Regarding that guess, Shen Tang did not say it out, after all it was just a guess.
Luo Chen took the initiative to ask the other party for a face-to-face talk, however the other party directly and indirectly expressed that they did not want to meet, which made Luo Chen very suspicious.
He covered the receiver and said, "Could it be that he is an imposter?"
"Maybe, in any case, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, take him out for a walk and you'll know."
"You have a point."
Finally, Luo Chen used discussing the guest matter as an excuse and successfully got the person to come out.
The time was set for the evening two days later.
This time...
Shen Tang frowned, it wouldn't happen to coincide with Gu Huaian's time right...
She wanted Luo Chen to change the time, however the other party said they were only free that night.
Shen Tang had no choice, she could only hope that the banquet Gu Huaian mentioned was not on that day.
As a public figure, after Shen Tang finished her coffee, she did not go out with Luo Chen, instead she deliberately waited a few minutes.
As soon as she went out, she felt someone was secretly taking photos of her, Shen Tang looked towards the camera and made a "yeah" gesture.
She didn't know what the paparazzi were thinking, but she didn't want to be photographed looking bad.
Just then, a girl wearing a duckbill cap suddenly came over and quietly asked, "Excuse me, are you Shen Tang?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
The girl excitedly covered her mouth, "Ahhh I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"
"No no, can you give me your autograph?"
"Sure, where do you want me to sign?"
"Sign it on the photo." The girl reached into her pocket for a pen, her expression changed, "Ah! I think my wallet just dropped on the road, can you come help me find it?"
"Of course I can." Shen Tang looked back at the paparazzi, then followed the girl.
The girl kept her head lowered looking for the wallet, "Huh? Where did it drop?"
Until they reached the alley entrance, Shen Tang stopped walking.
"Alright, if I keep pretending with you, my food is going to get cold."
The girl instantly dropped her smile, "You knew? How was I exposed?"
"Hmm, your eyes were too exaggerated and superficial. You weren't looking at me with any fondness."
"Then why did you still follow me over?"
"I just wanted to see what you were trying to do."
The girl sighed, "You're pretty smart, what a pity, you're too arrogant. I'm sorry, I was forced."
Just as Shen Tang was about to speak, a bunch of powder was suddenly thrown at her from the other side. Even though she swiftly held her breath, she still breathed some in.
Her last thought before passing out was: Damn sneak attack! I didn't even finish talking!
She pretended to faint, hehehe.
She could hear soft footsteps and conversation.
"I helped trick her out for you, now you can delete those photos right," the girl said.
"Delete them? Such good looking photos, it would be such a waste to delete them. I look at them every night before going to bed..." the man let out a vulgar laugh, it made Shen Tang really want to get up and punch him.
"Sun Zheng! You promised me!"
"What did I promise you? Do you have any proof?" The one called Sun Zheng laughed sinisterly.
Shen Tang had been lying on the ground so long she was getting tired. These two still hadn't made a move.
It could probably be said her acting skills were quite good, after all no one had noticed she was pretending until now.
Shen Tang felt that if she didn't get an Oscar statuette next year, she wouldn't be convinced.
"Sun Zheng! You shameless jerk!" The girl's voice even carried a sob.
"How am I shameless? Did I force you? Weren't all these your own voluntary actions?"
The girl let out low sobs.
Shen Tang realized something, no matter when, even if you have a good relationship, you shouldn't agree to unreasonable demands.
She opened her eyes and got up, dusting herself off, "Are you guys done tying me up or what?"
The two were frightened.
"You didn't pass out?!"
Sun Zheng swallowed, steeled his heart, and gritted his teeth, "Don't blame me, blame your bad luck!"
As Sun Zheng spoke, he reached to grab something from his pocket, Shen Tang noticed a bulge there, possibly concealing some sharp object.
But before she could make a move, Sun Zheng was suddenly kicked flying by a powerful force from the side, and that girl was also knocked to the ground.
Shen Tang looked towards Xiao Yu who had retracted her leg, revealing a smile, "So cool."
Xiao Yu expressionlessly mumbled an "Mm", but her ear tips flushed red.
"What should we do with them?"
"Of course call the police!"
As a law-abiding good citizen, taking justice into your own hands was unacceptable.
As she thought this, Shen Tang stepped down forcefully on Sun Zheng's hand and ground down hard.
She then spoke in an exaggerated tone: "Ah, sorry, didn't see that."
Sun Zheng's eyes were bloodshot from rage and pain, he wanted to curse but forcefully held it back.
This woman was clearly trained in martial arts, he was no match for her.
The girl at the side also knew better than to provoke them, she shrank back to the corner trying to minimize her presence, afraid her hand would get stepped on too.
Soon after, the police arrived, it was an officer Shen Tang recognized. He had handled the case last time when she beat up human traffickers on the street.
"Miss Shen?"
"That's right, it's me again." Shen Tang pointed to Sun Zheng's pocket and said, "Be careful, I think he has a knife in there."
Hearing this, the officer took the item out of Sun Zheng's pocket — it really was a knife, and there were even blood stains on it!
"Did he kill someone?!" Shen Tang backed away in fright.
Sun Zheng was furious to the point his eyes were bloodshot. He gnashed his teeth, "That's my blood!"
Turns out when Xiao Yu had kicked Sun Zheng flying just now, the knife in his pocket cut him.
Xiao Yu didn't react much, as if they weren't talking about her.
Shen Tang stroked her nose, "That was also your own fault."
They would have to go to the station to give statements about this kind of situation. The few people got in the police car and left.
Shen Tang kept feeling she had forgotten something important but just couldn’t recall what it was.
The efficient police soon got to the bottom of things.
Sun Zheng was unemployed without skills. He spent his days addicted to gaming.
The girl was his girlfriend. Unable to tolerate Sun Zheng any longer, she wanted to break up.
But because they had taken risqué photos together when they were dating, Sun Zheng used those to threaten her not to break up.
Until recently, Sun Zheng saw a post on a forum. The original poster offered 5,000 RMB to buy private photos of Shen Tang.
Sun Zheng was bewitched by the 5,000 RMB. Just as he was racking his brains thinking about how to get those photos, he happened to see Shen Tang this morning. So he threatened his girlfriend to help trick her.
When Shen Tang learned the reason, she was quite speechless. Was 5,000 RMB worth all that?
The police found that forum. It turned out almost all the posts were similarly asking for private photos of female celebrities.
Shen Tang took a look around, the corners of her lips drooped, very unhappy.
"No way, on what basis?"
"On what basis am I so cheap in there, only 5,000 RMB. Why does everyone else start from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand?"
Everyone around was a bit surprised, that's the thing you're hung up on?
Not until Shen Tang left the police station and received Pei Kesong's call did she recall that she had forgotten about the paparazzi.
She embarrassingly asked, "What did the paparazzi say?"
"They said you oppressed men tyrannically."
"Huh?"
"Kidding, go take a look yourself. And use your alt account."
After hanging up, Shen Tang sighed, "Xiao Yu, thanks for your hard work today."
If not for Xiao Yu being there, Shen Tang wouldn't have dared to boldly follow like that either.
"It wasn't difficult, it was fated."
Shen Tang: "..."
This girl actually learned to talk back, she couldn't have been negatively influenced from being close could she!
Shen Tang started reflecting.
After one second of reflection, Shen Tang convinced herself:
Oh well, why should she blame herself?
Things were good as they were now. Compared to before, Xiao Yu was much more popular now, and that was all thanks to her efforts.
Shen Tang unabashedly thought.
