Chapter 462: Chapter 463: No Escape

A female journalist interjected, "Enough with the gossiping, get moving and find He Jinxia!"

The two male journalists hurriedly nodded and passed by the group surrounding He Jinxia. She faintly heard the two men say:

"You’re incredible, to infiltrate He Jinxia’s fan group. I never thought of that method."

"That’s because you’re a newbie, and I’m an old hand. Remember to buy me more stuff as a gesture of respect, and I’ll teach you a few useful tricks—guaranteed to get you front-page stories."

"Alright, boss, if I catch He Jinxia this time, I’ll take you as my master..."

As the two left, He Jinxia could no longer hear them.

The dozen or so fans surrounding He Jinxia exchanged glances, unsure what to say as they turned to look at He Jinxia inside the circle.

The fan who had inadvertently revealed He Jinxia’s whereabouts felt very sorry and asked in a low voice, "Fat Emperor, what are you going to do?"

The others also looked at her nervously.

It couldn’t be helped, the journalists were right beside them—right there beside them!

At such a close distance, damn it, there was no way to escape if they were caught!

It was a coincidence that the paparazzi following He Jinxia hadn’t obtained her actual whereabouts, so they hadn’t followed her from Qingdu. However, the absence of paparazzi on He Jinxia’s side didn’t mean there weren’t any lying in wait at Imperial City Airport.

Today, He Jinxia’s movements had accidentally collided with He Minqing’s.

The reason there was a swarm of paparazzi waiting for He Minqing at the airport was first, unlike He Jinxia making the shortlist for Berlin, He Minqing’s scandal had broken just five minutes earlier that evening.

Second, He Minqing had deliberately leaked her itinerary, already prepared to answer the paparazzi’s questions, intending to cause a stir.

There were competitive relationships among the stars, and He Jinxia knew these journalists had originally come to corner He Minqing. A bitter smile crossed her face, thinking that He Minqing would probably blame her if she knew the journalists had been drawn away.

If she knew that He Minqing’s scandalous press release collided with her own Berlin shortlist news, she would probably feel even more helpless. Vying for the spotlight was like declaring war, and now poaching journalists was tantamount to a fight to the death.

He Jinxia glanced at Cheng Xiaohua. Sister Xiao Hua looked equally nervous, her grip on He Jinxia’s arm tightening.

At that moment, a spark of inspiration flashed through He Jinxia’s mind, and she whispered, "I have a plan."

...

Three minutes later, their group dispersed, some wearing sunglasses and masks, others wearing only a mask.

They all wrapped their coats tightly around themselves and lowered their heads, dispersing in all directions.

Media reporters nearby took notice, their gazes instinctively chasing after them. All these people seemed suspicious...

Some journalists felt something was off and straightforwardly followed them.

Chasing two here, another two there, the huddle of media reporters quickly thinned out.

Seizing the opportunity, He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua quickened their pace and started walking faster, taking bigger and more urgent strides until they were outright running.

As they ran ahead, the journalists who chose to follow them also started running.

"Wait up, stop for a moment!"—a journalist called out from behind.

He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua heard the remark; their expressions changed slightly as they began to sprint wildly through the airport!

Because of their suspicious behavior, some journalists’ eyelids twitched, growing more convinced that the two people running ahead were He Jinxia and her slightly plumper and shorter assistant, Cheng Xiaohua!

With He Jinxia’s tall figure and the assistant being shorter than average, weren’t the two up ahead a perfect match?

Thinking such thoughts, a journalist’s shout outpaced his mind, yelling: "He Jinxia, stop running!"

He Jinxia, stop running...

Don’t run...

Don’t run...

Run...

This sentence echoed in the airport hall for a long time, and the bustling airport came to a momentary standstill at this moment, as if a binding spell had been cast.

Suddenly, at some moment, the binding spell disappeared, and everyone erupted into chaos!

"He Jinxia is here? Where is He Jinxia!"

"Where’s He Jinxia, I want her autograph!"

"Could it be just a coincidence that someone has the same phonetic name, or why would He Jinxia be at the airport? Is she about to take a flight or just got back?"

...

Passersby who heard this started looking around for He Jinxia instinctively.

And at this time, as if the shouting journalist felt that it wasn’t chaotic enough, he pointed at the two who were still running ahead and shouted, "He Jinxia is her, she is the one running at the front!"

He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua’s steps stiffened, and a bad premonition immediately rose in their hearts. When they turned around to look, the eyes of those behind them shone like wolves.’

The next second, they moved, swarming towards her!

He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua’s faces turned pale, and they quickly turned their heads and sprinted away desperately.

In their hearts, they cursed the journalist who had yelled out; it was like preferring to shatter into pieces rather than be entire tiles. Was it necessary to let everyone know?

Now they were really in a situation where even wings wouldn’t help them escape!

A strong desire to survive made them speed up even more, with Cheng Xiaohua leading by half a step, but she was too panicked, choosing her path haphazardly, and sometimes after several turns, they realized they were back where they started.

The airport was huge, one layer overlapping another; just duck into a place and you’d find yourself in a new layer.

They zigzagged left and right through the airport, followed by a huge crowd, which was quite a spectacle.

Some passersby who caught a few of the running people asked what was happening and, knowing they were chasing He Jinxia, they too joined the celebrity-chasing ranks.

The news that "He Jinxia is at the airport" spread from mouth to mouth among the bystanders, and almost everyone still at the airport knew about it, except for those who had just gotten off the plane.

At the same time, the journalists planning to ambush He Minqing also received the news; they were hesitant, not knowing whether to continue waiting for He Minqing or to chase He Jinxia.

There was already a group of journalists chasing He Jinxia; if they went now, they might not catch up, whereas by blocking this exit, they could catch He Minqing and get firsthand information about her scandal.

But the news about He Minqing wasn’t as valuable as that about He Jinxia. Sigh, what a dilemma.

The journalists waiting for He Minqing were thinking this when suddenly, two figures flashed past them.

These journalists didn’t react immediately and were overtaken by those two, and then a noisy clamor approached, and another large group of people appeared in front of them.

The crowd ran excitedly, screaming as they ran, "He Jinxia! He Jinxia!!"

Huh?

He Jinxia??

The group of journalists widened their eyes and quickly realized what was happening, looking at each other.

Could that fleeting figure have been He Jinxia?

The next second, they all shivered and without fear joined the chasing horde.

She had just passed them by, falling right into the net; how could they miss this!
