The next day.
The sun was shining brightly.
Chen Feng woke up naturally after a good night's sleep.
So refreshing!
Suddenly, he felt a sense of relief.
It was as if… nothing else mattered anymore.
Life was actually very simple.
Just live each day well.
So, what was today's theme?
Oh!
That’s right, he had promised to spend the day with Han Tao and the others today.
There were also A Yi and Tao Yilun who hadn't left yet.
The five of them planned to have a blast in Jiangnan City today.
So, Chen Feng casually picked up his phone and turned it on.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…
The phone vibrated frantically.
Countless messages poured in.
Were they congratulatory messages again?
No!
There were also missed calls.
Chen Feng opened his phone and glanced at it, and as he read, his lips curled slightly.
It turned out Xu Nuo had been caught.
And that murderer.
His real name was Qiao San'er.
The police's lead was naturally provided by Chen Feng.
A single anonymous call had taken care of it.
After a night of intensive interrogation by the police, Qiao San'er hadn't even cracked, but Xu Nuo couldn't hold on and confessed everything.
Indeed, the murderer who killed Luo Deyong was Qiao San'er.
The charge was robbery and murder.
The mastermind behind it was Xu Nuo.
Chen Feng shook his head.
This big idiot had been abandoned.
Did he think that by clinging to foreign capital, he could rest easy and rake in money crazily in the country?
If anything happened, who else would they abandon but him?
Was it that easy to take advantage of others?
From the police's announcement, Xu Nuo had confessed voluntarily, which likely meant the people behind him had instructed him to take the fall for everything.
Therefore, Vice Director Xu Ming and the blonde foreigner Mike Martin were kept out of it.
Many people had sent him messages on his phone.
All about Xu Nuo's arrest.
He was originally a hot favorite to win the championship, but Chen Feng unexpectedly knocked him out.
If not for Chen Feng, he would have very likely won the championship.
Now that he was arrested, and even involved in a murder case, the news completely exploded online.
Chen Feng looked at it for a while and then put down his phone.
This matter was not over yet.
Xu Nuo was just cannon fodder.
There was a Shen Mi Ren behind him coveting the Outer Eight Sects' token, and they would come for him sooner or later.
Chen Feng decided to wait and see.
Unless the old ghost behind it was dealt with, he would always feel uneasy.
...
Ten minutes later, he finished washing up.
He had already received Han Tao's gathering message on his phone.
Chen Feng took his phone, left the room, and walked towards the restaurant on the third floor.
They were waiting in the restaurant.
They were preparing to have breakfast together.
The itinerary for later was reportedly already arranged.
He didn't know where these few people wanted to go to have fun.
Chen Feng quickly arrived at the third-floor restaurant and saw the four of them already gathered and eating breakfast from a distance.
There were many people in the restaurant.
Many of them were fans who came to see them.
When they saw Chen Feng enter, there was a burst of cheers and screams.
Fortunately, the assistants of the other four people and the company staff were already present and could restrain the fans, otherwise the scene would have been chaotic.
One must know that Chen Feng, Han Tao, and Yu Zhiwen were the newly crowned top three champions of the popular variety show.
A Yi and Tao Yilun were also in the top five.
And their popularity was not low.
The current traffic of these five people was comparable to some first-tier celebrities.
Naturally, they needed protection when outside.
Except for Chen Feng, the other four companies already had their own people present to protect their artists.
"Old Chen, hurry up."
Han Tao enthusiastically waved from afar.
"Coming."
Chen Feng responded, while smiling and nodding to the fans who were blocked outside, putting his hands together to express gratitude.
This feeling was actually quite fresh.
Half a year ago, no one recognized him when he walked on the street.
Now, he finally had a fan base.
Walking to the dining table, Han Tao and Tao Yilun both pulled Chen Feng down to sit.
"The champion is finally here."
"Old Chen, you're so composed. You even turned off your phone when you slept? You can sleep until you wake up naturally. I really admire you, how can you not be excited at all after winning the championship?"
"Exactly, Feng Ge. How do you feel now?"
"I think he really seems very calm."
The other four started chattering.
