As the minutes passed, the media comments on the Jackson case gradually heated up, but Anna's confidence and hope for Xiao Yang gradually faded, and the frequency of looking at her watch became more and more frequent, from once in half an hour at dinner, to once every half an hour and once every 15 minutes in the evening news period, and then to once every five minutes near midnight.

Seeing that the hour hand was about to point to zero, the disappointment in Anna's eyes became more and more obvious, Xiao Yang felt a little lost in his heart, but his face showed indifference, "I just said that it doesn't matter if you lose your words once in a while, not to mention think about it from another angle, you have earned my next chance to predict......"

He was interrupted by a sudden ringing of the phone, it was his economist Brian, who called, "Watch the CNN news channel, right away!" ”

Turning to CNN, Bart Fields, the lead defense attorney of Jackson's team, was talking to the camera: "...... The prosecution will drop all charges against Michael, as well as the criminal charges filed by the District Attorney's Office...... Yes, this decision was also made by Jackson himself, and while we have sufficient and reliable evidence to win the case, there are already too many people, including Michael himself, who have been hurt by this, and he just wants everything to end as soon as possible, so we have made quite generous concessions on the terms of the settlement...... I'm sorry to be inconvenient to disclose the exact terms, but I can tell you for sure that this is a mutually acceptable condition......"

"Finally!" Xiao Yang couldn't help but clench his fists hard, and subconsciously looked up at his watch, 11:55 a.m.!

It wasn't until things happened as he expected and expected that he realized that his heart was not as careless as he had appeared.

Anna next to her directly entered the petrified state, she looked at Bart Fields who was being interviewed by a CNN reporter in a daze, as if she couldn't believe her eyes at all, Xiao Yang patted her shoulder kindly, "Friendly reminder, about our previous bet ......"

Anna casually pushed his arm aside, "Don't interject! ”

Xiao Yang understood carefully, "Okay......"

Anna, whose attention was completely attracted by the news, didn't have time to pay attention to the small actions he made in the back, and couldn't get her active cooperation, Xiao Yang couldn't successfully get the "benefits" she deserved, so she had to slap her with her hand, "Honey, do you mind helping the handle?" ”

Anna grabbed him with her backhand and asked in surprise, "I didn't understand correctly, they reached a settlement agreement?" ”

Tap ...... Hurt! Xiao Yang gasped, "From the literal meaning of that barrister, it should be like this." ”

"But, this ...... How is this possible? Anna looked at him suspiciously, "This is not what you agreed with Michael Jackson, right?" ”

How could Xiao Yang admit that he had been in contact with Anthony Pericano in private, and the two sides also reached a verbal agreement, "No, I have never met M.J, with his fame and status, there is no need to compromise in order to fulfill my prophecy." ”

"So...... Did you really foresee this? Seeing Xiao Yang nodding with a smile, Anna was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly let out an extremely excited scream, and the whole person jumped up from the sofa and threw him down on the carpet like a predatory female leopard.

Immediately after, their front teeth collided gorgeously.

Then I heard Brian's grumbling voice coming out of the receiver of the phone: "Please, you two, hang up the phone before you do something unseemly, okay?" ”

Covering their mouths and looking at each other for a moment, they both laughed at the same time.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Yang stopped Brian, "Do you know what to do next?" ”

Brian understood what he meant, Jackson's side was stuck at this critical juncture before midnight to announce the news of the out-of-court settlement to the outside world, which was almost equivalent to helping him realize his prophecy in the face of doubts, such a contrast between first suppressing and then rising, undoubtedly more eye-catching than a smooth sailing success, so taking advantage of his reputation again to release the news of the Oscar prediction will naturally cause a frantic scramble among the media.

Anna also guessed his thoughts, and after he hung up the phone, he asked, "You seem to have promised yourself just now, I have earned your next chance to prophecy?" ”

"The premise is that you win the bet, but unfortunately, I won, even though it was only a few minutes away, but unfortunately you have to face competition from other media again." Xiao Yang smiled and raised his chin towards the lubricating oil that had been prepared for a long time, "Are you ready to cash in on your bet, dear?" ”

In addition to the excitement, Anna finally opened her mind and body to Xiao Yang, and while they were fully committed to fulfilling the gambling contract, they did not know how many radio and television stations were frantically relaying the settlement statement exclusively reported by CNN, and I didn't know how many people were thrown off their jaws and glasses by the shocking reversal of the situation.

The next day, when Xiao Yang was woken up by the first rays of sunlight in the morning, his surroundings were empty as usual, and it was estimated that the little woman with an extremely strong career would probably run back to the station early in the morning to catch up with the news, so he walked out of the bedroom naked and prepared to take a shower, but unexpectedly saw Anna, who was dressed professionally, fiddling with the camera in front of the desk in the living room.

"Isn't it, still coming?" Seeing that she aimed the camera at her almost defenseless self with malicious intentions, Xiao Yang subconsciously raised her hand to protect her chest, "Don't forget that we have already come last night...... 4 times or 5 times? ”

"Don't be sentimental, although your combat power is impressive, I just finished taking a shower and putting on my makeup, so I definitely don't want to spend another half an hour or more going through these procedures all over again." Anna gestured to the chair behind the table and motioned for him to sit down, "Don't forget that you promised me a second announcement, don't you think now is the perfect time to release it?" ”

Xiao Yang looked at the sky outside the window, "But it's not even 6 o'clock yet!" ”

"That's because I have to drive half an hour to the station and spend the same amount of time editing to catch the 8 a.m. news as much as possible." Anna picked up his shirt from the back of her chair and tossed it over, "Put it on - or do you want to be photogenic like that?" ”

Xiao Yang glanced around, "What about the pants?" ”

Anna shook her head, "No, anyway, the camera only shines on the upper body, and no one will know even if you don't wear underwear." ”

“…… All right! ”
