Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

Chu Muxi put on the makeup and looked in the mirror. His face was gray, and he pretended to be frightened, acting as if he had been caught.

“Okay.” Chu Muxi turned to look at Lu Junzhi. Lu Junzhi was momentarily stunned, then he saw Chu Muxi holding his head in his hands with a panicked expression. He trembled, “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, father, father, save me!”

Lu Junzhi instinctively reached out to hug him, but Chu Muxi put down his hand, raised his head, and smiled at him.

“How is it? Does the acting look convincing?”

Lu Junzhi gazed at him deeply, “It looks convincing.”

Taha was amazed, “That’s great.”

Chu Muxi shrugged, “Seems like I’m quite talented.”

He then remembered. He had promised Cen Xue to help shoot a themed event, but with recent events happening one after another, he had completely forgotten about it.

When they get back, he had to visit the dessert shop and find the old man first.

“Boss.” Zhou Xun’s voice suddenly sounded on the internal broadcast.

“Speak,” Lu Junzhi replied.

“Chu Tianhao has made contact here.” Zhou Xu and the others were currently on another starship. Chu Tianhao must have noticed something and now sent a communication to confirm.

Chu Muxi looked at Lu Junzhi, “Should I go there?”

Lu Junzhi shook his head, “No need.” Then he said to Zhou Xun, “Transfer the communication to this starship.”

“Okay, boss.”

Lu Junzhi looked at Chu Muxi, “Are you ready?”

Chu Muxi nodded and said to Taha, “Let’s get started.”

Taha scratched his head, “Then, please excuse me Young Master Chu.” After saying that, he bound Chu Muxi’s hands behind his back. As he did so, he secretly glanced at his boss standing not far away. Approaching Chu Muxi, he kept a certain distance and whispered, “Young Master Chu, after it’s over. Help me put in a good word with the boss, okay?”

“What?” Chu Muxi was stunned. Although his hands were bound behind his back, the other party’s touch was very light, a bit uncomfortable but not painful.

“I finally understand why those guys were eager to fight and sent me here because of my good makeup skills. Damn it, I’m in the deep airport with a 50-kilogram of make up this time. I’m afraid I won’t be able to run anymore.” Taha said quietly.

Only then did Chu Muxi realize what he was talking about, and he couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and sighs. “It’s okay, you’re on a mission. Lu… your boss will understand,” he comforted Taha.

Taha, on the verge of tears but with no actual tears, said, “I’d like to thank you for your good wishes, Young Master Chu. Here we go.” Immediately after, he put on a fierce look and roared, “Behave!”

Chu Muxi screamed in apparent pain. There was a sound, and Taha’s back suddenly felt cold; the hand that was gripping Chu Muxi stopped abruptly.

Oh no, the acting was going so smoothly and he got into the role right away.

Finished! He would be finished once it was over!

.

“Muxi?!” Chu Tianhao frowned on the big screen and said very dissatisfied, “What do you mean?”

Despite not being on the same starship, thanks to some advanced technology, Chu Muxi and Zhou Xu appeared on the same screen from Chu Tianhao’s perspective.

“This isn’t fun, Boss Chu. You’re not being authentic.” Zhou Xu said gloomily.

Chu Tianhao questioned, “What are you talking about?”

“Let us pick up your son, and then send others to rob our starship on the way. Boss Chu, what’s your game? Do you want to play both sides?” Zhou Xu said seriously, snorting, “You’re underestimating our boss.”

“I didn’t send anyone else here.” Chu Tianhao frowned, “Maybe they’re your own enemies.”

“Hahaha, Chu Boss, let’s be clear. Do you dare to claim that you’re not interested in the contents of our spaceship?” Zhou Xu narrowed his eyes.

Chu Tianhao’s expression darkened. “I’ve said it; that thing is not for me; it belongs to someone else. I’m just a middleman for you. My son has been handed over to you as a hostage.”

“Boss Chu is truly a man of great deeds. He sent his son as a hostage without hesitation at all. One has to wonder if your son is really valued by you as you claim.”

Chu Muxi whined twice in cooperation and looked at Chu Tianhao in disbelief.

Chu Tianhao said sadly, “Muxi, don’t listen to their nonsense. Father had no choice but to do so. Don’t worry; they won’t harm you. Once things here are settled, they will let you go.” He paused, then added directly, “When will you send the video to the Shen family? It’s best to get the transfer document today.”

“We’ll definitely send the video, but can we alter the conditions?” Zhou Xu dug his ears and said harshly.

Chu Tianhao exclaimed, “Don’t go too far! Do you know who is behind me?”

“Tsk, tsk, who cares about your relationship? As interstellar pirates, we just hand over the money and deliver the goods. Do you understand? If you don’t do what we say, we will send an extra copy of the video to the marquee of the Central Star Plaza. By then, the whole Central Star will know that you, Boss Chu, sold your son for glory and even colluded with pirates not only to seize your father-in-law’s family property but also planned to take his life.” Zhou Xu recounted Chu Tianhao’s deeds one by one, looking at Chu Tianhao’s increasingly gloomy face.

He whistled carelessly. “Tell me, can your Chu family still survive in the Central Star in the future?”

“You—ha, I didn’t say I disagreed.” Chu Tianhao took a deep breath. “Don’t be in rush. The things that could be talked, can still be talked. We have cooperated so many times, but the conditions you raised this time are a bit high. I need to discuss it with the boss before I can give you an answer.”

“Okay, then we’ll take care of your son first.”

Chu Muxi immediately started struggling crazily, and Taha pretended not to hold him back for a moment.

Chu Muxi immediately shouted, “Father! Save me!! Father! Save me!”

Chu Tianhao comforted, “Muxi, be obedient. They won’t harm you.”

“No, no—Father, is it true what they said? Did you really plan to harm Grandpa? Is it true that you sent me to them as a hostage? This can’t be true, right, Father!” Chu Muxi burst into tears.
