Chapter 372 Creditworthy

"Don't worry too much, we can find a balance. Now, let's enjoy this cup of coffee." Ivy smiled and tried to change the subject.

He Yupeng nodded and looked at her gratefully. Their souls found some solace in this cozy café. Perhaps, facing the hustle and bustle of the city, what they need is not just adventure and excitement, but also their own tranquility.

In the warm cafe, He Yupeng picked up the coffee cup and fell into silence for a while. He felt entangled and helpless in his heart and found it difficult to accept this invasion of privacy. Ivy patted his hand gently, indicating that he shouldn't be too frustrated.

"This kind of thing is really hard to accept." Ivy took a deep breath and tried to say in an understanding tone: "But maybe we can learn something from it and become more alert to this situation."

He Yupeng nodded. He knew that Ivy was right, but the dissatisfaction in his heart could not be eliminated. They stared at each other for a moment, their minds communicating in silence.

"Maybe we can consider a more secretive way, but this does not mean that we have to give up urban exploration." Ivy continued, hoping to give He Yupeng some encouragement.

He Yupeng smiled slightly, and the depression in his heart gradually faded away: "Yes, we shouldn't change our plans just because of an unhappiness. There are still many beautiful places in the city waiting for us to explore."

The two men regained their spirits and decided not to let this unpleasantness stand in the way of their progress. After leaving the cafe, they continued to travel through the night of the city, discovering the unique side of the city together.

"Maybe we can find some more private places, just for ourselves." He Yupeng suggested, trying to create a small world for the two of them.

Ivy smiled and nodded: "Good idea. We can try to avoid too much exposure and enjoy some beautiful moments that only we know."

Under the city night, He Yupeng and Ivy decided to take some measures to protect their privacy. A firm determination surged in He Yupeng's heart, and he no longer wanted to be swayed by outside attention. The two walked in silence back to the location where they were photographed by the paparazzi.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ivy asked softly, and she could feel the determination in He Yupeng's heart.

He Yupeng nodded and took a deep breath: "Yes, I don't want this problem to bother us all the time. If we can find the paparazzi, maybe we can delete some videos and relieve some pressure."

The two found the place where the paparazzi had appeared, but found that there was no trace. At night in the city, the crowds of people on the streets made it difficult for them to trace the whereabouts of the paparazzi.

"Maybe we have to start with the city's surveillance center and see if we can find some clues." Ivy suggested, and she began to support He Yupeng's decision.

So, the two walked towards the city's surveillance center. In the process, the impatience in He Yupeng's heart was gradually replaced by calmness. He knew that this was not something that happened overnight. This urban adventure becomes more complicated, but they don't plan to give up easily.

Arriving at the surveillance center, He Yupeng asked for help in finding some specific surveillance videos, hoping to find the whereabouts of the paparazzi. The staff at the surveillance center enthusiastically assisted them in searching surveillance images from all over the city one by one.

"Maybe we can find them and delete some unnecessary videos." He Yupeng said, feeling his inner determination getting stronger.

After some searching, they finally found the paparazzi shooting spot on a busy street. He Yupeng stared at the surveillance screen with a sense of determination in his heart.

"What should we do now?" Ivy looked at He Yupeng, knowing that she might face some difficult choices next.

Under the city night, He Yupeng and Ivy walked through the busy streets and headed towards the filming location where the paparazzi was spotted. The night wind blew on their faces, and the tension and determination in their hearts were intertwined.

"We have to be careful and try to avoid causing unnecessary commotion." Ivy reminded He Yupeng in a low voice. She could also feel the sensitivity of this mission.

He Yupeng nodded, his eyes firm: "Yes, our goal is to solve the problem, not create more trouble."

They quietly approached the location where the paparazzi had been. In an inconspicuous corner, they found a group of people busy next to the paparazzi cameras. The paparazzi have been spotted, making the situation even more complicated.

"We have to hurry up and see if we can negotiate a solution." He Yupeng whispered, and they tried to get closer without attracting too much attention.

