Chapter 330-335

Chapter 330. Sponsor

Xiao Zhao sighed in relief when she saw no problems with the comments on Kaipuu's official Weibo.

Initially, she was worried that Chen Tong's fans would go to Kaipuu to announce that Ding Shan's Weibo had gone overboard. With Chen Tong's crazy fans, it was entirely possible that they would do something like that.

...

"Sister Shan, you're so proud now. Chen Tong's fans were mocking your fashion resources, but what happened? Let's see if her fans still dare to say that now." Xiao Zhao held her phone and laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

Ding Shan smiled faintly, not taking this matter to heart.

Thinking of something, a look of hesitation and doubt flashed across Ding Shan's face. After some thought, she asked Zhao, "Zhao, did Jeff contact you directly?"

"Yeah, I was also a little surprised at that time. I almost thought that the other party was a scammer. Who knew that Kaipuu sent them? " When Xiao Zhao thought of this, he felt it was unreal. "Sister Shan, I didn't expect that your fame would attract the attention of Kaipuu."

Ding Shan slowly shook her head. She knew that although she was pretty popular now, it was far from enough for a top fashion brand like Kaipuu to extend an olive branch to her.

"I think there might be some inside story. Do you remember? Jeff was casual with me when he signed the contract with us." It wasn't that Ding Shan was psychologically weak. She just felt that if Kaipuu wanted to work with her, Jeff wouldn't be so casual about it. It was as if he didn't care about her at all and had only come to complete a mission.

Jeff must have known that Ding Shan was trying to climb the social ladder by becoming a close friend of Kaipuu's brand. He probably didn't think highly of a famous star like Ding Shan. After all, most of the people who endorsed Kaipuu were top stars who had won international awards.

"It does seem like it, but that doesn't mean anything. It's normal for the staff of a big brand like Kaipuu to be a little arrogant." Xiao Zhao consoled Ding Shan, "Sister Shan, don't mind his attitude. When you're more famous in the future, you can choose any endorsement for any big brand you want!"

Ding Shan smiled. She didn't take Jeff's attitude to heart, but she felt that this cooperation with Kaipuu was a little strange.

"I hope I'm overthinking it." Ding Shan couldn't understand, so she stopped thinking about it.

"By the way, sister Shan, the sponsor has invited you to dinner tonight. They said they wanted to talk to you about the endorsement deal. Do you want to go? " Xiao Zhao flipped through the memo and reminded Ding Shan.

There were a total of three sponsors for 'Idol Creation Camp.' The one who invited Ding Shan to talk about cooperation was a beverage brand called the golden sun. This brand was well-known in the country and could be considered a household name. If the other party were sincere in discussing the endorsement with Ding Shan, the endorsement fee would probably not be low.

Ding Shan took a sip of water and asked Xiao Zhao, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhao knew that Ding Shan must have her thoughts and asked her to test her. Xiao Zhao suddenly sat up straight and seriously thought for a while before saying, "The other party must have taken a fancy to your current popularity, sister Shan. Moreover, you've now accepted the endorsement deal with Kaipuu, so there will only be more big brands looking for you in the future, and the endorsement fee will also increase. As sponsors of variety shows, it's a brilliant choice for them to approach you to discuss cooperation at this time.

Ding Shan nodded. Xiao Zhao smiled and continued, "The other party's offer should be pretty good as well, but I feel that sister Shan doesn't seem to care much about money right now. If you want to make money quickly, when it comes to choosing scripts, you should directly choose those idol dramas and Xianxia (Leisure) dramas that offer high prices.

Xiao Zhao's analysis was very organized. Ding Shan smiled with satisfaction. Xiao Zhao seemed to be working hard to become a qualified manager.

Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and added, "Also, there was some news about this drink some time ago. Although it didn't blow up, who knows if there will be more in the future? So, I think it's fine even if we don't discuss this cooperation."

"You're right, but I still have to go since they've invited me. After all, I'm the program's coach, and they're the sponsors, so I have to give them some face. The other party came to me in good faith to work with me. If I reject them directly, I will offend them and be more troublesome if news of me being a Big Shot gets out." Ding Shan sighed. "Get ready."

Chapter 331. Offense

The sponsor had set the venue at a five-star hotel near the film Park.

Before the banquet, Ding Shan picked out a long-sleeved black dress with a short silver jacket. The combination of black and silver was low-key but luxurious.

...

