HOUSE DAD'S LITERARY LIFE

Chapter 394: The Lone Paparazzi Hunter



Chapter 394: The Lone Paparazzi Hunter

In this world, due to comprehensive copyright protection, the entertainment industry was flourishing like never before. To satisfy the public’s curiosity about celebrity privacy, the development of paparazzi was also not to be underestimated. However, among the legitimate paparazzi, there was a group of people who lingered on the edge of the law.

They did not follow celebrities or stars for the purpose of sensational news; instead, they did it for profit. The photos they took were first offered to the subjects. If the subjects were unwilling to pay to buy them back, the photos would be sold to tabloid newspapers, making a substantial amount of money. Sometimes, even the paparazzi themselves looked down on them, so they gave themselves a new name.

“Paparazzi Hunters!”

Lu Yue was a paparazzi hunter! Like other paparazzi hunters, he worked alone, a one-man army, wandering around the country, just to capture the most valuable scoops and then cashing in on them!

Ten years ago, Lu Yue did not even know what a paparazzi hunter was. He was just a diligent salesman, going door to door to promote his company’s products—kitchen knives!

Until one day, after completing a round of visits in a building and preparing to leave wearily, a paparazzi hunter approached him and handed him a camera, asking for his help. Under the guise of promotion, he wanted Lu Yue to secretly take photos of a celebrity living in that building without makeup.

Lu Yue still had a sharp mind. He completed the task exceptionally well, not only earning a reward but also learning about the industry and the tactics of paparazzi hunters from the proud boasting of that paparazzi hunter afterward.

Lu Yue was tempted, so he quit his job, converted all his savings into a high-resolution camera, and entered the industry without any qualifications.

In his first year, Lu Yue almost achieved nothing, but after enduring the difficult period and becoming familiar with the entertainment industry, Lu Yue quickly earned his first pot of gold with his agile mind, and then he couldn’t stop!

Now, Lu Yue, although still working alone, had already upgraded his equipment. He was not only equipped with high-end gear but also owned a car, rented an apartment, and even had his name listed with major talent agencies.

Who didn’t know that Lü Yue, this paparazzi hunter, had a great reputation? He never sold the same scoop to two parties, and talent agencies could say they both hated and loved him!

Recently, Lu Yue came to Jiangcheng and has set his sights on Mo Fei, who has gained fame this year.

Like other paparazzi, Lu Yue initially encountered the difficulty of Mo Fei using the Ring Expressway to get rid of them. However, Lu Yue did not stick around Tianmei Company’s building. He had his own ways.

With the help of his relationship with the Housing Management Bureau, Lu Yue had someone find out about a house Mo Fei had purchased in the Binhai District and began to wait there. Not only did he infiltrate into Mo Fei’s community, but he also drove his van inside. He kept his equipment running and stayed in the van, waiting for Mo Fei to appear.

But what puzzled him was that Mo Fei did not appear for a long time, even though he had seen news about her returning to Jiangcheng. Could she be staying somewhere else?

During the Spring Festival, for several days, Lu Yue also kept waiting patiently, but he still did not see Mo Fei. In the long wait, Lu Yue began to doubt whether the information he had received was incorrect because Mo Fei’s car would take the Ring Expressway, so it was possible that she didn’t live here!

But his friend at the Housing Management Bureau helped him check, and Mo Fei indeed only had this one property!

Perseverance was the most valuable spirit for paparazzi, and Lu Yue was no different. His ten years of experience told him that persistence was the key to success. He decided to wait a few more days and wait until the end of this month before making any decisions!

He had a premonition that Mo Fei would definitely appear here!

Sure enough, this day finally came!

That Monday, while Lu Yue was munching on noodles in his car, a large pickup truck drove up. At first, Lu Yue did not pay attention, but he glanced habitually and saw the figure he had been “dreaming of” getting out of the front passenger seat!

Mo Fei?

Mo Fei!

Lu Yue hurriedly put down the bowl, not bothering to wipe his mouth, and picked up the binoculars.

It was indeed Mo Fei.

What surprised Lu Yue was that Mo Fei also picked up a little girl from the back seat! Lu Yue could clearly see through the binoculars that both Mo Fei and the little girl were smiling, which was quite different from her usual cold image!

Who was that little girl? A big question mark popped up on Lu Yue’s forehead.

No matter who it was or what their relationship was! Coming to his senses, Lu Yue quickly picked up his camera and snapped a few photos.

Mo Fei took the little girl’s hand, and they went upstairs, but with his rich experience, Lu Yue did not act recklessly and stayed in the car.

If he remembered correctly, Mo Fei had just gotten out of the front passenger seat, so there was still someone in the driver’s seat. Was it her assistant and agent, Mu Xiaojuan?

If the driver had not gotten out of the car, then they should still be planning to leave!

With this discovery of the little girl, Lu Yue felt that his month-long surveillance was worth it. The remaining task was to continue tracking, digging deeper, and uncovering the true relationship between Mo Fei and the little girl!

Although the large pickup truck was very conspicuous and Lu Yue could recognize it wherever it was, he wrote down the truck’s license plate number just to be safe.

……

Mo Fei returned to her house to get her household registration book!

She did grow up in the U.S., but her nationality was still Chinese. Her father had previously held a U.S. green card and later bought a farm, becoming a U.S. farmer before formally completing immigration procedures. However, the old man still had a strong patriotic heart, so he registered Mo Fei’s nationality as Chinese, with their hometown being the island of Taiwan.

Later, due to work needs and the fact that Mo Fei had bought a house in Jiangcheng, she moved her household registration to Jiangcheng.

Xixi’s nationality was also Chinese. Although Xixi was born in the U.S., Mo Fei had given up her U.S. nationality, and the little girl’s household registration was also under her mother’s name. But at that time, Mo Fei was not very famous, so this major scoop was never unearthed.

Now the role of the ID card has been greatly upgraded, and the household registration book is almost useless, so Mo Fei did not give anyone a chance to discover her relationship with Xixi.

Today, she was going to get her marriage certificate with Yang Yi, so she went back to her old house to retrieve the household registration book.

After a while, Mo Fei came down from upstairs and got directly into the back seat. While fastening Xixi’s child safety seat, she nodded to Yang Yi and smiled shyly and said, “I got it, but I haven’t lived here for a long time. The smell in the house is so strong!”

Mo Fei was in a very good mood, but when she thought about being officially married to Yang Yi today, she couldn’t help feeling a little shy.

“Isn’t this exactly what you’ve been looking forward to?” Mo Fei was as happy as a young girl, while secretly feeling embarrassed by her smile, wondering if she was being too obvious.

Yang Yi actually had mixed feelings. Although he appeared calm, he was actually somewhat nervous and hopeful. What would it be like to be officially married?

Due to these emotions, Yang Yi seemed a bit careless today.

It wasn’t until he was driving on the road, having passed a few traffic lights, that he slowly realized something was off.

“Mo Fei, it seems like a car has been following us!” Yang Yi frowned, glancing at a van in the rearview mirror and said.
