Chapter 91, Shot 1
The wind tonight seems to carry a hotter, more oppressive atmosphere than usual.
As Zhang Xiaohua drove Lin Wan toward Bihe Yayuan, another car slowly followed. Instead of following directly behind the car in front, the other car kept a distance of about ten meters.
After other vehicles cut in front of it, the slightly dilapidated second car did not accelerate to catch up for fear of falling behind, but continued to drive at a steady pace.
It was about twenty points.
A man's voice came from inside the car: "It seems we're not going to Shanshui Residential Area tonight."
"Um"
The man next to him, his head down, stared at the moving light on his phone screen as he replied, then chuckled, "Pretty alert, starting to circle around. I'm afraid something's really going to happen tonight."
"Being vigilant is normal."
The man driving replied, "The boss's 'The Terror Live' has grossed over 600 million. Even if this 'Jade Girl' says she's not afraid, she knows in her heart whether she's truly afraid or not."
"Too"
Ma Donglai smiled and nodded: "It turned again...hehe, and even stopped. That woman named Zhang Xiaohua is quite adept at counter-surveillance."
She was afraid too.
Ning Zheng laughed and said, "If Lin Wan is ruined, she will be finished too. Agents in the entertainment industry all rely on their artists for a living. But I have to say, if I hadn't taken this job, I would never have thought that Lin Wan, who has always had a good image, is actually a scheming bitch."
"That's how celebrities are! They act one way in public and another way in private."
Ma Donglai said nonchalantly.
"Stop your car first and let that car circle around for a while."
Ning Zheng gave a reminder, and after the car stopped on the side of the road, Ning Che took out a cigarette and handed one to Ma Donglai. While smoking, he asked, "If you really manage to get a picture, are you going to just hand it over to the boss and collect that million, or do you have some other ideas?! This is Lin Wan, a top-tier actress. If you don't get a picture, then never mind. What I mean is, what if you do get a picture..."
"What do you mean!?"
Ma Donglai was somewhat surprised.
"I've heard that many reporters in the entertainment industry, after taking photos of a celebrity, will privately contact the celebrity and pay to buy the photos back. Lin Wan is a top-tier star; she's worth far more than a million. Rather than..."
Ning Zheng tossed his cigarette butt to the roadside and smiled at Ma Donglai. "Why don't we just make a quick buck? Let's not even talk about 20 or 10 million, several million shouldn't be a problem. After all, celebrities care about their image the most. Once we get some money from Lin Wan, we can just grab the cash and run. With money, it doesn't matter where we live."
"..."
Ma Donglai's eyes flickered a few times, seemingly quite tempted as well.
After a while, he finally spoke up, "We'll talk about this after we get the shot. If we don't, we'll just stick to taking this few thousand yuan a month. The boss is making money now, and who knows, maybe next month's salary will increase by a few thousand yuan. If we can really make over ten thousand yuan a month, that would be great. Although it's tough, this job isn't tiring."
"Alright"
Ning Zheng nodded.
It's too early to talk about these things since no photos have been taken yet.
However, from Ma Donglai's words, Ning Zheng knew that he did not refuse, which was normal. Giving the photos to the boss would only cost two million, which meant one million for each of them. If it were Lin Wan... Ning Zheng estimated that it would be at least five million, or even more.
Everyone's out here to make money.
Naturally, people will work for whoever pays them the most.
If the two are about the same, he wouldn't mind giving the photos to the boss out of professional ethics. But if Lin Wan gives more, then they shouldn't blame them.
Twenty minutes later, the light on the phone screen circled two streets on the first ring road twice before starting to move forward. Ma Donglai immediately drove after it, and another half hour passed.
"It's in the direction of Bihe Yayuan."
With a clear target in mind, Ma Donglai quickly drove to the vicinity of Bihe Yayuan. The two got out of the car and first found a place to eat. Then, carrying their supplies, they headed straight for a residential area southeast of Bihe Yayuan. They had already scouted the location; according to the information provided by the boss, Lin Wan owned a house to the east of Bihe Yayuan.
There happened to be a high-rise residential area where the top floor was locked by the property management to prevent people from coming up to play. However, this did not stop the two men. They simply smashed the lock with a hammer. Fearing that someone might come up, the two men hung the lock on the top floor. As long as no one gets close, they should not be able to find out.
We arrived at the rooftop.
Ma Donglai began installing the equipment, while Ning Zheng lit several mosquito coils beside him.
The outdoor temperature is very high today, around 38 or 39 degrees Celsius. There's no way to solve the heat, but we definitely have to light mosquito coils, even if there aren't many mosquitoes. Mosquitoes that can fly that high are the elite among mosquitoes, and one bite will leave a big, itchy welt.
"Do you understand!?"
Ning Zheng asked.
"no problem"
Ma Donglai replied, "The boss has prepared a telephoto camera with night vision capabilities. It can capture every situation accurately."
The sky above the city was gradually darkening. While Ma Donglai was keeping watch, Ning Zheng found a plastic bag, leaned against the rooftop wall, and closed his eyes to rest.
no way.
Such surveillance is purely a matter of luck.
Having no idea when the other party would slip up, they could only take turns keeping an eye on them. After more than twenty minutes, Ning Zheng heard Ma Donglai call his name and got up to take over his preparations, aiming at the eighth floor of Bihe Yayuan across the street.
Time passed little by little.
The two continued their tumultuous exchange, and as the night deepened, just past eleven o'clock, Ma Donglai suddenly shouted, "Something's really happening tonight! Holy crap, they're kissing!"
Upon hearing Ma Donglai's words, Ning Zheng immediately stood up and craned his neck to look towards the eighth floor of Bihe Yayuan. Even though he had a good view, he couldn't see anything.
"They got a picture of her face, it really is Lin Wan, and the other one..."
Ma Donglai exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, it's actually Wang Zhi!"
Ning Zheng's hands were trembling slightly with excitement. He had guessed that something was going on tonight because Lin Wan's agent had taken her on such a long detour, and he hadn't expected it to actually happen.
A few minutes later.
Ma Donglai packed up his equipment and said with a smile, "We kissed for a while by the window, then figured we'd have to get down to business, so we couldn't take any more pictures. I really didn't expect Lin Wan to be able to do it; even someone like Wang Zhi wouldn't be able to."
"What do you mean!?"
Ning Zheng asked directly, "Send it to Miss Su and have her give it to the boss, or should we go find Lin Wan?"
"..."
Ma Donglai hesitated.
"Opportunity knocks but once."
Ning Zheng advised, "This video alone is enough for us to live on for a lifetime, Lao Ma. Don't hesitate, I'll go talk to Lin Wan. No matter how much it is, we'll split it in half."
Seeing that Ma Donglai looked somewhat conflicted, Ning Zheng directly pulled the memory card out of the camera, then took out the laptop he had brought with him from his bag, inserted the memory card, copied the contents, and then handed the laptop to Ma Donglai: "I'm going to talk to Lin Wan. Keep the video in the laptop. If Lin Wan doesn't keep her word, we'll give the contents to the boss."