When they arrived at the hotel, there were three sponsors. Ding Shan had seen one of them before; it seemed to be Wang Shi.

Wang Shi was about 40 years old this year. He was about 1.7 meters tall, slightly chubby, and had a beer belly. His wrinkled face was oily, and his small eyes revealed cunning and guile.

"Miss Ding, this way, please. It's a surprise that Miss ding can come to the banquet. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Wang Shi, and this is Boss Li..."

Both of them walked into the hotel as they talked. Ding Shan had a polite smile on her face. She was about to say a few words to Wang Shi when she realized that Wang Shi was very close to her. She could even smell the man's perfume and a hint of aromatic tobacco.

Ding Shan's eyes turned cold. She took two steps back silently, trying to distance herself from Wang Shi. However, she did not expect Wang Shi to stick to her again.

"Miss Ding, my parents like 'Little City Girl'. They said that if I ever get the chance to see you, I must get your autograph ..." Wang Shi said with a smile.

When they reached the elevator, the people in the elevator came out one after another. Wang Shi reached out as if to put his hand on Ding Shan's waist, seemingly gentlemanly to protect her from being hit by others.

Following behind Ding Shan, Xiao Zhao also felt something was wrong. Before Wang Shi could place his hand on Ding Shan's waist, she pulled Ding Shan behind her and glared at Wang Shi like an angry lioness, "Mr. Wang, please watch your words. Speak when you want to, but don't move your hands."

Wang Shi laughed awkwardly. Behind him, President Li also hurriedly chided Wang Shi, "Director Wang, don't scare Miss Ding."

President Li took the initiative to stand between Wang Shi and Ding Shan, separating them. When the elevator arrived, he said to Ding Shan politely, "Miss Ding, please."

Ding Shan furrowed her brows. At this moment, she didn't want to take this elevator anymore. Wang Shi's eyes that were glued to her made her feel disgusted.

Xiao Zhao's expression was also hideous. She looked at the three of them coldly and said, "Is this your attitude when you talk about cooperation? I'm sorry if that's your attitude, but we don't want to talk anymore."

Upon hearing this, President Li immediately became anxious. He glared at Wang Shi and said to Ding Shan sincerely, "Miss Ding, I'm sorry. Director Wang is usually careless and has accidentally offended you. I apologize on his behalf. I'll let him go immediately if you don't want to see him. We want to talk about cooperation with you. We've arranged the best scenes for you in the commercial. As for the cooperation price, it will not disappoint you!"

President Li's attitude was still acceptable. Xiao Zhao glanced at Wang Shi. "Then please ask Director Wang to keep a distance from our Shanshan. If he does anything overboard, we'll leave immediately."

Since Ding Shan had already come to the hotel, it would be equivalent to having a falling out with the sponsor if she turned around and left. Xiao Zhao was also very clear that no matter what, she had to finish today's meal before leaving.

When Wang Shi heard Xiao Zhao's words, his expression turned ugly. Seeing that Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao had no intention of backing down, he hesitated for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and took a few steps back, keeping his distance from Ding Shan.

Ding Shan coldly looked at Wang Shi, and the group finally got into the elevator.

The air conditioner in the hotel was on, and it was a little hot as they entered. There were already more than a dozen dishes on the table.

Ding Shan placed her handbag on the table, tidied her clothes, and slowly sat down.

"Miss Ding, we don't know what your tastes are. These are the hotel's signature dishes. They should taste good. Try them first." President Li said enthusiastically.

Ding Shan smiled courteously. "I'm not having dinner. President Li, you guys can have dinner."

President Li was stunned. "How can that be? These dishes were all specially ordered for you, Miss Ding. Is Miss Ding still holding a grudge over Director Wang's matter? How about this? Let's have a drink, and this matter will be over. When we reach an agreement, I'll ask Director Wang to bring a gift to apologize to Miss Ding personally. Is that okay?"

As he spoke, the man sitting next to President Li filled the glass in front of Ding Shan.

"Our Shanshan doesn't know how to drink. Mr. Li, aren't you making things difficult for her?" Xiao Zhao frowned and said in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Zhao could also tell that Ding Shan did not eat the food on the table because she was wary of these people.

Chapter 332. Unforeseen Event

"Should I order a glass of juice for Miss Ding?" Wang Shi, silent all this while, looked at Ding Shan and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Ding. I was too offensive just now."

Ding Shan ignored Wang Shi.

