Great, it's a scalper, we're saved!

However, no matter how unwilling she was, Zheng Fan's figure gradually drew closer.

"Follow behind me."

Arriving beside Liu Yiyi, Zheng Fan glanced around and whispered.

Liu Yiyi came to her senses and immediately shook her head vigorously.

She had considered countless possibilities, but she never imagined that Zheng Fan's so-called cooperative relationship meant he had become a repairman?!

"Where...where did you get these clothes?"

"There's a small room belonging to the property management staff in the fire escape next door."

"You...you went to steal clothes?"

"What do you mean by stealing? I'll return it later."

"I...I'm not going!"

"Do you still want to watch the movie?"

"I……"

"Do you still want to see Lu Kai?!"

Liu Yiyi looked hesitantly at the movie theater not far away. The poster for "Bureau 249" was in the most conspicuous position, and even more conspicuous was Lu Kai's resolute gaze on the poster.

Are we just going to miss the premiere like this?

I am indeed a little reluctant to part with it.

As things stand at the moment...

Following this scalper seems to be the only option.

Moreover... if I refuse Zheng Fan, it seems I'll end up losing both my money and my relationship with him.

You can get the 200 yuan you transferred to Zheng Fan back, but the 500 yuan you were scammed out of by the previous scalper is gone for good!

Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and finally nodded.

"What should I do?"

Liu Yiyi asked tentatively in a low voice.

Although she had already guessed that Zheng Fan's disguise was definitely not for good purposes, Liu Yiyi was still a little unsure of exactly what he was going to do.

"Don't say anything, just follow me."

Zheng Fan smiled slightly, and then walked towards the theater.

Zheng Fan's outfit was quite eye-catching, but after seeing the retractable ladder, the audience waiting to enter made way for him.

A moment later, the two arrived at the ticket gate.

"What are you doing?"

Upon seeing Zheng Fan's arrival, a staff member looked up and asked.

"Your manager sent me here, saying the light is broken."

Zheng Fan remained expressionless, pointed to the ladder beside him, and spoke calmly.

"Repairing lights? What's this little girl doing then?"

The staff member frowned slightly and looked at Liu Yiyi, who was following closely behind Zheng Fan.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi immediately straightened up, her muscles tensed, and she lowered her head, her face flushed.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi admitted that she regretted it.

What the hell?!

So he's just going to pretend to be a repairman and sneak into the movie theater?!

Although she didn't look up, Liu Yiyi could already feel the intense gazes around her scrutinizing her.

How embarrassing! This is so incredibly embarrassing!

Being exposed in front of so many people is so embarrassing that you'd want to crawl into a hole and disappear!

Having lived for more than a decade, Liu Yiyi felt that this was the most painful time of her life, without exception.

Is adult life really this cruel? I'm still young, I can't handle it.

Thinking about the scene she was about to face, Liu Yiyi was so nervous that her breathing became rapid. She gripped Zheng Fan's clothes tightly with one hand, not daring to breathe loudly.

"My apprentice, working a summer job."

Zheng Fan's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of impatience in his tone. He glanced at the staff member and said indifferently.

"oh oh."

The staff member nodded and didn't ask any further questions, letting the two of them go inside.

"??????"

"Can anyone tell me what I saw?"

"No, they just carried a ladder in???"

"Huh? Is it that easy to get into a movie theater?"

"No, I thought the streamer was cosplaying. This costume actually works??"

"What kind of brain could come up with this idea? Pretending to be a repairman and going to a movie theater?"

"That seems to make sense... It feels like you can get anywhere by carrying a ladder."

"I'll stop here, guys. I've got it now, I know how to rob a bank."

"I've bought the ladder, but does anyone know where the prison gate is?"

"Dude, are you sure this is something a scalper would do?"

"Hahahaha! This girl's expression is priceless!"

"This must be the most humiliating moment of her life, hahahahaha!"

"I've figured it out, this dog streamer definitely doesn't make money from scalpers, he's just here for fun!"

"That streamer is a psychopath; he just loves to confuse girls."

"Great, I love this kind of Sigma man, I enjoy watching him!"

"Wow, that's incredible composure! How did they manage to fool everyone like that?!"

"If I hadn't been watching from the beginning, I would have thought the streamer was really a repairman!"

"..."

As Zheng Fan and Liu Yiyi entered the theater, countless question marks flooded the live stream chat.

No one expected that Zheng Fan's so-called movie-going would actually involve carrying a ladder inside.

Moreover, what surprised many viewers even more was...

Although it was just a brief exchange, Zheng Fan's composure in the face of danger far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Consequently, a huge question arose in the minds of many viewers.

Is this... definitely a scalper?

……

Unlike the noise outside the cinema, it was noticeably quieter inside.

Zheng Fan walked at a leisurely pace until he turned a corner at the end of the corridor before stopping.

"Alright, we're here. The row of theaters on the left ahead are all showing 'Bureau 249'."

Zheng Fan spoke calmly.

"Is this what you meant by having a partnership with cinemas?"

Liu Yiyi's expression was somewhat stiff as she spoke with difficulty.

In fact, from the moment she was questioned by the staff, Liu Yiyi's brain was already on the verge of shutting down.

She was prepared to be exposed, after all, the staff had already noticed her.

But to her surprise, Zheng Fan dispelled the staff's suspicions with just one sentence.

And then... they just swaggered in like that?!

They just walked in like that?!

Is it really that simple?!

Although she was already inside the movie theater, Liu Yiyi still felt like she was dreaming.

However, upon seeing Zheng Fan, Liu Yiyi instantly snapped out of her daze.

I think I've been... fooled?!

"If I didn't say that, would you be willing to come with me?" Zheng Fan shrugged, his expression quite nonchalant.

"I!……"

"I'm just asking if you've come in or not."

"Although……"

"Are you allowed to go to the movies now?"

"But……"

"Do you still want to see Lu Kai?"

"..."

Liu Yiyi was speechless, feeling that something was wrong, but also feeling that what the scalper in front of her said made a lot of sense? She couldn't refute it?

200 yuan, you can go directly to the cinema and watch a movie... It seems like a pretty good deal?

"What are you two doing? What are you chattering about?"

Just as Liu Yiyi was deep in thought, suddenly, a door on one side of the corridor opened, and a middle-aged man walked out with an unfriendly expression.

Liu Yiyi looked over instinctively, and her vision went black instantly.

The nameplate on the man's chest clearly displayed two large characters.

--manager.
