Chapter 174 The mantis stalks the cicada



Chapter 174 The mantis stalks the cicada

Chang Wanming's face turned pale. He stared at Hu Xiaoxiao's back, gritting his teeth, his eyes looking like he wanted to kill someone: "Stop right there!"

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't want to waste his breath and continued walking towards Charlie's office.

Behind him, Chang Wanming suddenly rushed over, ran in front of Hu Xiaoxiao, and stared at Hu Xiaoxiao fiercely.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at his expression and thought that he was going to fight her to the death and die with her. When she was about to make the first move, Chang Wanming suddenly made a loud noise -

Kneeling on the ground in front of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Even Hu Xiaoxiao, who had seen a lot of the world, was stunned.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go to Charlie. What I just said was all nonsense. I admit my mistake! I was possessed by a ghost. I have evil intentions. I am a toad who wants to eat swan meat! If you are not satisfied, beat me, beat me to death!"

Hu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Then go cry to the reporters and tell them I hit you. Then you'll become famous, right?"

If he was really banned, how could he be popular? "No, no, no! I will tell others that I fell, it has nothing to do with you, Xiaoxiao..."

Hu Xiaoxiao corrected his address: "Please call me Miss Hu."

She felt uncomfortable when he called her Xiaoxiao.

Chang Wanming immediately changed his words, "Ms. Hu, it's all my fault. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can do anything for you. If you don't believe me, I will show you my determination now."

After saying this, Chang Wanming raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. The slap was so hard that his face quickly turned red. While he was slapping himself, he was also crying and repenting.

Hu Xiaoxiao once again got to know Chang Wanming. This man was thick-skinned, black-hearted, shameless, and a scoundrel. Moreover, when he was in an unfavorable situation, he would bend and kneel, cry at the drop of a hat, and would do anything to achieve his goal.

This guy is a tough guy.

"If you want me to forgive you for plotting against me, it's not impossible, but you have to atone for your sins," said Hu Xiaoxiao.

Chang Wanming saw a turn for the better, and immediately wiped away his tears and snot, breaking into a smile and saying, "Just tell me, I'll definitely do whatever I can for you."

Hu Xiaoxiao was a bit irritated and asked, "You agreed without asking anything. Aren't you afraid that I will ask you to kill people and set fire to things?"

Chang Wanming shamelessly said, "Miss Hu is so beautiful and kind, how could you possibly ask me to kill someone or set a fire? Even if you asked me to kill someone or set a fire, it must be that person who deserves to die."

"Stop being so smooth-talking. Didn't you see the person who took the photos that day? I want you to find that person and find out who is secretly monitoring me and what their purpose is."

Chang Wanming said awkwardly: "You can let me fight, even if it means crippling a few people's legs, I dare to do it for you. But investigating a case, I don't know how to do it, and I don't understand..."

"You will, you know." Such a ruthless character, as long as he wants to do it, there is nothing he can't do. Hu Xiaoxiao gave him a deadline, "Tomorrow is my reply to Charlie. If you don't find the information of the person who took the secret photo, then you are on your own."

Chang Wanming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go to the program department to find someone now."

He remembered the man's approximate height, build, and hairstyle, and thought that if he looked carefully, he might be able to find him.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Hu Xiaoxiao bent down slightly, looking at Chang Wanming, who was kneeling on the ground with his eyes rolling around. "Whatever I ask you to do, you'd better do it honestly. You are a ruthless person, but I am not a good person either. However, I really want to be a good person, do you understand?"

Chang Wanming looked up and saw Hu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes, which were completely devoid of warmth and were so cold and ruthless that they didn't look like human eyes.

He shuddered secretly and involuntarily reached out to rub his still aching stomach.

Thinking about how Hu Xiaoxiao, wearing high heels, ran faster than him who was wearing sneakers, and even dared to jump down and kick him.

This woman is not an ordinary woman at all. If he makes her angry, she might be even more cruel than him.

"I will do it, and do it well." Chang Wanming promised again and again. He wanted to avoid being banned, but also didn't want to make an enemy of this person who was so difficult to judge and whom he feared.

Hu Xiaoxiao straightened up and walked past Chang Wanming. The rhythmic sound of her high heels seemed to be stepping on Chang Wanming's heart, making his heart beat with depression and anxiety.

Chang Wanming regretted that he had provoked Hu Xiaoxiao without conducting a thorough investigation.

Only after Hu Xiaoxiao walked away did he dare to get up, rub his knees and stomach, and go to the program department floor.

The next day at noon, Chang Wanming was waiting in the parking lot. When he saw the familiar red car, he hurried over with a smile on his face and full of enthusiasm.

"Miss Hu, you're here." Chang Wanming opened the car door for Hu Xiaoxiao attentively. "Miss Hu, are you thirsty? Do you want me to buy you a drink? Miss Hu, are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you some snacks and desserts?"

Hu Xiaoxiao got out of the car with his bag and documents, locked the car, and asked him, "How's the investigation going?"

Chang Wanming saw Hu Xiaoxiao holding some information and knew she was going to see Charlie. He immediately reported the situation and said, "I waited at the door for an hour yesterday. I finally found him when the program department was getting off work. I asked someone for his name. His name is Guo Yuanqing, and he's a photographer. Because of his job, he can walk around with a camera without arousing suspicion."

Seeing that there was no one in the parking lot, Hu Xiaoxiao did not rush up, but asked a lot of questions about Guo Yuanqing.

Chang Wanming was indeed very resourceful. In less than a day, he had obtained Guo Yuanqing's age and address. However, because the time was so short, he didn't know whether Guo Yuanqing had only photographed Hu Xiaoxiao or others as well.

"I'm going to the 'Auntie Dan's Soup' program to record first. I'll go to the dressing room later. You—" Hu Xiaoxiao instructed Chang Wanming, "Follow me like before. Do you understand?"

"I understand. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I will be the oriole and catch insects for Miss Hu." Chang Wanming said very tactfully.

Hu Xiaoxiao took the things and went up first. Chang Wanming waited for a long time behind. Seeing that no one was following Hu Xiaoxiao, he followed him from behind.

When I passed a trash can on the way, I saw a lot of bouquets and gifts thrown next to it, all of them were intact.

There are many artists on TV stations, and they have fans from all walks of life. They receive flowers and gifts for their idols every day, and the cleaners in the building don’t know how many flowers they throw away every day.

Chang Wanming picked a bunch of flowers that looked complete, held it in his hand, and followed Hu Xiaoxiao upstairs from a distance.

The TV station was a bustling place, and Chang Wanming had previously been constantly trying to track down Hu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, deliberately creating chance encounters. Although he was careful, he was still noticed. The TV station was full of shrewd people, and coupled with the gossip surrounding it, many people at the station knew about Chang Wanming's attempts to reach out to Hu Xiaoxiao.

Those who noticed Chang Wanming's sneaky behavior didn't find it strange. Moreover, he was holding flowers in his hand, and it was obvious that they knew what he was up to, and they even looked at him with a look of anticipation.
