Teleportations — I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity

Chapter 337 Mission Fail
However, she had undermined this person in front of her, this streamer who was deemed to be the most cruel to date – Mu Chengxuan.

He seemed to have heard the sound of cars leaving. However, that was not the case. They only moved to the other side and continued to keep an eye on them. Tang Xia was tugged away by Mu Chengxuan’s strong arm. She felt like a little chick as he pulled her along easily.

“What are you doing! Let me go!” Tang Xia frowned while trying to break free of his grip. At this moment, Mu Chengxuan stopped and turned around to look at her seriously. After staring at her for a while, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

Mu Chengxuan approached her slowly. Each step he took felt like he was trampling on her heart. Suddenly, he put his face close to hers. She was instantly surrounded by a gust of bitter cold aura. She heard him ask in an icy-cold voice, “Have we met before?”

Tang Xia had yet to register what was going on. When she heard his question, she felt a chill spreading from her toes to her head. She smiled and stuttered, “How is that possible? I’ve never seen you before.”

However, Mu Chengxuan kept a stern face. His icy-cold expression did not have a single bit of warmth. He continued to lean forward, leaving Tang Xia with no choice but to move backward. He only stopped when she reached the pillar behind her. “Really? But I feel that you look very familiar. You’re the one who spoilt my plan the last time, right?”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Tang Xia became so nervous she could hardly breathe. She suddenly gave a peal of cold laughter. “You’re indeed the ace streamer of Cross-era. Not only are you as good as they say you are, but I can also feel the oppression from you just by standing here.”

This sudden change caught Mu Chengxuan by surprise. He did not expect this woman to admit it directly. However, he was only stunned for a moment. “Why? You’re now admitting that you know me?”

“I can’t deny it since you already recognized me. I didn’t admit it because I didn’t want to create unnecessary trouble for myself. Last time, my mission was to protect the Altar, which was why I had a clash with you. But that was inevitable. I think you won’t be so petty, right?”

There was not a single trace of nervousness in Tang Xia’s eyes just because she had been exposed. She said those words so lightly as if it was really the case. Instantly, the number of fans in the broadcast room doubled. They all admired how she had the courage to go against Master Mu.

Mu Chengxuan remained silent and studied her a little. Just when Tang Xia thought that nothing was going to happen, he suddenly laughed coldly. He slowly lifted his head and caressed her hair. That gaze he had when he saw a prey came back again. This time around, it landed on Tang Xia.

“Huh. If I didn’t check your background after I exited the game that day, I might have believed your words.” Tang Xia’s body stiffened instantly. She never thought that this person would conduct a background check on her!

His eagle eyes naturally noticed her small change. “But it’s such a pity, I’ve already done a thorough check on you. There are all kinds of information on the Internet. Miss Tang Xia, six months ago, you were the woman of the moment, a popular female streamer from Time-travel Bar.”

“So what if I am Tang Xia? My mission this time around has nothing to do with you. I’m only stealing a cultural relic, what does that have to do with you!” Tang Xia started to fight back strongly after saying that. She wanted to push him away but did not expect him to lock her in place with a backhand.

She heard him whisper in her ear, “I can easily do a test to find out what’s your mission. You trying so hard to justify yourself only makes you more suspicious.”

While Tang Xia struggled, she could not help feeling afraid. This person was too scary.

He suddenly lifted his head and directly pulled her away from others’ fields of vision. He pressed the gun in his hand against her temple and locked her in his embrace. He shouted towards the direction that her teammates were hiding in, “Hey! Stop hiding! I’ll count to ten, if you guys don’t come out, I’ll kill her!”

He started to count down. “Ten, nine, eight, … three, two, …”

Although Tang Xia did not know how he found that they had not left, she could only close her eyes and pray for them not to be discovered. Mu Chengxuan looked at her with a cold glare. The curl on his lips became bigger.

“One!”

“Don’t shoot! We’ll come out!” Then, two policemen raised their hands and walked out slowly. Tang Xia’s body loosened instantly. She looked up feeling speechless and gave each one of them a big eye-roll.

Mu Chengxuan smiled as he turned around and looked at Tang Xia. He said sarcastically, “Do you know why I know that they had not left?”

Tang Xia looked at him and scoffed helplessly. “Usually when the police run into a situation where the criminal on the run has an accomplice, they will not choose to retreat. Meanwhile, the civil police will be determined to wait for backup. However, these two said to retreat very decisively.”

Tang Xia looked back at the two policemen again. Once again, she had the urge to yell at them. Do people in the system have no IQ?

No, Chu Tiankuo was not like this.

