"Don't move! Police!"

Before they had taken two steps, their shoulders were simultaneously grabbed, followed by a low, stern rebuke.

"Officer, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll be good, please don't handcuff me..."

"I swear I didn't do anything today!"

Pickpocket Liu Jilong was startled and said with a mournful face.

But before he could finish speaking...

He was grabbed by the arm and taken to a nearby van.

"Splash!"

As the car door opened, a group of anti-terrorism special police officers wearing masked headscarves and carrying black rifles were seen inside.

They all turned their heads and stared at them with icy eyes.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jilong's legs went weak instantly.

I almost knelt down on the ground.

This is quite a spectacle.

They clearly intended to drag him straight to the execution ground and shoot him!

Did I steal a phone containing state secrets...?

"I confess, I admit it, I report it! I also have an accomplice named Zhao Laosan!"

"Officer, please spare my life..."

Staring at the dark array of rifles in the masked SWAT officer's hand, Liu Jilong couldn't help but shed tears.

"Enough talk, get up there!"

The plainclothes officer who was responsible for pressing down on Liu Jilong behind him shoved him into the car without saying a word.

To avoid having the pickpocket disrupt the surveillance plan.

Soon, another pickpocket, Zhao Laosan, was also arrested and put into a vehicle full of armed police officers.

Seeing this, the cowardly pickpocket almost fainted in front of a group of armed police officers.

"Take them under control first, and then hand them over to the police station after we've completed our mission!"

Squad leader Geng Weifeng, sitting in the command vehicle, impatiently gave the order.

Hundreds of special police and armed police officers were originally there to lie in wait and arrest Wang Yueheng, a "big shot" in the underworld.

As a result, they caught two small mice at the beginning.

That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

What left Geng Weifeng speechless was...

Not long after.

Three more pickpockets were brought in by plainclothes police officers.

One of them was a young college student who saw someone else's wallet and acted on a whim.

Like the first two pickpockets.

Seeing heavily armed anti-terrorism special police officers, whom you've only ever seen in movies and TV series, appear in front of you.

The thief, thinking he was in deep trouble, almost fainted.

The young college student was so frightened that his pants got soaked.

It turns out that their initial idea was the same as that of Zhao Laosan and others.

Many pickpockets in Jiang City wanted to take advantage of the recording opportunity of the popular variety show "Masked Singer" on Jiang Province TV to fish in the TV station square and make a quick buck.

As a result, like flies that have walked into a trap, they were all arrested on the spot by plainclothes police officers.

The local police station even arranged a bus to take the pickpockets away.

The police station chief who came to coordinate was all smiles.

"Unfortunately, Wang Yueheng is still unaware of the situation."

"Otherwise, with over thirty thieves caught on a variety show set, wouldn't that have topped the entertainment news charts by now...?"

Geng Weifeng, the branch captain who was in charge of the city's criminal investigation team, squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette and thinking dejectedly.

...

"Bei Xuan, are you ready? The official recording is about to begin!"

I wish you the best of luck in achieving excellent results this time!

In the backstage dressing room, producer Ni Yongying walked in and asked Wang Yueheng with concern.

At this moment, Wang Yueheng had changed back into his cunning fox outfit.

It has been restored to the appearance of the previous "Bei Xuan" episodes.

However, they haven't put on the heavy hood yet.

"Sister Ni, you flatter me. The other finalists are also very strong. I will try to perform at my normal level."

Wang Yueheng smiled and responded modestly.

He stayed in the lounge the whole time.

Unbeknownst to them, the entire television station building was already surrounded by police.

It was only because of Chen Anren's vague, unconscious cries.

"By the way, do you know about the Hunan TV show 'I Am a Singer 2024'?"

Ni Yongying then brought up this topic again in casual conversation.

"I heard that the game starts tonight, right?"

"It seems to be only an hour later than our live stream?"

Wang Yueheng nodded and said.

In fact, at the same moment.

Hunan TV is also busy preparing.

All the contestants, including international superstar rapper Eem, are now in place.

They were just waiting for the competition to start so they could take turns going on stage to perform.

"Yes."

"Fortunately, Hunan TV's programs air a little later than ours."

"Otherwise, I'd really be worried about having a live-streaming conflict with them."

"That will also have a huge impact on our popularity."

"After all, there are many well-known singers there, including veteran singers like Yehena who are mentors, and even overseas stars."

"We only have one popular singer here, and you're still anonymous. As for the other singers, forget about them."

Ni Yongying said with a lingering fear.

If it really clashes with the recording schedule of "Singer 2024," which is held every four years.

Perhaps I, as the producer, will have to change the recording time separately to avoid a direct confrontation between the two sides.

Compared to Hunan TV, which excels at producing variety shows and consistently ranks among the top-tier in viewership ratings.

Jiangxi Satellite TV currently ranks among the top-tier second-tier provincial satellite TV channels in terms of viewership.

If it weren't for the dark horse Wang Yueheng, who boosted the popularity of "The Great Singer of China" and achieved a ratings comeback, it would have been impossible.

Perhaps Jiangxi TV is still stuck at the bottom of the second tier.

"Buzzing~"

As they were talking.

Producer Ni Yongying's phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, I was surprised to find that it was a call from Director Yu Shili.

"Director Yu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ni Yongying answered the phone in front of Wang Yueheng and asked.

"Producer Ni, there's been an emergency. Our recording for this episode will have to be postponed for a while!"

"You should immediately notify all departments to suspend recording."

"We especially need to let Wang Yueheng go on stage a little later!"

Then came the anxious voice of the station director, Yu Shili, over the phone.

Even Wang Yueheng, who was sitting on the sofa, heard it clearly.

"Postponing the recording of the program? Why?"

Ni Yongying was stunned and subconsciously asked a question in return.

Wang Yueheng also frowned.

The production team was all prepared, but it's rare for a variety show recording to be postponed due to a last-minute decision from above.

Unless there is an accident or unforeseen event on site, the original program schedule is usually postponed.

"An important person wants to come and watch the game."

"We have to wait for him to arrive before we can start recording."

"To be honest, I don't know who this person is either."

"Just know that his identity is special, and make arrangements quickly!"

Station Director Yu Shili had clearly just received the news, and his tone also revealed confusion and exhaustion.

"An important person is coming to see my performance? They even postponed their variety show recording..."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Yueheng was also puzzled.

Who is it?

How could a provincial TV station disrupt its plans and postpone program recording just to wait for the other party's arrival?

However, the program was unexpectedly postponed.

This episode of "Masked Singer" finale is bound to face off against Hunan TV's "I Am a Singer 2024"!
