Chapter 12 Justice Strikes! Catching Donors Who Flee with Their Donations…
Chocolate Puff didn't even bring her usual big camera today, only a point-and-shoot camera worth a few thousand dollars, just in case she got too excited when she found out where Grape Sister was hiding.
"Go ahead." Lin Suxing, who had taken another nap in the car, rubbed her eyes and looked at the fans still waiting outside the fence. She asked the system, "Is that Sister Grape really mixed in with these fans? How come she wasn't recognized?"
Logically speaking, many of these professional fan site admins know each other in private. They often pick up and drop off celebrities together and have meals together. Even if they don't know each other's real names, they should still be able to recognize each other by their faces.
At this moment, several fans who had been scammed by Sister Grape, who had been called there by Chocolate Puff, put down their cameras and listened intently to the conversation between Lin Suxing and the system.
What? The fact that they can hear Lin Suxing's thoughts is supernatural?
They don't care!
If Lin Suxing truly knows Grape Sister's whereabouts and can help them find her, then Lin Suxing is their god!
No matter who they change their identities to pursue in the future, as long as Lin Suxing calls, they will immediately appear to help promote, fight against negative publicity, and vote for their idols!
Thinking about the gossip she had collected, the system felt increasingly that it was a very useful system: "Others may not know, but I am a gossip-eating system, of course I know. After Sister Grape raised a sum of money, the first thing she did was go to H country for plastic surgery, and only then did she cancel her account and phone number and hide in H country. But recently, because she ran out of money, she took the risk of coming back to continue scamming money."
Lin Suxing understood: "No wonder." If someone has had full-face surgery, and many fan site admins wear masks, it is indeed difficult to recognize them.
Chocolate Puff anxiously awaited Lin Suxing's system to reveal Grape Sister's location, her palms and forehead already beaded with sweat.
In an instant, the entire circle of fans and fansite admins turned to look at the woman with long, wine-red hair standing not far away!
Indeed, everyone within a ten-meter radius of Lin Suxing heard Lin Suxing's thoughts and his conversation with the system.
Including Meng Huaiwen, who was looking at the crowd with a complicated expression, trying his best to suppress his excitement at the spectacle.
Although Meng Huaiwen seems ruthless and doesn't talk much, he's actually just a tall, simple-minded guy who loves listening to gossip.
He secretly thought to himself: When I get home, I must get my mom and dad to sign Lin Suxing's contract, then I can enjoy all this gossip every day!
Meanwhile, in the fan area, enemies were meeting again. Chocolate Puff, her eyes bloodshot with rage, shouted, "Sisters, charge!"
Before Grape Sister could react, her clothes were suddenly grabbed, and the next moment her sun hat and sun protection mask were ripped off!
Grape Sister: ?
The woman behind the mask had no makeup on, and obvious signs of double eyelid surgery and adjustments to several facial features were visible.
The more you hate her, the more you love her. Even though her face has been completely altered, Chocolate Puff can still recognize her as Grape Sister!
Although Sister Grape didn't know what these people wanted to do, people who have done bad things feel guilty, and her instinctive sense of danger made her subconsciously want to turn around and run away!
Chocolate Puff didn't give her a chance to escape. She and another fan, Summer Ice Cream, each grabbed one of Grape Sister's arms, keeping her firmly under control in the crowd.
The area was now surrounded by angry fans who looked like they wanted to tear Grape Sister apart.
Grape Sister realized that this was not a conflict caused by fighting for a seat, but a premeditated "capture" targeting her personally!
"What are you doing!" Grape Sister continued to resist, believing that she couldn't be recognized after having plastic surgery. "I didn't fight you for a spot, why are so many of you attacking me? If you keep this up, I'll call the police!"
But what she didn't expect was that while her face could be surgically altered, her voice couldn't. After hearing her speak, Chocolate Puff was completely certain that the person in front of her was Sister Grape!
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Chocolate Puff's heart in an instant, including the sadness and pain of being betrayed, as well as the anger and confusion of having someone she trusted run off with her money.
Her hand trembled as she pointed directly at Grape Sister's face: "You know why! Grape, you can't even look me in the eye!"
The light blue cat-eye nail polish almost poked Grape Sister's unnaturally high nose bridge.
Lin Suxing was talking to the system when he was startled: "Huh? What's going on?!"
Why did those girls with cameras suddenly get into a physical altercation?
He wanted to step forward to mediate the fight, but Meng Huaiwen stopped him: "Wait a minute, let's see what's going on first."
When her name was called, Grape Sister froze, glanced at the chocolate puff, and then immediately looked away.
She really didn't dare to look directly at the chocolate puff; the other person was too familiar with her, and it would be easy to give herself away.
Oh, someone like her, who would run off with the money of fans and colleagues to get plastic surgery and speculate on cryptocurrency, certainly wouldn't avoid eye contact with the other person out of a guilty conscience.
