After hanging up, Ye Peicheng casually put away his phone, glanced towards Qiao Moyu and lightly called: “Let's go.”
Qiao Moyu noticed his call and followed after him. The two of them went backstage together.
At the front of the stage, the lights shone down as the director led the actors out.
All of the fans were dressed in the same costumes as the characters in drama. Since “Sheng Shi” had already aired its finale, it was a time where everyone was immersed in the drama but were unwilling to part with it. As a result, the fans below the stage erupted in excitement.
It should be mentioned that Xing Wanshuang's team had learned their lesson when Qiao Moyu ended up taking the limelight from them. So this time, they prepared well. Xing Wanshuang's fans came in crowds, every single one of them filled with enthusiasm. For a moment, it was as if the venue had become her hometown.
On the other hand, Qiao Moyu's side appeared somewhat cold and cheerless.
The interview and interaction segment was held at the front of the stage. Since this was a thank-you meeting, this was more moderate and organized compared to the previous fan meeting that was filled with publicity.
It wasn't until the interaction segment that the atmosphere among the fans reached its climax.
Since there wasn't enough space on this side of the venue, it was proposed to continue the event on the other side. Just as the crowd was about to leave, a staff member came to Qiao Moyu's side and whispered to her, “Miss Qiao, President Xing wants to see you. He's waiting for you there.”
Qiao Moyu looked curiously at the woman before her and then glanced at Xing Wanshuang who stood at the front of the stage. Xing Wanshuang turned her face slightly. Although she seemed to be talking to the director, she was actually looking in her direction.
In an instant, Qiao Moyu's and Xing Wanshuang's eyes locked. Rather than panicking, Qiao Moyu decided to follow the woman and pretend to be happy: “Is the CEO there? Does he want to see me now? ”
“Right now.” The woman lightly pursed her lips as she spoke.
Thus, while the cast and crew headed towards the other side of the venue to mingle with fans, Qiao Moyu and Xing Yichen secretly went in another direction.
Qiao Moyu was dressed in an ancient costume with wide sleeves. When she used them to open up her cell phone's screen, no one noticed at all.
In the past, she once tried using the live broadcast room online. However, since she rarely went on the internet, she only had about a thousand fans.
At that moment, Qiao Moyu quietly logged on and quickly switched to live broadcast mode.
She walked all the way through the dark alley and arrived at the place that the woman had pointed out.
Under the dim light, a man stood with his back facing Qiao Moyu. He stood tall and straight, his clothing showing off his elite physique.
Was Xing Yichen really there? Qiao Moyu didn't believe so. Her gaze swept up and down, but she didn't find anything special. As such, she still needed to further verify the other person's intentions.
“I wonder what President Xing wants from me? What instructions did you have for me?” Qiao Moyu asked loudly.
The man continued to stand with his back facing her. He said indifferently, “Moyu, you told me back then that you always wanted to be with me. I'll give you this chance right now.”
Qiao Moyu felt even more puzzled. She pretended to be pleasantly surprised and asked, “Really? Then what do you want me to do?”
The man replied: “There's only the two of us here. Take off your clothes and let me see the imprint on your body.”
'Hehe, do you really think of me as a fool?' Qiao Moyu was speechless at how brainless this Xing Wanshuang was. However, when she carefully considered it, this seemed to be the easiest method to tarnish her reputation.
It was obvious that a camera was planted nearby that would record how Qiao Moyu snuck in to see Xing Yichen. This would be evidence that she takes off her clothes to seduce him.
Inevitably, the camera would only record the images without a sound. As a result, Xing Wanshuang can arrange the rest of the lines as she pleases.
Qiao Moyu guessed that this man, who had his back turned towards her, was probably not Xing Yichen. After all, how can the Xing family's CEO be willing to be the bait for a lowly trap?!
Chapter 91
As she stared at the man's back, Qiao Moyu replied: “Okay.”
At this moment, the fans at the live broadcast who wondered why it was so dark suddenly exploded when they heard this conversation.
As a result, the online chat room went crazy…
“Sister Moyu, what are you doing? Am I hearing things? Is this really your voice!”
What the hell is going on? Why does it sound like a scandal?”
“Heavens, President Xing?! Is this really President Xing of the Xing family? Isn't he Qiao Ruohuan's boyfriend?”
“A man like him who already has a girlfriend is still thinking of other women?”
“Shouldn't we see see Qiao Moyu's intentions? She's obviously teasing him with her reply while recording the whole thing to show that this man is someone who seduces other women!”
“This is too much, OMG! This recording was definitely taken in secret! This is the best gossip of the year in entertainment!”
People frantically typed comments as more and more people joined in the live broadcast room. Those who caught wind of the news also began to gather.
Thus, the number of people in the live broadcast room increased at an insane level–from the first few hundred, to the last several thousand, until it finally piled up to over ten thousand.
At the screen, only the back of a man could be seen. Since it was secretly filmed, the screen shook a bit, but that didn't hinder the audience from continuing to watch.
A few minutes later, the rustling sound of clothes being taken off can be heard, followed by Qiao Moyu's shy and timid voice, replying: “Do you think that's okay?”
At the broadcast, the screen exploded with comments.
“What the heck, how cheap is that?! Did she really take it off? Aren't the outdoors right now? Are they planning to 'do it' out in the fields?!”
“To think that I once considered Qiao Moyu to be as beautiful as a fairy. But in the end, she's someone dirty inside!”
“Yeah, who knows how many peole have used her body before! So disgusting!”
“Actually, I really want to see her strip naked! Ah, quickly switch to a better lens!”
“Ready your tissues! Prepare to see her C-cup! And her peach butt!”
