chapter 39.

"Then I really touched him?" Xue Youka looked at his expression, slowly stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingertips tentatively went up, Cheng Yu's expression did not change at all, as if he really didn't care.

Xue Youka was a little nervous about the one-million-dollar drum, and a little bit incredulous. Didn't he say he wasn't allowed to touch it? Why did he let himself touch it?

"It can't be gold, right? It doesn't feel like it."

"It's golden, do you still want to lick it?"

Xue Youka quickly confirmed that it was not gold, and then said: "Lick it!"

"Here." Cheng Yu pointed to the bass drum. The white drum surface faced the audience, with the brand name, Turbo's name, and Scorpio's logo printed on it. "It's gold-plated, lick it."

Xue Youka: "..."

He quietly retracted his hand.

Cheng Yu crossed his arms: "Why don't you speak?"

"You did it on purpose."

"Why did I do it on purpose?"

"You bully me!"

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He felt that his words seemed to have a coquettish meaning, and his hanging fingertips began to tingle, numbing his heart.

Cheng Yu opened his mouth to say something, and at this moment, the door opened.

Old K came in with several bottles of mineral water: "One bottle for each person."

"Are you going to have a dinner party tonight?"

"With whom?" Cheng Yu unscrewed the mineral water and was about to hand it to Xue Youka, but found that he had unscrewed it himself and sat on his drum stool in a swaggering manner.

When Lao K saw him sitting, he panicked instantly: "Xue, junior brother... that position..."

"It's okay, let him sit."

Xue Youka seemed to realize something and stood up immediately.

Old K looked at the two of them and didn't quite understand: "With Shen Huailin, Brother Fei and Mr. Gao."

They are all a group of veteran musicians who started at thirty-five years old and reached more than fifty years old at most. This group of people have always looked down on young bands who like to show off but have no clue about their own abilities. However, for Scorpio, a twenty-year-old young man

The band admired it very much and said: "When we were young, we were more pretentious than them, and our skills were not as good as theirs."

Lao K went to call Wolf and Lin Shimao who suddenly disappeared, and only Xue Youka and Cheng Yu were left in the room.

Cheng Yu saw him standing against the wall: "Why did you stand up when I asked you to sit down?"

"I'm afraid you'll force me to lick your stool later." It's reasonable. Tubo can definitely do such a thing.

"Am I so bad in your eyes?" Cheng Yu softened his voice and sat next to him, "I was just joking, I didn't mean to bully you."

This time it was Xue Youka who was stunned.

He also made a joke, saying that Turbo bullied him, but he didn't expect Cheng Yu to apologize to him so seriously.

Xue Youka touched his nose and felt embarrassed. He was not used to turbo like this.

"It's bad!" Lao K suddenly rushed in, "turbo! Amao, his voice..."

Cheng Yu stood up immediately: "What's wrong?"

Old K explained: "I don't know, my throat suddenly swelled and I lost my voice a little bit. It just happened."

"What's going on? Did he just eat something?"

Wolf and Lin Shimao appeared at the door. Wolf said anxiously: "I only drank this bottle of water, which was provided by the organizer. I will accompany him to the hospital now!"

"No..." Lin Shimao's voice sounded breathy and he shook his head, "The contract is signed. If the two members of the band are not here, how can we perform? You stay and I go."

"But..." Wolf wanted to say something else, but Lin Shimao held him down and stared at him deeply, "Don't get into trouble today and perform well."

"Me, I'll accompany Brother Mao to the hospital. I'll take a taxi now!" Xue Youka took out his cell phone, "The nearest hospital is only two kilometers away!"

Cheng Yu gave one serious reminder: "There may be ototoxic drugs or allergens in the water. Let this bottle of water be tested. Call me when you get the results from the hospital."

Then he called Lao K: "Go to the organizer and check the monitoring."

"There are many surveillance blind spots here," Lao K suddenly remembered and said, "It is impossible for the organizer to do such a thing. There is only one person, and I wonder if it is Dong Geng..."

Cheng Yu: "Dong Geng, who?"

