Chapter 55
“Luo…Luo…Luo…” The male blogger was so excited that he couldn’t even speak clearly. His neck, which had become unusually strong due to excessive exercise, had now turned purple-red.
"What are you talking about? Are you calling him a pig?" The other blogger who had just teased him couldn't help but speak up.
But this time, the male blogger ignored it and rushed to where Luo Jingyao and the other three were at an extremely fast speed. Then he stopped carefully a few steps away.
He rubbed his jeans nervously with his hands and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, are you Luo Jingyao?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Pang Guang and others widened their eyes in surprise. They seemed to have not expected that among the group of people brought by Lin Jiafan, there would be an acquaintance of their own physical trainer.
Luo Jingyao was also a little confused at the moment. She first reached out and forcefully slapped back Pang Guang's arm, which was a little slack. Then she looked at the newcomer blankly: "Do we know each other?"
"Ah!" The male blogger let out a quick, brief, and extremely excited cry, shaking his head frantically: "I don't know her, but I'm your fan!"
ha?
In response to him, Pang Guang and the other two opened their mouths slightly wide in surprise.
Luo Jingyao was obviously a little confused. Although she didn't understand, she still smiled politely.
"Luo Shen! I have watched your training videos over and over again on the Internet. Can you sign an autograph for me? It would be even better if we could take a photo together!" After the male blogger said this, he began to rummage through his bag, and finally handed over a notebook and a pen with hope.
To be honest, Luo Jingyao was a little dazed.
Before she retired, fans would show up to her matches, and she'd be asked for photos or autographs afterward. But because the projects she worked on were relatively niche, she didn't experience much of the fan attention.
This seemed to be the first time that someone recognized him outside the stadium and asked for his autograph.
Subconsciously reaching out to take the notebook, she expertly signed her name on one page. As she handed it back, she casually asked, "You said you've seen my training videos?"
"Yes! It's still in my favorites!" The male blogger was eager to prove it, so he took out a few videos from his mobile phone and showed them to her like a treasure.
After taking a few glances, Luo Jingyao knew she was wrong. That was not a video of her Sanda training, but some strength training videos she usually did.
These should be some daily training clips released by the official of the club where I used to work.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that her previous coach had actually mentioned to her that she was quite popular in the fitness circle now, but she never took it to heart.
When she came to her senses, she saw that the male blogger had already raised his phone and was ready to take a selfie with her. Luo Jingyao could only cooperate by slightly raising her head and making a "V" sign to the camera.
Unexpectedly, after the male blogger reminded them, the remaining ones also recognized her.
But in the blink of an eye, Luo Jingyao was surrounded by these people, and she was a little dizzy from all the signing and photo taking.
Pang Guang and the other two, completely ignored, had already retreated to Lin Jiafan's side. Seeing the madness before them, the young man couldn't help but sigh, "Is Coach Luo so awesome? Why didn't I know this before?"
Guo Zhen also shook his head. "Deputy Director Zhang is such a stubborn person, but he signed the contract with her so readily. I had thought she was something special, but I didn't expect her to be this special."
At this point, he glanced at Lin Jiafan uncertainly: "Captain Lin, did you know this a long time ago?"
Lin Jiafan didn't respond directly to this question: "You guys go back and wash your faces and wipe off the sweat. We still have to take statements from these people later!"
"What about Coach Luo?" Pang Guang blurted out subconsciously, and after he reacted, he realized that he had asked a nonsense question.
Quietly, they left the training room one after another.
After Luo Jingyao finally dealt with the group of bloggers in front of her, she looked up to see that the door of the training room was empty, and there was no sign of the special case investigation team.
At this moment, Lin Jiafan's handsome face flashed through her mind. It should have been elegant and refined, but for some reason it seemed a bit cunning.
While everyone around her was busy posting on Weibo and videos, Luo Jingyao took out her cell phone, opened the man's dialog box, and typed a few words forcefully: two classes.
The other party replied quickly with an emoticon saying "OK".
Comforted by the money, her mood immediately improved a lot. After hanging up the phone, she kindly invited everyone to sit back in their chairs.
Naturally, bloggers would not miss this opportunity. The person they had only kept in their favorites and admired from time to time suddenly appeared before their eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had countless questions to ask.
Luo Jingyao chatted with everyone in a friendly manner for quite a while, until her mouth became dry. Then she subtly changed the subject: "So you're all here because of Cheng Yinan's murder?"
The male blogger who first recognized her, who introduced himself as Ning Jun, nodded and said, "You also know about this?"
