Lin Hai Ting Tao
Chapter 654 Being Targeted (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Nion and Dalglish's struggle had nothing to do with the players. This was a high-level battle, a clash of the gods.
Chen Hero was completely unaware that Nion and Dalglish were already at odds with each other.
Having scored his first Premier League goal, he was in a good mood and felt relaxed.
He had been in Liverpool for over a month, as well-behaved as an obedient child. He spent all his time in the training副本 (fuben, instances).
His goal was to adapt to the new team as quickly as possible. The instances not only helped him improve his individual abilities but also allowed him to adapt to the team faster because he could train with his new teammates. The training content and tactical style were the same as Dalglish's requirements. Training here was the same as training on the training ground—this was a function Chen Hero had only recently discovered. He had never thought of using it to adapt to a new team before.
Now that he had scored his first Premier League goal for the team, he felt that he had adapted to the environment and made a good start. Next, he just needed to keep scoring.
Without a goal for the time being, it was inevitable that he would feel empty and lonely.

When Chen Hero had just joined Liverpool, the English tabloids told the prostitutes of England how much Chen Hero liked to go to red-light districts and nightclubs—Chen Hero's nightclubbing was no secret, and he never hid it from the media. He always went to such places openly because he believed that as long as he kept scoring on the field, no one could criticize him for his private affairs.
The English tabloids described Chen Hero's arrival as a major loss for the Italian red-light district and a huge opportunity for the English sex industry!
This assessment was too exaggerated, but it was normal considering it was coming from the English media—they were always so prone to exaggeration…
Liverpool didn't have a real red-light district, and neither did the rest of the UK, because prostitution was not legal in Britain. It was said that in 2005, Liverpool City Council overwhelmingly passed a proposal to create a red-light district in the city where prostitutes could legally solicit and the government could manage it. Only prostitutes and their clients would be allowed in this area.
However, the proposal was ultimately rejected by the British Home Office and died in the planning stages.
But the absence of legal red-light districts did not mean the absence of prostitutes.
The flesh trade was perhaps one of the oldest professions on earth, and it was still thriving…
But Chen Hero always stayed in high-end hotels, which ordinary prostitutes couldn't get into.
And high-end prostitutes were often models and minor celebrities whose agents arranged formal work for them during the day and moonlighted as pimps at night.
Chen Hero was famous, rich, not bad-looking, had a perfect body, and was naturally promiscuous, with a great reputation in the red-light district.
He was the perfect target.
So, as soon as Chen Hero arrived in Liverpool, he was targeted…
But because Chen Hero spent most of his time training at Melwood or in his hotel room, it was rare to see him out. Even if those people wanted to approach him, they couldn't.
This discovery disappointed them.
Were the rumors false? Was Chen Hero actually a good boy and a乖宝宝 (guai bao bao, obedient baby)?
No normal man could stay in a hotel room for a month without going anywhere…
The world was big, and people had different jobs. Some people focused on when Chen Hero would score his first league goal, and others focused on when Chen Hero would find a prostitute in Liverpool.
The tabloids' attention to Chen Hero had reached the point of obsession. They could even get information about who had been in Chen Hero's room.
In Naples, the Italian media had not been so meticulous in their surveillance of Chen Hero.
In England, he was under all-around, round-the-clock, three-dimensional surveillance… But Chen Hero was not yet aware of this.

As Chen Hero appeared in the hotel lobby, a man in a suit who had been sitting in a booth quickly followed him and called out, "Hey, Hero!"
Chen Hero stopped and turned to look at him.
"I'm a fan of yours, Hero. That goal you scored against Bolton was really beautiful!" The man reached out to shake Chen Hero's hand and introduced himself.
Chen Hero didn't know what this person was here for, but since he said he was a fan, he could only smile and shake his hand. He had seen this situation too many times since he became famous, and he had experience in dealing with these strangers.
"Ah, thank you."
After exchanging pleasantries, the man took out a card and handed it to Chen Hero: "This is my business card. If you need anything, you can call me…"
Chen Hero was confused.
