The sweetest in the entertainment industry

The autumn scenery of Dianshan Lake is beautiful.

Gu Lanxi took many beautiful photos with Tuantuan. To make the photos even better, she made a big balloon flower for her. Tuantuan hugged it for the photos, but she wasn't even as tall as the balloon. She grinned and showed a few cute little teeth, which made Gu Lanxi laugh.

As dawn broke, she drove with her child to a nearby hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, seeing that the sun wasn't too strong, she applied sunscreen to both of them and then strolled along the lake with her child, intending to see if she could capture any interesting water birds.

Wild ducks, egrets, and night herons are very common here, and because of their large size, they are easy for children to observe.

After walking for a short while, they saw a group of people in the distance carrying a small gold ingot support flag, holding snakeskin bags, and making a clicking sound with fire tongs in mid-air, laughing and joking as they approached.

As the sun slowly rose, the temperature increased. Tuantuan felt so hot that she took off her trench coat, but she couldn't bear to part with her beautiful cape, so she put it back on.

The wind was strong by the lake. The large hood of the cloak billowed in the wind, and Tuantuan was reaching out her chubby hands to press it down when she saw her mother suddenly stop, look up at her with a puzzled expression:
"Mother?"

Gu Lanxi went to bed early last night and got up early this morning. When she arrived at the destination, she kept a close eye on the child the whole time and didn't even glance at her phone. She's not someone who likes to surf the internet, so she didn't hear any news today.

Seeing this group of people, I just assumed she had run into a fan group activity.

Although she rarely encountered fan gatherings, it wasn't entirely unprecedented, so she didn't think much of it at all.

Most fans were just joining in the fun, looking for an excuse to hang out with their fellow fans, just like they often make excuses to meet up for meals. They never expected to actually run into each other on the street.

All thirteen people held their breath, their faces flushed with excitement!

Xiao Yuanbao was the most doting of the three fans. Afraid of offending her, everyone quietly stood to the side of the road, made way for her, and just watched her quietly as the two of them passed.

Everyone was very considerate. Even the boldest one only clenched his fist, his face flushed, and said in a low voice, "Good morning, Tuantuan!"

Gu Lanxi, who always responded better to gentle persuasion than force, stopped helplessly upon seeing this.

"Since we've already run into each other, do you want an autograph? But let's make this clear first, since Tuantuan is here today, we won't be taking any photos, and please don't tell anyone that we're here, okay?"

The little gold coins readily agreed.

Although everyone was disappointed, they got to see the child in person. The child even obediently greeted everyone as uncle, aunt, brother, and sister, which made them all swoon. It was just a photo, and for fans like them who like to meet in person, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

When Gu Lanxi was signing autographs, she casually asked about team building activities. Because her tone was so intimate, the fans basically answered her directly.

Gu Lanxi quickly learned about the video Lu Nanting posted last night.

“We saw you and Tuantuan discussing coming out to watch the sunrise today. We also thought we'd try our luck. If we do see it, it's fate. If we don't, we'll pick up trash along the lake and do charity work. That way, our trip won't be in vain.”

Gu Lanxi remembered exactly what was said last night.

It's surprising that someone would try something with such a low probability.

It has to be said that even after many years in the industry, the level of fanaticism among her fans still occasionally pushes the limits of her understanding!

Knowing that there were fans everywhere by the lake and that many people knew about the incident online, Gu Lanxi quickly said goodbye to everyone and pushed her child to the car.

Unexpectedly, in less than two miles, she encountered two more groups of fans.

She wanted to say hello and run away, but everyone obediently stood by the roadside and watched them go. Considering that the car was only a little bit ahead, Gu Lanxi stopped.

Signatures are still required, but photos are not taken.

Unexpectedly, this delay attracted stalkers and paparazzi who came running after them.

Seeing this, the fans stopped bothering her for autographs. They not only urged the two of them to get on the bus as soon as possible, but also formed a human wall to block the group of people who were chasing after them.

As the two sides drew closer, Gu Lanxi immediately ran towards the parking lot.

In order to take a shortcut, she decisively abandoned everything except her most valuable camera, her personal valuables, her trolley, and the items on it.

She was carrying a child, and even though she was physically strong, she couldn't compare to the illegitimate child who was young, strong, and unburdened. Soon, someone came chasing after her from another direction.

One by one, they held up their phones, tugged at Tuantuan's clothes, and called out to her, trying to coax her to turn around and take pictures of her face.

With a cold face, Gu Lanxi held Tuantuan in her arms and charged forward with her head down.

There were just too many people, and the two of them kept losing equipment as they walked.

Tuantuan was held securely, covered with a cloak, and only her shoes were snatched off. Gu Lanxi, on the other hand, was in a terrible state. Her hair clips, necklace, and camera were all stolen, as if she had encountered bandits.

In the end, even the camera she was carrying was grabbed by someone.

Gu Lanxi ripped out the memory card, took off the camera, and threw it over. Someone caught it and put it in their arms, though no one knows who it was.

A large group of people rushed forward to grab it, but she couldn't stop them and quickly moved to the car.

This was the first time Tuantuan had encountered such a situation, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears. Gu Lanxi comforted the child while gritting her teeth and opening the car door.

