Chapter 366: Might Be Able To Preserve One’s Youth Forever
The kind and chubby photographer said to Zhu Lin, “Is it Miss Zhu? Can you wait half an hour for the underwater shoot? We’ll shoot the two young ladies first.”
Zhu Lin said, “Sure, hurry up.”
Shi Xi asked, “Can we watch from the side?”
The chubby photographer said, “You can, but you can’t take pictures.”
Shi Xi nodded.
After the discussion, they entered the underwater studio.
When she saw the glass tank, Shi Xi’s expression was complicated.
It wasn’t as big as her fish tank.
Forget it, as long as it looked good.
Shi Xi gave up complaining.
Fortunately, the water in the tank was crystal clear, which made Shi Xi feel much more at ease.
She didn’t want to take photos in dirty water.
Zhu Lin said softly, “This tank looks quite professional.”
Shi Xi said, “I’ll bring you to see my tank next time.”
Zhu Lin: …
It was obviously not the first time the two young ladies had come here. They called each other ‘Brother Fatty’ and ‘Brother Hai.’ When they were shooting, they simply went into the water and followed the cameraman’s instructions.
Shi Xi and Zhu Lin looked at the highlights behind the camera and felt that it was not bad.
These two cameramen were obviously capable.
The two of them sat at the side and discussed each other’s thoughts in a low voice.
“I think it’s probably because the rent outside is too expensive, that’s why they opened their shop here,” Zhu Lin commented.
“Probably. This place looks a little desolate, so the rent is probably very cheap.” Shi Xi nodded in agreement.
The two beautiful ladies chatted and flirted with the cameraman. They were extremely cooperative when they took the photo. It took them more than half an hour to complete the shoot.
Zhu Lin said indignantly, “No one has ever made us wait like this before.”
Shi Xi had become famous after her debut. Who in the industry would dare to make her wait?
“It’s fine. We’re already here.” Shi Xi drank some water and said, “Just treat it as a practice session for sitting on the bench in the future.”
“Bah bah bah! You’ll definitely become famous in the future. You definitely won’t sit on the bench!” Zhu Lin spat a few times superstitiously.
Shi Xi waved her hand. “Female artistes only eat meals when they’re young. In another 20 years, I’ll be old and yellow. I definitely won’t be famous anymore.”
Zhu Lin was speechless.
Shi Xi fantasized, “Maybe I can still be popular for another 30 years. By then, the medical treatments for beauty will definitely be very developed. Maybe I can stay young forever.”
Zhu Lin could not think of how to respond, so she simply said, “I think they’re done filming. I’ll go and ask.”
The two ladies were indeed done filming, but they were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they borrowed the bathroom of the photography studio and prepared to take a shower and change their clothes.
Shi Xi asked Zhu Lin, “Did you bring me a change of clothes?”
“There are clothes in the car, but there’s no shampoo and body lotion,” Zhu Lin added. “There’s also no hair-care oil and body lotion.”
Shi Xi: “Then it’s better to go back and wash.”
Zhu Lin communicated with the cameraman about the desired effect. “I want the natural feeling of a hibiscus emerging from the water…”
The bald cameraman adjusted the camera and interrupted, “Don’t worry, I know how to shoot. Stop pointing and go out to buy two cups of coffee.”
Zhu Lin: ?
The fat cameraman said gently, “Sorry, his personality isn’t very good. I’ll go buy coffee.”
“No need, no need. I’ll go get it.” As an assistant, Zhu Lin was already used to running errands like this.
The bald cameraman said, “Mine doesn’t have milk or sugar. Get more ice.”
The fat cameraman said gently, “Mine has milk and sugar. I don’t want ice.”
Zhu Lin noted it down and said to Shi Xi, “I’ll bring you a cup of fruit juice. Wait for me.”
Shi Xi jumped into the water and thought, ‘Do you really trust me and these two strange men in the same space?’

Chapter 367: Robbery Or S*xual Assault
However, these two photographers didn’t do anything to the young ladies before her. They didn’t even harass them.
She was more at ease.
Shi Xi was only wearing a simple white shirt with a black sling underneath. She looked pure and lustful.
The bald man instructed as he shot, “Wet the hair next to your forehead. Lower your head and tie your hair up with your hands. Don’t move.”
“Yes, that’s right. Look up at the camera. Now look to the right and pretend that there’s something you like there.”
Shi Xi was very cooperative.
After taking a group of photos, the bald man showed Shi Xi a few photos and asked if she was satisfied.
Shi Xi looked at the photos and said in surprise, “You must have learned the composition of light and shadow from the system, right? The photos are so artistic.”
