How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 244: Lucky
Zhang Wen followed Chen Xueqi's assistant out of the subway station and stopped only when he saw the other party enter a coffee shop.

He looked up at the coffee shop sign. According to his previous guess, the other party should go back to the company to find Chen Xueqiu, or go to Chen Xueqiu's home. Why did he come to the coffee shop?

Does Chen Xueqiu want to drink coffee?

He was worried about being discovered by Chen Xueqi's assistant, so he didn't go in immediately, but stood outside waiting.

The coffee shop is doing good business, with people constantly coming in and out.

Zhang Wen waited for 7 or 8 minutes, and made sure that Chen Xueqi's assistant was not here to order takeout, then he pushed the door and walked in.

"Hello sir, how many people are there?" the waiter asked.

Zhang Wen quickly glanced around the hall and didn't see Chen Xueqiu's assistant, so he said, "Four of us, is there a private room?"

"Yes," said the waiter.

"Can I take a look at the environment of the private room first?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Yes, sir, please follow me." The waiter said with a smile, and then led the way.

Zhang Wen followed behind, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the sounds around him, trying to see if he could find Chen Xueqiu's assistant through his powerful hearing.

On the second floor, the waiter opened the door of a private room.
"Sir, what do you think of this room? It has a window so you can see the street view outside, and the soundproofing is also very good."

Zhang Wen walked in and pretended to look around. The sound insulation was really good. Except for the private room next door, nothing could be heard in the private rooms farther away.

"It's okay. Is there anything better?" Zhang Wen asked indifferently.

"Yes, this way, sir."

"..."

Zhang Wen deliberately slowed down his pace and listened to the movements in the private rooms on both sides of the corridor, but the result was disappointing. He heard some "hmm", but did not hear the voice of Chen Xueqi's assistant.

Since my strength doesn't allow it, I can only rely on luck.

He took out a lucky charm from the Wenqu Tower and stuck it on himself.

The lucky charm flashed a golden light, then merged into his body and disappeared.

This was his first time using a lucky charm, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

A bad luck charm can cause a person to lose two teeth, so could a lucky charm cause a person to grow two new teeth? If it were ivory, that would be amazing.

The waiter stopped and pushed open the door of the private room, "Sir, look..."

"Let's take this one." Zhang Wen interrupted the waiter directly because he heard the voice of Chen Xueqi's assistant who was next door.

It’s indeed a lucky charm!

"One iced latte first, and then order when other people arrive." Zhang Wen said to the waiter.

"Okay, sir." The waiter smiled and left the private room.

Zhang Wen walked to the wall near the private room where Chen Xueqi's assistant was and sat down, listening quietly to the sounds coming from next door.

The assistant was talking about his experience at the security room of the shopping mall just now. However, due to his exaggeration, the security guard was directly blamed for being arrogant and insolent, and he also portrayed himself as an innocent person who was compromising and pitiful.

Zhang Wen cursed in a low voice, "Shameless!", and a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

Who is this assistant talking to?
You can't be talking to yourself, right?
Could it be that Chen Xueqi is also next door?
Just when he was wondering, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Xiao Yang, did the security guard there really say that?"

Zhang Wen narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint arc...

Yes, this voice belongs to Chen Xueqiu.

Zhang Wen didn't expect Chen Xueqi to be in this coffee shop. He thought he was at the company or at home, and he was even prepared to wait for a few hours on the way here.

Now there is no need for that. As long as the other party walks out of the private room, he can make him taste the bad luck talisman again.

"Brother Qiu, I've been with you for so many years, when have I ever lied to you?"

The assistant's voice came from next door again, sincere but pitiful.

"Damn it, a stinky security guard dares to be so arrogant. He's just a watchdog. Brother Wu, you are a reporter. Do an undercover investigation and skin these people." Chen Xueqi said cursingly.

Zhang Wen held his breath after hearing this.

reporter?
Is Chen Xueqiu with the reporters now?

That’s right. This guy named Chen makes traffic by staging fraud. If there is no cooperation from reporters, where will the news on the Internet come from?
"Xueqiu, don't get excited. He's just a security guard. Why are you angry with him? If he doesn't want to show it to you, then don't show it. It's no big deal." At this time, another voice sounded, obviously the reporter Wu mentioned by Chen Xueqiu.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Why did this voice sound so familiar?
Wait, isn't that the voice of the guy he lifted up with one hand yesterday? He even followed him to the parking lot.

