Chapter 622: How Could It Be Such an Inconvenient Thing?

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!

A group of top-tier stars who had gathered for no apparent reason scattered clean away in a rush within two minutes of entering the venue.

Still, before they ran off, every one of them gave Bai Liang, their big brother ringleader, a look of "respect."

No wonder the guy can sit at the top and hold steady as today's number one~

Just this kind of pressure resistance alone isn't something an ordinary person can match.

Everyone was already looking for "Where Did Daddy Go," so at a moment like this, the suspected top stars really didn't dare get too close with any of the female artists, for fear of being framed.

Yet the moment Bai Liang entered, he was met with a wave of gazes—coquettish, resentful, suspicious, teasing.

Anyone with eyes could tell: even if Bai Liang wasn't the "mastermind" behind the "Where Did Daddy Go" case, the guy wasn't exactly innocent either.

As the saying goes, courage is humanity's hymn of praise.

In a scene like this, Bai Liang actually still dared to swagger right over—on this point alone, everyone was impressed.

Of course, being impressed is one thing, but most of the top stars were still hoping for a double blessing.

For instance, the ringleader big brother "dying" on the spot for them to see~

Without him, that would really be what matters to them!

Naturally, Bai Liang didn't disappoint everyone. Before he'd taken a few steps, he ran into his first trial.

"Over here~" ×2!

Honestly, the artists were still filing in, and it was a bit chaotic inside, so Bai Liang couldn't immediately tell which two people were calling him.

Because at this moment, at least four Misses were waving at him—that was the number he caught in a quick glance, and there might have been more he missed.

The meaning was obvious.

Sure enough!

This scene... had never appeared before.

In the past, this kind of move was something only Na Zha would pull; even Reba would hold back a little. But now... the number of young ladies wanting to play their cards openly had surged!

Enough to tear Bai Liang limb from limb! They could rip him apart alive.

Facing such a dire situation, Bai Liang didn't change expression, which made Lu Han—the only one who hadn't yet fled from his side—admire him immensely.

As expected of you, Bai Bai Daxian!

Lu Han felt he really lost to the other man without any injustice. Just this calm-in-the-face-of-a-mountaining-collapse mentality alone—he asked himself, he could never pull it off.

He was dying to know: how exactly did Bai Liang do it? Had he already figured out a response in advance?

Bai Liang: Simple—because there's nothing I can do~

He could actually sense that today's situation was one that had never appeared before. To put it more bluntly, in the Misses' eyes, Bai Liang's suspicion in the "Where Did Daddy Go" matter was actually far heavier than what netizens thought!

They all knew this bastard liked to spit on the ground wherever he pleased.

No one understood better than the parties who had experienced it firsthand.

"Go to your own seat, don't block the way, dear~"

Though laughing inside, Xiao Shui still reached out a hand at this moment—somehow producing a placard and hanging it around her neck, then began guiding Bai Liang, leading him toward his assigned seat.

The vice president personally leading the way, and looking ready to chat with Bai Liang for a bit—at this point, the Misses who'd wanted to call him over weren't about to keep waving; they temporarily stood down.

Feeling the killing intent temporarily subside, Bai Liang himself hadn't even reacted yet, but Lu Han beside him, after giving him a thumbs-up, finally couldn't take it anymore and slipped away.

If he didn't leave now, and someone chopped this guy's head off and the trouble spread to him, what then?

Besides, his girlfriend was waving at him too—perfect chance to go over and share the melon he'd just eaten.

As for whether next year on this date would be Bai Liang's death anniversary, Lu Han swore he'd go burn a stick of incense for him.

"I suggest you sit with Sister Tian Tian today and chat more. Your drama hasn't finished airing yet—it's the perfect time for after-service work, and the reason is solid enough."

Hearing Xiao Shui's words, Bai Liang rubbed his chin. "Feels like something's off~"

Off is right!

This was the "brilliant scheme" Sister Tian Tian had wracked her brains to come up with!

As her bestie, Xiao Shui was just responsible for delivering this one line.

But she herself felt... Sister Tian Tian was "courting death"!

She'd already stirred up that pregnancy rumor before—already conspicuous enough, with countless people secretly watching her, guessing whether she'd secretly crossed the line~

Yet now she still wanted to stand herself up as a target to be "shot at"—the Xinjiang beauties not far off were about to breathe fire~

Xiao Shui thought it over and felt only "an artist's professional cultivation" could possibly restrain these women, so that today's scene wouldn't turn into something absurd like a brawl.

In a private setting, they would absolutely already be fighting.

Of course, even in a setting like this, certain lovesick fools going overboard were still an unstable factor.

Lovesickness is a ridiculous thing—they don't necessarily put their career above love, and can easily do something impulsive, making the scene spiral out of control.

So no matter how Xiao Shui looked at it, the scene felt exactly like a pressure cooker pushed to its limit—ready to blow at any moment.

At the same time, plenty of people were hoping this pressure cooker would explode~

This was about the only flaw in Bai Liang.

After all, apart from his private life in this area, you really couldn't find any other dirt on the guy.

At this moment, there was one guy who wanted Bai Liang to "explode" on site more than anyone—best if it could draw all the attention away.

Only a player of Bai Liang's caliber producing earth-shattering news could minimize the impact of his own situation.

Maybe by then no one would even be paying attention to the "Where Did Daddy Go" incident.

Hua Chengyu's thinking was pretty rosy—if Bai Liang blew up, it really could bury his own petty mess.

But from another angle, if his side blew up first, the pressure cooker on Bai Liang's end could immediately release most of its pressure and return to calm.

And right now, neither of them held the button for that switch.

It all depends on what the baby's mama is thinking~

Ah Kun gave a puzzled glance at Hua Chengyu beside him, whose forehead and cheeks were both sweating, and thought, Is this guy that hot? It's winter right now. With the AC on, I'm even a bit chilly myself, since the venue is so big.

Their seats were next to each other, but after sitting down neither of them had said a word.

Hua Chengyu was holding his phone, replying to messages every now and then, his lips pressed tightly together, looking as if he were very busy.

Yet he still insisted on putting on an air of nonchalance.

But he was a singer, and his acting skills were basically next to nothing—even Ah Kun could tell something was off about this guy.

Earlier, Ah Kun had grown a bit nervous because he had also just done something shady, but now he had relaxed considerably—otherwise he wouldn't have had the spare attention to keep an eye on Hua Chengyu.

Happiness is something that comes from comparison.

Men, after all, sometimes really can't keep it in their pants. Ah Kun was a man too—besides singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball, he had very normal hobbies of his own.

But compared with big brother Bai Liang, what did his little trifle amount to?

Sure enough, jerking off to noodles is the true way! Female celebrities are not to be trifled with!

Just as he had reached this conclusion in his heart, Ah Kun suddenly felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

He pulled it out and glanced at it casually.

Just one glance!

He went rigid on the spot, as if someone had cast a Body-Fixing Spell on him.

This time it was Hua Chengyu, who had just finished replying to a message, who felt something was off about him. What's up with this kid?
