Ch40 - Successful Sending of a New Order

After the #Master Lai Comments on Lu Xu# supertopic hit the hot search, netizens did not sit idly by—

[@Dynamic Light Wave Biu: Fuck fuck no way, Master Lai actually said Lu Xu has a short life!!! Aaaaaaa I feel a bit of panic. Do you guys remember the situation with Shao Tang and Shi Hongye?]

[My Idol Small Pretty Waist: Oh my god upstairs please don’t scare me. That Shao Tang and Shi Hongye incident really shocked me.]

[@Liu Liu is a Cat: I’m scared too. Is it too late for Lu Xu to go to the hospital or find someone to save his life right now? But it’s no use thinking of past events anymore. He’s only 18 and so young, we can only say that fate is unfair.]

…

After Lai Chengshan posted his Weibo status, the netizens were all very shocked. They couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Lu Xu. Some people even ran over to the #Master Lai Comments on Lu Xu# topic to uniformly light candles for Lu Xu.

Lu Xu was still living quite well. No matter how one looked at it, the netizens coming up to give him praise didn’t seem very auspicious. The fans were naturally unhappy and immediately looked for justice on Lu Xu’s behalf—

[@Empress Loli Loves Lu Xu: You guys want to poison us. Our family’s Xu son is competing well, what do you mean by lighting candles? And what era is this that anyone with a master’s name can just casually say such irresponsible words?]

[@The Moon Was Gnawed Bent By Me: I was very curious after seeing that Weibo post. If it were your idol, friend, or even relative who was being mourned by others like this, would you not be angry? @Boundless Beneficence Master Lai V You’re a public figure, is it good to engage in such alarmism?]

[@I’ll Bet On Tomorrow With My Youth: As a fan, I really can’t stand it. Our Xu ge is long-lived and healthy okay? Since you’ve brought my Xu’s name onto the hot search, then add a voting link. When you walk by don’t walk past, come with me and pick Xu ge to debut.]

…

Lu Xu’s fans didn’t have a specific organisation, most of them loosely spread around. But even that was not an amount to sneeze at; it didn’t take long for them to start discussing with the people busy giving likes on the page.

They truly appreciated Lu Xu and only felt that this master was engaging in alarmism. There were even allegations that he was using this to rub off of Lu Xu’s popularity.

The netizens who were busy lighting candles didn’t really hope Lu Xu would meet with an unfortunate event; they only thought these fans were too young—

[@Dynamic Light Wave Biu: Instead of spending time tearing into strangers on the internet, Lu Xu’s fans should spend this time appreciating Lu Xu. Support if you need to support, confess if you need to confess, or else you guys will really regret it later on. You guys don’t need to rush to tear me apart. This is exactly what happened with the Shao Tang and Shi Hongye incidents. You’ll know how amazing Master Lai is after seeing it (Web Link)]

The Shao Tang and Shi Hongye the netizens were talking about were young artists who had already passed away.

One was an actor and the other a singer. Neither of them was very popular after debuting for a few years. When they were about to become popular through some decent works after much difficulty, they both suddenly left this world.

Coincidentally, both of them had passed away due to car accidents.

Car accidents happened from time to time, and tens of thousands of people died on average from traffic accidents every year.

If it hadn’t been for Lai Chengshan’s prediction, everyone would have felt that the two car accidents were unfortunate at most, and wouldn’t have paid too much attention to it.

“What prediction?”

In the director’s lounge, Fan Zeng was currently hurriedly explaining to Lu Xu the terrifying origins of Lai Chengshan’s Weibo language. He couldn’t help but raise the topic of the predictions regarding those two people at that time.

Lu Xu listened at the side with great interest, even urging Fan Zeng to go on.

It looked like this child was really open-minded.