Could this person be a reporter?
At that time, he thought it was Chen Xueqiu's assistant.

It seems that the news on the Internet should have been written by this reporter.

"What if that video gets exposed?" Chen Xueqi asked worriedly. He remembered that the bodyguard said a lot of sarcastic words at the time, but he couldn't remember what they said specifically.

"Don't worry, the video can't prove that the bodyguard and Bai Lu are innocent. Besides, we are the victims. My waist still hurts now."

"Brother Wu, what should we do next?" Chen Xueqi continued to ask.

"He will stick to the original plan and continue to play the affectionate character who has been hurt by love and betrayed. Female netizens nowadays like this type of person," the reporter said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go to the hospital again tomorrow." Chen Xueqi said.

"Well, it's best to buy a wheelchair and have an assistant push you into the hospital. That will be much better. Oh, and don't sleep tonight. Make yourself look a little older and weaker."

"No problem. From now on, I won't eat or drink. I'll just put a few drops of eye drops in my eyes when I get off the bus..."

"Eye drops won't work. Listen to me. Put half an onion in your pocket. When you feel like crying, grab it with your hand and wipe your eyes. Your eyes will immediately become red and tearful. It's much more effective than eye drops."

"Brother Wu, your idea is the best. Eh? Your phone is an old model, right? I'll give you the latest model later, the one with a folding screen."

"Haha, thanks."

Zhang Wen listened to the conversation coming from next door and wanted to rush in immediately and beat up the people inside to vent his anger.

However, he also knew that fists could not solve everything, not to mention that we now live in a society ruled by law. If he really did that, Chen Xueqi would call the police, which would cause more trouble for Bai Lu and Gao Yue.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a knock on the door outside the private room, and then the door opened and the waiter came in with coffee.

"Your iced latte, sir."

"Thank you."

After Zhang Wen waited for the waiter to leave, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The cool feeling spread throughout his body and he immediately calmed down.

"..."

"Brother Wu, it's getting late. I need to go back to the company. Let's meet again another day."

"Okay, walk slowly."

"Oh!"

There was the sound of a door opening next door, followed by a flurry of messy footsteps.

Zhang Wen stood up immediately. When he heard the footsteps gradually fading away, he pushed the door open, walked out of the private room, and hurried downstairs.

"Sir, is there anything else I can help you with?" the waiter asked.

Zhang Wen looked at Chen Xueqiu as he walked out of the cafe and said, "I'm sorry, my friends have something urgent to do and can't come. Please pay the bill."

"Oh," the waiter replied without giving it much thought. After all, there were many customers like this. Zhang Wen paid and left the cafe. Seeing Chen Xueqiu about to get in the car, he immediately took out two bad luck charms and threw them at him.

Although the distance was eight or nine meters, who could blame him for his great strength?

The two bad luck talismans instantly turned into two red lights, shooting straight towards Chen Xueqi who raised his foot, and finally merged into the other's body.

Chen Xueqiu stepped on the pedals and got into the white business car. One assistant was driving and another was sitting in the passenger seat. The car slowly drove away from the cafe.

"??"

Zhang Wen looked at the business car driving away and stood there for a while, with two question marks popping up in his mind.

gone?

But, what about the teeth?
For two bad luck charms, at least four teeth should be left.

Just when he was about to take another bad luck charm to see if there was an expiration date on it, a loud crash suddenly came from the distance.

"Oh!"

Zhang Wen immediately looked up and saw that the business car Chen Xueqi was riding in had crashed into a bus. He could hear people talking from a distance.

"Is the driver of this white car crazy? Driving so fast and running a red light?"

"This is really a lack of morality. I don't even know if anyone was injured on the bus."

"..."

The door of the business car opened at this time, and a man walked out with his head covered. It was Chen Xueqi.

The other party lowered his head and wanted to leave under the cover of his assistant, but he was recognized after taking only a few steps.

"Huh? The person who got out of the white car seems to be Chen Xueqiu, Bai Lu's rumored boyfriend."

"Yes, that's him, but celebrities' cars can't run red lights. It's too dangerous."

"He seems to be trying to run, stop him quickly."

"..."

Some people stepped forward to block Chen Xueqiu's way, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Chen Xueqiu.

"You want to run after you hit the car?"

"I wasn't driving the car, it was my assistant. He will stay and deal with it." Chen Xueqi hurriedly explained, cursing his assistant's ancestors in his heart.

