Chapter 129

Old Song grabbed some eggs and buns here, handed them to the two of them, and said, "Don't forget to eat."

The two of them nodded and left right away.

In the morning, a small case had basically become Forensic Ji's daily routine—almost every day, at any moment, some sudden situation could pop up, and these sudden situations were exactly what the audience both liked and disliked the most.

They liked them the most because these cases really were interesting.

They disliked them because someone got hurt.

Old Liu said, "What do you want Chen Fan for?"

"To shoot a promotional piece. We're planning to have Chen Fan play the role of a child trafficker. Over at the school, we'll run a drill—kind of a promotion, to give today's parents and schools a heads-up."

Qu Yiling lowered her head and didn't speak, but inside she was actually very happy.

Because of her, the trafficking matter had been brought up, and because of her, this incident would ferment, people would take it seriously, and in the future, so many children wouldn't be lost.

Chen Fan said, "My request is actually very simple. I can play the trafficker, but you can't interfere with me. If you can't catch me, then that's on you for being incompetent."

Old Song said, "You're not planning to use the show's name to satisfy some criminal desire inside you, are you?"

"Yes."

No, wait, hold up—what the hell is this?

"No way, you're playing it this big? I'm actually starting to look forward to it—what the heck is going on."

"Wow, there's actually a real crime drill? Hahahaha, I'm getting curious too."

"I can't take it, I think Chen Fan is definitely going to mess up."

"Mm, how should I put it, it just feels off, the vibe is way too strong."

Afterward, Chen Fan took Zhang Tianxiong and the others off to make plans, while Old Song, after hastily eating breakfast, went back to coordinate with the police and SWAT officers at the bureau.

"If Chen Fan really can't control himself, just shoot him dead on the spot."

A few SWAT officers were stunned and said, "Ah, for real?"

"It's fine, they're drill rounds, rubber bullets, but they still hurt when they hit you. Shoot him, beat him within an inch of his life."

One SWAT officer said, "Uh, Old Song, is it really necessary? How big a grudge can you two have?"

"He seduced my daughter."

"Well, if that's the case, don't worry, we'll definitely give Chen Fan a full burst."

All these scenes were recorded by the cameraman. The director was very fond of this kind of drill, and after carefully calculating, it seemed that all the things Chen Fan Society knew were quite suited for crime.

This guy always maxed out his points on weird skills.

On the production team's observation room side, the screen was split into two—one was the variety show's few new guests.

The other was the school Chen Fan was heading to.

Hu Ge said, "Sister Jing Tian, who do you think will be arranged as today's guest?"

"Not sure, haven't gotten any news. Probably the director found someone last minute. After all, anyone who comes on this show gets popular—it's just whether they can handle it, that's unknown."

Qin Ming said, "I feel like it'll be two young Misses."

Hu Ge coughed twice, and seeing the murderous look in Sister Jing Tian's eyes, Qin Ming shut up immediately.

Today's black qipao gave Sister Jing Tian an instant extra kind of unusual cold-storage vibe.

This wealthy and noble entertainment industry big sister was a topic of conversation wherever she went. The only pity was that no matter how hard she tried, she just never seemed to get popular.

Meanwhile, at the kindergarten gate, Old Song was standing together with a few teachers, beginning to explain to the children about child trafficking.

And he introduced it very seriously to them.

Chen Fan stood beside Old Song, not speaking.

Old Song said, "Everyone remember, from now on, if a stranger gives you candy, you absolutely must not take it, understand?"

The children nodded their heads earnestly.

"Chen Fan, go demonstrate."

Chen Fan, with a dark expression, took the lollipop and hesitated a little.

Old Song said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Let's get one thing straight first—you're not allowed to hit me."

Old Song nodded.

Then Chen Fan went up to a child, waved the lollipop around twice. The child's eyes instantly lit up, then reached out and dove straight into Chen Fan's arms.

The teachers and Old Song were all speechless, and so was the audience.

No, wait, why though?

Chen Fan gave one to another child, and that child also followed and climbed into Chen Fan's arms.

"Uh, do you guys think I still need to demonstrate?"

Then Old Song gave the candy to Zhang Tianxiong and said, "You try."

Zhang Tianxiong awkwardly walked up to the child, handed the candy over, and the child took one look at Zhang Tianxiong and immediately started running.

"Teacher, teacher, there's a bad guy!"

No, do I really look that much like a bad guy?

Zhang Tianxiong felt a bit down. This broad-shouldered, thick-waisted man was actually a little cute, and being disliked by the child made him feel terrible all over.

Old Song, curious, took the candy and tried it himself. The child still trusted Old Song because of his clothes.

Huh, where did things go wrong?

"Chen Fan, do you know these kids?"

"I don't."

"Then why aren't the kids screaming? Did you drug them? No, wait, these are kids, you wouldn't dare. What exactly is going on?"

"Sigh, I really don't know, stop asking."

Old Song mulled it over for a long time, and finally arrived at a conclusion.

Everyone looked at Old Song.

"It's very likely that you're really suited for trafficking people."

?????

No, bro, are you praising me here, or cursing me out?

By now, the bullet comments had already exploded.

"Hahahaha, I strongly suggest — shows like this, bring more of them, really, you absolutely have to bring more of them."

"Right, right, right, definitely bring more of them, I'm dying of laughter, Chen Fan is just a born criminal."

": No way, this guy's a forensic examiner, right? I came here to watch a forensic examiner, right?"

"So what if he's a forensic examiner? A forensic examiner can't have a side gig? Pretty boys' side gigs are all forensic examining, and a forensic examiner's side gig is being a criminal — what's wrong with that?"

"It's decided then — trafficker, Chen Fan."

Old Song looked at the situation before him, finding it a bit beyond his control, and said: "Chen Fan, you go out. In a bit, you do your thing, and we'll be in charge of catching you over here. I really want to see what tricks you're playing."

Chen Fan chuckled and left, taking Zhang Tianxiong with him.

Meanwhile, in the observation room, new guests had arrived.

Standing beside Liu Yan was Zhang Xinyu.

The two greeted Sister Jing Tian, and Sister Jing Tian said: "You two really dare to risk your lives — interesting. I didn't expect it to be you two; I thought it would be some popular young actress."

"Mm, we're not picky."

Liu Yan, on the other hand, was very straightforward and directly stated One's own thoughts.

Zhang Xinyu said: "I'm just here to ride the hype a bit. By the way, where's Chen Fan?"

Sister Jing Tian pointed at the screen and said: "Over there, cooking up something nasty."

"Isn't he a forensic examiner?"

Teacher He explained: "He was borrowed away from us over here. They want to ride Chen Fan's popularity to help promote awareness about trafficking, hoping parents will stay vigilant — that way, they can do their best to reduce cases of human trafficking."

"Don't see him anywhere though?"

Sister Jing Tian said: "Do you really think Chen Fan can play a good guy?"

Ugh — the two newly arrived guests couldn't hold it in and started laughing.

Liu Yan, in a white shirt, sat down very casually. Zhang Xinyu, in a sexy form-fitting dress, sat down beside Liu Yan, and instantly the observation room took on a sultry, alluring air.

Got to admit it — for this round of casting, the director really put in the work.

The bloody brutality of a forensic examiner, paired with the sultry allure Liu Yan and Zhang Xinyu brought — the impact on everyone's five senses was at its peak.

Meanwhile, the cameraman followed beside Chen Fan, using a small portable camera he carried on him, one that wouldn't be noticed by people.
