Backstage at Wisdom Concert Hall, in the dressing room.
The manager, Tian Xiaoyu, was fixing Fang Xiuzhen’s appearance and applying blush to prepare for the upcoming rehearsals.
“Xiuzhen, eighteen pianists have gathered for this concert. Even Wei Boxuan and Elder Wei have come to watch. You can imagine how intense the competition is this time!”
“The concert this time should be to prepare for next month’s Jinsheng Piano Show. That is your dream. You must work hard later!”
Fang Xiuzhen was deaf. She relied on a tablet’s voice translator for daily communication. After seeing what Tian Xiaoyu said… she smiled sweetly. “I have already prepared for it. This time, I even brought a new song. It will definitely make the audience’s eyes light up!”
The door to the dressing room was suddenly pushed open, causing the two women to exclaim in surprise.
Xu Tian stepped through the door and entered. When he quickly swept his gaze across the dressing room, his originally joyous mood turned cold, and his expression turned solemn.
Fang Xiuzhen saw this unfamiliar man and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She looked over with a strange expression.
However, Tian Xiaoyu had already grabbed a broom and was angrily throwing it at Xu Tian. “You pervert, how dare you barge into a girl’s dressing room. You must be up to no good!”
However, Xu Tian only casually grabbed the broom from the air, causing Tian Xiaoyu to be stunned.
“Long time no see, my third sister!”
Xu Tian looked at Fang Xiuzhen with a smile and said this.
Fang Xiuzhen understood the shape of Xu Tian’s lips and thought of what her big sister had told her. At that time, she thought that Lin Yun had been joking, but she did not expect it to be true!
“You are… Eighth Brother, Little Tian?”
Fang Xiuzhen asked this question with some uncertainty. Her eyes shone brightly with anticipation.
Only then did Tian Xiaoyu realize that she had misunderstood Xu Tian. She let go of the broom apologetically and looked at Fang Xiuzhen in confusion. “Why didn’t I hear you mention that you had a younger brother before?”
Fang Xiuzhen’s voice was trembling. “I have been separated from my younger brother for many years! I didn’t expect to see him again! I thought that I would never see Xiaotian Again!”
Tears began to form in her eyes as she pounced towards Xu Tian and hugged him, afraid that her brother would be lost again.
Xu Tian also hugged Fang Xiuzhen tightly in his arms. The unique fragrance of her body entered his nose and was exceptionally pleasant to smell.
“Fine! I’ve wasted my makeup again!” Tian Xiaoyu was a little helpless, but her words were also filled with joy. She was clearly happy for Fang Xiuzhen. “I think I’ll go out for a while first. You two siblings should catch up on old times first.”
“You’re not allowed to leave!”
Xu Tian shouted coldly and pushed the broom in his hand toward the door, blocking Tian Xiaoyu’s path of retreat.
Fang Xiuzhen broke free from Xu Tian’s embrace and said nervously, “Brother, Xiaoyu is my manager and also my best friend. She didn’t mean it!”
Xu Tian shook his head and walked closer to Tian Xiaoyu. His eyes were full of pressure as he stared into her eyes. His voice was cold. “Speak! Have you betrayed my sister?”
Tian Xiaoyu had never experienced such a terrifying gaze before. She was so frightened that she could not speak. She could only shake her head repeatedly.
“If you haven’t betrayed her, what is this thing?”
Xu Tian’s left hand was like a strong wind as it stretched out and retracted. When he opened his palm, there was clearly a pink scarf lying inside!
This was the scarf that Tian Xiaoyu was wearing. She did not even know how Xu Tian had removed her scarf. She was already wearing a deep v-shaped top, and this tie was the best match.
Once it was removed, her fluffy, white flesh was exposed!
“Are you a man?!” Tian Xiaoyu cried out aggrievedly. “I just misunderstood you just now. Do you need to make such a big fuss?!”
Fang Xiuzhen also could not stand it anymore and quickly went forward to comfort her. “Little Brother, don’t be so impulsive, okay?”
Xu Tian did not say anything. He just tore the pink scarf open and poured out the black ball inside. There was an extremely small light on it. This was obviously an electronic software!
“What is this thing?”
When she spotted it, Tian Xiaoyu cried out in surprise.
“You don’t know anything about your own scarf?” Xu Tian’s gaze was a little fierce.
However, Tian Xiaoyu still shook her head blankly, which confused him a little.
“Brother, what exactly is this?”
Fang Xiuzhen did not know what Xu Tian had misunderstood, so she quickly asked.
Xu Tian snorted coldly, “A listening device!”
“A listening device?” Tian Xiaoyu repeated in shock, clapping her hands and shouting, “This is the scarf that Lin Youfu gave me after the last organization meeting! And this is a famous brand, so I often wear it!”
Xu Tian continued to ask, “Who is Lin Youfu?”
Just now, he had heard the three of them plotting in a dark corner. Now, a strange listening device appeared beside Fang Xiuzhen. This made his heart sink and made him extremely uneasy.
Fang Xiuzhen understood the conversation with the help of the translator and the lip reading. She continued, “Lin Youfu is Hong Tiefeng’s manager. Hong Tiefeng is now a pianist who is on par with me as a rising star in City H. The Hong family is an art family!”
