Chapter 54

"Everyone, look around your seats to see if there's a black, locked briefcase. This is very important. If we don't find it within a minute, don't blame me if it explodes."

Time was short, so Su Yang used the "Great Freedom Demon Sound" to shout, his voice easily drowning out the noise inside. This secret technique had a calming effect, preventing the audience from immediately panicking upon hearing the shocking news.

However, many people still began to stand up and rush towards the exits. Once a chain reaction started, it would be impossible to find the box full of explosives, and many people could die in the stampede.

At this moment, a red figure flashed on the stage. Xiao Wei snatched the microphone from the host and said loudly, "Don't panic, everyone. This won't benefit anyone. We are stars in the eyes of millions. Show the power of role models. This is live broadcast tonight. Think about how your actions of running around will make people in Hong Kong, China, and the world look down on you forever."

"Look around to see if you can find the box. That's what we should be doing now."

Xiao Wei's words struck a chord with the many stars present, and they had an immediate effect.

"Hurry up and look, what are you waiting for? Listen to Sister Xiao," Ah Zu supported.

"After playing heroes for so many years, it's finally exciting to encounter something like this in real life. Why run? Helping to resolve the crisis is the right thing to do," Cheng Long shouted, raising his arm.

"That's right, we've been making movies for so many years. In situations like this, the more panicked we are, the worse it gets. Don't you understand this?" Fa Ge had already started searching.

The chaotic scene was finally under control, and everyone began to search.

"It's here, I have a black briefcase." In a corner of the venue, a female reporter suddenly screamed.

Almost instantly, Su Yang flew to her side and snatched the briefcase, which was making a faint "tick-tock" sound.

The lighting technicians promptly shone a spotlight on him, and several responsible photographers also focused their lenses on him.

After taking the briefcase, Su Yang said nothing, his movements reaching their fastest speed. He ignored any obstacles and rushed out of the Hong Kong Cultural Center in a straight line.

Of course, several large holes were left in the walls.

About thirty seconds later, a fireball rose from the nearest bay to the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the Red磡 Bay. The massive explosion could be heard clearly even by the many stars inside the Cultural Center.

Hearing the explosion, Xiao Wei's heart tightened. Although she knew Su Yang was a mysterious being, could he really be unharmed from such a terrifying explosion?

Tonight, all the viewers watching the live broadcast of the Golden Bauhinia Awards ceremony remembered Su Yang's selfless act to save lives and Xiao Wei's calmness in the face of danger.

With the crisis resolved, the reporters in the venue began to busy themselves, conducting interviews everywhere.

Before the hero who saved hundreds of popular film and television stars, Su Yang, appeared, Xiao Wei, who had come with him and helped keep the audience calm, naturally became the primary interview subject.

"Miss Xiao, what is your companion's profession? Can you reveal it? Is he an international police officer? A special forces member? Or?"

"Your companion's skills were truly astonishing just now. Does he have special abilities?"

"First, I want to thank your boyfriend for stepping up. Without him, I'm afraid we would have all perished in the fire."

"Miss Xiao..."

Gratitude and questions filled Xiao Wei's ears, but at this moment, her mind was entirely on Su Yang, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Soon, a group of stars familiar with Xiao Wei gathered to try to comfort her.

Ah Zu said sincerely, "Sister Wei, good people will have good fortune. Don't worry too much."

Cheng Long first glared fiercely at an inconsiderate young reporter, then came forward to Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, he saved all of us. I believe good people will be rewarded."

"Thank you for your concern. Su Yang will be fine. I'm sure of it," Xiao Wei forced a smile, biting her lower lip, and said firmly.

Her words received a clear response.

"Ha ha, my little Xiao Wei knows me best. Such a small bomb couldn't hurt me. It's just a pity about this custom-made suit."

Su Yang, with his suit full of holes and his skin showing black and white, walked in through the main door, drawing grateful and surprised looks from many people.

"Mr. Su, thank you for saving our lives."

Ah Zu was the first to speak, "No matter how much resistance there is, I'll sign with Sister Wei's company tomorrow."

"Is Sister Wei's film company established? That's great. My contract with the company has expired. Sister Wei, take me in too," the magnetic-voiced actress Zhou Xun added.

"Me too. I have great confidence in Sister Xiao's company," Zhao Wen Zhuo smiled.

Within a few minutes, at least a dozen top stars expressed their intention to sign with or collaborate with Xiao Wei's film company, including several big names who already had their own film companies.

