Reunion [entertainment circle]

After getting into the car, Ji Ran gradually calmed down and regained his senses. He grabbed Xia Mo's arm, his eyes full of doubts: "How did you know?"

Xia Mo patted his hand to comfort him, and asked him, "What did Chen An tell you this morning?"

"...It's him?" Ji Ran's eyes widened in disbelief. Chen An has been with him for more than half a year. Before that, he specially recommended him to a director he knew, and wanted to arrange for him to act. His life-saving grace, but Chen An refused, saying that it would be good to learn more experience from him, this kid is diligent and flexible, he works diligently and never complains, whether it is Ji Ran or Say They were all very satisfied with him, and never thought that he would be the one with other purposes and ulterior motives.

"What are you talking about?" Say, who was confused and unhappy, frowned and interrupted them: "Can you explain what happened?"

Except for the three of them, there was only Xia Mo's driver in the car, and the other accompanying staff asked Say to arrange for them to go back, so Xia Mo didn't have any worries, and only hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "Xiao Ran's trousers pocket is hidden in the car. Drugs, luckily found before boarding the plane."

Say was also shocked when he heard it, and blurted out: "How could there be drugs? Where did the drugs come from?"

Now that he bit his lip and lowered his head, he thought for a while, and said to Xia Mo: "You went to the company in the morning, Chen An and Brother Say came to pick me up together, he helped me pack the luggage, and he also picked out the clothes, I didn't pay attention Just put it on, and when he went out, he suddenly said that he was not feeling well for the past two days, and he had an appointment with the doctor to go for a physical examination. Brother Say was still a little unhappy. I thought that the company had arranged other staff to accompany him anyway, so I let him went……"

"You try calling him now."

Ji Ran took out her mobile phone, found Chen An's number, stopped on the dial button, hesitated for a moment and pressed it, and as expected, the phone was turned off.

"That little bastard really did it?!" Say was so angry that his face turned green: "What the hell is he trying to do? How dare he hide now?!"

"Someone told me that Chen An bought white powder from someone he knew, so I guessed that he might use it on you. Fortunately, it's okay..."

Xia Mo roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter to the two of them. Some time ago, he called his friends on the road to investigate that Chen An. He received news this morning that he met several drug dealers through the previous Helen. Tian bought some white powder from them, and Xia Mo had a bad premonition immediately after knowing that Ji Ran was going to take a plane today, so he immediately ran to intercept it, as he guessed, the drug Chen An was not I bought it for myself to smoke, but wanted to frame Ji Ran.

"...Are you investigating Chen An?"

Xia Mo nodded, maybe it was because Chen An was too enthusiastic about Ji Ran from the beginning, which made him very unhappy. Out of his sensitivity to his rival, he actually paid special attention to this little assistant beside Ji Ran. The first time someone broke a bad rumor, it seemed like someone had eyes on him. He was too busy in the United States to take care of this matter. After he came back, he was the first to start investigating from Chen An. He discovered that this kid was not a good comer at all.

"He and Helen knew each other. That time you were taken to the hotel by Helen, I guess he was the one who tipped off the news, and then went to the reporter to wait to take pictures. If your uncle hadn't rescued you, the last thing that came out would probably be It's not the photo of entering the hotel, but it was taken by Helen's dv player..."

Xia Mo frowned as he spoke. If that was the case, he might really go crazy and kill people.

"... No wonder we haven't been able to find out who is targeting you," Say was a little confused when he heard it, and murmured: "We simply went in the wrong direction."

He and Xu Cheng had always thought that a competitor deliberately asked media reporters to stare at Ji Ran in an attempt to smear him, but they never expected that it would be the harmless little assistant around him who did the trick.

*****

Say went back to the company to help Ji Ran deal with the aftermath, and reported the matter to Xu Cheng by the way, while Ji Ran followed Xia Mo back home.

Xia Mo poured a cup of hot water to scare Ji Ran who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and by the way, helped him check all the checked luggage. After making sure there was no problem, he felt relieved, and looked up to see Ji Ran still sitting there in a daze , sighed, and stretched out his hand to pinch his nose: "What? Are you scared? Aren't you fearless?"

Now that he recovered from the stupefaction, he looked at Xia Mo with a twinkle in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Am I not likable?"

"how come……"

"I'm thinking, what kind of hatred do I have with him? He wants to ruin my reputation so repeatedly and even use such tricks to step on me so that I can't stand up?"

In fact, Xia Mo is also very confused about this point. Chen An grew up in an orphanage. He came out to live alone at the age of sixteen or seventeen, because he had a good face. Gradually, he was able to play one or two small roles in TV dramas. Over the past few years, he has been very low-key in this circle, and he has no particularly close friends or connections, so he has never been popular. What kind of hatred does Ran have? It should be said that before, the two of them didn't know each other at all, or even had contact with each other.

After a moment of silence, Xia Mo lightly hugged Ji Ran's waist and comforted him: "You have been in this circle for so many years, and you should know that no one is really pure in heart. Who doesn't have countless small thoughts in their hearts, maybe He's just jealous that someone is making you famous so quickly."

Ji Ran curled her lips, and wanted to say something, the phone rang, and it was Xu Cheng who called. He already knew the matter from Say, and called to ask the specific situation, but Ji Ran had no choice but to tell him what happened. After explaining it again, saying that there was nothing wrong, Xu Cheng over there was still uneasy and told him: "Don't go to other announcements during this time, just stay at the set and film. The wind has been tight recently, so keep a low profile, and keep your eyes open in the future." Just don't trust others indiscriminately."

