Chapter 874 - 848: Relieved by His Shamelessness
With Qian by his side, Yu Minglang’s ability to control his emotions reached a new level.
"I’ll tell you all, anyone who messes with me won’t end well, haha, you little girl will definitely not be able to survive in the industry later. You’ll lose this competition miserably, hahaha!"
Having bragged enough, Zhao hummed a tune and walked away slowly.
Qian coldly watched his departing figure, what a shameless guy!
"I wonder if Daya can cope inside."
Qian was very worried about Daya. In fact, she no longer cared about the outcome of this tedious competition.
She just hoped Daya could perform normally inside. Even if she lost, it wouldn’t matter, as long as it didn’t affect Daya’s mindset, crush her confidence, or hinder her future prospects.
Qian in her anxiety for her friend and sister-in-law, Xiaoqiang gazed at the direction Zhao left, eyes slightly squinted.
"Mei, go find our mom in the audience section. She got tickets from someone. You should cheer for Daya as a spectator."
"What about you?"
"I... have a little errand." Yu Minglang said gloomily.
Zhao successfully disgusted Qian, feeling immensely satisfied.
He hummed a tune as he walked all the way to the toilet, unbuttoned his pants, relieved himself, washed his hands, and then stood by the sink to make a call.
"It’s me, haha, that girl set her own trap. Before our people could take action tomorrow, she was absent on the second day. It cracks me up, haha!"
"Absent?"
"Yes, she had her assistant substitute her for the debate. Her assistant is just a college student, how could she possibly compete with the other contestants? She’s doomed to be eliminated, even if she could compete. Having her assistant compete in her place is against the rules! Quickly find someone to instigate her former patients. As long as we can uncover one, she would lose her qualification as a psychological consultant!"
"Don’t be careless, let’s see the result first. To be safe, don’t dismiss our virtual patient collaborating tomorrow. We must attack her thoroughly!"
"Yes, you are indeed perceptive, your handling is impeccable—ah!"
While reporting the situation, startled with a sudden glance, the shadow reflected in the mirror scared him into screaming, and his trembling phone fell into the sink.
In the mirror, a tall figure appeared behind him like a specter.
"Ah! What do you want!" Zhao shuddered, only to see the newcomer’s eyes curve coldly without a trace of laughter, speaking in a sinister tone.
"Take a guess?"
"Who are you—ah!"
And then it was silenced...
Thirty seconds later, a shadow quickly flashed out of the toilet, and Zhao banged on the door, shouting, "Is anyone out there? I don’t want to be stuck in this stinky toilet; someone locked me inside!"
Hitting or cursing someone is illegal, can’t do that.
But... if your hand slipped and accidentally locked the toilet door, that’s not a problem, right?
This toilet is particularly secluded, deep inside; almost no one comes here. Zhao, in a hurry to relieve himself, seeing other toilets full, came here unexpectedly and got locked in!
After nearly an hour, the toilet’s stench was making Zhao nauseous. How come the radio station has a clogged toilet? And who ate garlic and got a stomach issue? So disgusting!
"Is there anyone..." Zhao’s throat was hoarse from shouting, and his hand was sore from banging.
Finally, a security guard came by on patrol, almost thinking it was haunted hearing the sounds inside, nervously opened the door, only to see Zhao’s face darkened.
"Are you okay?"
"Someone locked me in, and stole my phone..."
"Isn’t your phone still in your hand?" the security pointed.
But the phone’s battery was thrown into the waste pool, right onto a pile of excrement, such a mean act, visible yet unreachable.
Zhao looked at the battery-less phone and complained.
"He stole my phone, removed the battery, and threw it there! He even checked my call history!"
"Uh, in this case, it won’t be accepted, right? Not like it’s phone snatching or money stealing!"
"Did he hit you?"
"No... but he locked me in the toilet!"
"This can’t be accepted either." The security had a quick mind, upon entering and seeing the door, it was hard to tell if the damage was deliberate or natural, with the lock broken in a very natural way.
If it’s naturally damaged, making a fuss about it would definitely hold the station accountable!
"The TV station is like my home, love my salary, I love it" This concept was deeply rooted in the security’s mind, he ought to report the matter to leadership later today, might even get praised.
"Why can’t it be accepted! I’m looking for someone now!" Zhao, enveloped by the toilet stench, was seething.
"Did you see the person’s face clearly?"
"He was masked, I couldn’t see clearly."
The security shook his head at Zhao, "Sir, are you too fatigued at work, having hallucinations? The station is hosting a psychological consultant career competition, perhaps, after the meeting, you might want to consult one?"
Zhao was grinding his teeth in frustration yet couldn’t do anything about it.
Indeed...
No one hit him, no one cursed him, no one robbed him, he didn’t even know who locked him in here, what’s the use of looking for someone?
Who exactly was that masked man? So confused...
Yu Minglang was rushing to the worksite when his eldest brother called, he answered with the Bluetooth headset.
"Bro, did you track the call?"
"No, it was using a disposable phone card, couldn’t trace the location, and not purchased with real ID." Eldest brother responded gloomily.
"It’s normal not to trace it. The one targeting my wife must be meticulous and audacious. This time proves Zhao has backing, as for the rest, it’s not urgent, no matter how cunning, they’ll slip up sooner or later."
"I’ll check the recent fund movements of Zhao, see if we can trace it back to him; over there, keep an eye on sister-in-law, don’t let her suffer."
"Got it."
Yu Minglang actually wanted to go in and check on his wife, Daya who is currently competing on behalf of Qian, but his company had business, he couldn’t skip work, so he reluctantly left and sent a text to Qian.
Qian was already seated beside Mrs. Yu, as an audience member, watching Daya on stage, feeling assured.
Daya’s expression didn’t seem anxious, rather calm.
Looks like it was second brother’s pre-game pep talk, stabilizing Daya, apart from Qian, it certainly was second brother.
"Qian, do you think Daya will manage?" Mrs. Yu was worried about her daughter-in-law’s challenging journey in the competition.
If Qian hadn’t rescued those two hostages, how would she not even be able to enter the arena?
"She will, I have confidence in Daya." Qian’s greatest concern was Daya being nervous, fearing Daya might lose confidence because of this competition.
But seeing Daya’s expression set her at ease.
