"I say, interrogate you had also interrogated, investigate you had also investigated, and since there's nothing wrong, why can't you let me leave?" Han Dong stood at the entrance of his five-star 'cell' shouting at Er Lei.
(T/N: This sentence " interrogate you had also interrogated, investigate you had also investigated" I translated to the literal meaning from the raw, but if you guys can't understand it, read it as "you have interrogated, and also investigated")
"Before you give a reasonable explanation, it's impossible for Chief Wang to let you go!"
"Didn't I already say everything? I knew by reading his facial features!!"
Er Lei gave no response.
Han Dong's cold and stern gaze fell on Er Lei's face and once again displayed his 'Great Master' trump card.
"Yang Chun Lei, 31 years old, was once the chief of the armed police force's second regiment's second division, he was in the second row and were class two's class president, nicknamed Er Lei. I've summarized your personal likes and dislikes into a poem: Doesn't eat seafood, doesn't eat spicy, but loves barbeque and loves fried, likes to wear his socks folded, his favourite in life are flower-printed underpants……"
(T/N: Er (二) in Chinese had the meaning of two/second hence the nickname)
The muscles on Er Lei's face twitched for a moment but very quickly went back to normal.
"Now do you believe me?"
"It's useless if only I believe it, it's Chief Wang who has to believe it.”
Han Dong showed his bared teeth, he had a fierce look in his eyes, "Even if he believes it, he won't admit it!"
Not to mention that he would not believe it ah!
Han Dong currently regretted to the point of his intestines turning green, you said you had nothing else to do so why did you have to show off your evil practice, for what? Don't you know that he's a materialist? See what you did now, exposing the secret of other people's child, how are you going to explain! If you don't admit that you harbour evil intentions then don't even think about leaving, if you do admit it then all the more reason to not think about leaving.
(T/N: 肠子都青了 (intestines turned green) – is a Chinese phrase used to describe extreme regret to the point of simply wishing for death due to the fact that intestines would only turn green after someone has died)
"You, for what reason putting me under this house arrest situation without any evidence? This is illegal, do you not understand that?"
Er Lei who had been serious for a long time finally said some humorous words.
"If you really are a great master, then we would not be able to keep you here, your astral soul would be able to travel anywhere."
Han Dong was speechless by his words, good! You're really good!
Er Lei also said: "We did not restrict all of your freedom, as long as you don't go outside the company, you can go wherever you want. We can even consider it if you want to join the crew and go out to learn for two days."
"But I want to go home ah!" Han Dong once again bitterly begged, "Brother, let me go home, I just want to take my rope, that's all. If you can't rest assured then you can go together with me, you can even handcuff me!"
Er Lei said: "We have plenty of ropes here."
"How can our ropes be the same?" Han Dong fumed, he once again had on a face of despair, "Furthermore there are my five wives, since I'm away for so many days, this certainly make other people concerned."
In these past two days Han Dong always mentioned the "five sisters," at first Er Lei did not know who they were, however after hearing him talk more often about them, he understood that it was a few inflatable dolls.
"After you become a big star, you can buy however many you want."
Han Dong turned around and shouted at him: "Don't you know a husband can't abandon a wife who went through hardships with him? When you go through poverty and dejection, the woman who is willing to be with you is your wife, that is called true love!"
Er Lei silently criticized: The wife who went through hardships with you, aren't they too many?
Han Dong spitefully breathed in a few deep breaths, he said again: "Then can you lend me your phone to use? My brother is getting married in two days, I have to at least congratulate him!"
Regarding this request, Er Lei agreed after some consideration.
As the result, with great difficulty Han Dong finally got his hands on a phone, he dialed a few times but it did not go through. He suddenly remembered, before Ye Cheng Lin left he seemed to have said, when he arrived there he would change his number, at that time he would send the new number to his phone."
Han Dong's face immediately became pained, he hugged his head while rolling on the bed, "Let me go home, let me go home, let me go home, let me go home……"
Er Lei who was beside him had endured it for a while, he finally spoke.
"Actually, Chief Wang keeping you here, it isn't to investigate you."
"I know!" Han Dong was already tired of listening to the same thing, "He wants to sign with me! He wants to raise me! Isn't that the reason?"
Stop brainwashing me, it was not easy for your father to throw away his dream of becoming a star!
(T/N: When referring to one's self as your father (老子) it is equivalent to referring to yourself in a haughty manner like Ore-sama)
Thinking about the road of hardship he had walked on these past five years, Han Dong felt sad for himself, in fact he really didn't have much perseverance to surpass others, rather he had calculated early on that he himself had a lucky star, that was why he stuck to it so stubbornly. It was absolutely unexpected that the piece of meat pie he had longed for five years, it didn't fall into his hands but rather fell into the latrine pit!
You say, should you eat it or not?
Er Lei once again spoke, "Do you know why Chief Wang wants to sign with you?"
"Nonsense, what else can be the reason? I caught his eye!"
"Then do you know why you caught his eye?"
Speaking of this, Han Dong finally stopped tossing and turning, he really wanted to know how outstanding he was in Wang Zhong DIng's eyes in order to destroy it!
