What is a surprise?

"Liu Qiang is actually threatening us?"

Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Mu, what should we do?"

A Hen's voice on the other end of the phone was devoid of emotion. Ever since his celebrity ex-girlfriend dumped him, he seemed to have lost the ability to laugh.

"How did Liu Qiang contact you?"

"QQ."

"You go offline, I'll log in."

"Okay."

Lin Mu hung up the phone. After waiting a moment, he used his phone to log into Zhang Hen's QQ.

Within the "Sky Screen" trio, many contact methods were shared, especially QQ, which was difficult to trace.

On Zhang Hen's QQ, Lin Mu saw a new netizen named "Healthy Color."

Zhang Hen had added a remark for this person: Liu Qiang.

Lin Mu smiled. As expected of the "color expert" who was cuckolded by his ex-wife and then by his current wife, even his online username was so meaningful.

Clicking into the chat history with Liu Qiang, just as Zhang Hen had said, Liu Qiang revealed his identity and intentions immediately after adding him as a friend.

He wanted "Dawei Tianlong" to sell him the copyright for Quiet at a low price.

Unlike his fair and kind image on the judging panel, Liu Qiang's conversation with Zhang Hen on QQ was a mix of threats and cajoling, showing a forceful, take-it-or-leave-it attitude and a strong sense of menace.

If his fans and netizens who sympathized with his situation saw this, they would surely be shocked.

They never expected that Brother Qiang, who appeared gentle and approachable on television and in public, would be such a person.

However, Lin Mu wasn't surprised. After all, he had seen too much celebrity gossip; a mere two-faced person was nothing.

Healthy Color: "Contestant Dawei Tianlong, have you thought about it?"

"If you think I'm scaring you, you can try. This S Card was given to you by me, and I can naturally take it back."

"You're just an ordinary person who happened to write a good song. You'll never write another song of this caliber in your life. The wisest thing to do is to make a quick profit."

At this point, Liu Qiang sent a few more messages. It seemed that after checking Zhang Hen's information, he was certain that Zhang Hen was just an ordinary person and wanted to manipulate him into selling Quiet to him.

Lin Mu ignored him and called Fat Tiger: "Send me the video of Liu Qiang's affair."

"Will do, Brother Mu."

Fat Tiger quickly sent him the video of Liu Qiang cheating on his new wife.

Six months ago, after being cuckolded by his ex-wife, Liu Qiang finally found true love again and married an outsider.

Many netizens sent their blessings at the time, seeing it as compensation for a good man.

However, about a month after the wedding, Liu Qiang was caught by Fat Tiger and A Hen going to a hotel with a young model.

As part of their professional duty as paparazzi, to get irrefutable proof, the two waited in the hotel stairwell and captured footage of Liu Qiang and the model leaving the room together.

However, at that time, there were bigger scandals in the entertainment industry, so Lin Mu didn't choose to expose it immediately.

This was quite normal for the Sky Screen trio. They held dirt on nearly half of the people in the entertainment industry, and sometimes, holding onto a scandal was more effective than exposing it immediately.

For example, now, Liu Qiang's scandal could be put to good use.

Lin Mu edited a portion of the video of the "color expert" cheating on his phone and sent it to him on QQ.

Soon, the other party initiated a video call.

Lin Mu rejected it.

Liu Qiang immediately sent a voice message, his voice filled with rage and disbelief:

"You, how did you get that footage?"

Lin Mu calmly replied: "Teacher Liu, is this melon I'm sending you ripe enough?"

After a while, presumably having found a secluded place, Liu Qiang's enraged voice message came through:

"What exactly do you want?!"

Lin Mu: "Teacher Liu, do you still want to buy my song?"

A moment later, Liu Qiang, whose emotions had gradually stabilized, changed his tone:

"Teacher Dawei Tianlong, everything just now was a misunderstanding. I simply admire your talent and wanted to communicate with you more."

He then added: "Teacher Dawei Tianlong, I'm not buying the song anymore. I'll buy this video. Name your price."

This guy was quite straightforward; buying a song had turned into buying a video.

Lin Mu typed: "I heard your wife was originally a promising architectural designer. After marrying you, she quit her job and focused on having a child for you.

Your wife does all the housework. With such a virtuous wife, why did you still cheat?"

Healthy Color: "That has nothing to do with you, right?"

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow: "Quite feisty?"

"Sorry, bro, my tone was bad. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I was so good to my ex-wife, why did she have to go find a man so much worse than me?

So I wanted to see if cheating was really that exciting."

Lin Mu chuckled, "So, do you think it was exciting?"

"Exciting? It was, I got caught, didn't I? I might not even be able to get it up next time I see Ali."

Lin Mu: "You're still going to see her?"

"No, big brother, just tell me how much you want."

Lin Mu: "Let's not talk about money for now. I have one condition."

Jian Kang Se: "You name it."

Lin Mu: "Break it off with your mistress immediately. Live properly with your wife from now on, and there will be a surprise."

Jian Kang Se: "That's it? Big brother, what exactly are you asking for?"

Lin Mu: "Just to avoid divine retribution. Do as I say immediately, and remember, I'll be watching you."

Jian Kang Se: "Yes, yes!"

At the Jiangrong Drama Center, in an empty restroom, Liu Qiang's face was ashen, furious.

"A surprise? What the hell kind of surprise are you talking about?!"

7 PM, Jiangrong Drama Center.

The first day of the Pure Voice Jiangsu Province preliminaries concluded.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Zhang, would you like to grab dinner together?"

Zhou Li asked Liu Qiang and Zhang Wanteng with a smile.

"No thank you, I'm getting old. I'll head back for an early rest."

Zhang Wanteng smiled and declined, holding his thermos.

"My wife is here, I need to go back and be with her."

Liu Qiang also smiled and politely refused.

"Wow, Teacher Liu is truly a model husband!"

Zhou Li praised. Liu Qiang forced a smile, bid them farewell, and left the drama center, getting into his car.

His wife had indeed come with him to Jiangrong.

As an artist, he often traveled all over the country. To prevent their feelings from fading due to long-term separation, Liu Qiang's wife quit her job and accompanied him every time he traveled.

The two were considered an enviable model couple in the entertainment industry.

Liu Qiang had bought a house in Jiangrong. This time, he was here as a judge, and his wife had come along. She had been cooking for him at home these past couple of days.

Sitting in the car, Liu Qiang glanced at the driver in the front seat, then looked down and sent a message to his young mistress:

"Let's end this. I'll give you a sum of money as a breakup fee."

Half an hour later, Liu Qiang returned to his house in Jiangrong and knocked on the door.

"Coming!"

A cheerful voice came from inside. A woman in homewear, wearing an apron, opened the door. A smile appeared on her dignified and beautiful face:

"Honey, you're back? Come in quickly, I have a surprise for you."
