The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3577 Thief
"Don't look so sad, are you afraid that Li Menglong will laugh at you?" The girls thought they understood Xu Xian's mind and immediately assured her: "Don't worry, we will help you pay for it!"

The girls gave the best solution they could think of, while also taking Xu Xian's self-esteem into consideration.

As for the price, it's nothing more than each of them paying some money. No one should object, right?

In fact, this practice of one person representing the collective can easily lead to internal strife.

Let’s not talk about whether everyone is willing to pay. Even if they are willing, why should they be represented by one person? Are you the only good person in the team?

But the girls don’t have this problem. They believe that Seohyun can understand everyone’s feelings. As for the one who danced the most happily, they can talk about it later.

Is it because you’ve made too much money recently that it’s a bit hot to the touch?
If that's the case, we are all sisters and they can definitely help spend some of the money.

Seeing that the people on the opposite side had just reached a consensus, but in the blink of an eye, there was a tendency of infighting again, Xu Xian had to say that these sisters were very real.

Faced with their kindness, Xu Xian could only say that she appreciated it.

They don't need to worry about the money, it's not a lot and she can afford it herself.

As for being afraid of being laughed at by Li Menglong, that might be part of the reason, but it is impossible to hide it from him after all.

Even if she has finished handling the matter, she still needs to give feedback to Li Menglong, after all, it involves issues of subsequent cooperation and even accountability.

The most Xu Xian can do is to minimize the losses, but given the size of the company, they might be able to punish the other party at an official level.

Xu Xian herself has no good feelings towards this kind of black sheep. Not only does she not sympathize with him, she even hopes that he will die.

If cursing people in public would not damage her image, Xu Xian would have turned into a shrew and started cursing by now.

The feeling of being cheated is so terrible. Even if you don’t care about the money, you will still feel extremely frustrated.

She might even feel a little guilty and ashamed, wondering why she was the one being deceived. Was there something wrong with her, Xu Xian?

Fortunately, Xu Xian is strong enough inside. After being an artist for so many years, her mentality has long been as steady as an old dog.

Originally, Xu Xian was waiting to confess to Li Menglong, but the staff she contacted before gave her good news.

To be precise, it was Xu Xian herself who discovered it. Against the "devastated" background of the other company, Xu Xian keenly noticed some scattered props piled up against the wall.

It stands to reason that since even the desks had been emptied, there was no way any valuable items would be left behind.

But it was so strange that no one took the things piled in the corner.

Xu Xian immediately contacted the other party and tried to get a few more photos, but the other person was not there at all.

So she could only look at the enlarged photo again and again, which made the girls beside her nervous. Could something have happened again?

Sensing the girls' worries, although Seohyun was still not completely sure, she still wanted to share her joy with them: "Ouni, it seems there is still hope. It seems our props are not lost!"

Xu Xian's words made the girls a little confused. Didn't they say they were deceived? Why did props appear again?
It’s a bit troublesome to explain. Xu Xian plans to rush over immediately, otherwise if someone gets there first, she will really cry.

Seeing that the little girl was about to run away without saying a word, how could the girls just watch her leave?

It’s not clear at all. What if Xu Xian wants to confront the liar?
Even though this little girl has a relatively “sturdy” body among idols, when it comes to fighting power, she probably can’t even compare to Kim Taeyeon.

Besides, no matter what the reason is, as long as the artist comes forward and a conflict occurs, the artist himself will be the one who suffers in the end, and nothing will change.

Logically speaking, Xu Xian should understand this principle, but it seems that the little girl has been overwhelmed by it.

So the girls had no choice but to follow along, and for a while they were in chaos.

Some were putting on clothes, some were looking for shoes, some were going downstairs to get keys, and if Xu Xian hadn't stopped them, some would have planned to ask others to follow them.

After all, you are going to cause trouble for someone. If you don’t find some bodyguards with you, what will you do if you get hurt?
Xu Xian was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and tried to persuade the girls, but it seemed that the girls didn't want to listen at all.

