ATAMMDO 2

Chapter 2

 

Not many people know about the fact that Jiang Liu Cheng saved Qin Lu, and Wang Jiajun happens to be one of them.

 

Wang Jiajun didn’t like Jian Liu Cheng. He didn’t like him the first time they met all the way until now. He was born getting all of this attention from others, while he is the exact opposite of him. 

 

For this reason, he repeatedly finds trouble for Jiang Liu Cheng. In fact, he even encouraged his parents to raise the rent. 

 

There was a time when Jiang Liu Cheng picked up and helped a blind man go home. He made sure to mock him for it.

 

It was not until recently, that he accidentally came across someone that was inquiring about the tenant living in room 3307. From there, he learned that the blind man Jiang Liu Cheng saved is a rich man and wanted to return the favor. He was so jealous that he came up with the idea to impersonate and pretend that he is Jiang Liu Cheng. 

 

Technically, room 3307 is the property of his family. He could tilt the statements a little and stretch out the truth. It is not wrong of him to say that he is the owner of room 3307. 

 

Because he is an impostor and was afraid of being exposed, Wang Jiajun could not wait to get rid of Jiang Liu Cheng. Then it finally happened today, he finally came face to face with the man Jiang Liu Cheng saved.

 

At a glance, he quickly recognized him as the famous award-winning actor, Qin Lu. After his debut, he immediately starred in a popular movie. It is rumored that his vision was very fierce. Because he returned the favor, a TV series also broke through the highest ratings and won a lot of awards.

 

After realizing these things, he became more determined to pretend to be the benefactor of the actor. But because he is still afraid of being exposed, he dared not to say much.

 

His plan is very simple. After stabilizing his deal with Qin Lu, he will use the fastest way possible to get rid of Jiang Liu Cheng and other people who know about it. At least, that’s what’s in his head. Unfortunately for him, Qin Lu unexpectedly denied that he was his savior.

 

Although it was true, he had chosen not to do anything.

 

Wang Jiajun smiled stiffly. “Qin Lu, don’t you remember your car accident last November? I saved you at that time.”

 

Qin Lu’s car accident in November last year did not spread as it was quickly suppressed from the media. Only a few people knew the inside story.

 

At that time, Qin Lu had gradually reduced his work, so he did not arouse suspicion during his absence from the public eye.

 

Fans occasionally speculate and discuss it in a small circle, but that’s the only thing they can do for they don’t know the facts and don’t have hard-proof evidence of it.

 

It is impossible for ordinary people to know about this. Wang Jiajun can accurately tell the month of the incident that was in November last year, indicating that they should not have found the wrong person.

 

The agent was still embarrassed for him, but he suddenly felt sorry for him when he heard this.

 

However, he also felt that he could not blame Qin Lu. After all, Wang Jiajun was indeed very creepy, especially when he laughed. It was understandable that he could not accept it for a while.

 

Just when the agent was ready to help Wang Jiajun say a few words, Qin Lu suddenly got up and walked out.

 

“Brother Qin, where are you going?” The agent hurriedly asked.

 

Qin Lu stopped and glanced back at Wang Jiajun, “Go and find out who the 3307 tenant is.”

 

The agent froze.

 

Wang Jiajun’s expression became even stiffer.

 

He thought that Qin Lu wouldn’t notice that he is not the one that really saved him that day. He thought that he could easily deceive anyone and have this easy until this remark of his.

 

Qin Lu was confident that he is not the one living in room 3307.

 

The agent was surprised and a little bit confused, so he then asked a question to his boss. “How come you know that he is not the tenant in room 3307? And if he isn’t really the one living there, then why would he go so far to pretend?”

 

Qin Lu glanced at Wang Jiajun and revealed a trace of impatience. “I may be blind that day, but I could definitely still hear.”

 

With that, he walked to turn the knob of the door and left without saying another word. 

 

The agent looked coldly at Wang Jiajun. “My apologies, it seems like we are having a misunderstanding here. No matter, we will find out the truth eventually.”

 

Wang Jiajun was sweating cold sweat. “I am really the owner of 3307.”

 

The agent has been in the entertainment industry for so long. In his eyes, it is very evident that Wang Jiajun is a little guilty at the moment. With that, he is very annoyed. The only person that he can blame was himself. When he went to Yunhua District to inquire about it, Wang Jiajun jumped out and said that he was the owner of 3307.

 

He thought that this is going to be a simple business but he never thought that someone would end up pretending to be the person that he was looking for. To think that he got so lucky finding his person of interest so quickly. He should’ve known that that’s being suspiciously lucky, and now he disappointed his employer.

 

It was not only Wang Jiajun who was beaten in the face, but also him. If it had not been for his incompetence, this would not have happened. Knowing that he had made a mistake, the broker re-investigated that night and quickly found out the situation.

 

“The real tenant for room 3307 is named Jiang Liu Cheng. He started renting it last June. The landlord is Wang Jiajun’s mother. Wang Jiajun is the one who pretended to be your benefactor.”

