When the bonfire party of "Walking with Chao Chao" came to an end, Yan Chao Chao and his group returned to the hotel.
Cheng Aotian sat in the nanny car with a gloomy face.
His fingers tapped on the screen anxiously, but his finger stopped on the "Send" button and he was reluctant to press it.
After hesitating for a long time, he carefully deleted all emotional expressions, leaving only a plain sentence.
[Cheng Aotian: Sister Gong, tonight's trending searches seem different from what we discussed in the previous meeting. What happened?]
After sending the message, Cheng Aotian stared at his phone closely. When the screen was about to go dark, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Cheng Aotian couldn't wait to click on the reply.
[Gong Ling: A video clip has garnered attention, bringing up the gossip about you and Yan Chaochao.]
Cheng Aotian replied immediately.
[Cheng Aotian: So that’s how it is]
[Cheng Aotian: That trending search seems to have been on the list for a while.]
After sending this message, Cheng Aotian subconsciously glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the phone screen.
A full four hours had passed since he saw this trending search.
Gong Ling's reply made his heart sink.
[Gong Ling: Someone is trying to protect that trending search, so it's difficult to remove. We're still trying to communicate.]
Cheng Aotian's gaze lingered on the word "protect" for a long time before he slowly typed out his reply.
[Cheng Aotian: What's going on? Is it a competitor's management team?]
[Gong Ling: I've checked, and there's no such sign at the moment.]
Before Cheng Aotian could reply, Gong Ling's second reply came.
[Gong Ling: Have you ever offended anyone?]
Seeing the words sent by Gong Ling, Cheng Aotian's fingers trembled, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously tightened the phone in his hand.
Why did Gong Ling suddenly ask this question?
Did she receive any news?
In just a few seconds, Cheng Aotian's expression changed several times.
[Cheng Aotian: No]
Cheng Aotian: Sister Gong, you know my experience. I debuted as a trainee after participating in a program. How could I possibly offend anyone?
[Cheng Aotian: Why are you asking this all of a sudden?]
[Gong Ling: Just asking, it’s fine if there’s no answer]
After sending a reply to Cheng Aotian, the light in the conference room fell on Gong Ling's face, flickering, and her expression was also unclear.
Cheng Aotian's experience is indeed very transparent.
Amateurs enter the company as trainees and then participate in talent shows to debut.
Before this, Gong Ling had never doubted Cheng Aotian and thought that he had offended someone.
But this kind of thing happened again and again, and every incident clearly pointed to Cheng Aotian, so Gong Ling had no time to think about it.
Businessmen make huge profits.
In the past year, the company has allocated most of its personal activity resources to Cheng Aotian, who debuted as the center, because judging from his performance during the competition, investing resources in him is the investment with the highest input-output ratio.
But now...
Thinking of the growing popularity trend of NICE group members during this period, Gong Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.
No one is irreplaceable.
The resources were previously allocated to Cheng Aotian because investing in him could generate the highest returns.
But if you invest in other people and can get similar returns while avoiding uncontrollable risks, why not do it?
After all, for investment, high risk and high return are not impossible, but low risk and high return are the perfect result.
Gong Ling walked to the whiteboard and looked at the personal introduction cards of the NICE group members posted on the whiteboard.
She stared for a moment before reaching out and moving the card of Cheng Aotian, the top member, a little to the side. Then she pondered for a moment and slowly moved another member's card from the second row to next to Cheng Aotian.
On the card, a boy in a navy-collared school uniform was smiling brightly.
At the bottom of the card, the member's name is printed——
Owen Bo.

The next morning, Yan Chaochao was awakened on time by his biological clock.
As soon as Yan Chaochao got up, the smart lights in the room automatically lit up as she woke up. When she changed her clothes and walked to the window, the smart curtains recognized her arrival and opened automatically.
Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors of the hotel, you can have a panoramic view of the island scenery.
Yan Chaochao watched quietly for a while before she remembered the live broadcast footage.
Before the live broadcast of the program began, Tang Shilei specifically reminded her to keep the live broadcast going for as long as possible.
After Yan Chaochao turned on the live broadcast camera, all viewers who subscribed to "Walking with Chaochao" received a push notification at the same time. Although it was 4 a.m., a large number of viewers flocked in instantly.
[It's no wonder I got up early and waited in the live studio! ]
[I was just getting ready for bed... Why are you live streaming so early? Are you crazy?]
[Hahahahahaha, I can tell from the first part that I haven’t watched “Growing Up Together”. This is Yan Chaochao’s normal routine.]
Good morning!
Yan Chaozhao waved at the camera: "Good morning."
The barrage of comments instantly exploded because of Yan Chaozhao's action.
[5555 She smiled at me and said "good morning" to me. She has me in her heart.]
How many peanuts did you eat? You're so drunk this early in the morning. This is obviously my wife.
[Chao Chao is wearing sportswear. Is he going out for a run?]
"That's right." Yan Chaochao turned the camera so that the audience could also overlook the island from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It was still early at this time, and the junction of the beach and the coastline was blurred. The lighthouse flickered alone in the darkness, illuminating a light for the sailing fishing boats to go home.
There is no blue sea and no golden beach. The island at this time is so quiet that it seems strange.
"Okay, we're ready to go."
Yan Chaochao changed into Hermes running shoes, and the audience noticed that all of Yan Chaochao's sportswear was from Hermes.
[Hermes is really lucky to have such a dedicated spokesperson! ]
[These sneakers are so nice, do you have the part number?]
