Whoever possesses this list holds the Sword of Damocles over the heads of entertainers.
Anyone with a dirty past fears it.
Xiao Hei said busily, "Got it!"
"From what I know of Jiang Ling, she'll likely arrange for her agent, Sister Sa, to contact you. While this woman isn't as clever as Jiang Ling, she's no pushover. When you talk to her, remember to be careful and don't slip up. Do you understand?" Jian Zhou cautioned earnestly.
"I understand!"
...
After briefing Xiao Hei, Jian Zhou returned to Jiang Ling, stating that the contact had been made, though the price was a bit high.
One million for dirt on a second-tier celebrity.
Three million for dirt on a top-tier A-lister.
Jian Zhou set these prices to allay Jiang Ling's suspicions.
Little did he know, Jiang Ling had already seen through his entire scheme.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling merely smiled faintly, then asked Jian Zhou for Xiao Hei's address and contact information, forwarding it to Sister Sa.
After her workout, Sister Sa took a look and drove to the address.
Half an hour later, Sister Sa arrived at a shop below a high-end residential building.
She looked up and saw the shop name, 'Hee Hee Hee Detective Agency', and her lips twitched.
Judging by the name, this was clearly not a serious operation. Was it reliable?
Sister Sa reconsidered; few paparazzi were paragons of virtue. If they were too proper, they wouldn't get things done.
With this thought, Sister Sa, carrying her newly purchased Hermès picnic basket, walked straight in.
Xiao Hei had received Jian Zhou's message in advance, knowing Sister Sa was coming, and was already waiting.
As it was a cloudy day, the light outside was dim, and Sister Sa couldn't see Xiao Hei's features clearly, only that he seemed quite tall.
"Are you Miss Jiang's agent?" Xiao Hei asked amiably.
"I am. You can call me Sister Sa," Sister Sa replied.
"I know. Come inside to talk!"
Xiao Hei turned and walked deeper into the shop, turning on the fluorescent lights.
As the lights came on, Sister Sa finally got a clear view of Xiao Hei.
The moment she saw him, Sister Sa's eyes lit up.
She scanned Xiao Hei from head to toe.
She found that aside from his skin being a little darker, his features, demeanor, and physique were exactly her type.
In short: "He's exactly my type!"
Damn, this appearance was so much to my liking.
Seeing Sister Sa staring intently at him, Xiao Hei felt a prickle of unease. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing,"
Sister Sa snapped back to reality, lowering her eyelids and smiling. "I assume you know why I'm here?"
"I do!" Xiao Hei nodded.
"Since you know, I'll get straight to the point. Can you do this?" Sister Sa asked directly.
"Yes, if the money is right, I can do anything!"
To play his part to the fullest, Jian Zhou had intentionally quoted a high price, making Jiang Ling believe Xiao Hei was difficult to hire, thereby dispelling her suspicions.
Xiao Hei naturally had to follow the script he had written.
"You can do anything as long as you get paid?"
Sister Sa leaned close to Xiao Hei's ear, her alluring red lips parting slightly. "Does that include package deals, billed annually?"
Xiao Hei flinched violently, immediately stepping back a few paces, arms crossed protectively over his chest. "I'm not that kind of person. Be serious."
Sister Sa chuckled. "What kind of person? I meant, I want you to charge annually, specifically to collect dirt on Jiang Ling. How is that not serious?"
Sister Sa laughed heartily.
This Xiao Hei was simply too amusing!
