The photographers had already hailed a ride-hailing car. Xu Qingqing quickly flagged down a moving taxi and pointed at the black ride-hailing car that had just pulled away.
"Please follow that car!"
The taxi driver was startled by Xu Qingqing, who had suddenly rushed out. Fortunately, he wasn't driving fast and was able to brake in time.
After Xu Qingqing got in the car, the driver kept complaining, "If I hadn't braked in time, I would have hit you. Be more careful next time!"
Xu Qingqing knew her behavior just now was wrong, but she was so worried about losing track of the photographers that she'd acted in a hurry.
"Thank you, sir. I won't do this again."
The driver grunted as he started the car. The current situation reminded him of a scenario where a wife was trying to catch her cheating husband. There was a hint of gossip in his tone.
"Miss, why are you following them?"
"Is something going on?"
Xu Qingqing saw the driver's eager eyes in the rearview mirror and quickly came up with an excuse.
"He cheated on me and is now with another man. So I want to follow them and catch them red-handed!"
Hearing such a juicy and unexpected story, the driver couldn't help but be shocked. Filled with enthusiasm, he assured Xu Qingqing,
"Don't worry, miss. I'll follow them closely. There's no way they'll get away!"
With that, the driver stepped on the accelerator and sped up.
"Thank you, sir."
Xu Qingqing thanked him awkwardly, feeling so embarrassed that she could have dug a three - bedroom apartment with her toes.
The two photographers, of course, never expected that Xu Qingqing, who had already left, would come after them. Without any attempt to hide, they had the ride-hailing car drive straight to the entrance of the Dongshan Mountains.
When Xu Qingqing saw that they had indeed arrived at the Dongshan Mountains, her face instantly turned cold.
She asked the driver to stop at a street corner, quickly paid the fare, and got out of the car.
The kind - hearted driver even rolled down the window and asked, "Do you want me to wait for you here?"
He was secretly hoping to watch the exciting drama!
Xu Qingqing waved her hand to decline and then rushed angrily towards the mountain entrance.
The two photographers walked while carefully pointing their video cameras at the various traps hidden among the trees, muttering to themselves. Their voices weren't muffled, so Xu Qingqing, who was following behind, could hear every word clearly.
"The director said that if we can successfully film Yang Tianfu, he'll give us a raise!" the tall photographer said excitedly.
"Maybe we'll even become famous after filming Yang Tianfu!" the short photographer laughed, daydreaming about his future as if he had already become a well - known figure.
Xu Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to rush up and knock these two guys down.
They were really going too far!
She had paid for their trips and treated them to big meals, but they had stabbed her in the back!
Especially the director. He was actually the mastermind behind this!
The contract clearly stated that they were not allowed to film anything that the actors didn't permit. But they had knowingly violated it. Were they trying to force her to sue them?
Xu Qingqing suppressed her anger, her beautiful peach - blossom eyes covered with a layer of frost. She turned on the video recording function on her phone and pointed it at the two photographers. She walked while filming.
When they reached the entrance of Yang Tianfu, the two photographers moved furtively, skillfully avoiding the surveillance cameras. It was obvious that they had scouted the area in advance.
Xu Qingqing followed them while hating herself for not noticing their plan earlier. Otherwise, they might have succeeded.
Just then, the security guard at the entrance was called by the staff inside to help carry something, leaving the entrance unguarded.
The two photographers pressed themselves tightly against the rock wall and sneaked inside.
Xu Qingqing seized the opportunity and rushed up, pushing the two of them to the ground.
The two photographers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Their cameras also dropped.
Xu Qingqing rushed up like lightning, stomped the cameras into pieces, and kicked the fragments away.
"You two have gone too far! You even wanted to secretly film Yang Tianfu!"
"The contract clearly states that you're not allowed to film anything that the actors don't agree to. You're violating the contract!"
The two photographers didn't care about the contract. They only saw their cameras being kicked away by Xu Qingqing, and their dreams of wealth were shattered.
Suddenly, the two men looked at Xu Qingqing as if she were their sworn enemy. Without any manners, they reached out to push her.
The tall photographer stared down at Xu Qingqing menacingly, sticking his finger into her head. His nails were sharp and hard. Xu Qingqing felt as if her scalp was about to break.
"You broke our cameras. You have to compensate us!"
"Exactly! You let foreigners in. Why can't we go in and film? Aren't you just being a foreign - sycophant?"
The short photographer also tried to smear Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing was so angry at their sophistry that her whole body trembled. "Who are you calling a foreign - sycophant?"
"I've already explained why Mr. Smith was allowed in. You're not deaf, are you?"
"That's still not okay!"
The two photographers, relying on the fact that their things had been broken by Xu Qingqing, started to make trouble for her.
"Either you compensate us and take us into Yang Tianfu to film, or we'll definitely post on the Internet to expose your true face!"
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing sneered, her eyes cold.
She wasn't easily intimidated. She preferred gentle persuasion to coercion, and no one had ever been able to force her to do something through threats!
"You can just wait for my lawyer's letter!"
The tall photographer was very disdainful. "But what evidence do you have to prove that we violated the contract? We were just taking a walk on the mountain!"
They had carefully avoided the surveillance cameras to make sure they wouldn't be caught on tape.
Xu Qingqing waved her phone and put it in her pocket.
"I've already recorded what you just did. This is the evidence!"
The two photographers' faces instantly turned green. They never expected that Xu Qingqing would have recorded them.
The tall photographer, relying on his height, reached out to grab Xu Qingqing's phone.
Seeing his malicious look, Xu Qingqing kicked him hard in the groin.
With almost all her strength, she heard a cracking sound. Then she turned around and ran, shouting, "Help! There are two bad guys here! Help!"
The tall photographer had been determined to catch Xu Qingqing. But he didn't expect the kick to be so painful that the veins on his forehead bulged. He fell to the ground in pain, curling up his body and twitching all over.
The short photographer looked at his companion's miserable state. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his groin, as if he could feel the pain too. For a moment, he didn't know whether to help his companion or catch Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing's shouts alerted the staff and security guards inside Yang Tianfu. The security guards quickly ran over, and Xu Qingqing hid behind them, pointing at the tall and short photographers.
