CH 23

KK is someone Shen Bu met at the orphanage, but he was later adopted because of his good personality and has been living abroad since then.

Recently, when he was playing with investments, he accidentally got in touch with KK, and then invited him to his company.

During the time he was recording the program in the training camp, KK was helping him.

Whenever Shen Bu replied to a message, KK would call him right away.

“A’Bu, didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Lin Jin’er? The Lin family is about to collapse, but she seems to not care at all, and is still keeping an eye on your rich wife.”

“Has anyone special appeared around her?” Shen Bu asked.

He always had a strange feeling that Lin Jin’er should have another helper, but even though it has been so long since the Lin family had an accident, there has been no other news from her.

“Someone special? Su Ruojing? He did have a few interactions with Lin Jin’er. Although they appeared to be cooperating on the surface, he was actually protecting Su Wantong in private, so don’t worry.”

After listening, Shen Bu didn’t ask any further. After a pause, he spoke again, “Can you find out who removed the hot search?”

Although he asked this, he already had an idea in mind.

“Hot search? What hot search?” KK was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Oh, that… A’Bu, do you really want to know?”

He wasn’t very familiar with Chinese celebrities, but he was quite familiar with Su Wantong. After all, when he was in the orphanage, he could hear her singing almost every morning on the radio.

From his recent interactions with Shen Bu, it’s obvious that Shen Bu has fallen under Su Wantong’s charm. If he finds out that it was Su Wantong who removed the hot search…

“Is it Wantong?” Shen Bu asked.

KK had no choice but to respond, “Yes, she probably doesn’t want you to be involved in these rumors too early. After all, you’ve just become famous, and fans may not like to see you in a romantic relationship.”

KK even added an unnecessary explanation.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Bu remained silent for a long time.

KK then updated him on some recent developments before ending the call.

Shen Bu knew very well that Su Wantong had been avoiding him since the last performance.

Previously, she had wished for him to be on the hot search every day, but now that fans had paired them up as a couple, she had spent money to remove the hot search.

What did that mean?

It was clear that she didn’t want any relationship with him.

But, he couldn’t comply with her wishes just because of this incident.

The next day, Su Ruojing texted Wan Tong, asking to meet up to celebrate the success of her album.

Su Wantong agreed to the meeting, thinking of how he had previously reminded himself to pay attention to Lin Jiner’s actions.

But the location of the appointment was a bit strange, it was actually at a bar.

The original owner didn’t drink, did he forget?

Despite this, she still discreetly went with Xiao Cen.

Xiao Cen is quite popular, as soon as they entered, he was approached by several beautiful women. Su Wantong watched with amusement and finally waved her hand, letting him go drink with the women.

She told him the room number and asked him to come and pick her up later.

However, when she entered the private room, she found that Su Ruojing hadn’t arrived yet.

This was a bit inconsistent with Su Ruojing’s character and style. He always arrived early.

She was about to make a phone call when she realized that her phone was missing.

She lowered her head and flipped through the bag again. At that moment, the door of the private room made a noise, and she looked over to see a tall and thin stranger walk in.

In the brightly lit cafe, Lin Jin’er put her handbag on the table and sat down in front of Su Ruojing.

“Do you have something to tell me?” Su Ruojing’s attitude was neither warm nor cold, but if you looked closely, you could see that he was already quite impatient.

Although Lin Jin’er was angry in her heart, she didn’t show it on her face.

This Su Ruojing is really something. He said he wanted to cooperate with her before, but he always messed things up in the end.

At first, she didn’t realize it, but after it happened several times, she caught on.

This time, Su Ruojing’s company also made things difficult for the Lin family.

“What’s the rush? Does Mr. Su not even have time for a cup of coffee?” Lin Jin’er asked.

“It also depends on who the person is,” Su Ruojing didn’t give her any face. He was too lazy to play along with her anymore.

Just a jumping clown.

He finished speaking and was about to get up and leave.

Lin Jiner was not in a hurry and said to him, “That’s a pity. I was planning to invite President Su to watch a play, but it seems that President Su doesn’t have time.”

The pretentious tone made Su Ruojing frown slightly.

“If you have something to say, I’m in a hurry.”

“I mentioned before to collaborate with President Su, but since you didn’t give me face, I can only rely on myself now.” Lin Jiner turned her phone screen towards Su Ruojing as she spoke, “I helped you arrange a meeting with Su Wantong. Does President Su want to go and see her now? Maybe she’s still waiting for you.”

As soon as Su Ruojing saw the figure on top, his face immediately changed.

In the video, there was a figure of Wan Tong. She and her bodyguard entered a bar, but then the bodyguard separated from her.

