44: The chickens are gone, but the coop is still there. We built it very firmly.

Just as Lao Ba was thinking this, the bullet comments in the live stream started urging him to go into the mall.

"Lao Ba, don't just stand there dumbfounded. Duck Egg Superman's car is here, so she must be shopping. Go look for her quickly. I haven't seen what she looks like in person yet."

"That's right, my Bai Mian Mantou should be there too."

"What do you mean 'your' Bai Mian Mantou? Have you no shame? She's clearly mine."

After Lao Ba reacted, he saw the number of viewers in the live stream continuously rising.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Okay brothers, no problem, I'll go look now.

To be honest, I haven't seen her in real life either.

Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious.

Let's go, we'll go see."

With that, he took his assistant and left the underground parking lot.

They took the elevator into the mall, and looking at the massive shopping center, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Brothers, it's so big, how long will it take to find her?"

"Is this one of the top luxury shopping malls in Shanghai? I wonder what the restrooms look like.

Are the toilets all gold-rimmed?"

"Can't find the restroom? I'll teach you a trick: find the place that smells the best, and that's where the restroom is."

"Ah? There's such a saying?"

"Of course! This is such a luxurious mall; if the restrooms smelled bad, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot? So the restrooms are guaranteed to smell good."

"Lao Ba, you can try your luck at the bag stores, or the clothing and shoe stores.

Duck Egg Superman and her friends should be in those kinds of places."

A word enlightened him like a dream.

Lao Ba looked at this bullet comment and felt it made a lot of sense.

He headed straight for the target location.

Although he didn't come here often, he had been here more than once, so he was relatively familiar with it.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Wang Yuxin and her companions appeared in his line of sight.

"Brothers, I think I found her.

The one inside the Gucci store should be her, right?

I have to say, looking from afar, she looks even better than in the videos."

"That's right, she is Duck Egg Superman, and the one next to her wearing a white pleated skirt is my Bai Mian Mantou.

Hehe, she's so pretty."

"Alright, now I understand why you sycophants call her Bai Mian Mantou.

So there's a reference point, huh?"

"Damn it, what are you talking about? Don't think of us as so shallow, okay?"

"Exactly! Don't sycophants deserve true love too?"

"Lao Ba, what are you looking at from so far away? Get closer quickly."

Lao Ba was a bit helpless.

He looked up at the two burly men in suits next to Wang Yuxin.

It was obvious at a glance that they were her Bodyguards.

It wouldn't be good if he went over and caused a misunderstanding.

"Brothers, let's just leave it.

It's fine to just look from afar.

Didn't you see the two Bodyguards next to her?

With their build, I don't even know if I could withstand two punches from them."

However, what he didn't know was that Wang Yuxin's Bodyguards had already noticed him.

One of the Bodyguards suddenly leaned close to his companion's ear and whispered, "There's a sneaky guy outside.

Go see who he is."

Hearing this, the Bodyguard nodded, handed his things to his companion, and turned to leave.

Lao Ba was still talking to the people in the live stream when he suddenly saw a bullet comment.

"Oh-ho! Lao Ba, you're doomed.

You were caught peeking by Duck Egg Superman's Bodyguard.

Why aren't you running?"

Lao Ba was startled and turned to look.

Sure enough, he saw a burly man in a suit walking towards him, his face devoid of emotion, his eyes full of pressure, looking at him as if he were prey.

He instinctively took off running.

When he ran, his assistant dared not stay either and followed behind him.

Seeing this, the Bodyguard narrowed his eyes, thinking, "There is indeed a problem."

If there was no problem, why would he run when he saw him?

It meant he had a guilty conscience.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and chased after him.

Lao Ba looked back, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Brothers, you've gotten me into deep trouble.

He's chasing me."

However, his assistant, holding a bag, suddenly asked in confusion, "No, boss, we're just live streaming.

Why are we running?

Wouldn't that make us look guilty?"

Lao Ba heard this and finally realized.

"That's right, I'm just live streaming normally.

Why am I running?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't run, but running made it seem like there was a problem even if there wasn't.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop.

When the Bodyguard approached, he couldn't help but force a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Big brother, if I say this is a misunderstanding, do you believe me?"

The Bodyguard heard this, stared at him with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Misunderstanding? Then why did you run?"

Lao Ba was speechless with bitterness, secretly complaining in his heart, "You walked towards me with eyes that looked at me like prey.

Any normal person would run, okay?"

"Big brother, it's really a misunderstanding.

I'm live streaming.

If you don't believe me, look."

Saying that, he handed over his phone.

The Bodyguard glanced at him, took the phone, and looked.

Seeing the bullet comments in the live stream, the other party was indeed live streaming just now.

Seeing this, he returned the phone to the other party and said irritably, "Live streaming isn't illegal.

Why were you being sneaky?

As soon as I came out, you ran.

If I don't chase you, who will I chase?

Since it's a misunderstanding, then it's fine.

Be careful next time."

Lao Ba heard this, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded, "Okay, there won't be a next time."

After the Bodyguard left, he finally let out a long breath.

The other party was definitely the most top-tier Bodyguard he had ever seen.

That sense of oppression was truly not fake.

"Brothers, this time you really got me into trouble."

As soon as these words came out, the fans in the live stream immediately became unhappy.

"Holy cow, brothers, Lao Ba wants to turn the tables."

"Exactly! If you had listened to us and gone into the Gucci store, none of this would have happened.

Now you're blaming us.

But it's okay, I already recorded the screen, and we'll help you promote it then."

"We even thought of the title for you.

It'll be 'Paparazzo Lao Ba Caught Red-Handed by Duck Egg Superman's Bodyguard While Sneakily Filming', and the subtitle will be 'Run, Lao Ba!'

No need to thank us, this is what we fans should do."

"That's right, that's how I used to blacken my idol back then.

No, this is to create buzz for my idol.

Otherwise, how could the chicken be gone but the chicken coop still remain?

Because we built that chicken coop, and it's very sturdy."

Lao Ba was speechless for a moment.

Finally, he sighed, "Alright, we've seen the luxury cars and supercars now.

I'll take you to see Plaza 66, and then tonight I'll take you to see the night view of the Bund."

Meanwhile, Wang Yuxin and the others, who were shopping, naturally didn't notice what was happening here.
