Just as Huo Wu quit Weibo, a call came in on the phone interface.

Huo Wu checked it and found out that it was Gu Yan calling.

Right after she accepted the call, Gu Yan’s booming voice came through, “Cousin, you saw the Weibo hot search, right?”

“Yeah.”

Gu Yan said proudly on the other end of the phone, “Don’t worry, no one will dare to mess with you anymore.”

Huo Wu smiled silently. The world had never been short of people who were heedless and weren’t afraid of death, so people who wanted to provoke her were still expected to provoke her. However, she couldn’t utter such statements to Gu Yan, lest she’d spoil his fun. She thought for a moment and took the initiative to say, “First Cousin, can you do something for me?”

Gu Yan had been plagued with guilt toward Huo Wu because of the amusement park incident earlier, thinking that they failed to protect her, so hearing her asking for a favor, he immediately busily patted his chest and assured her, “Of course. Even if you want me to climb mountains of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I’m willing to do so.”

Gu Yan even recited lines that could strike you dumb from a TV series, making Huo Wu smile despite herself.

“Here’s the thing, First Cousin. I want the female leads to《Clouds of Smoke》, 《The Overbearing Imperial Concubine》, and 《Northern Wolf》.”

Huo Yuqin got the starring roles in these two movies and one TV series that Huo Wu mentioned in her previous life and became a big hit afterwards. Also, 《Clouds of Smoke》would later make Huo Yuqin successfully bag the crown of Queen of the Qinglin Film Festival.

But this time, Huo Wu would not leave such an opportunity to her. She must obtain all the resources that originally belonged to Huo Yuqin and leave none of them for her as compensation for the amusement park incident previously.

Did Huo Yuqin think she wouldn’t fight back?

She now had backers and connections. If she was again suppressed by Huo Yuqin, then she’d be a laughingstock.

Huo Wu adhered to the principle, if you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But if someone offended her, she was bound to fight back, and it wouldn’t be the usual counterattack but a vicious one. Presently, snatching all the resources that could make Huo Yuqin rise to fame was her first step in fighting back.

Gu Yan agreed straight away on the other end of the line, “So, you’re asking for these. It’s a piece of cake. Don’t worry, I will get them all for you. But Cousin, won’t you exhaust yourself by participating in so many dramas?”

“Cousin, my mind is free of worries. Don’t worry about it.” Huo Wu didn’t intend to play the role in all three dramas. She was going to give the role of the female lead of one of them to someone she found pleasing to the eye. The lead actress of 《Throbbing》previously wasn’t bad. In short, even if she didn’t act herself, she wouldn’t leave the opportunity to Huo Yuqin. Looking far throughout this year, these three were the only ones that could be considered good scripts. As for the rest, even if Huo Yuqin acted, she wouldn’t cause a big splash.

“That’s great.” After saying that, Gu Yan thought of something and said, “By the way, Cousin, someone indeed directed those two middle-aged women, because they received money from others. That’s why they slandered you like that.”

Hearing his report, Huo Wu restrained a smile from escaping her lips. “Cousin, who’s behind it?”

“It’s a man named Xiang Hui. But Cousin, you know, because this incident isn’t a major crime, he will go to jail for a few days at most and will come out shortly after.”

Hearing Xiang Hui’s name coming from Gu Yan’s mouth, Huo Wu wasn’t in the least bit surprised.

Xiang Hui was nothing more than a dispensable person in Huo Yuqin’s hands. Although he was a pawn not worth mentioning, he wasn’t completely innocent.

That being said, if Huo Yuqin was the real mastermind, then he was an accomplice.

Huo Wu’s expression turned two shades colder. “Cousin, I don’t want to make it easy for him.”

Gu Yan immediately answered, “Okay. Leave this to me. I’ll get it done for you.”

For Gu Yan, making Xiang Hui’s life difficult in the future was just child’s play, and Huo Wu wasn’t the least bit worried about the weight of Gu Yan’s promise.
