Chapter 104 The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Power

Fan Bingbing never thought of herself as a fool—in fact, from her perspective, fools basically couldn't survive in the film and television industry, or rather, the entertainment industry.

The only fate of a fool is to be completely devoured by a group of people, leaving not even a trace.

Since her debut in "My Fair Princess", she has experienced many ups and downs in the entertainment industry over the years, which has allowed her to meet many people and witness many events.

She believed she had a certain understanding of people's hearts.

So, all along the way, she had been wondering what Brother Li was doing in Macau, and what she could possibly do by going with him—to put it more dramatically, she was even considering how to get to Macau by helicopter, and whether Brother Li had made his fortune there, etc.

A series of thoughts swirled in her mind.

While pondering this, the car arrived at the helicopter airport in Shawan Town.

She blinked when she saw the helicopters on the tarmac.

After her assistant parked the car, she said, "Go ask how the tickets were bought and how long it takes to get to Macau."

"OK."

She didn't get out of the car. Her assistant quickly returned and said, "Sister, I've checked. There's only one type of helicopter left, a two-seater. It's 3,800 yuan per person one way. It takes a little over an hour to get to Macau."

This ticket price is not low.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's go, go buy two tickets."

"OK."

The assistant left quickly, and Fan Bing got out of the car, wearing a mask, and walked into the waiting hall.

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, she didn't bring any change of clothes. She also dressed modestly, which fit Li Ge's text message request to "not wear makeup."

The assistant quickly bought two tickets, and then the two of them went through security together, followed by directions out of the waiting hall and headed straight for the small helicopter.

Soon, the propellers began to spin, and amidst a tremendous noise, the helicopter took off.

At first, she was a little uncomfortable with the noise, but she quickly closed her eyes.

I felt like I was in a daze when the plane landed, and when I opened my eyes again, we had arrived in Macau.

When she instinctively tried to contact Li Mu, she found that he had sent another message with a phone number: "This number belongs to the driver. He's already waiting for you at the airport."

Soon after, she spotted a Mercedes-Benz W14 with a Macau license plate.

This car—

As she pondered this, she got into the car and began to observe the scenery of Macau.

Putting everything else aside, this was actually her first time in Macau.

Having filmed for so long, I've been to Hong Kong and Taiwan, but this is truly my first time in Macau.

Ultimately, it has a sense of novelty.

Not long after, she received another message from Li Mu: "I'm already at the entrance of the Lisboa Hotel. You'll see me when you get off the bus."

After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Should I wear a mask?"

"Yes, I called you here suddenly this time, there's no other reason. So just keep a low profile as much as possible."

It was quite sudden.

Fan Taobing pondered for a moment, then replied, "Is now a convenient time to talk?"

Let's talk about it when we meet.

"it is good."

So, as the car turned into a bustling street, Fan Bing could already see the words "Macau Palace" gleaming in the darkness through the car window.

A hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

Her first reaction to this legendary casino, which she had only heard of but never visited, was that it was indeed very bustling. It was no less impressive than any of the old-fashioned hotels she had seen in Hong Kong.

However, this attention immediately followed Hu Tou to the ceremonial table, where he was drawn to Li Mu standing to the side.

She saw Li Mu, and Li Mu saw her too, so they quickly walked over.

He stopped the doorman from opening the door, saying, "Let me do it."

So the doorman stepped aside, and Li Mu opened the back door and saw the big star whose face was covered by a large mask and a baseball cap.

"Hello—who is she?"

"My assistant is Xiaomi."

"What about the one from last time?"

"Um—something came up, I was transferred."

"oh oh."

Li Mu nodded, and after she got out of the car, he closed the door. Then he took out a room key card that he had opened with his own ID card and handed it to Xiaomi: "Here, this is the room key. Xiaomi, you can go back to your room and wait. Fan Ye, let's talk as we walk."

"Uh... Sis?"

Xiaomi hesitated.

After all, this place is a "casino," which is definitely not a good place for a kid who grew up on the mainland.

Being inexplicably transported to Macau by a phone call, then to a casino—and finally even being told to leave—clearly violates one's job duties.

Upon hearing her assistant's words, Fan Taobing turned to look at her, then at Li Mu.

In the end, she chose to place her trust in Brother Li: "It's okay, go to your room and rest."

"----OK."

Xiaomi took the room key, while Li Mu deliberately led Fan Bing to the other side door leading into the hotel.

"Fan Ye, to put it simply—do you know about the reconciliation dinner between Zeng Zhiwei and Yang Shoucheng?"

Fan Bing was taken aback: "The one Jackie Chan organized?"

"Um."

