Money can really do whatever it wants

Even the most experienced fans don’t dare to say that they know everything about their idol’s schedule.

"Uh..." Wu Xuanxuan's expression froze, as if she didn't expect Chen Mo to ask this question.

"Did I ask some very low-level question?" Chen Mo saw the other person's expression and thought that he didn't understand the fan circle enough, which led to a very low-level understanding error.

"That's not true. If you don't pay attention to this aspect, you may not understand it. Generally, artists and companies will issue clarifications as soon as possible in this situation. It is abnormal that there is no news yet." Wu Xuanxuan's expression quickly returned to normal.

"But generally speaking, I think as long as there is no crucifixion, the company should clarify it as soon as possible, or has the company confirmed that she did it?" Wu Xuanxuan's explanation could not eliminate Chen Mo's doubts, and this is what he has always said. It's very strange that the other party's company seemed to have been disconnected from the beginning of the incident. They only issued a few indifferent statements and never made any response to the overwhelming public opinion.

"How is it possible? How could Xiaomei do something like that? I... She usually has a good relationship with that assistant. Even if something like this happened, she wouldn't kill anyone." Wu Xuanxuan pushed her hands forward. After walking a certain distance, his upper body left the back of the chair and leaned forward, his face flushed a little, and his tone became much louder.

"And why did you think of asking me about her situation? I'm not a policeman, I'm just a bystander." Chen Mo noticed that the other party was quite excited and did not intend to argue with the girl in front of him who was defending his idol on this issue. After too much entanglement, he changed the topic slightly.

Just as they were talking, two waiters knocked on the door and came in to serve the food, interrupting their conversation and allowing Wu Xuanxuan to calm down a little.

"I'm sorry, just now... I was a little excited and lost my temper." After the two waiters left, Wu Xuanxuan took a sip of water and lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Chen Mo.After all, she took the liberty to invite Chen Mo, and her attitude and tone just now were wrong no matter what.

"It's okay, I understand, you haven't talked about the problem just now." As Chen Mo said, he put on his gloves, picked up the knife and started to cut the meat on the lamb ribs, put them on one end of the big plate, and signaled to Wu Xuanxuan that it was okay. Eat it directly.

"You have had too many contacts with the police, and you also talked directly with the person in charge of the case on the day of the incident. You can't just be a bystander. You should have gone to the police station again yesterday, right?" Wu Xuanxuan asked about Chen Mo's itinerary. He knew him very well and even knew that he had a direct conversation with Peng Lian at that time.

"You know all this?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

"Although the police keep the identity of the witness confidential, under the circumstances, it would not be difficult to find out if you pay a little attention." Wu Xuanxuan explained with a chuckle.

Her smile was very stiff, as if the muscles on her face were not under control, causing her grin to be too big, but it didn't look like she was forcing it on from her tone and posture.

"Um...that's it." Chen Mo said this, but he didn't accept this explanation in his heart. The police at the scene had very good isolation measures for the witnesses, and they would not meet each other at all. It was absolutely impossible to do what she said. So simple.

But he wasn't broken either.

The two fell into an eerie silence for a while. In order to avoid embarrassment, they unanimously extended their chopsticks to the lamb ribs that Chen Mo had cut in the middle of the table. The two pairs of chopsticks touched each other, just as their eyes met.

Originally, Chen Mo thought that the other party only chose such a restaurant to cater to his possible preferences, but when he moved his chopsticks, he found that the girl in front of him, who looked quite slender and only had unusually thick thighs, had a large appetite. .

"I can only say that the situation is different from what you think. The police have not yet reached a unified opinion, and they do not have enough evidence to detain her for too long." Chen Mo stopped after eating two pieces of mutton. He stood down and lowered his head to play with the tableware in his hands.

His words cannot be said to be completely false. After all, Yang Wenyu among the police did raise objections, but the actual situation is actually worse than Wu Xuanxuan imagined. The police can indeed only detain people for 24 hours, but in this case specifically, But they had a way to make Cheng Xiao compromise.

"But I contacted..." The girl opposite was in a very unstable mood today, and seemed to be aware of this situation. She stopped mid-sentence, took a few deep breaths, and then continued: "But I contacted a lot Sisters who are well-informed don’t know Xiaoxiao’s current situation. Can you tell me in more detail? Don’t worry, it’s not good for Xiaoxiao if this kind of thing is revealed. I can’t let others know.”

