After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

The next day at 8:00 AM.

Tencent Video officially opened the revival voting channel for "The Voice of Heaven" on time.

After a night of public discussion, netizens across the internet were already itching to get going.

As soon as the channel opened, Jiang Yichen's name appeared at the top of the resurrection list.

The number of votes skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

100,000!

Five hundred thousand!

One million!

In just half a day, Jiang Yichen's votes reached an astonishing one million.

Leading the way.

They left the second-place car far behind, so far that you couldn't even see its taillights.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yichen was in the recording studio of Xingchen Entertainment.

Because last night, I was dragged into playing ranked games by that internet-addicted girl, Gu Ruanxing, and stayed up until 3 a.m.

He slept through the entire morning.

They didn't arrive at the recording studio until the afternoon to begin recording the official version of "Puppet Show".

The recording process went very smoothly.

It was nine o'clock at night.

Jiang Yichen took off his monitoring headphones, pushed open the heavy soundproof door, and walked out.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

He nodded to the staff outside.

After carefully storing the recorded master tape, Jiang Yichen slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out of the Star Entertainment building.

The night breeze was slightly cool.

The night in Shanghai remains vibrant, with neon lights flashing.

Jiang Yichen checked his phone; the ride-hailing car wouldn't arrive for another ten minutes.

He decided to take a shortcut and entered a secluded alley, intending to wait for a bus at the main intersection ahead.

The streetlights in the alley were dim.

Only a few stray cats were rummaging through the trash can for food, making a few small noises.

Jiang Yichen walked slowly with his hands in his pockets.

Just as he was about to reach the exit of the alley.

Several figures suddenly appeared in front of us.

Four burly men lined up in a row, completely blocking the road.

Jiang Yichen stopped in his tracks.

He sized up the group of people under the dim streetlights.

In the middle of the night, these four people were all wearing black vests, revealing two large tattooed arms.

The most outrageous thing is that everyone was wearing a pair of large black sunglasses.

What kind of unconventional style is this?

Can you even see the road clearly wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night?

To say I'm scared wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Traditional Chinese opera emphasizes "singing, recitation, acting, and fighting." The original owner of this body had practiced martial arts since childhood, possessing solid physical strength and having mastered some real skills.

Taking down these four burly men in front of me is probably a long shot, but finding a chance to escape shouldn't be too difficult.

The burly man with the tattooed arms who was leading the group took a step forward and cleared his throat.

He pulled a folding knife from his pocket and brandished it.

"This mountain is mine!"

"I planted this tree!"

"If you want to pass, leave some money behind!"

Jiang Yichen was stunned.

Goodness, are robbery lines this retro these days?

.......

In an abandoned storefront less than fifty meters from Jiang Yichen.

Xu Zhiyou poked half her head out, nervously watching the movements in the alley.

Today she was wearing an extremely form-fitting black bodysuit that accentuated her shapely figure.

Her hair was tied into a high ponytail.

Su Yu stood behind her, looking ahead expressionlessly.

"Sister Yu, are these people you found reliable?"

"Why are they reciting their lines so awkwardly!" Xu Zhiyou said in a low voice.

Su Yu crossed her arms and spoke with certainty.

"Don't worry, Miss."

"These four are the ones I picked from the security company; they're pretty clever."

"As for the lines, I wrote them specifically for them."

"That's what the robbers on TV always say. It's classic and very intimidating."

Xu Zhiyou covered her face; she simply couldn't bear to look.

Where is the deterrent effect?

In the past few days, Xu Zhiyou has been vehemently opposed to Su Yu's proposed plan to drug and kidnap her.

Su Yu, as a second-best option, proposed this ultimate "hero saves the beauty" plan.

That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas.

"If the male protagonist saves the female protagonist, the female protagonist will repay him with her body."

"The reverse is also true."

"If you go and save him, he will surely be moved to tears and fall in love with you."