 

Wang Jiajun wasn’t lying when he told them that he is the owner of room 3307, but he only gave him the half-truth and twisted his words a little. Having him own the room was entirely a different context.

 

“According to what I’ve found out, Wang Jiajun hates Jiang Liu Chen. Since he found out I was looking for him, Wang Jiajun pretended to be him.” The agent started relaying what he had found out. “Furthermore, Wang Jiajun is most certainly a thug. He is relying on his parents for money and to be able to fool around. He is also involved in a lot of trou-”

 

Qin Lu interrupted his report. “I don’t want to hear anything about this anymore. I want to talk about Jiang Liu Cheng.”

 

The agent understood. “Jiang Liu Cheng is 23 years old of age. Coincidentally, he is also a member of the entertainment industry. He entered the industry through a star scout last year. Nonetheless, he only played some small roles. Roles that are just a little bit better than the extras.

 

There was something in what he said because this has happened to be a convenient coincidence.

 

If Jiang Liu Cheng is from the entertainment industry, then he should not have failed to recognize him when he picked up his injured body.

When he first learned that he was also a person in the entertainment industry, the agent had some doubts about whether the other party was deliberately close to Qin Lu.

 

Qin Lu wouldn’t blame him for thinking so. After all, he has just learned from the past.

 

Qin Lu recognized that there was something in his words, “Since he has recognized me, why didn’t he come to me for so long?”

 

The agent thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he simply just couldn’t get a hold of a big fish like you.”

 

Qin Lu stared at him and said, “Even if your world is dark, don’t think that everyone else has to live in such a cruel world too.”

 

The agent: “…..”

 

The agent felt that he was wronged, and he just made a reasonable guess.

 

Meanwhile, Wang Jiajun is said to have been taken away by the door-to-door policeman while playing video games at home.

 

The news spread in several WeChat groups. It was working hours during the day, and many tenants were busy working, but they took the time to eat melons one after another during their break times.

 

“Does anyone know what happened to Wang Jiajun?”

 

“I have heard that he had gotten himself too drunk with his friends. They were so drunk that they maimed the people who passed by, and bullied the girls outside the bar. I heard that someone had called the police on them, and they’re knocking on them door to door.”

 

“I also heard that the matter is quite serious. Wang Jiajun might go to prison this time.”

 

Everyone had only bits of the news. They didn’t discuss it deeper, but anyone could tell that they were a little bit enthusiastic about the situation.

 

It’s just for the reason that Wang Jiajun likes to pretend that he is a trigger simply because he is the son of the landlord. And because of this, many tenants have been annoyed with him.

 

Most especially the female tenants. These beautiful ladies have been receiving harassment from Wang Jiajun whether they have boyfriends or not. Some even went ahead to complain to the landlord, but the landlord can’t particularly control his son how to behave like a real man.

 

Many people thought that something would happen sooner or later because of his virtue, but they didn’t expect it to come so soon.

 

The news in the group brushed through very fast.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng is also in the group, but he usually shields the group’s notification. He only takes a look at it when the landlord has some important notice for them.

 

He didn’t go to see the group chat today either and for that, he doesn’t know what happened. He has other things to do today.

 

The last time he told the matchmaker the result of his blind date, he rescheduled him and sent another location for his next blind date to his mobile phone yesterday.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng came to the address which ends up being a restaurant.

 

The matchmaker said that the restaurant was specifically by his blind date. 

 

He came early, and it can only be expected that his blind date is not in the building yet. Nevertheless, he sent him a message and Jiang Liu Cheng quickly received a message saying that his blind date was already on his way.

 

Out of courtesy, he did not order immediately. He waited for nearly an hour, half an hour after the time they had agreed on.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng once again took out his mobile phone to look at the time. 

 

As if on cue, four people came in through the door and finally came in Jiang Liu Cheng’s direction.

 

As they approached, the four suddenly looked at each other, and one of them whispered, “it’s not just a filter. He is really good-looking.”

 

“Hello, are you Mr. Jiang Liu Cheng?” One of them came up and asked.

 

Jiang Liu Orange stood up, “I am. Are you Miss Chen?”

 

The girl immediately laughed, “I am. These three are my best friends. Do you mind if I bring them along?”

 

Out of a man’s gentlemanly demeanor, Jiang Liu Cheng replied that he didn’t mind.

 

Meanwhile, a familiar black car was parked outside the hotel.

 

Qin Lu is sitting in the back and is looking into the hotel through the window.

 

The hotel is covered with transparent glass on this side of the road, and people outside can clearly see what’s going on inside.

 

However, because it is a little far away, he can only see the figures inside, but he can’t see their faces clearly.

 

“Are you sure the person is in there?” Qin Lu asked.

 

The agent affirmed. “He is in there, and he seems to be on a blind date.”

 

After he made a mistake once, the agent knew that could never commit a mistake again. Else, it’s going to be goodbye already.

