Chapter 142

After their last visit to Lucky Beauty Parlor, Yi Tiantian and Xie Niao had joined the establishment’s VIP membership.

Both of them were eagerly awaiting news about the parlor’s upcoming exhibition.

However, during this period, a minor incident arose. Last time Yi Tiantian went to Lucky Beauty Parlor, he had been photographed by a paparazzo!

As Yi Tiantian stepped out of the parlor, someone took a picture of him from behind. The angle of the shot was quite strange because the person had been standing inside Lucky Beauty Parlor, shooting outward.

Yi Tiantian struggled to remember if there had been anyone suspicious behind him, but nothing came to mind.

Within just a few hours, this news spread rapidly and climbed to a high position on the trending list.

#Yi Tiantian PlasticSurgery

Fans who clicked on the tag were thoroughly baffled. They had never imagined that Yi Tiantian would become embroiled in a plastic surgery controversy!

All the marketing accounts posted the same image of Yi Tiantian leaving Lucky Beauty Parlor.

Fans inundated the comment section, shocked. This beauty parlor had been all the rage recently, but they hadn’t expected that Yi Tiantian, a star who clearly didn’t need any work done, had visited it!

“Tian Tian Le Le”: What?? Isn’t this Yi Tiantian, who fans call a godlike beauty? Why would he go for plastic surgery?! Is he dissatisfied with his appearance? Hahahaha!!

“Am I Alone”: I’m really fed up with these marketing accounts. Could you please verify your facts before posting news?! Clearly, Lucky Beauty Parlor is for beauty treatments, not plastic surgery! Yi Tiantian is a celebrity who’s always in the public eye—is it such a big deal if he gets a beauty treatment?! Some people really think too highly of themselves, don’t they?!

“Swish Swish Swish”: Exactly! Our Brother Tiantian is the most beautiful and handsome being in the world! Those saying bad things about our brother are definitely just jealous! But it’s pointless to be jealous because our brother is the best-looking! I think anyone who doesn’t like Brother Tiantian has no taste!

“8 Centimeters Per Second”: Seriously, fanboys in the comments section, stop defending your brother! This parlor does both beauty and plastic surgery, okay?! I’m really done here.

Yi Tiantian’s brows furrowed slightly as he read.

It was obvious to him that many people in the comments were hired trolls, posing as his fans while actually tarnishing his reputation!

And behind them, there had to be a mastermind orchestrating the plan.

A quick check in the system helped Yi Tiantian determine the true situation.

It turned out that Chang Yun was behind the entire thing!

He had bought the trending tag and paid for numerous trolls to leave sarcastic comments, all to make Yi Tiantian’s fans look like a bunch of irrational fanatics!

This would ruin Yi Tiantian’s public image completely.

In the future, Chang Yun could then happily imitate Yi Tiantian’s style without anyone accusing him of copying Yi Tiantian!

“Chang Yun, he’s clearly involved in suspicious activities at the parlor, and yet he has the nerve to pin the blame on me. What a shameless individual!”

“And most importantly, Chang Yun knows that the red liquid is blood! He’s a VIP customer at Lucky Beauty Parlor!”

“Knowing it’s the blood of those kids, how can Chang Yun still commit such an atrocity? Chang Yun, you’re truly disgusting!”

Yi Tiantian seethed internally.

But just then, his phone buzzed with a notification. A message promptly appeared on his screen.

Yi Tiantian picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Dr. Qin!

Dr. Qin was an undercover officer sent by the police.

Although Yi Tiantian didn't know how Dr. Qin had discovered that he and Xie Niao were there to secretly investigate the matter, he knew that Dr. Qin was definitely on the right side.

After unlocking his phone, Yi Tiantian read the message from Dr. Qin.

Dr. Qin: Surprise! Surprise! Big surprise! Our Lucky Beauty Salon is offering a special benefit for all VIP customers! Tomorrow at 8:00 PM, at [address], we will host an event featuring the magic of rejuvenation! We will showcase the golden technique of restoring youth for our VIP customers! This is a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss! We hope all VIP customers will sign up and attend!

The message continued for a bit longer, but the general idea was that there would be an event at Lucky Beauty Salon the next night, and all VIP customers were invited to attend.

"Magic? It’s not about making people younger through magic at all!"

"It’s actually a cruel procedure where they harvest organs from children and transplant them into elderly people to achieve a rejuvenating effect!"

Yi Tiantian knew that this matter was extremely urgent, and Dr. Qin sent him this message not only because he was a VIP customer but also as a warning.