【I think I found it with the image recognition tool! 】
[!!! Really? I'll go check it out too.]
Just as a large number of people rushed to the Hermes official flagship store in the early morning, Yan Chaochao had already run out of the hotel.
As Yan Chaochao ran, they ran from the luxurious hotel garden all the way to the beach.
When they went to the beach yesterday, they took a car and the audience didn't have much time to observe the surrounding scenery. At this time, following Yan Chaochao's live camera, they finally saw the other scenery on the island besides the hotel.
The hotel is located in the center of the island. Walking out of the hotel and going all the way out is where other residents of the island live.
It was still dark at 4 a.m., but there were already noises coming from many shops.
The sound of the wheels of the tricycles bringing in goods, the sound of the fish shop owner tidying up his stall, the sound of cutting vegetables and the steam from the breakfast shop...it's a bustling atmosphere.
Everyone you meet on the street will give each other a bright smile.
[Suddenly I realized that everyone I met on the road was smiling]
[This feeling makes me feel warm]
I suddenly want to visit this island. I don’t necessarily want to stay in a fancy hotel, I just want to wander around the streets.
When Yan Chaozhao was running past the door of a flower shop, the owner of the flower shop even smiled and greeted Yan Chaozhao: "Where are you going?"
Although they had never met before, they were as enthusiastic as if they were old friends.
"Let's go to the beach." Faced with such enthusiasm, Yan Chaochao also smiled, "Watch the sunrise."
"Then wear this." The florist picked out a cosmos flower and gently twisted it around her fingers a few times. Before anyone could see her movements, it had already turned into a cosmos bracelet, which she put on Yan Chaochao's hand. "This is a flower that only appears in this season. It goes perfectly with the sunrise."
Yan Chaochao wanted to ask how much it cost, but when she met the smiling eyes of the florist, she suddenly stopped talking and said, "Thank you."
After saying this, Yan Chaochao gently touched the soft petals of the cosmos and said, "I will wear it to watch the sunrise."
When the flower shop owner heard Yan Chaochao's words, her eyes curved with smile.
***
After Yan Chaochao ran for a distance, a tall man wearing black long-sleeved shirt, long pants and a black baseball cap flashed behind the camera.
Some viewers in the live broadcast room noticed this strange man.
[Someone actually wears long pants and long sleeves on an island???]
[Hahahahahaha, it's so hot, and he still dares to wear this, isn't he hot? ]
[He even wore a black baseball cap]
[Laughing to death, I’m afraid it’s not social phobia itself]
There were only a few comments, and Yan Chaochao caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye, but suddenly frowned.
On a tropical island, the temperature is not low even in the early morning.
Including Yan Chaochao, almost everyone around was wearing short sleeves. In this situation, someone who was wearing all black and wrapped himself tightly was obviously having some problems.
Yan Chaochao stopped and continued to hold the live camera calmly. He quietly turned the direction of the camera along with the live broadcast and soon captured the unusual figure.
Yan Chaochao's sudden silence also attracted the audience's attention.
[Why did Chao Chao suddenly stop talking?]
[Hey? Isn't this the man in black from before?]
Following the live broadcast, the audience also noticed the man dressed in black.
In the camera, even though there was a hustle and bustle around him, the man in black walked straight in a certain direction. While walking, he kept his head down, his right hand in his large pocket, and he did not make any eye contact with the people around him.
Yan Chaochao followed the man silently.
After walking for a short distance, the man in black suddenly turned around and walked towards the street.
Discovered?
Yan Chaozhao frowned, but immediately denied this guess the next second.
impossible.
Her eyes followed the man's movements, and her pupils dilated instantly.
not good!
In just a few seconds, the man in black had walked into the flower shop that Yan Chaochao had just visited and suddenly took something out of his pocket with his right hand.
And as his right hand left his pocket, a knife flashed with cold light!
"careful!"
In an instant, Yan Chaochao had no time to think, and his body subconsciously rushed towards the place where the danger occurred.
Because of Yan Chaochao's shout, the flower shop owner, who was originally unprepared, became alert. She turned around and saw the man in black approaching her. She immediately screamed and took a few steps back.
The man in black was also startled by this sudden change, and his movements paused for a moment.
Just as the flower shop owner stepped back and the man in black paused, Yan Chaochao had already rushed in front of the man in black.
【Be careful! 】
【Oh My God! 】
Amid the exclamations of the audience in the live broadcast room, Yan Chaochao confronted the knife-wielding man in black with his bare hands.
The man in black's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he raised the knife and swung it at Yan Chaochao who was standing in front of the flower shop owner.
In Yan Chaochao's eyes, the action of just a few seconds was full of flaws.
Yan Chaozhao dodged the knife swung by the man in black by moving sideways, and calmly protected the hostess of the flower shop behind him. At the same time, he exerted force with his calves, bent his knees and kicked the man hard in the abdomen.
At the moment when the man in black felt pain and his strength loosened slightly, Yan Chaochao used his knuckles to hit the painful part of his wrist and snatched the knife from his hand in an instant!
The man in black still wanted to struggle, but how could Yan Chaochao give him the chance to fight back?
She kicked the black-clad man on the back of his knee, pressed the back of his neck with one hand, and exerted force instantly, pinning him to the ground.
All this happened in a flash. It was not until Yan Chaochao controlled the man in black that the people around him suddenly reacted and rushed forward, trying to control the man in black who was trying to commit the crime.
