The car entered a quiet road. With no traffic, the white van became even bolder.
It sped up and drove alongside them, flashes firing nonstop.
“They’re risking their lives!” the manager cursed, about to call the police.
Then he stopped and sighed.
“Calling the police won’t punish them much. Just criticism, and then more controversy.”
Xie Jixing was silent for a moment.
“Keep driving. Stay steady.”
He patted Wei Tingquan’s hand.
“It’s fine. I’ll shake them off.”
“They won’t follow you again.”
The manager was stunned.
Wei Tingquan suddenly remembered how Xie Jixing had helped Jiang Yueli block drinks before.
…He seemed reliable.
“Will you be in danger?” Wei Tingquan asked, worried.
“No.”
“Sister Yue, Teacher Yin,” Xie Jixing instructed his two ghost helpers.
“Full package—ghost maze and nightmare backlash.”
Work time.
Yue Qinyao hadn’t acted in a long time. Her ghostly energy surged.
Her black hair floated out of the car and stuck to the white van’s windshield.
After covering it, it drifted away and moved to the black sedan, pasting hair onto its windshield too.
While she did that, Yin Wenshan wrote four gloomy talismans.
The contents were… impressive.
Hiding in an idol’s closet to spy.
Putting cameras inside plush toy eyes.
Sending blood-written letters: “I love you. If you don’t love me, I’ll die.”
Mixing saliva and blood into food and making desserts for the idol.
Even Yin Wenshan, a ghost, shuddered.
So perverted. So perverted.
When the two ghosts finished what they were doing and drifted back, the two cars gradually slowed down. They obediently followed behind the van, keeping a very proper and safe distance.
Everyone inside the van was stunned.
Wei Tingquan’s manager exclaimed in disbelief, “They really slowed down!”
But what was even more surprising was yet to come.
After the van passed an intersection and continued straight ahead, the white minivan and the black sedan behind it suddenly made U-turns and headed in the opposite direction.
“Awesome!” Wei Tingquan’s manager was completely convinced. “How did Teacher Xie do that?”
Xie Jixing seriously promoted himself, “Didn’t I say at the meet-and-greet? We provide customized religious services.”
“Like… ghost walls and stuff…”
Manager: ……
Wei Tingquan: ……
Driver: ……
Wait, seriously?
We all thought you were joking.
“Then before, those twenty bottles of alcohol…” Wei Tingquan leaned over and whispered.
“Sold for quite a lot of money,” Xie Jixing whispered back.
“Hiss!”
Wei Tingquan gave him a thumbs-up. Impressive!
People in the entertainment industry were more or less superstitious.
Wei Tingquan’s team immediately decided that from now on, they would frequently go burn incense at Shancai Sect and donate more incense money.
Finally shaking off the annoying tail, the driver hummed a little tune, steered the van back onto the correct route, and smoothly arrived at the hotel.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the white minivan was extremely strange.
The driver chatted nonstop with the passengers.
“I told you, renting my car wouldn’t be a problem!”
“If you’re willing to add another 200 yuan, I can get even closer. How about it?”
But the four passengers in the back didn’t respond.
These four girls were well-known in the private car-rental circle. They could pay high prices but often demanded dangerous and illegal maneuvers, so many drivers refused their business.
Of course, some were willing to take the risk—like this driver.
He even hoped to turn this into a long-term partnership. He needed the money.
Usually, the girl in black took the lead. The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, but her attention clearly wasn’t on him.
She kept her head lowered, her body trembling slightly, doing who knows what.
“Crazy,” the driver muttered, and continued following the van ahead.
Inside the black sedan behind them, a male reporter sat in the passenger seat.
He aimed his camera at the windshield, clearly broadcasting the road and traffic ahead.
He excitedly provided off-screen commentary:
“As far as I know, there are several female fans in that white minivan.”
“They’re wealthy and very young, so there’s a strong possibility that their relationship goes beyond just artist and fan.”
“Look, that white van is following very closely. It’s definitely not an ordinary vehicle.”
【Fans? Aren’t these stalkers? Do stalkers even count as fans?!】
【I’m speechless. This is dangerous driving. Instead of stopping it, you’re filming it? Are you sick?】
【The entertainment industry is ruined by people like this!】
【Call the police already! This is way too dangerous.】
Some viewers were extremely angry about the stalker fans’ behavior.