"It's such a big deal online, it's impossible not to know about it." Luo Jingyao spread her hands helplessly. "You and Cheng Yinan are friends in the same circle, right? It seems like you have a good relationship, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way to Jinshi just for him."
She roughly identified that this group of people should have appeared in the party video shot by the blogger with the ID "Liberation Malusi".
Ning Jun didn't know how to respond to this for a moment. In the end, he just smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands: "Well, cooperating with the police is everyone's responsibility!"
With a slight movement of her eyebrows, Luo Jingyao quickly interpreted the deeper meaning of the other party's words.
Their relationship cannot be said to be too close, but because this wave of traffic is so huge, and they are anchors who make a living from traffic, they will try to take advantage of the popularity whenever possible.
After all, now if you just casually post a vlog related to the accidental death of explorer Xiao Cheng, the number of likes can easily exceed tens of thousands, and the number of views will be even higher.
After coming back to her senses, her gaze drifted uncontrollably towards the person sitting in the corner.
In fact, as early as when Lin Jiafan brought them in, she noticed him at first sight, not only because this person was particularly silent, but also because he was the Jiefang Malusi who had made an appointment with the deceased to go to Qianjin Resort City but failed to show up in the end.
Noticing where her gaze was directed, Ning Jun also glanced sideways, then helped 'Liberation Malusi' explain, "He and Cheng Yinan have the best relationship. He was the most upset when Cheng Yinan got into the accident. He definitely doesn't dislike you!"
The corner of her eye twitched, and Luo Jingyao said that she was not that confident and felt that everyone had to like her.
"How did you two meet? Are you from the same company?" She changed her question and asked something else.
Ning Jun shook his head. "Some of us have companies, and some are just random bloggers. As for how we met... there are only so many bloggers like this online. We occasionally attend activities together, and we become familiar with each other over time."
"Like Cheng Yinan and Gangzi... Ah, Gangzi is Jiefang Maluxi, his real name is Wu Yugang. They were college classmates, and after graduation they became bloggers together. In the beginning, they were so close that they almost wore the same pants!"
Luo Jingyao's eyelids jumped: "At the beginning? Is it not good now?"
"I didn't say that!" Ning Jun obviously knew that he had said the wrong thing. He seemed very flustered and glanced over there guiltily.
Fortunately, there was a lot of noise around, and the distance between him and the other person was far enough that he should not be able to hear anything.
After confirming the environment was safe, the man couldn't help but lean forward and said in a low voice, "It's actually quite ridiculous. Wu Yugang's ex-girlfriend is Cheng Yinan's current girlfriend."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes with an expression of 'you know what I mean'.
"The two of them did have a disagreement for a while because of this, but it's all over now, that's what they said anyway."
Luo Jingyao understood the psychology of this kind of people very well, and matched their expressions with a look of extreme shock: "No way?!"
As expected, her reaction greatly satisfied Ning Jun's love of gossip. The man raised the corner of his mouth in pleasure: "They say brothers are like brothers. They won't fall out just because of a woman."
"Recently, they've been filming videos together and going hiking like they used to. Cheng Yinan came to Jinshi because of Gangzi's suggestion. But then Gangzi had something urgent to do at home, so he came alone."
"Gangzi must be feeling really guilty right now. If he'd been there last night, this wouldn't have happened. By the way, Coach Luo, there are tons of ghost stories about the resort city online. Are you a local? Is it really haunted there?"
"...Yeah, that's what people say." Luo Jingyao felt that she was not really deceiving people. Indeed, many locals swore that they had seen ghosts there.
"Is this true?" Ning Jun unconsciously raised his hand and touched the back of his neck which was a little cold.
In response, Luo Jingyao just smiled and said, "By the way, being a blogger is pretty hard, isn't it? You're always traveling all over the place, and you might offend people if you're not careful."
"Hey, if you want to make a living, what can you do?" Ning Jun seemed to have found a kindred spirit and began to pour out his grievances. "Advertisers, sponsors, bosses from various industries, rival anchors—everyone has to be handled with care. If you offend them carelessly, you won't even know what's happening."
"For a big anchor like Cheng Yinan, there are many people who like him, but there are even more people who dislike him, right?" she asked casually.
"Not really. Xiao Cheng is well-known in the industry for his good relationships and ability to get things done. He also has a huge fan base, so advertisers are all very friendly to him." Ning Jun said, a hint of envy on his honest face. "Sometimes when he doesn't have time or can't accept an advertisement, he will take the initiative to introduce it to us. We are all very grateful to him."
"There are definitely some who are jealous of him. I remember something happened a few days ago..."
The man's chattering mouth suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed several times.