Clearly, they were showing their gratitude.

Su Yang squinted, looking at the beauty who had turned from tears to laughter, and felt that the destruction of his suit was worth it.

"Su Yang, I was really worried just now," Xiao Wei clung to Su Yang's arm affectionately.

"Don't worry about me. You should be more concerned about whether your company is big enough to sign all these stars."

Su Yang laughed heartily, even though the bomb incident had destroyed his new suit.

But in exchange, he had earned the gratitude of hundreds of stars, which was worth it. This favor would ensure that Xiao Wei's future career would flourish.

Under the cover of the staff and many stars, Su Yang hugged the beauty and retreated to the backstage, quietly leaving the Cultural Center.

Carried in Su Yang's arms, Xiao Wei felt as if she was riding the clouds and returned to the mansion.

Perhaps exhausted from the night's events, Xiao Wei soon fell asleep with Su Yang's gentle company.

After Xiao Wei was sound asleep, Su Yang covered her with a blanket, then moved swiftly to the hotel where Carlo was staying.

"Master, you've arrived," Carlo stood up respectfully upon seeing Su Yang.

"Carlo, how did things go?"

In the following time, Carlo quickly informed Su Yang of the results of the joint operation by the Gambino family, the Russian mafia, and the Yamaguchi-gumi to eliminate the Yong Sheng gang.

Finally, Carlo added, "Since Master asked the Hong Kong garrison to take over the surrendering members, we only killed less than two hundred of them, and none of them were innocent civilians outside of Yong Sheng."

"Good job, thank you for your hard work," Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. "You can withdraw now. By the way, leave a hundred elite members to help Du Yong Qian integrate the Hong Kong underworld."

Being able to serve his master and receive Su Yang's praise was a great honor for Carlo, and his old face almost split into a smile. If his subordinates or descendants saw this expression, they would be shocked.

"Master, there's one more thing," Carlo seemed to remember something and reminded, "The leader of Yong Sheng, Xiang Qiang, was captured by us and hasn't been dealt with yet."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang thought, "So this guy was the one who planted the bomb at the Cultural Center." He waved his hand and said, "Throw him into the open sea to feed the fish. Also, find someone to keep him company. Let me think... Yes, Zhao Tian He, a filmmaker."

For Su Yang, anyone who threatened those close to him had to be eliminated. Although Yong Sheng was destroyed, Zhao Tian He, the instigator, could not be let off.

Who knows what he might do in the future? Su Yang didn't want to take that risk.

"Understood, I will fulfill Master's request," Carlo nodded.

Before leaving, Su Yang's expression turned serious, "After returning to the United States, gather more information about the DR organization. Notify me immediately if you find any leads."

"Master, rest assured," Carlo said earnestly, "Give me some time. I believe I can find some clues."

Leaving the hotel room, Su Yang was stopped by Miao Ling, the long-legged beauty from the National Security Agency, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby for a long time.

"Mr. Su, the commotion you caused tonight is truly enormous!" Miao Ling said sincerely.

As a National Security Agency agent, her information was far more sensitive than that of other government agencies. She had a clear understanding of what had happened tonight and had deduced most of it.

"I was with my little Xiao Wei all night. What happened? Tell me," Su Yang said with a lazy smile.

Miao Ling actually gave Su Yang a rather resentful look, which was completely out of character for her. She sighed lightly, "Su Yang, I'm not trying to blame you for tonight's events. Rest assured, by this time tomorrow morning, you will be a hero in the Chinese film industry, praised by countless people. Even if the higher-ups really want to deal with you, public opinion will prevent it."

"Who dares to touch me?" Su Yang smiled, "Anyone who has designs on me is no longer in this world."

To be honest, Su Yang had never been afraid of anyone or any force, but he hated trouble. That's why he had a sudden idea and reached an agreement with the Hong Kong garrison to hand over the surrendering Yong Sheng members to them for trial on the mainland.

Otherwise, if nearly two thousand people died in Hong Kong in one night, even though they were all gang members, it would be a shocking event in the history of the People's Republic of China.

However, Su Yang also noticed that Miao Ling's gaze on him tonight was somewhat strange, and she had changed from calling him "Mr. Su" to "Su Yang." With his extensive experience in dealing with women, he couldn't help but think, "Could it be that my recent perfect performance has won the heart of this long-legged beauty?"