...

Xiao Zhao raised her voice and said, "It's fine, our Shanshan isn't such a petty person, and she didn't take Director Wang's matter to heart. It's just that female celebrities all need to maintain their figure, and it's our Shanshan's habit to skip dinner, so please don't force her. You guys go ahead and eat; we'll talk about cooperation while we eat."

Wang Shi stared at Xiao Zhao gloomily; his hands clenched into fists under the table.

Why was Ding Shan's manager so annoying?

Wang Shi forced a smile on his face. "It's fine as long as Miss Ding doesn't blame me. Let me have a drink first to apologize to Miss Ding."

With that, Wang Shi drank a full glass of white wine.

"Director Wang is forthright. Then let's forget about what happened just now." President Li said with a smile. Then, he looked at Ding Shan and talked about the endorsement deal.

"It's like this, Boss Li, " Ding Shan said unhurriedly, "Previously, a beverage endorsement came to me, and I'm currently discussing cooperation with the other party. If I accept your endorsement, I'm afraid there will be a conflict, so ...."

Ding Shan's words weren't false. Before participating in the variety show, a dairy brand invited her to be their spokesperson.

Ding Shan had initially planned to go to the manufacturing factory of this brand to inspect it before deciding if she wanted to accept this endorsement. After all, it was a food endorsement, and it would be a grave matter once something went wrong. She still had to be careful.

The golden sun also had a dairy industry, and the two brands were competitors. A celebrity couldn't endorse two competing brands, so Ding Shan's reason for rejection was reasonable.

President Li and Wang Shi looked at each other, then President Li showed a disappointed look and said regretfully, "Looks like we're still a step too late."

"I'm also very sorry, but I'm very touched by your sincerity in coming to me, so I'm here to explain this matter personally. I hope you can understand my difficulties." Ding Shan said.

Mr. Li nodded. "Of course I understand, Miss Ding. You're being too polite, and I've even troubled you to make a trip here. We may wait for an opportunity to work with Miss Ding. It's fine; even if we can't work together, we can treat this meal as making friends. Let's eat first!"

Ding Shan's way of doing things and her attitude were perfect. President Li couldn't find a single flaw, and he couldn't even think of an excuse to pressure Ding Shan.

The meal was quickly finished. Ding Shan stood up slowly and picked up her handbag. "Thank you for your warm hospitality. I'll take my leave first. I hope there will be more opportunities to work with the Golden Sun."

"Miss Ding, I'll see you off." Ding Shan had just walked to the door when she smelled alcohol. She turned her head and saw that Wang Shi was already approaching her.

Wang Shi had drunk a lot of wine, and his cheeks were red, looking a little tipsy.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Shi became even more unbridled. His eyes kept looking at Ding Shan's chest, and his expression was extremely wretched.

Xiao Zhao was furious. Seeing that Wang Shi was about to pull Ding Shan's hand, she immediately pushed Wang Shi away. "What are you doing?"

"Stinky b*tch, get lost!" Wang Shi had long found Xiao Zhao an eyesore. He grabbed Xiao Zhao's arm and threw her to the ground. Then, he turned his head and pulled Ding Shan's arm, not letting her leave.

Ding Shan knew that this was going to be troublesome. She turned to look at President Li and the other man, only to find that the two men had no intention of stopping Wang Shi.

Seeing that Ding Shan was staring at him, Mr. Li smiled innocently. "Miss Ding, Mr. Wang wants to send you off. Please give him this chance."

Xiao Zhao looked at Mr. Li in disbelief. She thought President Li was a reasonable man, but she didn't expect that this man was pretending all along!

Xiao Zhao got up from the ground and was ready to fight Wang Shi. As long as she could still breathe, she would never let Wang Shi take Ding Shan away!

Just as Xiao Zhao was about to rush forward, Ding Shan stopped her with a look.

Ding Shan slowly gave up her struggle and turned to Wang Shi, "Let go; you're hurting me."

Although Ding Shan had only put on light makeup tonight, she was still gorgeous. Wang Shi felt as if his body was about to float to the sky when she looked at him.

Seeing that Ding Shan had stopped struggling, he thought that Ding Shan would give in. He was ecstatic and immediately let go of Ding Shan's wrist, but his eyes were still fixed on Ding Shan to prevent her from running away.

Chapter 333. Phone Call

"Tell me, how much do you charge for a night? Name your price." Wang Shi said with an authoritative tone.

