Chapter 2

After breaking through the encirclement, we ran all the way to a secluded little motel outside the stadium.

As I opened the door, I tossed the clothes to Jiang Shaotian.

“Smell them.”

He leaned in and took a sniff, then nearly threw up. “That fox stench is insanely strong!”

I nodded. “Then we found the right place.”

With that, I lifted a hand and pushed the door open.

A figure came rushing over in a panic.

“Master! How did it go?”

I glanced at him. “It’s confirmed. The hottest idol in the industry right now, your former teammate Song Yu, is a Charm Fox.”

When Cheng Jie heard that, his whole body lurched a step backward. His hood fell, revealing the large black mole on his face.

It made him look hideous.

…

Three years ago, a male idol group called Meteor successfully debuted through a survival show.

For a time, they were in the spotlight, with countless fans.

The most popular member among them was their captain, Cheng Jie.

With his handsome looks and exceptional vocals, his popularity stayed sky-high.

That same year, Meteor won Best Popular Boy Group, while Cheng Jie himself also won Most Popular Male Singer.

But a year ago, one of the group members left due to an injury, and after the new member Song Yu parachuted in, everything changed…

Cheng Jie said that Song Yu had a shy personality, and he was afraid Song Yu wouldn’t adapt well to group life, so he had always taken extra care of him.

But as they spent more and more time together, stranger and stranger things started happening within the group.

Either someone would keep making mistakes during performances, leaving Song Yu alone to save the entire show.

Or someone would get hit with rumors and buried under scandal.

Or someone’s voice would suddenly go hoarse the day before a performance…

The unluckiest of all was Cheng Jie.

One morning, a black spot suddenly appeared on his left cheek without warning.

At first, he didn’t pay it much attention, but the spot kept growing bigger and bigger.

A few hairs even started sprouting from it.

Left with no choice, he canceled all his appearances and went to dermatology.

As for that mole on his face, every doctor was helpless.

Before long, the company executives found out about it.

Capitalists care about profit above all else, and they gave Cheng Jie one month.

But a month later, not only had his face not improved, it had become impossible to show in public.

So at the beginning of this year, the boy group Meteor officially released a statement saying that captain Cheng Jie was leaving the group for personal reasons. Because of that, he also went through a long period of online harassment.

At the same time, Song Yu replaced Cheng Jie and became Meteor’s new captain.

Only then did Cheng Jie suddenly realize that, without his noticing, Song Yu’s popularity had already surpassed his own.

He had grown more and more handsome, and his performance on stage was practically flawless every time.

Fans praised him as an all-around entertainer.

He had taken Cheng Jie’s place and become the new top idol.

The company boss treated Song Yu extremely well. All kinds of prime resources were handed to him, he could go on any hit variety show he wanted, and they were even preparing to get him acting scripts.

Cheng Jie spiraled into despair and holed up in his rental apartment, not going out for a long time.

The praise netizens showered on Song Yu stabbed into his heart like knives.

Success can make a person flourish?

He believed that.

But he didn’t believe that all these incidents, one after another, could be mere coincidence.

Full of doubt, he used every connection he had to get in touch with the Jiang Family of Phoenix City…