“Quick, quick, quick! I can't wait any longer!”
At this moment, the camera finally stopped shaking. The man onscreen slowly shifted his gaze towards her.
His mocking expression turned into astonishment after seeing Qiao Moyu's image. He was frozen shocked on the spot. As the audience stared back at his face, they noticed that it was completely different from Xing Yichen's!
Qiao Moyu instantly understood. It seemed that Xing Wanshuang wanted to record her undressing before a man. Therefore, it didn't matter who the man was. The only way she can convince the original host to strip was by seducing her with a man who's back view was extremely similar to Xing Yichen's!
Unfortunately…
Just now, Qiao Moyu had tied her cellphone to a tree. Afterwards, as soon as she stepped forward, her figure also appeared on screen.
Both the man and the online fans noticed that her clothes were not the slightest bit messy and her hair was still tied up in a ponytail.
Seeing that she wore her simple robes, everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned.
“What's going on? Did she say that she was going to take off her clothes? Why is she still wearing them?”
“Yeah, didn't she reply that she already took it off? And why isn't that man Xing Yichen?”
“Could it be that Qiao Moyu discovered this man wasn't Xing Yichen, so she didn't take it off?”
Just as everyone was confused, Qiao Moyu had already rushed in front of the man.
Her body blocked the camera's view, so no one saw her toss a small stone at him. The rock smashed directly at the man's most sensitive region with a ferocious and accurate force.
Qiao Moyu saw the man's pained expression and the killing intent in his eyes.
“Aah, what are you doing?” she pretended to be afraid and took two steps back. It looked as if she was about to run away.
However, the man grabbed hold of her arm and swung his fist towards her.
“Ahh, help, he's trying to kill me!” Qiao Moyu shouted as she dodged. She then raised her leg and kicked the man directly. Obviously, he never expected her legs to be so quick and fierce; he couldn't dodge it in time and ended up dropping down to his knees.
Chapter 92
The man got back on his feet and was about to counterattack.
Although Qiao Moyu didn't have any props or any wires to hold her up, her consecutive kicks in mid-air landed squarely on the man's shoulder and chest, sending him flying once again before falling on the ground.
He tried to get up, but the pain was so excruciating as his bones nearly broke. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Qiao Moyu landed steadily on the ground. Under the light, her jet black hair, snow white skin and plain clothes emanated a heroic aura.
She somersaulted in the air and landed beside the man, before placing a foot firmly on the man's chest: “Who told you to pretend to act as Xing Yichen and seduce me?”
The man glared at her fiercely without replying.
“If you don't tell me, I'll call the police!” Qiao Moyu praised herself for provoking the man's bad temper earlier. She raised a brow and said, “You were the one who attacked me first!” Earlier, the two of them were so close that no one would've noticed how she attacked him first with a stone, even if there was another camera recording them.
The man on the ground was in such pain that he couldn't utter a word. Qiao Moyu simply placed a foot over his chest, but he had no idea why it felt as if the foot weighed over a thousand pounds! Gradually, he seemed to hear the sound of his own ribs cracking!
He accepted the job for the sake of money, not so that he would end up spending a few months in the hospital.
That was why he only resisted for half a minute before finally confessing: “It was a woman who sent me money along with a photo of Xing Yichen. She asked me to act out his role, promising that as long as you take off your clothes, she would hand me another sum.”
“Who is that woman?” Qiao Moyu asked.
“I don't know, I only have her phone number.” As he spoke, the man fished out his cell phone with difficulty and presented a call number.
Qiao Moyu released him and took his cellphone, then called the police.
Over at the livestream room, the fans were completely in shock.
“OMG, what happened was actually a trap!”
“Seems like our big sister Moyu was wrongly accused!”
“AAAHHH, my goddess was so cool when she beat up that scoundrel! Goddess, I'll turn homo for you!”
“Yes, this is the live version of our heroine. It's the best gift for Sheng Shi drama's 'Thank You' meeting!”
“Sister Moyu, I'm your fan! Definitely!”
“That call number just now is unbelievable, cuz I know exactly who it is! That's the cell number for Xing Wanshuang's assistant!”
“To the commenter above, are you sure?”
“I'm 100% sure! I've interacted with the drama crew before and her assistant contacted me once. I checked my phone's contact list and found that it's exactly the same!”
“OMG! Xing Wanshuang actually used such a method to stain Qiao Moyu's reputation? What's she trying to do?!”
“Haven't you noticed that Xing Wanshuang's reputation in 'Sheng Shi' was completely destroyed by Qiao Moyu?”
“Xing Wanshuang has everything. She's rich, has status and beauty, and yet she uses this kind of dirty method to smear a novice celebrity who has no status but is more beautiful than her. This kind of behavior…”
“Hahaha, this is definitely an incredible drama!”
"Oh yes, quickly check out today's live broadcast of 'Sheng Shi' fan meeting. Xing Wanshuang is interacting with her fans, and some have even asked her why Qiao Moyu wasn't there. She actually said that Qiao Moyu may have gone to meet her friends! Look at her expression when she answered that question!”
“Hahahaha, I'm afraid she has no idea what's happening over here!”
Amidst everyone's discussions, Qiao Moyu switched off the livestream, took her phone that was hidden up on the tree, and then confidently made her way to the fan meeting venue.
Since Xing Wanshuang was kind enough to send someone in 'search' of her, Qiao Moyu planned to return the favor tonight!
This was simply the intro. When the program 'I'm Not Just an Actor' starts filming, everything will officially begin.
In the past, the Xing siblings had wronged the original host. On behalf of the previous 'Qiao Moyu', she planned to return the favor one by one!
