Chapter 852: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (20)
After that, the group struggled to stay together for a while but ultimately couldn’t manage it. Cui Liangye left too, and where he went, Xia Ling didn’t know. He saw him a few times later, and he seemed to be doing just average.
Xia Ling curled his lips slightly. “An Chen has always believed that I betrayed the group.”
When trouble arose, he was the first to find a way out. Over the years, he had subtly and openly suppressed him.
Back when they were in the group, Xia Ling and An Chen had a decent relationship, bordering on brotherhood. But after this incident, An Chen left without a word, not even bothering to uncover the truth.
Shi Sheng remained silent for a moment. ‘A classic case of brothers turning against each other!’
“A man is useless. Having me is enough.” Shi Sheng patted her chest with a dominant air.
Xia Ling couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, having you is enough.”
‘Having you is enough.’
The interview wasn’t live, but with so many audience members and staff present, it was impossible to control them from posting on Weibo once they left.
#XiaLingHittingPeople# trended again.
Along with that…
#SHINEDisbandmentTruth#
And #XiaLingChenYanBreakup#. Shi Sheng was speechless. Even breaking up a CP could become a trending topic.
In a short time, Shi Sheng noticed several prominent bloggers posting long Weibo articles about the truth behind SHINE’s disbandment, dissecting the reasons from every possible angle.
In summary:
SHINE disbanded because of Xia Ling.
Back then, not many media outlets reported on this issue. Those who knew were silenced, which is why no one reported the real reason for SHINE’s disbandment.
Now that it had blown up online, those who knew couldn’t hold back and started spilling the beans.
“Congratulations, you have more black fans now.” Shi Sheng watched the rapidly increasing follower count, feeling helpless.
‘This is definitely the fastest way to gain followers in the industry.’
‘Even if they’re haters.’
Xia Ling, practicing a new song nearby, lifted his head from a pile of instruments. “Those people are just bored. Ignore them.”
Shi Sheng put her phone away. “Don’t you think something about this situation is strange?”
That host had asked such direct questions. How did she know about the incident back then?
And why bring it up now?
And those marketing accounts, writing those long posts in such a short time – there was definitely a conspiracy.
“Yu-ge hasn’t had it easy lately.” Xia Ling didn’t answer Shi Sheng’s question, instead mentioning Yu Sheng. “His artists have been getting into trouble one after another.”
First, there were those scandalous photos, then several more scandals about other artists.
Yu Sheng was busy all the time. Xia Ling was now fully managed by Shi Sheng, and the resurfacing of the SHINE incident gave Yu Sheng even more headaches.
An Chen’s fans were one thing, but Xia Ling’s haters getting involved made it even worse.
Xia Ling’s lack of any response was somewhat comforting to Yu Sheng.
If Xia Ling decided to confront his fans again, Yu Sheng might as well end it all.
Yu Sheng was being schemed against, and Shi Sheng instantly guessed it was that retard Yin Baobao.
She was hiding well, not daring to show herself, orchestrating things from behind the scenes.
But how could Shi Sheng not find her?
She drove out of the city to the suburbs, where there was a private villa area, where Yin Baobao was hiding.
Shi Sheng avoided the surveillance cameras, climbed over the wall, and found Yin Baobao’s villa.
She swaggered up to the door and rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was probably a bodyguard, looking surprised to see her. He quickly said something into his earpiece, and soon more bodyguards came out of the villa.
Yin Baobao stood behind them.
“Bu Meng!” Yin Baobao’s expression was a bit strange when she recognized the person at her door. “How did you get in?”
Shi Sheng pushed open the iron gate, slowly walked into the yard under their surprised gazes, and looked calmly at Yin Baobao. “Just like this.”
‘That’s a coded lock…’
The bodyguards were confused, exchanging glances. ‘Did someone forget to lock the door?’
‘They locked it!’
‘How did she just push it open?’
‘And if she could just push it open, why did she ring the doorbell earlier? Mental illness?’
“Since you came to me, don’t blame me for being rude. Seize her,” Yin Baobao commanded sharply.
Yin Baobao had dared to kidnap people before, and now she probably dared to kill too.
The bodyguards, very professionally, quickly surrounded Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng remained calm, but her tone was somewhat arrogant. “You’ll have to line up if you want to catch me.”
‘There are enough people wanting me(bbb) dead to circle the Earth several times, not even counting those who want to catch me(bbb).’
The bodyguards: “…” ‘Is this girl crazy?’
‘Look at her small frame; we could handle her with one hand, yet she’s telling us to line up? Such bravado!’
But soon, the bodyguards realized this girl wasn’t just boasting – she meant it.
They never imagined such a small girl could be so formidable.
Shi Sheng grabbed the head bodyguard.
She was much shorter than him, so she pulled him towards the steps.
The head bodyguard was reluctant, but with a sharp sword against his neck, he had no choice but to move with her.
Standing on the steps, Shi Sheng was immediately taller than the head bodyguard.
With the height issue resolved, Shi Sheng looked down at him, smirking coldly. “Tell your people to capture her.”
Head bodyguard: “…”
‘This isn’t how it’s supposed to go.’
‘That’s my employer!’
‘How could I capture my employer?’
Shi Sheng continued to make threats. “If you don’t, I’ll kill you. Whose life is more valuable–yours or hers?”
‘Obviously my own life is more valuable!’
They were just regular bodyguards, not willing to die for anyone. Money was useless if they were dead.
But the head bodyguard hesitated. “Killing is illegal.”
They were licensed bodyguards, not lawbreakers.
Shi Sheng sneered, arrogantly flicking her bangs. “If the police don’t know I did it, then it’s not illegal. Are you stupid?”
Head bodyguard: “…”
‘I’m not stupid.’
‘I’ve just never encountered such a arrogantly confident person–who’s a woman! Pei! Little girl!’
‘Exactly which family produced this girl!?’
‘So arrogant and self-assured, the police will definitely want to have words with you!’
“Stop wasting time, hurry up, or I’ll make your head and neck say goodbye.” Shi Sheng pressed the sword harder, the blade cutting into his artery. He could feel the cold steel slicing his skin.
He didn’t want to die.
The head bodyguard immediately signaled, “Do… do as she says.”
“You dare! I paid you!” Yin Baobao screamed in panic, “I’ll pay you more!”
The head bodyguard was desperate. ‘No amount of money matters if I’m dead!’
“Sorry, Miss Yin,” the head bodyguard apologized, feeling the pressure on his neck intensify. He urged the other bodyguards, “Hurry!”
Yin Baobao’s face changed, and she turned to run into the villa. But she was quickly caught by the other bodyguards.
