Chapter 66: Slaying all demons and monsters!
"Old Yan, do you think the old man will listen to me? Sometimes I even feel that you are the grandson of the old man. Your words carry more weight in our family than my philandering father's."
"The old man has always favored He Yan since he was a child, which made the eldest son so angry that he didn't go to the old house for the New Year for most of the years."
Brother He Yan, He Qi complained incessantly on the phone about Old Master He's stubbornness and favoritism.
The eldest son mentioned by He Qi is the eldest grandson of Grandpa He, born to He Yan's father, He Chunfeng, and his first wife.
When it comes to the complicated relationships between the He family's children, Yan Qian also feels a headache. Fortunately, his parents withstood the pressure of the arranged marriage back then because of their love, otherwise their lives would definitely be chaotic.
"Can I just quit? Anyway, the He family has plenty of bodyguards."
He Qi quickly put on a smiling face and said kindly, "Old Yan, you're capable, so you should do more. When I return to China next month, I'll definitely treat you to a few good meals."
Yan Qian was speechless; he would rather go without food than take this job.
"Alright, you should get some rest."
Shortly after ending the call, Yan Qian received a call from He Chunfeng.
Yan Qian took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and walked to the balcony. "Hello, Uncle He?"
He Chunfeng called for no other reason than to ask for security for his elderly parent and young child.
The He family has no investment projects in the South Island and their connections are not as strong as those of the Yan family. He Chunfeng can manage the younger generation but not the older ones, so he can only ask Yan Qian to help take care of them again.
"He Yan has been spoiled by his mother and grandfather. He actually tricked the grandfather into going to the South Island. Xiao Qian, your uncle feels really embarrassed. You helped me a lot last time, but you haven't been able to come to our house to cook. I feel uneasy about it. Please give your uncle a chance to cook during the New Year."
Yan Qian patiently chatted with He Chunfeng for a while, claiming that he would do his best to protect the safety of the grandfather and grandson.
With Yan Qian around, He Chunfeng felt very at ease, and sometimes he couldn't help but sigh that other people's children were indeed outstanding.
The He family grandfather and grandson acted efficiently, deciding to go to the South Island in the afternoon and landing smoothly at the South Island airport at 9 pm.
Yan Qian personally came to the airport to pick them up.
For safety reasons, Old Master He traveled in one car, while Yan Qian and He Yan traveled in another car, each with two bodyguards. Two other cars followed behind them.
He Yan had a lot to say to Yan Qian, but Yan Qian was busy with work and found him annoying, telling him to bear with it for now.
He Yan was perceptive and obediently played the role of a quail, admiring the scenery of the South Island.
We returned to the Jinghua Hotel without any problems.
Seeing that Yan Qian had finally put down his laptop, He Yan hurriedly approached him with a fawning smile, "Brother Yan, can you come with me to the Grand Hyatt Hotel to see Sister Jiang?"
Yan Qian gave them a cold look. "Three cars with fake license plates followed us all the way from the airport. If you want to be kidnapped again, then go ahead."
He Yan: "..."
He Yan slumped to the side, on the verge of tears, "What a disaster! Who did our He family offend? Why are they targeting me alone?!"
Yan Qian had a suspect, but this was a matter for the He family, and he couldn't interfere.
He raised his hand and patted He Yan on the shoulder, "The Jinghua Hotel is very safe. Be patient and wait for two days. I will accompany you to the concert."
He Yan sighed, "That's all we can do. I can't hold you back."
A moment later, He Yan sat up in shock. "Brother Yan, what if those bad guys get in while I'm at the concert? Won't that implicate Sister Jiang?"
"Since you knew this situation would occur, why did you still insist on coming?" Yan Qian threw the question back at him.
He Yan looked completely innocent. "I didn't think of that before I came. I only just realized it."
Yan Qian felt exhausted. He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I've already arranged for people to be stationed in the stadium to check for potential problems in advance. I hope everything will be fine that day. Otherwise, your Sister Jiang will not only hold you accountable, but she'll also hold me accountable. We'll both be in deep trouble."
He Yan: "!"
Yan Qian arranged for the He family grandfather and grandson to stay in a hotel villa area, equipped with a top-notch security system, and they could also enjoy a private coastal view.
Jinghua Hotel is a four-star hotel, positioned at a high level. It does not accept individual guests and only cooperates with local officials, ensuring a high level of safety.
