Chapter 842: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (10)
【Hidden Mission: King of the Music Industry】
【Mission Character: Xia Ling. Mission Objective: Make Xia Ling the King of the Music Industry.】
‘Haha!’
Shi Sheng coldly replied to the system with two words.
“Don’t want to do any missions. Goodbye!”
【…】'Host, being so stubborn will get you into trouble!!!‘
The system really wanted to release a side mission, but considering that the host doesn’t even do hidden missions anymore, let alone side missions, it’s better to wait for an opportunity. If not, just deduct points!
‘She wants to buy a cosmic battleship, how is it possible without earning points! Hmph!‘
The place Xia Ling took Shi Sheng to was a very private restaurant. He seemed to be a regular and took them directly to a private room.
After Xia Ling sat down, he took out his phone and tossed it to Shi Sheng.
“What’s this for?”
Xia Ling casually propped his foot on the nearby chair. “There’s information about the Yin family inside.”
“Can’t you just take care of them for me?” ‘Other people’s domineering CEOs could wipe out a country in minutes.’
Xia Ling sneered. “Do you think I’m a rich second generation or a rich first generation?”
“Aren’t you?” The plot seemed to have never mentioned Xia Ling’s background, only that he would oppose the male lead later on, and his ending wasn’t very good.
Dragging the chair over, Xia Ling sat beside Shi Sheng, resting his hand on her shoulder. “I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m not, so do you still want to be my girlfriend?”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of you.”
Xia Ling’s mouth twitched, gritting his teeth. “Who said I need you to take care of me.”
Shi Sheng had a serious expression. “Then you take care of me.”
After a moment of silence, Xia Ling took out a card from his pocket. “Don’t max out my card, I can’t afford it.”
He hardly had any source of income now, and the money in this card was what he had saved before.
Shi Sheng unabashedly accepted the card.
Xia Ling ruffled Shi Sheng’s head and started ordering from the menu.
Shi Sheng used Xia Ling’s phone to look at the information he mentioned. It was similar to what she had obtained, but there were a few details she didn’t know.
“Yin Shijie has two children outside, although Yin Baobao is the apparent heir, Yin Shijie prefers to leave the property to the children born from his affairs.” Xia Ling’s voice echoed.
“Cut her off from the root?” Without her status as an heir, Yin Baobao would be nothing.
Xia Ling gave Shi Sheng a knowing look.
Shi Sheng was tempted to stir up trouble. Wasn’t that her usual style? This fellow must have picked it up subconsciously from being around her for so long.
The former Feng Ci wouldn’t have had this skill.
Shi Sheng needed a way to retrieve An Chen’s song, but without the original manuscript, she couldn’t just sue directly.
So she decided to make An Chen confess on his own.
Shi Sheng secretly prepared to kidnap the male lead.
There’s no simpler way than this.
Little did she know, when she went there, she happened to encounter another group trying to kidnap An Chen.
Shi Sheng: “…”
‘If I went over now and said, “Hey, can I join your kidnapping team?” would I end up getting myself killed?’
‘Most likely.’
Shi Sheng decided to follow them for now.
She followed the kidnappers’ car out of the city, arriving at a farmhouse in the outskirts.
They locked An Chen in one room and went into another, with someone guarding outside.
Shi Sheng circled around to the back and looked. There were no windows, so she couldn’t get in.
Looking up, Shi Sheng reached for her iron sword and flew up to the roof, lifting some tiles to peek inside.
An Chen lay unconscious on the ground.
Shi Sheng lifted more tiles, jumped down from the roof, and observed that there were no surveillance cameras in the room before proceeding to untie the male lead.
An Chen was probably drugged, and it took Shi Sheng a lot of effort to wake him up.
He first saw a baby-faced girl. His vision was a bit blurry, taking a while to focus.
As An Chen moved and realized he was tied up, he glared angrily at the woman crouching in front of him. “Mmm… Where…?”
‘Isn’t this the same girl I saw outside the bar last time?’
“What’s your name?” Shi Sheng tapped An Chen’s head. “You want others outside to hear?”
An Chen furrowed his brows, quickly calming down and gesturing for Shi Sheng to tear off the tape covering his mouth.
Shi Sheng tore off the tape from his mouth.
“Are you kidnapped too?” An Chen tactfully refrained from yelling. At times like this, screaming wouldn’t help.
“No!”
“Are you with the kidnappers?” An Chen’s brow furrowed even deeper.
“You’re overthinking. I’m not with them… Well, not originally. I was supposed to kidnap you, but someone beat me to it. So now I’m here to rescue you.”
An Chen: “…” ‘Why does that sound so contradictory?’
Shi Sheng took out her phone and opened Weibo. “What’s your Weibo account?”
An Chen: “…”
‘What is she doing, broadcasting my kidnapping?’
An Chen remained silent with a cold face.
Then he saw the girl across from him pull out a sword from who knows where and hold it against his neck. “What’s your Weibo account?”
‘Is this woman insane?’
An Chen’s breath became uneven. Three seconds later, he revealed his account.
“Password.”
An Chen glared at him. “What are you up to?”
Shi Sheng looked dead serious. “I’m going to post a Weibo for you.”
An Chen: “…” ‘I was kidnapped just so she could post on Weibo?’
Shi Sheng seemed to understand what An Chen was thinking and immediately defended herself. “I didn’t kidnap you. Don’t pin it on me. I just seized an opportunity.”
‘Is that how seizing an opportunity works?’
An Chen quickly glanced around. He had no idea where he was or what this woman who was demanding his Weibo account and password wanted.
“Go check if he’s awake.” A voice suddenly came from outside.
An Chen looked towards the door. It was pushed open, and the person outside glanced inside. “He’s awake.”
“Weird, how did the tape come off? I’ll go re-tape him.” The speaker entered from outside and re-taped An Chen.
An Chen cautiously scanned the surroundings, seeing nothing unusual, yet everyone looked peculiar.
An Chen gave the girl standing behind the person a strange look. She was looking at her phone, completely ignoring him as if she hadn’t seen him at all.
It was either she didn’t recognize him or was acting like she hadn’t seen him.
An Chen’s face turned pale. ‘Is this person a ghost?’
“Uh… uh… uh…” An Chen suddenly struggled, gesturing for the person to look behind.
Shi Sheng raised her head, grinning eerily at An Chen.
“Don’t fuss. We’ll release you once we get the money.”
“Uh… uh… uh…” ‘There’s someone behind you!’
The person ignored An Chen and went straight out the door.
Once they were gone, An Chen’s face turned ashen. ‘Am I encountering something dirty?’
Shi Sheng made sure the coast was clear outside, then crouched back in front of An Chen, holding her phone up to him. “Read this, or else…”
Shi Sheng made a gesture as if she was about to strangle him, her expression menacing.
An Chen quickly scanned the words on the phone.
“Uh… uh… uh…”
Shi Sheng tore off the tape again.
“What are you? Why couldn’t that person just see you?”
Shi Sheng glared fiercely. “You’re the one here who’s a thing! Read it now!”
“You’re slandering me!” ‘To accuse me of stealing someone else’s song, how would I ever survive in the industry after that?’
“Where did you get these lyrics?”
“Baobao gave them to me.”
“Hmph, and she stole them from me.”
An Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you have any evidence?”
