Chapter 271 Sister Tu Yao wants to borrow a paparazzi
Wen Yu handed over the phone.
Tu Chaoxi lowered her eyes and glanced down, unable to help but chuckle.
No one even needed to ask; Cheng Sangsang and Ma Zhiyuan, both of whom couldn't hold back their words, blurted everything out.
In addition, there was Xu Bai, who was his straight man, and Jiang Ye would occasionally chime in with a few words.
He immediately understood what had happened.
So, the reason Zhao Xing left the group was because this girl set up a trap for that father and son?
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow, thinking, "This guy's got a pretty sharp mind."
That saved him a lot of trouble.
Xu Bai (King of Button Mushrooms): [This time, I have to praise Teacher Ma. He took on a job on the forum, and by sheer luck, he ended up working with Zhao Xing's father's business rival.]
Ma Zhiyuan: [Tch, do I need your praise? (Head held high, chest puffed out.jpg)]
Xu Bai (King of Button Mushrooms): [Withdrawing a compliment. (Indifferent.jpg)]
Ma Zhiyuan: [...]
Cheng Sangsang (seeking revenge): [Hmm...actually, I don't think they're business rivals.]
Based on my deduction, that younger sister likely has a personal grudge against Zhao Yuanfeng, and... she's probably fighting alone.
The article had to be written by someone on a forum, and she was asked for help with surveillance and encouragement. Now, they've arranged to contact her every five minutes, which proves that she has no helpers.
At this point, Cheng Sangsang quickly checked the time.
Five minutes have passed!
She quickly switched to the chat window.
[Sister, type 1 if it's safe.]
【1】
In the chat group, Jiang Ye asked: "You mean she went to the restaurant alone? And no one helped her?"
Cheng Sangsang (seeking revenge): [Yes, she never told me she had any grudge against Zhao Yuanfeng; she was very wary.]
Upon seeing this, Tu Chaoxi frowned, a sudden tightness and discomfort settling in her chest.
It was probably because this complete stranger helped Wenyu by accident.
Or perhaps it was Cheng Sangsang's words about "fighting alone" that made him soften a little.
Or perhaps... this cleverness seems somewhat familiar.
Tu Chaoxi pondered for a moment: "Give me her account number, and I'll have someone go and meet her."
Cheng Sangsang (seeking revenge): [Hmm? Teacher Tu! You're going to help her?]
【Great! Since you're there too, I'll give you her business card!】
Soon, Cheng Sangsang sent a name card to the group. Tu Chaoxi glanced at the funny cartoon avatar and found it inexplicably funny.
Just as I was about to add him using my personal number, Wen Yu on the other end stared at the business card and suddenly her eyelids twitched.
"etc!"
Tu Chaoxi looked up: "What's wrong?"
"...This profile picture."
Hearing this, she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the girl who helped me a couple of days ago?!"
...
In the private room of the restaurant, Tu Yao pressed herself against the wall, but could only vaguely hear the sounds of waiters coming and going.
She then opened her phone and recorded another video.
All I could hear was a cacophony of noise, with no clear sound whatsoever.
no……
Tu Yao pondered for a moment, then looked out the window.
After a while, she slowly opened the window and looked around. In the pitch-black night, everything was shrouded in mist.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on a certain spot.
Because it is built near the water, each private room has a square support platform standing on the water.
...
In the lounge, Wen Yu found the account she had just added a couple of days ago, compared it, and nodded in confirmation.
"Yes, it's the same person."
Tu Chaoxi was somewhat surprised: "So she's the one who dealt with Zhao Xing and even pretended to be a paparazzi to scare him?"
"What a coincidence?"
Wen Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, what a coincidence!"
"Sangsang is probably right, this girl doesn't get along with Zhao Yuanfeng."
His frequent appearances at film and television bases were probably to find a breakthrough point by targeting Zhao Xing.
Upon realizing something, Wen Yu chuckled and said, "So I'm just a side effect of her settling a personal score?"
Tu Chaoxi also laughed.
"Let it be an add-on. Thanks to her, it seems that three tickets aren't enough."
Wen Yu said, "Teacher Tu, we really need to trouble you to find someone to pick her up. A girl went to the restaurant all by herself, and we don't know what she's going to do."
It's not exactly a safe thing.
Upon hearing this, Tu Chaoxi's smile suddenly faltered.
"……What?"
What kind of ticket?
"Oh, it's the music festival tickets. To thank her, I had Xiaoyu give her three tickets."
