However, this matter, when spoken of, was truly a misunderstanding by everyone.
The cause of this incident was not the fans, but a thief.
Zhao Jun, as a thief who had just been released from prison, was preparing to start anew and make his 'career' bigger and stronger again.
After a long period of staking out, Zhao Jun set his sights on the fan groups near the Film and Television Base.
The foot traffic here was dense, and everyone's attention tended to be on the celebrities entering and exiting, causing them to relax their vigilance about their surroundings. Moreover, most of the fans who could track celebrities here were relatively wealthy and usually carried many electronic devices, such as spare phones, cameras, tablets, earphones, and so on. Zhao Jun basically knew what he was looking for at a glance, and then he would snatch them with precision.
Additionally, with the recent surge of fans at the Film and Television Base, Zhao Jun seized the opportunity to make a fortune, like a fish in water.
However, due to Zhao Jun's arrogant behavior, many plainclothes Police Officers had recently been staking out the Film and Television Base. Fans coming to the Film and Television Base had also caught wind of this, and each of them carefully secured their bags and valuables, wary of strangers approaching.
But who was Zhao Jun? Would he be stumped by such ridiculous tricks?
Of course not, it was just a matter of a blade.
So, when Zhao Jun easily obtained another phone, his peripheral vision swept over the plainclothes Police Officers disguised as ordinary people in the crowd, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Nickname, what a clumsy disguise~
Zhao Jun thought mockingly.
Back then, Zhao Jun successfully committed crimes even while being watched by more than ten Police Officers. To provoke the police, Zhao Jun even managed to steal one of the Police Officer's wallets and Nokia phone. If it weren't for being reported by a Peers, Zhao Jun would probably still be at large, unknown to the police.
And by the time he came out again, the Nokia of yesteryear had already gone bankrupt. Modern smartphones had replaced cash payment processes, and Zhao Jun's target had shifted from cash to phones.
However, this did not affect his skill. Even if there were a few plainclothes Police Officers patrolling back and forth, Zhao Jun still stole without fail.
He even targeted a slightly younger Police Officer.
That Police Officer's phone... it was really easy to take, so easy that Zhao Jun even suspected if the other party was setting a trap.
However, Zhao Jun had only taken a few steps when the girl whose phone he had just stolen discovered the problem, and with clear thinking, she pointed at another girl behind her: "My phone was stolen! Was it you?!"
The girl behind her looked bewildered: "No, what does that have to do with me? Are you sick?"
"You were the one who kept pushing me just now! And you and your companion were whispering about me the whole way, I heard it all!"
It turned out that these two girls already had a conflict. Now that a problem arose, the girl whose phone was stolen naturally instinctively pointed the finger at the other girl.
And the girl who was unfairly accused naturally denied it, also becoming angry and demanding that the other party apologize and not slander her without reason.
Thus, the subsequent development began to become fantastical.
Someone saw Zhao Jun's hand reaching out to steal the phone, but due to the angle, she also instinctively mistook that hand for the other girl's hand, so she actively sided with and helped identify her. And because the main idols of both fan groups happened to be rivals, this siding inexplicably escalated in intensity, turning into a battle for the honor and disgrace of their respective idols.
"I'm telling you, your Xu Youyou is just a Xu Youyou! After so many years, she hasn't made any progress. A fake queen still steals from others. You really are a fan just like your idol! She steals from the Best Actress, you steal {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} phones. You're truly one more shameless than the other!"
"Damn it! I told you I didn't steal your phone! How dare you talk about our Xu Youyou like that? Do you really think your plastic surgery face could have become Best Actress without Xu Youyou? You're truly just like your idol, dreaming all day, fantasizing about others stealing your things, ugh!"
"Damn it, you bitch, what do you mean?"
"Get lost! Watch your mouth!"
The girl whose phone was stolen was furious and directly grabbed the other party's hair, while the other side did not show weakness and also grabbed the person's clothes. The rest of the people from both sides quickly went to help. As a result, this matter escalated from a few people's problem to a group of people's problem, and due to the extreme chaos at the scene, many fans themselves hadn't even figured out what was happening before they were all drawn into it.
"Everyone calm down! Separate! Don't join the commotion!"
"Everyone disperse!"
The fan groups originally occupied separate areas, minding their own business, but now this situation was like a chain reaction, spreading from one person to another. Although the big fans of the organized fan groups were shouting in front, it had actually already become a chaotic mess, and no one could tell who was who.
So, as expected, the Police Officers arrived and separated the chaotic crowd.
When Xiao He arrived at the periphery of the crowd, the chaos had already ended. The police were dispersing the various fan groups, who, despite their laments, were very cooperative with the police's work and gradually scattered.
"I'm really exasperated. Normally, all the groups get along well, but ever since those few came here, the whole atmosphere has turned bad!"
A few girls left together, complaining about the fans of those groups.
Xiao He pricked up his ears and listened, and he roughly understood.
It was still the aftermath of the dating rumors between Xu Youyou and Su Shengxi.
Although many people knew they were definitely dating, neither side had admitted it, so the matter was considered "non-existent."
But coincidentally, fans dug up that the two of them were recently in the same Film and Television Base, so the fans who were causing a ruckus online transferred their activities offline, determined to monitor their every move.
And the most critical part was that the current popular young actor Ran Yunrui and the popular young actress Iman'er were also filming here.
On a side note, Iman'er and Xu Youyou were rivals. The fiercest arguments during the Best Actress competition were between their two fan groups, but in the end, Xu Youyou still won.
And Ran Yunrui and Xu Youyou were from the same management company and had the same agent. Previously, Xu Youyou had mentored Ran Yunrui, using her resources to help him, which led to Xu Youyou's fans always disliking Ran Yunrui...
The complex relationships and old grudges were simply too many and too complicated; if one were to go into detail, it would be endless.
So, when the fans of these groups gathered together, it was truly a case of enemies meeting with heightened animosity.
The sheer scale of it made Xiao He break out in a cold sweat just by hearing about it.
Which genius decided to put these people together in one place?
Fortunately, they weren't in the same film crew, otherwise he felt that the Film and Television Base would sooner or later be razed to the ground by crazy fans.
Tsk tsk—
Someone bumped into Xiao He, and his thoughts instantly retracted. His keen intuition made him instinctively touch his pocket.
Holy cow! Eating melon, and my phone's gone!
Isn't this a great humiliation?!
Xiao He immediately turned his head, but only saw the flowing crowd.
The person who bumped into him had long disappeared into the vast sea of people...
However, the next moment, Xiao He's gaze precisely locked onto a woman in front and to the side.
The woman was wearing a black chiffon dress, a wide sun hat, and brown sunglasses. Her face was not very clear, with only a few strands of slightly curly hair showing from under the brim of her hat. Her steps were calm and elegant, walking unhurriedly with the flow of people. Compared to the other girls nearby, her every move exuded a unique charm and sexiness.
No one who saw her would associate her with a thief.
But Xiao He walked straight to the woman, reached out and grabbed her wrist, his tone resolute and serious: "Take out my phone!"
