Chapter 2

"What? So you want to take Nakada Saka case and you want us to help you? Why?" Everyone voiced out the next day, and I covered my ears with my hands, wincing as I did, because everyone's astonished shouts were just too loud, and it made it so hard to think.

"Nakada Saka is one of my mother's friends and my honorary aunt. Also, look at this." I said calmly, my calm voice thinly masking my annoyance that was bubbling under the surface, and I tossed the file containing the details of Nakada Saka's murder case to the others, who realized why I was willing to take the case, and they couldn't believe what had been written there in the cause of death section of the document.

"Yes. It is exactly what we all think. This case is related to the cases that we had investigated so far, that the cause of death is also Epiphany, and I believe that we have to get to the bottom of it since it is related to the entertainment industry." I said calmly, betraying the fear hidden in my tone, and everyone all glanced at each other silently, as if asking if they wish to take this case, and after a while, everyone nod, deciding to take the case, to help me with the case, and I smiled softly, happy that everyone was willing to help, and all of us were discussing on what to do and how to solve the case, when my phone rang, and I picked it up, and I froze when I saw the notification for my email, that I was invited as one of the honored guest for the Grammys Awards, one of the most prestigious award for music producers and singers, and I frowned, wondering why I was chosen to be one of the honored guest, because it had been a long while since I had debuted as a singer, as an artist, and although I do produce songs and sing it, but it was not as much as the time when I was little, when I had expressed that I wanted to be an idol, an artist.

"Hey guys....I think that we can start from here. I'm invited to the Grammys Awards as one of the honored guests, and I could invite someone as my plus one." I finally said after a while, seeing everyone's shocked gazes at me, and they couldn't believe it, that I am invited to the Grammys Awards event, and when they checked the email address, they realized that it is legit, that I really was invited to join the Grammys Awards as one of the honored guests, and that I could invite anyone as my plus one, and everyone was glancing at me with curiosity and shock, wondering who I would bring to the Grammy Awards.

"Joker. Can you be my plus one?" I asked Joker, making Joker glance at me in shock, wondering why I had chosen her to be my plus one, because she knew that the others, like Queen, is more suitable for the job, and that she would just stand out although she had learned the basic courtesy and etiquette for this kind of events.

"Joker, I choose you to be my plus one because you are the only one who is able to blend in with the crowd. Queen? She will stand out due to not being used to the social etiquette of this kind of events. King? Although he had grown up in this kind of environment, he still don't know how dangerous the entertainment industry is, especially during events like this. Ace? Although he could blend in well, but one wrong step will sell us out so because you're the safest option, since that you can blend in easily, that's why I choose you so please.... Please be my plus one." I pleaded desperately, desperately wanting Joker, full name Po Mirae, to attend the Grammy Awards as my plus one, and after a while of pleading, Mirae finally agreed, sighing softly in defeat, because she knew that she is the only one who won't be suspected by the perpetrator, which makes her and I able to find information faster. At Mirae's nod of acceptance and defeat, I smiled apologetically, knowing how much I had owed Mirae, because if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to survive the narrow situations although I am very street smart.

"Now we have our ace in the hole,...This is the plan." I whispered softly to everyone, taking out the files I have of the Grammys Awards and the floor plan, and we began forming a plan, all of us giving our thoughts to make it more formidable, making it more perfect, and finally, everyone nodded, taking a look at the final plan and reviewing the plan one last time, and everyone is in agreement, that it is showtime.

"Zheng Yun! Look here!" A reporter shouted excitedly as Zheng Yun got out of the car, casting a warm smile to the reporters. Saturday had finally come and it was the start of the Grammys, and there were many artists who had participated in the event, including artists like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Nikki Miraj, and even the legendary singer from Yuhuangxia, Kitay Zhang, and as the red carpets rolled out and the artists strut down the red carpet one by one, the clicking of the cameras sounded, signalling the perfect start of the Grammys.

"Wow! Zheng Yun! Look at thattttttt! That's Beyonce!!!!" Mirae cried out in admiration, pointing out at Beyonce, who had noticed Zheng Yun and Mirae walking down the red carpet and waved at their direction, making Mirae squeal excitedly, couldn't believe that Beyonce had noticed them, especially Zheng Yun, and as she and Zheng Yun approached, she couldn't help but ask for Beyonce's autograph, making Beyonce giggle at her enthusiastic mannerism, finding it funny and cute.

"I didn't think that you would come, Zheng Yun." Beyonce admitted, making Zheng Yun smile warmly, giving Beyonce a brotherly hug, making everyone in the media squeal while the cameras flashed at their sibling bond, because Beyonce had treated him like a younger brother when he and Beyonce first met, and since then, both Beyonce and Zheng Yun were inseparable, like blood brother and sister, which is kind of a surprise for those who had not known them.

"It's so good to see you, Beyonce. You look more radiant than the last time." Zheng Yun said softly and with care in his tone, making Beyonce laugh softly but not loosing her elegance, playfully swatting Zheng Yun at his shoulders discreetly.

"Well, you look more relaxed too. Did your new job help with your stress levels?" Beyonce teased, making Zheng Yun glance at her in betrayal, making Beyonce laugh, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"You'd better tell me who that woman is.." Beyonce said to Zheng Yun while smirking, before she leaned in, and whispered into his ears. "'Cause I thought that she is your girlfriend..." At her words, Zheng Yun blushed a bright red, and smacked Beyonce hard on the shoulder.

"What the fish, Beyonce? Mirae is not my girlfriend!" At his astonished expression, Beyonce chuckled at Zheng Yun, making Zheng Yun blush even redder.

"Yeah yeah....Whatever you say...Y'know your big sister knows romance when I sense one and I could sense the romance in the air..." Beyonce teased even more, making Zheng Yun blush even redder, even more loss for words, and without a warning, Beyonce took Zheng Yun by her left and Mirae by her right, and dragged both of them towards the hall where the Grammys is held, making both Mirae and Zheng Yun groan.

"Yeah yeah....let's go and find our seats." Beyonce rolled her eyes, and she continued to drag both Mirae and Zheng Yun into the hall, making them groan in defeat, knowing that there is no way that Beyonce was going to let them go.
