The gazes of several dozen people shifted in the direction Luo Nan pointed. In the end, they focused on a spot at the back of the crowd. But due to the angle of their line of sight, they were unable to figure out who Luo Nan was pointing at. There were three or four people in that area.
There were backstage staff wearing work jackets. There were cameramen holding equipment. There were office women wearing white shirts. There were also strong bodyguards.
They suddenly became the focal point of their gazes. Different yet complex expressions appeared on their faces. Stiff, doubtful, lifeless … … and so on.
Zhang Yingying felt a bit dizzy. She took advantage of Hai Jing's silence to move closer to Luo Nan and whispered, "Hold on. Which one are you pointing at? Are you sure? Their age, body shape, appearance, and even their gender don't match … … Also, none of them are ability users! "
Luo Nan didn't respond to this topic. He continued to firmly point forward, waiting for Hai Jing's reply.
The problem was that Hai Jing was stupefied. He really didn't understand which one Luo Nan was pointing at. His gaze swept across the faces of the candidates in that area. All he saw was stiffness and indifference. How could there be any kindness to speak of?
In the end, Hai Jing's thoughts were separated from Luo Nan's by a layer. Zhang Yingying's reaction was much faster. She didn't understand why Luo Nan was so determined that the target was among these people. But since the BOSS had already determined the direction, she needed to create the best conditions as a subordinate.
"Mr. Hai Jing, is it this troublesome to recognize someone? Don't you recognize them? "
"This … …" There were several hundred people backstage. How could he recognize all of them? It was already pretty good if he could recognize a few familiar faces.
"I don't recognize them. It's strange if I don't recognize them. We're all in the same line. How could I not recognize them? Could it be that a suspicious person has mixed in? "
Zhang Yingying just needed a reason. Who cared if it was full of holes? She snapped her fingers, displaying a certain attitude. She turned to face the backstage assistant director with a smile. "The backstage management of the New Year's Eve party should be very strict. This Director Mao … … "
"Director's assistant." The correction this time was a typical low profile.
"Okay, Assistant Mao. Your various positions, groups, and divisions of labor should be very detailed. For example, the prop team, makeup team, and so on. Do you want everyone to identify them?"
"Uh … …"
Assistant Mao was not a fool. Facing Zhang Yingying's confident attitude, he already understood that this was not some random drug search operation, but a more specific goal. Since it had nothing to do with him, he was more than happy to cooperate.
He turned around and quickly recognized his subordinate. "That's the one in the jacket. He's Little Zhou from the guidance team. I know him. As for the cameraman … "
With him taking the lead, there were many people here. Soon, someone said, "That's Master Lu from Feiling Entertainment."
The celebrity's assistant also said in a low voice, "That tall man is our studio's bodyguard, his surname is Zhao."
In just three to five seconds, three of the four people had been claimed. As for the remaining woman in the white shirt, no one said anything for her.
At this moment, many people exchanged glances. "Who is she?"
"Do you know her?"
"Which department?"
"Could it be …"
The scene that had been filled with voices suddenly cooled down, and the expressions of the surrounding people began to change again. Their gazes also focused on that person.
The woman in the white shirt appeared to be middle-aged. Her skin was a bit rough, her lips were thin, and her eyes were thin. She had a head full of short hair. She couldn't be considered good-looking, but she had a very capable appearance.
Her neat white shirt was really too warm. At first glance, it wouldn't be a problem to say that she was a backstage staff, an assistant, and the like. It would also be fine to say that she was a member of the interview team.
In reality, she wasn't on either side.
Zhang Yingying took a deep breath and retreated to Luo Nan's side. "Eliminate the impossible. What's left is the answer … … But this is a woman!"
"That's right."
"But the one we're looking for is a skinny, wild young man with dark skin."
"Yeah. I also want to know what's going on."
Luo Nan lowered his hand after the preliminary screening ended, but his gaze became even more direct. Under his gaze, the woman in the white shirt had a gloomy expression. She was strangely calm.
Luo Nan let out a breath. "Maybe I'm looking for the wrong person, but this person's mood is the most worthy of suspicion."
It wasn't just Luo Nan. The woman in the white shirt's treacherous calm state made a group of people who worked hard in the entertainment circle fearful.
Most people could see that there was a problem. There was no need for a reminder. The people who were nearby all retreated back one by one. Some people bumped into the prop team behind them, who were transferring the equipment. And the prop team blocked the path of the people behind them, causing the blockage to become even more serious.
From Luo Nan's angle, he couldn't see the members of the Mountain Creek Band just by relying on his eyes.
"Okay. Maybe she isn't the target, but she's certainly a suspect." Zhang Yingying's attitude proved that the group had already reached a consensus.
Qin Yikun and Gao De didn't go forward after discovering the suspect. Instead, they retreated. Their mission was to make Luo Nan's personal safety their number one priority.
