Chapter 243 Private Investigator, Methods and Channels
During meals.
While eating the food prepared by the Michelin chef, Ning Yao thought of the question she wanted to ask and blurted it out.
"Ranran, your good friend Ning Chen saved me. What kind of gift should I give him? What are his hobbies?"
Ning Moran hadn't expected Ning Yao to mention Ning Chen. After carefully considering her words, she said, "There's no need to send gifts. He does things entirely based on his own preferences. Saving you was his own choice, and he probably won't accept anything from you."
Ning Yao disagreed with Ning Moran's statement and immediately retorted, "Ranran, you need to learn some social etiquette. Whether the other party wants it or not is their business, while whether we give it to them or not is our business. We just need to express our feelings and that's enough. We don't need to think about anything else."
"okay, I get it."
Ning nodded and then thought for a moment before adding, "He likes toy car models."
Since they were separated at the Spirit Spring, they went to different times and spaces, and Ning Moran's impression of Ning Chen only remained from when he was five years old.
Upon hearing this, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
It's surprising that someone with Ning Chen's personality would like toy cars. Is it the toy car they're thinking of?
"This is what a car model looks like." Ning Moran was afraid that Ning Yao wouldn't know what it looked like, so she simply brought out a palm-sized toy car and showed it to Ning Yao.
Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue opened their mouths wide in unison, their mouths almost big enough to fit a goose egg.
It really is the kind of toy car that kids like, tiny little thing.
Ning Yao examined the toy car, thinking that she should observe the car model more in the next few days, and then make one herself to give to Ning Chen.
You should know that her handmade works are priceless and much more exquisite than the car models you can buy on the market.
After dinner, Ning Yao called Chen Xuezong.
It was very noisy on Chen Xuezong's end, sounding like a construction site. After receiving Ning Yao's call, he shouted, "Wait for me for five minutes, I'll find a quiet place."
Chen Xuezong hung up the phone immediately, and Ning Yao waited patiently. A short while later, Chen Xuezong called again.
"Kidnapping? Are you alright?" Chen Xuezong's heart was in his throat, and his voice was hoarse.
Ning Yao: "I'm fine. I'm just curious who would want to kill me. Can you hire a reliable private investigator to check it out? There's no information available right now, but I do have two suspects."
Chen Xuezong asked in a deep voice, "Two people?"
Ning Yao: "One is Miao Yuliu. Please investigate her thoroughly. You can start by checking with plastic surgery clinics. Her face has been altered; it's not her original appearance."
Ning Yao: "The other one is Huo Muxi, the eldest daughter of the Huo family."
Huo Muxi was Ning Yao's first suspect, after all, Huo Muxi had openly attacked her after she boarded the ship, without any subtlety.
Chen Xuezong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuezong immediately contacted a private investigator.
Ning Yao returned to school with her roommates. Ning Moran only saw her off at the gate and left after watching her enter the school.
The three walked along the tree-lined paths on campus. The weather was starting to warm up, and the wind wasn't too cold on their faces.
Cui Mengmeng looked at her phone and said with some delight, "Yaoyao's fan base has been growing rapidly recently; she's already a top-tier celebrity."
They don't have a company to rely on for the time being; it's just a collaboration between the two of them: an artist and a manager.
It's truly remarkable that she's achieved this much, but it's not a long-term solution. As Luo Xiyao becomes more and more popular, Cui Mengmeng alone will definitely not be able to handle it all, and they will need to ask others for help.
"It's alright. Actually, I have to thank Xue Jiashu for making a fuss, otherwise so many people wouldn't have noticed my existence," Ning Yao said with a smile.
Xue Jiashu really shot himself in the foot; he didn't gain any attention and ended up doing all the work for her.
I heard that some netizens have counted her new fan base, and 80% of them are fans of Xue Jiashu, who jumped over from there.
"Don't mention that man, he's disgusting. He's never serious when he's acting properly; he's never focused on the right thing." Cui Mengmeng had a deep grudge against Xue Jiashu and didn't want to mention his name again.
Xin Yujue remained silent, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
Ning Yao noticed something was wrong with her and asked, "Xiao Jue, what's wrong?"
Xin Yujue frowned and said, "I'm thinking about what happened on the island. Who could possibly be after you?"
Ning Yao: "You don't need to worry about these things. I've already hired a private investigator to look into it. They're professional and have the means and channels."
After thinking for a moment, Xin Yujue decided to voice her concerns.
"Do you think the person who did this might be a sasaeng fan (obsessive fan who stalks celebrities)?"
Sasaeng fans are a group that everyone condemns. They have no bottom line when it comes to chasing stars, only caring about their own needs and not considering the feelings of their idols.
Cui Mengmeng fell silent, and Ning Yao also became somewhat quiet.
Indeed, she has gained a lot of followers recently, and it's inevitable that some overly enthusiastic fans will appear.
Travel like Costa Cruises is accessible to anyone with money, with virtually no barriers to entry, which conveniently provides a channel for obsessive fans.
“A male celebrity I liked was harassed by a crazy obsessive fan. She worked for an airline and found out my idol’s identity information. She checked his flight information more than once and bought a ticket on the same flight as him, sitting next to him.”
"She always sat to the side of my idol, staring at him intently with an infatuated smile on her face..."
As Xin Yujue spoke, goosebumps rose all over her body, clearly terrified by the scene she was describing.
"These are the mild cases. There are many cases in the industry where people have been raped by obsessive fans hiding in hotel rooms, and there are even cases where people have been attacked with sulfuric acid because they couldn't have the love they wanted. Don't underestimate the fighting power of these people. If you are not careful, something terrible will happen!"
Xin Yujue said this to both Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng.
One of them is a popular young celebrity, and the other is an agent. They should both have a basic understanding of these things.
Being more cautious is never a bad thing; it's always better than falling for a trap and then regretting it.
"I'll be careful," Ning Yao reassured Xin Yujue. She could tell that Xin Yujue genuinely cared about her, and nodded solemnly.
Ning Yao quickly forwarded the suspicion about the stalker fans to Chen Xuezong, asking him to contact a private investigator to provide more directions for the investigation.
After resting for two days, the group regained their energy and spirits.
The several large boxes of model-making tools and materials that Ningyao ordered online arrived just in time.
When the package arrives at the school, it cannot be delivered to the dormitory; you have to pick it up at a designated collection point.
Her two roommates helped her, huffing and puffing as they carried the load towards the girls' dormitory.
Many students had already returned to school before they left. Except for special circumstances, almost everyone was present. It wasn't time for class yet, and the campus was full of students out for a walk and some exercise. There were quite a few people.
On the way, some boys saw this scene and, upon seeing that it was Luo Xiyao herself, their hearts pounded. They quickly stepped forward to lend a hand, helping the girls carry their suitcases to the dormitory building. They even had the urge to take them into the dormitory, but Cui Mengmeng politely declined.
She is Luo Xiyao's manager, so she has the professional ethics to prevent Luo Xiyao from being in danger and caught in a media storm.
Ning Yao is considered strong for a girl, but it still took her quite a bit of effort to lift these boxes.
After successfully transporting their belongings back to the dormitory, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue's arms ached so much that they collapsed onto the bed and didn't move.
Ning Yao felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately ordered three cups of milk tea, treated her roommates to them, and also covered lunch.
The sound of unpacking attracted Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue's attention. They stared wide-eyed as Ning Yao magically produced one rare material after another that they had never seen before, unable to look away.
