The Scumbag Attackers Regretted It Deeply After My Death - Chapter 44

After that particular drama, the woman had been active in television playing villainous roles. Later, she suddenly vanished for a long period, and upon her return, her career remained lukewarm. In her previous life, Yao Anna hadn’t paid much attention to her, but thinking back now, it seemed that the second female lead in The Rebirth of the Phoenix had indeed been played by Guan Luoxue.

The sound of the woman scolding the assistant director, Xie Chengfeng, drifted in from outside. The noise gave Yao Anna a headache and ignited a spark of fury in her heart. She was already in a foul mood tonight; coming back to the hotel only to encounter this disgusting farce was the last straw. She stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.

The door swung open, and the shouting outside ceased instantly. The three people involved turned to look. Seeing Xie Chengfeng being lectured by Guan Luoxue like a misbehaving grandson, Yao Anna’s brows knitted slightly. She began to wonder how Xie Chengfeng had ever secured the position of assistant director.

Despite the commotion, Director Zou was nowhere to be seen; he likely wasn’t in the hotel.

Seeing Yao Anna finally show her face, Guan Luoxue raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, “Oh, young people these days are getting more and more rude and uneducated. They have no idea how to respect their seniors.”

Is something wrong with this woman?

Did playing villains too often make her lose her mind?

Yao Anna stared coldly at Guan Luoxue, her red lips parting slightly. “Are you done shouting?”

“If you aren’t, go shout somewhere else. You’re disturbing my rest. It’s annoying.”

Guan Luoxue: “…”

She seemingly hadn’t expected Yao Anna to dare speak in such a tone. When she recovered, her expression became extremely ugly.

Her young assistant beside her couldn’t hold back anymore. She stepped forward, pointing a finger at Yao Anna’s nose and lecturing, “Hey! What’s wrong with you? Do you even know the rules of this industry? Our Sister Luoxue entered the business much earlier than you; she is your senior—”

Yao Anna didn’t care to listen to her nonsense. She scratched her ear and interrupted, “And?”

The assistant choked on her words. She put her hands on her hips, adopting a condescending posture. “It is an honor for you that our Sister Luoxue wants to switch rooms with you. I advise you not to be ungrateful!”

Yao Anna raised an eyebrow. She could see it now—this assistant was just as delusional as her boss. Unless she was terminally stupid, she wouldn’t be saying such idiotic things.

At this point, Yao Anna’s patience had reached its limit.

She reached out, grabbed the assistant’s pointing finger, and snapped it inward. A crisp crack—the sound of bone breaking—echoed through the quiet hallway, followed immediately by the woman’s agonized scream. The assistant’s face turned as pale as paper.

The Omega’s movement was so swift that both Guan Luoxue and Xie Chengfeng were stunned.

Immediately after, the woman’s voice drifted over, laced with a chilling coldness.

“I hate it when people point at me. This is just a warning. Next time, it won’t be this simple.”

With that, Yao Anna turned back into her room and slammed the door shut!

“BANG!”

The sound of the slamming door made Guan Luoxue and Xie Chengfeng flinch. The assistant wailed like a ghost, howling in pain while begging Guan Luoxue to avenge her. Guan Luoxue’s face was dark as stagnant water. She stared fixedly at the closed door, humiliated that she had actually been intimidated by a young girl who hadn’t even been in the industry for three years.

Meanwhile, Xie Chengfeng stared at the door in a daze. The words Director Zou had told him previously echoed in his ears:

“You’re asking if Anna is easy to get along with? Haha, let me tell you, the suspense film ‘Don’t Easily Test Human Nature’—Anna’s first lead role—was my masterpiece. Don’t be fooled by her aggressive beauty; her temperament is actually very good. She’s a gentle, soft-spoken girl. You’ll see once you get to know her; she smiles quite a bit and is easy to work with, just a bit of a slow starter.”

“…”

Returning to reality, Xie Chengfeng began to question his life. This was “easy to get along with”? He suspected Director Zou had a profound misunderstanding of the word “gentle.” Considering this was their first meeting, Yao Anna had broken someone’s finger without a second thought and issued a cold-blooded threat. The display left Xie Chengfeng thoroughly shaken.

Even if the assistant had been disrespectful first, breaking a finger over a disagreement…

Yet, while shaken, Xie Chengfeng also found Yao Anna strangely “cool.” He had been fuming from Guan Luoxue’s scolding earlier, and although Yao Anna hadn’t said much, her actions were like a stinging slap to Guan Luoxue’s arrogant face!

As the old saying goes: To beat a dog, one must look at the master. Yao Anna was truly fierce! She had made the assistant suffer a major loss right in front of Guan Luoxue. Watching the assistant cry until her eyes were swollen, Xie Chengfeng had only one word in mind:

Satisfying!

“Stop crying!”

Guan Luoxue glared at her sobbing assistant, finding her pathetic. The assistant immediately stopped making noise, looking at Guan Luoxue piteously as she sobbed under her breath, “Sister Luoxue, my hand hurts so much…”

Guan Luoxue took a deep breath to suppress her boundless rage. “I’ll take you to the hospital in a moment.”