After seeing Lu Xu’s reaction, Fan Zeng wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t help but smile wryly before going on to say, “After Shao Tang and Shi Hongye’s accidents, some people raised the fact that Lai Chengshan had mentioned on Weibo previously that they would meet with accidents. It would have just been something he said in hindsight if it was after the incidents, but the strange thing was that he had posted the Weibo before the accidents…”

Predicting someone else’s death, and that someone was even a celebrity. This event was naturally a hot topic.

No one knew how many people had begun paying attention to Lai Chengshan because of this incident. He was even considered a real master. Since then, Lai Chengshan had officially stepped into the limelight, and had become an internet celebrity and a master of metaphysics.

With the support of these two incidents, it was no wonder so many people would believe him when he said Lu Xu wouldn’t live long.

“He’s just deliberately making himself look mysterious. It’s just a sham.” After Ji Xiunian heard this evaluation, he couldn’t resist looking towards Lu Xu to see his reaction. He was afraid he would worry over this.

But Lu Xu merely smiled, as if he didn’t care at all.

Fan Zeng was very angry at the sight of Lai Chengshan using Lu Xu’s name to go on the hot search. He clamoured to reveal this fake’s real face.

“It’s okay, since we already know he’s a fake, what’s the point of clashing with him.” Lu Xu was very open-minded and didn’t seem to have any intention of contending with him.

He glanced at the time, picking up Ba Mei as he stood up. “Isn’t there a recording session tomorrow? Let’s rest well and not think about this event for now.”

Fan Zeng was still very angry; he had thought Lu Xu, as the party being told he had a short life, would also be angry. However, the other person’s emotional state was stable and his mood couldn’t be any better. He couldn’t help but ask in curiosity, “Lu Xu ah, aren’t you angry after he cursed you so much?”

Lu Xu shook his head. “No, he isn’t a god who can make anything he says come true. He can say whatever he wants. Why should I bother with it so much?”

The youth’s tone was light and unburdened. His watery peach blossom eyes shone like starlight. His face was really too sunny, and his skin pale to the point of glowing. He was so attractive even his hair showed his youth and boundless vitality.

Fan Zeng looked at this Lu Xu and he felt much better. “You’re right, he can say whatever he wants. Anyways, you’re only 18 while he’s already 72. Does he not understand who will leave first?”

Fan Zeng merely said this because he had been disgusted by Lai Chengshan’s words. When Lu Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but curve the corners of his lips up. “Right.”

Ji Xiunian also comforted Lu Xu at the side. “This kind of fake will be exposed eventually. You’ve been busy all day, go back and rest early. Just focus your attention on the competition from now on; we will take care of the rest so don’t worry.”

“Thank you Nian ge.” Lu Xu smiled at this. It seemed like his mood really wasn’t too affected by this, so the others felt more at ease.

No matter what, Lu Xu was currently someone with a management company. Bai Ze would naturally not sit there idly and ignore it after he had been suddenly accused of having a short life.

Not long after Lai Chengshan had posted his Weibo, Yao Guai Entertainment had already come out to remind him to remain cautious.

But not only did Lai Chengshan not retract his post, he even posted another Weibo—

@Boundless Beneficence Master Lai V: For the sake of the face of your company’s artists, I will remind you out of goodwill to buy life insurance for Lu Xu. Even if it can’t return his life to him, at least the company won’t have to deal with too much financial damage and even gain some money from it. Aiya, I’ve already said this, so I don’t know if any company would be willing to sell insurance to you.

“Fuck this person is poisonous, he even curses Xu ge in his words. Laozi wants to tear him apart immediately.”

“Calm down, that person is obviously trying to rub off some popularity. You can’t go, the company won’t agree to it.”

…

Lu Xu had just arrived at the door of his dorm when he heard Xu Haoming talking with Song Zhe inside.

When he pushed the door open and looked, he saw Xu Haoming’s face bulging with anger, clearly outraged by the injustice on his behalf.

As soon as he saw Lu Xu come in, Xu Haoming immediately stood up and rushed over. “Xu ge, are you okay?”