Ding Shan furrowed her brows. A few guesses flashed through her mind. She asked tentatively, "What did the others tell you?"

...

As expected, the slightly drunk Wang Shi pondered for two seconds. "She said you're not expensive and can be bought with a few million. Shanshan, don't worry; I like you. If you're willing to be with me, I won't mistreat you."

Ding Shan suppressed the anger and suspicion in her heart and said calmly, "Aren't you afraid of your wife finding out?"

Ding Shan had long noticed that Wang Shi was wearing a diamond ring on his ring finger.

Wang Shi put his hands behind his back awkwardly. "Ahem, why would I be afraid of her? Shanshan, I've liked you for many years. Since I found out you're on this show, I especially got the company to transfer me over. You don't know, but I have to look at your picture every night before I can fall asleep."

Wang Shi took out his phone and showed it to Ding Shan. The wallpaper of his phone was a poster of Ding Shan.

Ding Shan was about to vomit from Wang Shi's 'affection'.

Seeing that Ding Shan did not say anything, Wang Shi took out a box from his pocket. "This is a little token of my appreciation to prove I'm serious about you. If you're willing to be with me, I'll buy you anything you like in the future."

Wang Shi stuffed the box into Ding Shan's hands. Ding Shan was not interested in what was in the box and threw the box at him. "Cut the crap. Didn't you say you were giving it to me? Still not leaving?"

Upon hearing Ding Shan's words, Wang Shi's eyes were filled with joy. He thought that Ding Shan had agreed to follow him.

That person didn't lie to him. As long as he paid, he could sleep with any female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Seeing Ding Shan and Wang Shi leave the private room, Boss Li looks at another man. The other man asked in confusion, "It's that easy?"

Boss Li was also a little surprised. After all, he didn't think Ding Shan was the kind of woman who would be attracted to money. This female celebrity was brilliant and vigilant. She wasn't the kind of person who was easy to fool.

"Who cares? as long as we've completed our mission, it's fine. Did you get the photos?" Boss Li asked.

"Yeah, I got it." The man took out his phone and sent an email with two photos taken in the hotel lobby.

"Photos? What picture? Xiao Zhao felt her vision go dark and had a bad feeling.

"What should we do with this woman?" The man looked at Xiao Zhao with a dangerous look.

..

Ding Shan followed Wang Shi to a suite at the hotel's top. As soon as they entered, Wang Shi couldn't wait to hug Ding Shan. Ding Shan pushed Wang Shi, who reeked of alcohol, away and said in disdain, "You're so stinky. Go take a shower."

Wang Shi did not know why, but he liked how Ding Shan looked at him with disdain. This made him want to conquer Ding Shan even more.

All these years, Wang Shi has played with many female celebrities. It was hard for him to be interested in ordinary female celebrities, but when he saw Ding Shan, he felt that he had found the feeling of being moved again.

"Let's shower together." Wang Shi's tone was ambiguous as his lustful eyes fell on Ding Shan's chest, revealing greed and hunger.

"This is the first time we are meeting. You should give me some time to get used to it, right? " Ding Shan looked at Wang Shi coldly. "Don't go overboard."

Wang, You laughed sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be shy. It's okay, there's still a long night ahead of us, and we still have a lot of time to get to know each other ... I'm going to shower. Wait for me, baby. Oh, right, don't even think about escaping. I've arranged for people to guard the door."

Wang Shi went to take a bath. Ding Shan knew that she did not have much time. She hurriedly opened her handbag and took out her phone.

Who should I call? Call the police? If the police were to be sent out, she was afraid that tonight's incident would not be kept a secret. Once word got out, even if she were innocent, she would be unable to explain herself."

Ding Shan didn't want to ruin her career. One Wang Shi wasn't worth giving up the career she had worked so hard to build.

Calling the police would be the worst choice.

Ding Shan decided to settle this matter on her own. At this time, she couldn't think of anyone to help her.

Ding Shan was about to put her phone back into her bag when a note suddenly fell out.

It was the note that Xu Yan had given Ding Shan. On it was the contact information of Mysterious X.

Ding Shan hesitated for a few seconds, but she still dialed the number on the note in the end.

The call went through. Ding Shan did not wait for the other party to speak and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything. Listen to me ...

Not long after, the bathroom door opened.