The bald man was embarrassed by the praise and said, “A little.”
“You must have shot a lot of big movies or videos.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved and said, “Take some underwater ones too, right?”
After taking one or two sets of photos, Shi Xi’s vigilance was relaxed.
Even the bald man’s suggestion of unbuttoning a few more buttons was accepted.
In any case, it was for the sake of the overall effect.
Her wet long hair spread out. The girl was floating in the water. Her collar was wide open, revealing her clear collarbone. Under her long, narrow eyelashes, her large, misty eyes were half-closed, like a lost deer.
Who wouldn’t like a girl like this?!
The two cameramen kept taking pictures, and their gazes changed.
The fat cameraman asked, “You’re Shi Xi, right? That rather famous little celebrity?”
Shi Xi said, “Yeah.”
Other than her, who else in the entertainment industry was so beautiful?
“A celebrity. She must be very rich, right?” the bald man muttered to himself.
*
Xiao Tian was lying in the car playing games to pass the time. She did not see Zhu Lin come out.
Zhu Lin, who had gone out to buy coffee, walked around for a long time before she found a coffee shop.
While she was buying coffee, Zhu Lin received a message from Xie Yunzhou’s assistant.
Xie Yunzhou had come to Yanjing. He wanted to ask Zhu Lin where Shi Xi was so that he could give Shi Xi a surprise.
Zhu Lin sent the location to him. “We’ll go back to the hotel after taking the photo. However, Xi Xi still needs to take a shower. We’ll give her a surprise later.”
The other party sent a smile and a thank you.
Zhu Lin replied with a smile.
What a pleasant chat.
After getting Shi Xi’s address, his assistant forwarded it to Xie Yunzhou and suggested that they prepare roses and a candlelit dinner at the hotel where Shi Xi was staying.
Xie Yunzhou glanced at the address and found it somewhat familiar. “What is this place?”
“It’s the hotel where Miss Shi is staying.” The assistant thought, ‘What else could it be?’
“I’m asking about the location you sent. What are they doing there?” Xie Yunzhou’s eyes were cold.
The assistant said, “Zhu Lin said that Miss Shi is taking photos there.”
Xie Yunzhou took a deep breath. “That’s the famous black zone.”
The assistant: ?!
Xie Yunzhou made a prompt decision. “Call the police. We’re going over now.”
The assistant thought that he didn’t really want to go over.
It sounded very dangerous.
Also, why did President Xie know that it was dangerous there?!
The assistant was a little tempted to resign.
On the way, Xie Yunzhou kept calling Shi Xi to send messages. However, Shi Xi’s phone was turned on silent, and she kept floating in the water.
..
In the underwater studio.
The atmosphere was indeed a little tense.
Shi Xi asked in disbelief, “Are you guys trying to rob me of my money, or are you trying s*xual assault?”
“Why can’t we rob both of them?” The fat photographer turned off Shi Xi’s phone and smiled innocently.
Shi Xi looked at his actions and paused for a moment before saying, “…You’re right, but all my money is in my phone.”

Chapter 368: Heroism
The smile on the fat photographer’s face froze.
The bald man said angrily, “F*ck, can’t you grow a brain?”
“If you have a brain, why didn’t you stop me just now?” The fat photographer’s eyes were fierce. “What if she gets her phone and calls the police?!”
The bald man said, “That’s true.”
Shi Xi silently buttoned up her shirt.
“I know you’re a big star,” the fat cameraman said with a lewd smile. “If you cooperate with us obediently and take a good video, you can still continue to be your big star if you pay us on time in the future.”
Shi Xi said, “What if I don’t cooperate?”
The fat cameraman said, “Then I’ll let your bed photos spread all over the internet.”
Shi Xi could not help but say, “Aren’t you guys afraid of being caught? You’ll be sentenced to at least three years for extortion.”
The bald man asked with interest, “How long will s*xual assault be sentenced to?”
Shi Xi explained, “At least three years. If the circumstances are serious, ten years.”
“If you explain it to us, it’s like casting pearls before swine. We’re not afraid.”
Just as the two of them were about to make their move, there was a commotion outside and the sound of gunshots could be heard.
“F*ck, there are cops!”
“F*ck, did she call the police?!”
“Run quickly, don’t bother about it!”
The two of them had already taken off their pants. At this moment, they did not care about anything else. They only wanted to escape from the window.
Shi Xi came out of the water and held up the camera frame in front of the two of them. She smiled and said, “It’s too dangerous outside. You guys should stay here.”
..
In the car.
Xiao Tian was playing her game when she suddenly heard the sound of gunfire. She thought that she was hearing things.
