The next evening, right around the time the gala was about to begin, Fade Chen, Quin Lin, and Lily Wei arrived together.

In front of the hotel, the bustling crowd was very lively. Many entrepreneurs in the cosmetic industry in Long City had arrived, and almost all the relevant associations and management personnel had already arrived at the gala as well.

Everyone was chatting happily about matters related to the industry. Of course, the most discussed topic was the results of the appraisal, as well as the allotment for the exhibition after the appraisal. Quin and Lily were talking and laughing with the crowd, while Fade stood at the side alone. He decided to take out his mobile phone and started playing a game. No one came to talk to him anyway. While Fade was enjoying his mobile game, a hand suddenly tapped on his shoulder and said in pleasant surprise, "I've been looking for you for so long. Turns out you're here?"

Fade heard the voice and instinctively grabbed the hand. He turned around and

pulled it hard, ready to fight back.

But as soon as he exerted some force, the person uttered a cry of pain. It was then that he saw clearly that the person was the female reporter, Lydia Zu.

Fade quickly loosened his grip and said apologetically, "Reporter Zu, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you."

Lydia grimaced as she rubbed her fair and tender right hand. She glared at him and said, "Are all martial artists so vigilant?"

He smiled embarrassingly and said, "It's a mistake! Why don't I check your hand and see?"

With this, Fade stretched out his hand and was going to pull Lydia's hand.

When Lydia saw this, she looked at Fade with vigilance and said, "Are you going to take advantage of me again?"

Fade was rendered speechless. "What do you mean by 'again'? I have never taken advantage of you before, okay? Besides, I'm a Chinese Medicine practitioner and I sincerely want to treat your hand." "You're also a Chinese Medicine practitioner? Really?" Lydia looked at him in surprise.

Fade spread out his hands and said, "I'm serious. Do you believe me?"

Lydia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and handed her hand to Fade, saying, "I believe you. Thank you for the help."

Fade held her hand and gently squeezed it a few times, then quickly rubbed her wrist. Next, he massaged along her arm for a while.

After doing all that, he let go of her hand and said, "All done!"

Seeing this, Lydia was surprised and said, "That's it? You just touched it a few times. Isn't this taking advantage of me?"

"Reporter Zu, feel it yourself? Does my treatment have any effect?" Fade said.

Lydia came to her senses and touched her right hand. She moved it for a while and said in surprise, "It feels much better and it doesn't hurt anymore. So you really are a Chinese Medicine practitioner!" "I've told you! But you didn't believe me," Fade shrugged helplessly.

Lydia smiled apologetically and said, "Well, my bad. I've wrongly accused you."

Then, Lydia leaned in towards Fade with a smile, her shapely body almost touching his.

His wife and Sister Lily were not too far away. When Fade saw what she was doing, he was shocked. He looked at Lydia and said, "What are you doing? Are you taking advantage of me? I'm not a playboy." Seeing Fade's vigilance, Lydia glared at him and said quietly, "What nonsense are you thinking? I don't have any feelings for you. I just have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Fade asked.

Lydia lowered her voice and said, "You are the manager of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."

"Sort of!" Fade hesitated for a moment and said. Although it was written on his business card, he had hardly ever gone to the office!

"If that's the case, can you enter the venue when the gala starts?" She pursued.

Fade nodded and said, "Well, yes of course!"

Lydia's face lit up and said, "Then, can you bring me in?"

"Bring you in? What are you going to do?" Fade asked.

Lydia looked around and thought for a moment. Then she pulled him closer, and whispered, 'Tm going to secretly photograph some people and things."

"Secretly photograph!" Fade was slightly surprised and then asked quietly, "Does this have anything to do with the bribery and counterfeits that you have mentioned before?" Lydia nodded and said, "Yes! They may do it again during this event. I want to go in and see if I can find something important."

Fade pondered for a moment, then looked at Lydia and asked, "Aren't you afraid of danger?"

After all, not long ago she was being assaulted by the gangsters hired by the involved parties. Now, she wanted to secretly take photos. If she was caught, she may be in danger. Hearing this, Lydia's face fell slightly, but then she said seriously, "Since I have chosen to be in this line of work, I am mentally prepared for these things since the beginning. Moreover, there are so many people at the gala, and the lighting is quite dim. They may not discover me."

When Fade saw her earnest look, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can bring you in."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Lydia was overjoyed. She threw herself on Fade and gave him a warm hug.

Feeling the girl's tender and soft body, He couldn't help feeling a little spark inside him. He coughed and broke free. Then he looked at her and said, "But I don't think you can go in like this..."

I know. I need to disguise myself. Don't worry, I'm a professional and I have prepared for it," she said with a smile. Then she took out a wig from her leather bag and put on a pair of black- framed glasses. Her image changed in an instant.

Fade shook his head at the sight and said, "That won't do. You might have worn some accessories, but your face is still the same. They've sent people to deal with you, so they must be familiar with how you look. This way, you'll be easily recognized."

"I know, but how can I change my face? I can't have plastic surgery now, can I?" Lydia said helplessly.

Fade smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need for plastic surgery. I have a way to help you change your face!"

"You have a way to change my face? But how?" Lydia asked in surprise.

Fade looked around and said, "It's not convenient here. Let's find another place. I'll help you."

Lydia looked around, then pointed to a washroom not far away and said, "Let's go to the washroom!"

With this, Lydia dragged him to the washroom and was about to step in.

Fade suddenly felt conflicted. "Reporter Zu, this is the female's washroom. How can I go in?"

Lydia stuck her head into the washroom and looked around. Then she said, "Don't worry. No one is inside. After we go in, we can hide in the cubicle. No one will notice us."