Su Yu made that solemn promise at the time.

Xu Zhiyou actually believed it.

For this plan, she hasn't even gone shopping these past few days.

He stayed at home every day, training in martial arts moves under the special guidance of Su Yu.

Although they were all just fancy moves, they were good at making the moves look impressive.

"Miss, it's ready," Su Yu reminded her.

In the alley.

Jiang Yichen looked at the four dedicated men in sunglasses in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Hey guys, stop messing around in the middle of the night. I just got off work and I'm pretty tired."

"My pockets are emptier than my face. Why don't you go somewhere else? Robbing a bank at the intersection up ahead would be a faster way to make money, wouldn't it?"

As Jiang Yichen spoke, he began to walk around them.

The burly man with the tattooed arms who was leading the group immediately reached out and stopped him.

"stop!"

"We're professional robbers!"

"Hand over the money, or we'll bleed you dry!"

Following Su Yu's script, the burly man tried his best to make a fierce expression.

But because he was wearing sunglasses, you couldn't see his eyes at all.

Just then—

"stop!"

A clear, slightly trembling voice suddenly rang out in the alley.

Jiang Yichen paused.

The four burly men with tattooed arms stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in unison.

All that could be seen was the shadow of the alley.

A petite figure dressed in a black bodysuit rushed out.

Following the steps she had practiced countless times over the past few days, Xu Zhiyou quickly ran to Jiang Yichen.

She bent her knees slightly, assuming a perfectly standard starting stance.

Hold your right fist at your waist, and push your left hand forward in a palm position.

The ponytail drew a clean arc in the air.

"In broad daylight... no, in broad daylight!"

"How dare you commit violence in the street!"

"With me, Xu Zhiyou, around, don't even think about touching a hair on his head!"

Xu Zhiyou raised her delicate chin and glared at the four burly men with righteous indignation.

Jiang Yichen stood behind her.

Looking at the girl in black who suddenly appeared.

Then look at her extremely standard martial arts starting stance.

Jiang Yichen's eye twitched twice.

Why is this girl here playing role-playing instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?

The burly man with tattooed arms who was leading the group looked at Xu Zhiyou, who was blocking their way.

He swallowed.

This is a young lady from a wealthy family!

Supervisor Su had instructed that when the fight broke out, they must appear to be intimidated by the young lady's martial arts skills.

Then, naturally, he was defeated by the young lady.

The young lady must not be harmed in the slightest.

This play... is so difficult to act!

The burly man steeled himself and raised the small knife in his hand: "Little brat, mind your own business! Brothers, get him!"

Four burly men roared and charged forward, waving their fists.

Xu Zhiyou took a deep breath.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

She closed her eyes, replaying the combo moves Su Yu had taught her in her mind.

Left hook, right kick, and over-the-shoulder throw!

Xu Zhiyou suddenly opened her eyes and kicked the tattooed, muscular man at the front of the line.

That kick was weak and powerless.

But the burly man cooperated perfectly. The moment Xu Zhiyou's shoe tip touched his stomach, he suddenly widened his eyes and let out an extremely exaggerated scream.

"oops--!"

"Wow...such powerful internal energy!"

Before he could finish speaking, he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling around in pain, clutching his stomach.

Jiang Yichen: "?"

The remaining three strong men immediately understood and did the same.

Xu Zhiyou casually threw a punch.

The second burly man clutched his face and collapsed to the ground, crying out, "My face! My handsome face!"

Xu Zhiyou swept out another roundhouse kick.

The third burly man clutched his leg and screamed in agony, "Ah! My leg! My leg is broken!"

Less than ten seconds.

Four burly men, with tattooed arms and the appearance of being able to kill a bull, were all lying on the ground groaning and crawling around.

Some clutched their stomachs, others hugged their legs; each actor was more immersed in their performance than the last.

Jiang Yichen stood behind, completely dumbfounded.

Good heavens, what's going on here?
