The concert was counting down. Ye Sichen wore a black and white costume and planned the stage effects with Lacy and others behind the scenes. Drummers, bassists, guitarists and keyboardists entered the concert scene in advance.
“Kids, stay here and play whatever you want first. When it’s time for your performance, keep your chin up.” Ye Sichen reminded them who were about to appear on the stage patiently.
“OK, we got it, Uncle Ye!”
“Uncle Ye, we will learn from you and show our perfect performance to the audience on the stage.”
“Very good.” Ye Sichen caressed their heads.
Xia Nuan pushed Wuyou and Nianci backstage. She could not help smiling when she saw him.
Such a smile was like a blooming red lotus. It was extremely charming.
Ye Sichen asked her to bring Wuyou and Nianci here in order to introduce them to the fans all over the world. In the meantime, she was worried that Ye Sichen would be framed by Shang Ze, so she wanted to come here as well.
Ye Sichen looked at her and had to shift his line of sight. He had to prepare for the opening concert together with Lacy. Outside, the music rang. The cheers from the fans and audience washed over them one after another.
On a big screen behind the scenes, the live broadcast was in progress. There were oceans of people shouting and waving their countless glow-sticks.
It was really astonishing.
“Ye Sichen! I love you! Ye Sichen! I love you!”
“How come no one said that she loves me? Well, I’m far inferior to you.” Lacy spread his hands and laughed at himself helplessly.
Then the staff and the children smiled as well.
Ye Sichen grinned and patted Lacy on his shoulder, “Let’s go.”
Lacy shrugged his shoulders and was ready to take the platform together with Ye Sichen. As he passed by Xia Nuan, he stopped.
Ye Sichen took a look at Xia Nuan and turned his eyesight to the front.
“Ms. Xia, I haven’t seen you for a long time! You seem more beautiful!” Lacy smiled.
Xia Nuan nodded generously, “Oh, thanks. Mr. Lacy becomes more handsome than before as well.”
“A handsome man should be matched with a beautiful woman. If you haven’t got a boyfriend, you can consider me absolutely.” Lacy took a pen, “Come here and give me your hand.”
“Mr. Lacy, what are you going to do?” Xia Nuan was a bit confused.
“Ms. Xia, I am at least somebody. Are you unwilling to ask me to sign my signature for you?” Lacy opened the pen cap.
After she heard that, she wore a slight smile. In order not to make him embarrassed, she reached out her hand, “How could it be possible? It is my great honor to get Mr. Lacy’s signature.”
Lacy signed his name on Xia Nuan’s palm. When she was about to draw back her hand, Lacy wrote a bunch of phone numbers on her hand.
“Call me if you like me.”
Ye Sichen turned around. After he saw this scene, he frowned.
“Lacy.” He called him out.
Seeing that Lacy held Xia Nuan’s hand and wrote something on her palm, Ye Sichen was a little jealous of him.
He didn’t want to see them so intimate to each other.
She could allow any man to touch her except him.
Only at midnight did he change to another person……
“I’m coming.”
Before Lacy left, his eyes sparkled as with electricity on Xia Nuan.
“It seems that Mr. Lacy wants to chase after Designer Xia.”
“Designer Xia, would you like to consider about it? Although Mr. Lacy flirts with one girl after another, he’s good on bed.”
A staff joked.
Xia Nuan was a little embarrassed, “No, I just asked Mr. Lacy to sign for me.”
Seeing the embarrassment, the staffs did not joke on her and Lacy any more. Then Xia Nuan played with the kids together with Wuyou and Nianci.
On the live broadcast screen behind the scenes, the crowd kept screaming at the sexy dance steps without stopping.
Lacy played magical and moving music. Coupling with Ye Sichen’s dynamic and glamorous steps, they could exactly be rated as perfect.
Xia Nuan burned with righteous indignation and she was obsessed with the stage on the big screen.
“Assistant Shang, it’s almost halftime. Prepare the water for Mr. Ye in advance, please. He dances and sings at the same time. It is no wonder that he dehydrates.” Manager Lian Kang came over and reminded Shang Ze who was busy nearby.
After recollecting herself, Xia Nuan saw that the brokerage assistant Shang Ze began to prepare water for Ye Sichen and the performers.
Xia Nuan was a little wary of him.
She did not forget the first time Shang Ze made a mysterious call. He mentioned the affair of putting Snow into the cups.
“Mr. Lian Kang, leave it to me please. I’m available now anyway.” Xia Nuan walked over and volunteered her services.
Hearing this, Shang Ze looked at Xia Nuan with appreciation, “Thank you, Designer Xia. It happens that I have other things to do. Thank you very much indeed.”
After Shang Ze finished, he left the studio behind the scenes.
Xia Nuan looked at Shang Ze’s back vigilantly. Seeing that he totally disappeared, she couldn’t help breathing a sigh of relief.
As Xia Nuan prepared the water and orange juice, she was worried about another thing.
During Shang Ze made the second call, he mentioned two female fans. Probably the two female fans bought the VIP tickets. However, did this have anything to do with Ye Sichen?
“Give me the water.” There was a sound of hoarse voice.
After Xia Nuan came to her sense, she saw Ye Sichen in a sweat all over appearing in front of her. Immediately, she handed the water prepared to Ye Sichen.