So let them do what they want, but there's really no need to call for help. It's not a dark and windy night, and the location opposite is not remote.

In the broad daylight of an office building, are they still afraid that someone will dare to do something bad to them? Do you really think that the law has no deterrent effect?

After ten minutes of hurried preparations, the girls finally got in the car and set off.

Xu Xian thought that Li Menglong would follow, but the girls did not disturb her. Was this their special preparation?

"Tsk, this is an action between us sisters, why would we ask him to join us? Will he cause trouble if he follows us?"

The girls responded so confidently that even Xu Xian couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

But Xu Xian still felt that she should report it. This is the tacit understanding between artists and their agents.

Instead of calling Li Menglong directly, he sent a text message to the colleague he had met before, asking him to send the message to Li Menglong half an hour later.

Now there was no need to worry, and Xu Xian led the girls directly to the scammer's headquarters, even though the scammer had been on the run for who knows how long.

Taking advantage of the free time in the car, Xu Xian explained her previous discovery to the girls.

Because the scale of this cooperative company is not large, some complex and expensive props are not his at all, and the other party does not have the ability to take them on.

So specifically for this company, it is responsible for collecting some second-hand items from the past.

Simply put, they are props from a specific era, from calendars to Walkmans, from game consoles to kettles. In short, they are items that can be found at various stalls.

Strictly speaking, this company is more like a middleman, just saving Xu Xian the time of searching.

And Xu Xian had found traces of these things in photos before, which shouldn't have happened.

Although these things do not have much practical value, they are not antiques after all, and their actual use value is close to zero.

But you can take it home after all, even if it's just for revenge.

But she was kept here. Was this a trap for Xu Xian? Was it to lure her over?
Xu Xian made this guess as a joke, but the girls took it very seriously and even felt that it was possible.

Faced with these unusually cautious sisters, Xu Xian didn't know how to explain to them.

What's the purpose of tricking Xu Xian into coming over at the cost of closing down a company?

If they really want to do this, there is a more "economical" way to do it, just apply for cooperation directly to the company. Besides, when the contract was negotiated, Xu Xian also participated in person, so is the opportunity bad?

No matter how hard Xu Xian tried to persuade these women, she still couldn't win over them.

They began to make plans for the worst-case scenario in the car, and for a moment the atmosphere in the car was quite solemn, as if they were going to rob a bank.

Xu Xian insisted on listening for a while. She seemed to hear something, but it seemed that she didn't understand anything. In short, she was in a very confused state.

But just let them do what they want. The scammers are not there anyway, so who else can they target?

But Xu Xian soon discovered that things were not that simple and the girls' plans were very complicated.

From the moment she got off the car, these women were jumpy and unnerving to look at.

You have to know that they are all wearing hats and masks at this moment, which are essential items for their daily travel, otherwise it would be inappropriate to be watched by others.

But this outfit combined with their actions at the moment makes people a little nervous. It might be an exaggeration to say that they are robbers, but it is okay to say that they are thieves.

In other words, their figures could not be hidden and one could tell at a glance that they were girls, so the security guard downstairs was quite patient and did not choose to call the police immediately.

But it is still necessary to go up and question them. After all, there has been quite a bit of chaos upstairs these past few days.

The person who came out to confront them was Xu Xian, and she was also afraid that these women would say something alarmist.

The communication process was relatively smooth. While Xu Xian asked about the basic situation, she also expressed her desire to go upstairs to see it with her own eyes.

The request was quite normal, but the security guard looked at the people behind him awkwardly, wondering if they wanted to go up with him?
Fortunately, the girls had already made a division of labor. They had not originally planned to go up together, and they were going to stay to guard the exit and the car.

Once someone upstairs is kidnapped, they must escape from the danger zone as soon as possible and then call the police immediately.

