Chapter 659 Concert and Extra Income

Initially, Zhang Heng planned to check out Lin Sisi’s neighborhood. Considering the fact that he had spent quite a long time outside, he could only push this matter back for now. Besides, interviewing Lin Sisi’s parents wasn’t going to be as easy as interviewing Li Yan. Even if they believed that Zhang Heng was a reporter, they might not be willing to meet him.

After all, another interview would only reopen the wounds still fresh from losing their beloved daughter.

Zhang Heng returned home at about 8 in the evening. His grandpa was sitting on the sofa reading newspapers, and the food on the table remained untouched.

“I’ve sent you a message telling you not to wait for me.”

“It’s better that we eat together anyway,” said Grandpa as he put down the newspapers. He did not ask where his grandson had gone to since he always believed in his judgment and self-discipline. The two had always lived like that. Grandpa believed that the more he controlled Zhang Heng, the more rebellious his grandson would become.

Zhang Heng later asked his grandfather where he learned such an idea, and the latter told him that he found it out when raising his mother.

“Let me heat the food then.” As he spoke, Zhang Heng brought the dishes on the table into the kitchen.

After learning that those creatures wouldn’t do anything to him for now, Zhang Heng stopped using the Lego kitten as his meal taster. That said, he remained vigilant. The tragic incident that happened to Lin Sisi and the college students was a constant reminder that this was no safe place. The aliens might have replaced people he thought he knew.

After dinner, Zhang Heng contacted Qin Zhen again.

The latter had a cousin who worked as a ticket reseller, specializing in buying, then selling tickets for performances or events at a higher price. Ticket resellers were either loved or hated, especially when it came to popular performances where tickets would be sold out in a blink of an eye on an online ticketing platform. Even if one had a smooth internet connection, there was no guarantee that they could bag a single ticket. If they were lucky enough to s.n.a.t.c.h one, however, it would be one with an awful sitting position.

Thus, fans who failed to buy the tickets or wanted a good position could only seek the help of a ticket reseller. It wasn’t uncommon for a one thousand yuan ticket to be marked up to at least three or four thousand yuan. As for tickets that sold like hotcakes, the reseller would increase the price to seven to eight thousand yuan. At the same time, there was a risk that the scalper would scam the buyers by selling them fake tickets.

Although all online ticketing platforms claimed that they had nothing to do with these resellers, it was difficult for them to explain the shady order of ticket allocation. Only they would know the truth. Like many, Zhang Heng disliked ticket resellers too. However, there were only four days left before the start of the concert, and purchasing the tickets through the legal channel wasn’t possible anymore. Knowing how Bai Qing was a real big fan of GEM, Zhang Heng had been thinking about how to repay her kindness. It so happened that there was a GEM concert on Friday, so he decided that he’d invite her to the concert as a thank you gesture.

At the same time, Zhang Heng was concerned that Bai Qing would misunderstand his intention. In the end, he decided to bring Qin Zhen with him.

Qin Zhen took a deep breath after hearing that Zhang Heng was inviting him to a GEM concert.

“Did you rob a bank recently? Do you know how much it costs to get GEM’s concert tickets? And you’re even getting the VIP seats?!”

“Don’t worry about the money. Just ask your cousin to help me to get the tickets,” Zhang Heng said.

Since the race proceeds couldn’t be brought back into the real world, it would be all but a waste if he didn’t spend it now.

“Okay, I’ll ask my cousin!” Qin Zhen agreed. He then asked curiously after a pause, “Now, which girl are you blowing-off such a huge fortune on?”

“Look… if you’re not interested, I can pa.s.s your ticket to someone else,” Zhang Heng said. “Fine… Fine… You’re the boss since you are paying. It so happens that I like GEM a lot too. Don’t forget me if you are going to do something like this again! I promise to be your eternal wingman.”