The sweat dripped from Ye Sichen’s forehead. He seemed to be much thinner.
Xia Nuan looked at him in a sorrow and said in a low voice, “Sir, do you find anything wrong with Shang Ze?”
“Mind your own business. Don’t ask too much about other affairs.”
Ye Sichen frowned.
Of course, he found that there was something wrong with Shang Ze. However, in order to find the planner behind the affair, he had to put up with it first.
Xia Nuan felt that she was a little redundant. Then she lowered her head and said softly, “I don’t have any rights to ask anything about it. But, sir, be careful.”
Ye Sichen answered her gravely.
“There are two fans in a serious coma. They were sitting at the VIP area and had already rushed to the emergency center.”
Assistant Ken and the stage director Ling Yunfeng walked over with solemn facial complexions.
Hearing their words, she suddenly felt anxious about something.
At Ye Sichen’s concert, it was quite normal that a lot of fans were so excited to be faint. However, tonight, the symptoms of the two fans were much more serious than before.
Ye Sichen frowned and was a little worried. He used a towel to wipe his forehead for a while. After that, he ordered Ken, “Using the best medical treatment equipment for them. Ken, arrange my schedule in advance. After the concert, I will visit them.”
Ken answered him and went away.
Xia Nuan was in a low spirit. Her eyelids kept jumping, which made her feel that something would happen.
The two serious-comatose girls mentioned by Ken almost coincided with the two girls that Shang Ze said.
“Mr. Ye! There is something wrong with the two girls!” Xia Nuan stepped forward, followed Ye Sichen and said to him in a high voice.
Ye Sichen stopped. He tilted his head slightly and looked at her, “You’ve talked too much today.”
“No, sir, Shang Ze, he……”
“The second half of the concert has already started. Stop it.” Ye Sichen was a bit annoyed.
He quickened his pace and walked towards the center of the stage.
Then there was another long-lasting cheer.
At the end of the concert, Ye Sichen gave the kids a chance to perform. Under the enlightenment of Ye Sichen, they danced vigorously.
Ye Sichen held Wuyou and Nianci and waved towards the fans off the stage.
Standing at somewhere not far from him, Xia Nuan noticed that there was something wrong with Ye Sichen.
When he held the babies, his hands were a little trembling. It seemed that he was in a dizzy but he gathered himself together.
Xia Nuan was getting more and more worried about him. She only hoped that this charity concert would come to an end as soon as possible.
Finally, the four-hour concert was over. However, the moment Ye Sichen went behind the scenes, he fainted.
Everyone was in a muddle.
Although the concert was over, the fans outside were still there. They were waiting for Ye Sichen appearing in front of them.
At this moment, the crazy scene was more serious than before, and it even caused traffic jams.
Over the sky of Feicheng City, a whistling siren sounded.
The security personnel began to evacuate fans so that the police cars could pass easily.
Ye Sichen was carried on the ambulance by the staff secretly. Xia Nuan was worried about him and eager to follow him, but she was stopped by the staff. Besides, Wuyou and Nianci needed to be looked after as well.
At this time, the police car parked outside Ye Sichen’s concert venue, preventing the ambulance from moving forward. All the fans were curious about it.
Why were there so many police officers coming suddenly?
Did it have anything to do with Ye Sichen?
“Sorry, someone called us and said that during the concert, Ye Sichen sold the fans the prohibited items, causing the two fans’ death directly. We need to confirm it.”
The headed police officer confronted Ken and Ling Yunfeng face to face.
Crack! Crack!
The reporters kept photographing on the side of the security line. They took pictures so carefully for fear of missing any details.
These reporters were as acute as cats. Once they heard any grapevines, they would come over the first time. Even if it was crowded, they would try their best to be at front.
“Well. We fully cooperate with your investigation.” Ken said frankly, “But Mr. Ye is unconscious because of the tiredness. He needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment. So, everything should be settled until Mr. Ye wakes up.”
The police agreed with him without hesitation and allowed Ye Sichen to get on the ambulance. Then they followed the ambulance towards the hospital.
Suddenly, the fans knew that the police’s coming had something to do with Ye Sichen.
The commotion caused by the fans and journalists was completely uncontrollable. They followed Ye Sichen on that very night, which was like a big migration.
Fans were concerned about Ye Sichen, while those reporters just wanted to shoot more negative news.
Xia Nuan suddenly was aware of something.
The two girls bought VIP tickets that were closer to the concert stage, and then during the concert, they fainted to death without knowing whether it was man-made or accidental.
In this way, Ye Sichen was naturally related to their deaths.
Their deaths must be related to Shang Ze. He planned it! Moreover, Jin schemed it together with him as well. Last time, when Xia Nuan eavesdropped on the phone call by Shang Ze, he had mentioned this woman called Jin.
Jin always wanted to extort money, but, unsuccessfully, she was sent to prison by Ye Sichen’s team, which made her want to take revenge on him in turn, so she plotted this despicable scheme together with Shang Ze!
Xia Nuan remembered that she still had the recording, which was the evidence of Jin’s blackmail. She couldn’t help finding out that recording and listened to it with a headphone.
Instantly, she was aware that the recording was not enough to show that this incident was a conspiracy. She must collect more evidences.
