61: Chapter 61 The Flight Attendant Who Asked for an Autograph

He Qixiang and Cai Guoqiang exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

When they appraised this painting, most of their time was spent on the 'painting' itself. They also looked at the characters, but not as carefully.

The two old men quickly walked to the bed, each holding a magnifying glass and examining it closely.

Their movements were so fast that as they passed Chen Shaoping, they created a gust of wind, actually lifting the corner of his clothes.

Chen Shaoping felt a little uneasy watching their posture.

He firmly believed the System wouldn't make a mistake, otherwise, these two furious old gentlemen in front of him might really 'tear him apart'.

A moment later, their eyes were filled with deep suspicion.

"Kid, come here. You said there was a problem here, but why can't we see it?" He Qixiang ordered.

He and Cai Guoqiang had examined it with magnifying glasses for a long time, but still couldn't see anything unusual about the character 'bird'.

Chen Shaoping walked over, repeated the appraisal method provided by the System, then said, "I'll go find a hotel attendant for some tools."

He Qixiang's gaze was fixed on the character 'bird', almost spitting fire, yet his tone was unusually calm: "No need."

Then he took out a small knife from his waist, attached to a keychain, and cut his left index finger. Blood immediately welled up.

Chen Shaoping frowned, not expecting the old man to be so stubborn.

He tore two pieces of tissue from the bedside to press on his index finger.

"Old He, if something happens because of this, my sin will be great."

Cai Guoqiang looked at his old friend, also surprised by his strong reaction today.

"No need. You'd better pray you're right, otherwise, you'll know what it means to take advantage of one's age."

He Qixiang dripped a few drops of fresh blood onto the mirror surface, then took the tissue Chen Shaoping offered.

After wiping his hands, he pressed it directly onto the wound.

He carefully placed the magnifying glass on the character 'bird', then took another magnifying glass from Cai Guoqiang's hand and examined it closely.

Gradually.

His head sank lower and lower, and his face grew paler and paler.

His eyes slowly lost focus, and his lips mumbled soundlessly.

Finally, as if drained of all strength, his body went limp, and he collapsed.

Chen Shaoping, quick-witted, grabbed his arms.

The old man was quite heavy, and he almost couldn't hold him up.

Cai Guoqiang also came over to help, and the two helped He Qixiang to sit by the bed.

Seeing his old friend's state, Cai Guoqiang already understood, but he still wanted to see it clearly for himself.

He picked up the magnifying glass and was about to step forward when Chen Shaoping quickly stopped him, saying helplessly.

"Old Cai, please don't be like Old He again, or my little life might really end here."

Chen Shaoping half-jokingly advised, "How about... we don't look anymore?"

"It's fine, I won't be like him, with such poor psychological resilience."

Just like He Qixiang, Cai Guoqiang also began to examine it seriously.

Slowly.

His face began to turn pale...

This time, Chen Shaoping was careful and didn't wait for him to completely collapse.

He directly picked him up by the waist and carried him to the bed, letting him lean against the headboard.

"Young Friend Chen, let go, I'm fine."

He turned to He Qixiang, who was slumped by the bed, and sighed faintly: "Old friend... this time, our loss is not unjust."

By the time Chen Shaoping returned to his room, it was already past three o'clock.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a piece of intelligence. You have gained 3 paparazzi points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a piece of intelligence. You have gained 5 paparazzi points.]

[Host has paparazzi points: 41 points]

Two rewards appeared at the same time. It seemed that Tian Jun's operation went smoothly, and the intelligence on Zhang Mo had been wrapped up.

Exhausted by the two old men, Chen Shaoping collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Chen Shaoping was woken by his alarm clock. Since he had a flight back to Yangcheng at 1:15 AM, he set his alarm for 8 o'clock.

His head was still a bit foggy after waking up, and only felt better after washing his face with cold water.

After getting everything ready, there was still no sign of Wang Bo and Zhou Bule.

Chen Shaoping angrily carried his things and knocked on their room door.

By the time the three of them rushed to the airport, boarding had already begun. This was the result of them running all the way.

It turned out that after Chen Shaoping left last night, the two of them were too excited to sleep.

They ordered some wine and started drinking, eventually getting completely drunk.

If Chen Shaoping hadn't called them, they would have certainly overslept.

Chen Shaoping, with a stern face, severely reprimanded the two of them and, still angry, kicked the 'culprit' Wang Bo a few times.

After getting on the plane, Wang Bo apologized with a cheeky smile: "Da Ping, don't be angry, I promise it won't happen again!"

Zhou Bule also apologized along with him.

Chen Shaoping couldn't be bothered with them, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes to rest.

"Dear passengers, the plane will be taking off soon. Please cooperate with the cabin crew's safety check, fasten your seatbelts, stow your tray tables, straighten your seatbacks, and passengers by the window, please assist in opening the window shades.

At the same time, we will dim the cabin lights. If you need to read, please turn on your reading light. We wish you a pleasant journey."

A while after the plane took off, Chen Shaoping was half-asleep when he suddenly heard a faint sound beside him.

"Wang Bo, I watched your competition last night. I really like you, you'll definitely become a big star. Can you give me an autograph?"

A sweet, clear female voice said.

It must have been a flight attendant.

"These two are Zhou Bule and Chen Shaoping, right? One isn't good-looking, and the other can't sing. I don't like either of them."

"I still prefer handsome guys who can sing like you."

The girl continued with her sweet and saccharine voice.

Chen Shaoping got goosebumps all over; it was so sickeningly sweet, he felt like throwing up.

Wang Bo was excited by the words — it was his first time being asked for an autograph by a flight attendant. His fingertips trembled slightly as he held her hand.

"Thank you for liking me. Where would you like me to sign?"

"Um, the place I want you to sign is a bit private. How about we go to the restroom and take our time signing, okay?"

The girl's soft voice came again, and she unconsciously shook Wang Bo's hand.

The swaying was quite noticeable in the dimly lit cabin.

Chen Shaoping's scalp tingled. He didn't expect this fellow Wang Bo to have such a 'romantic encounter'.

If Sister Qian found out, he wondered if Wang Bo could still handle it.

"I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend. Chen Shaoping doesn't, though, should I wake him up for you?"

The flight attendant's face immediately darkened. She stomped her foot and turned to leave.

A faint curse could be heard drifting back.

"Idiot!"

After getting off the plane, Wang Bo saw Chen Shaoping constantly smiling at him without speaking, and felt a chill down his spine.

He didn't know how he had offended him again, so he could only say helplessly.

"Da Ping, Brother Ping. What did I do wrong? I beg you, tell me, I'll definitely change."

Chen Shaoping, imitating the flight attendant's tone, cursed him.

"Idiot!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Bule, who was beside him, burst out laughing. It turned out he hadn't been asleep either.

Wang Bo immediately realized, his blood pressure rapidly soaring to the top of his head, his face flushed red as he continuously begged for mercy.

"Brother Ping, Brother Bu. I was wrong, please don't let my girlfriend know about this, otherwise, I'm finished."

"I beg you all."

The three of them joked and ran, arriving at the airport parking lot in no time.

A familiar graceful figure was already standing by the car, smiling as she looked at the three of them.

"CEO Li!"

"Sister Qian!"
