Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 168 Undercover Reporter

Seeing that Xu Shengzhen wasn't coming in, Li Sui didn't insist.

When I got home, I saw Ren Yunsheng.

Ren Yunsheng said to him, "This is the paparazzi you met in Kaiyang when you came back from Xicheng Airport."

"Paparazzi? What are paparazzi doing here?" Li Sui suddenly remembered something: "Could Kaiyang's desire to become a paparazzi be related to him?"

Ren Yunsheng narrowed his eyes: "Kaiyang wants to be a paparazzi?"

Li Sui hadn't mentioned this before.

"Ah...then I told him that being a paparazzi isn't good, but he just likes being one. Later I tried to persuade him to become a reporter. What's wrong with this kid? Why does he want to be a paparazzi in the modern world?"

Ren Yunsheng thought for a moment: "It seems to really be related to this paparazzi. I'll go check it out."

Li Sui glanced at him: "By the way, didn't Sister Lihua come back with us yesterday? Where is she?"

"Taking a vacation!" Ren Yunsheng was full of resentment: "She came back from her business trip and actually chose to take two days off. Do you think she's even human?"

As it turned out, Li Sui was completely unable to empathize, and she even sighed, "I just can't understand you office workers at all."

Ren Yunsheng: "..."

He's about to break down.

***
Kaiyang met Xu Sheng when he returned from class in the afternoon.

Seeing him squatting by the roadside, he said apologetically, "I got caught using my phone during class. I was afraid of getting scolded, so I didn't reply to your message. Sorry."

Xu Sheng: "It's nothing, bro." He was just a little confused: "Why are your teachers so strict in class?"

"It's not that the teacher is strict, it's that the cult leader—well, a relative of mine—is stricter."

Xu Sheng suddenly realized: "A relative? I did see your relative when I arrived this afternoon. She was a girl with a bob haircut?"

Kaiyang didn't know what a bob haircut was, and was just a little surprised: "Short hair? Oh, you've seen her? She is indeed my relative."

He waved, "Come on, come into the residential area with me."

Xu Sheng then followed Kaiyang into the residential area.

When Tian Shu and the others saw Kai Yang with a strange man, they started cricketing.

Tianji: "Where did Kaiyang meet his friends?"

Tianxuan: "I've never seen you before. Why are you dressed so suspiciously?"

Tian Shu: "Doesn't seem like a good person..."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Tian Shu.

How dare you criticize others?
Kaiyang had sharp ears and could hear what they were saying, but Xusheng, of course, couldn't hear them.

After registering his ID card and entering the community, Xu Sheng remarked with some emotion, "Your community is so strictly managed."

It's rare to see such strict management in an old residential community; residents are required to bring their ID cards in to register.

He spent the whole afternoon there and discovered that delivery drivers weren't allowed to enter the residential compound; all the food was left at the entrance and delivered by the property management.

This also shows that their property management is quite responsible; if it were a typical property management company, they would have been impatient with these trivial matters long ago.

Kaiyang: "Yes, our community is quite strictly managed."

The main reason is that there are quite a few Zhuge Liang and Feng Xiao.

Kaiyang led Xu Sheng to his floor and said, "Have you thought about what I said before?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it now."

Xu Sheng was carrying a large bag filled with his tools: "After I returned to Yan City, guess what? Luckily I didn't go back. I called my friend, and he said my house had been broken into."

The house was ransacked, and he didn't even dare to call the police. Terrified, he immediately bought a ticket to Xiacheng after getting his belongings and promptly discussed it with Kaiyang.

Kaiyang suggested that he come to the Moon Community to hide for a while, and teach him about the paparazzi industry or photography.

Xu Sheng was still a little worried, but then he thought that Kaiyang had saved him after all, and there was a bit of mystery behind him. If he could really hide for a while, it would be a good thing.

Kaiyang then asked him, "Who did it?"

Xu Sheng was still shaken: "It's probably them. Who else could they be, to be able to chase me all the way to Xicheng? But my phone has been quiet these past two days. I wonder if it's because of what happened in Xicheng."

Because those two were dealt with, and the airport security didn't bother him, he returned to Yan City unharmed.

Perhaps because of this, the other party was a little confused about the situation for a moment.

Xu Sheng is just a paparazzo with no background. He works in a small studio, but if something really happens, everyone will run for their lives.

The other party only kept causing trouble for Xu Sheng because they didn't want to create any further complications.

"Are you just going to hide like this?" Kaiyang looked at Xu Sheng, disapproving of his approach: "If you're worried, you might as well just kill them."

"What do you mean by 'die'? I don't have that kind of power."

Xu Sheng looked left and right. This was just an ordinary neighborhood, full of elderly people with children and middle-aged men and women.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

With such strict management, it's impossible for an ordinary person to get in, right?

Xu Sheng adjusted his bag. "I'll hide here for a while. I'll leave once things calm down. Don't worry, brother. I'll pay for living expenses and rent. I won't stay here for nothing. I won't charge you tuition for teaching you photography."

How can it work?

Kaiyang wants to stir things up.

Back home, Kaiyang opened the door.

"I'm currently living with my brother, but there's a spare bedroom available. You can move in there. My brother has a good temper, so he won't say anything."

Yuheng probably saw that Kaiyang had brought friends and didn't go straight home.

At that time, the alien group bought three-bedroom, one-living-room houses, which were different from the layouts of Li Sui's houses.

Xu Sheng seemed quite satisfied.

Xu Sheng sat down to take care of the parents he had brought, while Kaiyang sat to the side and suddenly asked, "Is there a big difference between a reporter and a paparazzi?"

"Large, but not too large, it depends on the situation."

Xu Sheng put down his bag and said to him, "We also take the press card exam; you need it to interview others. It's like a work certificate, but we follow a different path. The regular press can interview celebrities face-to-face, and their reports are reviewed."

"We take photos secretly, which isn't exactly legal, but we don't usually get taken too seriously. That's just how the industry is. Without us paparazzi, how would we generate big news? Some celebrities even tacitly agree to be photographed by us, because that's how we get traffic. Of course, that's not the point. What's really big is taking photos that are detrimental to the celebrities."

Kaiyang said, "You said it was very dangerous, so what did you film this time?"

"Strictly speaking, the person I photographed was not a celebrity, but an entrepreneur, so I don't dare to expose it, nor do I have the guts to threaten them."

Xu Sheng looked troubled: "I just didn't expect to be caught so quickly. I've never experienced anything like this before."

Kaiyang's mind was clearly not on this: "So, apart from this matter, your industry isn't that dangerous?"

"Danger? Filming celebrities is usually fine." He looked at Kaiyang, somewhat puzzled: "Why are you worrying about this?"

Kaiyang was somewhat disappointed: "It wasn't very exciting after all."

"..."

Xu Sheng was speechless for a long time before he said, "There are exciting and dangerous ones. There's a type of reporter who goes undercover to infiltrate criminal groups or people with problems to gather evidence and report it. But these conscientious reporters are becoming increasingly rare these days."

"If you want something even more exciting, there are war correspondents who go directly to the battlefields to report the news. Wouldn't you say that's exciting?"
