Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Shameless
Chapter 38 -38 Shameless
“What talent will Teacher Mu perform?”
Lin Qingyue was quite looking forward to Mu’s talent, wondering if it was singing. If there was a god-level live performance like those found in singer-songwriter groups, it might add a lot of color to their program.
Everyone else was also anticipating, even Zhang Haoran had a serious look.
Even those who hated Mu had to admit, Mu’s performances in singer-songwriter groups were absolutely divine.
However, to their surprise,
Mu chuckled and shook his head, “No, I’ll perform a magic trick for everyone.”
Not singing, but magic?
Lin Qingyue was surprised, “Teacher Mu knows how to do magic?”
She had never heard of this before. How did Mu become so multi-talented after the collapse?
Mu was very confident, “I’m pretty amazing at magic, maybe just second to playing games.”
“Does anyone have a coin?”
After getting a coin from a staff member, he walked up to Lin Qingyue holding the coin.
First, in front of everyone, he clenched the coin in his palm and then raised his fist, palm facing down, in front of Lin Qingyue.
“Director Lin, place your left fist below mine,” he instructed.
Curiously, Lin Qingyue did as he said.
Their fists were close together, and Mu didn’t change it immediately, but dragged the audience’s anticipation, “Watch closely, when I blow, the coin will transfer into Director Lin’s hand.”
Really? False?
Everyone craned their necks. Could an idol like Mu have such a skill?
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Mu blew, “Whoosh, done, the coin is now in Director Lin’s hand.”
Saying this, he was the first to open his palm, and indeed, no coin fell.
Lu Yao excitedly shouted, “Qingyue, quickly see if it’s in your palm!”
Lin Qingyue hurriedly opened her palm.
To everyone’s astonishment, there was no coin in Lin Qingyue’s hand.
Did the magic trick fail?
Everyone instinctively looked towards Mu.
Mu was very calm, “It’s already transferred, Director Lin, open your other hand and see.”
It transferred to the other palm?

Mu’s magic was that impressive?
Everyone was taken aback.
Lin Qingyue subconsciously raised her right palm and opened it.
But, there was still no coin on this palm, just a paper note.
While everyone was still puzzled, a hand swooshed by, grabbed the paper note, and then ran outside, “Thanks, Director Lin.”
Everyone watched Mu’s retreating figure in confusion, which turned into astonishment half a second later.
Mu… stole the paper note?
Was the magic trick just a cover?!
“You actually stole the paper note!?” Wang Xiaotian yelled angrily, immediately giving chase, “Give the note back!”
“Shameless!” Lu Yao’s voice was distorted with anger, also running behind.
“Absolutely disgraceful!” Zhang Haoran couldn’t even maintain his idol image, his face red with anger as he desperately chased.
Zhang Lifeng, the veteran, however, stayed behind.
Lin Qingyue watched the four people—one fleeing, three chasing—her feelings mixed between amusement and annoyance. She could never have imagined Mu would pull such a stunt to trick her out of the paper note.
Her original intent was to reject everyone once and then decide who would get the paper note through a little game.
The results were unexpected, Wu Mu completely disrupted her plans.
However, one must say, that particular scene just now was explosively effective.
Wu Mu really knew how to create a spectacle.
“Quick, follow them.”
She directed the camera crew to keep up with the shooting.
Wu Mu, who was ahead of everyone, had already opened the note and saw the address—Jiangning University South Gate Cafe.
He stopped a taxi by the road and got in with a cameraman.
“Master, to the Jiangning University South Gate Cafe, and make it quick… within the bounds of the law.”
The taxi driver glanced at the camera in the cameraman’s hand and the large group of cameramen not far away, his face lighting up with excitement, “Are you guys filming a show?”
“Yes, I’m currently playing a character who’s being chased by villains, so Master, could you take a detour later and shake off those people behind us?” Wu Mu saw that Wang Xiaotian and others had also found a car and warned the taxi driver.
“Leave it to me!”
…
Inside the Jiangning University South Gate Cafe.
This episode’s client, college student Jiang Qian, was eagerly facing the camera.
“I’m a bit nervous, not sure who will arrive first, it would be best if Haoran or Ah Yao could, but teacher Xiaotian is so cunning, I doubt that Haoran and the others can outsmart him.”
The on-site director had already received news from Lin Qingyue that Wu Mu had stolen the note and was on his way.
He guided, “It might not necessarily be Haoran or Ah Yao, we have a guest star this episode.”
“Ah, who is the guest star?”
“You’ll find out soon.”
The on-site director did not reveal the answer directly but continued to guide and ask, “Which idols in the industry do you like?”
Jiang Qian immediately answered, “Brother Haoran!”
“Besides Haoran?”
“Then, I also quite like Xiao Yi.”
“And besides Xiao Yi?”
“Sun Zhichun?”
The on-site director kept guiding Jiang Qian to mention five or six names, nearly covering all the popular figures, but Wu Mu’s name was not mentioned.
While he felt helpless, an idea struck him, “Who do you dislike the most in the industry?”
Jiang Qian answered even faster, “Wu Mu!”
There, the effect took off!
The on-site director nonchalantly signaled the cameramen to take close-up shots.
In the close-up shot, the young girl Jiang Qian looked disdainful and even hummed, clearly showing her dislike for Wu Mu.
The on-site director continued subtly, “Why do you dislike him, were you his fan before?”
“Who would be a fan of such scum, I have always only liked Haoran! The kind of star who’s kept as a mistress, who wouldn’t dislike that?” Jiang Qian seemed very displeased at being labeled a fan of Wu Mu.
On-site director: “But wasn’t the mistress scandal clarified? It seems he was a victim too.”
Jiang Qian clearly did not believe it, “That’s just marketing by his agency behind the scenes. If he wasn’t a mistress, after being with that woman for so long, how could he not know she had a husband? It’s totally fake.”
That was the predicament Wu Mu faced.
Rumors are easy to start but hard to dispel.
The initial rumor of his scandal spread too widely, capturing attention because it was sensational, so many people who usually didn’t follow the entertainment industry knew about it, and it was a complete breakout from the norm.
Even after he cleared things up, the reach was only to part of the initial audience.
Even among them, many did not look into the details and judged based on their initial impressions that he was lying to whitewash himself.
Furthermore, with a lot of anti-fans and competitors’ slanderous stories, the general public’s prevailing impression of him remained as a scandalous idol, a blemished artist.
