The program was modified shortly afterward.

I brought a lot of tools, which I pulled out of my pocket, leaving everyone looking bewildered.

After dozens of re-tests, this time there were no problems.

"Is it fixed?" the supervisor asked.

"It's fixed."

I nodded. "Xiao Bei, you go ahead with your work, I'll go around and check some other equipment."

"Um!"

Lu Xiaobei left with a relieved smile.

I frowned. It might not actually be fixed. After all, I couldn't see if there were other chips installed inside the machine. If it could still be remotely controlled, it would be very troublesome.

"Mr. Zhao, this elevator looks newly installed. Who was in charge of the installation?"

Regarding the Workers' Stadium venue.

Director Zhao frowned and asked, "You suspect they have a problem?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

I nodded and said, "Why don't you call the venue and ask who installed this elevator? I'd like to know the details."

"OK!"

Director Zhao turned around and made a phone call, then returned a few minutes later. "Manager Jiang from the Workers' Stadium organizers said that the installation of this elevator was outsourced, and the contractor left three days ago."

Good grief, another temporary worker taking the blame?

"Ding Han, Xiao Bei got you an assistant's name tag."

The supervisor returned and gave me a badge that allowed me to freely enter and exit the venue.

A short while later, Lu Xiaobei returned with two ice cream cones in his hand and handed one of them to me.

"No, you're really big, Xiao Bei..."

I remained silent.

She smiled and said, "Life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can. If an accident happens before tomorrow, then I hope I've enjoyed as much happiness as possible before it does."

It has to be said that her level of understanding is truly unmatched by ordinary people.

Director Zhao sat to the side, nodding with a smile, "Well said!"

"Don't call me 'okay,' I'm still a little worried."

I frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhao, who is responsible for the safety of the concert?"

"It's been outsourced to a security company. They've deployed over 200 security guards for this concert. There shouldn't be any problems, right, Ding Han?"

"I'm still worried."

I glanced at Lu Xiaobei beside me and said, "How about this, I need to place some people in the security team. The security checks at the concert venue will be handled by my team, is that alright?"

"Can!"

Director Zhao readily agreed, as he also didn't want any mishaps to occur; if anything went wrong, he would lose his job as director.

So I turned around, closed my eyes, and said in a deep voice to Ding Han Squad, "Is everyone here? Assemble!"

"Exist!"

Cai Cai, Ruolin, Fatty, and the others responded one by one, and the seven of them were all present in the blink of an eye.

I briefly explained, "Xiao Bei is having a concert at the Workers' Stadium in Donghu District, Huaining City today. You all probably know that, right?"

"I know, so what?"

"When I accompanied her to scout the location just now, I discovered that the program for the stage lift in the middle seemed to have been tampered with, posing a risk of remotely controlling a fall. I have already fixed the control program, but since someone is targeting Xiao Bei, there might be other risks. So I would like to ask you guys for help and come to the concert. Today, you will be in charge of security checks and screenings. I need to ensure Lu Xiaobei's safety."

"Holy crap, is that true?"

Huo Bingzhi Ri, "Don't worry, boss, we're coming right away. We'll do our best to protect Second Sister-in-law's safety!"

I:"..."

Ruolin: "..."

Fatty: "!!!"

After giving a few more instructions, everyone rushed to the scene.

Not long after, Ding Han Squad arrived and met up outside the venue.

I gave each of them a staff badge and said, "Would you like to wear the security uniforms or buy your own suits? I prefer suits, since the security uniforms are too ugly."

"It has to be a suit!"

Cai Cai pointed to the shopping mall across the street and said, "We're going to buy clothes and change. Boss, wait for me, I'll be right there."

OK, I'll be waiting for you!

Around four o'clock in the evening.

Ruolin and the others returned, each dressed in a sharp suit and wearing name tags, looking just like concert venue managers.

I regret it a little; I should have taken out the Armani suit that Lin Qingying bought for me.

Now, these bastards actually look kind of handsome in their suits, and I feel like I've lost some of my edge in terms of presence.

"Just."

I nodded. "There are seven security gates at the Workers' Stadium entrance. Each of you will be responsible for one gate. You must ensure that no one brings dangerous items into the venue."

"Don't worry, we have sharp eyes!"

Cai Cai said, "Looking at the crowd, apart from not being able to see through them, I can clearly see what weapons they are carrying."

"It has to be this way, otherwise what's the point of calling you here?"

"Boss!"

Kou Mei, dressed in a women's suit and looking very pretty, raised her hand and asked, "Excuse me, how are we going to have dinner tonight? Would you be treating us?"

"Of course, I'll treat you to the staff's boxed lunches."

Hahaha~~~

The fat man laughed and said, "We're on serious business today, so don't even think about eating, Kou Mei."

"Okay, I understand!"

Kou Mei smiled and said, "Protecting Second Sister-in-law is everyone's responsibility!"

"Right?"

Just then, Lu Xiaobei appeared out of nowhere, wearing her rehearsal dress, and said with a smile, "Ding Han, look, everyone knows I'm your darling now..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

I coughed and said, "I only have one little Ying."

