87 Chapter 87

◎ Release ◎

Old Master Pei had no intention of hiding Pei Yuanzhi's affairs from him.

The entire upper class circle is so small that people soon learned that Pei Yuanzhi had been defrauded of hundreds of millions by a high-end fraud gang.

Word of this matter spread quickly, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Just when Pei Yuanzhi had given up and called the police, the Liu family also learned about it.

When the Liu family heard that Pei Yuanzhi had encountered such a thing, their first reaction was disbelief.

"How could this be possible?" Although Xifen was somewhat dissatisfied with Pei Yuanzhi, she still hoped that Pei Yuanzhi would inherit the Pei family and marry Liu Qingran.

Liu Shuyi also frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

However, Liu Fancheng had already understood the whole matter clearly through his connections in the circle.

"This Pei Yuanzhi! He actually deceived us before! Last time, because of the Korean artist, he lost hundreds of millions. On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant, but in fact, Mr. Pei made three demands. He had to triple the profits of the company assigned to him within three years, otherwise he would be exiled from the center of power of the Pei Group. This time, he took a risk and was defrauded of hundreds of millions more. His current company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Mr. Pei has already designated Pei Yiyuan as the heir."

Liu Fancheng and Xifen didn't notice that Liu Shuyi's eyes flashed after hearing the news.

Liu Fancheng continued, "Fortunately, our Qingran has already drawn a clear line with him."

Liu Fancheng didn't have this attitude before, but he changed after Pei Yuanzhi got into trouble.

Xifen saw this and wanted to say something but hesitated, but finally kept silent.

The whole family tacitly accepted the breakup between Liu Qingran and Pei Yuanzhi.

But afterwards, when Liu Fancheng returned to the study to handle official business, he suddenly thought that if Zhang Li had not intervened, they might have already arranged the engagement between Liu Qingran and Pei Yuanzhi.

But when he thought about how Zhang Li had asked for a huge sum of money, actually asking him to give her 10% of the shares of Liu Group before she would be willing to persuade Liu Qingran, Liu Fancheng had no intention of thanking Zhang Li at all.

"I didn't expect that some people's greed could allow us to escape disaster, humph!"

-

Zhang Li just smiled when he heard Pei Yuanzhi call the police. However, because the gang was very well prepared, had extremely strong concealment techniques, and had already fled abroad, the police investigation progressed slowly.

She was now waiting for news from the people she had sent to investigate the biological parents of Liu Shuyi and Liu Qingran.

This investigation actually allowed Zhang Li to discover that someone was deliberately covering up the truth that the original body and Liu Qingran were swapped.

However, because it happened a long time ago, the investigators are still looking for a key person. I heard that the other party went to settle abroad, so it will take a lot of time.

During this period, Wancheng's expansion continued steadily.

The development of Lingman and the past is in full swing.

"In Search of the Gods" has now passed the review of a certain film company and obtained a license for public screening, but the release date was postponed by Zhang Li.

She wanted to make this movie the clarion call for her attack on the Liu family, and also to use the Liu family's fame to make the entire movie resound throughout China.

During this process, Zhang Li discovered that Liu Shuyi's thoughts were indeed ugly.

One time, Pei Yiyuan called her again.

"Guess who I met today?"

"who?"

"Your biological brother."

Zhang Li finally showed interest. "Are you talking about Liu Shuyi?"

Pei Yiyuan knew that Zhang Li wanted to bring down the Liu family, and she looked down on Liu Shuyi even more.

She mocked him directly, "You have no idea, this Liu Shuyi is really hilarious. He used to keep his distance from me, but now that he knows I'm the heir to the Pei family, he's secretly seducing me. He thinks I'm a naive girl who knows nothing."

Hearing this gossip, Zhang Li couldn't help but sneer.

Pei Yiyuan is different from her. She is not interested in love at all, while Pei Yiyuan is a master in love. Liu Shuyi's little tricks are not enough on Pei Yiyuan.

