    Chapter 39

    Fei Cheng was anxiously searching for Ye Meng, but the beach market was teeming with tourists, and he had fans surrounding him, making it difficult for him to find her in any of the shops.

    If this continued, Ye Meng would surely be in danger!

    Fei Cheng didn't dare to think further and quickened his pace.

    Finally, in a secluded corner, Fei Cheng spotted a clothing store. Upon entering, he saw Ye Meng selecting clothes.

    Ye Meng held a grass-green outfit, accompanied by Jian Dan, the socially anxious writer, who seemed about to enter the fitting room.

    "Wait a moment!"

    Fei Cheng hurriedly called out.

    Ye Meng and Jian Dan were startled by Fei Cheng's sudden appearance and looked at him curiously.

    "Let's go to another store. I saw a dress that would look perfect on you."

    Fei Cheng said to Ye Meng.

    Ye Meng, flattered, pointed at herself and asked in an affected voice, "Mr. Actor, are you talking to me?"

    Ye Meng hadn't tried to flirt with Fei Cheng during the show because she knew that pursuing a top actor like him was beyond her reach as a newcomer, so she kept her distance from the beginning.

    But now, Mr. Actor was initiating conversation with her?

    This was like a dream come true!

    She had to seize this opportunity and get close to Mr. Actor!

    Without caring that Jian Dan was still picking out clothes beside her, Ye Meng ran over to Fei Cheng, forcing a pure smile. "Sure, sure!"

    Jian Dan stood there, stunned by what he saw.

    Just last night, Ye Meng had kissed him, and they had been inseparable all day!

    How could Mr. Actor's appearance change her so completely, making her leave him so readily?

    Jian Dan, who had never been in a relationship, felt incredibly inferior. He knew he couldn't compare to Mr. Actor in any way, so he could only watch helplessly as Ye Meng went to fawn over him.

    Ye Meng kept urging Fei Cheng to move, while Fei Cheng turned to call Jian Dan, and the three left the store together.

    Along the way, Ye Meng subtly leaned closer to Fei Cheng, while Jian Dan, who had been inseparable from her earlier, was now left behind.

    The live comments showed different reactions.

    [Does Fei Cheng have a thing for Ye Meng? He seemed jealous when he saw her with Jian Dan!]

    [I bet that's exactly it! I've never seen Mr. Actor act so urgently before! He must be jealous!]

    [Case solved! Mr. Actor likes Ye Meng!]

    [Please, Mr. Actor wouldn't like someone like Ye Meng! She failed to curry favor with Yi Tiantian, then tried to cozy up to Jian Dan, and now she's clinging to Mr. Actor like a puppy. She's such a fake!]

    [What did our Meng do to you? What's your problem? I'm convinced Mr. Actor likes Meng!]

    [Exactly! Those who don't believe can keep watching. You'll see!]

    Ye Meng's fans were aggressive and certain that Mr. Actor liked their Meng!

    Not just the fans, even Ye Meng believed it herself.

    So when she entered the store Fei Cheng recommended and received the "perfectly suitable" outfit, she was dumbfounded.

    Because Fei Cheng handed her a loose, ugly old man's shirt!

    And it was particularly unattractive.

    "Mr. Actor, did you grab the wrong one?"

    Ye Meng looked at the shirt in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly.

    "No, I think this is perfect."

    After leading Ye Meng and Jian Dan away from the problematic store, Fei Cheng's emotions stabilized, and he returned to being the aloof actor.

    Ye Meng, holding the ugly, oversized shirt, realized that Mr. Actor couldn't possibly like her.

    Because associating her with such an ugly shirt meant she wasn't special to him at all!

    Ye Meng clenched the shirt tightly, standing there with gritted teeth.

    But since it was personally recommended by Mr. Actor, leaving without trying it on would be impolite, so she reluctantly went into the fitting room.

    Ye Meng's fans in the live comments felt embarrassed, realizing they had been proven wrong.

    [Hahaha, how could someone you like pick such an ugly outfit? Those who said Mr. Actor likes Ye Meng, step forward!]

    [Some fans need to stop living in their fantasies. Come back to reality! If Mr. Actor likes Ye Meng, I'll eat my words!]

    [Didn't you say we'd be proven wrong? Why aren't you speaking up now? Keep shipping them; no one's listening!]

    Ye Meng's fans couldn't withstand the ridicule and fell silent.

