Chapter 190

Because the various misdeeds that Lan Lan's father had committed in past television appearances were exposed, and since Lan Lan had a large fan base online, netizens began to speak out for her once these details came to light.

A comment from a user named 'Night's Several Hundredth Chapter': "This demon doesn't deserve to be Lan Lan's father!! I hope Lan Lan can escape their control and become independent soon!"

User 'New Zealand Lan' commented: "As a three-year loyal fan of Lan Lan, I never imagined that the little girl I adored was living in misery all this time…… Lan Lan's parents should be held accountable for their actions!"

User 'Writing for Parting Sorrow' commented: "When will Lan Lan grow up? I hope she can become independent soon!"

Many fans posted related comments online, and surprisingly, someone even designed a webpage to gather more netizens and initiate a petition, hoping that Lan Lan could change guardians and leave the family that didn't value her.

The situation escalated until it finally reached Lan Lan's grandparents, who rarely went online. A neighbor had seen the news on their phone and kindly informed the elderly couple.

Lan Lan's grandparents were well-educated professionals who had studied abroad and returned to China. However, after returning, they devoted their lives to teaching, leaving little wealth behind.

They had always disagreed with making Lan Lan a child star, and upon hearing from the neighbor how their son and daughter-in-law were treating their granddaughter, the two elders insisted on bringing Lan Lan to live with them.

Though elderly, Lan Lan's grandparents were determined to take Lan Lan away from her parents and give her a better life.

Meanwhile, in the car, Yi Tiantian had already seen the outcome of this incident in the rumor system.

"Ahhh! I didn't expect Lan Lan's ending to be updated!"

"It seems that the exposure of Lan Lan being treated as a tool by her family caught the attention of her grandparents!"

"After the grandparents took Lan Lan into their care, they ended all her activities as a child star and began teaching her from scratch, erasing all the negative ideas that had been instilled in her!"

"In the end, under her grandparents' guidance, Lan Lan grew up to be a knowledgeable and strong woman, and she followed in their footsteps to become a teacher."

Listening to Yi Tiantian's thoughts, Yueyue and Yang Yang both sighed in relief; it seemed that the world would soon have another happy little girl.

"Although Lan Lan no longer continued as a child star, she lived a life more suited to her, and fans strongly supported her choice!"

"But when will I finally be able to relax and live a peaceful life?"

Yi Tiantian looked out at the rapidly passing scenery outside the car window and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

As a small star in the entertainment industry, Yi Tiantian didn't have very high material desires. He already had a house and a car and just wanted to live comfortably in his small villa for the rest of his life.

If things went well, he hoped to find someone who truly understood and loved him to spend the rest of his life with.

However, the affairs of the Dusk Society were like a sword hanging over everyone in this world. If left unattended, that sword would eventually fall and might split the world in two.

"After I deal with the Dusk Society, I can finally start relaxing and living a peaceful life…"

Yi Tiantian thought to himself while mentally encouraging himself.

"This is my first time attending the Dusk Society's gathering; I must prepare in advance!"

In the car, Yueyue and Yang Yang listened to Yi Tiantian's thoughts and both pretended not to have heard.

But just then, Yi Tiantian spoke up, "Yueyue, Yang Yang, do you know where they sell pinhole cameras?"

As his long-time personal assistants, Yi Tiantian completely trusted Yueyue and Yang Yang, so he didn't think much and asked directly.

"Hmm… I think some stores might carry them. Why do you need one, Yi?"

Yueyue curiously turned her head to look at Yi Tiantian.

"Hmm, I’ve noticed some suspicious people hanging around the villa recently, so I was thinking of installing a few cameras to keep an eye on things."

Yi Tiantian cleared his throat and fibbed.

"Oh, I get it."

Yueyue nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Yang Yang, who was driving.

"Yang Yang, do you know where we can get some good cameras?"

"Sure, I know a place."

Yang Yang glanced at Yi Tiantian through the front mirror and said,

"Yi, I'll drop you off at home first, then go buy the cameras for you."

Yi Tiantian had originally planned to ask and then buy the cameras himself, but since Yang Yang offered to help, he hesitated for a moment.

After all, he was buying the cameras to secretly record the Dusk Society meeting. This was too important to mess up.