In fact, Chen Mo had just asked a question in a circumstantial way, but the question was not continued in the end.

"Going back to the question just now, I want to know, why are you so sure that you can find her as soon as she regains her freedom? And as her fan, you should know better why her company is pretending to be dead until now? "Chen Mo did not continue to answer Wu Xuanxuan, but chose to return to the original topic, and then added: "I only have a few encounters with her, and more of it is just pure curiosity. You want to know from me? For some things, something should be exchanged.”

Wu Xuanxuan put her hands on the table, stared at Chen Mo for a while, sighed, and leaned back on her seat.Now that things have come to this, she knows that she can't do anything with nothing.

If someone else were sitting across from her, she might have thought that the other person wanted money, and she did bring tens of thousands of dollars with her in case the other person opened his mouth and made a deal.But the person who finally appeared in front of her was wearing clothes and a watch worth nearly 20 yuan, and driving a million-dollar car. He didn't seem to care about this little money.

"Okay, I can tell you these questions, but you can't tell anyone else, and I want you to answer my questions first." Wu Xuanxuan pursed her lips tightly, as if she was worried that Chen Mo would raise objections, especially the second one. condition.

In fact, Chen Mo was basically sure from the beginning that the other party was not a reporter who came to obtain information.

When Chen Mo entered the box, Wu Xuanxuan was already sitting on the inside of the room, further away from the door, but she led Chen Mo to the seat opposite him and close to the door - when the two people were communicating alone, the seat further away from the door The position is usually that of the oppressed party, because if she wants to leave the room, she must get past Chen Mo, and psychologically she will have a sense of being forced to knock down the person in front of her before she can run out of the room.

In addition, throughout the chat, her posture was to lean on the back of the chair and hold a glass of water in front of her with both hands. This is a standard self-protection and defensive action.The rare times when Chen Mo leaned forward and made attacks, or self-defense and counterattack gestures, were when Chen Mo mentioned Cheng Xiao. It can be seen that she cares about Cheng Xiao far more than herself, and if she is a reporter or similar He would not put himself in such a passive position when he came up.

And even ordinary people who don't understand this knowledge at all will subconsciously choose Chen Mo's current position when communicating one-on-one with strangers, and show a certain sense of nervousness and aggression.The choices and actions Wu Xuanxuan made subconsciously made Chen Mo feel a little too weak.

In short, he still chose to believe the other party.

"Based on what I heard and judged at the police station, Cheng Xiao should be the main suspect in this case. The police must have released the person yesterday. But for Cheng Xiao's status, there are many ways to temporarily Let her compromise, such as arranging her to a specific residence." Chen Mo's initial words made Wu Xuanxuan's heart rise, and she was also a little surprised that he gave the answer so easily, but soon she I can't care about this anymore.

"So you know where she is?" When Chen Mo finished talking about the specific residence, Wu Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, her hands clenched into fists and placed on her legs, and her exposed arms tightened.But she is too thin. If Yang Wenyu made such an action, the muscle lines of her arms should be very obvious.

"Stop making trouble. The above are all what I heard them talking about. Things like residence are considered confidential. How can I talk about it casually?" Chen Mo waved his hand. Although he decided to reveal some information to the other party, it was not everything. It can be said that looking at her like this, if she knew Cheng Xiao's current location, she might come directly to her door. At least Yang Wenyu who had revealed the news would be completely ruined.

"Okay, you're right." Wu Xuanxuan also knew that what Chen Mo said made sense, but she still inevitably lost it and returned to holding the cup with both hands.

"Now it's my turn." Wu Xuanxuan drank all the water in the cup, put one hand on her forehead, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, as if she was sorting out her thoughts.

Chen Mo picked up the teapot and filled it with water. Two seconds later, Wu Xuanxuan opened her eyes.

"This matter starts with the organizational model of Cosmic Girls. Do you know that they are actually jointly operated by companies from China and South Korea?" Since I know that Chen Mo is not a fandom person, these basic questions need to confirm whether he is clear.

Chen Mo nodded, of course he still knew about things that could be found on Baidu.

"But in fact, the Korean company SE is responsible for operations and has a much greater say. Cosmic Girls introduced me... We Xiaoxiao and two other Chinese members were mainly to develop the Chinese market. Maybe it was Song Qian who started it, and the Korean company wanted to develop in China The group will recruit a few Chinese people to join the group. But the response of the entire group is average, and there is no progress in the Chinese market."

