Fang Zhao did not know what the police officers on the cruise ship were discussing about him. He was wondering if he would run into Director Roman at the auction later. How many competitors would he have? How could he resolve this?
Because of his habits from the Period of Destruction, Fang Zhao ate rather quickly. However, to adapt to his current lifestyle, he had slowed down considerably. Even so, he was still slightly faster than others. Fang Zhao could feel the gazes of those around him landing on him, but they did not have any ill intentions, so he did not mind.
After finishing his meal, Fang Zhao checked the time. There was still some time before the auction started, so he gave Zuo Yu a call to ask about the situation on his end.
Zuo Yu also did not have any news about Director Roman, but he had overheard people mentioning Director Roman in conversations, and they had all connected it to the auction. Therefore, at this auction, he was afraid that he would run into many people with the same goal.
After ending the call, Fang Zhao saw that it was about time. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard a gentle laugh. "Fang Zhao?"
Fang Zhao raised his head and saw a pretty blonde girl sitting in the seat opposite him. In her hand was a half-filled cup of sweet fruit tea.
The blonde girl stared at Fang Zhao. "I know you. That year in Huangzhou, I met you at Fiery Bird's annual gala. My friends and I are all your fans!"
Although she spoke very excitedly and her facial expression was slightly exaggerated, her gaze was rather calm.
When Fang Zhao had been in Yanzhou, he had seen many crazy fans. In comparison, he realized that this blonde girl's excitement, as if she had seen an idol, was just an act.
Actually, it was understandable. People who appeared at Teasandsea and could leisurely have fun on such a luxurious cruise ship where the rich congregated could not be of poor background. Even top-notch celebrities were not uncommon, so there was nothing to be excited about facing Fang Zhao.
Furthermore, from what she had said, Fang Zhao guessed that she was probably from Huangzhou. Besides what she had just said, people from Huangzhou also had an air of superiority, as well as the way they spoke and their accent.
"What are you doing here? Could it be... "The blonde girl leaned forward and approached Fang Zhao. Her dark blue eyes stared at Fang Zhao with interest." Are you also here for Director Roman? "
Just as he was about to reply, he heard the blonde girl say, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it. I understand, I understand. Out of 10 actors I met today, eight of them are here for Roman. The auction is about to start. I won't hold you up any longer. Give me an autograph as a souvenir. I have two friends who are also fans of yours, but it's a pity they went out shopping just now."
He said he wanted Fang Zhao to sign, but he didn't bring out any signature card or anything. He didn't even have a pen.
Fang Zhao looked at her in silence.
Perhaps realizing that there was nothing suitable for her to sign, the blonde girl did not feel awkward. Instead, she took off her jacket and threw it in front of Fang Zhao. "Just sign it."
The blonde girl was wearing a thin sleeveless sleeveless top, revealing a large portion of her stomach. She had a rebellious phase, a vibrant beauty that clashed with purity and sexiness.
The blonde girl twirled a cup of fruit tea in one hand and played with a strand of hair in the other. She stared at Fang Zhao with a mischievous smile, wanting to capture any trace of awkwardness or embarrassment on his face or any other indescribable emotion.
Fang Zhao glanced at her, raised his hand, and closed the window beside him. He got an attendant to bring over a pen suitable for signing clothes. He quickly signed his name and handed the clothes over.
"The night breeze is very chilly. The temperature is low."
The blonde girl paused, clearly dissatisfied with this sort of reply. She casually took the autographed clothes without looking at them. Instead, she said, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Fang Zhao thought for a bit and said amiably, "Have you finished your homework?"
"..."
These words were even colder than the sea breeze blowing in from the window.
The blonde girl seemed to be frozen. Her mischievous smile turned into astonishment. She had not expected Fang Zhao to suddenly ask this question.
She had been promoted from Secondary 5 to Secondary 6 this year. New Century Secondary 6 and 6 were equivalent to Senior 2 and Senior 3 in the Old Era. Based on the situation of most secondary schools in the New Era, this period of time had a lot of homework. Back in Huangzhou, the summer holidays had not ended yet, but school was about to start. The summer homework load was not small, and children from rich families were also under pressure. Furthermore, she really had not finished her summer homework!
Pfft!
Spoilsport!
The smile on the blonde girl's face disappeared. She pulled a long face and left in a huff with a "pfft."
Fang Zhao sighed. "I really don't know what children these days think about all day."
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly received a new call.
It was an unknown number, but there was a security verification symbol behind the number. Fang Zhao picked up.
"Fang Zhao? This is Teasandsea Cruise Ship Nine, Captain Eric. "
In the police office, Captain Eric had an ugly expression on his face. After Fang Zhao had called the police, he had also sensed that the person was suspicious through the surveillance footage. While maintaining surveillance, he had also sent people over, but he had not expected that the other party would disappear very quickly from the surveillance footage. The people he had sent over could not find the target either!
