The Scandal Plan
“No.” The man’s reply was cold and concise.
An Xiaowan looked at Assistant Luo.
Assistant Luo nodded his head and replied, “I do look at it sometimes, but I don’t constantly keep an eye on it.”
An Xiaowan straightened her back and looked at both Huo Shen and Assistant Luo, before she said, “Suppose, you saw a scoop on a popular celebrity. There are two pictures, one shows a blurry side view of her leaving a hotel, and another showing a blurry view of her back while being hugged by a man.”
Assistant Luo turned back and looked at her curiously.
“What would you think?” An Xiaowan continued asking.
Assistant Luo looked at Huo Shen, and when he realized Huo Shen would not say anything, Assistant Luo spoke. “I would want to pay attention and follow up on this news as I would be very curious. If the picture shows her face, then it would be more reliable.”
An Xiaowan nodded her head and looked at Huo Shen.
His expression was so cold and detached. She thought Huo Shen wouldn’t bother replying to her, but unexpectedly he opened his mouth and spoke.
“First, look from the front to see if it was the same person. Second, check if the hotel in the background is the same one. Third, see if the back view looks similar. Fourth, check if the timestamps on the photos are correct.” Huo Shen explained in his calm and magnetic voice.
Instead of answering her question, he started analyzing the points which would require more deduction to know the correct situation.
An Xiaowan silently memorized what Huo Shen said, and her smile widened.
“So if you think that everything cross-checks when you look at it, then does it mean any argument or clarification made by the celebrity would not matter anymore?”
Assistant Luo nodded his head. “Yes, with concrete proof, it will no longer matter what the celebrity says. There have been cases of celebrities who were caught taking drugs or having an extramarital affair. They all tried explaining themselves repeatedly on Weibo, but it was useless. They were still targeted by the public.”
“Okay.”
An Xiaowan leaned back again, and her eyes were brimming with brilliant colors.
So, if there’s a scandal without any proof, she can just create proof instead!
Assistant Luo asked curiously, “Why is Ms. An asking about this?”
An Xiaowan smiled profoundly. “It was nothing.”
Noticing that she didn’t want to reply, Assistant Luo stopped asking. However, looking at her expression, he had a feeling that misfortune was going to befall on someone.
Back at the villa, Huo Shen walked into the master bedroom and slammed the door shut with a
“bam”
.
An Xiaowan was happy. She went back to her bedroom, the one adjacent to Huo Shen’s, and fell into a deep sleep on her bed.
It was a tiring day.
—
Once she had a plan, An Xiaowan immediately started its implementation.
First, she needed an actor.
Then, she would need to wait for a day when An Xue had a social engagement.
This day would not be too far away.
A week later, An Xue was going to start shooting for a movie. This movie was going to be her first step into the film industry as a supermodel. A day before the shoot, all investors, main actors, directors, scriptwriters, and other crucial members gathered at the Dragon Court Clubhouse for a meal.
The gathering was very grand.
An Xiaowan had already changed into a waiter’s uniform and mixed into the crowd long ago.
An Xiaowan thought she managed to sneak into the Clubhouse without anyone knowing. However, she wasn’t aware that the moment she entered the Clubhouse, Assistant Luo already received a ‘report’ on her sneaky activity.
He immediately walked into Huo Shen’s office and spoke, “Young Master Huo, Ms. An sneaked into the ‘Dragon Court Clubhouse’ in a waiter’s uniform.”
Huo Shen stopped writing. He looked up and saw the photo from the CCTV surveillance footage in Assistant Luo’s hands.
“Is there any important gathering today?”
“The crew from the movie “Warring Dynasty” is having a grand gathering today at the clubhouse, and…”
“Wait. Who are the actors in this movie?” Huo Shen leaned back, and his eyes deepened.
“There’s the famous actor Lin Hua, An Xue… Wait, An Xue!” Executive Assistant Luo was stunned as he swiftly turned to look at Huo Shen.
The lips of the gorgeous man with chiseled face curled up imperceptibly.
His eyes squinted as he nodded slightly. He ordered coldly. “Let An Xiaowan in. No one is to stop her no matter what she does tonight.”