But most of the reporter’s audience just wanted thrills and gossip, with little sense of morality.
【If you don’t like it, leave. Someone’s risking their life to stream gossip for you, and you’re still picky?】
【So moral? Go read the newspaper. Why are you in a gossip stream?】
【I love this kind of excitement. If you don’t, get out. Stop ruining the mood.】
As the arguing continued, the stream’s popularity kept rising.
The reporter checked the data—his viewer count had surpassed one million for the first time. A number he’d never even dreamed of before.
So he paid to push the trending topic up in advance.
#Live! Wei Tingquan and Xie Jixing suspected of secretly meeting fans after the fan meeting#
Once the topic trended, even more viewers flooded in.
The reporter stopped watching the chat and became even more enthusiastic.
“Look! That white van is closing in!”
“There’s light flashing inside the windows. I suspect it’s some kind of signal.”
“Could it be the hotel room number?”
【So this is how ridiculous gossip gets made.】
【That’s just stalkers’ flashlights, and he calls it a secret code.】
【Unbelievable logic.】
【So exciting! Go faster, stick closer too!】
Many viewers egged them on.
But at that moment, the white minivan suddenly slowed down.
It obediently kept to 40 km/h, becoming extremely law-abiding.
As the van got farther and farther away, viewers grew anxious.
【Catch up! You’re about to lose them!】
【What are you doing, sightseeing?!】
At this time, all three cars stopped at a traffic light.
When it turned green, Wei Tingquan’s van went straight ahead and sped off.
But the white minivan turned on its signal, made a U-turn, and drove back.
Amazingly, the black sedan followed and also made a U-turn.
【So they’re not following anymore?】
【Did they get discovered?】
【Maybe they’re changing routes?】
Viewers were baffled. Was it over just like that?
Yet the reporter kept up his excited narration.
“They’re closing in! We’re even closer now!”
“Brothers, family, wait a moment. Let me see if I can film inside the van.”
He then raised his camera and wildly shot at empty air.
【???】
【What is he filming?】
【This is pure acting. So awkward.】
【No wonder paparazzi these days are terrible.】
Still, since stalker car-chasing was rare, the viewer count kept increasing.
Then everyone witnessed the gossip stream slowly turn into something bizarre.
After reaching another intersection, both cars made U-turns again.
At first, viewers stubbornly guessed:
【Maybe the white van wants to shake us off before following again.】
【Yeah, probably. They should just chase the van.】
【It’s fine to stick with the white van. They’ll meet eventually.】
But at the first U-turn intersection, the white van turned around again.
Then it kept making U-turns on the same stretch of road, circling endlessly.
Even more strangely, the reporter seemed completely unaware of anything wrong and continued hyping up the stream.
“It’s been about half an hour since we set out. I think we’re almost at the hotel. The white van hasn’t changed routes at all—this secret meeting is basically confirmed.”
“Wait a bit. I also prepared a drone. When they stop, we’ll stay farther away and send the drone to film.”
【……】
【Bro, wake up. You’ve gone around this road five times already!】
【I came for excitement and now I’m getting sleepy.】
【Why does this feel creepy? It’s like what we’re seeing is different from what he’s seeing.】
【Damn, now I’m wide awake.】
【If only one car did this, fine. But both cars… it’s like…】
【A ghost loop!】
【Oh my god, stop! I’ve got goosebumps!】
In the distance, police sirens could faintly be heard.
Some viewers had called the police when the stalkers were tailgating.
The area was remote, so they arrived late.
When the police reached the scene, they were also confused.
The road wasn’t long, yet the white and black cars kept circling back and forth. It looked extremely strange.
The police stopped by the roadside and used a loudspeaker.
“Vehicles ahead, pull over!”
The shout startled the people inside, as if they suddenly woke up.
The white van’s driver noticed the fuel gauge was almost empty and pulled over.
Once it stopped, the black sedan stopped too.
Seeing this, the police immediately surrounded them.
“Someone reported you for disturbing public order. Line up and get out of the cars one by one!”
