Chapter 613: Intercept the Photos
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Okay,” said Wei Zhiqian. Then, he hung up the phone.
As long as Tan Mo was with him, Wei Zhiqian never cared about anything or anybody else. Actually, he had heard the notification tone of WeChat, but he didn’t check who it was.
Wei Zhiqian clicked on the WeChat icon and saw Han Zhuoli’s message. Then, he entered the message box and saw a lot of photos Han Zhuoli had sent him.
Wei Zhiqian frowned slightly and clicked on the photos.
The photo covered the whole phone screen. Wei Zhiqian recognized it at a glance. The photo showed a scene in which he was with Tan Mo. The camera was facing his back, but Tan Mo was lifted up a little because she was carried by him. Consequently, her small face was completely exposed in front of the camera.
If these photos were really posted online, those people would recognize Tan Mo at once, even if they couldn’t see Wei Zhiqian’s face.
A crease formed between Wei Zhiqian’s eyes. Apparently, Tan Mo had been targeted by someone.
That guy didn’t film Wei Zhiqian’s face, probably because he hadn’t recognized him. Or, he thought these photos would have no bad influence on him.
If that guy did not recognize Wei Zhiqian, he would see Wei Zhiqian as someone that he could afford to offend, and naturally, he had the guts to post those photos on the Internet. And if he didn’t, he was not afraid that these photos would have a bad influence on Wei Zhiqian because Wei Zhiqian’s face could not be seen at all. Therefore, Wei Zhiqian was not likely to get mad at it or take revenge on the one who took the photos.
Apparently, this guy’s target was Tan Mo.
However, this guy had no idea of the relations.h.i.+p between Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian. The fact that Tan Mo was slandered by a nameless hater made Wei Zhiqian even angrier.
Wei Zhiqian immediately called Han Zhuoli back.
A moment later, Han Zhuoli picked it up. Obviously, he had been waiting for Wei Zhiqian’s call.
“Are you done?” No sooner had Wei Zhiqian asked Han Zhuoli about how he got the photos than Han Zhuoli began to explain, “You know that Manman works in public relations. She is now cooperating with a lot of famous marketing promotion accounts, and there are a few of them who have a very good relations.h.i.+p with her. Sometimes they will not only talk about business and work, but also some personal issues.”
Wei Zhiqian nodded.
Manman, who was mentioned by Han Zhuoli just now, was his girlfriend, Lu Man.
However, other than family or close friends, such as Lu Man’s mother and Han Zhuoli’s friends, no one else knew about their relations.h.i.+p.
After dealing with a few famous cases, Lu Man had already become the top public relations pract.i.tioner in the entertainment industry.
“These photos were first found by one of them. You know, he has worked in the entertainment marketing industry for years, so he is very sensitive to this kind of information. He knows that Kefeng Films has invested in ‘Broken Continent’. He doesn’t want to offend Wei Feng, but he is unable to get in touch with you. Also, he was afraid that if he contacts Kefeng Films, he will be treated as an extortioner.” Han Zhuoli explained.
“So, he showed the photos to Manman. When she received the photo, she recognized Tan Mo at once. And she felt the man in the photos a little familiar, but she could not remember who he was. But anyway, Tan Mo is in the photo, which is for sure.”
Lu Man surely knew Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo, but not as much as Han Zhuoli did. Although she felt that the man in the picture looked familiar, she did not recognize him. However, she could recognize Tan Mo, and that was enough.
Lu Man was smart. As soon as she received this news, she immediately came to realize that someone was trying to slander Tan Mo on the Internet.
“Fortunately, that dude is Manman’s friend. He intercepted the photos at once and showed them to Manman. I recognize you as soon as I saw these photos. Don’t worry, these photos won’t be exposed. Manman has contacted several other marketing promotion accounts and told them if they receive similar photos, don’t publish them on the Internet, and she would consider it a favor she owes them.
“As for the rest of those marketing promotion accounts, I’ll handle them,” Han zhuoli said. “But don’t worry, these accounts are very expensive, I don’t think that guy can afford the promotion fee of all of them.” He knew the prices of publis.h.i.+ng a message on a marketing promotion account like those. Therefore, he a.s.sumed that the one who took the photos was not rich enough to pay for that.
“I’ll deal with those photos for you. You’d better go and find out who is slandering you and Tan Mo on the Internet,” Han Zhuoli said.
However, since Han Zhuoli has recognized Wei Zhiqian in the photos, he was extremely curious about the relations.h.i.+p between Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo at the moment. After all, the way they hugged each other had shown something that everyone would be suspicious of.
Han Zhuoli was suspicious as well. “Didn’t Wei Zhiqian say that Tan Mo was his niece?” he wondered. “So how could he do that to her?”
In the photos, Wei Zhiqian was hugging Tan Mo as if he had done this a hundred times. “Wei Zhiqian, can’t believe you’re such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” Seeing this, Han Zhuoli couldn’t help thinking in his mind. After all, Tan Mo had been calling Wei Zhiqian uncle for twelve years! “How could you do this to an eighteen-year-old girl that you had watched grow up?” Han Zhuoli wondered. “She’s your niece. How dare you!”
Han Zhuoli didn’t know much about Tan Mo, but he had known her since she was a little child. At that time, she was still a very cute little girl. Every year when the Spring Festival came, Wei Zhiqian would take Tan Mo to visit Han Zhuoli. To some extent, he was the one who had watched Tan Mo grow up year after year.
However, Han Zhuoli knew he shouldn’t worry about that at the moment. What Wei Zhiqian needed to do was find out the guy who took the photos. Therefore, he decided to wait for some time.
“Alright, I know you must be busy,” Han Zhuoli said. “We’ll talk about it after you find out who did that.”
Wei Zhiqian was speechless.
It was rare that Wei Zhiqian didn’t even know how to reply.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Zhiqian didn’t go back into the house. Instead, he called Zhou Jingan immediately.
“I’ll send you a set of photos.” Wei Zhiqian briefly explained the situation to Zhou Jingan. “Only a part of the crew members were there that day. I didn’t see anyone take photos secretly, which means that guy must have been hiding in a room. He didn’t dare to take photos in the corridor.
“I remember when Momo caught Lin f.u.xi at school, she came up with a good idea. According to the angle and distance shown in the photos, we could figure out which room the photos were taken in, and then we could find out who took the photos,” said Wei Zhiqian.
“I’ll go and check right now.” Zhou Jingan noted down what Wei Zhiqian told him and hung up the phone. Then, he arranged for all the people who had partic.i.p.ated in the capture of Lin f.u.xi to find out the one who took the photos.
“Fortunately, these photos were intercepted by Mr. Han,” said Zhou Jingan. “We have to find out that guy as soon as possible before he knows it. And we’d better find him today, or he will know the photos he took have been intercepted, and she will post the photos through other channels. By then, we can still stop him, but we’ve got no other choice.
Zhou Jingan arranged for all these people to carry out an investigation right away.
As for Wei Zhiqian, he couldn’t tell Tan Mo about this in front of her family. After all, if the Tan family knew that he had secretly gone to the production team to meet Tan Mo, they would get mad at him.
However, Wei Zhiqian didn’t want to hide the truth from Tan Mo.. He would tell her sooner or later.