As they approached, someone noticed their arrival. The paparazzi team members looked at them warily, and one of them quickly stepped forward.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" The man's attitude was aggressive and he was obviously on guard.

He Yupeng faced it calmly and explained: "We just want to find you and request to delete some videos involving our privacy. We don't want such things to affect our lives."

The members of the paparazzi smiled sarcastically: "Privacy? You are public figures and have been appearing in public. This is our job, so don't make unnecessary resistance."

He Yupeng's heart was filled with rage, but he knew it was not the right time to explode. He tried to stay calm: "We didn't sign any contract to allow you to track us. This is illegal. We just want to solve the problem and don't want to make things worse."

He still maintained a sarcastic smile, as if he didn't care about He Yupeng and Ivy's requests. The leader of the paparazzi pondered for a moment before saying provocatively: "Our mission is to track public figures, and there is no way you can stop us."

He Yupeng was furious, but he knew that now was not the time to conflict with the paparazzi. He said calmly: "We are not stopping your work, we are just asking to delete some videos that we think violate privacy. This should not be too much."

The members of the paparazzi remained unmoved. Instead, they were fiddling with their cameras and said, "You are a popular star. How is it possible that no one is paying attention to your every move? We are just providing information."

He Yupeng looked at Ivy, his heart becoming more determined. They have to find a way to solve the problem, or the fight could escalate.

"We can pay you to delete those videos. We want to protect some of our own private space." Ivy tried to propose a compromise.

The members of the paparazzi smiled slyly: "Pay? Maybe you can consider it, but it depends on whether the price you offer is sincere enough."

He Yupeng realizes that this is a dangerous situation, but they have no intention of backing down. They decided to pay some price to protect their privacy.

"Okay, we will provide a reasonable fee, but please make sure to delete all videos involving our private lives." He Yupeng said, his voice revealing determination and unyielding.

He Yupeng and Ivy watched the paparazzi members bargaining, and the pressure in their hearts gradually increased. They deeply feel that this is not just an economic transaction, but also a battle for privacy protection and dignity.

"Is this their method? Taking advantage of our needs to blackmail." He Yupeng roared in his heart, but kept a calm face.

The members of the paparazzi seemed to sense He Yupeng's inner uneasiness, and they became more and more proud: "Celebrities have to pay a price. This is not the first time you have encountered this kind of thing, right?"

Pressure was building in He Yupeng's heart, but he knew that maintaining privacy was crucial now. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, we agree to pay. Please tell us the price."

The leader of the paparazzi smiled slyly and revealed the pleasure of success: "Then one million. This is a fair price. After all, we have put in a lot of hard work."

He Yupeng and Ivy's hearts were as heavy as lead. This sky-high price was unbearable for them, but they felt helpless in the face of the relentless pursuit by the media and the public. The pressure forces them to make difficult choices between privacy and money.

"We will transfer the money in advance. You must fulfill your promise and delete all related videos." Ivy said firmly, knowing that this was a race against time.

The leader of the paparazzi smiled proudly: "Of course, we are creditworthy. Once the payment is received, your privacy will be properly handled."

He Yupeng and Ivy were filled with helplessness. Although they won this round, during this night in the city, they realized that protecting privacy is not something that can be achieved overnight. Ivy gently held He Yupeng's hand, trying to convey a sense of comfort.

"We can only take it step by step. While protecting ourselves, we must also consider how to avoid this kind of problem from happening again." Ivy said to He Yupeng, although she herself felt deeply stressed.

In a night of stress and privacy, He Yupeng and Ivy felt exhausted. However, in this dark corner of the city, a strange determination rose in the hearts of the two of them.

"We have to rethink how we can better protect privacy without affecting our lives." He Yupeng suggested, with a determination for change emerging in his heart.

Ivy nodded in agreement: "Maybe we can use some means, such as magic, to create some illusions to confuse the media and paparazzi."

The two began to think about how to use magic to protect themselves. In the night of the city, they found a quiet corner and began a discussion about illusions and privacy.

"If we can create some false scenes to make the media mistake it for what is really happening, it may be able to distract attention." Ivy thought, trying to find a clever solution.