"But there are not many fans like you, so how can you say there is no progress?" Chen Mo looked at the girl in front of him. After all, she herself was a fan of Cheng Xiao.

Chapter 57 Mysterious Message

"I am a fan of Cheng Xiao. At most, I am a fan of the Chinese team, not a group fan. Our kind may not be a positive asset to the entire group. In short, the Chinese trio, especially Xiaomei, has indeed gained a lot of individual fans, but The entire group has made very little progress, which has become a source of conflict between the company and them." Wu Xuanxuan shook her head, with some disdain on her face, as if she was complaining about her idol.

"So she, or they, became the price of the entire group's march into China?" Chen Mo probably guessed the plot behind it.

"Yes, SE has started to promote individual activities for various three-person groups, but the resources are shared by the whole group, and there is no benefit in contract allocation. This is already an open matter in the circle. In fact, this is not the case. , it’s just me...our sister Xiao and the other two sisters are a little tired, but this time they want to use Xiaoxiao’s body to exchange for other people’s resources, and they have already touched our bottom line without her consent at all.” Wu Xuanxuan became more and more excited as she talked. As expected, she only showed strong aggression when it came to matters involving Cheng Xiao.

"But as fans, do you have any countermeasures? Whether you are quitting fans or boycotting, you will eventually hurt the idols themselves, and Cheng Xiao may not be aware of this. After all, such a deal..."

boom--

Wu Xuanxuan, who was opposite, punched the table. The loud sound interrupted Chen Mo's words. The aura exuded by her whole body made Chen Mo shrink back involuntarily.

"How is it possible? Not to mention that Xiaoxiao is not that kind of person. Even if there is a deal, who would deal with that kind of fat-headed, middle-aged old man? Moreover, it is a rubbish small-scale film production with an investment of only more than 500 million. Ah, more than 500 million!" Wu Xuanxuan was already a little hysterical at this time. Her voice was very beautiful. Even at such a high volume, it still had a special magnetism.

"Then why don't they invest their own money? Five million isn't a lot of money, right?" Chen Mo quickly changed the subject. Even he could pay for five million now, so why did he spend such a high price to find Song Qing to trade?

"Korean people are so good at seeking death. We don't say it openly in China now, but it is almost impossible for Korean-invested entertainment products to be approved in the mainland, and we also need some publicity channels. Although Song Qing is a senior executive of Lianhai Company , but in fact, he has many connections in the Yangtze River Delta, and the online entertainment industry is very developed, otherwise the money spent on these channels would be more than 500 million." When the topic did not involve Cheng Xiao, Wu Xuanxuan returned to her previous weak self. He looked angry, and the back and forth comparison made Chen Mo feel a little funny.

"You guys?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we, we Xiaomi probably want her to become famous in China more than Xiaoxiao herself. If we didn't need connections, we would have invested only a few million, and we could have raised it ourselves." Wu Xuanxuan rolled her eyes, He said nonchalantly, his expression still full of anger, which matched his slightly round face, making him very cute.

Chen Mo was slightly surprised - 500 million is not a big number, but seeing how she said it so easily, she might be a little rich woman.He had done little research on clothing styles, couldn't find any obvious logos, and didn't know the approximate price of her outfit, but he still recognized the LV bag next to her.

"Then what are you going to do if this doesn't happen?" Chen Mo continued the question.

"Expose the matter. Xiaoxiao is the person responsible for the popularity of the entire group. SE cannot bear the price of losing her fans. But we didn't expect that Sun Taijun would directly drug him with drugs. If it wasn't for the wrong person..." Wu Xuanxuan He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and held back the rest of his words.

"Then that post was also yours... No, it said that the victim was Cheng Xiao, so it must have been fabricated." Chen Mo originally wanted to know if the explosive post that went viral on the Internet on the day of the crime was posted by Wu Xuanxuan and others. Then I thought that the second half of the post now seemed very outrageous.

"Someone must have known some of the inside story, and then made up the other parts by themselves. How could we, Xiaomi, arrange something like that." Wu Xuanxuan shook her head. Of course she had seen that post. She almost fainted from nervousness. It was later proven that the content was not true.

"Anyway, I believe that the police will find out the truth of the matter. The current investigation into her is just a temporary measure. Don't worry too much." Chen Mo looked at the fragile and sensitive appearance of the other party and could only offer words of comfort.

