The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 892 - 891. Aren’t you going overboard?

While answering the question, Ren Xiazhi looked thoughtfully at Tang Shu, always feeling that this sister, who looked like an angel, was holding back some big move.

It wasn’t strange for him to think like that, for it was true that every time she had that expression, someone would be unlucky.

And not just a little unlucky!

"...Sister, what are you up to?"

"Didn’t you say yesterday that the instructors this time around are having a tough time?"

"Uh, did I?"

"Let’s help them out then."

"????"

Half an hour later, Ren Xiazhi finally understood what this "help" really entailed.

In a patch of green undergrowth taller than half a person, three individuals wore hats made of green leaves, perfectly hiding their figures, watching the prepared area ahead and waiting for something.

"Three students are coming, estimated two minutes to reach the encirclement."

"Fire."

With a "bang," the three rushing figures suddenly froze on the spot, while the terminal in front of Ren Xiazhi showed four leisurely moving green dots that instantly accelerated towards the direction of the three red dots.

"The instructors are coming, four of them."

"Three against four—whom do you fancy to win?"

"Uh... the instructors?"

"No, I think it’s the students. Those who have made it this far should not be underestimated."

As the three of them talked, the two groups had already clashed, trading blows back and forth, intermittently interrupted by the sound of gunshots.

The five people engaged in the intense battle over there had no idea that these three onlookers were leisurely concealed in a spot, unblinkingly enjoying the show.

"Are we sure we’re not going to lend a hand?"

"Who do you want to help?"

"The students, of course!"

"Don’t forget, we’re only two kilometers away from the finish line. In a sense, these students are our competitors."

"..."

Ren Xiazhi suddenly fell silent. He couldn’t interfere, but he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing either. Watching seemed to be their only option.

So... the three of them relaxed, sat down in a row, and enjoyed the live performance.

Since the gap between the students wasn’t significant, by the fifth day into the forest, most had reached the edge of the forest. Under Tang Shu and others’ sporadic gunfire, they successfully mixed the remaining six students and instructors into one fray.

The field was a scene of chaos and ruckus.

"Hey, hey, that handsome guy is amazing, managing to fight two instructors single-handedly?"

"Yeah, yeah, the one beside him is not bad either, he’s only slightly less fit than I am."

"There’s still a female student left? My goodness, she must be really good, otherwise she wouldn’t have made it this far!"

The fight was fiery and intense, with both sides suffering losses.

After enjoying the battle for a while, Tang Shu patted her butt and stood up, "Let’s go, they’re about to finish up."

"Alright!"

Fifteen minutes later, the three arrived leisurely at their destination and handed their ID tags to the instructor in charge of registration, attracting a few scrutinizing gazes.

"How did you guys make it out without anyone chasing after you?"

Their demeanor didn’t seem like that of students being assessed, but more like they were on a leisurely hiking trip.

"Are you referring to the people behind us, instructor? Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon."

Ren Xiazhi cracked a big grin, showing off his teeth, looking very innocent.

As soon as he finished speaking, two or three more people stumbled out of the vast forest, and the instructors’ attention was drawn away to attend to the others.

Meanwhile, Tang Shu, who had handed in her tag, was invited by Wen Nuan into a temporarily set up tent.

"Congratulations, you’ve passed the assessment."

"Your expression tells me you’re not surprised at all."

"Of course, you are the only one I recommended."

Wen Nuan’s face read ’my judgment is pretty good’, brimming with confidence, which made Tang Shu’s mouth twitch.

"There must be some special personnel among these 50 trainees, right?"

"Are you talking about Ren Xiazhi, or that Pretty Boy you argued with...?"

"You’ve obviously looked at the surveillance footage."

Knowing they argued, and even knowing Zhou Daniu called him a Pretty Boy!

Tang Shu pulled out a chair in front of her, sat down with a plump, and after five consecutive non-stop days, she was truly exhausted, really wanting to find a bed to sleep on for three days and three nights.

Wen Nuan shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "You have to understand, there will always be societal outcasts everywhere; our place is no exception."

"But I don’t believe you have no solutions at all. Just now I didn’t see that Pretty Boy, what happened to him?"

"Oh, he seems to be a bit unlucky, fell into a trap and passed out, looks like he’s lost his distress flare."

"..."

Tang Shu’s face stiffened, "You may have gone too far, aren’t you afraid their parents will come to you to settle accounts?"

Wen Nuan expressionless: "Excuse me for being blunt, but I think you’re the one who’s gone too far."

Look at what you’ve done in these five days, she has already received plenty of heart-wrenching curses from the instructors.

"..."

A debt to be accounted for.

Tang Shu stood up and headed towards the tent exit without looking back, and before she walked two steps, she was called out by someone from behind.

"Hey, wait, thank you for stepping in during the assessment period."

"...Huh?"

As sharp as Tang Shu was, she was rarely stunned.

What does this mean? As a trainee undergoing assessment, it was only right for her to take action, unless...

"This is a dual-purpose evaluation?"

"Bingo! Correct. How about I treat you to a meal when we get back?"

"..."

Tang Shu felt she was getting depressed, not planning to respond at all.

What she didn’t know was that during this assessment, the instructors who saw yellow smoke were even more depressed than she was, for they not only awaited endless intensified training but also faced the risk of job reassignment.

***

After returning to the capital from the Northwest, Tang Shu felt a sense of everything being different, everything had changed.

This feeling was specifically reflected in the lush greenery of trees on both sides of the street, and the ubiquitous screens throughout the city, where her photos were plastered all over by the COOL brand.

"Is COOL’s summer clothing launching now?"

"Yeah, this summer is arriving a bit earlier, and the beauties have already started wearing dresses!"

Yang Tiantian, wearing a black dress, felt she looked fabulous, even driving a Volkswagen felt like it had a breeze.

"Boss, according to the original plan, you still have five days of leave remaining, are you going to report back to school?"

"No, I refuse."

Tang Shu slumped in the back seat, her eyelids twitching, "Head back to Palm Pavilion first, to sleep."

Having taken a combat bath in the hotel late at night before getting on the plane to the capital, her brain was still not very clear, she was determined not to go to school in this state.

Of course, it was even less likely for her to go to the filming set.

"Alright then, I’ll take you home. Shall I prepare lunch?"

"No need, just make something for yourself. Dinner... wake me up at seven in the evening."

"Sure."

Yang Tiantian, dutiful and responsible, zipped the car towards the direction of Palm Pavilion, excited at heart.