 

Getting the affirmative answer, Qin Lu got out of the car directly. Today, he is wearing a silver-gray sweater and a pair of black trousers. It’s on his list to dress casually. In order to avoid attention and cause some unnecessary trouble, he wore a pair of sunglasses and a cap to cover most of his face.

 

Despite of this, his presence still caught the passerbys’ attention. They could not help but glance at him a few times than normal.

 

The agent followed him out of the car and the two of them entered the restaurant.

 

The agent did the scanning and his eyes fell on the four people on the table near the corner of the wall. The man of interest is facing them with his back.

 

“Brother Qin, he seems to be in that corner.”

 

Qin Lu nodded over to the agent and started walking. It seems to him that his boss is going to directly confront Jiang Liu Cheng, but he walked past them and sat at the next table.

 

“Mr. Jiang, we’ve already ordered. See what else would you like to eat.” His blind date handed the menu to Jiang Liu Cheng, and then said sheepishly, “We may have ordered a little too much. I hope you don’t mind.”

 

Jiang Liu Cheng felt something vaguely when he heard this sentence.

 

Just then, there was a low and beautiful voice behind him.

 

“When you go on a blind date, will you be happy if your blind date brings a bunch of companions to eat?”

 

Only the other person replied, “No. Gosh, there are people who are so thick-skinned nowadays.”

 

Jiang Liu Cheng only knew that there was a table behind him, but he didn’t expect them to speak. He glanced sideways and happened to see a pair of long legs with nowhere to be placed under the table.

 

The four girls sitting opposite him realized that they were mocking themselves. Despite such small thoughts, their face scrunched up a little when they were told to their faces.

 

“Who are you talking about?” one of the tough girls stood up and held her ground.

 

Qin Lu and his agent next door just glanced at her and did not speak.

 

“You know these people, don’t you? You wanted to embarrass us on purpose. I just wanted to test you. It seems that now it makes sense why you go on so many blind dates and nothing works out with you. There is no need for this blind date to go on. Let’s go, girls.”

 

Jiang Liu Cheng’s blind date hasn’t really had the chance to say anything since they got there. And it seems like she doesn’t have a say in this either. As soon as her best friends finished, they all left together. 

 

The agent did not expect that they would spoil their blind date as soon as they came, and they were a little afraid to look at Jiang Liu Cheng’s expression.

 

When Qin Lu first opened his mouth, he actually wanted to complain that he had never seen a blind date as rude as them, but instead, he took the initiative to apologize. “I’m sorry to mess up your blind date and get you misunderstood.” Qin Lu took a look at the boy and then bowed his head slightly.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng shook his head. “Don’t apologize. I didn’t think it would work.”

 

The girl he is on a blind date with doesn’t seem to have any thoughts of her own. She only listens to everything her best friends tell her to. 

 

“My name is Qin Lu.” Qin Lu revealed his name. 

 

The agent on one side stared at Jiang Liu Cheng to see how he would react when he heard the name.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng immediately recognized him, “So it’s you. I know you are the actor Qin Lu.”

 

Qin Lu “If you know me, then you remember that you saved me last November.”

 

Of course, Jiang Liu Cheng remembers, but the other party left quickly. First, he didn’t really know that he was Qin Lu. But after some time when he saw him on TV, he recognized that he was the same person that he saved.

 

He turned around and looked directly at Qin Lu. The real person was indeed more handsome than on TV.

 

Qin Lu looked at the man in front of him, and the man in the photo was nothing compared to when you are seeing him up close and in real life. 

 

The young man has crisp short hair with a pointed nose. The outline of his face is also exquisite. Then there‘s also his overall facial features that are just so perfectly assembled. To be honest, it’s hard to distinguish whether he is a man or a woman. But within an angle,  his jawline seems to be able to cut anything. His facial features assemble him to be a heroic and vigorous man, to say the least.

 

At first glance, it seems that you can’t tell the difference between gender, but at a second glance, you will never admit your mistake again. He is the epitome of perfection. 

 

“Well, you saved me. I owe you a favor.  If you have any wish, then I could help you with it.”

 

Qin Lu felt very at ease. He felt like this young man in front of him is like his savior- his knight and shining armor to some extent.

 

Actually, no. He believed that if other people had passed by there at that very moment, they would’ve come to rescue him too, so it’s not much of a big deal.

 

“I don’t like to owe favors, that is all.” Qin Lu added.

 

The two men looked at each other. 

 

“I have some resources, maybe I can help you with anything.” He insisted.

 

Jiang Liu Cheng was very surprised that the movie star would eventually introduce him to a blind date.

 

……….

Author’s Note:

 

Qin Lu: I have some resources, maybe I can help you with anything.

Jiang Liu Cheng: Okay. May I make a request?

Qin Lu: Fire away.

Jiang Liu Cheng: I’m fine whether it will be men or women.

Qin Lu: ……..
