"Impossible, just phone contact, so how did you receive the money? There should at least be a transfer account, right? I can't believe you paparazzi can't even find out this minor detail."
Brother Gou's face showed helplessness, "What I said is true, the money was sent through express mail, and it was labeled as books. I also thought they were books, but to my surprise, when I opened it, it was all money."
Ling Zhenfei felt frustrated, having exerted so much effort and still, not a single clue was found. This was utterly disappointing.
"But where was this express mail sent from? You should know that, right?"
Brother Gou nodded, "I checked, it was sent from Capital City."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was startled. If it was sent from Capital City, then this person could very likely be someone from there. But did he have any rivals in Capital City? He couldn't recall any enemies there.
Ling Zhenfei found it very strange, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand it. In the end, he had to temporarily put this matter aside.
"The things you just told me are utterly useless; I'm really very disappointed."
Brother Gou was terrified upon hearing this, "Big brother, I really only know this much. I swear I will never photograph Ling Zhenfei's affairs again, really."
Ling Zhenfei shook his head and then said, "Since you are the Top Paparazzi, why don't you tell me what you've discovered recently? I'm all ears. If I hear some valuable news that satisfies me, that'll be fine."
Brother Gou glanced around at the people nearby. The best situation was with Ah Shan, who had been standing far off; he hadn't been caught in the small elixir pill mishap.
There were also two women on the bed, who at that moment were filled with fear. Facing such a scene, anyone would be filled with great fear.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you about the recent events. I'm not sure what you're interested in, hopefully, some amusing stories for you, big brother."
"Stop blabbering and start talking," Ling Zhenfei said impatiently, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Recently, there's news that the big star Zhang Wenyuan cheated with the young model Zheng Xiaotong. However, our investigators haven't captured anything specific yet, but the fact of the cheating seems undeniable."
After speaking, Brother Gou looked at Ling Zhenfei, but saw no expression on his face.
"The female star Chu Bingqing will be attending the film festival in a few days, and there's news that she's going to be this year's Best Actress."
"After Xu Yuyu had her baby, no photos of the baby's face have been leaked, but after relentless effort by our investigators, we finally got a front-facing photo of the child, and it looks nothing like her husband."
Ling Zhenfei was somewhat angered, "Have you no shame at all, even going after someone's child, you will face retribution."
Startled, Brother Gou hurriedly said, "We won't release this news then, and we won't publish any news about children in the future either."
"And stop recklessly making comments that could destroy people's families."
Ling Zhenfei was sweating coldly, thinking about Xu Yuyu who always said everything was fine. Now just one photo from the paparazzi and they dare say the child doesn't look like her husband—couldn't her husband see that?
Brother Gou then continued, "The company of the actress Ji Mei is facing a major issue and is at risk of shutting down. She is actively seeking methods to save it."
Ling Zhenfei was startled again; he just had dinner with Ji Mei not long ago and they had talked about her company. She even wanted Ling Zhenfei to sell his elixirs at their store.
It's a shame her company is about to go under; he felt Ji Mei was a decent person.
Despite all the news shared, Ling Zhenfei did not seem very satisfied. At that moment, Brother Gou thought for a while and said, "Bro, I still have a very important piece of news."
"If you have important news, then spit it out quickly," Ling Zhenfei said, noticing Brother Gou's serious demeanor.
Boss Gou looked around and said, "This matter is too significant, I can only discuss it with you alone."
After finishing his statement, Brother Gou leaned closer to Ling Zhenfei and whispered in his ear, "Wu Yingxiong's team will attack old Maozi's armored brigade in three days."
"What!"
Ling Zhenfei exclaimed upon hearing this. He had been eager to learn about this matter but hadn't known the specific timing; now, however, it was different—the Top Paparazzi had actually revealed the exact timing.
"Is this information accurate?"
"Very accurate, it's confirmed, and I'm about to start hyping it up online," Brother Gou said with certainty.
"Good, this is indeed valuable information, not bad at all."
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei was satisfied, Brother Gou also smiled, "Big brother, since that's the case, should we be given the antidote now?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and then took out a small bottle from his pocket, pouring out one elixir and placing it in Brother Gou's hand.
"Find a large bowl, fill it with water, and put this elixir into the water. After the elixir dissolves, just drink the entire bowl of water."
"After drinking it, will the worms inside our bodies be gone?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "Of course not, it's a one-time antidote."
"What does a one-time antidote mean?" Brother Gou and the others all looked at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "This antidote will only last for three months, meaning you won't suffer as you have been for the next three months, and you won't die after a hundred days, but you will need to continue taking the antidote."
"What do you mean, isn't this trapping us? So we have to take the antidote every three months, or we'll die if we don't."
"Exactly, the antidote you just took only eases your daily suffering and successfully delayed the effects of the Tianming Hundred Days Powder by three months."
"So, you won't suffer for the next three months, but after that, you will continue to suffer daily just as you were before, and die after suffering for three more months."
"You swindler, we don't have much of a grudge against you, why would you do this, give us the antidote."
"We want the antidote, or we'll call the police."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Call the police? Sure, go ahead and see what the police can find inside your bodies."
Everyone was left speechless, but then Brother Gou asked, "Then what do I have to do for you to give me the real antidote?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I can give you the antidote, but I don't trust you. Who knows what unpleasant things you might say online after I give it to you."
"I wouldn't dare, really, I won't post anything about Ling Zhenfei online ever again," Brother Gou assured Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "You sound sincere, but I still can't trust you. Let's see how it goes. In three months, I'll mail you the next dose of the antidote, and in a year, I'll give you the real antidote."
Everyone listened, their spirits dampened, knowing they would be under Ling Zhenfei's control for a year. The feeling was horrible, but there was nothing they could do.
"Is Jiang Hui's video data really gone?" Ling Zhenfei asked Brother Gou.