All of this was meaningless to Luo Nan. He stared at the target and restarted the examination. He abandoned the highest priority criteria of being an ability user and male. He just started with the most basic structure of the body and soul. He started with the subtle mysteries of the root receptacle, root nature, and root trigger. He scanned the woman in the white shirt in front of him from head to toe.
Zhang Yingying spoke in his place. She took the initiative to make contact with the target. "Okay. Now is the time for questioning. This lady, who are you? "
The expression of the woman in the white shirt was cold and solemn. She didn't look like she was going to cooperate. But she still opened her mouth a few seconds later. "As you can see, I'm a non-staff member who entered backstage."
"You're quite frank." Zhang Yingying was a bit surprised.
"It's not difficult to find ten or twenty people like me backstage." The corner of the woman in the white shirt's lips slightly twisted. She didn't conceal her nasty mood at all. "You guys caught me hiding drugs, but I don't have anything on me. So your questions are completely unreasonable."
Zhang Yingying didn't care about this at all. She asked again, "Your identity? What's your name? "
The woman in the white shirt spoke to herself. "If you guys are public law enforcement personnel, I hope that a lawyer will appear. If you guys aren't, then I have no obligation to answer."
Bamboo Pole had been observing from the side for a long time. His gaze swept across the large empty space around the woman in the white shirt and the surrounding flow of people. He walked forward and whispered to Luo Nan. "Boss, look at this place … …"
Luo Nan understood. "The examination is over. Everyone else can leave except for this person."
Assistant Mao had been waiting for these words for a long time, but he was a bit dizzy when he heard them. He subconsciously said, "Don't mess around too much … …"
Before Assistant Mao could finish speaking, Gaud expressionlessly stepped forward to direct the flow of people through the corridor. Even so, ninety-nine percent of Luo Nan's energy, including himself, was concentrated on the woman in the white shirt. They were to prevent her from suddenly launching an attack.
The woman in the white shirt didn't move at all. She was simply like an outsider, watching everything with indifference.
It was too strange.
From front to back, from left to right, this person seemed to be a normal middle-aged woman without any special characteristics of an ability user. But just looking at her attitude made people vigilant.
The flow of people rushed past. Celebrities, executives, and staff members were all in a hurry. The prop car rumbled past, and behind them was the Mountain Stream Band.
"Old Hai?"
"Luo Nan?"
They were separated by the crowd and the prop car. They didn't understand the situation in front of them at all. They walked over with great difficulty and saw familiar faces. Everyone greeted them, but practically no one responded to Luo Nan.
If it was possible, Luo Nan didn't want Mo Ya and the others to pass through here. But now wasn't the time for selfish calculations. He didn't say a word. He let every member of the Mountain Stream Band display their truest selves.
Actually, this was the most dangerous moment, but it was also the most likely moment to confirm the true nature of the situation. As long as the opponent made a move …...
The woman in the white shirt still didn't respond. Her body and soul structure were in the category of a normal person. She posed no threat at all.
The atmosphere in the hallway was so serious that a quick-witted person like Mo Ya had already sensed that something was wrong. And Cat Eyes, who had always been by her side, had long since switched positions. When she passed by, she just happened to be in between Mo Ya and the woman in the white shirt. She blocked any possible route of attack, and at the same time, she grabbed Mo Ya's arm with one hand and quickly passed.
Luo Nan nodded towards Cat Eyes. He didn't see Rui Wen's figure, but he knew that the little girl was nearby. She would immediately make a move if something unforeseen happened.
This made Luo Nan feel more at ease.
And at this time, his mind stirred. Aside from the woman in the white shirt who had already become the focus of attention, he divided a strand of his attention to another sensitive person.
Just like before, this person's hair hung down to cover half of her face. She tried to quickly pass through, but Luo Nan suddenly extended his hand and pulled her over.
"What are you doing!"
A cry of alarm came from the hallway. Shui Yi, who was being pulled, instinctively flung her hands and struggled, but she was unable to break free from Luo Nan's iron clamp-like grip.
Compared to when she was at the clubhouse, Shui Yi was wearing a black overcoat that covered her face. It more or less hid some of the emotions on her face, giving her the air of a celebrity. But people could still see that her face was terrifyingly pale. Even though she was wearing heavy makeup, even though she was struggling fiercely, not a bit of blood could be seen on her face.
The incident happened so suddenly that even Zhang Yingying and Bamboo Pole didn't expect Luo Nan to reach out and grab Shui Yi. The other members of the Mountain Stream Band all looked back in shock. They stopped one after another.
The focus of the incident seemed to have shifted over.
Luo Nan locked most of his attention onto the woman in the white shirt. He didn't even look at the woman struggling in fear in his hand. He just spoke in a calm voice:
"Sister Shui Yi. You need to help me out."
"I don't want to. Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Shui Yi wasn't cooperative at all. She was terrified. She screamed hoarsely, so much so that Assistant Mao's group, who had retreated quite a distance away, looked back with curiosity.