"What I'm worried about is not this, but if the investigation continues for too long, all kinds of rumors will definitely arise, and the antis will not let go of this opportunity. Even if Xiaoxiao is proven innocent in the end, her idol career will be ruined. ." Wu Xuanxuan supported her chin with her hands and buried her head on her chest.

"It can't be so serious. I think there are many famous girl groups that have also experienced large-scale boycotts, and then they also came out, right?" Chen Mo used a knife to scrape off the layer of oil on the skin of the mutton and put it aside. , He doesn’t like food that is too greasy. He just ate some meat with mutton fat and now he can’t eat it anymore.

"Are you talking about Girls' Generation? Thank you so much for thinking so highly of Xiaoxiao and the others." Wu Xuanxuan sighed. Anyone who pays attention to Korean girl groups may not be a fan, but it is impossible not to know the legend of Girls' Generation. She shook her head and added: "The people in this group are originally divided. The company's attitude is partial and the goals are unclear. The leader EXY's reputation is not enough. After forming the group, he immediately formed sub-units, causing serious cliques among the members. If a wave of If the rhythm picks up, I’m afraid it will fall apart immediately.”

"In this case, why don't the three of them take the opportunity to directly return to China for development?" Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the table. Since the relationship with the company is already like this, it seems that they should consider finding another way out.

Wu Xuanxuan was stunned.

When Chen Mo saw this, he thought he had asked a confusing question again, and looked at the stunned opponent: "Uh, is there anything weird?"

There was another half minute of silence.

"No, you're right." Wu Xuanxuan's voice suddenly became very low, completely different from when she communicated with Chen Mo before, as if she had awakened some new attribute.

Chen Mo suddenly had an idea and wanted to take a look at Wu Xuanxuan's attributes.

[Wu Xuanxuan, female

youth

healthy, highly stressed

Power: 7

Agility: 12

Stamina: 13

Energy: 10

Concentration: 10

Friendliness: 30

Obedience: 0]

The attributes far exceed those of ordinary women. Although not as exaggerated as Yang Wenyu, he obviously exercises regularly. With 12 agility and 13 stamina, he is definitely outstanding among women.

"Mr. Chen?" Wu Xuanxuan on the side thought about Chen Mo's words for a while, and suddenly realized that Chen Mo had not continued speaking. She raised her head and found that Chen Mo was staring directly at her.However, upon closer inspection, his eyes were a little hollow, and he didn't seem to be focused on himself. He probably didn't mean to offend, but was just lost in thought, so he raised his arm and waved his hand in front of Chen Mo.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I just suddenly remembered some personal matters and was in a daze." Chen Mo realized that the way he looked at the attribute panel just now was like staring at the other person's chest, which was quite rude. He quickly explained and apologized, and then changed the subject He pulled back: "So you haven't thought about letting Cheng Xiao leave the team and return to China for development?"

"Normally speaking, it is impossible to withdraw from the group, either from the contract or public opinion, but specifically for the three of Xiaoxiao and the others, it is not necessarily possible." Wu Xuanxuan immediately became clear-headed when talking about these things.

"Three people? What I originally meant was, have you considered the possibility of Cheng Xiao coming back alone? Her popularity should be unique in the country, and the other two seem to be a bit behind." Chen Mo didn't think much about the other two. From my impression, I just remember that their names are Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi. Since I have never met them in person, I don’t pay much attention to them, but their popularity is probably much lower than that of Cheng Xiao.

"Absolutely not! How could you have such an idea?" Wu Xuanxuan became excited again, but Chen Mo gradually adapted to her sudden out-of-character personality, and was not surprised by her anymore, while Wu Xuanyi was completely unconscious Realizing how exaggerated his movements were, he stood up from his chair and said, "We... Although I am a fan of Xiaoxiao, the Chinese team is one, and there is no way to say it is holding us back!"

Chen Mo quickly comforted Wu Xuanxuan, who was in front of her as if a pot was exploding. She drank several sips of water before calming down slightly: "And think about it, three Chinese people are working together in the Korean entertainment industry, and one of them left the other two behind. If the country develops, what will public opinion be like?”

"Well, especially when she has the highest popularity, it is indeed easy to be understood as abandoning her compatriots." Chen Mo thought about the domestic public opinion environment and nodded.

Of course Wu Xuanxuan is not only good at blowing things up, the question she raised is very realistic.