However, through this incident, Zhang Li became even more certain of Liu Shuyi's ambition.

He saw that Pei Yiyuan would be in charge of Pei Group in the future, so he wanted to be tied to her.

Who would have thought that Pei Yiyuan looked down on him at all.

Just after Pei Yiyuan told her this gossip, the investigators unexpectedly discovered another unexpected clue.

"You're saying that you accidentally discovered someone secretly contacting Liu Shuyi, and following the clues, you discovered that the person had framed Liu Qingran and had also been in contact with Cao Mingyan, who I grew up with?"

"Yes! Boss!"

"I understand. Keep investigating. Find out what this person and Cao Mingyan have been up to over the past few years."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she was completely certain that the person who framed Liu Qingran and put the blame on her was Liu Shuyi.

Of course, this only proves Liu Shuyi's hostility towards her, and cannot confirm the kinship between Liu Shuyi and Liu Fancheng and his wife.

But she didn't expect that Cao Mingyan was actually involved in this matter.

Although she had a vague premonition, after confirming the facts, she still felt sad for the original owner.

Everyone she loved was secretly hurting her deeply.

They 'ate up her flesh' and 'drank up her blood', and they wanted to leave her with nothing but bones.

Although Zhang Li never expected anyone to be nice to her for no reason, at least she could ensure that she could fight back when others hurt her.

But the original body's growth environment was too harsh. Even if she tried to grow upwards, she could not withstand the serious injuries to the people closest to her.

She won't let these people have an easy time.

Zhang Li closed his eyes.

-

The investigation went more and more smoothly, and soon they found the person who had fled abroad and were trying to obtain his information.

At this time, Zhang Li finally gave in and asked the "Soushen" team to prepare for the release.

All of a sudden, publicity for this movie started to spread all over the internet.

The gorgeous and magnificent film style, unprecedented settings, and colorful special effects, netizens were excited as soon as the trailer came out.

[Wow! Infinite flow!! My country, China, is actually producing a futuristic infinite flow movie! And it's related to mythology!]

[Highly praised for the special effects! So stunning! These gods and ghosts are so realistic!]

[Oh my god, this style! So unique! It gives me a completely different feeling!]

[It feels a bit like a combination of Xianxia and wasteland. How could there be special effects that can combine two different styles so perfectly! ...]

What surprised everyone was that although the heroine Zhang Li appeared in the promotional video, she wore a half-face mask throughout the whole process, and there were strange tattoos on the exposed skin. However, her acting skills were obvious, from being indistinguishable from the crowd at the beginning to showing her dominance at the end.

Especially the last scene, which really made the audience excited.

"God? Even God will destroy my hand!!!"

After saying this, Zhang Li tightly gripped the steel gloves, and the patterns on his body suddenly burst out from all over his body, turning into a ball of blazing flames, wrapping Zhang Li.

Then he punched towards those gods and ghosts.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Zhang Li is so handsome!!】

[So handsome, so handsome, so handsome!!!]

So this is a movie about a future world where humans are caught up in an infinite stream of strange stories, and they try to gain divine or ghostly power from that infinite stream to fight against the gods?

Judging from the lines of the heroine played by Zhang Li, is the god in the film a villain? This setting is really interesting!

The last scene reminded me of a saying: If you meet a Buddha, kill him; if you meet an ancestor, kill him! ...

The entry about "Soushen" has been on the hot search for a long time.

Finally, the day of the film's release arrived, and countless viewers who were looking forward to the film flocked to the cinema.

The movie begins with a background introduction. Just as the audience guessed after watching the trailer, humans in the future world have been trapped in an infinite flow world for half a year. This world is full of crises. When everyone is building a base and struggling to survive, a rumor suddenly spreads among the crowd that if they want to return to the real world, they need to find ghosts and gods who have broken through the boundaries, borrow the power of ghosts and gods, and break the shackles.

