Director Zhang was not happy with this sudden scandal about Xin Mei, especially when their movie was about to get released. He was afraid that citizens would boycott the movie.
Citizens were like that only. They needed a reason to slander a star, especially a star like Xin Mei.
But he was happy that Heritage entertainment had cleared out all the rumours.

Only two weeks were left before the movie would be officially released on the big screens. And to promote the movie, the team of revenge had started to travel from city to city on the promotional tours. They were attending press conference in one city in the morning and in another city in the evening.
Su Yuchen was missing Xin Mei, she has gone to the promotional tours for the movie Revenge. He wanted to be with her during this time. But he could not take a risk of getting caught with Xin Mei. He had already tasted how badly Xin Mei would be slandered if their relationship was disclosed.
He knew he could protect her with his one sentence but he thought citizens were foolish. They always believed what they wanted to believe in. That was why his name was linked with Ning Xiao.
Xin Mei was also missing Su Yuchen very badly. It had been a long time that she had properly seen him face to face. She only got some free time to face time to him.
Another thing that troubled her during this promotional tour was Tang Min. He was following her like a loyal puppy.
Xin Mei had warned him, told him so many times that she would never become his girl, she already had a boyfriend but he was not ready to believe her. He wanted to make her his girlfriend, no matter what.
One such night, Xin Mei came out of her bathroom after taking a bath. She wore her nightdress and was about to resign for the day when someone knocked on her door.
She was happy thinking it was Su Yuchen. She bounced towards the door and opened it with a bright smile on her lips, but it turned out, the person on the other side of the door was, Tang Min.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him with irritation.
"Xiao Mei, I am here to talk with you." Tang Min smiled. "I brought this dish for you. This dish is very famous in the city GH."
Xin Mei massaged her head when she heard him. "Tang Min, is there any screw loosed in your mind? Why can't you understand that I am not going to accept you?"
"Xiao Mei, I have read somewhere that if a person keeps working hard then one day, he will get the sweet fruit for sure." Tang Min grinned.
Xin Mei took a deep breath and looked at him. "Tang Min, let me tell you a story, there was a fifteen-year-old girl. She felt irritated whenever someone proposed to her and in her irritation, she had sent many young boys to the hospital. She was an expert in karate and kickboxing."
"Why are you telling me this story?" Tang Min asked and massaged his head in confusion.
"Because that girl is me and I am hell irritated with your continuous nagging." She yelled. "I have left you till now but now no more."
Xin Mei yelled loudly and before Tang Min could comprehend anything, a forceful kick landed on his stomach, followed by a punch on his nose. Eyes of Tang Mei widened and he held on his stomach and nose with pain evident on his face.
"I am not beating you very severely because we still have many promotional tours, otherwise." Xin Mei twisted her wrist and glared at him. "Back off, Tang min. I am warning you. If next time you sprout 'I love you Xin Mei' rubbish then I will be beating you up very badly."
After giving her warning, Xin Mei closed the door on the face of Tang Min. He looked at the closed door with a sad smile. He finally realized that he had no chance with Xin Mei!

The next day, Xin Mei was a little late to arrive at the conference hall of the hotel where their press conference was taking place. When she entered inside, she found everyone running here and there.
It looked as if they all were searching for something or someone.
"Mister Kim, go and check the bar. I am sure he is there." Song Zhang ordered.
"But I have already checked it."
"Check it again. I am sure he is lying somewhere after getting drunk."
Xin Mei frowned and walked toward him. "Who is missing mister Song?"
"Xin Mei," Mister Song sighed in distress when he looked at Xin Mei. "Have you seen Chen Bai?"
"No, why? What happened?"
"He is missing since the last night. We have searched the whole hotel, his room, bar, swimming pool, gym, everywhere but we can't find him."
"Have you tried his number?" Xin Mei asked him with concern in her voice. She pulled out her mobile and dialled the number of Su Zixin.
"It's of no use. He is not picking up his phone. From the morning itself, I am dialling his number. We have also seen the CCTV film but still no clue of him."
"Don't worry Song Zhang. I am sure we will find him." Xin Mei tried to pacify him where her own heart was beating with fear.
Xin Mei knew Su Zixin was very professional. He may act immaturely but he was very serious for his career. He was not the one to leave the hotel without telling anyone.
He was not someone to vanish in thin air like this when he knew that today the press conference was of very much importance.
Xin Mei again dialled the number of Su Zixin and as told by Song Zhang, he was not picking up the call.
'Where are you Su Zixin?'