But Yang Yang had been his assistant for a long time, and having just flown for five hours, Yi Tiantian was feeling somewhat tired. So, he agreed to Yang Yang's offer.

"Alright, make sure to buy good quality ones, even if they're expensive."

Yi Tiantian instructed.

"Because I need to catch these guys red-handed."

He still wasn't very good at lying, but strictly speaking, this wasn't exactly a lie, because Yi Tiantian did indeed intend to expose the entire Dusk Society.

Unnoticed by both Yi Tiantian and Yueyue, Yang Yang smiled to himself.

...

After returning home, Yi Tiantian changed his clothes and immediately collapsed on the sofa, while Yueyue and Yang Yang headed out to make the purchase.

While his body was resting, his mind was still going a mile a minute, thinking about the meeting he would attend in two days.

Fu Chongye had said it was just a simple gathering, so there was no need for fancy attire, and the pinhole cameras had already been entrusted to his assistant to buy...

Yi Tiantian thought carefully and realized he was as ready as he could be. All that remained was to adapt to the situation at the meeting.

He took a deep breath and tried to relax, deciding to quietly wait for the day to come.

When Yueyue and Yang Yang returned with the cameras, they found their Yi had already been half-asleep on the sofa. The two looked at each other and quietly changed into slippers at the entryway.

They hadn’t meant to wake Yi Tiantian, but despite keeping their voices low, he must have heard them despite their quietness.

"You're back!"

Yi Tiantian, with sleepy eyes, looked at Yueyue and Yang Yang and couldn't help stretching.

"You gave me a start! How do you two move so quietly?"

Yueyue and Yang Yang were a bit embarrassed, because they had been startled too!

Seeing Yi Tiantian suddenly open his eyes while seemingly sound asleep had been quite frightening.

"We didn’t mean to wake you, but you opened your eyes on your own."

Yueyue patted her chest to calm herself down.

"Yes."

Yang Yang smiled too.

Yi Tiantian stretched again, finally fully awake.

"Did you get them? Let me see what they look like—I've never seen one before!"

Yueyue and Yang Yang quickly showed him the pinhole cameras they bought.

"We bought a few, Yi Ge."

Yueyue reached into the white plastic bag and pulled out a few boxes of pinhole cameras. She smiled as she placed them one by one on the table.

"I can't believe how many different designs these tiny cameras come in! We should definitely be more careful from now on, since who knows when we might be recorded by one of these!"

Yi Tiantian looked at the packages on the table and carefully picked each one up for a closer look.

He had never seen anything like this before. Now that he saw them, Yi was genuinely surprised by how advanced the technology had become!

The pinhole cameras were extremely small, small enough to be hidden in a pocket or worn as a brooch on a collar, and they came in all kinds of strange designs.

Like cameras hidden in watches, TV remotes, or even toys...

"There are all kinds of designs!"

Yueyue laid out all the cameras, stood in front of the coffee table with her hands on her hips, and excitedly announced, "Are you satisfied, Yi Ge?"

Yi Tiantian played with the camera hidden in the teddy bear, then tried on the watch with the camera built into it. He nodded, "Not bad, now I can use these as security footage at home."

"Yi Ge, if you really encounter any strange people, be sure to call the police!"

Yueyue instructed.

Yi Tiantian blinked and nodded vigorously.

"I will."

Yang Yang, listening to their conversation, couldn't help but let his lips curve into a slight smile.

...

After all his careful preparations, Yi Tiantian finally chose a camera hidden in a watch. It could clearly record the surroundings when worn on his hand.

On the day of the gathering, he decided to wear a long-sleeved shirt, which would perfectly hide the watch.

The next day, Yi Tiantian slept in until late morning, as he needed to relax as much as possible for the more important tasks awaiting him the next day.

After waking up, he tested the camera on the watch several times. Only after confirming that it worked perfectly did he place it aside with peace of mind.

But Fu hadn't said anything since he announced the gathering.

With nothing to do at home, Yi Tiantian suddenly remembered the show he had left halfway. He decided to check out the live stream of *Special Forces Action!*

He had never watched the live stream as a viewer before, but now, as a viewer, he prepared to watch an episode of the live stream for the first time.
