Lin Wan suddenly thought that sometimes looking at the replies on Weibo could be a really fun experience. Just by looking for a little while, she had already burst into laughter on the sofa several times.
It was truly a sea of joy.
As time slowly ticked by, it was finally time for the company's annual party.
The company had specifically chosen a very delicious buffet restaurant for the annual party, considering the different preferences of the authors.
Lin Wan tidied herself up at home, put on a light makeup, and wore a black - and - white spliced dress that had been at the bottom of her closet. She looked very elegant, which matched her current identity perfectly.
She took a taxi after leaving home. On the way, Lin Wan received a call from her editor, Juzi.
Juzi seemed a bit strange today. She stammered and asked Lin Wan where she was. After learning that Lin Wan was already in the taxi, she fell silent for a few seconds and then quickly told her to change the drop - off location.
Lin Wan was extremely puzzled, but she still did as she was told.
Juzi didn't explain the reason. She just told Lin Wan to be careful on the way and to go back immediately without hesitation if she saw any suspicious people.
"Got it," Lin Wan said with a smile and a nod, but she didn't really take it to heart.
"You know nothing!" Lu Zhihang suddenly threw the clothes in his hand onto the nearby box and stared at the new agent with small eyes in front of him.
The new agent was greatly startled by the noise, and his face looked rather ugly.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated softly. Lu Zhihang took out his phone and checked it. His eyes instantly froze.
"Hu Weisheng, you dare to screw me over!" The next second, Lu Zhihang reached out and grabbed the new agent by the collar, gritting his teeth as he spat out the words.
Hu Weisheng was stunned for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. But when he saw the message on Lu Zhihang's phone, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Lu, Brother Lu..." Hu Weisheng swallowed hard. As his Adam's apple bobbed, he suddenly grabbed Lu Zhihang, who was about to open the car door.
"Let go of me!" Lu Zhihang shook him off, signaled the driver in front, and took out his phone to make a call.
"Brother Yan... It's okay. Are you guys behind me?"
"Hey, I'm in urgent need of a car. Can I borrow yours? Please go back in this car with me. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow." Lu Zhihang finished speaking quickly and then got out of the car directly.
The black sedan stopped on the highway. Soon, another car pulled up beside it. A man in a white shirt lazily got out of the car with his agent and driver.
The car keys made a beautiful parabola in the air. Yue Yan smiled and said, "Remember you owe me a meal."
Lu Zhihang reached out to catch the keys, nodded absent - mindedly, got in the car, and drove away at full speed.
Yue Yan watched the car disappear in the distance. Then he turned around and casually glanced at Hu Weisheng, who looked as white as a sheet in the car. He had an impression of this guy. He was Lu Zhihang's new agent, who seemed to have been transferred after the last concert. He had only been out with Lu Zhihang for one day and had already managed to anger him. He really didn't know his place.
Yue Yan let out a snort with an unclear meaning. He got in the car, sat in the back row, and said to the driver in the front row with a smile, "Brother, I'll have to trouble you again. It's still the old address."
The driver, Lao Liu, smiled, nodded, and restarted the car.
"Young people should be more observant. It's better not to provoke some people," Yue Yan said casually with a smile.
No one knew who he was talking to, but everyone could see that Hu Weisheng's face had turned even paler. Probably out of fear, his body trembled slightly.
Lin Wan never thought that she would be cornered one day. So when she noticed a bustling crowd in front of her, she stood there stunned for a long time. By the time she realized she should run, it was already too late.
The scene was a bit chaotic. Lin Wan couldn't tell at first whether the people rushing towards her were reporters, fans, or a combination of both.
The flashlights flashed in front of her eyes, blinding her with a white light. She blinked several times but it didn't get any better. She just stood there blankly.
She was not far from the destination of the annual party. She could faintly see a few well - known figures in the literary circle stop and look in her direction.
"Miss Lin, we've heard that you're already in a relationship with Mr. Lu Zhihang, is that true?"
"Miss Lin, we've received information that your article's earnings have increased significantly after your identity was exposed. Is there another hidden reason for your relationship with Mr. Lu?"
"Miss Lin, please answer our question. Did you post about your daily love life with Mr. Lu on Weibo just to show off?"
...
The voices of the reporters were the first to reach Lin Wan's ears, but she heard them without understanding a single word.
At the same time, along with the reporters' voices, like a background noise in the chaos, some curses gradually reached her ears.
"Lin Wan, how can you be so shameless? It's so annoying to show off our Mr. Lu like this. Are you crazy about getting famous?"
"Why don't you just die? You're a disaster living in this world!"
"How can you be so shameless? How dare you post such things on Weibo? Who gave you the courage?!"
...
The voices were all mixed up. Lin Wan was not only surrounded but also pushed around by someone she didn't know. Gradually, the voices in her ears turned into a buzzing tinnitus, as if there were ten million bees flying around her ears non - stop, making it impossible for her to have any peace.
Lin Wan staggered in place. The night lights and the reflections on the microphones in front of her eyes merged into a dazzling blur. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, biting her lips tightly and unable to say a single word.
At this moment, she remembered Juzi's advice.
Juzi had told her to issue a statement to warn the out - of - control fans, but she hadn't listened. So this was the consequence she was facing today.
Going back further, if she hadn't had that sudden inspiration and posted those Weibo posts, she wouldn't have met these people today...
At this moment, Lin Wan was once again slapped in the face by her own arrogance and immaturity. The feeling of helplessness slowly spread deep in her heart. Without warning, she thought of Lu Zhihang and that smiling face that always made her feel safe instantly. Her heart seemed to be tightening.
Fine beads of cold sweat gradually oozed from her forehead.
The scene around her was spinning. The picture in front of her eyes kept shaking, as if it were a system on the verge of collapse. Lin Wan felt as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall into the abyss at any moment.
Just when everything was about to spiral out of control, the crowd suddenly became noisy again, accompanied by many surprised screams that pierced through the night.