"Shanshan, I'm done with my shower! Where are you? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" Wang Shi's voice was getting closer and closer. Ding Shan's heart was beating faster and faster. She hurriedly finished her last sentence and hung up the phone.

Chapter 334. Rushing to

A busy tone came from the phone. Xiang Hong's face was frighteningly gloomy, and his whole body exuded a trembling aura. He took his coat and hurried out.

"Old Xiang? Where are you going? What's wrong with you?" Yin Hui's questioning voice came from behind.

...

Yin Hui didn't understand why Xiang Hong became like this after receiving a phone call. It was as if he was going to kill someone. He had never seen Xiang Hong so anxious before. What on earth had happened?

The night was getting darker, and a silver car was speeding on the empty street.

The car was at its maximum speed, and the navigation's mechanical voice kept indicating that it was speeding.

Both of Xiang Hong's hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, indicating that he was in a precarious state of mind.

Ten minutes ago, when he picked up the phone, he heard Ding Shan's voice. After a moment of disbelief, his heart started to beat faster.

However, before he could be surprised, Ding Shan said, "I don't know who to look for. I shouldn't have looked for you. I don't even know your name. Cut the crap; I'm in trouble now. I'm in room 2617 of the Wisteria Hotel ...

The situation is roughly like this. If you can contact Yin Hui, ask him to bring people to the hotel immediately. I am the program's supervisor, and he is responsible for ensuring my personal safety. Also, don't call the police, for now; thank you ..."

After saying this, a man's voice came from the phone. It should be the man named "Wang Shi" that Ding Shan had mentioned. The man's voice was disgusting and greasy as if he was slowly approaching Ding Shan. Ding Shan hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Dammit! Hurry up!" Xiang Hong smacked the steering wheel hard, his eyes bloodshot and burning with anger.

Xiang Hong did not even dare to imagine Ding Shan's current situation. She was just a weak woman. What could she do to protect herself? Perhaps now she ...

When he thought of this, Xiang Hong felt his heart was tightly clenched by an invisible hand. The suffocating feeling and the pain caused his body to tremble slightly.

"Little fox, wait for me. Don't let anything happen to you. I beg you ..." Xiang Hong stepped on the accelerator, and the silver car flashed past like a lightning bolt.

..

The 26th floor of the hotel was tranquil.

There were two strong bodyguards in black suits standing at the door of a room.

Suddenly, the elevator door opened, and a man walked straight over.

When the two bodyguards realized that this person's target was "Room 2617", they immediately extended their hands to stop him. One of the bodyguards nimbly swung out his fist extremely fast.

However, the man was even faster. After dodging the fist, he separated the other man's arm. His movement was so quick that only an afterimage could be seen.

In less than 30 seconds, the two professional bodyguards fell to the ground, wailing in pain. Their bodies were curled up like cooked lobsters, convulsing non-stop.

Xiang Hong's eyes turned red as he slammed his fist on the door.

"Don't smash it, Mr. Xiang; use the room card to open the door ..." The hotel's front desk receptionist, who had taken the spare room card, came out of the elevator and ran to Xiang Hong's side, panting. She then handed the room card to him.

Oh my God, is this the legendary young master of the Xiang Group? She could see such a legendary figure ...

Xiang Hong scanned the room card, turned his head, and said in a gloomy tone, "Stay here. If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today ..."

The hotel receptionist shook her head frantically, but before she could make a promise, the man had already rushed into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiang Hong smelled the stench of blood. His heart sank, and he immediately rushed into the bedroom.

The bed was very messy, the quilt and sheets were all crumpled up, and a man in pajamas was lying on the bed, motionless, his legs hanging weakly by the side of the bed.

Where's Ding Shan?

Xiang Hong's voice was hoarse as he said, "Ding Shan!"

Ding Shan raised her head in the corner and saw a man walking towards her. She moved her lips, but before saying anything, the man pulled her into his arms.

Her body was warm, and the man's embrace was filled with a sense of security. Ding Shan's tensed body relaxed at once. She leaned against the man's broad and firm chest and said softly, "Why is it you? Didn't I ask you to look for Yin Hui?"

Xiang Hong tightened his arms around Ding Shan as if he would only be at ease if he could have her in his body. His voice was hoarse, and there was a trace of anxiety and bitterness. "You don't believe me that much?"

Ding Shan couldn't understand the man's anxiety. She even thought that he was acting strange. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xiang Hong realized that his tone was too anxious.

