Chapter 268 World Tour 9.0
Bai Lang put his eyes close to the cat's eye, but his vision was filled with thick darkness, as if someone had deliberately blocked it with their hand.
He frowned and turned around, shaking his head at his teammates, indicating that the situation outside the door was unclear.
Under everyone's tense gaze, he picked up a heavy copper ornament at the entrance and yanked the door open.
Let him come and see whether this thing is a human or a ghost!
There was a dull thud as something heavy fell to the floor.
"What is it?" Wei Liangchen's voice was filled with suppressed anxiety.
The brave Leo rushed forward with the backpack containing the game board as soon as Bai Lang opened the door.
If anyone dares to harm his brother, his game board will not be tolerated. With one hit from the head, he will surely make that person lose all sense of directions!
The moment the door opened, Xie Qingyu had a premonition that the visitor might have escaped.
As he approached with the other members, he saw Bai Lang and Leo staring at a black shadow on the ground. The corridor was empty.
It was an object tightly wrapped in black cloth, with a strange and rugged outline, and it was obviously very heavy.
The sound of it falling to the ground could be heard clearly from a distance.
"Take it apart and see!"
“Just throw it away!”
Xie Qingyu and Gu Qi spoke almost at the same time.
However, the two people had different attitudes. Xie Qingyu advocated opening it, believing that this was the key clue to explore the other party's intentions.
Gu Qi frowned in disgust, concluding that this must be an unlucky thing, and looking at it any longer would dirty his eyes.
Bai Lang grabbed the edge of the black cloth and lifted the package quickly and decisively. He said in a steady voice, "Go inside first."
Since the person has already run away, there is no point in wasting time in the corridor.
Everyone sat around the sofa in the living room, their eyes fixed on the black cloth in the middle of the coffee table, as if they wanted to burn through it with their gaze.
"So - how to deal with it?" You Jinzhao broke the silence hesitantly.
"This thing doesn't look like a good thing at first glance!" Wei Liangchen hugged the pillow tightly, his tone firm.
After all, he has been a popular idol for such a long time, and he has a lot of experience and common sense in being pursued for private things. This kind of thing with unknown origin is definitely bad luck.
Xie Qingyu sighed softly, then stood up and half-knelt in front of the coffee table: "Waste time is not a solution."
After saying that, he stood up and squatted, preparing to untie the black cloth. "It can't be a living creature, and there will be no physical damage."
His certainty stemmed from a vague guess.
"Don't move!"
Two hands clamped his wrists at the same time, and Bai Lang and Gu Zheng stopped him from the left and right.
"Since they're coming for you," Gu Zheng said, his voice still brimming with anger, "it would be better for us to tear it down."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Qingyu had been pushed back onto the sofa by several other teammates. Leo even locked his shoulders with his entire upper body, making him unable to move at all.
Bai Lang quickly untied the knot, and the black cloth scattered like rotten petals.
"Fuck! Benefactor, you call this non-aggressive?"
Wei Liangchen screamed, and the pillow hit his face directly, "This is simply mental pollution!"
The pupils of the others also contracted for a moment, and everyone's sanity value dropped a little bit.
Gu Yan reacted quickly, grabbed the scattered black cloth, and covered the object with it.
In fact, they are not as disgusting as dead rats and cockroaches, but the eerie feeling makes people feel cold.
It was a jade statue of Guanyin with Xie Qingyu's face carved on it.
The texture of the jade was quite good, but the workmanship was strangely rough. The most horrifying thing was the two bloody tears winding down from the corners of the eyes, which glowed dark red under the light, like some kind of vicious curse.
However, this did confirm two things:
First, Xie Qingyu’s intuition was absolutely correct; there was indeed someone with ill intentions.
Second, the other party was clearly coming for Xie Qingyu.
"The most important thing right now is the tour. This guy doesn't have the guts to hurt anyone, he's just trying to mess with their mentality!"
Xie Qingyu's tone was very calm. The evil Guanyin statue with his face carved on it seemed to have no effect on him at all.
Gu Qi nodded in agreement.
It’s not like they haven’t seen crazier behavior from illegitimate children and haters before, but they chose to do it when the first concert was a huge success. The intention behind this is worth pondering.
As for why they targeted Xie Qingyu - this is a mystery to be solved.
"We must not relax our daily precautions, and the progress of the tour must be foolproof." Gu Qi made the final decision, and everyone nodded.