“I really didn’t expect this Lin Youfu to be a pervert!” Tian Xiaoyu cursed angrily.
“It’s not Lin Youfu. The one who is truly capable is the young master Hong Tiecheng!”
Xu Tian laughed coldly. He already had a guess in his heart.
The broadcast outside sounded. “The next round of rehearsals will be conducted. Performer No. 17, please prepare to perform. Performer No. 18, Fang Xiuzhen, please be on standby.”
Tian Xiaoyu was shocked. She urged Fang Xiuzhen to sit back down and quickly touch up her makeup.
“Xiuzhen, don’t let this affect your mood. The concert will start in half an hour after the rehearsal is over!”
Xu Tian, on the other hand, looked around the makeup room. Finally, he opened his palm again and revealed three small listening devices. This made Tian Xiaoyu’s hands tremble.
“These were respectively found on the dressing mirror, shoes, and the buttons of the bag. Third Sister, the song you need to perform this time might have already been stolen by someone else!”
Now that Xu Tian recalled the conversation between the three conspirators, he understood Hong Tiefeng’s scheme and his expression turned solemn.
However, Fang Xiuzhen’s expression only panicked for a moment before she immediately calmed down. The corners of her mouth revealed a confident smile. “If it’s the same song, I’m not worried that I’ll lose to anyone!”
Xu Tian smiled bitterly in his heart. He did not expect his third sister to be so confident. However, if even the piano failed her, he would have already lost!
How could he tolerate such a situation? He had a plan in his heart.
…
On the rehearsal stage.
A classical piano lay quietly in the middle.
“It’s time to go on stage. You can do it!” Tian Xiaoyu clenched her small fists and cheered her on.
Fang Xiuzhen nodded slightly, puffed out her chest, and raised her head. She restrained her emotions and walked onto the stage. She sat elegantly beside the piano and began to play with all her heart.
When he listened to the melodious and gentle piano music flowing through his heart, Xu Tian’s anxious heart could not help but relax.
When the piano music stopped, he looked at Fang Xiuzhen with some longing. It turned out that excellent music could really move people’s hearts.
When the song ended, Xu Tian took the initiative to help the staff carry the piano. In fact, he had already planned it in his heart.
He lifted the piano with one hand, and his right hand moved like lightning. A bottle of acid hidden on the back of the piano stand appeared in his hand, and he quietly hid it in his sleeve.
Tian Xiaoyu, who had just finished changing her clothes, saw that Xu Tian was busy and understood something. She looked at Fang Xiuzhen apologetically. “I didn’t expect your brother to be so enthusiastic and take the initiative to share the work with the staff. I really misjudged him just now!”
Although she knew that there was a listening device close by, Fang Xiuzhen’s heart was filled with the joy of reuniting with Xu Tian. She smiled and said, “That’s for sure. Of course, my brother is the best. He can finally see my concert!”
…
After working on the piano, Xu Tian turned around and followed the direction of the listening device. His figure was like the wind as he ran to a door.
The identity displayed on the door was dazzling. It was the seventeenth player, Hong Tiefeng!
He stood quietly at the door and crushed the listening device in his hand. He listened attentively to the movements inside the door!
In the dressing room that was separated by a door.
Hong Tiefeng was listening with a smirk on his face. Suddenly, a piercing noise came from inside, almost piercing his eardrums!
He quickly took out his headphones and covered his ears. He slapped the monitor to the ground and slapped Lin Youfu’s face.
“Are you trying to make me deaf, like Fang Xiuzhen?!”
He had wanted to review Fang Xiuzhen’s new song, but he didn’t expect it to be filled with a violent noise.
“Young Master Hong, with your talent, haven’t you already memorized that song by heart?!”
Lin Youfu’s right face flushed red, but they still filled his face with a flattering smile. “Young Master Hong, for this concert, you will definitely get first place and win Elder Wei’s attention. That way, the Hong family will definitely be proud of you!”
Thinking of this, Hong Tiefeng laughed maniacally. “That’s for sure! Does this little girl actually dare to rank alongside me as a rising star? In the future, when I become famous, I’ll hire this deaf person to specially write songs. Old Lin, what do you think?!”
“This plan is brilliant, hahaha! Young Master Hong really has good taste! Moreover, I’ve already placed her in the last position. She’ll definitely be able to form a strong contrast with your performance!” Lin Youfu continued to suck up to him, and this caused Hong Tiefeng to laugh sinisterly.
The two of them were scheming craftily, like snakes. Little did they know that someone outside the door had already heard their conversation!
Hearing this, Xu Tian’s heart grew colder. For the sake of his reputation, he dared to harm his third sister?
But he, who originally wanted to kick open the door, paused for a moment and changed his mind.

Attacking now would only cause the two of them physical pain, but it had no practical effect.
Hong Tiefeng wanted both fame and fortune?
Dream on!
“Time to give him a taste of his own medicine!”
Pressing the pause button on the recording pen in his hand, Xu Tian walked towards Hong Tiefeng’s piano with a solemn expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.. “Since you want to play this trick, then I’ll give your piano a tune-up!”