Grandpa He was very satisfied with the place he was staying, praised Yan Qian highly, and talked to him for a long time.
He Yan didn't want to be scolded by the old man, so he went to the side hall to call Jiang Mingyue.
No one answered the first time I called, but I got through on the second try.
Jiang Mingyue was coming out of the elevator when she received He Yan's call.
"He Yan, you haven't answered your phone since 10:30. Have you forgotten?"
He Yan dared not forget, but he was so happy that he wanted to call her to tell her.
"Sister Jiang! Guess where I am?!"
As Jiang Mingyue walked out of the Haiyang Building, she paused upon hearing this, her right eyelid twitching.
She immediately took out a tissue, pressed it against her right eyelid, and silently chanted "White Jump".
She rules over the universe and all things develop in accordance with her; if she says everything is alright, then everything is alright.
"You are in the South Island, at the Jinghua Hotel."
Yan Qian said that the middleman was dead and the mastermind had not yet been caught. At this critical moment, He Yan came to Nandao, which must be at the Jinghua Hotel.
Jiang Mingyue was speechless; the little fool had come to cause her trouble again.
"Sister Jiang, you are truly a prophet!"
“I begged my grandpa to let me come to your concert. I just arrived tonight. Brother Yan won’t let me go to the Grand Hyatt to see you. Is it convenient for you to come and see me? I brought you a gift.”
Jiang Mingyue promptly stopped He Yan's rambling, "It's too late, I won't go. I appreciate your kindness, see you at the concert."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, then found Yan Qian's number and sent him a message.
"Call me back when you're done."
Jiang Mingyue scanned the QR code to ride a shared bike back to the hotel as usual, and received a call from Yan Qian halfway there.
"Did He Yan contact you?"
"Hmm, why did he come here? Isn't the He family afraid that something might happen to him again?"
Yan Qian sensed the disdain in Jiang Mingyue's words and tried his best to comfort her, "He Yan has been pampered since he was a child. Grandpa He couldn't resist his pestering, so he brought him along. I will stay at the hotel to keep an eye on him for the next two days and won't let him bother you."
The light ahead was red, so Jiang Mingyue braked her bicycle to a stop and braced herself with both feet on the ground.
"President Yan, let's be frank, you know what I'm worried about."
One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.
Jiang Mingyue always had a reason for contacting him, and Yan Qian knew she was testing him.
“Ms. Jiang, all audience members at the South Island Stadium will enter with real-name authentication and ticket verification. There will also be police support. What you should be worried about is whether your concert team will be replaced.”
Jiang Mingyue blinked and knew that Yan Qian was prepared.
“I remember the faces and names of all the staff at Haiyang Building, and I also remember the construction workers at the stadium. He Yan is a ticking time bomb, and I suggest he not come to the concert.”
Jiang Mingyue has a responsibility to her fans. With 30,000 people present, if anything irreparable happens, she will be held accountable.
It would be best if He Yan didn't come. If he does come, then we'll proceed with Plan B!
Yan Qian sighed, "I can't stop him from going to the concert. He's your fan, and I can only do my best to protect him."
Grand Hyatt Hotel, Room 1015.
After Jiang Mingyue returned, she left a message in Wei Lai's group chat, telling them not to come to the concert.
In the group chat, Wei Lai was the first to chime in, "Why? It's a holiday, and Tang Ge is also filming in the South Island, so I'm going to visit him on set."
Jiang Mingyue: "You can visit Brother Tang on set, but don't come to the South Island Gymnasium."
Better safe than sorry; Jiang Mingyue needed to plan ahead.
Before Wei Lai could press for more information, Ji Wenxuan immediately chimed in, "We almost bought plane tickets. I'll listen to Mingyue."
Netizens say that Sister Jiang never talks nonsense, and unless it is an important event, Jiang Mingyue will not allow them to go to the scene.
Wei Lai: "Okay then, I'll go back to my hometown for New Year's Day."
Wei Lai left the group chat and went to find Don Juan to leave him a message.
"Brother Tang, Mingyue won't let us go to the concert. What trouble has she run into?!"
Don Juan had a long night shoot tonight, which didn't finish until 4 a.m. By the time he got back to the hotel, removed his makeup, and took a shower, it was already dawn when he saw the message from Wei Lai.
