"After she left, the box containing the dance costumes disappeared."
With these two sentences, the surrounding noise gradually quieted down.
The surrounding people looked over with scrutinizing gazes.
Especially the few dancers who were about to go on stage. Their eyes turned cold.
This performance was very important to them. They wanted to be noticed by the director and producer so that they could enter the entertainment industry.
After all, they were just trainees in the company. They were the most ordinary trainees and did not even have the right to participate in the talent show.
Now that the dance costumes were gone, they could not go on stage. How could they attract the attention of the industry?
Ying Zijin was wearing a black baseball cap. The brim of the cap was pulled down, covering her eyebrows and eyes, only revealing the bridge of her nose and lips.
It was night time and the lights were off. The girl's face was not clear and only her outline could be seen.
She was hazy, but she looked even clearer.
The team leader also looked over. "So, she was the one who took it?"
"The surveillance footage did not show her." The staff member who was watching the footage on the computer said, "But she was the last one to leave. She is not part of the team."
If she was not a staff member and not a performer, how did she get backstage?
The team leader frowned and quickly stepped forward to block the girl's path. "Miss, please come backstage with us."
He raised his hand and was about to grab her arm.
But as soon as he reached out, he was stopped by another hand.
The man's fingers were long and slender. His fingertips were white and flawless.
It was a light movement, but there was an inexplicable fierceness in it.
It was cold and murderous.
The team leader was stunned and raised his head.
Now that he was closer, he was shocked by the man's appearance.
Hengdian Film City was more than 300 kilometers away from Hu City. It was in a small city.
Although the people here knew about the four richest families in Hu City, they had never seen them in person. Naturally, they did not recognize Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen raised his chin and smiled. He said calmly, "Go and check the surveillance footage. It is complete."
The team leader was stunned again and frowned.
Logically speaking, there was no need for them to take the dance costumes.
Although the dance costumes were exquisite, they were not luxurious.
The team leader had seen many people in Hengdian Film City. He could tell at a glance that the men and women were wearing custom-made clothes.
Was it necessary to make things difficult for a few dancers?
He took out his walkie-talkie and called a technician over.
Ying Zijin looked up. "Well, I can —"
"No need." Fu Yunshen pulled down the brim of her hat. "It's none of your business. Why are you wasting time?"
He wasn't in the entertainment industry, but he had heard Nie Chao talk about some of the tricks in the entertainment industry.
It was quite filthy.
Now, it had reached the point where even ordinary people were not spared.
Ying Zijin didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
This kind of small matter happened very recently. With a glance, she already understood the cause and effect.
Sometimes, when something melodramatic happened to her, it was … not as interesting as watching it on his own.
On the other side, the technicians rushed over and began to check the surveillance footage copied from the surveillance room.
A few minutes later, he raised his head. "Team Leader, this surveillance footage has indeed been edited. There's a section missing in the middle."
The team leader's expression changed. "How long will it take to recover?"
"It's a bit troublesome." The technician was in a difficult position. "I need an hour."
"No." The lead dancer was very anxious. "We have ten minutes before we have to go on stage."
Even if they wanted to customize the dance costume now, it would be too late.
"Team Leader!" On the other side, a few staff members rushed over. "Found it. The dance costume has been found. I don't know who threw it into the gap on the stone bridge."
When she heard this, Ying Zijin deleted the text and turned off her phone. "Let's go."
Seeing the two of them leave just like that, one of the staff members was very unhappy. "Team Leader, are we letting them leave just like that?"
"Anyway, the dance costume has been found. There's no evidence that they did it. Why should we stop them?" The team leader shook his head. "I don't know where this rich young master came from. It's good enough that he didn't make a fuss about it. How dare he cause trouble?"
The staff member was stunned.
"Continue to restore the surveillance footage," the team leader ordered. "Someone is targeting this performance. We have to find out."
**
On the second floor of the small building.
Ying Zijin walked out of the bathroom with a towel in one hand and her phone in the other. She logged into the NOK forum.
The NOK forum actually only had a computer version of the login program. She felt that carrying a computer around every day was too troublesome, so she created a mobile version.
As soon as she logged in, her private inbox began to ring like crazy.