"I don't know if she brought any friends to see it."
Special passage tickets, the best seats, next to the staff, and no ticket check required.
Tu Chaoxi's expression immediately turned serious: "You mean, there are complimentary tickets that don't require ticket checks?"
Wen Yu nodded slowly: "...Yes."
"Jiang Ye said that the few hidden special seats in the front row, as well as the two ends near the middle, were basically complimentary tickets. Some were given to the organizers, and some were given to several partner studios. There were more than twenty of them in total."
"None of these tickets were checked."
Tu Chaoxi stood there, stunned.
...So, what if Tu Xiaomao also received a complimentary ticket?
Of course she's not on that long list!
Tu Chaoxi: "...So why weren't these complimentary tickets checked?"
Wen Yu said helplessly, "Teacher Tu, there were too many people when you suddenly appeared that day. The organizers had to omit some procedures and skip those who received free tickets."
Tu Chaoxi closed his eyes and immediately slammed his head hard. So, in the final analysis, it was because of his sudden arrival that they couldn't find Tu Xiaomao!
He quickly dialed: "Nan Ke, Lao San, don't check the surveillance footage from the audience seats."
Meanwhile, Nan Ke and Lin Yue had retrieved all the surveillance footage near the music festival venue.
The two are already reviewing this enormous workload frame by frame.
Nan Ke answered the phone: "Brother, is there any news?"
Tu Chaoxi swallowed hard, trying to remain calm as she said:
"...Check the staff's positions, the rows closest to the stage, to see if any are captured on CCTV."
"There aren't many cameras in that area, so it'll probably be hard to find. If we can't find it, we can look for any publicly available videos from netizens."
As Tu Chaoxi spoke, a strange intuition and guess suddenly surged into his mind, only to vanish in an instant.
He didn't have time to catch it and walked out with his phone in hand.
"I'm coming right now!"
...
In the film set, Xiaoyu overslept and was half an hour late, so she rushed over.
She took out her phone and reported the incident while running.
The next second, several messages popped up.
She quickly clicked on it, then paused slightly in surprise.
Is it... Sister Tu Yao?
...This message was sent twenty minutes ago.
Oh no, will this cause any problems?
Xiaoyu dared not delay any longer.
"Sister Wenyu, Sister Wenyu!!!"
She ran towards the lounge while shouting, and bumped right into the person who came out of the door!
"Why!!!"
The next second, he was firmly supported by a hand.
Xiaoyu quickly looked up and saw a tall, very familiar blond young man standing opposite her, holding a phone and about to walk out.
Xiaoyu was startled. This person... Tu... Tu...
She quickly bowed and said, "Teacher Tu!"
Tu Chaoxi looked hurried and casually agreed before heading out.
Xiaoyu quickly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly held up her phone, saying:
"Sister Wenyu, Sister Tuyao asked if we could lend her a paparazzi!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Chaoxi stopped abruptly outside the lounge.
Inside the lounge, Wen Yu, who had come out upon hearing the noise, suddenly froze on the spot.
In just a moment, Xiaoyu keenly sensed a hint of tension in the air.
She instinctively wanted to ask a question, but the next second, a sharp, hurried footstep suddenly rang in her ears.
Immediately afterwards, her arm was gripped firmly by an even stronger force than before!
Xiaoyu turned her head blankly, only to see Tu Chaoxi returning!
The tall young man's eyes were initially slightly stunned, as if he had confirmed in his mind countless times what he had just heard, and then a clear disbelief gradually surfaced.
His voice was low, with obvious hesitation in his tone: "...What did you say?"
"Who did you say...?"
...Is he hallucinating?
Wen Yu, who was standing nearby, also realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Xiao Yu, who did you just say wanted to borrow a paparazzi?"
His voice trembled uncontrollably as well.
The two men attacked the girl from both the front and the back.
Startled by the sudden tension, Xiaoyu blankly raised her phone and instinctively answered:
"Tu... Sister Tu Yao."
"It's...it's the one who gave you the idea to fight back against Zhao Xing that day, and who helped us pretend to be paparazzi...Sister Tu Yao!"
"She asked to borrow my camera, and there were paparazzi too..."
Tu Chaoxi looked over as she moved and saw that the familiar cartoon avatar was still on the chat window screen.
And the name in the notes clearly popped up—
Tu Yao.
Tu Chaoxi suddenly lost her strength, and her phone crashed heavily to the ground!
