A staff member, understanding the reason behind the difficult question, tracked Yun Duo'er's work schedule for a month and then found her.
"Hello, superstar! It's so rare to see you!"
Yun Duo'er had just finished her work and returned to her dressing room when she was surprised by someone, heavily disguised, who had been hiding behind the door and then shut the door.
Startled by the sudden appearance, Yun Duo'er asked hurriedly:
"Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"
"Heh, you must have a short memory!"
The person took off their hat, revealing a face with a somewhat fierce expression:
"I'm a staff member from the 'The Strongest Brain' program."
Yun Duo'er calmed herself upon hearing this. She replied:
"What are you here for? The recording for 'The Strongest Brain' ended long ago!"
"As a celebrity, don't you even look at what's online? 'The Strongest Brain's' previous mistreatment of the child prodigy, Tongtong, has already been exposed."
At this point, the man's expression became contorted:
"I know you celebrities have a lot of dirty laundry. I don't really care about your relationship with this child. But this time, because of you, I not only lost my job but was also verbally abused by many people online, including my family! It's not just me who's affected; my family has also suffered significantly because of this. What do you expect me to do?"
After hearing what he said:
"You take someone's money, you solve their problems! I don't believe you did this without getting paid."
"Indeed, I took your money, but it wasn't much! Compared to my current situation, it was like giving scraps to a beggar! Now, I'll return the money to you. I hope you can clarify this matter online yourself."
Yun Duo'er scoffed upon hearing this:
"What good would it do to say it now? It can't change anything."
With that, she turned around, sat in front of the vanity, picked up a makeup brush, and lightly swept her cheekbones.
Seeing that Yun Duo'er wouldn't confess, the man continued to threaten:
"If you don't speak up about this, I'll expose you online."
Yun Duo'er felt a pang of nervousness at his words, but she tried to sound calm as she said:
"Don't you just want money? I'll give you my manager's contact information. Contact my manager, and I'll have her handle this matter with you."
The man, seeing Yun Duo'er's slightly nervous expression in the mirror, angrily continued:
"Is money the only issue now? I can't even find a job! My career has been ruined because of your affairs. Are the impacts I've suffered just empty words?"
He took a step forward, intending to grab Yun Duo'er's shoulder. Yun Duo'er immediately stood up and shouted at him:
"Don't come near me! I'll sue you for assault!"
The man didn't stop. He continued forward and said:
"Hmph, scream all you want. No one will come anyway, I've already checked."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Yun Duo'er let out a scream.
The man covered his ears, stung by her cry, and stumbled back a few steps. He then crossed his arms and stared at Yun Duo'er.
Yun Duo'er screamed a couple of times and found that no one was coming.
"Don't come any closer. Even if you succeed now, I can still call the police afterward! It won't just be your career that's ruined! Your life might be ruined by your own actions!"
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"Sister Duo'er, are you in there?"
Outside, Yun Duo'er's assistant's voice could be heard.
Yun Duo'er's face immediately lit up with joy:
"Yuan Yuan! I'm here..."
The man immediately covered Yun Duo'er's mouth and backed himself against the door.
"You better behave. I just wanted to give you a warning today. If I can't get out of here, in two hours, I'll have the story about the child prodigy Tongtong leaked! You need to find a solution for my situation as soon as possible, within three days!"
He whispered the threat into Yun Duo'er's ear.
Yun Duo'er nodded hastily in agreement.
Only then did the man relax his posture.
Yun Duo'er quickly tidied her clothes and sat back down at the vanity.
Seeing Yun Duo'er seated, the man opened the door and bowed:
"Sister Duo'er, I'll definitely do as you said. I'll be leaving now!"
Yun Duo'er, a seasoned actress, had already regained her composure:
"Mm, hurry along!"
After the man left, Yun Duo'er's assistant asked, confused:
"Sister Duo'er, who was that?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Yun Duo'er said angrily to her assistant.
"I'm sorry, Sister Duo'er!"
Scolded, the assistant lowered her head in response, inwardly grumbling:
The previous gossip wasn't enough, and now there was a man in her dressing room having a private moment with her! And the door was locked. She really didn't know what they were doing in there.
She continued aloud:
"Sister Duo'er, the photographer wants you to prepare for the next shot."
"Okay, I know! Have the makeup artist come over to touch up my makeup!"
The assistant handed Yun Duo'er the water she had been asked to buy earlier:
"Okay, Sister Duo'er!"
Stepping out of the dressing room, the assistant muttered softly to herself: Assistant life is truly so exciting! Although it's tiring, and Yun Duo'er is difficult to serve, all this gossip is making me so happy! Alas, the only sad thing is that I can't share it with anyone.
The assistant found the makeup artist and brought them to touch up Yun Duo'er's makeup. The assistant noticed that Yun Duo'er's makeup was a bit messy and thought to herself:
That man must have done something to her. And here she is pretending to be pure and friendly. Celebrities truly have many faces!
After filming this scene, Yun Duo'er immediately contacted her manager, Sister Jin, and told her about what had happened that day.
"Don't worry about this matter. I'll investigate what's going on first. Also, don't rush to respond online; try to placate that person first!"
Sister Jin paused, "Also, for the next few days, have Yuan Yuan stay with you at all times. Don't be alone. I'll request from the company to assign you an additional bodyguard!"
"Got it, Sister Jin."
Although Yun Duo'er had informed her manager and the manager promised to resolve the issue, she still worried that the man might suddenly reappear from somewhere and do something detrimental to her, ruining her career.
Sister Jin received contact from the man. The man requested a meeting. The next day, they met at a bar.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
"Hello, Sister Jin!"
