Chapter 742 Did we know each other before?
At that moment, Lin Tan paused.
Even though they were several meters apart, she subconsciously moved back a little bit.
Compared to the teenagers who had just taken photos, she was more afraid of Huo Sinian, afraid that he would confine her to his house like before, afraid that he would break her legs and lock her in the basement of the villa.
After all, he said these things himself.
Even though she said last time we met that we would be strangers from now on, this attitude... doesn't seem like she's treating us like strangers at all.
"Are you stupid?" Huo Sinian's eyes behind his glasses were narrow, his voice low and gentle. "Aren't you going to come and ask?"
Lin Tan wanted to ask what was wrong with her.
After observing the current situation, he ultimately didn't say much, but instead focused his attention on the two men and two women from before.
They look very young.
Seventeen or eighteen years old.
He was wearing a simple T-shirt and pants.
At such a vibrant age, they are engaging in illegal activities such as secretly filming.
"Do you want me to ask for you?" Huo Sinian saw that she was still standing there without moving, so he walked towards her. With each step he took, Lin Tan's heart tightened, and when he got to her, his whole body was very tense.
Huo Sinian took in her reaction: "If you don't ask again, I'll let her go."
Lin Tan suddenly looked up.
Before she could speak.
Huo Sinian stepped aside to make way for her: "Go ahead."
Lin Tan didn't know what he was planning, but since things had come to this point, she could only take it one step at a time. If there was any real emergency or danger, she would have no choice but to call Jiang Ruan for help.
She always acts aloof and arrogant, but she's still relying on men.
"that is!"
"This must be your sugar daddy."
"I advise you to release me right now, or my dad will come and shoot you with a gun!"
The four of them each said something, and they were all extremely arrogant.
Lin Tan didn't say a word. She walked up to the boy and took his camera. The moment her hand touched the boy, he started struggling and growling, "What are you doing! If you dare touch my camera, I'll expose your address tomorrow!"
“Exposing other people’s privacy is illegal.” Lin Tan had already adjusted her mindset and calmly took out the camera to look through what they had taken. “You should think about how you’re going to explain the secret filming to the police when they come later.”
"You called the police?!" The other three people's pupils contracted.
Lin Tan didn't answer, her gaze fixed on the camera the entire time. The camera contained a full video of Lin Jiancheng searching for her, along with a few photos taken during the recording, and other than that…
Just as I was about to say there was nothing else, my gaze suddenly fell on the content displayed on the screen.
She immediately zoomed in on the photos and discovered that the camera contained not only the ones she had just taken, but also pictures of Lin Jiancheng at the airport from different angles.
He looks pitiful in the picture, like a helpless and bewildered old man.
She continued flipping through the pages.
Taking a taxi.
Walking.
All of them are available.
Just when she thought these people were following Lin Jiancheng, she saw a photo of their home.
Those who cook, those who pick fruit, and those who clean.
It has everything.
There were even video interviews.
She opened one of the videos, and her mother's voice came through: "Since you are Lin Tan's friends, could you please persuade her to stop lying and deceiving people?"
"A lie?" came a male voice from inside.
"Don't you know about her educational background?" Lin's mother asked.
“I know,” the girl’s voice came through. “Buying a degree is normal. She’s a celebrity. If she becomes famous and people find out that she has a low level of education, she’ll easily get attacked by fans of rival groups.”
The boy chimed in, "Yes!"
“But you can’t forge your academic credentials just because you’re afraid of being scolded,” Lin’s mother’s voice came from inside. “That’s unfair to those who worked so hard to take the college entrance exam.”
“We don’t expect her to become a big star, we just want her to be safe and sound,” Lin’s father said in the video. “I don’t know how she’s doing now, we called her a couple of days ago but no one answered…”
The conversation inside continued, but Lin Tan didn't have the courage to listen any longer.
She didn't understand why her parents would help outsiders spread rumors about her and even cooperate with them in their act.
In their eyes, was her daughter so repulsive?
She took a deep breath, suppressed her turbulent emotions, and then snatched the phone from the boy's hand.
Since it was a group operation, there couldn't possibly be only one copy of the video and photos.
Everyone definitely has it on their phone.
Moreover, the flash and clicking sound from the photo were clearly from a mobile phone.
"What's the password?" Lin Tan asked coldly.
Boys, turn your faces away.
He had an arrogant air about him.
Huo Sinian, who was standing to the side, gave the bodyguard a wink, and the bodyguard immediately twisted the boy's hand behind his back.
The intense pain made the boy scream out, "Ah!"
"Brother Sheng!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Either tell the truth, or I'll have them loosen your muscles." Huo Sinian walked over with light steps, his casual tone carrying a hint of danger.
The moment our eyes met.
Several young boys and girls shivered.
"Was it spontaneous or were you instructed to do it?" Huo Sinian's voice was gentle, and he had a refined appearance. "Besides these, what other plans do you have? Tell us everything and I'll let you go."
"I don't understand what you're saying," the boy retorted, his face contorted in pain.
The others looked worried, but said nothing.
Seeing how persistent they were.
Huo Sinian didn't say anything, glanced at the bodyguard, and then turned around.
The next moment.
Four bodyguards took the four teenagers away.
“You…” Lin Tan tried to speak.
"If you want to know, don't be soft-hearted." Huo Sinian looked at the boys who had been forcibly taken away. "If we don't punish them severely the first time, they will only go further next time. Exposing your address is a minor matter."
Lin Tan frowned slightly.
She looked at him, puzzled.
This is very unlike Huo Si Nian.
He'd love for her to be so badly criticized that she'd quit the internet and stay obediently by his side, so why would he be so kind as to help her?
"What kind of look is that?" Huo Sinian raised an eyebrow.
Lin Tan: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"A hero rescuing a damsel in distress? A helpful person?" Huo Sinian spoke casually, appearing quite indifferent. "Which word do you think is more accurate?"
Lin Tan remained wary of him. "Is this interesting?"
Huo Sinian: "What?"
Lin Tan: "I know you very well. Why would you be so kind?"
They used to find ways to prevent her from working, suppressing her roles and her popularity.
Are you now happy to help others?
Should we help her lose her job?
"Such strong hostility, do we know each other before?" Huo Sinian seemed to be perfectly repeating what he had told her during their last meeting.
Lin Tan tightened her grip.
Her red lips were pressed tightly together.
He can act if he wants; she'll see how long he can keep his wolf's tail hidden.
"I don't know him," she said calmly.
"Do you want to talk to your father?" Huo Sinian looked at Lin Jiancheng, who was trying to slip away but was caught by his men, but spoke to Lin Tan. "He seems to be in a hurry and wants to leave."
Lin Tanxin was startled.
All her attention was just focused on the person who was secretly taking pictures of her and Huo Sinian.
They've almost forgotten about the good father who acted with them.
