Ling Zhenfei was extremely anxious, but what use was anxiety? At this moment, while on a plane, all he could do was wait for it to land and then find a way to locate Xiao Yun.
The plane provided newspapers from both Tangcheng and Modu. Bored, Ling Zhenfei started reading them.
A piece of news caught Ling Zhenfei's eye. It was about a super solar eclipse—the largest of this century—that would occur on the sixteenth of this month.
This solar eclipse would plunge most of Huaxia into darkness and the effect would last for some time.
Ling Zhenfei had seen an eclipse when he was young, but it was a partial eclipse, not a total one. The world didn't go dark then, yet the experience was unforgettable for Ling Zhenfei.
This time, Ling Zhenfei didn't want to miss the total eclipse.
There was plenty of news, and since he was idle, Ling Zhenfei continued reading the newspaper, which also included reports on the film festival.
The newspaper dedicated significant space to introducing Ling Zhenfei—especially the song he sang, which received special mention.
However, Tangcheng's newspaper placed news of Ling Zhenfei in the entertainment section, mentioning the film festival and the banquet he attended last night.
It's likely that these journalists knew about this due to Xiao Sa's livestream, and the rest was speculation.
Ling Zhenfei was a celebrity now, and appearing in the newspaper was entirely normal.
Compared to that, Modu's newspaper was more rigorous, avoiding unnecessary details.
Between the lines, the newspaper offered praise for Ling Zhenfei.
However, Tangcheng's newspaper was different. It fabricated quite a bit and published unverified information.
The attitude towards Ling Zhenfei was evident in the content—Tangcheng's news seemed to belittle him more.
Perhaps it was because Ling Zhenfei caused such a commotion in Tangcheng last time, leaving their journalists with unfavorable feelings towards him.
No matter how many fans Ling Zhenfei had, there were plenty of Black Childs. Some didn't care about his merits; they attacked him for a single misstep.
Ling Zhenfei was used to such things and didn't take them too seriously.
Now that Ling Zhenfei's wounds were healed, he wasn't afraid of fighting. If a fight was inevitable, they couldn't blame Ling Zhenfei for being unkind.
The plane slowly descended. Ling Zhenfei disembarked and headed outside.
Initially, he wore only a mask, but before leaving the plane, Ling Zhenfei went to the restroom to completely change his clothes and appearance, disguising himself as a middle-aged man.
Tangcheng was a very dangerous place for Ling Zhenfei, so he intended to keep a low profile.
Ling Zhenfei walked outside alone but was suddenly shocked at the exit as he discovered fans waiting for him.
Ordinarily, celebrities would be thrilled to see fans meeting them, especially if they were beautiful girls; it would be even more delightful.
Yet, instead of feeling happy, an abrupt chill crept into Ling Zhenfei's heart.
Why would Ling Zhenfei feel cold inside? The reason was simple—it meant his information was exposed again.
In the past, this might have been fine, but this time Ling Zhenfei was here to save someone and needed to act as discreetly as possible.
Moreover, Ling Zhenfei's flight to Tangcheng was an impromptu ticket change. If there was any fan reception, it should have been in the Provincial City, not so quickly organized in Tangcheng.
It had only been a few hours since the ticket change, yet so many people were already organized to greet him. It was somewhat incredible.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei believed there was certainly something suspicious about these fans, especially since all the fans were girls. This was quite unexpected.
Not only were they girls, but very attractive ones at that. Ling Zhenfei's fans were of various kinds.
Even though the weather wasn't cold, it wasn't warm either, yet these girls were in short skirts and shorts, all showcasing long legs and amazing looks.
Ling Zhenfei ignored these girls and quietly moved behind them, finding a distant spot to observe.
A crowd surrounded these girls, those people there clearly to ogle them.
After observing a while, Ling Zhenfei sensed something was amiss—certain people within this crowd seemed suspicious.
At least one man and one woman behaved very dubiously. If they were attracted to these girls, others around them had already shifted several times, yet they hadn't moved.
Occasionally, the man and woman exchanged glances, indicating acquaintance.
Ling Zhenfei deliberately approached to get a better look, seeing glaringly that they were both armed. How they smuggled the weapons in was unknown.
It was certain these two had no good intentions.
After a while, some fans began to show discontent from waiting so long, having grown tired.
Initially, they calculated the time from when Ling Zhenfei's plane landed, but despite waiting so long, he hadn't appeared.
These girls became displeased as this experience didn't match their expectations.
A young man stepped forward, urging, "What are you doing? Don't stop! Ling Zhenfei will be out shortly."
The girls forced themselves to perk up, holding signs in anticipation of Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei understood without explanation that these girls were hired by those men.
The motive was simple: when Ling Zhenfei emerged, the girls would swarm him.
This moment would leave Ling Zhenfei most defenseless, surrounded by attractive female fans where anyone might lose some reason.
This timing was perfect for their attack.
Their hearts were dark enough to devise such a plan.
Ling Zhenfei was furious; using his fans for an assassination attempt was utterly shameless.
Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei wasn't one to enjoy fan receptions, evading this crisis.
He increasingly felt that his trip to Tangcheng was far more dangerous than imagined, complicated beyond belief.
Initially, Ling Zhenfei intended to leave but suddenly formed a plan.
As these two planned to assassinate him, they would return somewhere regardless of success. Ling Zhenfei was desperate to know his enemy.
Perhaps following them would lead to whoever kidnapped Xiao Yun.
With this thought, Ling Zhenfei stayed, observing from a clear vantage point to see where this group would go.