Faint voices could be heard in the secretly filmed video, and she did mention waiting for him in a private room.

But he never made any plans with her.

Su Ruojing was tall and burly. He stood up and bent over, reaching out to grab Lin Jin’er’s collar, almost lifting her up.

“What are you doing!” Lin Jin’er was shocked by Su Ruojing’s sudden violence, her face turning pale.

The commotion here caught the attention of several people nearby, but given Su Ruojing’s ferocious appearance, no one dared to come forward to stop him.

Su Ruojing leaned in close to Lin Jiner, his tone extremely cold, “What have you done?”

“I haven’t done anything… let go of me!” Lin Jin’er struggled, not even caring about her image as she tried to catch her breath.

“Do you think I’ll believe you? Where is she?” Su Ruojing demanded.

Lin Jin’er noticed the urgency in his expression and smirked, “Su Ruojing, if you have the ability, go find her yourself. What kind of man bullies a woman?”

Su Ruojing sneered and disgustingly threw her off, “Lin Jin’er, wait to be dealt with.”

He walked out while making a phone call.

When Su Ruojing called Su Wantong, she didn’t answer, so he called Xiao Cen.

Luckily, Xiao Cen answered the phone in a timely manner.

“Who are you?” Su Wantong looked at the tall and thin man who walked in and became wary.

The tall and thin man wore black-framed glasses and looked gentle. He didn’t get too close and stopped a few steps away before speaking, “Don’t be afraid, I’m your fan. I saw someone following you outside just now, so I notified your bodyguard first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cen walked in and threw a sneaky man with a shrunken head on the ground.

“Miss Su, are you okay?” Xiao Cen threw the creepy man to the ground and looked at her. “See, I knew those women who approached me had bad intentions. They’re just a diversion.”

Glancing at Xiao Cen and the man on the ground, Wan Tong finally looked at the man with black-rimmed glasses who walked in. “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course, you’re my idol. Even with a mask on, I can recognize you.” The man spoke sincerely, but Wan Tong still felt something was off.

“Oh, this is your phone, right? I snatched it back from this man just now.” The man handed her the phone and grinned. “My name is KK. Can you give me an autograph?”

Looking into his eyes, Wan Tong felt that he wasn’t lying, so she nodded.

KK leaned in, but then hesitated. “Oh, but I don’t have a pen.”

Xiao Cen stepped on the man lying on the ground and dutifully took out a signature pen with a cartoon cap.

Who knows, his previous employers always made him carry guns and knives, but this employer is really cute, letting him carry a pen with him.

Wan Tong took off her mask, took the pen, and looked at KK, “Where should I sign?”

Kk rubbed his head and lifted his own T-shirt, pointing to his heart, “Sign here!”

Wan Tong: “…”

But she had encountered such fans before, so she quickly signed her name.

“Thank you, ah, Ri… um, Wan Tong!” KK almost blurted out “rich woman”.

“Miss Su, should we report to the police? Mr. Su just called and said it was designed by Lin Jin’er. He never sent you any messages,” said Xiao Cen.

“I don’t know anything, I just stole a phone!” the sleazy man lying on the ground quickly spoke up.

If he didn’t confess, it would be hard to charge Lin Jin’er.

“If you don’t know how to handle it, why not leave it to me?” KK suddenly spoke up.

Wen Tong looked at him suspiciously, and KK immediately showed a sincere smile, “I have some means to deal with these shameless people.”

Wan Tong just glanced at him, put on her mask, and said to Xiao Cen, “Let’s go back and leave the guy here.”

Xiao Cen nodded, but he was also worried. Who knows what this guy named KK might do? If he causes unnecessary trouble for his employer in the future, it wouldn’t be good.

“Don’t worry, bro.” KK patted Xiao Cen’s shoulder and suddenly winked at him, making a mouth gesture that was hidden from Wan Tong’s view, “Shen Bu.”

Xiao Cen was stunned. So this guy was one of Shen Bu’s people? Then why didn’t he let his employer know?

Probably because he didn’t want her to worry too much.

Thinking this, Xiao Cen followed Wan Tong and left, feeling relieved.

“Miss Su, don’t you want to know how that person was dealt with?” When they were in the car, Xiao Cen couldn’t help but ask.

Wan Tong shook her head. “It’s better not to know.”

“Do you believe that person just now, Miss Su?”

“It doesn’t matter whether I believe him or not. I just can’t find a reason why he would harm me. In fact, he saved me.” As she spoke, Wan Tong called Su Ruojing back.

Xiao Cen nodded.

When they returned to the villa, Su Ruojing was already waiting for Wan Tong.

Although she had already reported her safety over the phone earlier, he still had a worried heart, afraid that something might have happened to her.

Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and then asked about the text message.

“It’s strange, my phone never left my side, how could someone use my number to send you a text message?”

Shaking her head, even though she suspected that Lin Jin’er had sent the message through the system, no one would believe it if she said it out loud.

“Be careful in the future, if I make plans with you, I’ll definitely confirm it with you in person. I won’t let a girl go to such a dangerous place alone at night.”

“Okay, I understand.” Wan Tong nodded obediently, after spending time with him, she also discovered that Su Ruojing was a rare gentleman.

Su Ruojing looked at her obedient and well-behaved appearance and his heart softened. His voice also became gentler, “As long as you’re okay. It’s Brother’s carelessness. I promise it won’t happen again next time.”

After speaking, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch her soft hair.

Perhaps he was too focused, he forgot to conceal his overly affectionate and passionate gaze, and met with the surprised look in her eyes. Then, her heart skipped a beat.

After Su Ruojing left, she covered her head with both hands, curled up on the sofa, and looked lifeless.

【Shishi, does Su Ruojing really like the original host?】

【…】As for these love matters, Shishi really doesn’t understand them. It can only analyze the facts and conclude that Su Ruojing is harmless to the host.

“Ah, it’s really a great love life…” sighed Wan Tong.

Shishi: […It’s your love life.]

At this time, Lin Jin’er received a message and came to the bar.

When she entered the private room, she saw a man lying on the ground, but Su Wantong was nowhere to be seen.

She frowned and kicked the man a few times with her high heels, “What kind of job did you do? Where is she?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door locking behind her.

She didn’t have time to react when she heard the alert tone from System 074, [Host detected in a dangerous environment, please evacuate quickly.]

Lin Jin’er looked at the man who had already been kicked awake on the ground and panicked, taking a few steps back to pull the door, only to find that someone had locked it from the outside!

She kicked the red door several times in a panic, “Who is it?! Open the door for me!”

But soon, she was pulled roughly by someone, and she fell to the ground, immediately being pinned down by a smelly man!

The man’s breathing was heavy, and he didn’t look like he was in a normal state!

[What the f*ck! 074! Get him off me! How dare he touch me! Kill him for me!] Lin Jin’er screamed in panic, disgusted by the man but unable to push him away no matter what.

[This requires the host to make efforts on her own. The system cannot interfere with characters in this world other than the target of the strategy, otherwise it will cause chaos.]

“I need your help now!”

[System–]

But 074 was blocked after just one word.

Because the naked man was already on top of Lin Jin’er, and she was also torn apart!

In a hidden corner of the private room, a mini camera was quietly operating.

On a car outside the bar, KK leaned in front of the computer screen with a puzzled expression, “Who is she talking to?”

No wonder A’Bu would suspect that someone was behind her. These nerve-wrecking words made it feel like there was something in the air…

KK shuddered. Damn, this woman must be crazy!

He wasn’t interested in this unappealing porn video and was about to turn it off when he suddenly saw a shocking scene.

The woman, who had been motionless, suddenly found strength from somewhere, flipped the man over, and then smashed him against the wall, the color of blood spreading.

“What the f*ck!”

He’s dead.

However, having seen many scenes like this before, KK quickly calmed down.

After the woman swiftly left the recorded place, he checked the time and called Shen Bu to report the situation truthfully.

“She was asking for help from thin air?” Shen Bu asked in a low voice, his tone unclear.

“Yes, after that, she suddenly became strong and pushed the man away. He…was thrown against the wall and bled out. I don’t think he’ll survive. I’ll find a chance to have someone check the situation later.”

“Okay, you handle it.” Shen Bu didn’t seem interested in these matters.

After tonight, Lin Jin’er would be finished.

After waiting for a while, KK didn’t see Shen Bu hang up the phone. He smiled knowingly and said jokingly, “A’Bu, why don’t you hang up? Aren’t you busy training for your live performance?”

Shen Bu pondered for a moment and ignored his teasing, asking proactively, “Is she scared?”

KK suppressed a laugh and felt speechless, “She’s not scared. We arrived in time to intervene, and when I got there, she hadn’t even seen that person yet. She was just sitting there waiting for someone, quite obedient.”

He paused and continued, “By the way, A’Bu, I think Wan Tong is so cute and beautiful. Her voice is sweet, and her personality is so nice. She even signed my shirt at the heart. “

KK’s intention was to show off, but his voice was interrupted by the phone on the other end.

“You only got a signature,” Shen Bu enunciated clearly, “while her entirety, is mine.”

The word “mine” was pronounced with possessiveness by him.

Then he immediately hung up the phone.

KK’s mouth twitched, tsk, men.

He took out his phone and took several pictures of the signature on his clothes, sending them all to Shen Bu.

