Lin Xiao knew exactly what kind of family the Gu family was, and better than anyone else.
In Modu, only the Gu family and the Dongfang family were on equal footing. Below these two, no one else truly mattered – not in Modu, but outside, they were still influential.
It was simply that the Gu and Dongfang families were too large.
Not only were they large, but their relationship was also deeply intertwined, with multiple instances of intermarriage. Technically, these two families had become one great family.
However, both were so immense that merging was impossible, so they could only cooperate.
Director Chen, from behind Lin Xiao, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lin, you shouldn't get involved in this messy affair..."
"Alright, if you still don't understand, then your brains aren't working. Don't disturb the crew's work." Lin Xiao waved his hand, and a wave of power sent those who weren't thinking straight away.
This...
The crew was even more stunned.
These people were actually sent away by Lin Xiao's few words?
That was the Gu family!
"Director Chen, Mr. Gu won't harm innocent people, will he?"
Someone spoke up.
Others couldn't even be bothered to speak, simply starting to pack their belongings and prepare to leave. They dared not stay in this film crew any longer.
"What's going on? Is Mr. Gu that terrifying?" Ye Qing also walked over, asking strangely, "I remember him being quite a decent person, wasn't he?"
"Decent?"
Hearing Ye Qing's assessment, Director Chen gave a wry smile. "Decent to you, perhaps. But... for the rest of us, it's not necessarily so... you haven't experienced enough."
Ye Qing's acting and looks were indeed top-notch, but why had she remained lukewarm, only a second-tier star?
It was simple.
She hadn't caught Mr. Gu's eye.
Only those who caught Mr. Gu's eye could ascend to the first tier. Only those who caught Mr. Gu's eye and were particularly to his liking could become top stars.
Sister Shuang was one of them.
Not only was she a top star, but she was also a confidante of Mr. Gu.
This was also why Director Chen had been worried for the past few days...
With Sister Shuang's arrest, the subsequent issues that would be brought to light were a major concern. If Mr. Gu was affected, none of them would be able to escape.
"It seems Mr. Gu's subordinates aren't very capable," Lin Xiao shrugged, then turned to Director Chen. "Director Chen, we can continue filming now."
"Continue?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Director Chen was dumbfounded. How dared Lin Xiao? Did he not know what had happened?
Now that Mr. Gu had come looking for them, how could he possibly have the heart or the courage to continue filming?
Furthermore, he had directly sent Mr. Gu's people away. His heart was filled with unease!
It wasn't just him; only a few people in the entire crew remained calm.
"Daddy, why do these uncles and grandpas look so scared?" Xun'er, pulling on Lin Xiao's hand, asked in a childish voice.
Lin Xiao picked Xun'er up, smiled, and said, "Because they've encountered someone more powerful than themselves, and that person wants to bully them, so they're scared?"
"Then Daddy, aren't you the most powerful person in the world? Can you protect them?"
"Of course I can."
