Huayu98: Starting with mentoring pop divas

The Singaporean police, who had initially appeared aggressive, left.

Seeing that the commotion caused by Li Shuo had subsided, the tense atmosphere in the music school's large practice room, where the audition performance had been interrupted, suddenly relaxed.

Li Weisong and Li Sisong exchanged a relieved look and began to clean up the mess.

The trainees were reassured and informed that today's interviews would be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Warner's Zhou Jianhui was finally able to achieve his original goal for the day. He took Sun Yanzi, whose mind was clearly still on Li Shuo, and her family to communicate about the intention to sign a contract.

Before leaving, he gave Zheng Xiuwen a wink, and she nodded, sorted out her thoughts, and walked towards Li Shuo.

Xu Huanliang, along with A-Du, couldn't wait to step forward, partly to offer some comfort, and partly to finalize the song "It's Getting Dark," which was of good quality and suitable.

Before the crowd could even gather around, Li Dongli had already run over and put her arm around her nephew's shoulder.

Exhausted and apologetic, she led Li Shuo away.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry. My child was already exhausted from preparing for the performance today, and then this unexpected event happened, so he's not in a good state."

Her voice was polite and courteous, yet it held an air of unyielding resolve.

"I'll take him home to rest first. I'm also very grateful to everyone for speaking up for me today. Once my nephew has rested, I'll arrange for him to thank you all in person."

Seeing this, everyone felt it was reasonable, so they had no choice but to suppress their thoughts and watch her protect Li Shuo as they quickly left.

A moment later, an ivory-white W140 Mercedes-Benz drove away from the "Lee Wei Song Music School" and merged into the traffic flow in Singapore.

Li Dongli didn't ask immediately. She pressed the privacy mode to raise the soundproof panel in the back, remained silent for a moment, and then looked at her quiet and "well-behaved" nephew beside her.

"Alright, you specifically asked me to come here today, and it just so happens that we've run into this situation. Don't tell your aunt it's a coincidence?"

Sigh... I knew my second aunt would notice something was wrong.

Li Shuo, who also wanted to verify something, sorted out his thoughts and began to give his explanation.

"It was this morning, at the music restaurant where I had previously performed, that a waiter friend of mine reminded me."

Li Shuo began to narrate.

"I had lent him money in an emergency before. So when I saw that one of the band members I temporarily joined, named Raj, was talking to a customer in the kitchen about me, and that customer gave Raj a lot of money and a small bag of things, he became suspicious."

After a pause, Li Shuo took a bottle of water from the car's storage compartment, unscrewed it, and took a sip, as if reminiscing.

"Then, early in the morning, he saw Raj go to the store to pick up the guitar he borrowed from me. He was very careful putting something into the Fisherman's Treasure metal box in my guitar case. Most importantly, he was wearing gloves the whole time, so he immediately called me."

Upon hearing this, a rare, ferocious look flashed across Li Dongli's well-maintained face.

"How much do you know about this Raj?"

"It's alright. Aside from rehearsals and performances, I don't know him very well. He's a local Indian mixed-race." Li Shuo thought for a moment.

"He's usually quite enthusiastic towards me."

"How dare you be so bold!" Li Dongli couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"Since you knew beforehand, why didn't you tell me the details immediately? This kind of thing could have been prevented in advance, so we wouldn't have been caught off guard today!"

Li Dongli felt more fear than blame. If the child had been any more stubborn and hadn't said anything, he would have been in real danger today!

But what Li Shuo was thinking was... that won't do.

I let you intervene in advance to prevent it, and we managed to avoid it this time... But who knows when and how we'll trick him next time?

But he couldn't say it outright; his face showed the frustration and relief of a young man.

"I... I was a little confused at the time, and I was worried that my friend might have misread it and cause a misunderstanding. I thought I should check it myself first. But thankfully... I'm smart enough to know to call you, Aunt."

Li Dongli stared at him thoughtfully, but was more concerned about another issue. "Then... what happened to that box of 'Fisherman's Treasure'? How did you know it was contraband? What did you do with it?!"