The assistant nodded, tears streaming down. It was clear she was in genuine pain. Thinking of that crisp sound of bone snapping, Xie Chengfeng’s scalp went numb. Then, he saw Guan Luoxue looking at him with fury.

Xie Chengfeng: “…”

“Assistant Director Xie, when Director Zou returns, please tell him that I am not finished with Yao Anna! My assistant’s injury won’t be for nothing! I demand that the production crew give me an explanation, otherwise…”

At this, Guan Luoxue snorted coldly and tilted her chin up threateningly. “If the crew is heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust!”

“Xiaofang, let’s go!”

After speaking, Guan Luoxue turned on her five-centimeter heels and led her assistant, Xiaofang, away.

Faced with the woman’s threat, Xie Chengfeng had a massive headache. Guan Luoxue was currently backed by Pei Entertainment, and behind them was the massive Pei Group. Pei Entertainment was a rising force in the industry, a key piece in the Pei Group’s expansion into entertainment. Guan Luoxue was among the first batch of female artists they had scouted, and rumors claimed she had a “special” relationship with the General Manager.

Xie Chengfeng sighed at the closed door and turned to leave, intending to call Director Zou to report the incident.

…

The outside world finally fell silent. Yao Anna emerged from the bathroom after her shower, casually drying her damp hair with a towel. She walked barefoot toward the soft bed in the inner room, entirely unaware of the remaining drama outside.

Exhausted after a long day, she lay down and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

6th Floor, A Certain Room

Assistant Director Xie Chengfeng was on the phone with Director Zou, relaying the sequence of events to Zou Zhaoming. Director Zou remained silent for a long time, his voice sounding skeptical.

“Are you sure Anna did this?”

“How could it be fake? Director Zou, what do we do about this?” Xie Chengfeng asked with a miserable face.

The moment had been satisfying, but thinking about the aftermath made his head throb. He almost wished Yao Anna had broken his finger instead.

Director Zou’s voice sounded heavy with fatigue. He sighed deeply and said helplessly, “Nothing to be done! Keep in touch with Guan Luoxue for the next twenty-four hours and ask about the assistant’s condition. Guan Luoxue was personally sent in by the GM of Pei Entertainment, and the Pei Group is one of our biggest investors. If this blows up, it’ll be hard to handle.”

“If Guan Luoxue asks for an explanation, tell her everything will wait until the opening ceremony tomorrow is over; I’ll speak to her personally then. The mess between Anna and Yao Zhenzhen was already loud enough. With the shoot about to start, I don’t want any more trouble. I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let Guan Luoxue affect tomorrow’s ceremony.”

…

3:00 AM, Luoyun Villa

In a massive room, the middle-aged Yao Guangming slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he was momentarily dazed.

Where am I?

Just then, Shen Mengjin, having finished her tasks, pushed the door open. She froze, her eyes meeting the seated Yao Guangming’s in a wide-eyed stare.

Shen Mengjin’s groggy mind cleared instantly. She was silent for a moment, almost thinking Yao Guangming had risen from the dead before remembering the surgery had been a success and he was no longer in danger.

“Mr. Yao, you’re awake. How do you feel? Any discomfort?”

“Secretary Shen?” Yao Guangming was shocked. He shook his head, his gaze confused. “This place is…?”

He only remembered that after watching the video, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand. It hurt terribly, then everything went black and he fainted.

He knew nothing of what happened afterward. The experience felt like a very long dream.

Secretary Shen poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him. She gave a general overview of the past few days, knowing what to say and what to omit. She kept quiet about the part where Yao Anna had prevented Dr. Adams from performing the surgery.

Yao Guangming listened in a daze. Holding the cup with both hands, he took a while to process the information. Frowning, he said, “I see. It seems I owe my life to President Jiang and that specialist. Where is the doctor now? I would like to meet him.”

His heart condition was hereditary; it had plagued his family for generations. To think that in his generation, he had met such a miraculous doctor who could cure it—it made him incredibly emotional.

“That… he…”

Shen Mengjin was about to answer when she remembered Jiang Nian’an’s prior instructions. She paused, looking hesitant and troubled.

Yao Guangming was puzzled by her reaction. After drinking the warm water, some color returned to his pale face.

“Secretary Shen?”

Shen Mengjin pursed her lips and looked into Yao Guangming’s questioning eyes. Her expression became serious. “Do you really want to know who saved you?”

This left Yao Guangming even more confused. He hesitated for a moment before nodding solemnly. “Yes. I am truly grateful to the person who saved me. Secretary Shen, can you give me a chance to repay them?”

He assumed his savior must be an incredibly gifted doctor. This person had freed him from the hereditary disease that had been his greatest burden since childhood, releasing him from the constant fear of sudden death. He could repay such a doctor with money.

Furthermore, because it was hereditary, he wasn’t sure if Yao Zhenzhen had inherited it as well. If he could establish a relationship with this doctor now, it would serve as a safeguard for his precious daughter in the future.
