Chapter 710: The Face of the Dead

Before this, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Firstly, the child behaved very appropriately every time he visited Qiu Linshan, making it hard to suspect that she had such a high level of mental fortitude that she could frequently appear in front of the victim as if nothing had happened after committing a bad deed.

Secondly, the company's actions are understandable. Qiu Linshan's face is already in such a state, and her acting career is clearly ruined. They can't put all their eggs in one basket. It's only a matter of time before they promote a newcomer.

But now that Ye Wanxi has brought it up, thinking about these things again is somewhat terrifying.

"Do you have any recent photos of her? Not the kind that's been photoshopped, I want to see them."

This matter concerns whether Qiu Linshan was truly harmed by a villain, and Madam Qiu was very proactive: "I will have someone investigate immediately, Miss Ye, please wait a moment."

"Um."

Mrs. Qiu went out for about ten minutes, and the people she found were naturally her brother and sister-in-law.

While instructing them to find a recent photo of Yan Chunru, he also mentioned Qiu Linshan's situation to them.

Upon learning that Ye Wanxi truly had a way to save their daughter, and even a way to restore her appearance, the couple almost burst into tears of joy on the spot.

Of course, Madam Qiu didn't hide the price Ye Wanxi quoted from them. The two of them had a similar attitude to Madam Qiu, or even more so, and wished they could rush to the scene right now to pay the money in case Ye Wanxi changed her mind.

About ten minutes later, Madam Qiu finally received a message from her brother and sister-in-law, and also received a recent photo of Yan Chunru.

Upon seeing Yan Chunru's photo, Ye Wanxi's expression changed drastically: "This person..."

The hearts of everyone present jumped: "What happened?"

"Something's not right. She clearly has the face of a dead person."

"What?" The Qiu family aunt and niece, who had already become suspicious of Yan Chunru, never expected Ye Wanxi to come to such a conclusion.

"What do you mean by the face of a dead person? She's dead? But she's clearly alive and well now. Could it be that she... is a ghost?"

"Could it be that it was already possessed by that evil spirit? That's terrifying!"

The group shuddered at their own guess.

Ye Wanxi thought a little deeper: "Ghosts aren't the only ones capable of possessing people. We'll have to see for ourselves to know the truth. Do we know where she is now?"

"We know." In addition to the photos, Qiu Linshan's parents also sent her recent updates.

"She is currently filming in the TV series 'Like a Dream', playing the female lead."

Ye Wanxi took Mrs. Qiu's phone and glanced at it.

"..."

Good heavens, this film crew is just a few kilometers away from where she is now. Specifically, they are at one end of the film city and the other is at the other end, forming a diagonal line.

That's not all. The most important thing is that the male lead in the TV series she's currently filming is Jiang Shaofeng!

"Miss Ye, is something wrong?"

"have."

"What's wrong?"

“Nothing’s right! The actor playing the male lead in the film she’s in now is my brother.”

"Your brother?"

"Hmm." He's her fourth senior brother's older brother, so by all accounts he's her brother.

Ye Wanxi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and had a gut feeling that this matter might be very troublesome.

"Now then..."

"Tomorrow I'll go see her under the guise of visiting the set. If she really is something harmful, I'll take care of her myself."

Madam Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. If it were just a person, that would be fine. If they really found out that the fire back then was related to her, they could at least take action themselves and vent their anger for Qiu Linshan.

But if they weren't human, they definitely couldn't solve it on their own. But if they didn't resolve it soon, and if what happened back then really had something to do with her, who knows if he would take drastic measures again once Qiu Linshan's health improved.

Just to be on the safe side, let Ye Wanxi go and check it out first. If anything goes wrong, it's best to nip it in the bud!

The meal lasted a very long time, and although they ordered a large table of dishes, none of them had much of an appetite.

Qiu Linshan's injuries have been healed, which should be a joyous occasion, but the unknown nature of the enemy makes them dare not relax their tense nerves easily.

Ye Wanxi thought the same thing. Yan Chunru's appearance was unusual, and she was very likely to know how to use vengeful ghosts to do things for her. Whether she was a demon or a ghost, she had to find out the truth.

The next morning, Ye Wanxi did not go to Jiang Shaofeng's film crew immediately, but returned to her own film crew first, intending to ask for leave before going there.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Yao Jinwei, who looked dejected, as soon as I arrived.

As soon as Ye Wanxi saw the two big dark circles under Yao Jinwei's eyes, she immediately guessed what had happened.

"Do you know who that scoundrel who's been spying on you is?"

Yao Jinwei forced a smile, but ultimately failed, replying listlessly, "Mm."

Rewind to last night. Ever since Ye Wanxi warned her to be careful of the villains around her, Yao Jinwei has suspected almost everyone connected to her, even the company's front desk security guard.

In half a day, she wandered around the entire company, finally getting the answer she wanted in her agent's office.

Yao Jinwei still finds it hard to believe that such a sweet-voiced little girl could be so scheming.

While happily calling her "sister," she cursed her in her heart for being a country bumpkin, saying that even in designer clothes she didn't look like a celebrity and exuded a rustic air.

While praising her looks and good skin, they secretly imagined that she had obtained her resources through illegitimate means and that she had risen to the top by selling her body.

While inquiring about her situation on set and secretly seeking information about Ye Wanxi, she secretly prayed that something would happen to one of the actors in their crew, so that their movie might be halted, she could fall out with her agent, and Ye Wanxi could seize the opportunity to take her place.

Yao Jinwei listened to her say one thing and mean another, and almost burst out laughing on the spot. In the end, she practically floated out of the agent's office.

"Don't you think kids these days are all precocious? She's only sixteen and she's already got so many tricks up her sleeve. Instead of thinking about how to improve herself, she's always looking down on this and that, trying to mess with this and that. Does she think she's in a palace drama, killing one person at a time, just waiting to have the last laugh? It's clear that the school hasn't given her enough homework."

Yao Jinwei spoke with a hint of gritted teeth at the end, but then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly deflated.

Actually, what really broke her heart wasn't this younger sister, because this younger sister had only just joined the company this year. No matter how much Yao Jinwei liked her, their contact was limited, so their feelings for each other naturally didn't go very far.

What hurt her most was that the mastermind behind the whole thing was the person she was closest to and least willing to suspect over the years.