"After getting the violin case, I went to the bathroom to open it and take a look." Li Shuo deliberately spoke as if it were a trivial matter.

"I had seen those documentaries about European and American rock bands before, so I had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was. Without thinking much, I just flushed it down the drain, rinsed the box several times with water, and even stomped on it before throwing it away."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongli let out a long sigh of relief. Her nephew's handling of the situation was correct, and the current predicament had been resolved.

But the thought of the person who dared to use such vicious means to frame her nephew filled her with resentment.

Dealing with prohibited items is a very serious offense in Singapore!

If she hadn't brought the company's lawyer with her nephew Li Shuo today to discuss contracts and copyrights, she would have been in a very passive position.

Even if they are minors, they will definitely be sent to juvenile detention centers; this doesn't apply to foreigners in Singapore.

Moreover, a criminal record for such behavior will follow the nephew for life, cutting off many of the future paths that he and his brother Li Mingyao had planned for the nephew.

What a ruthless arrangement and scheme... It seems like I've thought of something but I'm not sure...

Seeing that Li Dongli seemed to be thinking about something, Li Shuo suddenly spoke.

"Second Aunt, the friend who notified me also mentioned something strange."

"Huh? What's so strange!"

Distracted, Li Dongli replied casually.

"My friend didn't see the face of the client who negotiated the deal that harmed me with Raj, but he later heard the man speaking Peninsular Chinese on the phone!"

"Peninsula language...what!? Peninsula language!"

Startled, she saw Li Shuo staring at her curiously.

Li Dongli quickly suppressed her surprise and asked a question that seemed more like an attempt to cover up her misunderstanding.

"Um... have you ever offended anyone from the Peninsula Hotel during your performances, and had any conflicts with them?"

"How could that be? I used to be a very quiet person when I was out... how could I possibly offend anyone..."

Li Shuo thoughtfully withdrew his gaze, glancing out the car window as he answered, but he already had the answer he wanted in his heart.

Ha~ I really do have a secret! And it turns out that I'm the only one in this family who doesn't know about it!

Li Dongli quickly adjusted her expression and regained the composure of an elder.

"I don't believe you. You've always seemed introverted, but you've caused quite a bit of trouble back in Beijing."

She changed the subject, her tone now tinged with satisfaction.

"But you handled things very well today. You seem to have matured all of a sudden. I used to worry that you were too introverted and wouldn't know how to handle things, but it seems that I was worrying too much."

She patted Li Shuo's hand.

"Alright, let's put this behind us for today. Go home and have Aunt Yuchun make you something nice to eat, then you can rest. When your dad comes, we can have a proper talk about your desire to go back to China to study."

"Buzz-buzz!"

Li Shuo's Nokia 6110 in his pocket started vibrating continuously, the screen's light illuminating the dimly lit carriage.

He took it out and saw a flood of information coming in one after another.

Li Weisong: "There's no need to worry about the school. The truth will come out today, so don't feel pressured. You have a high level of creative talent! Your work is fantastic! Get some rest first."

Xu Huanliang: "Li Shuo, get some rest today. Ocean Butterflies is very interested in that song 'When It Gets Dark,' we'll discuss it in more detail later."

Lin Junjie: "Junior brother, you looked absolutely stunning today! It's good you're alright, get some rest!"

Sun Yanzi has two...and they're all weird?

"Li Shuo... get some rest today. If you feel unwell, you can apply a warm compress..."

Then I saw the second one.

"...If applying heat doesn't work, try applying ice."

Although it was somewhat inexplicable... Li Shuo unconsciously tightened his legs a little.

What really caught Li Shuo's eye was Zheng Xiuwen's message: "Handsome boy, stay calm under pressure, and I'm looking forward to your project with your older sister. You're great! And you're also very attractive, hahaha!"

That's impolite, Queen of Pop?

Li Shuo muttered as he put his phone back in his pocket.

Without replying to any of them, I leaned back into the soft leather seat.

I don't know if it was the tension from the past half of my life or the tension of this day of rebirth that has finally eased...