He had a bad feeling and immediately contacted Jiang Mingyue, who should have just gotten up at this time.
The call was answered quickly, and there was a sound of wind on the other end.
"Hey, Brother Tang, is there something you need calling me so early?"
"Mingyue, why didn't you let Wei Lai and the others go to the scene to support you? What happened to you?"
Jiang Mingyue guessed that Wei Lai would ask Tang Huang about it. She originally didn't want to say anything, but Tang Huang was nearby, and it wouldn't be good to keep it from him.
"The matter with He Yan isn't over yet. I was followed by two groups of people last week..."
Jiang Mingyue didn't mention Liao Zhijie and Zhang Wangjiang's affair at all, so as not to add to Don Juan's troubles.
Don Juan's face turned very ugly after hearing this. It was Yan Qian and He Yan again, but he was too limited in his abilities to help with such an important matter.
Don Juan couldn't say Jiang Mingyue was wrong; every cause has its effect. She and He Yan met by chance at the Ghost Market. He Yan had been kidnapped, and Yan Qian came to her door, where she participated in the rescue.
With everything happening at once, backing down and forbearing is clearly not her style. She didn't let them go over because she was afraid of something unexpected happening and she wouldn't be able to take care of them.
“Mingyue, I will persuade Wei Lai not to go and cause you trouble. Be careful and let us know you are safe at any time.”
Jiang Mingyue nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Tang, I'll take good care of myself."
In the SUV not far away, Eric put away his binoculars and reported the situation to Mammoth on the other end of the phone.
"Boss, Jiang Mingyue is running alone. What's the situation on your end?"
The mammoth was hidden on the rooftop of the hotel closest to the Jinghua Hotel, just two kilometers away.
"The He family has been hiding in the hotel villa, which is beyond the range of the sniper rifle I brought today. The Yan family was very clever in choosing the location to build the hotel back then."
The maximum range of the weapon in Mammoth's hand was two thousand meters, which was two kilometers away from ground buildings.
“I can’t take action unless they come out.”
Eric: "He Yan is probably here to see Jiang Mingyue's concert. Huang Mao and his gang have already infiltrated the South Island Stadium and are ready to serve us at any time."
Mammoth: "Hmm, looks like we'll have to wait until the concert."
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon came the Clover Girls' farewell concert.
The concert is scheduled for 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM, so it won't interfere with the audience's journey home to celebrate the New Year.
The two-and-a-half-hour performance was a real test of Jiang Mingyue and her two companions' stamina. They also invited other guests to perform in between to allow them to change their outfits.
The performing guests are all newcomers from Star Shine Entertainment and Shanda Lightyear, who have only emerged in the last two years.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mingyue and the other two arrived at the stadium by car. They first practiced six choral songs on stage in their own clothes, and then changed into costumes for a dress rehearsal and practiced their stage positions.
Jiang Mingyue received many congratulatory messages this morning, all wishing her a successful concert.
The nine guests of the variety show, the production team of the variety show, and the newly acquainted director Lin Zi'an.
Don Juan sent her a red envelope containing sixty-six yuan, wishing her good fortune.
Yan Qian and Tang Huang had the same idea and Yan Qian also sent her a red envelope containing sixty-six yuan.
Jiang Mingyue accepted the blessings graciously, having already made the order.
These past two days, Liu Mo'er has been giving her strange looks, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang Mingyue knew what Liu Mo'er wanted to ask, but she was too lazy to pay attention to her.
The morning rehearsal time flew by, and there was a one-hour break at noon.
Jiang Mingyue was full of energy. After leaving the dressing room, she concealed herself and wandered around the entire stadium.
She walked to a secluded corner and called Jiang Yi.
"Where are you?"
“Master, I’m in the administration building of the stadium across from you.”
“Those people will definitely come in tonight. I can’t take care of He Yan, so you’ll have to keep an eye on him for me.”
"I don't need to keep an eye on the blond guy anymore?"
"Those small fry you mentioned are not worth mentioning; others will be watching them."
"receive."
When Jiang Yi opened the photos sent by Jiang Mingyue, she saw that He Yan was a hothead, dressed in designer brands from head to toe, a walking banknote. No wonder he was targeted by Huang Mao and his gang.
Around 9 a.m., spectators began arriving at the South Island Airport. A group of them first went to their hotel to check in, and then headed straight to the stadium in the afternoon.