At the same time, Eric had received news that two crew members had been found unconscious and seriously injured in a warehouse. If they had not been carefully investigated, no one would have discovered them. If they had been any later, the two might not have been saved.
After confirming that a malicious incident had occurred, they continued to investigate the ship for abnormalities and increased their efforts to find the suspect while not causing panic among the tourists.
However, that person was as slippery as a loach. Relying on his size advantage, he weaved in and out of the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
Although many places on the ship had surveillance cameras installed, tycoons were concerned about privacy. Therefore, only a few public places and some commercial areas had surveillance cameras. Not every place was under their control.
What if they lost him?
What if they could not find the target?
Expand the search area and continue searching?
Search!
Definitely, they had to send more people to search everywhere. But at the same time, Eric made a prompt decision and contacted Fang Zhao.
People were different. Some people had dog noses, such as cemetery guards. No matter how well you disguised yourself, you might not be able to escape their eyes and unexplainable super intuition.
Since Fang Zhao had been the one to call the police and Fang Zhao had the eyesight of a cemetery guard, Eric would let Fang Zhao assist. Looking at Fang Zhao's file, he had been able to seize the opportunity of a one-year military service to become an officer at such a young age. Presumably, his ability was high. Even if the news was exaggerated, it would not be too outrageous.
That was why there was someone here. It would be a waste not to use him! Otherwise, there might be another unsolved case.
Why was it "another"?
Because this sort of thing was too common.
Furthermore, many tycoons on the cruise had their own bodyguards. They simply did not care about external matters. Whether others were dead or alive, whether they were missing or not, what did it have to do with them? As long as they had fun and enjoyed themselves to the fullest, they did not care about anything else. In any case, it was fine as long as your police team did not spoil my fun.
Therefore, even if Eric wanted to vigorously investigate, he would be obstructed. This was also another reason why he wanted to seek Fang Zhao's help. Save trouble! Efficiency! Sufficiently low-key!
After Eric briefly explained the situation to Fang Zhao, he expressed his request for Fang Zhao's assistance in finding the target.
Fang Zhao looked at the time. The auction was about to start.
Without much hesitation, Fang Zhao replied, "All right. What's the other party's route of movement? Where did you lose him? "
As he listened to the conversation transmitted through his earpiece, Fang Zhao quickly left the restaurant in the opposite direction of the auction.
In another corner of the restaurant, the blonde girl who had just asked for Fang Zhao's autograph met up with a few of her friends and discussed the matter of asking for Fang Zhao's autograph.
"My Zhao god is here too?"
"Where, where?!"
A pair of twin siblings craned their necks to look around.
When the blonde girl said that her friends were Fang Zhao's fans, she really was not lying. These two siblings were indeed Fang Zhao's fans, and they were the more infatuated type. When they heard that Fang Zhao was also on this cruise, they immediately got excited.
"He left. I just saw him leave in that direction in a hurry." The blonde girl pointed in the direction that Fang Zhao had left.
After saying that, the blonde girl felt that something was amiss. "That isn't the direction of the auction! Don't tell me he isn't going to look for Director Roman? Did I guess wrong? "
"Oh right, I heard that the chief director of 'Founding Era' is on this cruise and will appear at the auction," another person said. "Speaking of Fang Zhao... I remember that there was once a poll online for 'who should act as Fang Zhao'. I also voted for Fang Zhao, but that was just for fun. Honestly speaking, there is no way he will be chosen."
The two siblings, who had originally been disappointed when they heard that Fang Zhao had left, became unhappy when they heard their companion's words.
"Why can't my Zhao god be chosen?!"
"Yes, he definitely can!"
The two siblings were resolute in defending their idol.
They had started out as fans of the game, but after a series of events, they had become brainless fans of Fang Zhao. Their friends also knew about this.
When the topic of their idol came up, these two siblings' IQ, EQ, IQ, whatever it was, all went offline. To put it bluntly, they had been normal people just a moment ago, but they had suddenly become brainless.
Youngsters were easily impulsive, especially teenagers. When their emotions were stirred up, their logic was moving.
The few people who had just said that Fang Zhao would not be chosen raised their hands helplessly. "All right, let's not talk reason with brainless fans. After some time, you will know what the outcome will be. Facts speak louder than words. "
Actually, these two siblings were not really brainless. Of course, they understood the stringent requirements for such a super project. If it was a game, it would be fine, but if it was a film or TV series, Fang Zhao really had no chance. But in front of their little friends, they were just unwilling to admit it.
Don't be fooled by how confident they had been when they had argued just now. After they calmed down and regained their rationality, they were still frowning and sighing silently.
"Sigh, why isn't the 'Founding Era' project delayed for another 20 or 30 years? At that time, perhaps Fang Zhao's popularity and status would rise by quite a few notches and he would have some fighting power. Right now, it is indeed too early. "
But whether or not "Founding Era" would be rebooted, what the timing would be, and how the actors would be chosen were really not things that people like them could interfere with.
