After flying for two hours, the plane landed. Ye Lingchen was already in Capital City territory.
Xiao Feifei wore a pair of large black sunglasses. Her black hair draped over her shoulders. Her entire temperament suddenly became cold and aloof, like a completely different person from before.
The group moved like the wind. Without causing a commotion among the crowd, they boarded the Alfa nanny van that was prepared beforehand.
"Thank goodness we weren't recognized."
Sister Lin sat in the car and let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Feifei took off her sunglasses and playfully stuck out her tongue. She still had lingering fears.
Returning to Capital City this time, everything was carried out in secrecy. There were not many bodyguards at the airport. If they were recognized, it would be difficult for them to squeeze into the car when faced with crazy fans.
"Miss Xiao, long time no see. You're still as elegant and refined as ever." Someone was already waiting in the front passenger seat.
"Director Li!"
Xiao Feifei was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect Director Li to come personally. Feifei doesn't deserve it."
"Hahaha, it's my honor to be able to invite Xiao Wangfei to film my TV series." Director Li laughed. "Moreover, you must be tired from the long journey. It's only right to welcome you."
Xiao Feifei first became popular on the screen with the role of Wang Fei in a palace drama. Therefore, many people habitually addressed her as Xiao Wangfei.
Director Li was young, but he was extremely kind. Especially his laughter, it easily gave people a good impression.
After Director Li finished speaking, he looked at Ye Lingchen who was also in the car. He could not help but ask, "May I know who this is?"
"He's Ye Lingchen, my friend." Xiao Feifei introduced.
"Hello, I'm Li Tai." Director Li took a deep look at Ye Lingchen, then nodded.
In his memory, Xiao Feifei had never been so intimate with the opposite sex. Moreover, it seemed like they were traveling together.
"Hello."
Ye Lingchen returned the smile.
The director had filmed many famous TV series. However, Ye Lingchen was neither servile nor overbearing. His expression was calm.
Such an attitude made Li Tai look up to him even more.
"Oh, this is the details of the script. Due to confidentiality, I didn't send it to you beforehand." Li Tai took out the script.
Xiao Feifei expressed her understanding and started reading in the car.
The car drove steadily.
Ye Lingchen had already gotten over the sadness of leaving home and was quietly looking at the Capital's night view through the window.
At the beginning of the night, the traffic was like a tide, and the flashing lights reflected each other. On both sides of the street, all kinds of lights were constantly flashing. Some were near, some were far, some were bright, some were dark, some were visible, and some were hidden. The surrounding lights overlapped, outlining the different postures of the buildings, making one's imagination run wild.
Along the way, the flyovers were like rainbows, drawing beautiful arcs in the sky.
The tall buildings, the overlapping overpasses, and the fashionably dressed young men and women on the road were things that Ye Lingchen had never experienced in Rugao City.
Unwittingly, Ye Lingchen's eyes gradually blurred.
There must be a lot of interesting stories in this city.
If it were in the past, Ye Lingchen would not have dared to imagine living there. Now, however, he was destined to trample the city beneath his feet!
Right then, Ye Lingchen's eyes paused for a moment. He saw an old man with half a head of white hair swaying left and right as if he was drunk. He slowly collapsed in front of a black car.
With this fall, the originally noisy road quietened down.
Soon, three people walked out of the black car. It was a man, a woman, and a little girl around five or six years old. It seemed like a family of three.
The man and the woman had despair and helplessness on their faces. They surrounded the old man and complained bitterly.
What kind of trick was that?
Ye Lingchen looked at the old man who could not get up from the ground. He was completely stunned.
"That's a scam!"
Sister Lin looked at Ye Lingchen's dumbfounded expression and explained.
"That old man is obviously trying to scam people. It'll be fine if that car has a dashcam. If it doesn't, I'm afraid we'll have to spend a lot of money."
"I clearly saw the old man walk over by himself. Do you still want that car to be responsible?" Ye Lingchen could not understand the logic.
"What can we do? He insisted that it was a car accident. What do you have to say?" Sister Lin was obviously used to it. "Even if the scam doesn't work, he won't be hurt at all. This kind of business without any capital is a sure win."
Not long after, a group of people gathered there. They discussed while watching the commotion, but no one stepped forward.
"We can't do anything about this. Let's hurry back to the hotel and rest." Li Tai sighed and ordered the driver to continue driving.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Lingchen said directly. Without another word, he turned around and got out of the car.
Sister Lin glared at him. "What are you doing? Stop right there! You mustn't help him up! "
Ye Lingchen turned a deaf ear to her and walked over in big strides.
Sister Lin was furious. She smiled apologetically at Li Tai.
"Sister Lin, why don't we watch what Lingchen is going to do in the car?" Xiao Feifei rolled down the window and looked at Ye Lingchen curiously.
