Enjoy Your Meal

"What's your name? I'm going to file a complaint. Damn it, do you not know to call ahead before delivering food?"

Zhou Yiyi cursed at the hotel waiter, his face full of impatience and not caring at all about his image.

But the next second, his tirade abruptly stopped.

"S-Sister Zhou."

Before Zhou Yiyi could react, a group of burly men shoved him into the room, and Zhou Min charged straight in.

"Where are those two bitches?!"

Then Zhou Min froze.

On the spacious bed, there weren't two women, but three.

When the three women saw a large group suddenly burst in, they screamed and yanked the blankets over themselves.

Zhou Min's lips trembled with anger. She turned and slapped Zhou Yiyi across the face.

"Zhou Yiyi, explain to me what the hell is going on!"

All the color drained from Zhou Yiyi's pretty face. He shook like a leaf and stammered,

"Sister Zhou, it's not what you think! I, I, I didn't do anything. Those three bitches seduced me. I wanted to fight them off!"

One of the women on the bed stared at Zhou Yiyi in disbelief.

"Yiyi, you're calling me a bitch? I spent all my savings getting plastic surgery for you. I had an abortion for you. I was willing to be your lover, and now you call me a bitch?"

She was one of Zhou Yiyi's obsessive fans.

The Sky Curtain trio had looked into her earlier. She'd come from a well-off family, but she was so infatuated with Zhou Yiyi that she'd always dreamed of becoming Mrs. Zhou one day.

Thinking she wasn't pretty enough, she'd gotten plastic surgery.

She'd traveled a thousand miles to find Zhou Yiyi and had finally "moved" him enough to get into bed with her idol.

Even knowing Zhou Yiyi already had a girlfriend, she'd been willing to be his real-life doll, ready whenever he called.

When she learned Zhou Yiyi had a "fourth" woman, she'd still chosen to forgive him.

Even today, when Zhou Yiyi thought two women weren't enough and brought in another woman who sold her body, she'd chosen to put up with it.

But now, caught in bed by his official girlfriend, Zhou Yiyi had immediately changed his tune and called her a "bitch."

In an instant, it was as if she'd woken from a dream. Somehow, she suddenly thought of her parents, who'd worked so hard to raise her.

She burst into tears.

Zhou Min looked coldly at the three women. "Get dressed and get out!"

She walked over and slammed the bedroom door shut, keeping the three half-dressed women from being exposed to a roomful of men.

Then Zhou Min said calmly to the bodyguards,

"Beat him."

"No, please, Sister Zhou! I know I was wrong. From now on, I'll be your dog and yours alone. Don't hit me! Ow, ow!"

The burly men pinned Zhou Yiyi down and gave him a merciless beating. Screams rang through the room.

A short while later, the three women came out dressed, their faces pale. They didn't dare look at Zhou Yiyi, who was being piled on by the men, and ran out of the room.

Just then, the ordinary-looking hotel waiter, ever the professional, set the dishes from his trolley on the table and bowed slightly.

"Enjoy your meal."

Then he silently pushed the trolley out of the room and kindly closed the door behind him, shutting the piercing screams inside.

He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the basement level.

Several groups of guests got on and off along the way, and the waiter politely bowed and greeted them each time.

When the elevator reached the basement, the waiter pushed the trolley out.

Following someone's earlier instructions, he took off his hotel uniform in a blind spot between security cameras and stuffed it into a black bag.

He removed a device resembling a miniature camera from the trolley and slipped it into his pocket.

Then, with his hands in his pockets, he strolled over to an old van parked in a corner, looking like an ordinary guest.

Only after he got in and shut the door did he start shaking all over. Even his voice trembled.

"Good Lord! Oh, God! Guanyin! That was so damn exciting!"

A hand rested on his shoulder, helping him gradually calm down.

"Did you get it?"

"I got it, I got it!"

Hao Jian took out the miniature camera and handed it to Fat Tiger.

Fat Tiger deftly removed a small card from it and inserted it into his phone.

After a few taps, the screen quickly showed what had just happened in the hotel.

"Brother Mu, this is solid proof! It couldn't be any more solid!"

When he saw Zhou Yiyi caught in bed by his official girlfriend and her people, Fat Tiger's face lit up with excitement.

Then he saw Zhou Yiyi's obsessive fan burst into tears, and he fell silent.

He thought of his younger sister.

All these years, hadn't his sister been just like that fan, as if she were possessed?

If their parents hadn't stopped her with everything they had, she might have gone to Zhou Yiyi and offered herself to him, only to end up being called a "bitch" by her idol.

Lin Mu raised a hand and patted Fat Tiger's shoulder. "It's all right now," he said gently.

Once this video came out, Fat Tiger's sister would naturally see her giegie for who he really was.

"Brother Mu, thank you. Thank you!"

For once, Fat Tiger dropped his usual jokey attitude and spoke to Lin Mu with complete sincerity.

Lin Mu paused, then shook his head. "You don't have to thank me. I wasn't doing it only for your sister."

Fat Tiger hesitated. Then, as if he'd thought of something, he stared at Lin Mu in shock.

"Brother Mu, you and Feng—"

"Brother Long! Who are you, really? You're incredible! Can I follow you from now on?!"

Just then, Hao Jian's plain, leering face flushed red. As if he'd found his purpose in life, he spoke to Lin Mu with excitement.

Earlier, when Brother Long said he'd take him to get an up-close look at Zhou Yiyi's scandal, Hao Jian had assumed the guy was just bluffing.

After filming ended, he'd gone to the agreed-upon place to wait for him, but only because he figured it was worth a try.

He hadn't expected Brother Long to actually let him get an unbelievably close look at the scandal.

And what a scandal it was!

He'd even dug it up himself.

Good Lord, wasn't this sense of achievement just off the charts?!

"Follow me?"

Lin Mu gave a scoff.

"There are no holidays in our line of work, and no health insurance or other benefits."

"Forget the benefits! Only fools choose a life of loafing around and doing nothing! I want excitement—excitement!"

Hao Jian looked fierce, his mind made up.

Lin Mu patted Fat Tiger. "You take him under your wing. Explain the rules to him."

"Sure thing, Brother Mu!"

Lin Mu turned to the fat man. "Send this video to your sister first, so she can see her idol's true colors and stop wasting her money."

Fat Tiger stared at him in surprise. "Brother Mu, aren't we going to expose him right away?"

Lin Mu said, "If we expose him now, it'll have a huge impact on Pure Voice, and the first two episodes won't be able to air. We'll expose him after they've aired.

"Also, contact Chen Xin in a bit and let her know ahead of time. She should find a replacement guest for Zhou Yiyi early, so we can keep the impact on the show to a minimum."

Fat Tiger studied Lin Mu carefully.

"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"Brother Mu, you don't even want to win the championship, so why do you care so much about this show? What's it got to do with us?" Fat Tiger suddenly said with a mischievous grin.

Lin Mu stiffened and said coldly, "Shut up. Drive!"

"Hehe, all right!"

Fat Tiger started the van with a grin and drove away from the hotel.

Just then, Lin Mu's phone rang. It was Zhang Hen.

"Brother Mu, Feng Bingbing really did spot me, and she followed me for a long time. I did what you told me to."

"What did you do?"

"I led her to Muren Mountain, then shook her off in the Lost Forest."
