Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 72

But as soon as she reached the VIP corridor of the hotel, she was stopped by a security door that required an access card.

She also noticed two security guards pacing near the elevator.

One of the guards swept his sharp gaze in her direction, making Ye Yanshuang freeze and duck behind a wall in panic. She covered her mouth in shock:
What the hell? Security guards? Where is Yan Zhirou going?!

The top floor of this luxury hotel was reserved exclusively for VIPs, offering premium services that only the wealthy could afford. Without enough power or connections, there was no way an average person could even book a room up there.

Ye Yanshuang's eyes narrowed in confusion.
Who exactly is Yan Zhirou meeting?

Unfortunately, with all the security measures—card access and patrolling guards—there was no way she could sneak in.

She quickly pulled out her phone and messaged Yu Qianxia everything she'd seen, along with the photos she took.

Back at the beach villa, Yu Qianxia opened the photos Ye Yanshuang sent her.

In one of them, Yan Zhirou was following a suited man out of the room. Ye Yanshuang suspected he might be an assistant of some kind. Apparently, he had escorted Yan Zhirou out.

Another photo showed the VIP corridor—clearly off-limits, with an access panel by the elevator and two bodyguards standing watch.

The place was on full lockdown. Not even a fly could buzz through unnoticed.

Yu Qianxia frowned slightly and asked the system,
[Who did Yan Zhirou go to meet?]

The system gave a wry chuckle.
[Come on, Host. You know how it is. Any gossip related to Yan Zhirou is always whitewashed by the Fortune-Stealing System. Whatever "dirt" gets out is all fake.]

Yu Qianxia replied calmly,
[It's fine. I just need a lead.]

[Alright, give me a sec.]

After a moment, the system responded:
[According to what I could dig up, Yan Zhirou is currently enjoying a spa soak and massage in the presidential suite. She was invited by the hotel's client relations manager as part of an anniversary celebration. Apparently, she won some kind of lucky draw. The man in the suit was the manager.]

The system let out a long sigh.
[Figures. With the Fortune-Stealing System covering her tracks, it's impossible to get any real dirt on her.]

Yu Qianxia wasn't surprised by the explanation. Based on past experience, the truth always turned out to be the complete opposite of what it seemed.
Yan Zhirou spending the night in a presidential suite "for a massage and spa"? Yeah, right.

She quickly messaged Ye Yanshuang again:
[Yanshuang, check who else is booked in the presidential suite tonight.]

Ye Yanshuang replied almost instantly:
[Got it, Sister Qianxia!]

Ye Yanshuang wasted no time and headed straight to the front desk—but of course, she couldn't just ask directly.

She feigned confusion, claiming she'd gotten lost and accidentally wandered up to the top floor, where she supposedly lost a diamond necklace.

Escorted by hotel staff, she "returned" to the top floor.

She pointed vaguely down the hallway.
"I think I lost it around here... Could you help me look?"

The staff didn't dare slack off and immediately began scanning the floor.

Of course, there was no necklace—and never would be.

Ye Yanshuang seized the chance to ask,
"Why is this floor so heavily guarded tonight? Some VIP here or something?"

The staff member apologized politely.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to disclose that."

Ye Yanshuang clicked her tongue and muttered,
"So mysterious..."

Then she pressed again,
"My necklace might've gotten flung past the security gate. Can we check inside?"

The staff hesitated, then shook his head with a tight smile.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Ye, but this floor has been fully reserved tonight. No one is allowed in. If your necklace really did end up inside, you'll have to wait until tomorrow after the area's been cleared."

Next, no matter what excuse Ye Yanshuang tried—whether she said the necklace was really important to her or that it was super valuable—the answer was still: she couldn't go in.

She was pissed!

Who the hell was this big shot?

Why all the secrecy?

Ye Yanshuang left empty-handed. If it weren't for those two bodyguards, she definitely would've found a way to sneak in.

So now what?

How was she supposed to find out who was in the presidential suite?

Ye Yanshuang was so anxious she started pacing in place.

Just then, a group of people hurried over from the end of the hallway—it was the hotel's guest room manager and a bunch of staff. "Move it! No mistakes tonight, go get the wine the guest asked for!"

Ye Yanshuang had a gut feeling they were talking about the guest in the presidential suite. She had sharp eyes and spotted a list in the client manager's hand.

Her eyes lit up all of a sudden. She had an idea. As she passed by the group, she acted like she accidentally tripped on her high heels and fell straight into them, out of control.

"Ah!" someone cried out.

Ye Yanshuang grabbed the client manager's arm, her eyes darting to the list in his hand.

In a flash, she caught a scribbled, handwritten signature.

Ye Yanshuang never faked anything in her acting—this fall was for real. The manager quickly tried to steady her, but still got knocked by the impact. Everyone stumbled around, and the scene was a little chaotic.

"Miss, are you okay?" the client manager got up and asked anxiously.

Ye Yanshuang had already seen what she needed. She shook her head. "I'm fine. You guys get back to work."

Once they were sure she was okay, the group quickly rushed off again.

Ye Yanshuang immediately took out her phone and messaged Yu Qianxia with her big discovery.

Ye Yanshuang: [Sister Yu! I didn't find out who's in the presidential suite, but I saw the drink order list!]

[But the only thing on it was a scribbled signature, just one character: Ming.]

[Hope that gives you something useful!]

After reading the message, Yu Qianxia's expression turned sharp. Ming?

A name popped into her head.

She'd always suspected there was someone inside Xingmang Entertainment backing Yan Zhirou. There was no way she could've cleared her name and turned things around this dramatically without someone powerful pulling strings.

So the only person with both the ability and the background to help her had to be from Chu Group, which was behind Xingmang Entertainment.