"Actually, there is a more direct way, which is to prepare for a rainy day." Xie Qingyu shook his cell phone.
The members understood instantly that it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.
They put all their energy into touring, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
The educational philosophy of flower growers is very simple. If you find a penny on the curb, you have to hand it over to the police, let alone this kind of evidence that carries a threatening nature?
There are surveillance cameras in the corridor, and all of them are witnesses, so the chain of evidence is very complete.
Trying to bear something you can't handle is something a fool would do.
In a society ruled by law, professional matters should be left to professionals.
"But I have to talk to Old Xu about this first."
Gu Qiong had no objection to Xie Qingyu's proposal, but only added some key processes.
As a public figure, it is obviously inappropriate to call the police rashly. If a police car drove to the downstairs of the hotel and was photographed by paparazzi and posted online, the marketing account would be able to make up explosive news that "all members of MYST7 were arrested by Orange" in minutes.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, this kind of negative hot search will not be suppressed for at least three to five days.
What's more important is that two lines must be run in parallel. Xuzhou represents the platform, and Hu Xuan represents Xie Qingyu personally. This matter must be negotiated between both sides.
As for why he didn't ask for Shi Li, the accompanying executive agent? It was simply due to his limited authority.
For such an important decision, we can only report it to him through layers of higher authorities, which is simply embarrassing.
After the plan was finalized, everyone immediately took action separately.
Xie Qingyu contacted Hu Xuan, while Gu Qi was responsible for connecting with Xuzhou.
The replies from both sides came almost simultaneously——
Unanimous agreement as expected.
This matter is of a serious nature and must be reported to the police for handling. Otherwise, no one can afford the consequences if any problems arise.
However, considering the impact of public opinion, both sides will send special personnel to the police station for liaison.
Xuzhou also made an additional promise that the team will send more staff as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the members.
"My agent will come over personally to oversee the matter."
Xie Qingyu put away his phone, his tone a little more relaxed, "Don't be so tense, pack up and get ready for dinner. Not only do we have to check in this afternoon, but we also have to go over the set list for the second show."
Now he still has a certain degree of confidence in Hu Xuan's ability to do things.
Since the other party attaches importance to and takes over this matter, they will definitely handle it beautifully.
Besides, if they really meet head-on, these seven strong young men will surely be defeated, right?
So, there is really no need to trap yourself.
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door again.
Everyone's breathing held until they heard Shi Li shouting outside the door, "Food is delivered, just come in", and then their tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Pfft - I said I wasn't afraid~" You Jinzhao suddenly seemed to have his funny bone poked, and he fell on the sofa and rolled around laughing.
Xie Qingyu and other members looked at each other in confusion and couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing. What the hell was going on?
When Shi Lishua opened the door, this was the happy scene he saw.
He shook the spare room card in his hand and flicked the opaque tape on his fingertips: "Did you make this one-way film on the peephole?"
Without waiting for an answer, he muttered to himself: "Oh, the dining car is in the back..."
The assistant who came in with the food cart was well-trained. She lowered her head and deftly placed the food boxes on the coffee table.
He didn't even raise his eyelids when he caught a glimpse of the black cloth. In this circle, not looking at what you shouldn't look at is the basic rule of survival.
To sum up, talk less, watch less, listen less, think more, do more, and pay more attention.
"ah--!"
The sudden scream frightened Shi Li. It turned out that the black cloth that Gu Qie hadn't pressed firmly had slipped off, and the Blood-Tears Guanyin statue was right in the assistant's sight.
The little girl staggered backward and was about to fall. Xie Qingyu stood up and stepped forward to help her.
"I'm sorry, teachers..." The assistant covered his heart with his hands, his voice trembling.
Shi Li came over to take a look and was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot: "What the hell!"
He gasped and gave Gu Qiong and the others a thumbs-up: "Brothers, your taste is quite wild, right? If you put this thing in your room, won't you have nightmares in the middle of the night?"
The familiar face on the Guanyin statue, coupled with the strange tears of blood, creates the uncanny valley effect to the fullest, making people feel creepy and uncomfortable as if ants are crawling all over their bodies.
"This isn't our thing."
Gu Qi slowly crossed his legs, but his eyes were fixed on the changes in Shi Li and the assistant's expressions.
Shi Li was so angry that he laughed: "If it's not yours, then it's mine?"
"Hey, that's right!"
Ding Zai flirted exaggeratedly, "This is a surprise gift specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"
"Go, go, go! Hurry up and finish eating and get back to work!"