    Taking advantage of the lull, Fei Cheng asked Jian Dan, "How did you end up at that clothing store?"

    Jian Dan, not in high spirits, replied softly, "Wei Lily and Tang Hu suggested it. They said the clothes there were cheap and nice, so Ye Meng dragged me along."

    A growing sense of doubt began to cloud Fei Cheng's mind.

    He had always assumed that the mole was Ye Meng, as she seemed to overreact every time something strange happened, almost as if she were deliberately heightening the atmosphere of fear.

    But now it seemed that the mole might not be her but either Wei Lily or Tang Hu!

    At this moment, Fei Cheng suddenly realized that Ye Meng had been in the fitting room for far too long and still hadn't come out!

    His heart raced with alarm, and he rushed to the fitting room door, knocking urgently. "Ye Meng, are you okay?"

    From inside, a faint scream of a woman could be heard!

    Fei Cheng immediately tried to open the fitting room door but found it locked from the inside by Ye Meng earlier!

    Jiang Cheng also ran over, trying anxiously to pull the door open.

    But his strength was no match for the wooden door!

    Just then, Fei Cheng kicked the door forcefully, shattering it into pieces, sending splinters flying everywhere.

    The tourists and the shop owner all gasped in shock.

    Fei Cheng then saw that the floor beneath the fitting room was empty, and Ye Meng had fallen into a large pit below!

    "Actor Fei, help me! Cough, cough..."

    Dust filled the air, and Ye Meng, terrified and coughing, desperately reached out for Fei Cheng, hoping he would pull her up.

    Fei Cheng and Jiang Cheng together managed to pull Ye Meng out of the pit, causing chaos at the scene.

    Soon after, the staff evacuated the tourists, while Jiang Cheng helped Ye Meng sit down to rest and check for any injuries.

    Fei Cheng immediately approached the shop owner and asked sternly, "What's going on? Why is there a big hole in your fitting room?"

    The elderly owner stammered, waving his hands. "I don't know, my son did the renovation..."

    Fei Cheng frowned, knowing that everything must have been planned by the mole!

    But how could the show use such a dangerous method to design a mole task?

    Could it be that this wasn't done by the mole?!

    Yes, if it wasn't the mole, everything would make sense!

    The mole in the show is Ye Meng, but someone else set this up!

    Who could that person be...

    Just then, a familiar voice echoed again.

    "It was all done by Wei Lily!"

    "Luckily, Ye Meng didn't enter that clothing store where a complete human trafficking chain was set up! Otherwise, she would have become a missing person!"

    It was Yi Tiantian!

    Everyone turned their gaze toward the door, where Yi Tiantian, who had mostly recovered, entered.

    "What happened?"

    Yi Tiantian pretended to be unaware and asked upon entering.

    "Just now... Ye Meng accidentally fell into a big pit in the fitting room."

    Fei Cheng's eyes lit up the moment he saw Yi Tiantian, as if she were his little sun.

    The commenters in the live stream, having recovered from the shock, expressed that this was the look of an actor in love!

    [Case solved! The actor likes Yi Tiantian!]

    While the commenters were busy discussing, the atmosphere at the scene was tense.

    Upon hearing Yi Tiantian say that Wei Lily was behind everything, Ye Meng nearly choked on the water she was drinking.

    If Yi Tiantian had said it was Tang Hu, she might have believed it!

    But Wei Lily, a quiet and gentle girl, couldn't possibly be involved in such a heinous act of human trafficking!

    Fei Cheng also grew serious, realizing that he had been deceived by Wei Lily's innocent demeanor!

    The staff members looked at Yi Tiantian in disbelief, unable to accept that Wei Lily could do such a thing!

    But Yi Tiantian's explanation soon provided answers.

    "Wei Lily has parents with severe violent tendencies, and she grew up under the shadow of domestic abuse."

    "As she grew older, Wei Lily started uncontrollably torturing animals for pleasure!"

    "She even killed the dog in the hotel!"

    "As an adult, she continued to torture animals and developed an extremely obsessive personality. Two years ago, she met Jiang Cheng, the manager of Sunshine Beach Resort, in a group dedicated to animal abuse, and they quickly became close!"

    "Faced with Ye Meng, who stole the person she liked, Wei Lily teamed up with Jiang Cheng, who secretly trafficked people, planning to sell Ye Meng to the Middle East as a sex slave!"

    "Wei Lily is a true psychopath!"