Just then, Xie Niao called Yi Tiantian.

"Tiantian, did you get the message from Dr. Qin? There’s an event tomorrow night. Should we go?"

Xie Niao asked anxiously, her brows furrowed.

To stop this from happening, Yi Tiantian naturally agreed.

"Okay, let’s meet in front of Lucky Beauty Salon again."

...

The next night at 8:00 PM, at the entrance of Lucky Beauty Salon.

Strangely, the event was at the same beauty salon Yi Tiantian and Xie Niao had visited before.

"No wonder the basement was so clean—it was all in preparation for tonight’s event!"

Yi Tiantian thought to himself.

Tonight, Yi Tiantian wore a mask and a hat to avoid being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.

"Tiantian Ge."

Xie Niao arrived on time, and after greeting each other, they entered the Lucky Beauty Salon.

Today, the receptionist, Ren Chunwei, was not at the front desk to welcome customers. Instead, there was a stranger wearing a white, bird-like mask with a pointed beak, so Yi Tiantian and Xie Niao couldn’t see their face clearly.

"Hello, could you please show your membership cards?"

The voice was hoarse and low, with a strange tone.

Yi Tiantian and Xie Niao had already prepared their membership cards, so they handed them over to the strange person at the front desk.

After checking their membership cards, the person in the white, pointed beak mask bowed and then took out two black masks identical to his and handed them to the two.

"To ensure customer privacy, please put on these masks."

Yi Tiantian and Xie Niao exchanged glances, then put on the pointed beak masks.

The two of them walked down the path with servers wearing identical pointed-beak masks guiding their way, and finally, they were led into the main hall.

Inside the main hall at night, the lights were not turned on. Only the tranquil white moonlight filtered through the skylights, illuminating the enormous "Love Me Goddess" sculpture.

This made the goddess, with her hands folded across her chest, seem particularly eerie at that moment.

Inside the hall, there were already many VIP customers standing still. They all wore beaked masks, making it impossible to identify each other.

The woman standing before the "Love Me Goddess" statue, Ren Chunwei, was managing the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient. In 10 minutes, the entrance will close, and then we can all witness the birth of magic together!"

Ren Chunwei also wore a beaked mask, but while everyone else's were black, hers was red, making her stand out in the crowd.

"This Ren Chunwei is the mastermind behind the illegal organ trafficking and transplants!"

"She is also a high-ranking leader in the Dusk Society, essentially one of the top leader’s lieutenants!"

Yi Tiantian found the relevant information again in the gossip system.

Xie Niao observed Ren Chunwei closely.

She didn’t expect her to have such high authority.

"I believe that every customer here has undergone blood treatment and has seen excellent results. Isn’t that right, everyone?"

At that moment, Ren Chunwei addressed all the VIP customers present.

"Yes!!!"

Their collective response was deafening.

The scene was almost like that of a pyramid scheme rally!

Among the crowd, Yi Tiantian spotted a familiar figure. During the earlier shout, the man’s mask had slipped slightly from the force, allowing Yi Tiantian to get a clear look.

Chang Yun, who had shouted loudly, seemed extremely satisfied with the effects of the blood treatment.

"Chang Yun is actually attending the exhibition tonight?!"

Hearing Yi Tiantian's words, Xie Niao followed his gaze and looked towards Chang Yun.

Although he had put his mask back on, based on his silhouette, Xie Niao was certain that it was Chang Yun.

She hadn’t expected him to attend this exhibition. From now on, she would ensure her friends who admire Chang Yun stop following such a morally corrupt and psychologically twisted idol!

Yi Tiantian then shifted his gaze back to Ren Chunwei in front of the sculpture and spotted another familiar figure.

It was Dr. Qin.

Wearing a white doctor’s coat, Dr. Qin also wore a white pointed beak mask.

Ren Chunwei explained to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, Dr. Qin will be the creator of our magic. Let’s give him a round of applause!"

The crowd of people wearing black beaked masks clapped fervently, as if they had lost their sanity, creating an incredibly eerie atmosphere.

"An undercover cop performing the surgery?! I can’t imagine how strong Dr. Qin’s mental fortitude must be to carry this out..."

"If it were me, I might expose myself because I couldn’t bring myself to do it..."

Yi Tiantian frowned and felt nervous for Dr. Qin.

Then Ren Chunwei spoke again.

"Alright, now that all our VIP customers have arrived, our magic is about to begin in a dazzling fashion! Please form a line and enter the magic basement in an orderly manner, and together, let’s witness the birth of the youth magic!"