At that moment when she thought of Chu Tiankuo, Mu Chengxuan noticed her gaze softening instantly. At that moment, he felt captured by her beauty.

“Okay, at least I already know why I’m going to die. Now just get it over and done with.” Tang Xia eventually compromised helplessly. However, Mu Chengxuan did not plan to just stop there.

“No, you can’t die yet. You have to be my hostage until the day when the WTO starts.” After saying that, he gave a peal of cold laughter.

Although Tang Xia heard of this person’s insidious and unscrupulous means, she did not expect him to be so shameless. “Mu Chengxuan, do you not have a moral bottom line? How could you keep a hostage!”

However, Mu Chengxuan did not feel anything. Tang Xia suddenly scoffed. She turned to the system and said, “Abandon mission, log out of the game!” Meanwhile, before Mu Chengxuan could react, a white light quickly flashed past. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the real world.

July had witnessed the whole process and read many comments from the fans. Although she knew that Tang Xia should not be blamed for this ending, she still could not help but feel pity for her. “What do we do now? The whole company is waiting for you to oppress Cross-era with a victory. Now we are the ones being slapped across the face.”

Once the result was set, a bunch of fans screen captured the last scene of her giving up on the mission. A majority of those who did not know the full story and was lazy to watch the video were all confused by that clip.

Once the video was released, all sorts of click baits were made. There were countless of them, such as “Once Time-travel Bar’s Popular Streamer, Tang Xia Meets Mu Chengxuan and Quits Broadcast!” and “After a Disappointing Comeback, Netizens Asks Tang Xia to Go Back Home and be Decadent.”

Although some of her fans tried to speak up for her, they could not win over the netizens who only judge things from the surface and follow the trend. Naturally, there were also anti-fans hired by Cross-era to oppress Time-travel Bar who was trying to revive themselves.

“Gosh, how can someone like this be a streamer? She should just continue staying at home!”

“Giving up on the mission halfway through the live broadcast? Is this still the same Tang Xia who was known to be the queen of skills?”

“At the one who talked about skills; haha, she only won beautifully in the past because her company planted Chu Tiankuo that bug to help her.”

“Leave the streamer industry, this is not for you anymore.”

“…”

Tang Xia was sitting in July’s office scrolling through Weibo. However, her facial expression could not be any calmer. On the other hand, sitting beside her, July was overwrought. Having achieved such a terrible outcome in the first mission upon returning, she did not know how to face the senior executives.

“My dear, how can you still act as if nothing happened!” July looked at her and eventually could not help but blurted out. However, Tang Xia only smiled faintly.

“Anyway, if someone deliberately talks bad about me, I can’t stop them. So why not just let them be? At least I can have some peace and quiet.” After saying so, she put down her phone and slowly leaned back while stretching her back.

However, at this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. The CEO’s assistant said to Tang Xia with a sullen face, “The CEO is looking for you.”

Tang Xia already knew from the moment she came in. She slowly stood up and tidied her outfit before following after her, leaving July standing there at a loss.

The assistant did not say a word this time around. Tang Xia also knew that this was very serious. Soon, the two of them arrived at the so-called office. They pushed the door open and entered directly.

Seeing that there were only a few senior executives with the most power in the CEO’s office, it was probably a last-minute meeting. Tang Xia was neither obsequious nor supercilious when she walked in. “Good afternoon.”

Seeing her acting like this, Mr. Xu eventually could not help but slammed the table and scolded her, “Good afternoon? The company had put in so much effort to hire you again and this is how you do things? Have we dealt with you too easily?”

Ms. Jin gave two peals of cold laughter. “Probably. Although I had high expectations of you in the beginning, I am now starting to doubt your capabilities too. You scored a defeat in your first game, what a way to make us proud.”

At this moment, the door of the CEO’s office was suddenly pushed open. Other than the senior executives, even Tang Xia was also a little stunned. They watched as Ye Yifan ran in gasping for air.

“Why are you here? You already won at the beginning. You don’t need to come in such a hurry. You can go back and rest.” While saying so, Ms. Jin glanced at Tang Xia, obviously mocking her.

Ye Yifan ignored them and directly pulled Tang Xia behind him. The crowd looked at his protective gesture and were stunned. However, they also felt that it was reasonable.

This person had been protecting Tang Xia since half a year ago. He also left and even rejoined the company because of her. It was unexpected but reasonable.

He panted heavily while speaking up for her loudly, “As long as you watched the live broadcast attentively, you will know that this matter has got nothing to do with Tang Xia. She lost due to an external factor, so you all have no right to pick on her.”
