Recognized by Chi Yuting

Three days later, Jiangrong Satellite TV.

Today was the second episode of Pure Voice, the 80-to-60 elimination round.

Lin Mu, wearing a hat and mask, walked familiarly into the studio building and took the elevator to the third floor.

"Little brother, you're here?"

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Zisu, who was guarding the door.

Lin Mu asked in surprise, "You recognized me even like this?"

Zisu tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, her movements charming and alluring, her eyes sparkling. "With such a handsome face, I could recognize you even if you were ashes."

Lin Mu ignored the fangirl and headed straight for the contestant waiting room.

"Hehe, little brother, want to hear some big news from the production crew?"

Zisu didn't mind and trotted alongside Lin Mu with a grin.

Lin Mu remained silent.

Zisu glanced around and whispered, "After the show was filmed last week, Feng Bingbing almost beat up Zhou Yiyi!"

Lin Mu stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Why?"

Seeing his interest, Zisu vividly recounted how Zhou Yiyi had barged into Feng Bingbing's dressing room that day.

"Little brother, why does your face look so bad?"

After spilling the gossip, Zisu asked, seeing Lin Mu's expression change, "You're not a fan of Feng Bingbing, are you?"

Lin Mu didn't answer and instead asked, "So Feng Bingbing still didn't hit Zhou Yiyi in the end?"

"Little brother, you know nothing about the entertainment industry. Someone is backing Zhou Yiyi!"

Zisu chuckled.

"If Feng Bingbing dared to lay a hand on him, this matter couldn't be resolved. Unless she didn't want to continue working in the entertainment industry anymore."

Lin Mu smiled. "If she didn't make a move, others could."

"What did you say, little brother?"

Zisu hadn't heard clearly, but saw Lin Mu turn and head towards the restroom. "Miss Zisu, you don't need to see me out."

"Wow, so cool!"

Zisu cupped her face with both hands, looking smitten, then worriedly said, "Little brother looks so haggard. Did you not rest well?"

Lin Mu had been keeping an eye on Zhou Yiyi these past few days and indeed hadn't rested well.

But the exhaustion wasn't in vain. He and Fat Tiger had discovered that Zhou Yiyi seemingly had more than two girlfriends.

Moreover, Zhang Hen had also found out that one of Zhou Yiyi's girlfriends appeared to be his fan.

A player who chases after girls and a fan-basher – this guy would never recover in his life.

And he'd never get close to Junior Feng again!

Now, all that was needed was the final piece of evidence.

Wait, why did I say Junior Feng?

What does this have to do with Junior Feng?

I'm just acting on behalf of heaven, eliminating trash traffic.

It's absolutely not because I was angry hearing this idiot harassing Junior Feng.

Absolutely not!

Lin Mu emerged from the restroom. Zisu, the fangirl, had finally left. He breathed a sigh of relief, only to have a heavily made-up woman walk towards him.

It was Chi Yuting.

Lin Mu froze and quickly lowered his head, intending to slip past quietly. But Chi Yuting's voice called out from behind him, "Wait."

Chi Yuting walked up and, looking closely at Lin Mu's masked face, immediately recognized him.

"Lin Mu? What are you doing here?"

Chi Yuting's expression shifted slightly. Could Lin Mu be here to compete?

No, he didn't even pass the preliminary rounds.

Lin Mu helplessly removed his mask, acting as if he'd bumped into an acquaintance. "Chi Yuting, it's you? I'm here at Jiangrong Satellite TV to find a friend. What are you doing here?"

Hearing that he wasn't here to compete, Chi Yuting relaxed and proudly tucked her hair behind her ear. "Today is the 80-to-60 competition for Pure Voice. I'm already in the national top 60."

Lin Mu nodded. "Oh, congratulations. I'll be going then. Good luck with the competition."

After speaking, he quickly left.

Chi Yuting watched Lin Mu's "flustered" retreating back, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth:

"So arrogant before, now you know you can't reach me and you're feeling inferior?"

Lin Mu quickly entered the contestant waiting room. The large room was noticeably emptier than last week.

Twenty out of the 100 contestants had been eliminated.

And today, 20 more would be eliminated from the remaining 80.

The contestants, having already experienced the cruelty of the competition, were much quieter than last week.

Many sat silently, eyes closed, resting, hoping to be in top condition when they went on stage later.

Lin Mu's entrance didn't attract much attention either. He quietly walked to a corner and sat down.

Today, he would still sing an old-fashioned song. It was best to solidify his "middle-aged veteran singer" image and completely dispel Feng Junior's suspicions.

The waiting room door was pushed open, and Chi Yuting elegantly walked in.

Today, the woman wore a high-slit qipao. The dress was clearly a size too small, and certain parts of her body looked bulging.

Many male contestants gasped in admiration.

Lin Mu shook his head. "Chi Haiyuan, you're partly responsible for global warming."

Chi Yuting swayed her hips as she entered and looked around. Seemingly disappointed, she sat down casually.

Fortunately, the spot where Lin Mu was sitting was blocked by a camera, so he wasn't discovered.

Next, the door opened again, and the "God of Gamblers" BGM started playing. Wu Tian, wearing a trench coat and eyeliner, walked in.

"Wu Tian's here!"

"I heard he got four lights last round, he's too strong!"

"Damn, the championship is basically a foregone conclusion."

Lin Mu sat to the side, listening to the hushed discussions around him.

Chi Haiyuan's eyes lit up. She stood up and walked towards Wu Tian, saying in an incredibly seductive voice:

"Brother Wu, congratulations! The only contestant who got all the mentors' lights last round. You're amazing, Brother Wu!"

Wu Tian looked Chi Yuting up and down, his eyes brightening. He smiled and said:

"It's alright. You're not bad either."

"Hehehe, Brother Wu, what do you think is good about me?"

Chi Yuting puffed out her chest and sucked in her stomach, displaying herself to the fullest.

Wu Tian's eyes grew brighter. "Everything is good."

"Then, after the show, shall we find a place to exchange musical ideas?"

Chi Haiyuan extended an invitation to the fish to enter the pond.

"Sure." Wu Tian readily accepted.

"Damn, what a pair of trash!"

Suddenly, a righteous voice rang out beside Lin Mu.

He turned to look and saw Hao Jian. Lin Mu asked in surprise:

"You weren't eliminated?"

Hao Jian looked at him speechlessly. "Bro, are you buttering me up? I'm aiming for the top 10 in the country."

Lin Mu sincerely congratulated him. "Amazing, amazing. I'll be satisfied if I make it to the top 40."

Hao Jian smiled proudly. He glanced again at Chi Yuting's exaggerated curves and said indignantly:

"This woman is a complete idiot. Wu Tian's target is Feng Bingbing, why would he be interested in her?"

Lin Mu stared at Hao Jian. "What does Feng Bingbing have to do with it?"

Hao Jian was startled. He felt that this pretty boy had suddenly become terrifying, making his hair stand on end. He quickly explained:

"You don't know? Last round, when Wu Tian went on stage, he confessed to Feng Bingbing. He even said that if he won the championship, he wanted to invite Feng Bingbing for a meal."
