They ended the break within five minutes to not make the leftover people stand for too long. Chen Waan, who had sat down at behind the stage kept her half-finished soup on the side and came back as soon as she heard Wang Zibo.
Another fan came up on the stage. A normal looking girl who was wearing a cute frock and had parted her hair into two pigtails. The cute girl looked like an angel and was quite talkative. She had even made friends with the security person regulating the line of fans down the stage.
"Fan Fan! Can I have a hug please?" she asked cutely. She was speaking English perfectly, so there was no reason for Chen Waan to step in.
Actually, it was a well known fact that Mo Yifan was proficient in English. This was why, most of his fans preferred to talk to him in English since it was easier to talk to him directly.
Mo Yifan, who had been recharged by the break, got up and hugged the girl. The girl, however, would not let go of him. Mo Yifan had to put some force to separate himself from her.
She then took out a box from her bag and put it in front of him on the table. "Fan Fan, I got a special gift for you," her angelic smile was affecting most of the people on stage. Only Chen Waan was the one who did not give a damn about people here.
Mo Yifan thanked the girl and per her instructions, pressed the button on the box. The cover of the box opened like a flower, confetti exploding all around him. In the middle of the box, a knife with its tip pointing upwards flung high in the air. It was just rightly inclined that by the time people understood what was happening, the knife had already started descending.
The stage erupted in chaos with just Mo Yifan, Chen Waan and the girl at their places. Rest everyone ran for their lives, for no one knew where that knife was ending up and who it was going to injure.
Chen Waan had not been paying attention but the knife actually came towards her. Mo Yifan instantly got up and pulled her towards himself. He had had these types of instances before, so he had trained himself rigorously regarding such matters.
What he did not understand was, if Chen Waan was targeted purposefully. But again, he could have kept the box in any orientation. It could have flown out of stage even. But that girl had not directly given it to him, she had placed it on the table. He did not suspect anything at all. How did it make into the place even? They had scanned all the people for metals before letting them in.
"Hehehe," the girl laughed. The security surrounded her as soon as they saw the weapon.
"My love, my Fan Fan, you should be mine. What are you doing among all these so-called fans who do not value you at all? And these people in your company, what are they even doing? Wasting your talent on nothing. I know you are much more than just an idol. I have money if that's what you want, but I can give you the life you desire. Come with me, won't you?" she looked at him, her smile sinister and her eyes like that of a madman.
"Get her out of here," Wang Zibo instructed.
"This is not the end my Fan Fan! I will be back!" the girl repeated as she was being carried out by the security.
"Are you okay?" he asked Chen Waan who was still in his embrace and watched the whole thing unfold in front of her eyes. She separated immediately after his question and looked at the knife which had dropped on the ground. She was indeed in its path and could have been gravely injured of not for Mo Yifan. She nodded and thanked the guy.
"Don't just throw her out. Arrest her and look into how she got it inside. This is ridiculous," Mo Yifan said angrily. He was scarier when he channeled that anger in his low voice, coolly.
Such a sick joke! Would he be able to make it to the concert today? There were just too many obstacles today for some reason. Chen Waan looked at Mo Yifan who had gone back to his seat and tossed the box aside for police to take later. He was going to continue with the meeting? Her eyes widened with shock.
If he was going with it, then she would too. She again took her position behind him.
"You should go take rest, this must have been quite an experience for you. We shall investigate why you were the one who was targeted," he looked straight into her eyes to look for hints of fear. She could have indeed been gravel injured.
"I am fine. It has probably not sunk in yet. Let's continue, it is last few people," she said normally. Now that she had entered this world, she would be going through this sooner or later anyway. Why not train herself right here, when the opportunity had presented itself.
Mo Yifan glanced at her once more, and when he was convinced that was indeed fine, he signaled the security to start the line again. As an apology, he hugged all the last ten or so people and provided them with personal gifts.
In the end, Chen Waan learnt an important lesson. Most criminal looking people could be normal while the most normal looking people could be the ones who had hidden motives and evil hearts.
The fan meeting wrapped up smoothly. As soon as they went inside, the news of the attack had already become viral. The netizens had already found the identity of perpetrator as well. Apparently, she was the daughter of a big business tycoon who ran toy making business. No wonder she had mentioned that she had money. They were going to interrogate her thoroughly.
The second chapter for today. I apologize for the delay, work was really hectic this week. I hope to stockpile a few chapters this time. Let's see if it works or not.
