[However, no one expected that this show would be so different. The viewership generated by the champion, or even the top two and three, was terrifyingly high.]

[It even surpassed the popularity of top-tier brands.]

[That's why the style of the second season changed drastically, with all sorts of deities participating, and Lu Wanqing was able to win the championship under such competition.]

[The first season is no problem for her at all.]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; reward: +6 Intelligence.]

The main storyline doesn't describe much about the first season, but it does mention these things: any show has the potential to test the waters in its first season.

If you can't increase your own popularity, then participating in the show won't be very effective.

It would be faster to release more songs and increase popularity.

If Ye Feng hadn't suddenly caused this, Luo Chen wouldn't have considered having Lu Wanqing participate ahead of schedule.

This is tantamount to using a nuclear bomb to blow up a fishpond.

With such vastly different strengths, why worry?

[...]

Everyone soon learned that Luo Chen was going back to Ningcheng.

After having dinner with Luo Chen, Lu Wanqing was absent-minded, and Qin Xiyao asked her about it with concern.

Lu Wanqing accidentally let it slip.

Even if she hadn't let it slip, Luo Chen would have told everyone about it anyway.

It's just a matter of time.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiyao immediately rushed to Luo Chen's villa.

Lu Wanqing, who looked completely bewildered, was also with them.

However, Luo Chen was not at the villa. When Qin Xiyao arrived, she only saw Tiger Soul and Raphael.

As for Luo Chen, he went out with Uncle Xu.

They said there was something they needed to do.

Ac nightclub.

It's not open during the day, and there's no one inside except for the security guards patrolling the entrance. The other staff members are not there.

Inside the VIP room, Uncle Xu and Luo Chen sat together.

This is the Ling family's territory. If any outsider tries to enter, they will be discovered immediately.

So it's safe for now.

"Young Master Luo, are you preparing to return to Ningcheng?"

Uncle Xu poured Luo Chen a drink. Drinking alcohol in broad daylight wasn't good, and Luo Chen wasn't in the mood for it anyway, so a drink was enough.

"yes."

Luo Chen nodded, then smiled helplessly, "I originally wanted to tell you myself, but you already know before I even said it. This makes me feel no sense of accomplishment at all."

"..."

Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment. Why would he need a sense of accomplishment for something like this?

It's just a trip back home, does it need to be so mysterious?

Of course, he wouldn't try to guess Luo Chen's thoughts too much, and then asked, "Should we tell the young ladies about this?"

If Miss knew that Young Master Luo was going back to Ningcheng, she would definitely be very happy.

It's been a month or so since they last met, so if she didn't miss him, she wouldn't keep asking about Luo Chen's situation.

Luo Chen was unaware of this matter.

Luo Chen stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

"Let's not go yet. Right now, only you guys know that I'm going back to Ningcheng. I'm worried that telling too many people might cause some trouble."

Although Ye Feng hasn't made any moves yet, he initially used his company to suppress Tianlai.

But this is not a big deal at all.

The other side has a superior strategy, and he naturally has a inferior one.

While the plot may not be omniscient or omnipotent, one shouldn't take such situations too lightly.

I can't guarantee that his return to Ningcheng won't have any impact, but I still don't want too many people to know.

If it's discovered later, at least there's still a way to deal with unexpected situations.

[...]

Luo Chen didn't plan to bring up this topic again, and he hadn't come here to discuss it.

Uncle Xu naturally understood, and seeing that Luo Chen would not continue speaking, he got down to business.

"Young Master Luo, I have already sent people to investigate the matter you asked me to investigate, but so far we haven't obtained much information."

When he said this, Uncle Xu's expression was not very good.

"It's alright, just tell me what you know."

Luo Chen didn't care much. This wasn't the Ling family's home turf, and there weren't many people they could use.

It's normal that you can't get more detailed information when you try to gather information.

Ling Qingyi has no plans to expand her underground influence here at the moment.

Otherwise, the underground forces in Yan Province would be even more chaotic.

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't blame him, Uncle Xu didn't delay any longer.

"Young Master Luo, I discovered a few suspicious things about the power outage at Tianlai the other day."

Luo Chen remained silent, waiting for Uncle Xu to continue.

"The construction of Tianlai was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the National Government. It is equipped with dual power sources, and an engine is also prepared on the rooftop in case of emergency."

"However, all these preparations were damaged. The signs of human intervention were not very obvious, as if they had been eroded in some way. But the more this was the case, the more one could sense that something was being concealed."

It is not yet clear what methods the other party used to corrode those devices, rendering them inoperable, but these matters are under investigation.

The progress has been somewhat slow due to a shortage of personnel.

Luo Chen went to Tianlai that day to see if he needed anything else, but then this happened.

If the elevator is functioning normally, there won't be much suspicion.

In this day and age, the probability of a power outage is very small, but it's not impossible; in some unforeseen circumstances, a power outage can still occur.

The equipment on the Teana is just very well done.

Equipped with dual power sources and an engine, it can continue to operate even during a power outage.

But none of those were of any use anymore.

Luo Chen wasn't stupid; how could he not have suspicions about something like this?

So they arranged for Uncle Xu to investigate.

Uncle Xu is a professional in this area.

"You mean someone deliberately sabotaged all of this in order to find something from the Heavenly Music?"

Luo Chen stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled.

"Logically speaking, that's correct."

Uncle Xu was equally puzzled.

The desire to obtain company secrets is no secret.

Such things often happen in hostile relationships.

But most of these activities are carried out secretly, using monetary transactions and inducing insiders to do them.

This way, the probability of problems is very small, and even if something goes wrong, it can be denied.

But this was the first time they had encountered such a grand spectacle, causing the entire Tianlai building to lose power.

It also damaged the equipment.

This really puzzled them.

Neither of them expected that Tianlai had any important secrets that would warrant such a move from the other party.

"I don't understand. The clues are too obvious, so obvious that you can tell who did it right away."

Luo Chen shook his head.

Uncle Xu did not speak.

Right now, the one targeting Tianlai the most is undoubtedly Zhu Tian and his gang.

In the beginning, more than a dozen entertainment companies suppressed Tianlai and poached many singers and stars, which is common knowledge.

Now that this has happened, it's easy to connect it to Zhu Tian's side.

It's precisely because the clues are so obvious that we can't understand them.

Solving the case was too easy.
