if Bai Jingjing agitated it further, they'd surely think she was being pretentious, considering everyone would feel they were in the disadvantaged group, especially against a popular diva.

If she agreed...she had actually just arrived from Xiangjiang to Yanjing recently, rising quickly with her own strength, but her network wasn't significantly developed yet.

If she couldn't find suitable people, Bai Jingjing might still rile others up, saying she was unwilling to make an effort.

Thinking of this, Goddess Zi felt a bit troubled.

"Oh, Goddess Zi, would it be that you're unwilling to help us, the 'lower class' people?" Bai Jingjing deliberately emphasized "lower class" in hopes of inciting sympathy.

A few other men, who seemed to have a good relationship with Bai Jingjing, immediately chimed in loudly, "Yeah, Little Diva, aren't you willing to help us?"

Goddess Zi clenched her teeth, recognizing these tactics.

But facing the "moral coercion" from them, she could only brace herself, preparing to agree.

Just as she was about to agree, Lin Hai jumped in, "Who says there's no car technician or doubles?"

"Why is it you again?"

Bai Jingjing deeply frowned; truth be told, she found Lin Hai extremely annoying right now.

If she wasn't mainly targeting Goddess Zi to see her embarrassed, she would already want to get her "friends from society" to teach Lin Hai a lesson.

With a quick glint in her eyes, Bai Jingjing concocted a plot, improvising, "Oh, you sound so confident, are you the car technician?"

"If not, then stop exploiting Goddess Zi's status to be intimidating here."

Lin Hai secretly shook his head; Bai Jingjing's "cap-tossing" technique was really insidious.

Clearly, this person often harms others with petty tricks, otherwise, she wouldn't play them so well.

Pity, today Bai Jingjing encountered Lin Hai.

Car skills? Lin Hai is unparalleled; South Ring Thirteen Thirteen would kneel instantly seeing Car God Lin.

Countless international car kings, experts had plunged off cliffs, flipped their cars during Fast and Furious contests with Lin Hai; none could surpass the old man.

As for fighting stunt doubles, one needs some martial arts basics to deceive audiences. This requirement may seem high to ordinary people.

But...for Lin, a master who has brushed past Death God and exchanged drinking and courting tips with King Yan, dueling countless experts causing them to bow till they could bow no further, and now retired to urban life — is being a stunt double an issue? Is it difficult?

Bai Jingjing waited eagerly for Lin Hai to show awkwardness, secretly gloating: today, Goddess Zi might finally be embarrassed by her, and this foolish Lin Hai only got in the way for Goddess Zi, haha.

"Wow, actually, Goddess Zi was anxious upon hearing the news of everyone having their rest delayed, worried everyone might be too tired, affecting work. So she asked me to come as the car technician and fighting stunt double."

Lin Hai smiled and said to everyone, cleverly portraying Goddess Zi as a kind-hearted girl through his words.

Usually, he seemed lazy and decadent, appearing to live aimlessly without any particular traits.

But in fact, Lin Hai understood the essential things, including the manipulation of peoples' minds.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingjing's heart leaped with joy; a woman's Sixth Sense intuition told her Lin Hai was only showing off.

Thinking this, Bai Jingjing seized the chance and said, "Really? That's great, the person invited by Diva Zi must be an expert; everyone, thank Diva Zi quickly."

Saying these, Bai Jingjing was actually lifting Lin Hai up first, anticipating him to mess up later, then she'd launch an attack on Goddess Zi, thus defaming her for wasting everyone's feelings and deceiving them, etc.

By then, Goddess Zi would find herself between a rock and a hard place, and Bai Jingjing could then exploit this, stirring news like "Little Diva deceives group actors' feelings, Miss Bai stands up for justice," by then she'd think becoming famous would be easy.

Lin Hai was a passive observer, looking at Bai Jingjing's extremely pretentious performance.

Pity, she wasn't aware that Lin Hai's strength and ability can easily serve as a "reverse pretentiousness expert."
