I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 340 I thought you wouldn't call me!

Ye Xian's face darkened: "That's your sister!"

Afif said nonchalantly, "You can be my brother-in-law."

Ye Xian slapped his forehead: "Let's get down to business."

Afif stopped joking and said seriously, "Last night was indeed a honey trap, not a stalker fan. The other party didn't expect you to have changed rooms, so they gave up after knocking and hearing a woman inside."

In Beijing, there are specialized gangs and temporary partners involved in honey trap scams. Last night's scam was a specialized gang. Someone had tipped them off about your arrival time, and they waited in the lobby until you went back to your hotel to rest before going up to you.

Ye Xian felt a wave of fear, followed by a sense of relief.

Sure enough, Qiu Qing was my lucky charm; it wasn't for nothing that I asked her for the photos to keep.

Hmm, I'll have to reward him properly later.

Afif, unaware that Ye Xian had drifted off into thought, continued, "This honey trap gang specializes in dirty work in the capital. When I went to them, they readily admitted it."

The problem is, there's no evidence, and the other party didn't succeed. They can't be caught, and the other party would never betray their employer, as that's their livelihood.

However, out of consideration for me, the other party is reminding you that the person who sent the message will likely take further action.

Furthermore, this honey trap gang is willing to offer 20 yuan to settle.

Afif was also somewhat embarrassed. Just a few hours earlier, he had confidently declared that he could handle things perfectly. Who would have thought that the other party would be so unyielding, only willing to offer a settlement fee of 20 and unwilling to reveal who was behind it all?

Even if you offer them 200 million, they still won't reveal who they are.

These kinds of things in the underworld can't always be solved with money.

The fact that they dared to use Ye Xian, one of the most popular celebrities today, to set a honey trap shows that this group is clearly not an ordinary person.

They are bold and have a big appetite.

Afif was a bit careless before.

Ye Xian was already very satisfied with this. In such a short time, he not only found the other party but also obtained other information, which allowed him to avoid a lot of risks.

As it turns out, Afif was indeed very capable.

"Who do you think did it?"

Afif asked.

"My enemies are neither numerous nor few..."

Ye Xian initially wanted to say that he didn't have many enemies, the most troublesome one was already in jail, but then he thought about it and suddenly realized that he didn't have that few: "I remember now, I ruined the fruit vendor's business, could that be what they did?"

Ding Zhan also thought it was possible, but it was hard to say, because Ye Xian's influence was too wide, and no one knew who was behind it.

After discussing it for a while, the group decided that they could only strengthen their defenses.

The problem is, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

It's difficult to defend against something you don't know what tricks the other side will pull.

By this time, the women had already eaten breakfast and gotten up, so Ye Xian had to put this matter aside and lead everyone to the filming location for rehearsals.

Upon arriving at the scene, Ye Xian finished walking the runway and was about to communicate with the director when he suddenly caught sight of Li Ming standing not far away.

Ye Xian remembered that his name wasn't on the program.

Ye Xian's heart stirred slightly, and he roughly understood where Li Ming might be trying to trick him.

……

The entertainment industry has always been dirty.

There are far too many dirty tricks done behind the scenes.

A honey trap is a direct smear campaign, but there are many more sophisticated ways to make yourself lose face.

For example, when I went on stage tonight, my in-ear monitors couldn't receive any sound, or there was a delay, or the sound level fluctuated.

For example, the teleprompter may malfunction.

Another example is when the volume of your microphone is suddenly turned down.

Ye Xian didn't understand, but that didn't mean he hadn't seen similar short videos in another world.

If there's a problem with the in-ear monitor, it will appear that you're singing off-key, out of rhythm, or rushing the beat, which will make people think that there's a problem with your actual singing ability.

Teleprompters are fine, as you don't need to rely on your own memory, but it's hard to say about the Sound Five girls.

Microphone volume, that's disgusting.

Ye Xian dared not gamble on these people's conscience, even though this gala was broadcast live to the entire Tang Dynasty. There were far too many cases of microphone muting and earpiece problems on satellite TV programs from other worlds.

For money and profit, a singer's career can be ruined with just a flick of the finger.

If Ye Xian hadn't seen Li Ming at this rehearsal, he wouldn't have suspected him based on this worst-case scenario. Now that he'd seen him, he had no choice but to pick up his phone.

"Your Highness!"

"I thought you wouldn't call me!"

The sixth princess's languid voice came from the phone, making Ye Xian's ears itch.

"It's not that they're young and inexperienced, they haven't seen much of the world, and they haven't seen many things like this before!"

Ye Xian wasn't embarrassed at all. He thought the honey trap was a small matter. He had dodged it and he was just being careful. Besides, it was only two or three in the morning, so he didn't bother the Sixth Princess.

But when Ye Xian saw Li Ming standing in the distance staring at him, he felt like there was a fly bothering him.

"I'll be there for tonight's performance, so no one will cause any trouble."

The Sixth Princess's words were always full of domineering confidence: "You are a guest performer I invited, I won't let you be bullied."

Ye Xian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her, saying, "It's all thanks to Your Highness. I was just worried about what would happen if the in-ear monitors stopped working or the teleprompter malfunctioned when I went on stage. I'm fine, but those young girls are all newcomers. I was afraid they would panic and cause trouble on stage, which would embarrass Your Highness."

The Sixth Princess replied slowly, "Aren't you a newbie too?"

Ye Xian was extremely embarrassed.

The Sixth Princess stopped teasing Ye Xian, but she still didn't give him a friendly look: "When you encounter a honey trap, what's the use of going to a nouveau riche instead of me? Can money solve all problems?"

Ye Xian chuckled and said, "At two or three in the morning, wasn't I just worried about disturbing Your Highness's beauty sleep?"

The Sixth Princess snorted coldly, "I've already arrested them. They won't be allowed to run rampant under my nose anymore. We'll find out who they are soon. You can rest assured and continue with your rehearsal!"

Regarding Li Ming's matter, from now on he can only suppress you within the rules. If he dares to interfere, I'll chop off his hand.

These two reassurances made Ye Xian overjoyed: "Your Highness, I have no way to repay you. Please feel free to give me any orders in the future."

The Sixth Princess's playful voice came, instantly sealing Ye Xian away.

"I thought you were going to say you'd repay me with your body!"

……

Seeing the Sixth Princess hang up the phone, Ye Xian was still immersed in her last words. He didn't know if she was joking or speaking sincerely, but he definitely didn't dare to respond carelessly.

People will die.

Turning around, Ye Xian found that Li Ming was still watching him from a distance.

This time, Ye Xian no longer felt nauseous.

Instead, he showed the other person eight teeth.

I thought you were angry with me and were planning to smear me.

Who knew it was because the Sixth Princess had warned them?

This feeling of leaving your opponent frustrated and powerless.

That's cool!