Ying Zijin turned off the sound and deleted all the messages from strangers in her inbox without looking at them.
Ever since she posted the reward on the forum, the people who sent her private messages had not stopped.
There were even a bunch of friend requests. There were even administrators.
However, she opened this account to understand the current situation on Earth. Secondly, she wanted to read gossip for her retirement.
There were more rewards in the hidden section than on the normal front page. However, the big shots would still post them for fun.
For example, yesterday, someone was talking about a certain senior officer in IBI who was chased out of the house by his wife with a stick. He had no choice but to seek shelter from his subordinates.
IBI, which was feared by the outside world, was just a topic of discussion in NOK.
This was normal. After all, there were times when IBI couldn't find anyone and IIA couldn't find any information. They could only post here for help.
After Ying Zijin deleted the private messages, she saw a message from her friend.
[Godly Doctor! Godly Doctor! After using the medicine you sent, the scars on my body have finally healed. Growth Points are useless to me. I think you're at a disadvantage. See what you're lacking. I'll send you something?]
Ying Zijin remembered that this was the reward she accepted before entering the hidden section. She casually replied with four words.
[No need. I'm testing the medicine.]
Just as she replied to this message, a red dot appeared on her friends list.
[Ding, @ Please Take a Medicine. Please add you as a friend. Do you accept?]
[No/Yes]
Ying Zijin looked at the nickname and narrowed her eyes.
After she entered the hidden section of the NOK forum, she had already browsed through all the information.
Of course, it was impossible that she didn't see the reward at the top. That was why she used her new account to retire.
She now knew that the person who wanted to kill Fu Yunshen was a hunter on the NOK list.
Hunter was just a general term. There were many categories under it.
Sharpshooters, hypnotists, assassins, disguisers, poison masters, etc.
There was a ranking for each category.
This ID, "Please Take a Medicine", was the poison master ranked third on the poison master list. It was said that he went to a beach to sell sunscreen.
But it had nothing to do with her.
Ying Zijin moved her finger and clicked "No".
Then, she browsed through today's gossip and went offline.
**
The next day.
Ying Zijin slept until ten o 'clock before waking up.
Fu Yunshen went out early in the morning and left her a WeChat message.
He told her to just walk around before he came back.
Nie Chao, who didn't receive any instructions, was frustrated.
He was with the big boss. He was the weak one. He should be the one being protected, right?
Ying Zijin opened the map and searched. She wanted to go to a teahouse for snacks.
Nie Chao hurriedly followed.
Even if it was for his own safety, he had to follow the big boss closely.
The teahouse was also in Hengdian Film City. This street was modeled after the Tang Dynasty. There were people playing the Erhu downstairs.
"Big boss, what do you think Seventh Young Master is thinking?" Nie Chao sighed. "I think he really adores you. He's afraid that you'll melt."
"Your big brother adores you too."
"…"
Nie Chao almost died.
His big brother was going to beat him until he melted.
As the two of them were eating, footsteps sounded. It was the sound of high heels.
It attracted the attention of the other customers in the teahouse.
It was a woman with red lips and black hair. She was wearing a black suit and dress. She was obviously a strong woman in the business world.
The receptionist of the teahouse hurried over. "Madam Gao."
The woman waved her hand and walked to a table by the window.
She bent down and knocked on the table. She said in a cold and condescending tone, "Miss Ying, right? May I ask why you took away our employee's dance costume? "
Nie Chao had gone out for a drink yesterday and did not know what had happened. He was confused.
Ying Zijin did not reply. She was looking at her phone.
The woman frowned instinctively. She did not ask and said directly, "I don't know why you did this, but Hengdian is not a place for you to behave atrociously. Please leave."
With that, she waved at the receptionist. "Send them out."
The receptionist was stunned but still went forward.
This Madam Gao was a VIP of the teahouse and had invested a lot. She was not someone they could offend.
Ying Zijin did not move. Her head was still lowered.
The woman frowned and was displeased. "Miss Ying, please have some manners."
"Sorry." Ying Zijin slowly raised her head and said in a cold and disdainful tone, "Ten seconds ago, I bought this place."
