Chapter 79：Two Performances

Hai City, Wang Hai District, 7:30 PM.

In the heart of the most bustling area of Wang Hai District, the Huitian Plaza, covering tens of thousands of square meters, the stage is set.

A massive stage nearly a thousand square meters in size!

Hundreds of square meters of LED screens!

Top-notch matrix sound systems!

And an array of dazzling stage lights!

This is the venue for the Emperor Yi concert!

An unprecedented atmosphere, a call to action like never before!

The entire Hai City has been taken over by this event, with crowds of people converging here!

Tens of thousands of people are in attendance, creating a cacophony of noise!

It is the largest outdoor concert in Hai City in the past decade!

Ouyang Fengyu and Lü Ziming stand on the side of the stage.

Both are extremely excited and nervous!

Filled with anticipation!

Meanwhile, one kilometer away on the coastal road of Wang Hai District.

The area is eerily quiet.

Desolate, a stark contrast to the bustling Huitian Plaza!

This place, adjacent to the mouth of the Heng River, is met with the rhythmic crashing of waves and the cool sea breeze.

Cicadas chirp, and misty lights create a typical summer coastal atmosphere!

Though lacking in crowd, it is peaceful and leisurely!

The free hospital run by Grandpa Tuo is located on this old coastal road.

In front of the hospital's three-story building, only a few dim yellow streetlights are lit.

Today, unlike usual, a small stage made from old wooden crates has been set up here.

On the wall behind the stage, children have scrawled a message in childish chalk:

"Thank you, Ms. Yan, for the gift from Yingshi Company!"

The stage, background, and lighting are modest, but they exist!

This is the venue for the "Yingshi Group Charity Gala" organized by Lü Di and Yan Qingwen, set up to rival Emperor Yi's concert!

And there are only two spectators!

Yan Qingwen!

Nan Ruoyi!

Of course, a row of two bodyguards stands in the distance, but they seem unenthused.

In this empty place, not even a passerby can be seen, let alone an assassin!

As for Lü Di, Yan Qingwen has searched the entire hospital but cannot find him.

Nor can she find the antique piano!

Yan Qingwen forces a smile as she watches the children with disabilities, who have been taken in by Grandpa Tuo, sitting at the edge of the stage.

These children are all orphans with disabilities taken in by Grandpa Tuo.

Today is a very special day for them.

Each holds a red flower in their hands.

It is their most important day!

Because they are about to perform!

Both nervous and excited!

"Hee hee..."

A little boy with missing front teeth grins at Yan Qingwen, "Sister, please clap for us later!"

Yan Qingwen smiles warmly and nods solemnly, "Of course!"

The smiles on these children's faces are the only source of comfort for Yan Qingwen today!

As for Lü Di's connection to Emperor Yi?

Yan Qingwen cannot even imagine, nor does she dare to hope!

She slowly turns her head to look at Nan Ruoyi, who stands quietly nearby.

Nan Ruoyi is still dressed in an elegant black qipao, her hair flowing gently in the breeze.

Like a goddess of the night, she is stunningly beautiful!

Yan Qingwen apologetically says, "Miss Nan, Qingwen is very grateful for your presence, but the scene today is a bit humble. Please forgive me."

"Miss Yan's kind act is admirable," Nan Ruoyi says, gently shaking her head. "But there is something you have misunderstood."

Yan Qingwen nods slightly, "Please, Miss Nan."

Nan Ruoyi adjusts her hair, which was blown about by the wind, and continues, "The scene today is far from humble."

"As long as Mr. Lü is here, whether in this old coastal building or in the deep wild mountains or even a desert next door, it will shine brightly and be filled with splendor!"

Bright stars...

Radiant brilliance...

Yan Qingwen sighs softly, looking up at the distant sky.

One kilometer away, lasers and searchlights are sweeping across the sky!

The fervent atmosphere and colorful lights illuminate half the sky!

If anything can be called starlight, it must be over there!

As Yan Qingwen is lost in thought, two timid figures slowly walk from the distant alley.

"Kaikai, Xinxin, what are you doing here?"

Yan Qingwen exclaims in surprise.

"We finally found you, Third Sister!" the two girls rush over.

Yan Kaikai grins, "Third Sister, even though we like Emperor Yi and really want to see him, compared to that commercialized concert, your event is more heartwarming and kind!"

"So, we decided to come and support your gala!"

"As for Emperor Yi, we'll just watch the video later!"

Seeing the determined expressions on her younger sisters' faces, Yan Qingwen is deeply touched!

"Thank you, my dear sisters!"

She embraces the two little girls tightly!

After a while.

Yan Qingwen takes a deep breath!

Her face brightens with excitement as she claps her hands and says to the children, "Kids, it's time to get ready, the performance is about to start!"

The children, however, all flash bright smiles, "Sister, don't rush, we're waiting for Lü Di-gege!"

At this moment.

On the central stage of Huitian Plaza.

A stirring piece of music begins, and a stylish and handsome host dashes onto the stage!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Emperor Yi concert!"

The audience erupts in screams!

Countless girls are shouting madly!

Several girls faint on the spot!

"It is now June 19th, 8 PM sharp. Let us welcome the Emperor Yi to the stage!"

The screams intensify!

More people faint!

Smoke erupts from the stage!

Then, a figure slowly rises from the center of the stage on a lift!

The back of a slender young man dressed in a white shirt is revealed!

"Emperor Yi..."

"Ah..."

"My Emperor Yi..."

The audience explodes with excitement, as if they have seen a long-awaited sight!

Their hands wildly reach out!

But they are held back by security guards!

Finally.

The figure fully appears on stage.

He holds a microphone, gives a gentle smile, and turns gracefully.

He is a handsome young man with a refined appearance!

The audience and media gasp in astonishment!

So this is what Emperor Yi looks like!

Elegant, soulful, and handsome!

They go even wilder!

A soft accompaniment begins.

It is the soul-stirring song "Future to Look Forward To"!

The audience falls silent in an instant!

The moment they have been waiting for has arrived!

The 'Emperor Yi' on stage closes his eyes deeply.

He starts to sing softly...

"In those days of roaring waves,

The wind howled by,

We were not afraid..."

Hmm?

The audience, who were enjoying the moment, begin to frown...

Something is wrong with the voice???

"Let the sea submerge...

Let the strong winds sweep over..."

The song continues.

Why does this voice sound off???
