After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 353 Fishing for Me? The Young One Gets the Old One
Just as she was about to dial the number, Jiang Hanying slammed her phone down on the table.

Why make a phone call when we're so close? We can just go out and ask in person after we finish eating.

Pei Yuan, who had just finished eating and hastily tidied up before being sent back to her room, was speechless.

Although she was pleased that Sister Hanying was so obedient and prepared to rest early, she still felt a little strange.

Not sure, check again.

After Pei Yuan returned to her room, Jiang Hanying quickly changed into clothes that were easy to move in, put on the hood of her coat, and left the room without a second's delay, heading towards the elevator.

Seeing that the elevator wouldn't reach this floor anytime soon, I simply went to the stairwell next door.

I hurriedly left the hotel, and in less than five minutes, I spotted my cheap host eating instant noodles in a corner of a convenience store near the hotel.

At the corner table by the window, the more secluded seat was empty, and Jiang Hanying sat down there.

As soon as I sat down, a cup of hot milk was pushed across from me. "It's freshly heated, be careful it's hot."

She picked it up without hesitation, opened the lid, and took a sip; it was sweet.

"Bought for me?"

"Ah."

"You're trying to hook me?"

Li Chengxiao was drinking the last mouthful of instant noodle soup when he heard this and almost choked. He managed to swallow it down, wiped his mouth, and then explained with a serious expression, "I can't get in. Besides, there are at least twenty cameras hiding in the corners filming around your hotel."

"So you lured me out?"

"Well, I was planning to call you after dinner."

That statement is fairly credible.

If I call her now, by the time she comes out of the hotel and arrives here, the temperature of this cup of hot milk in front of her will be just right.

It's really hot right now.

Jiang Hanying glanced at the empty instant noodle cup in front of her cheap owner and asked, "Is this all you're eating for dinner?"

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to eat before I came here, so I'm just grabbing a bite to eat."

"What happened?"

Li Chengxiao glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice and said, "Those two people who checked into the Lanwan Villa area a few days ago have been staying in the villa for several days without coming out until tonight. They even checked into the annex of your crew's hotel."

“The annex is where our crew’s behind-the-scenes staff stay.” Jiang Hanying said, suddenly having a flash of inspiration, she looked up and met the eyes of her cheap owner. “Our crew is officially starting filming tomorrow. We’ve been reading the script with the director and others for the past few days and haven’t had any contact with them. We’ll meet the crew tomorrow.”

But those two took advantage of this moment to sneak into the film crew behind the scenes.

So, is this a case of "the younger one gets beaten, then the older one comes along"?

"It's very likely, or it could be a test."

Jiang Hanying's face immediately showed a hint of annoyance. "I hate being tested."

This is never going to end.

Why can't we just have a straightforward, decisive fight to the death?
"How did you find out about their movements so quickly? Have you been monitoring them closely these past few days?"

"Well, sort of. Que Zhiyun, Que Zhishan's sister, originally wanted to remotely learn about the other party's movements by hacking into the villa's intranet, but she was detected and intercepted just as she was about to hack in. The other side also had an information expert, and Que Zhiyun said that the other party's level was higher than hers. Right now, she can only choose the clumsy method."

"They went straight from the villa to the hotel annex?"

“That’s right, I followed them all the way here and watched them move in with my own eyes.”

Jiang Hanying rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "It's not like you can just get into the behind-the-scenes of a film crew. You must need connections, right? And to be able to get in so quickly, the person who brought them in must have a lot of power."

Li Chengxiao nodded. "I'll check that. Remember to be careful on set."

Jiang Hanying nodded seriously: "Yes, I'll be careful not to kill them."

Li Chengxiao: "..." It felt like he had sent a reverse reminder!
In short, your own safety comes first.

"I value my life more than anyone else, okay? You think everyone else does..."

Jiang Hanying stopped abruptly, picked up her glass, finished the rest of her milk in one gulp, adjusted her hat, and stood up. "Is that all you wanted to tell me? Now that you've said it, I'm leaving."

Seeing Jiang Hanying's sudden cold face, Li Chengxiao was completely baffled and felt inexplicably guilty. "No, you can go back now and get some rest."

But since she was already there, and seeing the dazzling array of goods on the shelves around her, Jiang Hanying walked all the way to the cashier at the entrance, making sure she didn't leave empty-handed.

The baskets he was carrying were quickly filled to the brim.

When she finished shopping and was about to pay, she decisively pointed at the cheap owner who was throwing away trash across the street.

"He paid!"

This is the price for luring her here, hmph!
Li Chengxiao: "..."

Silently, I took out my phone and opened the payment code.

As soon as Jiang Hanying stepped out of the elevator with a bag of snacks in her hand, she came face to face with Pei Yuan, who was waiting in the corridor.

For a moment, they looked at each other in silence.

A few seconds passed quietly like that.

Jiang Hanying chose to play the victim and accuse first: "Why didn't you rest in your room and instead ran into the corridor?"

Pei Yuan: "I went back to my room to charge my phone, and then I remembered that the charger was in your room, so I came over to get it."

As it turned out, there was no one in the room at all.

The person who said she wanted to rest early probably slipped out quietly as soon as she returned to her room.

“Ahem,” Jiang Hanying raised the bag of snacks in her hand, “I didn’t eat enough for dinner, so I went out and bought some more food nearby.”

Pei Yuan glanced at the bag of snacks, nodded, and indicated that she believed her.

What else can you do if you don't believe me!

Jiang Hanying took out her room key and opened the door.

Pei Yuan picked up her charger, walked to the door, then turned back, "She probably won't be going out now, right?"

"No more, no more, I'm going to sleep now." Jiang Hanying said, tossing her a bag of freeze-dried strawberries. "Hush money."

Pei Yuan hugged the dried strawberries that had landed precisely in her arms, and closed the door, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Snapped!"

The villa was brightly lit late at night.

A delicate white porcelain cup was slammed heavily onto the ground.

The fragments immediately scattered in all directions.

One of the fragments flew up to half a person's height, its excessively sharp edge cutting directly into the back of Lin An's hand, leaving a five-centimeter-long gash.

The blood seeping from the wound quickly dripped onto the spotless floor.

"Who gave them the right to make decisions on their own? Didn't I say that this matter is very important to the Lord and cannot be allowed to go wrong in the slightest!"

Lin An let the blood drip from the wound on the back of his hand, and decisively lowered his head to admit his mistake, "This time I really didn't expect them to secretly set their sights on Jiang Hanying. I found out that Sixth Master had suffered a great loss at Jiang Hanying's hands before, almost to the point of escaping death. Second Master is protective of his own and arrogant, so this time he probably wants to go and help Sixth Master get revenge for the loss he suffered before."

Li Zhi frowned as she listened to this analysis, and couldn't help but sneer: "As expected, an insect is an insect. No matter how much it evolves, it can't become much smarter."

Even the Lord is only testing Jiang Hanying now, yet these two actually plan to confront her directly.

Could it be someone who used to deliver vegetables?

"I'll arrange for you to join the crew in a couple of days. Think about whether you want to work behind the scenes or play a small role. Your only task on set is to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get killed by Jiang Hanying before they can get their business done."