"He's just a country bumpkin who just entered the city. What can he do? Be careful not to get himself into trouble! "Sister Lin said angrily, but her eyes were fixed on Ye Lingchen.
Li Tai could clearly feel Sister Lin and Xiao Feifei's unusual attitude toward Ye Lingchen. His gaze also fell on Ye Lingchen, sizing him up.
At that moment, the family of three was on the verge of tears.
"Old man, we're actually a poor family. We bought this car with a loan. If you scam us, I'm afraid our family of three won't be able to survive. Please have mercy and let us go," the man said.
"Old man, we still have a child to take care of. We really can't afford it." The woman's face was filled with sorrow and helplessness. She looked at the passersby for help and was on the verge of tears.
"Which one of you has a car recorder that can capture the scene just now? It's not easy for this family of three. We have to help!" another passerby said, wanting to help.
Unfortunately.
The old man was obviously an expert. He purposely picked a blind spot at the corner, making it difficult for other cars' car recorders to capture the scene.
"Old man, we only have a thousand dollars. Why don't you just make do with it and let us go?" The man took a thousand dollars from the car and frowned.
"Ouch, my waist is broken. I won't be able to get up without two to three hundred thousand!" The old man twitched on the ground, panting heavily.
"Old man …"
"Ouch, my head hurts too. Don't tell me my head is bleeding. That's another two to three hundred thousand!"
The old man threw a tantrum on the ground.
The little girl of the family of three cried out in fear when she saw her parents in pain.
Everyone shook their heads, sighed, and pointed at them.
Most of them took out their phones to record it and post it on their WeChat Moments.
"Make way. Everyone make way!"
Right at that moment, the crowd was separated by a young man.
The young man was wearing a hat and had both hands in his pockets. He walked to the scene of the accident carelessly.
He was wearing a hoodie that covered most of his face.
"Old man, can you still get up?" Ye Lingchen squatted down and asked the old man.
"I can't. My whole body hurts! I can't get up, "the old man cried.
"I can't get up!"
Ye Lingchen's eyes lit up. Then, he picked up the phone beside the old man, turned around, and ran!
The old man was speechless.
"Eh? Sigh! Don't go! " The old man was shocked. With a grunt, he crawled faster than anyone else and chased after Ye Lingchen. "Thief, catch the thief! Grab the phone! "
The two figures quickly went further and further away under the crowd's gaze …
Until the two of them left, the crowd was still in a daze. They looked at each other.
The script … was off!
The family of three looked at each other. They dared not delay any longer. They turned around and got into the car, fleeing the scene.
"What … What's going on?" Sister Lin was stunned.
Pfft!
Xiao Feifei, on the other hand, held her stomach and started laughing without a care for her image.
Five minutes later, Ye Lingchen rushed back and got into the car.
"That old man ran really fast. He had the nerve to say that his bones were broken. Liar!" Ye Lingchen closed the car door and muttered to himself.
"What about the phone?" Sister Lin asked.
"I threw it to him." Ye Lingchen waved his hand. "What use do I have for his phone?"
"Hahaha, little brother, you're amazing!" Li Tai laughed heartily and gave Ye Lingchen a thumbs up. He suddenly asked, "I wonder where you're working?"
"I'm still a student. I'll be studying at Capital University after the summer break," Ye Lingchen said.
"Capital University?" Li Tai glanced at Ye Lingchen again. "Heroes come from the young!"
Sister Lin looked at Ye Lingchen in shock. She remembered that Ye Lingchen had handed in his script a long time ago. That was just too crazy!
However, she still pouted and snorted, "Director Li, don't you praise him anymore. Someone's tail is about to reach the sky!"
"Hehe, little brother, are you interested in becoming an actor?" Li Tai was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
Xiao Feifei and Sister Lin were slightly shocked. They began to give Ye Lingchen a frantic look.
Li Tai was a well-known director in the country. He was especially good at filming ancient martial arts dramas. He was interested in talent!
Ye Lingchen was likely to rise to the top in a single bound!
"Acting?" Ye Lingchen was stunned. He then shook his head. "I'm not acting!"
"You're out of your mind!" Sister Lin almost blurted out. "Do you know how many people dream of getting such an opportunity?"
"I'm not interested in other people's dreams," Ye Lingchen replied indifferently. "I don't like to show my face in public."
Acting meant living in the limelight. With the Prodigy System, he could do a lot of things. If he lost his freedom because of acting, he would not do it.
Sister Lin secretly scolded him for being an idiot. She was so angry that she could not speak.
The car fell into silence again.
Ten minutes later, the nanny car drove into a park. There were pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. The surroundings were covered with grass.
It was completely different from the bright lights and roaring cars outside. Separated by a wall, it was like two different worlds.
"This is the Park Hotel. The hotel is built in the park. It won't be disturbed by outsiders," Li Tai explained while asking someone to help pack the luggage.
"I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning." After putting everything away, Li Tai bade farewell and left.