After looking around, Li Mu lowered his voice and said, "The reason I called you here today is this: one of the people we're going to meet later is a lady, whose surname is..."

Less than a minute later, Fan Taobing, who was whispering with Li Mu, suddenly widened her eyes, then quickly narrowed them.

"That's amazing??"

Her tone became more serious.

"Yes. I don't know exactly how powerful she is because of Brother Bie. But she definitely has a lot of influence."

"—Then why did you call me here?"

'

'

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Li Mu's eyes: "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you, it's like this—"

Although his tone was awkward, he knew he couldn't waste too much time, so he quickly said, "When I was buying the house, I asked Brother Bie for leave, but you need a reason for taking leave, right? He didn't know my situation, and I didn't want to tell him, so I could only use you as an excuse, saying that you wanted me to go to Yanjing."

"..——

Fan Taobing's lips twitched.

She understood what Li Mu was about to say without him having to.

I've been used as a pawn, and—

"Don't let the reporters misunderstand our relationship."

Li Mu gave an irrelevant answer: "I'm going to America—using you as an excuse. To say you're going too—"

"Brother Li???"

Even the big stars were stunned.

I thought to myself, "What do you take me for, some big rooster?"

They're going to grab my hair and pluck it out of me like crazy?

"I'm sorry, but I've told Brother Bie several times that we're just friends—but I don't know how it got to Sister Zhang, and now it's become 'us'—"

'

Li Mu didn't finish his sentence, but Fan Bing already understood.

However, her reaction was not the speechless or embarrassed look Li Mu had expected. Instead, she nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand. She wants to see me?"

"I guess so. It's mainly because of another woman, Sister Ding. She's probably a fan of yours. We were talking about you at the table today, and Sister Zhang just mentioned it. It all turned into a misunderstanding, and Sister Ding started asking about you. We all had a few drinks at noon, and you know how people can be quite stubborn when they've had a few drinks. So I had no choice but to call you over."

After Li Mu briefly explained everything, Fan Bing had a complete understanding of the situation.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Two seconds later, she said, "Let's go then, don't keep them waiting too long. Are there any reporters around?"

"This whole thing happened because Brother Bie got drunk."

"—Okay. So—from now on, shall we pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

As she said those words, for some reason, Fan Bing blinked rapidly.

But Li Mu didn't see it, and instead shook his head slightly: "It's somewhere between yes and no. It's not good to let people misunderstand you, but don't worry—there definitely won't be any news."

As he said this, he didn't notice that a much shorter celebrity was staring at him. After he finished speaking, Fan Bing closed her eyes and replied, "I believe that. Why would such a big shot care about our gossip? He's just curious."

In short, today was just a social engagement, right?

"Um.

""

"Let's go then, don't keep them waiting too long."

"Okay, sorry, Fan Bingbing."

"hey-hey."

Hearing Li Mu's apology, Fan Bing laughed instead: "What's the big deal? Besides, I should thank you, Brother Li. Not just anyone can meet a big shot like this. Today, I guess I'm just riding on his coattails."

Her words immediately made Li Mu feel much better.

So he smiled and shook his head, saying, "As long as you don't blame me."

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and Li Mu pushed it open and went inside.

In an instant, the eyes of several people in the private room fell on him—or rather, on Fan Taobing, who was wearing a mask and baseball cap behind him.

"Hey, you're here! Hahaha, Xiao Li, come and introduce yourself to us!"

Sister Zhang's cheerful voice rang out immediately.

And as the "host," her words were tantamount to sending a welcome signal.

Then, amidst the curious gazes of everyone, especially Sister Ding, Fan Bing removed her baseball cap and bra, and Li Mu's voice rang out at the same time: "Uh—Sister Zhang, this is my—friend, Fan Bing."

-

When they heard Li Mu's words, the group, including Sister Zhang, stopped joking and instead showed a mocking smile.

It was like seeing a child who was a little embarrassed.

But—I have to admit it.

They are indeed celebrities who can appear on television.

Even without makeup, Jin Suo's face is truly stunning.

Everyone was sighing with admiration until Li Mu introduced Fan Bing to her: "Let me introduce you, this is Sister Zhang—"

"Hello, Sister Zhang, I'm Fan Jiabing. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hey hey, hello hello, come sit down, do you know how to play cards?"

"I'm not very good at this, I'll just watch from the side."

"That's fine too."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Mu continued his introduction.

Soon, after everyone, including the fan Sister Ding, had been introduced, Li Mu returned to his croupier position, and Fan Taobing sat down next to him.

First, do not speak too much; second, do not say too much.

The card game resumed as usual.