"Mean!"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Sister Ruolin, you look so handsome in a suit!"

"Right?"

Ruolin's dimpled smile speaks volumes about the value of the praise she received from a big star.

"Xiao Bei, don't run around."

I glanced at her and said, "I received a mission to protect Lu Xiaobei at the concert, an S-level mission. You should know how risky this incident is, right?"

"Is S-rank a very high rank?" Lu Xiaobei asked.

"That's very high."

Ruolin said, "The current top-tier daily mission is SS-rank."

"I see..." Lu Xiaobei fell into deep thought.

"So from this moment on, until the concert ends, don't leave my sight, understand?"

I couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Cai Cai, could you run an errand and buy me a suit too? I need to stay close to Lu Xiaobei, and it's not appropriate for me to wear what I'm wearing now."

As she spoke, she tossed him 10,000 yuan.

Alright!

Cai Cai came and went in a hurry, and soon returned with a suit and leather shoes, while I went to the restroom, quickly changed my clothes, put on my name tag, and instantly transformed into a staff member on site.

"The concert starts at eight o'clock, and the audience will enter gradually from six o'clock. Please be ready in advance."

"Learn!"

Faye and Bingzi looked solemn; they had taken this matter seriously and were carrying it out as a serious mission.

A short while later, Lu Xiaobei's assistant arrived, carrying two heavy stacks of boxed lunches, a total of nine.

Afterwards, everyone started eating. Lu Xiaobei also sat down next to me with a boxed lunch, showing off his food like crazy.

"No..."

Aji scratched his head and said in a very down-to-earth manner, "Lu Xiaobei, how come you, such a big star, are eating the same boxed lunches as us?"

"Ding Han can eat this kind of takeout, then of course I can too."

Lu Xiaobei said, "You don't know that back in Creek City, Ding Han and I ate boxed lunches together. We shared everything, from evaporated milk to high-tech and demanding tasks. That's what you call sharing the good times and the bad."

I rolled my eyes. "It's like something good is happening."

Everyone burst into laughter.

As everyone gradually became more familiar with each other, Kou Mei mustered up the courage to take a photo with Xiao Bei, while Cai Cai, Fatty, and others jokingly asked to add WeChat.

So, in the end, everyone took a group photo with Lu Xiaobei, and they also added each other on WeChat.

Starting today, it will no longer be a secret that Lu Xiaobei will click on every single one of my Moments.

Six o'clock.

Fans began to enter, creating a massive crowd.

The Donghu District Workers' Stadium has a maximum capacity of 24,000 people, and it is said that the tickets were sold out within a day, which shows how popular Lu Xiaobei is.

Security checkpoint entrance.

The security guards diligently conducted the inspection, while Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others, dressed in black suits and wearing name tags, supervised from the side, not overlooking any detail.

Backend.

With the concert start time drawing closer, Lu Xiaobei glanced at me and said, "I'm a little nervous, I need to pee..."

"Come on, I'll go with you!"

"You, you, you..."

She said speechlessly, "Are you going to listen in outside?"

"Otherwise what? Hurry up, stop being coy, your safety is the most important thing."

"All right."

She got up listlessly, as if heading to her execution.

Soon after, two assistants flanked Lu Xiaobei, giving him detailed instructions on everything, even specifying the exact position of the teleprompter.

"Oh, right."

I said, "To ensure safety, Xiao Bei should clear the area from backstage to the elevator shaft under the stage. I'll accompany her."

"Okay, I'll go tell the stage manager."

Lu Xiaobei nodded in agreement, and his assistant left immediately.

Then, it was just the two of us left.

"Ding Han, what are you trying to do?" Lu Xiaobei asked suspiciously.

"I'll ride the lift up to the stage with you, just in case something happens. With me here, even if the lift malfunctions, it won't be a problem."

"Really?!"

She actually beamed and said, "Are you going to come on stage with me and let me announce to everyone that I'm your baby?"

What do you think about all day long?

I glared at him and said, "I have optical invisibility. I'll enter invisibility before the elevator comes to a complete stop, and I'll leave as soon as you leave the elevator. No one else will be able to see me."

"So, you still have to come with me onto the stage, even though no one else can see you, right?"

"Um."

"So..."

Lu Xiaobei exclaimed happily, "This will be the most meaningful concert of my life!"

Just then, Lu Xiaobei's walkie-talkie, which was hanging on his waist, crackled to life. "Xiao Bei, the show is about to start. Get ready to go on stage. Head to the lift!"

"Receive."

Lu Xiaobei stood up, dressed in formal attire, holding a microphone, turned to me with a smile, "Come on, let's go!"

The two walked through the passageway and stood together on the elevator.

"Countdown to going on stage."

The operator started the countdown, and the elevator gave a whirring sound and began to rise.

"Whoosh!"

I began to switch forms and transform. A wisp of rich Yuan energy rose up, constantly annihilating and condensing into a series of majestic armors. A cloak billowed behind me, and a gleaming Power Sword appeared in my hand.

At this moment, he resembled Knight Protecting the Princess.

"..."

Looking at me, Lu Xiaobei held the microphone, her eyes filled with tears.
