Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 124: The final preparation

I feel like I had involved the Mc in quite a bit of mess of his own and ignored the protagonist fully. But now, that all of his problems have been busied, it is time to destroy the life of the protagonist.

*****

Wei Jun entered the small gang bar that led to Zi Huan's shop. Wei Jun got a call from Zi Huan ten minutes ago telling him that his order was ready. Now that Wei Jun had gotten a lot of problems off his back like his grandfather and his fiancée, he could now focus on his real target who was honestly easy mode compared to the other two.

Sun Ruan was busy investigating the matter of the attack on him. Although he knew whose Qi it was, he didn't go to the sect guns blazing which Wei Jun guessed was because of his assailant's special status which Wei Jun didn't know what it was.

As for Li Yu, she wouldn't attack him any time soon because now that he had revealed he could go against 'Qi empowerment realm' cultivators, even she would need to redo some of her plans.

That only left one more headache and that was Run Long. Wei Jun had done all that he could to prevent him from meeting the heroines. He himself kept Liu Yu busy so she would only remain focused on him, he also kept his eye on Lin Ruan who had now successfully figured out who attacked her once he gave her the unlocked phone of the mercenary.

As for Xia Lu, he didn't even want to think about her being with Run Long because it made him angry for some reason so he paid special attention to her.

That only left the four side heroines. Quan Li was almost in the bag so he didn't need to worry about that. Chen Na already hated Run Long to some extent, and Wei Jun simply helped intensify that hate instead of love brewing between them.

That only left the two other heroines who Wei Jun had arranged to be in Lin Ruan's company, keeping them so busy that they didn't even have time to properly have a bathroom break. Still, he was careful enough to assign some guards to them in case they came even close to Run Long for any reason.

And today, his preparations were complete. There was nothing left to prepare. All he needed was to execute all of his plans at once and Run Long would be finished in just a few days.

As Wei Jun entered the shop, Zi Huan, who was tending to some weapons smiled and said, "Welcome, my number one customer. I am happy to see you are as eager as I am for the beauty of the century."

Wei Jun simply smiled and went over to the counter.

Zi Huan, without saying a word, first took out a wooden box. He placed it on the table and said, "It wasn't easy but I managed to do what you wanted me to."

Wei Jun opened the box and couldn't help but smile. Inside the box was a set of needles, acupuncture needles to be exact, and the same pair along with the box belonged to none other than the protagonist.

Wei Jun had swiped this box from the Na family banquet when he bumped into Run Long, taking his class and this box as well.

"And, will it do what I want?" Wei Jun asked as he picked up one of the needles.

"Touch it however you want, no reaction. But slight contact with the bloodstream, and paralyzes the person for a few hours. The person wouldn't die but the poison would still hurt a lot. No danger to the person as long as there are no preexisting problems." Zi Huan explained. Wei Jun smiled and put the needle back in.

He then turned to Zi Huan, waiting for the main attraction. Zi Huan understood his intentions clearly and sighed. He took out another, flatter wooden box and opened it while he said, "This took a fortune to be made but I assure you, you wouldn't be dissatisfied."

Wei Jun left the shop and took out his cell phone. He called Noh Tian and the call was connected immediately. Before Noh Tian could even speak, Wei Jun said, "Tell him where to find her tomorrow."

As soon as his instructions were finished, he ended the call and entered his car. He left for the studio, the substituted one since the last one was destroyed. Everyone was curious as to why they had to change the workplace so suddenly but no one asked any questions.

As Wei Jun entered the small ten-story building, that belonged to the Ruan family and Lin Ruan was kind enough to lend it to him, he headed to the lift and made his way to the top floor where his office was.

He entered the office to already find all the necessary people there. The cast, the producers, the editing team, and everyone else connected to the movie.

The movie was done and all that was left was to launch it. Wei Jun quietly took his seat and said, "Be prepared to launch the trailer tomorrow. The actual launch would be a month later."

Wei Jun didn't even see the movie that everyone was prepared to show him and barked his orders. The others were a little tense about this new set of institutions since they weren't prepared for a global launch.

Wei Jun could see the tension and the cause of the worry on their faces and said, "I will deal with that. You must be prepared. Now leave, except for the cast, everyone leaves."

They all exchanged stares but in the end, did what Wei Jun asked them to do. Once they left, Wei Jun turned to the rest and said, "I have an interview scheduled for all of us tomorrow. After three hours of the trailer release, we do a show and advertise our movie. Everyone, have your best smiles on your faces. Praise each other, and even the crew.

If they ask you a negative question that probes the work ethics, I will deal with it so just direct it to me."

They all nodded and Wei Jun dismissed them as well. Once they were all gone, Wei Jun busied himself with work but made sure to keep his earpiece active.

There was one problem that directors or movie owners often faced and that was the movie pirating. Wei Jun kept an eye on everyone who had access to the movie with the help of Li Wei and the intelligence team.

The crew earlier wasn't just worried about the short time frame for the launch, some of them were also worried that with just one month until the launch, there wouldn't be much time for them to smuggle some copies and make them copyrighted.

Of course, Wei Jun had faced that problem many times before and kept his set locations a secret until the last day so none of them would be able to arrange for any external factors and recordings.

And now that the movie was in the building, and many had access to it, there was a strong chance that some would try to sell it to copyright the movie. Wei Jun didn't want that so he kept his eye on everyone. Even the editing team because that team had the most access to the movie.

Sure enough, his suspicion stood corrected as he picked up four individuals, two from the editing team and two others from two different teams trying to download copies from the sole servers but from different locations.

Wei Jun simply smiled and let them do what they wanted. Soon, when they were done and left the buildings at different times, Wei Jun also left to follow one of them. He had Hui Ying follow one more while the rest of the two would be dead even without Wei Jun's interference because of the people they were dealing with.

As Wei Jun arrived at the location of his target's meet. He entered a coffee shop and saw the chief of the editing team meeting a man. They began to watch the movie but they were surprised because the downloaded movie wasn't the movie Wei Jun had filmed.

The chief editor panicked while the other man became angry and began to yell at the chief editor. They drew attention from the café and the scene went on for quite a while.

Once they were finished, and the chief editor left the café distraught, Wei Jun followed him. As soon as the chief editor approached his car, Wei Jun silently approached him and tapped him on his back.

The chief editor turned around in a panic only for a knife to pierce him by the side of his neck as Wei Jun grabbed his mouth with his other hand.

Soon, the man bled out after slowly falling down. Wei Jun grabbed him before he could and placed him in his car. Wei Jun then used a C-4 charge and set the timer to forty seconds before he quietly left the area.

As soon as his car left the area, an explosion was heard and many people were alarmed by the situation. Before the authorities could get involved, Wei Jun was miles away from the scene.

He received a call from Hui Ying, telling him her job was done and she made sure to not use Qi. Then he received a call from Li Wei telling him that the gangs, with whom the last two thieves were dealing, had decided to spare them and told them to get the real recording.

Wei Jun sighed and turned his car around to make his way to the last of the thieves.