He was just depressed that the first person Ding Shan thought of was Yin Hui.

Forget it; all these were not important. It was good that she was okay.

Xiang Hong lowered his head and rubbed it against Ding Shan's soft hair. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry I'm late,

I wasn't able to appear at the moment you needed me the most."

Chapter 335. Already Planned

Ding Shan could feel the man's passion that was about to overflow. After returning to her senses, she realized she had been greedy for his firm and warm chest.

Ding Shan coughed awkwardly and struggled free from Xiang Hong's arms.

...

Only then did Xiang Hong notice that Ding Shan's hair was messy and her clothes were wrinkled. She looked very messy.

Xiang Hong looked at Wang Shi coldly and said in a gloomy tone, "He touched you?"

Ding Shan recalled what had happened in the room and felt a trace of panic in her heart. She took a deep breath and slowly shook her head. "I'm fine."

Wang Shi saw that Ding Shan was weak and thought she could not resist. He did not expect that Ding Shan had been trained by a professional in martial arts.

Wang Shi's body was bloated, and his reaction was slow, so he couldn't subdue Ding Shan immediately. As Ding Shan retaliated, she picked up the decorative vase on the bedside table in the room and smashed it on Wang Shi.

Wang Shi fell on the bed, blood flowing from his forehead. His body twitched twice before he stopped moving.

Ding Shan was also frightened then and almost thought she had accidentally killed someone. She suppressed her panic and tried to detect Wang Shi's aura. When she found he was still alive, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Wang Shi's men were still guarding the hotel room door. Ding Shan could not leave immediately, so she could only stay in the room for the time being.

Not long after, she saw Mysterious Person X rushing in.

Ding Shan had only hoped that Mysterious Person X would ask Yin Hui for help, but she didn't expect him to come alone.

"How did you get in? Are you hurt?" Ding Shan looked at Xiang Hong nervously. When she found no apparent external injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiang Hong smiled at her. His eyes seemed to have stars shining, and he raised his beautiful eyebrows. "Worried about me?"

Ding Shan looked into the man's eyes and felt she was about to be sucked in. She looked away and tried to keep her voice calm. "After all, I'm the one who asked you for help. If you get hurt because you helped me, I'll blame myself. Anyway, thank you. I'll remember this favor."

When he heard Ding Shan's polite words, Xiang Hong knew that the relationship between the two of them had not become closer. However, this incident finally connected the two of them. He was still pleased about this progress.

However, he hoped that such a thing would not happen again. No matter how strong his heart was, he could not stand such a shock. He did not want to see her in any accident.

"I don't know where they took my manager. I'll be leaving first." Ding Shan was worried about Xiao Zhao's condition and was ready to go and find her.

"Wait, I'll help you find her. How long will it take you to find her alone? It'll be more troublesome if someone sees you." Xiang Hong stopped Ding Shan and instructed the hotel's front desk. He made two phone calls and then led Ding Shan to the hotel's surveillance room.

After checking the surveillance cameras, they quickly found that Xiao Zhao was locked up in a utility room on a floor. Ding Shan hurried over.

After opening the storage room door, Xiao Zhao cried and threw himself into Ding Shan's arms. She then hurriedly checked if Ding Shan was injured.

"Sister Shan, are you okay? You scared me to death; I thought ..." Xiao Zhao kept crying. "It's all my fault. I should have taken you away in the hall. If we had left back then, none of this would have happened."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Seeing that Xiao Zhao was not injured, Ding Shan heaved a sigh of relief and patiently consoled Xiao Zhao.

"Oh right, sister Shan, I heard them talking about some photos. They must have planned this long ago!" Xiao Zhao wiped her tears and said anxiously.

Photos? Ding Shan frowned.

"Hey, who's that person at the door?" Xiao Zhao saw a tall man standing at the door and asked with some vigilance.

"He ... It's Mysterious Person X. He helped me today." Seeing the confusion and shock in Xiao Zhao's eyes, Ding Shan knew she couldn't explain it quickly. She just had to make Xiao Zhao believe in the Mysterious Person X.

"You're right. They must have planned this a long time ago. Besides, I'm guessing that they've already started carrying out their plan in the hall."

If Wang Shi only wanted to get Ding Shan, he did not need to do those wretched and disgusting things to Ding Shan in the hall. That would only alert Ding Shan in advance.

Then why did he do that?

Ding Shan guessed in her mind, but she wasn't sure.
