Chapter 22 The top-tier actress, universally criticized online, fled to Zhang Village, where she was
Lin Xian looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms, her white shirt stained with a large patch of glaring blood.
He reached out and pinched the mask strap near the girl's ear, then gently pulled it down.
A face, even without any color in it, was breathtakingly beautiful.
Chen Xiuniang gasped, covering her mouth, and dropped the shopping bag in her hand to the ground.
"Isn't this... isn't this Shen Youran, the big star who plays fairies on TV every day?"
The old men from the Academy of Sciences standing at the door also crowded around, craning their necks and clinging to the doorframe.
The news has gone viral online.
This top-tier national starlet was blacklisted across the internet for refusing the advances of a wealthy tycoon in Shanghai.
A deluge of negative information came crashing down on her like snowflakes; she was even pelted with rotten eggs when she walked down the street.
Lin Xian looked at the half-broken crossbow bolt still bleeding from her shoulder and let out a long yawn.
"Everyone, disperse. Those who need to sweep, sweep; those who need to cook, cook."
He didn't even bother to ask another question, and simply hoisted Shen Youran onto his shoulder like a load of rice.
Lin Xian slowly returned to the floating manor ten thousand meters above the ground, stepping onto the holographic light guide staircase.
He kicked open the door to the medical room and threw Shen Youran into a fully automated nanotherapy chamber.
The pale green repair fluid instantly submerged the girl's frail body.
In less than two minutes, the crossbow bolt that had pierced the shoulder was broken down into a lump of rust by the nanobots.
The dead skin at the wound site also fell off, and new flesh, as tender as a baby's, grew out.
Shen Youran suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils filled with the fear of a near-death struggle.
She thought she would be strapped to a cold operating table and have her heart ripped out by those thugs who were collecting debts.
What greeted the eye was a luxurious hall with a futuristic feel, and a virtual starry sky twinkling overhead.
Lin Xian was lying sprawled out on the zero-gravity waterbed, playing a holographic racing game with a controller in his hand.
Shen Youran climbed out of the treatment pod, wrapped in a constant-temperature bath towel, and stared blankly at the man in floral shorts.
"You...you saved me?"
She bit her pale lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Those tycoons said I defaulted on a debt of 1 billion yuan and that they would sell my organs overseas to pay off the debt."
"They sent assassins to chase me all the way, so I had no choice but to run to this deep mountain forest to wait for my death."
Shen Youran finished speaking in one breath, thinking that the man would be so frightened that he would quickly kick her out.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is now a jinx who brings endless disasters.
Lin Xian didn't even turn his head, his eyes fixed on the game screen, his fingers clicking rapidly.
"A billion is considered money? I'd bend over for a penny that falls on the ground."
"Now that you've entered my door, even if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up."
He casually pressed a button, and a housekeeping robot glided to Shen Youran's side.
The robotic arm held a plate of peeled, chilled grapes and fed them directly to her mouth.
Shen Youran subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite, the sweet juice instantly exploding in her mouth.
The anxiety of being constantly squeezed by the spotlight and announcements dissipated by more than half under this grape.
Lin Xian tossed another game controller into her arms.
"Don't just stand there, play two duo ranked games with me. If we lose, we won't get meat for lunch today."
Shen Youran hurriedly caught the handle, completely bewildered.
She had just survived a life-or-death escape, and this man actually wanted her to play video games with him?
Over the next three days, Shen Youran truly witnessed what it meant to live a life of pure bliss.
There were no relentless harassment calls at 3 a.m., and no vicious insults from haters.
She wakes up naturally every day, and when she does, a fully automatic feeding machine delivers Michelin-level hot meals to her mouth.
If you get bored, take a bath in the heated pool or go to the holographic amusement park downstairs to catch virtual dolls.
Her severe depression and panic disorder were cured by Lin Xian's relaxing feeling, like the sky had fallen and he was using it as a blanket.
The outside world is in an uproar over her capture, with a tycoon offering a reward of 100 million for her head.
She was wearing fluffy pajamas, fighting with Xia Anran and Mu Xiaotian in the yard for a piece of mutated watermelon.
That afternoon, sunlight streamed through the gravity barrier into the suspended living room.
Shen Youran completely shed her celebrity facade, revealing a natural beauty that was even more captivating.
She walked to Lin Xian's recliner, put her hands behind her back, and touched the ground with her toes.
"Lin Xian, I don't want to go back to the entertainment industry. I want to stay with you."
"I'd be willing to be your sweeper even if it meant doing anything else."
Lin Xian lazily flipped through a page of the comic book in his hand, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
"My robot vacuum cleaner is much more efficient than yours."
"However, the manor does need someone to play background music. From now on, the position of the territory's exclusive performing arts officer will be yours."
Shen Youran jumped up with joy and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
She walked quickly to the completely transparent quantum grand piano in the corner of the living room.
Slender, fair fingers danced across the piano keys, and a light and lively melody echoed through the manor.
The melodious piano music, paired with the sea of clouds thousands of meters above the window, made one feel comfortable to the core.
Lin Xian closed his eyes and tapped his feet to the beat, holding a freshly brewed cup of tea in his hand.
In this peaceful and cozy moment when everyone is lying down.
The main control computer screen, which was at least 100 inches in size and suspended in the center of the living room, suddenly emitted a piercing alarm.
The screen, which was originally displaying scenic images, instantly turned blood red.
Thousands of lines of green gibberish scrolled wildly across the screen like a waterfall.
A cold, mechanical warning sound came from the speakers.
"Warning! Unidentified data stream detected forcibly accessing the site."
"Top-tier hackers are brute-forcing down the firewalls surrounding the territory!"
Lin Xian paused for a moment while holding the cup, and didn't wipe the tea that had splashed on the table.
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the screen full of jumping bloody gibberish, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Before he could even settle accounts with those troublesome tycoons, they came knocking on his door first.
Shen Youran's piano playing stopped abruptly. She pulled her hands back from the keys, her fingertips still burning.
Mu Xiaotian rushed out of the gaming room next door barefoot, her face changing drastically as she looked at the code on the screen.
"Boss, this dismantling technique belongs to the number one hacker on the dark web, codenamed 'Ghost'!"
Lin Xian slammed the teacup heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Whether he's a ghost or a dead man, if he dares to hack my computer, today I'll make sure he can't even wear his underwear."
He stood up, his floral shorts swaying in the wind, and walked step by step toward the main control computer.
The blood-red garbled text on the screen suddenly stopped and combined into an arrogant skull pattern.
The skull's jaw opened and closed, revealing a line of provocative Chinese characters.
"Hand over Shen Youran and the levitation technology, or we will destroy all your network equipment within three minutes."
Lin Xian pulled out the chair in front of the computer and sat down, placing his hands on the quantum keyboard.
"Sweetie, make me a cup of coffee. Watch how I get through the internet and slap the boss across the face."