Lu Xu put Ba Mei down on the ground and smiled without any hesitation at him. “I’m okay, everything is fine.”

“Then that’s good.” Xu Haoming felt a little better after seeing that his mood was still pretty good.

Song Zhe also didn’t think he would see a prediction about Lu Xu’s short life after casually refreshing his Weibo feed. He couldn’t help consoling him. “Xu ge, spiritual people like this are all scammers. You don’t need to mind it.”

“Right right, I bet this is just a marketing strategy. I don’t know why anyone would believe him.” Han Tianyu also hurriedly expressed his views. The three of them looked even angrier than the main person involved.

Lu Xu squinted, feeling somewhat touched. “All right, that’s enough, I’m really fine. It’s late so let’s rest early, we have to record a new episode tomorrow. If we’re not careful our faces will be swollen and it won’t look good on camera, ai.”

“Okay okay okay, wash up and sleep!”

Seeing that he really was fine, everyone skipped over the topic and didn’t mention it anymore, changing the subject.

Lu Xu took his phone out and discovered that many people had sent him the news. Even Yao Guai Entertainment’s staff had consoled him—

[Front Desk Xiao Ai: @SS-Lu Xu Xuxu are you okay? Don’t take to heart what that scammer said, be safe and well]

[Secretary Zhang: I reported those feudal superstitions. Not because of anything else, I just don’t like how he’s using our Xu son to create hot topics]

[Su Mubai: @Lu Xu Xiao shidi, let me tell you, he really is a huge scammer. Director Bai already sent people to contact the victims; you’ll see him get exposed very quickly]

…

This was the second time tonight Lu Xu had seen someone else say Lai Chengshan would be exposed.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly and he squinted at his phone with one hand supporting his cheek, as if he were expecting something.

Lu Xu first replied to everyone’s messages of concern out of courtesy, then opened up the ‘Grim Reaper app’ and sent a message to the entire bureau—

[SS-Lu Xu: I’ve discovered stowaway Lai Chengshan, requesting a warrant for his arrest]

Very quickly, the other side replied—

[Your new client ‘Lai Chengshan’ is about to ascend to heaven. Please pick up your order as soon as possible at the western Huanshan Highway.]

[SS-Lu Xu: Received mission. Requesting cover.]

Lu Xu put his phone away and changed his shoes. He lifted his head and blinked at Ba Mei.

“Meow…” The Ba Mei who had received an order immediately stood up and ran over to the door. It jumped up and clasped the doorknob with its paws. It opened the door and didn’t even look back as it ran out.

“Aiya, I’ll go look for Ba Mei!”

Before the other three could say anything, Lu Xu had already gotten up and chased after Ba Mei. He didn’t turn around before shutting the door.

This wasn’t the first time Ba Mei had acted like this, so the others didn’t feel like there was anything strange going on. They thought he would just come back after Ba Mei was found.

Lu Xu chased after Ba Mei and went downstairs, heading straight for the storage room downstairs.

“Master Lu Xu, are you starting your work for today?” Seeing that Lu Xu had changed into all black, the F4 couldn’t help but ask in curiosity.

“Yes.” After Lu Xu finished changing, he pulled the window open and jumped out.

The wind howled and the trees at the side of the road were bent over by its force. Their leaves swayed with the wind.

After leaving the building, Lu Xu circled around to the side of the road and saw a jet-black Ducati motorcycle parked there. He sat down with his long legs and tied Ba Mei to his waist. He didn’t forget to also give it a small helmet.

Seeing the heavy rain approaching, Lu Xu lowered his body and started the engine. He drove off against the wind.

nao: ba mei with a mini cat-sized helmet on a motorcycle…my heart ㅠㅠ

Tofu: Why is Lai Chengshan so annoying omggg

Chunky: I could imagine the disbelief in that fake eyes AHAHAHA, haaa that is satisfying just to imagining it.????????
