Capítulo 1146: Chapter 1146 Zhao Xiaotang actually wanted to help, but she still had a lot of trouble herself. So she could only stand by helplessly, but she didn’t know why she felt a sense of unease. This uneasy feeling was very uncomfortable, as if something bad was happening. How could Zhao Xiaotang know that her mom was kneeling on the ground being disciplined by Guo Hailong. At this moment, Zhang Yang finally spoke: “Everyone doesn’t need to be nervous, rest assured. This time we’ll work together and surely succeed in bringing Xiao Man back.” “Here, I, Zhang Yang, thank you in advance.” Zhang Yang sincerely appreciated it, even though he couldn’t offer them much. But these women were still willing to come and help him wholeheartedly, there’s no way he wasn’t moved. Seeing Zhang Yang so serious, the women felt a bit uncomfortable. Jiang Meiren was the first to speak: “What are you doing? No need to be so formal.” The others agreed, Zhang Yang smiled and then said: “Thanks are still in order, but actually we need to figure out one thing now.” The group looked at Zhang Yang curiously, Xu Mengyan asked: “What is it?” “The question is why did they bring Xiao Man here? What’s the purpose of attending the Starlight Award?” “If they were really targeting me, they could simply set up a trap or ambush somewhere and let me go there, their chances of success would be greater.” “Why make it so troublesome?” Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s words, everyone suddenly understood, indeed there are many mysteries in this matter. Jin Tuantuan slapped the table, “What’s the big deal, who cares what their purpose is, as long as we find Xiao Man and rescue her, it’s fine.” That’s not wrong, but knowing yourself and your enemy allows you to win a hundred battles without danger. If we can understand the opponent’s purpose, things will be much easier. “Tomorrow night is the Starlight Award, it’s difficult to investigate anything now, so let’s forget it. Jin Tuantuan is right, what’s urgent is to discuss how to rescue her,” Xu Mengyan suggested. Zhang Yang certainly understood this principle but still felt that without figuring this out, it was hard to rescue Xiao Man. At this moment, Shen Mange suddenly thought of something. Then she said to Zhang Yang: “If they really have some purpose, they should let Xiao Man appear as an actor or guest, maybe even on stage.” “It absolutely won’t be just as a spectator, right? That would be of no use.” “Moreover, it would be easily exposed. If you think that way, can’t we reverse infer it?” “If she were an actor or guest, what can they achieve by having her here?” Shen Mange’s words became increasingly convincing. However, none of them understood the intricacies of the Starlight Award; they weren’t part of the industry, so they could only let Shen Mange ponder over it. But for a moment, Shen Mange couldn’t figure it out either, and could only apologetically say to Zhang Yang: “Allow me to go back and think it over carefully; if I come up with anything, I’ll tell you right away.” Zhang Yang smiled and comforted, “No hurry, even if we can’t figure it out, it’s okay.” “Tuantuan is right, after all, our goal is saving people. Now the entire venue of the Starlight Award, whether backstage or on stage, or in the audience seats, is within our control. As long as Xiao Man appears, it’s not a big issue.” “But I have only one request, if you encounter any danger, don’t be reckless, call me first thing.” Zhang Yang seriously instructed everyone present. Tomorrow night, there will be too many people coming over, a total of tens of thousands, including many media reporters, stars, actors, business moguls. In short, the scene is already chaotic enough; if something happens, Zhang Yang won’t be able to act fast enough to save everyone. Thus, Zhang Yang must put his words forward to let these women know the dangers of tomorrow night’s operation. “Tuantuan, you are responsible for dispatching some experts from the organization to protect Shen Mange backstage, as well as protecting Xia Xue and the others.” “I, Jiang Meiren, and Xu Mengyan will stay in the monitoring room waiting for news, once we find anything, we’ll act immediately.” “And no matter what anomaly you find, don’t act independently, don’t do anything dangerous, you must notify me in time, understand? Whoever dares not to obey, if I catch them, I’ll strip her naked in front of everyone and spank her.” That punishment sounds quite intimidating. After all, there are quite a few people present, public shame, isn’t that something! Even the more open and bold Jiang Meiren couldn’t bear it. Chen Yun saw this scene and couldn’t help but feel some admiration. Twas today she found out Zhang Yang was surrounded by so many beautiful women. And not just those present, but several others over in Dragon Country, like Dr. Cheng Yue, and those young girls. No one knows when Zhang Yang started this. As the time progressed, Zhang Yang and the others discussed various details together. Many hands make light work, everyone brought forward whatever they could think of. Just like that a night passed in a flash. By the next day, Guo Hailong’s side was quite lively. Mrs. Zhao slept soundly after midnight, due mainly to being tormented by Guo Hailong in the first half. She slept past nine in the morning, only waking from a full bladder, otherwise, she’d continue sleeping. At that moment, Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt a tearing pain from below. All the events of last night suddenly came back to her. Mrs. Zhao sat up abruptly, finding Guo Hailong already gone. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire.net Not seeing Guo Hailong was a relief for Mrs. Zhao; he was the last person she wanted to see now. Without further thought, she quickly dressed, grabbed her purse, and hurried out. Back in her car, Mrs. Zhao dared not reflect on last night’s happenings. She could only hope fervently that Guo Hailong wouldn’t leak the recordings. Otherwise, she’d be socially dead. At this moment, Mrs. Zhao suddenly remembered another important thing and quickly opened her purse to retrieve the new contract signed with Guo Hailong. But upon searching, she found the contract missing; Mrs. Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, and she began frantically rummaging through her purse, finally dumping out its contents but still not finding the contract. “Damn it, Guo Hailong must have taken it,” she thought, and the next second, Mrs. Zhao ran back to the house.