This vigilant attitude is worth encouraging, but can the danger level be lowered a little? It is really not necessary.

There was no one to persuade her in the car, let alone in a public place, so Xu Xian could only get into the elevator surrounded by several people.

The girls in the elevator were not idle either. They held up their mobile phones and took various photos. According to them, they were doing so to preserve evidence.

Xu Xian has already lowered her head silently. I guess the security guard watching the surveillance video has already listed them as key observation targets.

Maybe they won't even have to call the police in a while, as the security guard won't be able to hold back anymore.

Fortunately, I arrived at the company's door smoothly, which was just an office area, and not even a floor was rented.

Just looking at the size of this office area, it is indeed unreliable in every way.

The girls looked at Xu Xian with suspicion, as if questioning how she made her choice. Didn’t she do a background check?

What can Xu Xian say? Is she being too cheap? Is she looking for the best value for money?
It is unlikely that the girls will understand her good intentions, so she said it was unintentional and let them misunderstand.

The office looked pretty much the same as in the previous photos. Several pieces of the floor had been lifted up. Could it be that they were trying to find the boss's hidden secret money?

If Li Menglong were the boss, this might really be possible, but for ordinary bosses, forget it, as they can't afford to lose face.

After Xu Xian came in, she focused on finding her target, while the girls looked around.

This dilapidated scene was indeed quite novel, and even made them a little scared. Is this the end of running a company?

It was quite popular for artists to set up their own companies or studios at a certain stage, and it is even considered an enviable practice until now.

After all, being able to open a studio on your own means that you have accumulated enough original capital, including connections, funds, and so on.

Young girls have had similar opportunities before, but their choices were relatively conservative.

Now it seems that this choice was quite wise. Running a company is indeed not something a good person should work for.

If the company cannot be ruthless in various management measures, bankruptcy seems to be the only way out.

This is also the fate of many artists who start their own companies. After all, they lack too much experience, and having money alone is definitely not enough.

But this is still not enough to scare people, as complete freedom is too attractive to artists.

While the girls were still reflecting on themselves, Xu Xian had already found her goal.

There was a pile of miscellaneous things in the corner, and she finally understood why no one took them.

Because there was a seal on it and a camera was placed opposite. Who did this? Isn't it so thoughtful?
But this good mood did not last long.

When Xu Xian wanted to take a closer look at the details, she herself entered the range of the camera, and the shrill alarm sound immediately exploded in the room.

The girls, who were already a little nervous, became flustered in an instant. Even though they had made preparations before, they didn't think they would actually need them.

Fortunately, they didn't hesitate for too long. They rushed over and forced Xu Xian's head down, then protected her and ran towards the exit together.

To be honest, Xu Xian is a little confused now. No matter it is the harsh voices or the rough actions of the girls, they make her feel like she is filming a movie.

And how could there be no lack of coincidences in a movie? For example, as soon as they arrived in front of the elevator, a security guard ran out.

The two sides were deadlocked at the door. The girls wanted to go down, but the security guard stopped them.

The girls' self-control was evident at this time; although they wanted to go down, they still tried to communicate as much as possible.

This attitude obviously eased the security guards' nervousness a lot, and they also gave reasons for their refusal.

Because too many people came to move things in the past few days, the police eventually came and cordoned off the scene. In theory, the things inside were all stolen goods and needed to be compensated to those who suffered losses.

In their eyes, the girls came here to "steal things", even though they might be righteous.

Barely understanding what the other party meant, Xu Xian had to come forward to explain, indicating that she was the victim and that many of the things in that pile should have belonged to her.

But it was hard for the security guards to believe such words. They said that because the camera automatically sounded the alarm, a nearby police officer would come over soon. Otherwise, should they go and tell the police?

Xu Xian knew that she had to call Li Menglong. They couldn't meet the police without any preparation, otherwise who knows what news would come out in the end.

She has to be responsible for herself and the group!