Around 2 p.m., more and more people gathered at the back entrance of the stadium. Ticket checking started at 6 p.m. and ended at 7 p.m.
It's hot today, with an outdoor temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and no wind.
However, the fans were not afraid of the heat. They held up parasols, drank beverages, and chatted non-stop.
"I can't wait for Sister Jiang to sing and dance!"
"Sister, so you're a ginger fan too! I'm looking forward to it too!"
Many ginger fans took this opportunity to connect, including many ginger and candy CP fans.
"I wonder if the Best Actor is coming today?"
"He can't come. The Best Actor posted on Weibo this morning to wish Sister Jiang a successful concert, but he can't come because he's filming a movie."
"Other guests on the show also posted their blessings on Weibo. I'm so envious of their friendship."
"I'm so sad to see Sister Jiang retire from the entertainment industry."
Tan Li and Liu Mo'er also have quite a few fans, which contrasts sharply with Jiang Mingyue's fans. The three fan groups each wore their own support outfits.
Tan Li's family wore red T-shirts, Liu Mo'er's family wore pink T-shirts, and the ginger fans naturally wore ginger candy-colored T-shirts.
The three powers stood in a tripartite balance, each operating independently.
Tan Li and Liu Mo'er's fans are mostly girls, with a small number coming as couples.
The fans were evenly split between men and women, ranging in age from very old to very young. Some were mothers with their sons, while others were working women revising their plans on their laptops while waiting in line. There were also glamorous career professionals.
Grand Lightyear arranged staff and volunteers at the entrance to distribute electrolyte water, cooling patches, and handheld fans to fans for free.
Star Shine Entertainment has prepared disposable folding chairs so that fans can sit and rest wherever they like.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the crowd outside.
The plaza in front of the stadium was packed with fans holding her cards and light sticks. It was the first time she had ever felt the enthusiasm of her fans in person and the deep affection they had for her.
They came for her.
No wonder everyone loves being a celebrity; the feeling of being adored by fans is indeed tempting.
Jiang Mingyue withdrew her gaze and continued searching for the person.
Her fans and she complement each other; a group of people traveled from afar to see her, and she had to ensure their safety!
Slay all demons and monsters!
Yan Qian's people should be among them. Although this provides double protection, she doesn't trust others. She wants to take advantage of the one-hour lunch break to personally find out those who have already slipped in.
All the staff members of the concert team came to the scene today. Jiang Mingyue has memorized their faces and can recognize them as soon as she sees their name tags.
The stadium is huge, with many nooks and crannies. If you hide anywhere, you could easily find yourself in some unspeakable danger.
Jiang Mingyue started by checking the basement.
She was quick, and in the blink of an eye, she had explored the entire basement.
Some rooms were locked, while others were unlocked, and they were filled with various sports equipment.
Jiang Mingyue used her internal energy to check the area and found no dangerous equipment.
Then we went up the stairs to the first floor.
The first floor has eight entrances and an exhibition hall, as well as indoor badminton, swimming pool and basketball courts.
When Jiang Mingyue passed by the basketball court, she saw someone sweeping the floor inside. She paused, because at this time everyone was outside helping out and no one was using the basketball court.
She regained her balance and stepped forward to stop the other person, asking, "What are you doing?"
The person in the cleaning uniform turned around instinctively and saw a strange woman dressed as a concert worker.
The cleaner calmly replied, "I'm cleaning. I'm on duty today. There's a puddle of water here. I don't know which guest spilled their tea."
Jiang Mingyue sized up the other person's face, noting his slanted eyes and the blond hair hidden under his hat brim, and couldn't help but sneer.
Such a disguise is so unprofessional; where did they find such low-class scum?
Jiang Mingyue raised her hand, and a gust of wind rose up, lifting the man up and sucking him onto the roof.
The man's hat fell off, revealing a tuft of blond hair.
The basketball court was ten meters high. Huang Mao, who has a fear of heights, was so scared that he trembled and didn't dare to open his eyes.
"Who the hell are you?! Put me down right now!"
And what the hell is that thing circling around him?! A tornado?!
Where did this woman come from?! Who is she anyway?!
Jiang Mingyue waved her right hand back and forth, tossing the blond-haired man up and down like he was on a drop tower at an amusement park, until he was almost dead.
"Hand over your accomplices if you don't want to die!"