It was really a tasteless joke.

Soon, Wan Tong forgot about the incident, but wherever she went, she brought Xiao Cen along.

The final episode of “Idol Training Camp” was broadcast live, and Shen Bu successfully made his debut as the center, becoming a top-tier popular celebrity for a time.

However, unfortunately, before the boy group even began their activities, a director from the “Idol Training Camp” production team was reported for his actions.

He used the debut position to threaten trainees, forcing them to use their sexuality to please investors, and even resorted to various dirty tactics.

As soon as this news broke, it caused a sensation on the internet.

One of the hottest shows at the moment, which had brought so many young idols into the limelight, unexpectedly had such a scandal exposed during the formation of the boy group. Can this team continue to move forward?

Even the eleven members who debuted were subject to many inexplicable doubts.

Did they really achieve it through hard work, instead of some director’s behind-the-scenes manipulation?

Wan Tong was also worried that Shen Bu would be implicated, but fortunately, his talent had been verified. The most controversial person might be Xue Letong, whose skills were not as good as others, but his expression management and infectiousness were strong, which gave him a deep fan base and allowed him to squeeze into the last debut position.

Now that this incident has happened, Xue Letong is the first to bear the brunt and has become the most questioned person.

Soon, the investigation results came out.

The dirty things that the involved director did during the recording were all exposed.

The most shocking thing was that he made the trainees sell their bodies.

A video surfaced online showing the involved director taking eight trainees to a dinner party, where many female executives of different ages kept pouring drinks for the trainees.

If the trainees politely declined, they would be scolded for being ignorant, and the voice of the involved director reprimanding them was particularly harsh.

Watching the helpless trainees in the video, netizens felt sorry for them and criticized the involved director and the production team.

Under such public pressure, the program team quickly issued a statement that the involved director had been dismissed and received fair and severe punishment, but netizens were not satisfied with this.

Of the eight trainees, only Chen Jiexiu and Shen Bu are currently in the group, so after the video was exposed, journalists kept following them to ask for more details.

As a result, the two had to temporarily withdraw from group activities.

Zhongheng Entertainment brought the two back to the company and privately lectured them, instructing them to keep quiet about what happened and not to tarnish the program team’s reputation.

With eleven debut spots available, Zhongheng Entertainment had secured two of them. Of course, they hoped that the group would not be affected by this incident and at least gain some popularity first, right?

Liang Zhou spoke at length while Chen Jiexiu nodded in agreement, but Shen Bu remained indifferent throughout.

This was also Liang Zhou’s biggest concern.

After all, Shen Bu was the one who suffered the most in the beginning. If he were to say something even more outrageous, not only would netizens go crazy, but he would also go crazy.

“Alright, you guys can rest in the dormitory for the next few days. You won’t be participating in any team activities for now,” Liang Zhou said.

Chen Jiexiu followed behind Shen Bu, and when they were alone in the corridor, he asked, “Shen Bu, what will you do? Will you tell the reporter the truth?”

He couldn’t be sure about others, but he knew that Shen Bu was drugged that day.

Given Shen Bu’s character, he thought it was unlikely for him to swallow such humiliation.

Shen Bu kept his gaze straight ahead and his thin lips slightly parted, “I want to kill them.”

He said so in a calm tone, every word clearly enunciated. It wasn’t a heavy tone, but it was strangely chilling in broad daylight.

Chen Jiexiu was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, looking at him.

With that cold profile and his long lashes hiding his eyes filled with anger and his usual melancholy, Chen Jiexiu was frightened.

Who is he going to kill?

He didn’t follow after Shen Bu. He didn’t know if he should turn around and tell Liang Zhou or act like he knew nothing.

But he had a premonition that with Shen Bu in the entertainment industry, this period of time was going to be far from peaceful.

It was strange, he used to look down on Shen Bu, but now he was impressed.

He was flexible, knew how to play hardball, had a strong learning ability, and someone like him should be befriended or at least not to be offended.

He probably couldn’t stay in Zhongheng Entertainment anymore.

Shen Bu didn’t go back to the dormitory, but instead went back to Wan Tong’s place.

It was quiet at home. He had been busy since the formation of the group and had never come back, but everything in sight still made him feel at ease.

The atmosphere here could soothe the restlessness and aggressiveness in his heart.

Outside the recording studio, the door was not soundproof, and he could hear humming coming from inside.

He didn’t know how long had passed, but suddenly the door opened.

Wan Tong was very sleepy and was about to go back to her room for a nap, but she didn’t expect to see Shen Bu as soon as she opened the door.

She almost thought she was dreaming, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and looked up at him. “A’Bu? Why are you back?”
