Chapter 8 Fearless "From now on, we'll rely on you a lot, Brother Jin..."

Having located the familiar face, Mo Ningzhi opened the door and got out of the car.

He knew there was a risk involved; if he got out of the car or closed the door a little slower, Qin Weijin behind him would be caught in the crossfire.

There's really no need for a hater like him to go to such lengths.

But he was really fed up with the noise, and remembering the medicine bottle in his pocket, Mo Ningzhi felt that he needed to repay Qin Weijin's favor, and getting rid of these haters was the best way to return the favor.

As soon as Mo Ningzhi got out of the car, the sudden increase in the intensity of the shouts almost ruptured his eardrums. He pressed himself tightly against the car door, not daring to move an inch.

"..."

We underestimated the sonic attack power of this group.

In the crowd, a girl with long blonde hair saw his face, her eyes widened suddenly, and she performed a professional face-changing act on the spot. After realizing what had happened, she quickly stretched out her arm to stop the people next to her, her sneakers coming to a screeching halt: "Wait! Wait! Listen to me!"

"Quiet! You promised to listen to me today!"

"Shut up, all of you! If you don't behave, I won't play with you next time!"

He shouted it three times before the crowd finally quieted down.

The blonde girl was shoved and pushed in front of Mo Ningzhi, her mouth wide open, her throat pointing straight at Mo Ningzhi.

"you……"

Mo Ningzhi interrupted her before she could say anything more, introducing herself: "I am Qin Weijin's assistant."

"Assistant? I've never seen you before."

"Newly appointed."

The blonde woman crossed her arms and scrutinized him for a while, while Mo Ningzhi was also observing her.

"Oh, I know, he was trending on social media! I remember him!"

"That's right, it really is Qin Weijin's assistant!"

"Let him out!"

The blonde girl raised her hand to stop the noise and gestured with her chin at Mo Ningzhi: "What do you want to say?"

Mo Ningzhi looked up at her without any emotion and said, "It's nothing. I just came down to get some fresh air. It was too stuffy in the car."

girl:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Are you mentally ill?

“We’ve already called the police, and they’ll be here soon. You should leave now,” Mo Ningzhi said after a few seconds of silence.

"Why should I?"

"You think we'll just leave because you tell us to? Who do you think you are!"

"You think we're scared just because the police are here? Let me tell you, don't even think about letting us go!"

The blonde girl stared at Mo Ningzhi for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even a police officer has to be a little afraid."

"But didn't you say before..."

"What's all the fuss about? Can't I change now? You ate breakfast in the morning, so why don't you eat dinner?" the blonde retorted impatiently.

"..."

The blonde girl raised her hand and gestured, "Retreat."

The remaining haters were still somewhat unwilling, but even the leaders wavered, perhaps indicating that the situation was urgent. This was a pre-arranged signal before the operation began. They stopped and, after hesitating for a few seconds, turned and left.

The blonde girl walked at the back. She reached out and patted Mo Ningzhi on the shoulder, whispering, "How did you come up with this idea? Impressive. Keep it up, undercover agent."

Mo Ningzhi: "..."

Back in the car, Mo Ningzhi looked up and saw several pairs of eyes staring at her with suspicion, as if she had seen a ghost.

"How could I have known... that they... that they just left like that?" Xiao Guo was a little dazed. He peered out the window for a while before he could really believe that the crisis had been resolved just like that.

"I think so," Mo Ningzhi began to feign ignorance.

Qin Weijin wasn't so easily fooled. His eyes were deep as he looked over. "What method did you use to persuade them to leave?"

Being besieged by anti-fans and sasaeng fans is never a trivial matter in the entertainment industry. In addition to being unable to travel normally, the team may also face serious personal threats. If fans act too aggressively, there may be incidents such as smashing cars, ramming into vehicles, or attempting to force open car doors.

In every situation like today, the police have to be called to resolve it, the matter has blown up, and the media has made a huge fuss about it.

Even if Qin Weijin had witnessed it firsthand, he still found it unbelievable that someone would leave so easily after being persuaded.

Mo Ningzhi's expression was extremely calm: "I just told them directly that we have already called the police, and if they don't want to go to the police station and cry their eyes out, they should leave now."

Xiao Guo: "That's it?"

Mo Ningzhi nodded: "Mm."

Xiao Guo and Xu Hangxing stared at him, their faces saying, "You probably think I'm an idiot."

Mo Ningzhi remained calm and composed, her expression flawless. Even if they had doubts, they couldn't find any clues and could only attribute everything to coincidence, or perhaps these obsessive fans were special, being obedient and fearful.

Mo Ning glanced at Qin Weijin out of the corner of her eye and saw that the other man was still staring at her with a deep look in his eyes, clearly not believing her nonsense.

But it doesn't matter, he hid his braids very well.

The leader of the anti-fans is fearless.

...

Qin Weijin arrived at the film set safely, but was still a few minutes late. She needed to hurry up and touch up her makeup so as not to delay her afternoon schedule. Not a single moment could be wasted.

This was Mo Ningzhi's first time observing the behind-the-scenes work of a celebrity. Standing in front of a huge green screen, dozens of staff members were busy working on the final two minutes of the finished product.

