Chapter 132: Leng Yan Grows Anxious—Is This Man Here to Kidnap Bai Ling?

Teasing aside, everyone still patiently listened to the entire song.

There was no denying it—the current singer truly sang beautifully.

This was a small surprise in addition to the new song brought by Leng Yan.

Finally, it was time for the identity guessing segment.

In the past, this was always the most exciting and thrilling moment for everyone.

But this time, hesitation crept in among all.

“The song was enjoyable, but who exactly is this guy?”

“Do you know him?”

“I don’t. I can’t tell.”

“This voice is quite unique. Normally, only a few top figures in the industry have such a timbre.”

“But judging by the singing technique, he still seems a bit lacking.”

“Is it possible that these big names are just pretending not to have great skills?”

“Come to think of it, that’s actually quite possible.”

“Then just randomly guess—could it be Teacher Han Guangming?”

On stage, Bai Ling shook her head, “No, it’s not him!”

“Not Teacher Han Guangming? Then maybe Teacher Feng Hanwei?”

Bai Ling shook her head again, “No, not him either!”

At this moment, Li Yuanhong said, “He keeps saying ‘oh’ when he talks; he’s probably quite young.”

Everyone’s minds opened up, “Could he be a new singer?”

“That won’t do. There are so many newcomers. If some rookie appears whom we don’t know at all, wouldn’t that ruin everything?”

“Director, is this appropriate? This isn’t good!”

“We want to protest!”

Facing their outcry, the host, after receiving instructions from the director through the earpiece, said, “Judges, please remain calm.”

“This singer is not a newcomer, but someone you all know.”

It was clear the host knew Bai Ling’s identity, and at this moment, his expression turned rather strange.

Including the production team, everyone was in a bit of a bind.

Bai Ling!

Yes, Bai Ling!

The Bai Ling who sang “Under the Sea,” “Invisible Wings,” and “A Diao.”

Though the song was said to be written by Shao Huaxia, it was evidently prepared especially for Leng Yan.

It didn’t quite suit a female voice.

Even if it did, it would be for female singers with powerful high notes.

How could it possibly match Bai Ling’s voice?

Yet now, those who knew Dingdang Cat’s true identity were listening to Bai Ling sing this song in a male voice flawlessly, even outshining the original singer, Leng Yan.

Was this appropriate?

Was this reasonable?

Yet, amid their astonishment, they were ecstatic.

What had been the biggest bottleneck and obstacle for their show recently?

Wasn’t it that all the singers had been exposed, turning the show’s title “Guess Who I Am” into a joke?

One reveal after another.

Did they even need to guess anymore?

It was like using an advanced math test paper as a gimmick only to open it and find kindergarten-level addition and subtraction.

Was this suitable?

Therefore, the collapse of the show’s reputation was understandable.

But now, Bai Ling’s vocal ability gave them a huge surprise.

These judges definitely wouldn’t guess it.

Perhaps Bai Ling could even participate in several more episodes.

By the season’s end, when Bai Ling’s identity was finally revealed, wouldn’t the buzz and reputation explode completely?

A plan to save the show and hopes began to form in the director’s mind.

He was so excited he could hardly contain himself.

Of course, if they wanted to keep Bai Ling, the appearance fee would skyrocket.

But...

It would all be worth it.

On stage, after the host stated that Bai Ling was someone everyone knew, the entire audience was dumbfounded.

“What?”

“We all know him?”

“Even the audience?”

The host nodded firmly, “Yes, the audience knows him well and is very familiar!”

“His fame is quite prominent!”

In reality, the host and director had given such a hint that it was rather excessive.

Any slight mistake could have led to Bai Ling being guessed.

But the more they were guided in this way, the more confused and puzzled everyone became.

Who could connect Bai Ling with the voice just now?

Was this appropriate?

Was this respectful to Bai Ling?

As everyone began scratching their heads, their gazes shifted to Leng Yan.

“Leng Shao, don’t just stare—say something.”

“He sang your song, you ought to say a few words.”

At this moment, Leng Yan was also itching to speak.

He looked at Bai Ling and said, “Do we really know each other?”

Bai Ling nodded emphatically.

After all, Dingdang Cat was large-bodied with a big head.

She almost had to bow to show a nod.

“If I do know you, then later I’ll have to charge you copyright fees,” Leng Shao teased.

Everyone laughed heartily.

“Yeah, singer, you’re singing someone else’s song—you need to pay copyright fees.”

“Hurry up and give a hint—we’ll plead for you to waive it.”

The audience was speechless. Could it really be like this?

Of course, everyone knew it was a joke.

Bai Ling smiled too.

“Teacher Leng Yan, but isn’t the copyright held by Sister Bai Ling?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

Leng Yan’s face darkened immediately. “You brat, you know Bai Ling too?”

Bai Ling suppressed her laughter. “Yes, Teacher Leng Yan, I’m quite close with Sister Bai Ling. She said she’s going to write songs for me.”

“We’ve already agreed on several songs. She’ll probably be busy for the next couple of months.”

“She told me to tell you not to wait—she won’t pay attention to you these two months.”

Leng Yan’s eyes twitched.

“What? Several songs?”

“No way, I have to confront Bai Ling!”

How could my dear girl abandon me?

This is a disaster.

Seeing Leng Yan, who was initially calm and confident on stage, acting like this, everyone thought about stepping forward.

“Teacher Leng, don’t be like this!”

“Teacher Leng, don’t be like this!”

“He’s just teasing you!”

Watching this scene, Bai Ling couldn’t help but want to laugh.

This Leng Shao was truly flustered!

Leng Yan looked helplessly at Bai Ling on stage. “Hmph, brat, don’t let me find out who you really are!”

A judge nearby joked, “What’s wrong? Is Teacher Leng angry because his daughter was taken away?”

Leng Yan retorted, “Nonsense! I’m not that old.”

“She calls me big brother—what daughter?!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Seeing the lively atmosphere at the judges’ table, the host stepped in.

“Teachers, let’s get back to guessing!”

This silenced everyone.

In their minds, there really was no such person.

“Then, congratulations to our Dingdang Cat for becoming the very first contestant to advance smoothly since the show began!”

Upon hearing this, the audience rose and applauded.

At the judges’ table, all the singers stood, except for Leng Yan, who looked unwilling.

This brat definitely had a special relationship with Bai Ling—possibly even an ambiguous one.

As the big brother, he had to keep a close eye.

He couldn’t let the good Bai Ling be mistreated.

She was still young—what if she was deceived by some rotten man in the industry?

P.S.: The heroine won’t always be singing male-voiced songs. This show will feature many female-voiced songs, and I will select those that fit. If anyone feels the choices aren’t quite right, I apologize in advance.