The assistant driving the car also stood up and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. I'm driving the car. I won't leave."

After hearing this, everyone pointed the finger at the driver again, and Chen Xueqi quickly took the opportunity to leave.

Zhang Wen frowned. Is this the end?
Two bad luck talismans seemed to have less effect than one, not even a tooth fell out, and the most important thing was that it affected other people.

If I had known this, I would have thrown a bad luck charm.

Just as he was about to catch up and cast another bad luck charm, he saw Chen Xueqiu's right foot step on the loose shoelaces of his left foot. His body rushed forward and fell flat on his face. When he looked up, his mouth was covered in blood...

Familiar scenes, familiar postures.

Zhang Wen stopped immediately and felt relieved.

It turns out that bad luck is just late, not absent.

Many passers-by took pictures of this scene, and it is foreseeable that it will be on the entertainment news soon.

Zhang Wen watched the excitement while waiting for the reporters in the cafe.

Not long after, the door of the cafe was pushed open from the inside, and a man wearing a baseball cap walked out.

After seeing the familiar face of the other person, Zhang Wen threw a bad luck talisman over, determined not to let any of Chen Xueqi's accomplices go.

Wu Qing turned his head and looked at both sides of the street, then walked towards the subway entrance. The brim of his hat was pulled down very low but could not cover the upturned corners of his mouth. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

Just by moving your fingers, you can get a service fee of 100,000 yuan plus a latest model of mobile phone. I really hope there are more customers like Chen Xueqi.

"I'm so happy today..."

Wu Qing hummed a little tune, and even his steps became much lighter.

Just as he was about to rap, he felt something fall on his hat with a "pop". He reached out to touch it reflexively, and when he saw the object in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

It's bird poop!
He raised his head and looked towards the sky, searching for the culprit.

A few birds flew across the sky, and a black dot fell from the sky. When Wu Qing wanted to dodge, it was too late. A pile of bird droppings fell and hit his mouth by chance.

The passersby around were surprised at first, and then retreated, trying to avoid him. However, when they looked at Wu Qing, their eyes were full of smiles, as if they were looking at a clown.

"Bah bah bah!"

Wu Qing vomited frantically, his face had swelled up to the color of liver, probably because he tasted the bird droppings. Finally, he held onto the trash can on the side of the road and kept dry heaving.

It took several minutes before the discomfort in my body was relieved. Of course, it was more like I got used to the disgusting smell of bird droppings than relieved.

Wu Qing reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of tissues, and wiped his mouth vigorously until he had used up the entire pack. Then he straightened up and quickly left.

Zhang Wen watched the reporter's back as he left, and finally his gaze fell on the side of the trash can, where a mobile phone was lying quietly. It was dropped by the reporter when he was taking out a tissue. He wondered if it was part of his bad luck.

He walked over and picked up the phone on the ground, and in order to avoid worrying the owner, he sprinted after him.

The spirit of helping others has been completely integrated into his bones.

Damn!

I twisted my waist.

Zhang Wen stopped when he ran to the intersection and looked at the reporters across the street. He had twisted his waist. It wouldn't be too much to sit on a bench in the nearby park and rest for a while before chasing them again, right?

He walked into the nearby park, sat on a bench beside the flowerbed, and held the phone up to his face, trying to see if there was any identifying information related to the owner that would help him find the owner...

Is this reasonable?
He pressed the button on the side, and the phone screen lit up, showing that a gesture was required to unlock it.

Test!
Where has the trust between people gone?

Zhang Wen wanted to throw the phone back next to the trash can, but then he thought, in order to find the owner, it would be reasonable to go to a mobile phone repair shop to unlock the phone, right?

Yes, just do it.

Don't stop doing good things just because difficulties arise.

He stood up and walked along the park to see if he could find a mobile phone repair shop. At the same time, his hands were not idle, swiping randomly on the unlock screen of the phone screen...

Swish!
As soon as the first pattern was swiped, the phone screen suddenly changed and entered the main page.

Solved?
Zhang Wen looked at the phone in surprise. Although he was the one who unlocked it, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Is it really solved?
This is such good luck, isn't it?

Is the lucky charm's BUFF still there?

Sure enough, good people are rewarded.

Thinking of this, he sat down beside the flower bed and looked through the phone he had picked up.

An entertainment reporter’s cell phone, I guess there are a lot of good things in it.
