Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 647: Feeding the Fish?

Hearing this, Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "This place is close to the river. We could just tie him up tightly and throw him into the river to feed the fish."But upon seeing Wang Baobao's expression of gritted teeth and the indifference of the hanging man, Lin Feng added, "But that seems like it would be letting him off too easily."

Lin Feng then immediately turned to Jiang Ran and the other two, saying, "There's nothing else to handle here now."

"The original purpose was just to let Gu Lan see who filmed and released the video."

"You can leave first. Leave this guy to us."

Jiang Ran turned his head, seeking Wang Qingzhao and Gu Lan's opinion.

Gu Lan sobbed, "Alright then, we'll go first."

She was still crying very sadly.

Wang Qingzhao supported her by the arm.

Jiang Ran followed behind the two women.

Of course, before leaving, he turned back and took another look at the man hanging there.

Facing the unknown situation of imminent death, or perhaps a fate worse than death, that man showed not a trace of fear.

His eyes remained fixed on Gu Lan as she left.

That intense, longing gaze, mixed with a complex emotion of reluctance to part—if this were a TV drama, this shot would absolutely be a one-take pass.

The emotion in his eyes was too genuine and raw.

Jiang Ran also had no intention of pleading for this man or anything like that.

Since you dared to secretly film, if you had just kept it to yourself and enjoyed it alone, that would be one thing. But you had to release it.

He must have already mentally prepared himself to face terrifying retaliation.

Adults have to take responsibility for their own actions.

Moreover, Jiang Ran felt he didn't have the capability to protect this man anyway.

It wouldn't be fun if he ended up getting himself burned in the process.

"Still, that tall, good-looking guy... why does he feel so familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before?"

Carrying this sense of familiarity with Lin Feng, the trio left the abandoned factory building together.

And just after stepping out of the factory, not even seven steps away, Gu Lan, who had been crying so hard inside that she needed someone's support, immediately stopped crying. She no longer needed Wang Qingzhao's support.

Furthermore, she immediately pulled a packet of tissues from the right pocket of her down jacket and wiped the tears and tear tracks from her face.

In addition, a wave of cold indifference showed on her face.

She was like a completely different person from the one inside the factory.

"Holy crap, you were crying so tragically in there before... was it all an act?"

Jiang Ran was dumbfounded.

Who says young actors these days have bad acting skills!

These acting skills are way too good!

It turns out she poured all her acting talent into real life, which is why her performances on screen might not be as good.

Gu Lan was also a straightforward person. She said, "Of course it was an act."

Jiang Ran: "Since when did you start acting?"

Gu Lan: "From the very beginning."

Jiang Ran: "This guy is your die-hard fan, he exposed his identity as 'Black Earl,' he did so many things for you... aren't you moved at all?"

Gu Lan tossed her flowing long hair: "Moved? Of course I was a little moved. After all, this kind of high-quality fan is what every celebrity likes and needs the most."

"But he filmed the video. And he released it. Just that one thing has completely erased any feeling of being moved, and is enough to make me hate him for the rest of my life!!!"

Mentioning that man, Gu Lan still gritted her teeth with hatred.

Jiang Ran: "Then I don't get it. Since you weren't moved and actually hated him very much, why were you acting so sad and sorrowful inside?"

Gu Lan gave Jiang Ran a light smile: "Simple. There were two big spenders inside. I was putting on an act for them to see."

"If I revealed my usual self, it would never be beneficial for me."

Jiang Ran: "Then why didn't you put on an act in front of me?"

"Is it because I have no value to use?"

Gu Lan: "Qingzhao is also here. What's the point of me acting anymore?"

"If we had met alone, I might have acted too. After all, my persona—pure and kind—is still pretty easy to win men over with."

Jiang Ran gave her a thumbs-up.

Then he asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

Gu Lan yawned: "Forget about mixing in the entertainment industry. Once that video came out, I realized my reputation collapse was inevitable."

"Now there's a whole pile of contract terminations and lawsuits waiting for me."

"As for the future, I'll still have to try and see if I can make a comeback. After all, this line of work really does make a lot of money."

"Like that Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, I could buy it just like that. Buying one every month would be a piece of cake."

"If I really can't make a comeback, then I'll take the self-media route! Do some live-streaming sales and stuff like that. Sigh! I was really screwed over by this Black Earl."

"What does he mean, 'once I'm out of the entertainment industry, I won't have to do dirty things anymore'?"

"Even if I really don't stay in this industry, I'll still have to do the so-called dirty things of selling my body that he talks about."

"These fans are really a double-edged sword."

Pinching her brow, Gu Lan's pretty face was full of annoyance and distress.

The three of them walked back to the black Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV along the uneven, broken concrete ground.

"It's still good to have money. With money, you can buy whatever you want, do whatever you want."

Gu Lan let out another sigh.

...

Inside the abandoned factory building.

The man with the online alias Black Earl, who had been hung up, was injected with a dose of anesthetic and had already fallen unconscious.

Lin Feng and Wang Baobao ultimately decided not to throw this guy into the river to feed the fish. That would be purely letting him off easy.

Lin Feng was still quite devious. He suggested sending this guy to a gay club.

Let him have a good time being pleasured by a bunch of big, burly gay men.

Wang Baobao agreed. He thought this would indeed be more satisfying than simply throwing him into the river to feed the fish.

Now, the bodyguards carried the unconscious Black Earl out of the abandoned factory.

Only Lin Feng and Wang Baobao remained inside the abandoned factory.

Lin Feng said to Wang Baobao, "This matter is more or less resolved. Although, the ripple effects and impact caused can't really be resolved; we can only wait for time to pass."

Wang Baobao sighed, took a pack of chewing gum from his pocket, put two pieces in his mouth to chew, looking very annoyed.

Lin Feng said, "I just don't get it. Are the security guards in your villa community useless? How could they let him slip in? And he even managed to get onto the balcony of your room..."

Wang Baobao: "There's a saying I now think is very true."

Lin Feng: "Which one?"

Wang Baobao: "A thief only needs to succeed once in a thousand days, but how can you stay on guard for a thousand days?"

"Who could have known in advance that Gu Lan had such a crazy fan?"

"And, I'm just unlucky. Why did it have to be when it was my turn with Gu Lan that he released it?"

Lin Feng smiled without saying a word, rubbing his hands together.

As the two men left the abandoned factory, the sunlight was intense, as if foretelling that after their great ordeal, good fortune must follow.

...

After Jiang Ran and the two women got in the car, the bespectacled girl drove.

The car drove to a restaurant in the city center.

Gu Lan seemed to have reserved a private room here.

Jiang Ran was also among the invited. He checked the time; it was just past 12 noon.

Perfect timing for a free meal.

Getting out of the car, Gu Lan still wore black sunglasses and a thick scarf.

She was clearly afraid someone might recognize her and cause unnecessary trouble.

The private room was on the third floor.

After entering the private room, the bespectacled girl contacted the front desk to start serving the pre-ordered dishes, and then she prepared to leave the room.

Jiang Ran was puzzled and asked her, "Aren't you staying to eat together?"

The bespectacled girl didn't answer. Instead, Gu Lan, who was sitting in a chair, spoke in a rather icy tone: "She's just my assistant. There's a distinction between superior and subordinate, understand?"
