She had to go see Sister Lin He and tell her about her original work being plagiarized!

“Shu’er!” Lu Si hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her back to her seat.

The journalists from the news media heard the commotion and instinctively turned their cameras towards the two of them and pressed the shutter.

Lu Si frowned.

Jiang He immediately understood and went to whisper something to the photographer before returning. “Master Si, the photos have been deleted.”

Lu Si steadied Mei Shu with one hand while handing his VIP card to him. “Take this and go find Lin He. Tell her that her White Swan Dance has been preemptively performed by someone in front of the audience, and she needs to come up with another dance quickly.”

“No, I want to go find Sister Lin He myself.” Mei Shu still insisted on going.

She was sweating profusely, realizing that in the prearranged situation tonight, she wouldn’t be the only target.

“You can’t walk like this now. Let Jiang He go, he can explain it clearly.” Lu Si gave Jiang He a quick glance.

Jiang He immediately understood. “Miss Mei, please rest assured. I will convey your message.”

Without giving Mei Shu a chance to object again, he turned and walked towards the elevator.

Mei Shu helplessly sat back in her chair. “I’m worried that my trouble will affect Sister Lin He.”

“How are you sure that her dance being plagiarized is because of you?” Lu Si squinted his eyes, suddenly understanding the situation. “The people targeting you tonight are from the Ruan family, right? Is it Ruan Dong?”

Mei Shu sighed deeply, admitting, “Yes.”

Lu Si understood, then looked back at the stage. “Doesn’t Teacher Feng recognize this dance?”

Originally, it should have been Lin He’s original creation, a dance she had trained tirelessly for, but now someone else was performing it on stage. There was no reason for Teacher Feng to remain silent.

“It’s because Teacher Feng doesn’t know. That’s why I’m so anxious.” Mei Shu’s gaze also shifted to RuAh Ningwho was currently receiving scores from the judges.

Lin He had been training privately with Teacher Feng on basic skills, but before this competition, she had decided to surprise Teacher Feng, to show her that all her hard work hadn’t been in vain, to let her know she hadn’t chosen the wrong daughter.

So, this dance was Lin He’s private creation, never shown to anyone except Mei Shu.

Lu Si thought for a moment. “Don’t worry too much. It might not necessarily be directed at you. After all, apart from violating Lin He’s rights, this matter won’t have any impact on the Mei family.”

Mei Shu still felt extremely anxious. “A Si, tell Tang Mei that the original plan is canceled. Make sure Sister Lin He’s performance won’t have any mishaps.”

Compared to exposing backstage manipulations, ensuring that Lin He’s performance went smoothly was much more important.

Lu Si conveyed the message to Jiang He, who went to inform Tang Mei. However, Tang Mei was nowhere to be seen in the entire audience area.

After searching around, Jiang He returned to report, “Sorry, Miss Mei, Secretary Tang is missing. Why don’t you try calling her directly?”

A bad feeling arose in Mei Shu’s heart. Just when she thought tonight’s situation had deviated significantly from the plan, to the point where even Tang Mei was missing, Tang Mei suddenly rushed out of the elevator.

“President Mei.” Tang Mei ran out with sweat on her forehead, followed closely by Jiang He.

“Where have you been?” Mei Shu was surprised and handed her a tissue.

Tang Mei gratefully took it and wiped the sweat off her forehead. “I just checked the information of the organizers of this competition. I made a significant discovery.”

Mei Shu saw that she was fine and regained her composure. “Let’s not talk about that for now. Stick to the original plan. Sister Lin’s performance must not have any mishaps.”

“President Mei, the thing I investigated is related to Miss Lin.” Tang Mei continued slowly, word byword. “I found that the account of the stage manager sent by the organizers suddenly received a large sum of money last night. And when our machine had problems, it was after the venue was completely set up and inspected by the organizers, you, and Teacher Feng personally.”

Mei Shu narrowed her eyes dangerously. “I understand. So, there’s a mole! Jiang He, did you go find Sister Lin?”

Jiang He rushed to answer, “Miss Lin said the plan remains unchanged. She has a way to handle it. She asks you to trust her.”

“Very well.” With Lin He’s words, Mei Shu had no more worries. She, as always, was the calm and composed President Mei. “Then let’s proceed with the original plan. We’ll cooperate with Sister Lin and make those people reveal themselves, then deal with them one by one.”

Tang Mei agreed, “President Mei, I’ll go backstage to keep an eye on things.”

“Go ahead.” Mei Shu carefully considered every aspect of the plan. Normally, she gave people the impression of being a graceful neighbor girl, but when it came to plotting against others, her aura would fully emerge, giving people a sense of distance.
