Join the ServerChi Xue was a journalist.
Yes, a journalist.
Although others preferred calling him a paparazzo, Chi Xue insisted he was a journalist. He specialized in exposing celebrities’ little secrets, raking in massive amounts of money.
While he might differ from other journalists, he earned far more. Especially those big-name stars whose privacy he captured—they always ended up bowing to him. And some actresses even slept with him for free.
‘The taste of that… tsk tsk.’
When Chi Xue heard that No.1 High School was hosting its annual School Beauty Contest, he paid it no mind. After all, it was just a minor competition. Not his caliber.
He’d rather go photograph a divorced A-list actress and squeeze a fortune out of her.
However, after the contest gained traction, a student named Bai Mengze became popular, trending on Weibo for several topics and topping the charts for two days straight. Such immense popularity eventually made Chi Xue curious enough to check his phone.
When he saw Bai Mengze’s looks, he was shocked.
‘A girl this beautiful would definitely enter the entertainment industry!’
No way!
He had to seize this opportunity. He must dig up her secrets and get firsthand footage.
‘The so-called pure star everyone adored might actually be a slut, sneaking off to hotel rooms with multiple men late at night. Or the idol who claimed to have no dating experience might be entangled with numerous women privately.’
Chi Xue had seen plenty of such pretenders. He knew everyone had a hidden side.
This was his moment to step in! Snooping into others’ secrets—he was a pro at it.
So Chi Xue made a special trip to No.1 High School in U City, staking out the entrance, waiting for Bai Mengze to come out.
As it turned out, things went pretty much as he’d guessed. Bai Mengze had hidden her face to avoid being recognized. Although her disguise was decent, it couldn’t fool his sharp eyes.
Moreover, Bai Mengze had a man with her, their manner very intimate. This made Chi Xue even more excited!
What was Bai Mengze, the winner of the School Beauty Contest, really like in private? Would it also shock the public?
If so, that would be perfect! He could reap even greater benefits—and maybe even bed this gorgeous student.
With that thought in mind, Chi Xue tailed Bai Mengze the whole way, hoping to snap some exclusive shots.
But aside from the boy accompanying her who kept looking around nervously, there was nothing unusual. They were just like ordinary high schoolers.
That couldn’t be right!
A girl as beautiful as Bai Mengze must have had far more experiences than others. How could her life be so mundane?
No way!
Even if there were no news, he would create some.
Thinking this, once they entered the supermarket, Chi Xue immediately sprang into action, ready to fabricate a scandal.
He originally planned to plant something on Bai Mengze, but her guard was too high—he couldn’t find an opening.
Luckily, Bai Mengze had a foolish teammate. Clueless and completely unguarded, like a newborn chick.
So he succeeded on the first try.
Of course, it was also thanks to his superb disguise. His ability to obtain scoop after scoop relied on his disguises, allowing him to steal privacy before anyone realized.
This time was no different.
After all, who would suspect an ‘old man’ like him?
He touched the red hat on his head, feeling smug. He always wore something red, hoping for a lucky start.
Chuckling to himself, Chi Xue activated the hidden camera strapped to his chest, ready to film the upcoming drama.
Even if he couldn’t capture Bai Mengze, he could still film her boyfriend. The headline would be even more explosive!
As he gleefully imagined the payday, he noticed that the falsely accused boy remained remarkably calm. That made him frown. He had wanted to film the guy flying into a rage and throwing punches. Scenes like that really riled up the audience.
But when he saw the boy stride to the counter, Chi Xue got excited again!
This was it! Shoot!
However, as the boy laid out items one by one and spoke, mentioning the chairman of Feiniao Mall at the end, Chi Xue realized he had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
‘The chairman of Feiniao Mall is surnamed Ji. Could this boy be from the Ji family?!’
Damn it! He couldn’t afford to mess with the Ji family!
At that thought, Chi Xue abandoned the shoot and hurried toward the exit, desperate to escape the supermarket.
But no matter how much he thought, he never expected to be caught.
And Bai Mengze kicked him to the ground in front of everyone. When he tried to get up and run, he twisted his back.
He could only lie there, playing dead, hoping to get off lightly.
But when Ji Wenyan reached down and took his red hat, Chi Xue knew it was all over.
He was exposed.
As the police siren approached, despair filled his heart.