Seeing Chen Hero's puzzled expression, the man had to explain further: "We're all men, we understand. If you need anything, you can call me. I have everything you want here! I guarantee you'll be satisfied! All models!"
Chen Hero suddenly understood—so this guy was a pimp. It was an open secret in Europe that many models did shows during the day and prostituted themselves at night. Chen Hero had heard about it, but he never thought it would happen to him.
The man saw that Chen Hero had accepted the business card and smiled. After praising Chen Hero's goal against Bolton again, he said goodbye and left.
Chen Hero watched the man's back and shook his head—what was all this about… Pimping out in the open!
He looked down at the business card in his hand again. Besides a phone number, there was a word that seemed to be a name: "f_there". F. Three? Was there someone named that?
Maybe it was an alias to hide his real identity? Only used at night…
Female models, he hadn't tried that before. Should he call and give it a try?
He also thought of what had happened at Melwood before—he had been surrounded by a group of fans in the parking lot asking for autographs. One blonde, blue-eyed, big-breasted female fan had even rushed up to him and ripped open the V-neck of her T-shirt, revealing a large expanse of white breasts, wanting Chen Hero to sign his name on her soft双峰 (shuang feng, peaks) …
But he had to admit, it felt pretty good…
After signing, Chen Hero found a piece of paper in his pocket with a string of numbers on it. It must have been a phone number left by that enthusiastic female fan. What would happen if he called this number? Predictably, the two of them would probably end up in bed.
There was a word in English called "groupie," which meant a woman who specifically looked for players, coaches, or even players' bodyguards to sleep with. The original meaning came from pop band fans, referring to girls who were willing to have sex with members of pop bands.
He didn't know if that woman was one of those people.
So he threw the note away directly.
He was a normal man and naturally needed to satisfy his physiological needs. When he didn't have a steady girlfriend, it was normal to find a prostitute or a one-night stand.
The problem was that he was a celebrity, and many people liked to pay attention to celebrities' privacy. He didn't want to upload a picture with a woman, and then the woman would sell the details of their night together to the media.
This was too common in the football world. Many women took pride in sleeping with celebrities because it was not only their honor but also their chance to become famous or make money. If they were small celebrities or models, they could become famous overnight by sleeping with a popular star. That was a real 一“炮”走红 (yi “pao” zou hong, one “bang” to fame). Media exposure would increase, they would be interviewed, appear on TV talk shows, talk about what kind of person that star player was in bed, and after their popularity increased, their status would naturally rise. They would no longer be third-rate or second-rate small celebrities or models. Maybe they could even become the world's top model or celebrity by sleeping with the best player in the world.
If they were ordinary prostitutes, they would have the opportunity to make a fortune—they would charge for media interviews, publish autobiographies, two-thirds of which would probably be descriptions of their passionate night with this celebrity, with very explicit descriptions of the star's favorite positions and how strong his sexual ability was… Then, through media hype, the autobiography might sell well. In addition, some talented prostitutes might be able to take another path. The heroine of the "underage prostitute gate" incident involving Ribery and Benzema was said to have put on a fashion show, personally showcasing the sexy lingerie she designed…
Running into such a situation was really disgusting… Thinking that the size of your thing would be known to the whole world, it felt really bad.
Chen Hero had encountered a similar situation in Naples. That was the first time he had been used by a woman, and he had never tried such a one-night stand since then.
Thinking of one-night stands, Chen Hero thought of Ivanka ***, who had already moved away from him. That beautiful, princess-like woman had left him with a very beautiful impression and memory. Unfortunately, he never saw her again. It really was just a one-night stand. He and she had a relationship beyond ordinary friends that night, and then they never saw each other again.
He also thought of another woman who had left him with very beautiful memories—Christine Cabella.
He lived with her every day, but nothing like that ever happened. It was unbelievable that this happened to Chen Hero.
He wondered if he would ever have the chance to see her again.
He shook his head, ended his memories, took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on. He walked out of the hotel door.