Compared to chocolate puffs, summer ice cream seemed much calmer: "Grape, I've already called the police. Since you dare to come back, just wait to face the law."
"You've mistaken me for someone else! I'm Spring_Honey! What grape? I just joined this year!" Grape Sister was still putting up a stubborn resistance.
She wouldn't have risked returning to China if she hadn't run out of money.
She started following celebrities when she was in school and made a living as a professional fan site administrator after graduation. So after returning to China, she tried other jobs, but gave them up because they were too slow to bring in money.
In the end, she returned to the fandom, changed her ID, and continued to support talent show contestants.
Because talent shows involve voting, fans will spontaneously raise funds, and new fan sites can quickly gain accounts and make money.
Grape Sister originally wanted to replicate her money-making scheme from last year, make a quick buck, and then run away again. But who would have thought that before the show even aired its first episode, her true identity would be discovered!
Chocolate Puff was already laughing in anger, and cursed, "I was wondering why you keep saying you're new to the scene, but you're so skilled at anti-black marketing. Several fan sites of our Produce producers said they wanted to have a get-together, but you never showed up! Aren't you just afraid that if you take off your mask, we'll recognize you? Ugh! You jerk!"
"Give us back the money we worked so hard to sell the materials! Give us our money back!!" The fan site admin, Mint Milk Green, couldn't control her emotions and shouted first.
Last year, she worked with Sister Grape, and many of her fans, including some frugal high school students, were scammed out of their money by Sister Grape.
They said they would collect a reservation fee first, and then order all the materials, but in reality, they would take the money and then cancel the contract and run away!
Mint Milk Green feels so sorry for those girls who save money by skipping breakfast to vote and buy materials, only to be scammed by Grape Sister.
"RNM, refund my money!" "RNM, refund my money!" "RNM, refund my money!"...
The fans standing nearby were also very excited, and they all shouted out a classic line from a fan when the Chinese national football team lost a game.
Lin Suxing was stunned: "They actually recognized... Sister Grape, who had plastic surgery and was fully armed with a mask and hat?"
That's incredible insight! So powerful!
However, Lin Suxing was still relieved to see the bad guys caught: "I was originally thinking of exposing them online so they would find out. Now that they have found out, that's even better."
The situation on the field was chaotic. All the fans gave up chasing their stars and chose to crowd around to watch the excitement. Lin Suxing and Meng Huaiwen were suddenly left alone, and the security guards became idle.
Seeing the security guards following around them, looking around as if they wanted to see what was going on, Lin Suxing said understandingly, "Why don't you go with them to maintain order over the fans' side? We're about to enter the building, so we don't need them."
The security guard immediately beamed and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then you all take your time. I'll go check on them. Don't let them crowd together; it's not safe."
Before long, the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance. Lin Suxing turned around and asked the system, "This time, Grape shouldn't be able to escape, right?"
The system replied: "Of course, her top priority right now is to be careful not to get kicked a few more times by those angry fan site admins."
The two followed the selection manager to the venue for the recording of the spin-off program. Yu Yicheng immediately came over and said, "Su Xing, Huai Wen, we can all have hot pot together at the end of the spin-off program. Why didn't you come?"
Lin Suxing & Meng Huaiwen: ?
They actually have hot pot?!
Meng Huaiwen, who had been eating a weight-loss diet for many days, had tears in his eyes: "Brother Cheng, you're so kind. You always think of us when there's something good. So you called us over just to have hot pot."
Lin Suxing almost drooled from the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Producer Yu."
"Don't be so polite. You two are the same. The other contestants are eager to participate in more recordings, but you two even took leave to sleep." Yu Yicheng smiled and patted the two on the shoulder.
If it were any other contestant, Yu Yicheng wouldn't bother reminding them.
It's all because one of their ancestors was the young master of the Lin Group, and the other was the heir of Galaxy Entertainment!
The three of them walked inside chatting and laughing. Just as Lin Suxing was feeling quite pleased with herself, the system suddenly emitted a sharp, loud alarm: "Ahhhhh, this is terrible, host! Lin Ke has someone leak information on Douban, saying that you and Meng Huaiwen are ganging up on him, leading the bullying, and stealing his center position!"
Lin Suxing's smile froze, feeling like she was about to jump over a fire pit again: "Who would believe him if he said that? That I bullied him?"
"Lin Ke's fans originally thought that with no other popular contestants in Group D, Lin Ke was definitely going to be the center. Now that the show hasn't even aired yet and no one knows who the center is, it's suddenly been revealed online that the center isn't Lin Ke but you, who has lower popularity. Lin Ke's fans are absolutely furious! Even if you didn't actually bully her, they will deliberately spread the news that you ganged up to bully Lin Ke because of their dissatisfaction and anger at not getting what they expected!"