"Oh……"

Of course he knew that there was a lot of news recently about the drug use of various artists. If Xia Mo hadn't stopped him today, once he was found to be carrying drugs at the airport, he would be almost ruined.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ran was still a little unhappy holding the phone, swiped the phone book twice, called Annie again, and asked her, "Are you home?"

"Miss me?" The person over there teased him. She usually works at night and sleeps at home during the day, and she is still sleeping on the bed at this time.

"Can you help me see if Chen An has gone back? I called him and kept turning off the phone."

Seemingly hearing something wrong in Ji Ran's tone, Annie also let go of her joking mood and asked him to wait a while, and called him back 10 minutes later: "I went to his house and there was no one, and I went to find the landlord. I asked, he already checked out yesterday, what happened?"

Ji Ran didn't want to tell her the details, but just asked: "How did you meet him? How familiar are you?"

"It's okay, it's because the neighbors didn't look up and looked down. What's the matter?"

Chen An moved next door to Annie for more than a year. At first, he became acquainted with him because he was too active and enthusiastic. He helped the coolies move boxes from time to time, and because his appearance was too deceptive, with round eyes and round face, he was shy and shy. Big boys, most people don't have too much defensiveness, and they are easy to get acquainted with. That's why she introduced him to Ji Ran and others when they went to Annie's house to play cards.

Ji Ran casually said a few words to Annie, and after hanging up the phone, he asked Xia Mo: "You said, when he moved to live next door to Annie, did he know about my relationship with Annie early in the morning, and deliberately took off gloves from her to get close to me? "

Xia Mo reached out and rubbed his head: "It's possible, don't think too much about it, let's talk about it when we find him."

When such a good thing happened, they didn't have conclusive evidence, and calling the police would make them feel uncomfortable, so the only thing they can do now is to find out that guy Chen An and find out why he targeted Ji Ran. , and then solve him.

It was almost noon, Xia Mo ordered takeaway, Ji Ran ate a few mouthfuls to barely fill his stomach, and went to bed. Anyway, he had asked for two days off from the crew, and now he was not going to Shanghai, so he just hid Don't go outside the door of the house, so as not to get crazy again.

Xia Mo cleaned up the table and sat down beside the bed. Seeing his listless look, he lowered his head and rubbed his face: "Shall I accompany you?"

"No need," Ji Ran stretched out his hand to push him: "Go to work, I'll take a nap."

Seeing what he was talking, Xia Mo turned his back and pulled up the quilt. He could only forget it, closed the door for him, and left.

******

When he came back in the afternoon, it was almost dark, and he packed food for Ji Ran by the way.They lived in a high-end residential apartment with strict security, but Xia Mo didn't expect that someone would secretly take pictures here. When his car stopped at the entrance of the residential area and swiped his card to enter the door, he keenly felt the sound of flashing lights , Xia Mo subconsciously turned his head to look, and the reporter carrying the cannon barrel in the rearview mirror had already run away.

Xia Mo frowned slightly. He was not an artist himself, and he remembered that he came here specially for a short stay, and it was only possible that he came here for Ji Ran.

Ji Ran, who just woke up after sleeping all afternoon, seems to have regained his mood. He is lying on the bed with his feet up and playing games with his ipad. Xia Mo came in to urge him to get up and eat. I told him about meeting the reporter, and told him to be more careful when going in and out in the future.

Ji Ran laughed when he heard it: "Isn't there a rumor that the two of us are living together, it's just that no one has touched this place before."

"Is this worth your joy?" Xia Mo was very helpless: "If you really want to be photographed, it means that the two of us are living together. Do you still want to hang out?"

Ji Ran reached out to grab the vegetables he bought and threw them into his mouth, he shrugged indifferently: "At worst, just come out of the closet."

Xia Mo raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise: "Come out? If you really come out, it will be very difficult for you to take on dramas in the future. You are not afraid of being drowned by saliva."

"Don't you still have godfather and you? If you don't get the movie, you pay me to shoot it," Ji Ran said happily, "Drool can drown me, I'd have died a hundred times, it's Boss Xia, don't you dare?" Bar?"

"What am I afraid of?" Xia Mo angrily picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth: "I'm not a public figure, so I don't need to care about other people's opinions."

"That's it."

"If the films you make can't be sold in the future, your uncle and I can't throw money into the bottomless pit, can we?"

"..."

Although what he said seemed to be true, but it was too blunt and not so pleasant to hear, Ji Ran snorted angrily: "Can I pay for my own filming?"

Xia Mo was amused by him again: "I know you are a rich young master, but don't spend money recklessly, okay, okay, it's meaningless to discuss this, let people know or don't let people know, can you After all, it is a minority who accept it, and when your fans revolt, it will be you who will feel uncomfortable."

"That's not all your fault." Ji Ran ran back to the room, moved out the ipad, clicked on Weibo to enlarge the picture for him to see: "You can see the airport photo this morning, how can I explain it? "

One by one, they are all close-ups of Xia Mo hurriedly pulling Ji Ran's hand into the toilet, and then taking him out by the shoulder to take him out of the airport, and there are all kinds of revelations. What did I do for half an hour.

"...Don't admit it anyway."

Xia Mo was a little speechless. He was really anxious in the morning and didn't think too much about it. Now it's too late to regret it.