"Don't always worry about who is more popular. Now the three of them must be one." Wu Xuanxuan didn't seem to like talking about Cheng Xiao's relative popularity, which made Chen Mo slightly confused.However, I thought that maybe I was afraid that my fans’ behavior would be elevated to the level of idols by someone who wanted to do it, and then they would criticize me as showing off my popularity, so I didn’t ask any more questions.

"Well... I don't have anything to ask anymore, but in the end it seems that you are the one to answer my questions, why don't you treat me as a treat." Chen Mo thought for a while, and it seemed that he had already asked everything he wanted to know, and Even though I was invited by the other party tonight, in the end I had a lot of questions. I scratched my head and felt a little embarrassed.

"No, what I'm talking about is actually not a big secret within our small circle, but there is no place to look for what you told me. I will keep my promise to keep this matter confidential." Wu Xuanxuan also stood up and followed He walked out of the private room behind Chen Mo.

What surprised Chen Mo was that after Wu Xuanxuan walked out of the hotel, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to take a taxi. He had thought that the other party would at least drive over.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Chen Mo subjectively had no intention of striking up a conversation, but the words seemed to have some meaning.

"Thank you. I won't bother you. I'll take a taxi back. If you have any other news about Xiaoxiao, please tell me. I can pay for it, or whatever." Wu Xuanxuan was more concerned about Cheng Xiao.

"Then I'll wait with you." Chen Mo was originally ready to leave directly, but thinking of the recent cases of missing women in Lianhai, he was still prepared to wait a little longer.

After putting Wu Xuanxuan in the car and writing down the license plate number, Chen Mo immediately walked to a nearby parking lot to pick up the car and go home.

When he was about to open the car door, he suddenly noticed a manila envelope tucked under the wiper.

Looking around subconsciously, he didn't find anyone. Chen Mo picked it up carefully. It seemed to be thick and contained a lot of things.

Sitting on the driver's seat, Chen Mo looked at the front and back of the envelope and didn't write anything.

The opening of the envelope was firmly taped. People in this era rarely kept tools like letter openers. After feeling the approximate thickness of the inside, they tore the envelope directly.

He took out a piece of folded paper and unfolded it to reveal an A4 paper with a letter on it.

The strangest thing is that this letter is not handwritten or typed, but composed of pieces of paper glued together one by one.Judging from the material, these pieces of paper should come from several different newspapers. The font is a Song Dynasty style that can only be seen in some newspapers and old type-printed books.

"I am an insider of Cheng Xiao's case. I have evidence in my hand that Song Qing entered the room with the intention of rape. I don't trust the police, so I give the evidence to you. I hope you can hand it over on my behalf. The contents are all on the USB flash drive in the envelope. inside."

Chen Mo shook the envelope again, and sure enough, a USB flash drive fell out.

Holding the USB drive and staring at it for a while, Chen Mo suddenly felt that he seemed to have been accidentally involved in a very complicated incident, which was far more than just the murder of Cheng Xiao's female assistant.

"Don't trust the police?" Chen Mo started the car with doubts and entered Yang Wenyu's phone number several times along the way, but failed to dial it.

At this time, Lin Jingjing sent a video of the two training each other today, which made Chen Mo hesitate at an intersection whether to go to the Grand Hyatt Hotel to play with these two bitches or go home.Considering that I have not lived at home for several days, even if my parents are very relieved about me, it is not suitable to stay out all night again.

Chapter 58 Daredevil

Chen Kai works the night shift in the hospital today. Zhao Guyu is the only one at home who has taken a shower and is about to go back to the master bedroom. It is far from bedtime, but she likes to watch TV series for a while before taking a rest. There is a TV in the master bedroom now. , she was too lazy to go to the living room again.

Of course, Chen Mo would not sleep at this time, so he went back to his room, uploaded the video of Lin Jingjing and the two, then took out the envelope, put on a glove, took out the USB flash drive and sat in front of the computer. , but after a moment of hesitation, he still didn’t plug it in directly.

He didn't know much about computers, but he had heard of things like computer viruses. A USB flash drive of unknown origin was plugged in rashly, and there were indeed some unsightly things in his computer. This risk Chen Mo hesitated a little.

The old desktop computer was in the old house. There was no second device in the house that could read the USB flash drive, and he didn't know if the content inside had been specially processed.

"How about... or just hand it over to Yang Wenyu?" This idea popped into Chen Mo's mind again.

In the end, he suppressed his curiosity and called Yang Wenyu.