Er Lei took out a highly confidential document, it showed the preparation plans and casting requirements for the blockbuster of the year of Zhong Ding film and television group.
Han Dong was a shrewd man, his eyes directly ran to the casting requirements section, he had heard Li Shang mention these harsh casting requirements before but it was merely hearsay. Now seeing the exact information he only had one thought inside, Wang Zhong Ding you're a f****** pervert! Who could look precisely like that? This wasn't a joke!
"You match perfectly." Er Lei said.
Han Dong was shocked, "Impossible, they definitely measured me before setting the requirements."
Er Lei smiled, "If you take a closer look at the printed date, you can see that we have been running around a few months for this role, if we had seen you earlier, would we still waste manpower and financial resources?"
Han Dong only had one thought in his mind at this time——The Heavens want me to die ah!
Don't talk about Wang Zhong Ding, even Han Dong himself imagined a beautiful and sexy girl with a big round butt, if this beautiful girl suddenly came out of the wall, he also wouldn't let go no matter what!
'Yue Lao, you're really naughty!'
……
Every three days, Er Lei would go to report Han Dong's situation to Wang Zhong Ding.
"In these past few days besides eating, he would sleep."
Wang Zhong Ding was surprised, "Nothing else?"
"No, he would lie in bed all day, he himself would eat the amount for three persons."
Going with Er Lei's pace, every three days Han Dong would be weighed once.
"I F***, how come it doesn't go up even 1 tael?"
(T/N: 一两(tael) – unit of weight measurement)
Han Dong broke down, after six full days of eating and drinking unreasonably, where the only difference was that he didn't directly drink fats, the meat on his body did not increase even a little bit.
When he realized that he was the type that could eat without getting fat, Han Dong decided to change his strategy.
Lose weight!
'Wait until I'm thin like a pole, thin like a stick, thin and shriveled with just skin wrapped around bone, I'll see if you still want to pester me or not!'
Anyone who lost weight would know from experience, being hungry was definitely more torturous than eating to the point of bursting. If you ate to the point of bursting you would only feel uncomfortable for a while, but being hungry would make you feel uncomfortable for the whole day.
It was tolerable during the day but when night arrived, Han Dong was so hungry that he tossed and turned on the bed unable to sleep. His eyes kept staring fixedly at the refrigerator, inside there were all kinds of delicious food shouting catchphrases and striding toward Han Dong, chicken leg! Big chicken leg! Hamburger! Hamburger……Han Dong bared his teeth, he turned over and palmed the pig trotters away then endured it and went to sleep.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Han Dong climbed out of bed again.
It was like Hui Tai Lang seeing Xi Yang Yang, his closed eyes concentrated on the refrigerator and at once he threw himself over. Let's eat! It was just a dream anyway, put everything aside and eat happily! If someone took a picture and made an advertisement out of it, the next day business would definitely explode.
(T/N: 灰太狼 (Hui Tai Lang) is a wolf and 喜羊羊 (Xi Yang Yang) is a sheep in a Chinese animated series called Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf)
The next morning, Han Dong woke up feeling that his stomach wasn't as uncomfortable as he thought.
He sat up with a sense of accomplishment but when he looked at the ground, he was stunned.
There were food wrappers scattered all over the place, next to his feet there was a piece of pig trotter that he hadn't finished chewing yet. Also don't know if there were leftovers because he wasn’t finished eating, or because he was still biting biting biting…..
As a result, Han Dong painfully made up his mind, he had to empty the entire refrigerator.
……
Half past two in the morning, Wang Zhong Ding stayed up late again, in the whole building only his office had the lights on.
Suddenly, there was a rustle of footsteps in the corridor.
Although there were security guards on duty in the building, the security guards usually didn't come over to disturb Wang Zhong Ding, even if they did come to this side to inspect, they would walk then stop, they didn't follow the rhythm of the uniform pattern.
At last, the footsteps came to a screeching halt at the door.
There was no sound of the doorbell, no sound of knocking, just a direct creak and the door was open.
Then, Han Dong's two highly recognizable long legs stretched in.
Wang Zhong Ding's cold and stern gaze slanted toward the door, seeing that Han Dong's eyes were closed, even though he felt uncomfortable inside, he didn't say anything.
Han Dong didn't walk toward Wang Zhong Ding nor did he pull any tricks, he went straight to the refrigerator.
Then, in front of Wang Zhong Ding's face, he 'stole' a box of canned meat from the refrigerator.
Perhaps it was because he was too hungry, Han Dong quickly pulled the ring after he got the can, as a result the strength used wasn't right, the ring was pulled off but the can didn't open.
After that, Han Dong anxiously wanted to torture the can lid, he smashed it with his fist, dug with his hand, pried it with his fingernails……his hungry expression would make the people in the city of Ethiopia cry tears of sympathy.
There was only one box of canned meat in the refrigerator, the rest were drinks.
Just as Han Dong grinded away in the room, intending to look for a tool to break it open, the can was suddenly taken by someone else.
Within three seconds, the lid of the can was opened.
Don't know where Wang Zhong Ding found a spoon, he stuck it in the can with an expressionless face, then handed it to Han Dong.
Han Dong carried the can and obediently walked away.