Shi Li waved his hand, signaling them to stop making trouble, and then quickly left with the frightened assistant.
He had long been accustomed to these guys' nonsense, but as long as it did not affect his work, he was too lazy to take it seriously.
As soon as the door closed, Wei Liangchen couldn't wait to lower his voice and ask, "How is it? Is there something wrong with Lao Shi?"
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, someone found them right at the door. It seemed like there was an insider behind the scenes.
Without waiting for his teammates to answer, he started talking to himself again: "No wonder, no wonder, I was wondering why Lao Shi avoided looking at me when I talked to him recently. It turns out he was waiting here!"
"He doesn't know." Xie Qingyu picked up a piece of shrimp and said firmly, "Eat first, don't delay business."
It is not their job to solve cases. All conclusions must be based on facts. They cannot convict people based on their imagination alone.
Wei Liangchen held his chopsticks in his mouth, unwilling to give up: "Then how do you explain his strange behavior recently?"
Gu Qie stuffed a lotus leaf cake directly into his mouth: "Even eating can't stop you from talking? I still haven't settled the score with you for insisting that I was an undercover agent during the recording of the show!"
This is about the time when they were playing games on the show and Wei Liangchen chased him to identify the undercover agent. Although he won in the end, he still felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
Wei Liangchen turned around guiltily, mumbling incoherently, "So stingy...it happened so long ago, and how can it be the same?"
Everyone has long been accustomed to his offline train of thought for 365 days - this is Wei Liangchen, a walking black hole of imagination!
"That's a good guess. Don't guess again next time." You Jinzhao curled his lips in disgust.
Why did Shi Li treat them strangely? Even little Leo didn't ask the reason, but he still took the initiative to ask.
The audition group is about to disband, and its relationship with the platform is already delicate.
According to this logic, not only Shi Li, but also another group agent Nina and the entire docking team are suspected. The scope is too broad.
After the meal, everyone took a short rest and then went out.
Perhaps because Xuzhou had specifically instructed them, the accompanying staff had obviously increased their vigilance and protected them more closely.
As soon as he got in the car, Xie Qingyu's phone lit up.
It was a message from Wei Qianze: "Yubao, regarding your claim that I was watching you in the cabin, I need to clarify. I wasn't really watching you, I just happened to notice you were on the same flight at the airport. You guys had a lot of fans at the airport, so I didn't approach them to say hello. I only glanced over at you when you were walking in front of me when we entered the cabin. What happened? Why are you so alert?"
This young master had obviously come back to his own territory to get a feel for the situation and came here specifically to sound out the situation.
But after all, this matter has little to do with Director Wei, and Xie Qingyu didn't intend to tell everyone he met, so he replied:
[Actually, I noticed you a long time ago. That was a stress test in the car~]
[You're lying!] The other party didn't buy it at all.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Qianze showed his amazing "reasoning" ability. It's true that he is "experienced" and he figured out most of the things in one go, but he was heading towards the chaos caused by black fans.
[Would you like me to introduce you to a reliable private detective? While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole waits behind. Let's defeat the enemy with one move!]
Xie Qingyu looked at the screen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
As expected of Young Master Wei, he performed these moves with such smoothness and skill that it was outrageous.
But the idea is also dangerous.
He helplessly replied: [Why don't you just ask someone to beat this guy up? ]
The other party immediately replied: [This idea is unacceptable! It's very dangerous! We are the five-good youth who grew up in the spring breeze and live in a society ruled by law!]
Well, even his lines were stolen.
Xie Qingyu shook his head and chuckled, but it was not surprising at all that Wei Qianze had such thoughts.
While chatting with Wei Qianze, a message from Hu Xuan suddenly popped up in the dialog box: [Arrived at the airport, boarding soon].
Xie Qingyu tapped her fingertips and replied, "Safe takeoff and landing," and sent the electronic ticket for the concert that Wei Qianze had been urging for a long time to his email.
Seeing Xie Qingyu suddenly being so straightforward, the person on the other side became serious: [Pay attention these days, and feel free to call me if you have any questions].
After all, helping someone is only meaningful if the person involved really needs it. Forcing yourself to help will only cause more trouble.
As soon as the chat ended, the convoy arrived at the venue.
To cope with emergencies, concert venues are generally arranged near hotels.
Xie Qingyu stared at the entrance through the car window. The dark hole looked like a beast's mouth, ready to pounce, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap...