The plot then gradually unfolds from the heroine's perspective.

The heroine played by Zhang Li does not have a specific name, but is called Ling by people around her.

Ling's situation is very difficult. Based on the lines of other people in the plot, it can be inferred that when she was out exploring with her companions one time, she encountered a crisis, abandoned the companion she could have saved, and ran back by herself. After that, the companion disappeared.

This incident was discovered by chance by two other people, who announced it to the public when they returned.

So Ling became a traitor among the people.

No matter how the spirit explained, no one believed it.

No one was willing to partner with her anymore, so in order to survive, she had to go out alone to look for food.

But one day she went out and didn't show up until the next day. People thought she was dead. But just as the rumor spread, she came back wearing a half-face mask and a body covered in strange tattoos, and she had lost her memory of the time she disappeared.

People thought they had found a way out and didn't even care much about the spirit's return.

Different ideas began to emerge among the crowd. Conservatives felt that they should defend their base and expand outward from the base, while radicals felt that they should burn their boats, otherwise they would never find their way home in this lifetime.

In the end, the two factions had a big quarrel and parted ways.

Ling remained silent and followed the radicals away.

But Ling's situation did not improve. Although the people around her had no intention of hurting her, they avoided her like the plague.

Soon, they received good news. The radical leader, based on his understanding of the gods, led his people to search for traces of ghosts and gods, and finally found the entrance to the world of gods.

But they didn't know that a huge conspiracy was unfolding around them.

The gods' peaceful appearance led them to fall into a trap step by step without them realizing it, and only Ling noticed something was wrong.

She tried to remind others, but was scolded by the people who had already been blinded for doing something bad.

Ostracized by everyone, she was kicked out of the team and began her own adventure.

But as the protagonist, she still has a certain aura. On the way, she met another girl who was left alone outside after all the people in the base entered the world of gods.

The two met in adversity, appreciated each other, and became good friends.

However, unlike the spirits abandoned by the base, the friends who discovered the truth wanted to go back and save the people in their base.

Ling had no choice but to accompany her.

It's just that God seemed to be deliberately against them, and all kinds of troubles came one after another. The two supported each other in the difficulties, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper.

But Ling's good luck seemed to have run out. In a difficult situation, her best friend fell off an endless cliff in order to save her, and she herself was on the verge of death.

It was only at that moment that she finally woke up and remembered her missing memory.

It turns out she was the first to encounter a god, but the god she met betrayed malicious intent from the outset. Using her wit, Ling fought back from a deadly situation, unexpectedly killing the god and unexpectedly gaining his divine power. However, her body couldn't adapt, so she automatically blocked that memory and gained a new tattoo.

But when she was on the verge of death, the divine power in her body finally broke through and protected her.

Ling fell into a coma, and when he woke up, he had a new memory about God in his mind.

It turns out that the gods need fresh living creatures as sacrifices to maintain their existence.

The rumors that spread to humans were deliberately spread by them in order to lure humans to look for them.

So it's all a huge conspiracy from beginning to end!

Ling didn't want to care at first, but with the power of the gods, she detected that her friend was not dead, but floated back to the gods' territory along the river under the cliff.

In order to save her friend, she risked her life and returned to the old place.

But at this time, the gods had already shown their "fangs". They deprived some people of their minds and used others as slaves.

Humans who entered this world fell into a huge crisis.

And her best friend turned out to be one of those who was deprived of his sanity.

When she stepped forward to save her, he turned against her.

The spirit was also forced to be exposed and had no choice but to flee.

What follows is the story of her escaping back to the base, telling everyone the truth, and wanting to unite everyone's strength to rescue others, but no one believes her.

But the gods had already sent people who had lost their minds to encircle and suppress other humans. After discovering this situation, people had no choice but to believe the words of the spirits and finally united and became a team.