However, when she saw a bunch of people fighting and capturing others, with handcuffs and pistols dancing wildly in the air, Xiao Tian came back to her senses.
Something happened!
She said that this place was not peaceful!
Xiao Tian wanted to get out of the car to look for Shi Xi, but there were gunshots on the street. She lay down and did not dare to open the car door, afraid that she would be implicated.
Zhu Lin finally bought coffee. On the way back, she heard gunshots.
“Is someone married? Why are they setting off firecrackers?” As a young assistant who grew up in a peaceful era, Zhu Lin didn’t recognize the sound of gunshots at all.
She only felt that there was something wrong with the sound of firecrackers.
“Maybe the firecrackers are damp.” Zhu Lin continued to walk forward.
Then, Zhu Lin bumped into a man with a gun who stumbled and ran to her side.
The man could no longer run. When he saw Zhu Lin, he directly took her hostage.
“Don’t come over! If you come any closer, I’ll shoot you! Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!” The man had no choice but to go crazy.
Zhu Lin’s legs instantly went soft.
In an instant, the man and Zhu Lin were surrounded by plainclothes policemen.
“Calm down. This girl is innocent. If you want to leave, we can let you go,” the plainclothes leading the group shouted.
The man hid behind Zhu Lin and retreated step by step. “Get lost! Prepare a car for me now! Hurry up!”
Zhu Lin felt that under such circumstances, she should have died heroically.
But she only cried and shouted, “Sob, sob, sob, sob, give him the car! I don’t want to die!”
She hadn’t spent her money yet!
“Don’t worry, you won’t die.”
Just as Zhu Lin was in despair, a sweet and clear voice came from above.
Everyone looked up.
The moment the man who had kidnapped Zhu Lin looked up, he was knocked unconscious by a black shadow.
Shi Xi looked down from the window on the second floor and said regretfully, “What a pity, the coffee fell to the ground.”
It was a pity that no one below was listening to Shi Xi. They all rushed forward and pressed the man to the ground.

Chapter 369: Dancing On Conservative Feudalism
Xie Yunzhou’s car was forced to stop on the way to support.
Another escaped fish stood in the middle of the road. After forcing Xie Yunzhou’s car to stop, he sat in the back seat and threatened Xie Yunzhou and his assistant with a gun. “Turn around! Send me to the station! Otherwise, I’ll shoot you!”
The assistant saw the gun and his hand kept shaking.
He had been a good student since he was young. He was the best student in the school and had gone to Haicheng University. After graduating, he had worked as Xie Yunzhou’s special assistant and dealt with countless business problems.
But he had never learned what to do when faced with a gun!
The escaped fish shouted sternly, “Drive quickly! Turn around!”
The assistant hurriedly started the car and stepped on the accelerator and braked back and forth.
The escaped fish was shaken by the car until his body leaned forward. In just an instant, Xie Yunzhou grabbed his wrist and snapped it.
“Ah!” The escaped fish had a pained expression and instantly let go of his hand.
..
When Xie Yunzhou rushed over with the escaped fish, the matter had already been settled.
The plainclothes policemen escorted the criminals to the police car and even thanked Shi Xi for her help.
Shi Xi held a camera in her hand and said politely, “It’s nothing. It’s our duty as citizens to eliminate evil for the people.”
Xie Yunzhou walked forward and asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing much. I encountered a strong criminal. The Drug Enforcement Department happened to be catching the criminals, so I helped them knock one out.” After Shi Xi said that, she thought for a moment and said, “It sounds like I was brave.”
“The other party had guns and hostages. Miss Shi helped them and subdued the criminal in an instant.” The captain of the Drug Enforcement Team praised, “This time, it’s thanks to Miss Shi that we were able to catch all the criminals in one go.”
Xie Yunzhou: “…On the way here, I met a person who robbed with a gun. I think he must have slipped through the net.”
The smile on the captain’s face froze for a moment, and he immediately became serious. “Please take me to take a look.”
Xie Yunzhou looked at his assistant.
The assistant forced himself to remain calm and brought the captain to identify the person.
Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“It’s very dangerous here,” Xie Yunzhou said.
“It is very dangerous.” Shi Xi looked at the scene in front of her. “I just learned about it.”
“This is a place where criminals like to gather. I heard that you came here, so I came to look for you,” Xie Yunzhou said. “It’s good that you’re okay.”
Shi Xi smiled. “Don’t worry. I have the ability to protect myself.”
Xie Yunzhou: “They have guns.”
Shi Xi: “…I’m not in the same space as the group of people who have guns.”
Xie Yunzhou wanted to hug the girl, but when he reached out his hand, it landed on the girl’s head and he sighed softly.
