Chapter 22: Tailing
"Weiwei, I don't know how I offended the director. I went in to practice my lines, and I hadn't said five lines when the director's face suddenly changed and he told me to get out."
Xu Su said, tears streaming down her face again: "She even questioned how someone like me could dare to come for an interview."
“How could this happen?”
Mi Wei'er hurriedly handed Xu Su a tissue. She knew that some directors had strange tempers, and it would be bad luck to meet such a director.
And being scolded is not the most important thing. If you offend the director, it will be difficult for you to survive in the circle in the future.
"I don't know if it was because I was borrowing something in the hallway and the casting assistant saw me and told the director that I wasn't well prepared and didn't have a serious attitude."
Xu Su cried very sadly, her tears like beads that had broken off the string.
Mi Wei'er quickly comforted her: "It's okay, don't you still know a lot of information about the crew's actor recruitment? It's common to run into obstacles when trying hard. Let's not think too much about things that are over."
Xu Su felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. She sniffed, wiped her tears, looked up at Mi Wei'er and said, "Weiwei, you're right. Let's not dwell on the past. Maybe something happened at the director's home, and he's in a bad mood and is taking it out on me."
Xu Su raised a strong and optimistic smile on her face: "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first!"
Xu Su's strong look made people feel distressed. Mi Weier nodded: "Okay, let's eat first. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing."
"I know there's a back door to this garden that leads directly to the road. It's very convenient to call a taxi there. Let's go!"
Xu Su stood up, took Mi Wei'er's wrist intimately, and walked towards the back door of the garden.
After a while, a white figure came out from the corner of the garden corridor and hurriedly followed.
The white figure was Xia Lili.
She was wearing a mask and a very common white T-shirt, the kind that would be easy to miss in a crowd.
After arriving at the Huacai Hotel, she went straight to the 11th floor and secretly observed Mi Weiler and Xu Su.
She discovered that after Mi Wei'er finished her audition and left the eleventh floor and went downstairs, Xu Su, who was waiting for the audition, didn't even go for the audition!
After Mi Weiler left, Xu Su went to the fire escape on the 11th floor and kept sending messages on her mobile phone.
After a long time, Xu Su sprayed something into her eyes and put in eye drops. Then she covered her face and left through the fire escape, going downstairs to the garden.
Xia Lili began to guess that Xu Su had probably been sending the identified target Mi Weiler to her accomplices during this period, arranging vehicles, and starting to plan the follow-up.

The back door of the garden seemed like an employee passage that had not been used for a long time. There was a narrow road outside the back door.
When Xia Lili arrived at the door, she found that the two people had disappeared, and a black car disappeared in the distance of the narrow road.
At this time, Xia Lili's 5.3mm ultra-clear vision played a huge role. She could clearly see the model and license plate number of the car!
South A.
Xia Lili saw the car with her eagle-like eyes. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the driver's window and flicked a cigarette. The hand looked like that of a middle-aged man, with a gold ring on the ring finger.
Xia Lili frowned.
If it was an online car-hailing service, it would have come too quickly. There seemed to be very few pedestrians in this alley. How could the online car-hailing service driver arrive so quickly?
She had just been secretly observing Mi Weiler and Xu Su for so long. Xu Su had been crying the whole time, and she had never seen her take out her cell phone to hail a taxi.
After Xia Lili wrote down the license plate number, she suddenly remembered the last time in the hospital when the bodyguard said he had checked the source of the vehicle with an acquaintance in the traffic police team.
She doesn't seem to have this connection...
Xia Lili flipped through her WeChat list with her fingers, and her eyes suddenly fell on "Police Officer Leng Xiaohe" on the list.
Xia Lili thought for a moment and sent a message to Leng Xiaohe: "Officer Leng, I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly."
"My friend and this girl met while both waiting for an audition at the Huacai Hotel. They agreed to go to a light meal restaurant together after the audition."
"But I found out that after my friend finished his work and went downstairs to wait for the girl, the girl did not attend the audition."
Xia Lili told Leng Xiaohe the series of events that happened after Xu Su did not participate in the audition.
"My friend got in a car with a license plate of South A, along with a girl in pink."
"I feel like this is not right. It's like this girl in pink orchestrated everything."
Leng Xiaohe didn't reply immediately, probably because she was busy.
Xia Lili quit WeChat and started searching for light meal restaurants on the mobile group buying app.
The other party probably won't book a light meal restaurant that's too far away. If the distance is more than seven or eight kilometers, it's easy for people to become wary or feel that the journey is too long and refuse the invitation.
After thinking about it, Xia Lili searched for light meal restaurants within 7 kilometers from here.
A popular online restaurant called "Bluebird Light Meals" caught Xia Lili's attention.
She looked at the review section of this restaurant and found that the restaurant's interior decoration, tables and chairs, and the waiters' attire were exactly the same as what she saw in the hallucination!
Xia Lili ran quickly in the direction where the black car disappeared. At this time, a taxi with an empty license plate passed by her.

Bluebird Light Meal Restaurant.
The pastoral French-style decoration, the lively music, and the smiling diners all make people feel very good.
As soon as Mi Wei'er and Xu Su entered the restaurant, they felt they had come to the right place.
The two were led by the waiter to find a seat inside.
The waiter handed them menus and they began to order.
Mi Weier couldn't help but praise: "The atmosphere of this restaurant is really good, and the food looks great too."
Xu Su smiled and discussed the dishes she wanted to order with Mi Wei'er. The waiter who was in charge of taking the order recommended: "The apple tipsy sparkling water here is a specialty drink. Would you like a glass?"
Xu Su nodded quickly: "Okay! Give me two cups!"
Xu Su turned to Mi Wei'er and said, "Weiwei, thank you for comforting me today. I'll treat you this meal."
"It's not expensive."
Mi Wei'er was polite, and the two started chatting after ordering the food.
The food was served quickly and the two began to eat.
At the same time, Xia Lili also arrived at the Bluebird Light Meal Restaurant.
She entered the restaurant and sat down in a secluded corner where she could still observe Mi Wei'er.
At this time, Xu Su received a call. She said to the other end of the phone: "Oh, okay, I understand."
After Xu Su hung up the phone, she said to Mi Wei'er embarrassedly, "Weiwei, I have an event tonight that requires a makeup interview. I didn't bring any makeup remover, so I ordered a flash delivery."
"The delivery guy is here now, can you help me get it?"
Xu Su pointed at her eye makeup that was so wet from crying and said, "Look at me, my eyes are so wet that they look like pandas. I really don't want to face strangers. I just want to take my makeup off quickly."