Qin was ready for Jin and stood in front of the camera.

Mo Ningzhi held Qin Weijin's personal belongings in her hand and waited outside the camera's view.

Qin Weijin at work is very different from his daily life. He has a serious look in his eyes and a relaxed expression. He doesn't seem to be numb from the tedious schedule at all. He enjoys his job very much.

After watching for a short while, my phone secretly vibrated in my pocket.

Mo Ning knew without guessing who it was. He glanced around, found a quiet corner, took out his phone, and saw that it was indeed the blonde girl from before.

[The Old Mushroom Picker]: I knew why the previous plans failed; it turns out you were the one who sabotaged them.

A few months ago, Mo Ningzhi overheard someone in a hater group talking about a popular male idol cheating on three women at the same time. He immediately seized on the information and arranged to meet the person privately.

The person who came to keep the appointment that day was this blonde girl.

Mo Ningzhi successfully secured his position in the company with this bombshell revelation and even received a bonus.

Later, he got busy with work and rarely spoke in the group chat. The girl also changed her online name, so he didn't recognize her.

Mo Ningzhi twitched the corner of her mouth and typed quickly.

[Goodmorning]: If you're paid to do someone's job, you have no choice but to do it.

【Old Mushroom Picking Girls】: You have the nerve to say that? I suspected something was wrong in the group yesterday. I suspected many people but not you. You've been hiding it well.

[The Old Mushroom Picker]: I'm starting to feel sorry for Qin Weijin, you big liar.

Mo Ningzhi raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "Is it appropriate for a radical stalker fan like you to say such a thing?"

He replied, "If I remember correctly, you were the one who planned the offline event."

They're both just as bad as each other.

[The old mushroom picker]: I'm just doing this for money. Otherwise, who would want to do this thankless and annoying job that everyone curses at?

Mo Ningzhi was somewhat surprised by this.

The entertainment industry is notorious for its corruption and shady dealings, with countless unspoken rules hidden in the shadows. It's not uncommon for people to hire others to smear their rivals. However, he never expected that the ID shouting about the conflict plan in the group was actually a girl who was paid to do the work.

[Goodmorning]: Please keep this confidential and don't reveal my identity.

[The old mushroom picker]: Of course not, I would love to see such a scene, it's a once-in-a-century event, I only regret that I can't see it with my own eyes.

[Goodmorning]: Didn't you just say you sympathized with Qin for Jin?

【Old Mushroom Picking Girls】: Those are two different things. Sympathy is one thing, but it doesn't stop me from watching the show. This drama is exciting, so you're not allowed to cut off contact with me. I want to know every single detail of the interactions between the head of the anti-fans and the smear campaigner. Tsk, just thinking about it is so exciting.

[Old Mushroom Picking Girls]: Next time Qin Weijin hires an assistant, try to recommend me. I won't cause trouble or make things difficult; I'll just look after the two of you. Oh, and by the way, I can give you half of my salary.

[Gudemonin]: ...

After chatting for only a few minutes, a crew member from the film set suddenly came in and said that there were fans looking for them outside, from Qin Weijin's fan club.

Many celebrities in the industry actually maintain private contact with their fan clubs. For example, they might communicate with the fan club in advance about performance and event information, allowing the fan club to organize fan support activities. Brands and public relations departments might also utilize the fan club to arrange publicity and ticket distribution, while the fan club also handles information sharing and conflict resolution. In short, it's a very important organization.

Previously, Xu Hangxing was in charge of almost all of these things, but now that he's busy, the staff have found someone to help Mo Ningzhi.

Mo Ningzhi: "I'll go take a look, thank you."

He left the film set and walked out of the building. Several girls were standing under the shade of a tree outside the gate. They looked at each other, and the girls' eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's you!"

Mo Ning felt a sudden, sharp pain in her heart.

I almost thought I had been recognized again.

"You must be Brother Jin's new assistant." A pretty girl ran up to him and grabbed his hand. "I know you. I've seen you on the trending topics."

Mo Ningzhi: "...Is there something you need?"

"Great, that's exactly what we came for."

Mo Ningzhi was somewhat overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, and her smile froze slightly. "Did you need something from me?"

"Yes, we came here specifically to thank you." The girls took out several fragrant gifts and stuffed them into his arms without saying a word.

Plush toys, flower scarves, and sunglasses and watches packaged in boxes from a well-known brand—a diverse and dazzling array of items.

Mo Ning knew that people were unusually a bit silly.

"I am the vice president of the fan club. You can just call me Xiao Xie. Thank you for saving Brother Jin on the cruise ship. If it weren't for you, he might have fallen into the water or hit the ship's mast. Either way, his injuries would have been serious."

Xiao Xie said apologetically, "It might not be fair to you to say this, but I don't mean to gloat. We also brought you some medicine, which is in the box next to you. They are all original and unopened. We bought a little bit of various medicines because we didn't know how serious your injury was. You probably don't have any allergy medications, right?"

Mo Ningzhi looked at the gift in her arms, then at the sincere fans in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Xiao Xie bowed slightly to him with a look of deep respect: "I'm entrusting our Brother Jin to your care from now on."

Mo Ningzhi: "..."