Why wasn’t she on guard at all?
Shi Xi turned on the camera in her hand and said, “Although it’s a little dangerous, the pictures they took were pretty good! Take a look!”
Xie Yunzhou’s eyes swept over and his pupils dilated. He gritted his teeth and said, “What kind of messy things are you taking pictures of?!”
“It’s an underwater photo shoot. Isn’t it good?” Shi Xi suspiciously continued to flip through a few more pictures and said, “I think it’s very good!”
If these two people weren’t criminals, they could earn money by filming properly!
Why did they have to go through such an evil path?
“You came here just to shoot this?” The conservative Xie Yunzhou saw Shi Xi’s underwater photo shoot and couldn’t accept it.
“That’s right, my 8 million fan benefits.” Shi Xi insisted on dancing on the conservative feudalism. “I originally wanted to pick out nine photos and post them on Weibo. Now that I look at them, I can post 18!”
Xie Yunzhou: “You still want to post on Weibo?!”

Chapter 370 They Would Have Nothing To Worry About For the Rest of Their Lives
Shi Xi continued to flip through the pictures and said matter-of-factly, “Of course I’m going to post them. I took such a risk to take these pictures!”
Xie Yunzhou took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
There must be another solution.
At this moment, the two photographers were also brought down by the plainclothes.
Whether it was the fatty or the baldy, both of them were beaten into pig heads.
“Hi~” Shi Xi saw the two of them and said with a smile, “Attempted r*pe starts with three years! You are also involved in the attempted extortion. It will probably add on another two years.”
“Don’t worry, I will repay you for taking such a nice photo!”
The baldy’s eyes lit up with hope. “You are not suing us?”
Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “I’ll find a lawyer to let you guys stay in prison for another eight or ten years. After all, there’s food and shelter inside. I hope you guys can live a happy life.”
The bald man instantly became irritable and threatened, “Little **, just you wait! When I get out, I’ll kill you first!”
Shi Xi: “Threatening and blackmail, I can get another two years in prison.”
The plainclothes used a torn towel to cover the bald man’s mouth and escorted him into the car.
Xie Yunzhou swept a cold glance at the two of them and asked, “Are they the ones who want to do something to you?”
Shi Xi nodded. “Yes.”
Xie Yunzhou patted Shi Xi’s head again. “I’ll get a lawyer to handle it.”
“Just help me introduce a lawyer. Thank you.” Shi Xi avoided Xie Yunzhou’s hand and thought to herself, ‘Don’t touch me anymore!’
Her hair was gone!
*
Shi Xi was about to take the camera back when she was stopped by the captain.
The captain said, “Miss Shi, this camera is related evidence. Please hand it over to us for safekeeping.”
Shi Xi blinked. “Sure, but can you wait for me to export the photos inside before giving it to you?”
The captain said, “No.”
Xie Yunzhou said, “I have a computer in the car. I’ll copy the photos for you.”
Shi Xi looked at the captain with anticipation in her eyes. “Is that okay?”
The captain: “…Yes, but I want to watch.”
Xie Yunzhou glanced at the captain and said, “Can you get a policewoman to come over?”
“Cheng Yue, come over for a moment.” The captain called a policewoman over to supervise.
Under the supervision of the policewoman, Xie Yunzhou imported Shi Xi’s photos into his computer.
However, when he was browsing through them, Xie Yunzhou realized that there were many nude photos of other women in the camera.
It seemed that Shi Xi was not the first to step into the trap.
Shi Xi took a glance and looked away. She sighed, “It seems that they won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.”
Cheng Yue: …
Xie Yunzhou: …
Cheng Yue looked at the photos on it and said, “In comparison, Miss Shi’s photos don’t have much of a loss.”
Shi Xi was still wearing her clothes.
The rest of them were naked.
Xie Yunzhou did not say anything. After copying Shi Xi’s photos, he passed the camera to Cheng Yue.
With this evidence, the two of them would never be able to come out again for the rest of their lives.
“By the way, Officer Cheng, can we leave now?” Shi Xi saw that the police car had already left.
Cheng Yue said, “Please leave your contact details. I’ll look for you to make a statement when the time comes.
“Thank you for your help. I’ll help you apply for the pennant.”
Shi Xi’s eyes lit up. “Is there a bonus?”
Cheng Yue: “…If there is, I’ll inform the two of you to come and collect the money.”
The police cars left in an orderly fashion. Cheng Yue took the camera and prepared to return to the police car.
“Officer Cheng,” Shi Xi said when she saw the old woman selling tea eggs on the street. “I think that old woman might know something too. You can ask her for a statement.”