Chen Feng smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'm also very excited, but I wanted to sleep in even more, that's why I turned off my phone."
A Yi, who was diagonally opposite, smiled sweetly and pushed the breakfast on the table in front of him: "This is the breakfast prepared for you. See if it suits your taste. If not, call the waiter to order again."
Yu Zhiwen immediately interjected: "Feng Ge, this was personally chosen for you by A Yi Jie. She said that according to your taste, you should like this."
A Yi's face immediately turned red.
She kicked Yu Zhiwen under the table.
Han Tao also smiled and nodded: "I can vouch for that. A Yi personally chose it for you. Try it, it's authentic soup dumplings and tofu pudding."
Chen Feng glanced at A Yi.
When their eyes met, A Yi's face turned even redder.
It was as if something was going on.
Chen Feng quickly nodded: "Thanks, I really wanted to try soup dumplings, so I won't be polite."
After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating silently.
Tao Yilun on the other side suddenly asked in a low voice: "Old Chen, have you seen the news? About Xu Nuo? He was arrested."
"Hmm, I saw it."
Chen Feng continued to eat silently.
"Sigh, it's really unexpected. I lived with him in the Actor Cabin for so many days before. I didn't expect him to be such a person, it's too terrifying."
"Yeah, on the surface, you couldn't tell at all."
Yu Zhiwen looked puzzled: "The key is, I can't see any reason for him to hire a murderer for robbery and murder. Is he short of money? He plays with Dodge Tomahawks! It's simply inexplicable."
"He might not be short of money, he might be interested in that auction item."
"That's true."
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly looked up at the four people: "Everyone, what's the itinerary for today?"
"Oh, you should ask Zhiwen about that."
Han Tao pointed at Yu Zhiwen.
Chen Feng looked at her in surprise.
Yu Zhiwen smiled sweetly and said: "Feng Ge, my dad is here. The big boss of the company is also here. Oh, and Yu Jinhua is here too."
Chen Feng was stunned: "Yu Jinhua is here too."
"Yes."
Yu Zhiwen secretly clicked her tongue.
Among everyone she knew, Chen Feng was the only one who dared to call Yu Jinhua by his full name.
Chen Feng continued to eat his bun: "What's he doing here? He didn't even say hello to me."
Yu Zhiwen chuckled softly: "Yu Jinhua specifically told me not to tell you. He said he wanted to give you a surprise."
Chen Feng: "..."
He's not a woman, why play with surprises?
He didn't have the leisure to play surprises with Yu Jinhua.
Yu Zhiwen added: "Actually, there's one more person who came. He specifically wanted to meet you, so my dad and the company people invited Yu Jinhua to come along, and we'll set up a gathering tonight for everyone to get together."
Chen Feng looked up again: "Who wants to see me?"
"Xing Ye."
"Who?"
"Xing Ye, he wants to see you."
Chen Feng blinked: "He proactively said he wanted to see me?"
"Yes."
Yu Zhiwen said excitedly: "Xing Ye said it's his first time seeing an actor like you. And, he watched last night's finals. He said he really wants to meet you and definitely wants to collaborate if there's an opportunity."
"Alright."
Chen Feng finally smiled.
He really wanted to meet Xing Ye.
His childhood idol, it would always be a regret not to meet him.
Moreover, meeting Xing Ye should provide an opportunity to experience a role.
With Xing Ye's wild imagination, the roles he'd get to experience would probably be very interesting.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, Chen Feng's phone vibrated.
He casually placed his phone on the table, answered the call, put it on speaker, and continued eating his bun.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this Chen Feng? I am Jiang Lin, the director of Aerospace 909 Institute."
Chen Feng immediately froze.
The others around him also closed their mouths, all looking at Chen Feng with strange expressions.
Chen Feng swallowed the food in his mouth in two or three bites and quickly replied: "Hello, Director Jiang, is there something else you need me for?"
"Cough, cough, that... there's still something. I wonder if you're free today? Academician Fang still wants to talk to you about the project."
Chen Feng: "..."
He reached for a napkin, wiped his mouth, picked up his phone, stood up, and quickly walked away.
Han Tao and the others were completely petrified.