After shoving the child inside, he casually pulled a nunchaku from under the seat, and with a flick of his wrist, cleared a large space around it. This guy really can be violent if you piss him off.

Everyone stepped back in unison.

Gu Lanxi got into the car and didn't forget to fasten Tuantuan's seatbelt.

As soon as she started her car, several other cars surrounded her and blocked her way.

Then a group of people ran over, pressed themselves against the window, and started taking pictures of Tuan Tuan.

Tuantuan has only made one public appearance so far, and that was at a fashion week abroad. The photos that were released either didn't show her face or were blurred. Tuantuan's face-up photos, especially the photos with Gu Lanxi, are now very valuable.

It was a rare opportunity to catch the two of them alone, and fearing that such a good chance would be taken by someone else, these people, who had been chasing smuggled goods for years and knew what they could do and what was in the gray area, still couldn't resist their greed and swarmed around them.

Gu Lanxi was furious, but she didn't dare to hit people with her car. Helpless, she could only pull the curtain closed and call the police.

"Yes, we were robbed by a mob. They stole a professional camera worth 300,000 yuan, a jacket worth 5,800 yuan, children's shoes, stroller, baby bottle, clothes, and various jewelry. The total loss was about 1.2 million yuan."

Gu Lanxi touched her neck and saw that the matching necklace she and Lu Nanting wore had also been torn off. Her neck was throbbing slightly. Looking down, she saw blood on her collar and added:
"I've been attacked, and my neck is bleeding. I need medical help..."

Gu Lanxi called the police under her real name and clearly stated her location, which nearly scared the police to death!

Under the clear sky, how could anyone be so audacious?

Gu Lanxi hung up the phone, but after thinking about it, she still called Lu Nanting.

They had just moved here, and only two bodyguards came. Today, Lu Nanting had a schedule and was going to a crowded place, so Gu Lanxi didn't bring anyone with her. Staying in the car all the time wasn't a good solution.

Once those people calmed down, although they didn't smash the car, they all acted like they'd lost their minds, desperately pulling on the car doors.

After Gu Lanxi finished her phone call, she went to the back seat, held the child in her arms, and comforted him.

Unexpectedly, their actions would cause such serious consequences. The fans present were filled with regret and anger, feeling that they really shouldn't have come today. However, the root of the problem lay in the video released by Lu Nanting. They had only drawn a general conclusion based on the information they had and then randomly came out to try their luck.

Essentially, it was more like a team-building activity; I never imagined I would actually run into the two of them.

The fans present quickly gathered more people and surrounded the group of sasaeng fans, preventing them from leaving.

Anyone who tried to run away was whipped hard with the flagpole.

If you don't know how powerful obsessive fans in the Chinese entertainment industry can be, you simply can't understand it unless you've experienced it yourself.

Installing GPS trackers and recording pens in cars are child's play; breaking locks, trespassing into private homes, and selling celebrities' contact information are even more commonplace.

As for chasing cars, blocking others, and forcibly hugging and kissing, there's no need to elaborate.

Surrounding them, taking their belongings, and taking photos of them was a relatively mild method compared to other methods.

There are surveillance cameras everywhere around Dianshan Lake. Gu Lanxi couldn't understand what these people were thinking. She briefly explained what was going on to Lu Nanting, then quickly contacted a lawyer specializing in criminal cases. After that, she held Tuantuan in her arms and gently patted her back.

Property loss is one thing, but if the child is left with psychological trauma, that would be terrible.

Thinking of this, Gu Lanxi gritted her teeth in anger.

But seeing Tuantuan's panicked face, she quickly regained her composure and whispered to her, "Baby, when something bad happens, remember that the most important thing is to stay calm and composed. Solving the problem is the most important thing. Crying won't solve anything, and yelling is pointless. Do you remember what Mommy just did? Hmm? Can you tell Mommy?"

Gu Lanxi filled a glass with warm water and carefully washed Tuantuan's face. She then applied some perfume to her, held her in her arms, turned her back to the outside, and whispered to her.

Tuantuan quickly stopped crying, sniffling and leaning against her. Once she had completely calmed down, she whispered back, "Call the police."

"No, the first thing to do is leave the dangerous place, taking with you the people and things you care about."

After saying that, Gu Lanxi took out the memory card and her phone and showed them to her: "Our photos from today are all in here. Our happiness hasn't been lost. Baby, tell me, didn't Mom do a great job?"

Tuantuan pinched her chubby little feet, pouted, and looked like she was about to cry again.

"Baby's shoes~"

Gu Lanxi smiled gently: "Although those shoes only cost two thousand eight, your shoes are all equipped with locators. That thing is worth thirty thousand, so we can easily find them again."

Tuantuan wasn't very sensitive to prices, so she asked out of curiosity. Gu Lanxi then whispered to her about the sentencing standards for robbery.

“They were all wearing masks, which constitutes masked robbery, making it an even more serious crime.”

Don't underestimate a pair of children's shoes; if it leads to a conviction, the minimum sentence is three years.

Thinking of this, Gu Lanxi let out a long sigh of relief, cradled Tuantuan in her hands, and kissed her, as if telling the child, and also as telling herself:

"To live is to maintain dignity!" (End of Chapter)
