Chapter 23: A Ghost Marriage with the Dead Bai Yueguang (Twenty-three)

Inside the Jingang City Public Security Bureau, a messy-haired office worker was brought into the interrogation room. Through the surveillance camera, one could see him rubbing his hands constantly due to anxiety.

"You said you wanted to turn yourself in, so could you please explain what you did?"

The man swallowed his saliva and looked back and forth in the narrow interrogation room. After seeing that the bloody ghosts did not appear for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, tears in his eyes.

"I'll confess, I'll confess everything. Please don't send me away from the police station, I beg you."

He looked so strange that the female officer in charge of recording looked at him speechlessly. She then handed him a bottle of mineral water and said, "We'll talk about this later. First, explain what you did wrong."

The man gave her a grateful look, then took the water and gulped it down before continuing, "I'm the CFO of Xingyao Entertainment. I once helped the current chairman, Qin She, evade taxes... The exact amount is on this USB drive. It also contains evidence of tax evasion by our artists, as well as records of sexual... transactions."

The policeman's gaze turned cold in an instant, and the man shivered with fear.

As the police went to Xingyao Entertainment Company to investigate, several hot searches quietly appeared on the list, and their popularity grew.

[Xingyao Entertainment Company is suspected of tax evasion. It is reported that the CFO surrendered to the police two hours ago! @Xingyao Entertainment Company]

[Guan Leng and Yan Xun...signed a shady contract exposed! @Guan Leng, @Qin She, @Yan Xun...@Xingyao Entertainment Company]

[Several celebrities in the industry have revealed that Yan Xun once threatened them with sexual favors? @Yan Xun]

——Shit! I’m back. This is truly an eye-opener. Yan Xun usually behaves so well. This can’t be possible, right?

——The police have issued a statement @Jingang City Public Security Bureau.

—Oh my god, is this the real deal? And tax evasion... Shit! 1.6 billion... How dare they do that?

How did you steal this? I'm a student and I'm really curious.

——Let me explain it to you this way. For example, Guan Leng has made so many bad movies in recent years. Maybe he is helping Xingyao Entertainment to launder money. There are so many things going in and out that need to be accounted for.

—Hmm? Wait! There seems to be a figure behind the fog outside the yard!!!

—Shit! Don't scare me! Zhaodi finally left... Rich, strong, democratic, civilized, and harmonious. No, I'm going to pull down the national flag hanging in my dad's study and put it on myself. The quilt can no longer give me a sense of security.

The autumn wind is bleak, and one leaf tells us that autumn has come.

However, the village surrounded by pine trees is still green and there is no sign of change with the seasons.

The thick fog was blown away, and the thin layer could no longer cover the ferocious ghosts in it. Yan Xun screamed and rushed back into the yard again. Half of his sleeves dangled miserably in the air, and his arm wrapped in it was being held in the mouth of a ghost with a distorted face in a domineering manner.

The painful roars kept ringing in his ears, becoming smaller and smaller. Yan Xun's face was pale, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead, wetting his long eyelashes. Even though he was born with a good-looking face, it still couldn't save his face which was distorted by pain.

"I don't want to die... I haven't earned enough money to pay for my dad's hospital fees." Xiao Yingying looked at Yan Xun's miserable appearance, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

The fear of ghosts that I had always faced finally found a place to release in blood.

Tian Xiuran next to him was so scared that his legs went weak. He had never seen so many ghosts since he was a child. If Xiao Yingying hadn't cried so loudly and scared his tears back, he would have wanted to cry too.

At this moment, Yu Huo raised his hand and pointed at the live broadcast equipment, sighing, "Crying is useless. If you don't want to die, go to that machine and explain the bad things you have done."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yingying raised her head from her hands. There were still traces of tears on her face, but her expression was doubtful.

However, Tian Xiuran, who worshipped Yu Huo as a Buddha, believed in him without a doubt. He rolled over and got up from the ground and stood in front of the live broadcast equipment in an instant.

"Well...I stole 50 yuan from my mom when I was in first grade. I was too scared to spend it, so I hid it under the bed. But when my mom was cleaning up on Sunday, she found it and dragged me over and beat me up.

There was another incident. In my second year of high school, I wrote a love letter to a girl I had a crush on. Before I could even send it off, the teacher found out because the letter wasn't signed. To protect the person I liked, I framed my deskmate. Her parents called her home and withheld her pocket money for the entire semester... I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

——Hahaha, grab the bamboo shoots!

——Pure Love God of War, I finally got to see it today.

"I'm done, can we leave now?"

Tian Xiuran spoke pitifully, but Yu Huo shook his head: "It's useless whether you say it or not. Have you forgotten what system you are in?"

Tian Xiuran: “…”

Oh, it's a ghost-inviting system. Those people outside are all waiting to take possession of him. Who would care about his confession?

Why didn't you tell me earlier? He exposed all his secrets. Now he's embarrassed and shamed.

With his proofing, Xiao Yingying wiped her face and walked a few steps to the camera.

"The thing I regret most is... ruining the marriage of the singing queen Lin Yin."

——Oh my god!

——This is really... As expected, fear is secondary. The real thing is that you can get the melon from this variety show.

——How can she have the nerve to say that?

——I heard that Lin Yin broke her leg during the concert because she discovered her husband was cheating on her, so the mistress was Xiao Yingying?

Seeing that the comments were about to be drowned in curses, Xiao Yingying was stuck and couldn't organize her next words.

Just when her mind went blank, the young man beside her suddenly asked, "Why?"

Xiao Yingying pursed her lips, then slowly found her voice: "I have no choice. I also want to be clean, but the situation forces me to submit to Yan Xun and the company. If I don't agree to go to the hotel with Lin Yin's husband, I will be banned from the industry and my family is waiting for urgent money. I have no choice..."

As she spoke out the truth bit by bit, everyone gradually regained their sanity. Considering the trending searches that were currently high on Weibo, and the fact that many artists had pointed the finger at Yan Xun and Xingyao Entertainment, no one felt like blaming them anymore.

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, and Lin Yin's husband himself is definitely not a good person. After all, it takes two to tango. One is a wealthy boss, and the other is a rising third-tier female star. Isn't it easy to control him?

Of course, the comments are not one-sided. Everyone has a different perspective on things. The criticism still exists, but the volume is much smaller.

"I'm done..." Xiao Yingying sobbed and looked at Yu Huo. The yard was quiet, and everyone seemed to be watching.

Yu Huo blinked: "Then why don't you just go out and try it."

"Ah?" Xiao Yingying looked fearfully at the ghosts lurking outside the yard: "I'll go out by myself?"
