I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 548 - 546: Wang Ling Got Beaten

"50 billion US Dollars for a few minutes of footage, I had to watch it several times just for Mr. Zhang's investment!"

"Brothers, let's go for the second and third screenings!"

Right after the show aired, the box office of "Three-Body" unexpectedly soared, and those who thought it was a gimmick and wanted to expose it also crowded into the cinemas, contributing another wave to the film's revenue.

Up until now, the global box office of "Three-Body" had unexpectedly surpassed 50 billion US Dollars, almost doubling the previous record!

And the Red Coast Base, which was heavily funded by Zhang Menglong earlier, had suddenly become a tourist destination for the whole world.

What was most unbelievable was that the wreckage of the "Judgement Day" had somehow been directly moved into this Red Coast Base theme park, undoubtedly shutting up those who were crying foul.

Just as Wang Ling's father had predicted, this project required a huge amount of funds initially, but once it became a hit, the costs were quickly recouped. Based on the current daily turnover, all the money spent by Zhang Menglong would be recovered in a year and a half, and everything after that was pure profit!

Subsequently, Wang Ling took advantage of the heat to announce that "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" would start filming in a week, with all the key characters returning.

As soon as this news was released, film fans around the world were boiling with excitement, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the second major work.

Box office shares, shares in the film base, and peripheral shares made Wang Ling earn a fortune. Following Zhang Menglong, he got so much more than just meat to eat; it was incredibly profitable!

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had walked into that sports car club with Qin Feng and met Zhang Menglong; otherwise, he would still be messing around with some low-grade live shows with minor internet celebrities, nowhere near his current glory.

...

"Honey, tonight I'm on an infusion, infused with what? Thoughts of you."

"Babe, today I want to write you a letter, what kind of letter is it? It's 'I love you' beyond belief!"

"Babe, today I read works by scholarly authority Wang Zejian, what Zejian? My heart for you is as clear as day and night!"

...

As the face of "Three-Body," Wang Ling was unrivaled in popularity during this period.

But one day, a very popular topic suddenly exploded online.

It was Wang Ling's chat history with a female internet celebrity, and as the former top second-generation rich kid, Wang Ling appeared in the chat history like a smitten flatterer, spouting all sorts of tacky love phrases to this internet celebrity.

This message suddenly shifted the societal winds, with a succession of insults following.

"Turns out you can't teach an old dog new tricks, probably the price wasn't negotiated properly, huh?"

"Hahaha, even principal Wang is a flatterer, what reason do we have to despise flatterers?"

"It turns out that rich people are the same when it comes to women."

"I thought principal Wang would communicate by sending a red envelope and then one sentence, send a red envelope then another sentence. Seems I was carried away, overestimating these wealthy folks."

"What's the scenario?" others didn't understand, but Zhang Menglong was quite aware.

Recently, Wang Ling had been utterly focused on a girl named Jiang Qiyuan, who was almost always by his side during their meals.

Moreover, as an expert at distinguishing jerks, Zhang Menglong was certain that this time, Wang Ling was serious.

Words and actions can deceive, but the eyes cannot, and Zhang Menglong could also feel that when Wang Ling was saying some cheesy stuff, there was no fluctuation in his spiritual power, which means what he said was a true reflection of his heart.

So, he's involved with an internet celebrity now? A few months ago, Zhang Menglong would have believed it; after all, changing girlfriends for him was as easy as performing magic, and whether or not to be a simp was his own choice since it wasn't he who was doing the simping.

But now, there must be something fishy. Perhaps this female internet celebrity wants to stir up some publicity by riding on Wang Ling's coattails? After all, it wasn't the first time such a thing had happened, and Zhang Menglong had grown accustomed to it.

However, Zhang Menglong didn't care much. Wang Ling wasn't the type to suffer silently if he were wronged. If it weren't for this incident, he would have been more anxious than anyone, so Zhang Menglong just watched purely for the entertainment.

"You like the salty scent of the sea breeze..." The song "Under the Sea" by Phoenix Legend, adapted on Zhang Menglong's phone, started to play. Zhang Menglong had never paid attention to his ringtone, merely remarking, "Back then, singing a couple of verses of yoyo was enough to split half the money. Now, with so many more lyrics, it's getting harder for Teacher Zeng Yi to make money."

"Wang Ling?" Zhang Menglong glanced at the caller ID, and what a coincidence it was. He had just seen a message about Wang Ling, and now he was calling. Could they have some sort of telepathy?

"Yuck, disgusting!" Zhang Menglong quickly dismissed the disgusting thought, "I say, Young Master Wang, what big news have you stirred up recently? Your simp quotes are really making the rounds online now."

"Babe, I need to get an infusion tonight..." Zhang Menglong started to mock.

"Fuck off," Wang Ling cursed, sounding somewhat exasperated. "Others might not know I've gone straight recently, but don't you know? Someone is trying to screw me over."

"Who did you offend?" Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Who dares to mess with you, Principal Wang? There can't be many across the country, right?"

"Cut the crap and come save me. Some bastards have thrown me into the Qiantang River!"

"What?" Zhang Menglong was stunned, "What happened?"

"I'll tell you later. If you don't come save me now, I'll be fish food," Wang Ling said.

"Send me your location!" Zhang Menglong quickly put on his coat. "Yiyi, I'm stepping out to fish a dumbass out of the Qiantang River!"

His villa was less than 4 kilometers from the riverbank, and within minutes, he had arrived.

It was nearly 11 p.m., and the riverbank was almost deserted. With a sweep of his spiritual power, Zhang Menglong actually found Wang Ling below the embankment.

Clutching at a crevice in the embankment, the night wind by the river made him keep catching his breath. The embankment, nearly ten meters high and very smooth due to water erosion, was impossible for an ordinary person to climb. Without help, Wang Ling was genuinely in mortal danger!

At this point, Zhang Menglong couldn't hold back anymore; his inner strength surged out, instantly freezing a small section of the riverbank, and then he pulled Wang Ling out all at once.

"You..." Wang Ling had seen such scenes before. The last time was in Europe when he had watched Ye Yin display superhuman strength. Now, Zhang Menglong had also turned into such a monster.

Wang Ling, reeking of garbage, quickly grabbed a coat from Zhang Menglong, "This damn thing, someone wants to kill me!"

Zhang Menglong didn't speak; he noticed several bruises on Wang Ling's face, garments torn, and even a deep wound on his leg.

"Were you beaten up?" Zhang Menglong narrowed his eyes, "Who did it? Is it related to that internet celebrity thing?"

Wang Ling nodded, "It's my business. Don't get involved; I don't want to drag you into this."

"Drag me into this?" Zhang Menglong was even more surprised, "You're joking. What could possibly drag me into this?"

"Did you just freeze the river?" Wang Ling asked, "Don't tell me my eyes are playing tricks. Last time, your bodyguard did something similar. Don't treat me like a fool."

"Yes," Zhang Menglong admitted openly.

"Those people, they have the same abilities," Wang Ling said. "And they might be even more capable than you and Ye Yin. They will kill!"