Unfortunately, human power is still weak, and the divine power of the spirit cannot protect everyone. The people around her died or were injured.

The gods have come to the outside world and wreaked havoc through the humans they manipulate.

They even deliberately abused those they controlled in front of the surviving humans.

Seeing that his good friend was among them, Ling finally turned completely evil.

At the cost of burning her own body functions, she allowed the divine power in her body to surge rapidly, and then she uttered the line from the promotional video.

"God? Even God will destroy my hand!!!"

Then she rushed towards the gods alone.

At first the gods were dismissive, but when they discovered that the spirits, with the help of human body functions, became more and more courageous and began to slaughter them wantonly, they began to panic.

They counterattacked, but Ling was not afraid of death at all.

Even though they defended themselves, they could not withstand the slaughter of the spirits.

When they finally tried to escape, there were only a few of them left.

Ling used his last bit of potential to kill all the fleeing gods.

Finally, when she dragged her broken body back to the original place, she only had time to look at her friend who had not yet regained consciousness before she fell down.

The entire movie, whether it is the actors' acting skills or the special effects details, is handled extremely well, making the audience immersed in it.

Especially the meeting, acquaintance, mutual support and subsequent tacit understanding between Ling and her friends are extremely touching.

So much so that when Ling took a last look at his friend and fell down, countless emotional viewers burst into tears.

At the end of the movie, no one was told whether Ling was dead or his friend had regained his sanity.

Only at the end, the big screen was pitch black, but the voices of many people calling from far and near could be heard.

"Spirit! Our spirit! Wake up! Wake up..."

This seems to indicate that the spirit is not completely dead.

But when the audience's hopes were ignited, the film's end credits and ending song had already begun to play.

The audience just felt lost.

"This is the foreshadowing for the second part! Holy crap, this is so exciting!!"

"OMG! How can Zhang Li's acting be so good? I, a grown man, almost cried!"

"Oh my god! This movie is so good! I will definitely recommend it to everyone around me!"

"It's unbelievable that our country can produce such a movie!..."

Many film critics have been waiting for "In Search of the Gods" for a long time. After watching it, they are even more excited than ordinary audiences.

Soon, reviews of the movie began to pour in online.

[A masterpiece! This is absolutely a masterpiece! It allows me to see the future of Chinese cinema! ]

As a film critic, I surprisingly find this movie impeccable. While it lacks a traditional love storyline, the friendship and plot are incredibly engaging. Especially Zhang Li, the leading actress, who managed to deliver such a stunning performance in her debut film. I heard she was also the film's coordinator, overseeing every detail before finalizing the film. I have to say, Zhang Li is truly exceptional!

[Oh my god, I'm a film critic, and I'm actually a fan of Zhang Li's acting. Her acting is absolutely explosive. Although the other actors are also very good, she is definitely the top one!]

[Ox, there is no other adjective besides ox! ...]

There isn't a single review on the internet that criticizes this movie.

These film reviews quickly topped the hot search list with the term #“Soushen” is coming strongly#.

The comment section under the entry was filled with "ahs," with viewers who had watched the movie expressing their strong feelings.

[It looks great! Come on! ! ! !]

This movie definitely deserves a high score from me! It's so good! It's really so good! I'm already looking forward to the second part! !

[I just finished watching the premiere and I’m already ready to rewatch it!!]

[Looking at the last part, Ling is definitely not dead! There are still some unresolved mysteries in the previous part. Were all the gods killed?! Production team, please release a second part!!! ...]

Countless people who saw the entry became extremely curious, and then went into the cinema with half-belief and half-doubt, and then became part of the group howling online.

"In Search of the Gods" became a huge hit, an explosive one, and the attendance rate began to remain high.

It carries the names of Zhang Li and other actors and is always on the hot search list.

But on the third day, a big V on the Internet suddenly revealed a big piece of news.

[Have you heard? It turns out Zhang Li's identity is actually quite impressive...]
