The studio’s rehearsals continued without incident.
Chi Tong provided Luo Ying daily updates.
Today marked the first full rehearsal of the song. Luo Ying had to be present personally.
The members of the boy band were all in high spirits. Thanks to Luo Yings prior instructions, Chi Tong had kept a sharp eye on their fitness, routines, and diet. As a result, each member appeared in excellent shape. A subtle touch of makeup enhanced their masculine allure.
As the band struck the opening notes, Luo Ying sensed its success right away. She couldn’t help but marvel at Min Yu’s skill in both songwriting and composing.
After the opening concluded, the song moved into its lyrical section. The four young men showcased remarkably solid singing and dancing. Min Yu’s dedicated training was speaking for itself.
As the performance concluded, Luo Ying enthusiastically clapped and cheered.
This had far exceeded her expectations. Her keen intuition indicated that this song would undoubtedly become a hit.
Next, she plunged into a demanding endeavor—the debut performance of the boy band.
Every aspect of this project carried immense importance. If done right, it would be a spectacular success; if done poorly, it could crumble the band before they even soared and ruin all their hard work.
Luo Ying and Chi Tong found themselves at the venue daily. They constantly engaged in promotional activities that kept them extraordinarily busy.
Lu Zhao’s heart ached as he watched Luo Ying toil. “You’ve been spending more time with your manager than with me.”
Luo Ying couldn’t help but find his little tantrums of jealous to be as adorable as a golden retriever.
“Once we wrap up the debut, I’ll spend quality time with you, alright?” Luo Ying consoled him in the manner one would comfort a child.
Finally, the day of the performance arrived. On this day, Luo Ying felt more nervous than anyone.
In order to kick- start the atmosphere, Luo Ying opened the show with her own singing and dancing. She chose a song she excelled at.
She had a few notes to discuss with Min Yu. However, Min Yu was nowhere to be found.
Luo Ying anxiously called Min Yu’s number over a dozen times, but received no response.
When the performance time was drawing near, Luo Ying couldn’t put things on hold any further and had to step onto the stage.
She was still as brilliant a performer as ever. She sang and danced with unbridled energy, which earned her endless applause from the audience.
As the atmosphere heated up, Luo Ying began to settle into her zone and calm down.
Once offstage, she barely had time to change costumes. Instead, she swiftly picked up her phone and dialed Min Yu’s number.
There was still no answer.
With mounting anxiety, Luo Yings heart raced. On one hand, she had poured so much effort into the boy group that was about to perform. On the other hand, their lyricist had suddenly vanished.
She patted Chi Tong’s shoulder with gritted teeth and instructed him, “Keep an eye on things here. I have to find Min Yu.”
Though Chi Tong was equally anxious, he hesitated. “Sister Ying, you’ve put so much effort into today’s performance. Are you really not going to watch it live?”
Luo Ying nodded. Regardless, Min Yu’s safety took precedence.
She drove directly to Min Yu’s residence and urgently knocked on the door but received no response.
Luo Ying called numerous times. There was still no answer.
Just as hope seemed to fade and she considered moving elsewhere, the door creaked open.
Min Yu’s hair was disheveled. Her eyes were bloodshot. Clutched in her hand was a half-empty beer bottle that emitted a strong odor of alcohol.
Luo Ying could hardly believe her eyes.
Just two days ago, Min Yu’s eyes had been radiant as they discussed lyrical matters. How had things deteriorated so quickly?
As Luo Ying approached and held Min Yu’s shoulder, the latter burst into tears.
Luo Ying guided her to her room and was met with even greater chaos. Empty bottles littered the floor. The room was imbued with the heavy scent of smoke.
What was happening? Min Yu had never smoked or consumed alcohol in the past. Why had she changed so drastically?
Luo Ying took the bottle from Min Yu t s hand and gently wiped her tears away.
“Tell me everything. What happened?”
Min Yu gazed at Luo Ying. Her parched lips trembled slightly.
“Yingying, Luo Feng…”
“My brother… What happened to him?” Luo Ying’s voice trembled with urgency.
“Luo Feng is dead.” Min Yu sobbed once more.
Luo Feng was gone? How?
Through teary eyes, Min Yu recounted the tragic events.
Two nights earlier, she had received an unexpected text message from an unfamiliar number claiming to be Lu Wen. The message contained a photo of Luo Fengs lifeless body.
Luo Feng had been covered in blood while riddled with several bullet wounds.
Lu Wen had threatened Min Yu by instructing her to inform Lu Zhao to meet him at the pier in three days. Failure to comply would result in another person’s death..