"...The former keyboard player of our band, have you forgotten? Now he is in a band called...kv or something." It is a small band, not unknown, but it is not very famous either, so it comes to the music festival.

Not only are there no appearance fees for the warm-up performers, but they are not on the same stage as them.

Old K still remembers him because Dong Geng stole the band’s money.

Wolf rolled up the sleeves of his coat and looked fiercely: "Is that the white-haired one? I'll kill him."

"Don't, don't, don't. If it's Dong Geng, he should have just taken a medicine or an allergen to temporarily silence his voice. He can't be poisoned. If you go and beat him up now, it's over. Let's go to the organizer to check the surveillance first. It's best if we have evidence.

If no evidence can be found, wait until the show is over..." Old K made a gesture, saying that the person who tricked his brother must not be let go.

Turbo was still thinking about Lin Shimao's condition. He didn't show it on his face, but he was very anxious in his heart. He sent a message to Xue Youka: "Are you at the hospital?"

No reply there.

"Now we only have one thing to consider, who will be the lead singer?"

The two people looked at Turbo.

He has a good voice, no worse than Lin Shimao, but he just doesn't like being the lead singer because he thinks it's too high-profile.

Cheng Yu didn't rehearse, so he went out to ask around and found Dong Geng's band. They were also four people and were rehearsing.

Cheng Yu pointed at the keyboard player Bai Mao.

Dong Geng's expression changed instantly.

The rehearsal of the four people was suspended. The lead singer recognized him and seemed surprised: "turbo?"

Cheng Yuhan said with a face: "You keyboards drugged our lead singer today. Your performance will be in an hour, Dong Geng, before the performance starts, you kneel down in front of the audience and apologize to Lin Shimao."

Dong Geng: "...what did you say?"

"You heard me clearly. Otherwise you will get off the stage." Cheng Yu seemed too calm.

The four people were shocked by his pretentious temperament.

Dong Geng became angry: "Why do you tell us to get off the stage? Who drugged Lin Shimao? It's none of my business! I didn't do it!"

Cheng Yu didn't say anything and left directly.

The four people cursed: "Dong Geng, is this the guy you said, who brought a lot of cymbals on stage to light his face? He poured a basin of dirty water on us and told us to get off the stage? Who is he?"

"Yes, is he worthy? He's so dragged after a girl is chasing him. The organizer didn't even say anything, so what did he say? It's funny!"

"It's so pretentious, so pretentious. Who knows what happened to Lin Shimao? Why should he blame us just because our keyboard player is the former keyboard player of their band?"

"Dong Geng, you've never done this before, have you?" the lead singer turned to ask him.

"No...no."

That guilty expression made the lead singer a little uneasy.

4pm, young blood stage.

This stage is used as a warm-up venue for some niche bands. The night of the music festival is the highlight, and only rare big names will appear, so only two-thirds of the audience came to the venue, and another three-thirds were present.

One, I have to wait until after six o'clock to arrive.

After the Key band came on stage, there was a prelude. The lead singer raised the rock gesture towards the sky and shouted: "Hello everyone! We are Key!"

A few voices from the audience came out: "Oh..."

The lead singer was a little embarrassed, so he looked at his teammates and prepared to start singing.

Dong Geng stood behind the keyboard and calmed down.

Now that they are on stage, it is impossible to tell them to get off, no matter how powerful Turbo is.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the first lyrics were sung, Mai suddenly lost his voice, the power of the instrument was unplugged, and the entire stage fell into silence.

What situation is this?

The whole band, including the audience in the audience, was a little confused.

"Sorry! There's something wrong with our equipment!" the lead singer shouted loudly to the staff next to him.

Soon, several staff members, who looked like security guards, rushed up and asked them to get out first.

The four of them thought something had happened and needed maintenance or something, so they walked off the stage.

As a result, as soon as they got off the stage, they went to another small band, and the lead singer said into the microphone that had no problem at all: "The Key band has an emergency, and we, Mars, will perform next! Thank you everyone!"

Although the audience found it strange, not many people cared.

In the audience, the four members of the Key band wanted to rush forward: "What are you doing! Aren't we performing?"

"Who are they! Stealing our place!"
