After the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the giant centipede incident, Yue Jiuling continued to live a life of just getting by and getting paid. However, after a few days, Feng Meng came to Yue Jiuling again.

Here's what happened: Feng Meng was staying at the Lin family's house, but after staying there for so long and seeing that the young master of the Lin family hadn't had any problems, Feng Meng finally made a request: he wanted to go back to being an actor and asked the Lin family for help.

Although Lin Hui's family was also wealthy and in business, they weren't involved in the entertainment industry. So, they asked the director who had seen the ghost with Feng Meng to help mentor Feng Meng.

"Sister Jiuling, do you think my request is acceptable?"

In the afternoon, in a Chinese restaurant, Feng Meng asked Yue Jiuling a question.

Yue Jiuling drank the juice in her glass, then shook her head and said, "Sure, as long as you like it, nothing else matters."

Today was the day Feng Meng was supposed to meet the director, but before he went to see him, Feng Meng arranged to meet Yue Jiuling.

He asked where Ya Zi was because he didn't see him, and Yue Jiuling said, "Oh, your brother Long? He went home for the holidays recently, so he might not be back anytime soon."

"Oh, so you went back."

Feng Meng glanced at the time on his phone and said, "Sister Jiuling, it's about time, so I'll be going now. Bye-bye~"

"Okay, good luck!"

Seeing Feng Meng leave, Yue Jiuling thought he was going to start working properly. However, less than an hour later, he called again, saying that he had encountered a small problem during the interview and wanted Yue Jiuling to come and check on him.

"Hmm? What's the problem?" Yue Jiuling asked Feng Meng over the phone.

Feng Meng's tone was a bit strange as she said, "Sis, you should come over here. It's hard to explain over the phone. I'll send you my location."

"Um, okay then."

Yue Jiuling really couldn't understand why he would come to her after his interview went wrong, but she still went over.

A dozen minutes later, Yue Jiuling arrived at Feng Meng's location. She saw Feng Meng standing at the entrance of a fruit shop, holding something in his hands and keeping it raised.

"Feng Meng, what's wrong?"

As soon as Yue Jiuling saw Feng Meng, she called out to him, "What are you doing here? Is something the matter?"

"Sister Jiuling, you've finally arrived!" Feng Meng ran to Yue Jiuling as soon as he saw her, then placed what he was carrying in front of her and said, "Sister Jiuling, look at this bamboo. What's wrong with it? I think I heard it talking!"

"say?"

Yue Jiuling initially thought Feng Meng wanted to see her for some reason, but after learning about it, she was both surprised and a little excited.

She reached out and took the piece of bamboo, then held it to her ear to listen, but she couldn't hear anything, let alone what Feng Meng had said.

"No, where is the sound of voices coming from?"

Yue Jiuling initially thought the bamboo spirit had regained consciousness and was talking to Feng Meng, but there was no sound at all. She frowned and asked, "What's going on? How did you hear it talking?"

"It was during my interview that I was a little nervous, so I reached in and pinched a bamboo stalk. As soon as I squeezed it hard, I heard it say something, very softly, 'Don't pinch me, it hurts.'"

Feng Meng was quite surprised at the time. He recalled, "At first, I thought I had misheard. But I didn't expect that after I pinched it again, it cried out in pain again. However, it only cried out twice and then there was no sound. I called you as soon as I finished the interview."

"You mean it makes a sound after you squeeze it?"

After listening to Feng Meng's words, Yue Jiuling tried to pinch the edge of the bamboo, but when she pinched it, nothing happened, just like pinching an ordinary bamboo.

"Tsk~ Why isn't there any response?"

Yue Jiuling looked at the bamboo and asked, "Are you awake or not?"

The bamboo remained unresponsive, just like before. Seeing this, Yue Jiuling sighed and said to Feng Meng, "Hey, by the way, do you have Hao Zhu's phone number? If you do, please call him and ask if he's free to go to the bamboo forest."

"Yes, thankfully we had exchanged contact information beforehand."

Feng Meng quickly took out his phone and called Hao Zhu, since they had worked together before and had each other's contact information.

Fortunately, the other party answered the phone as soon as Feng Meng called. After understanding the situation, the other party said that they would go to the bamboo forest immediately.

“Sister Jiuling, Hao Zhu said he’s going to the bamboo forest right now.”

After hanging up the phone, Feng Meng said to Yue Jiuling.

Yue Jiuling nodded to indicate that she understood: "Okay, I understand. You can keep the bamboo for now. I need to go to the bamboo forest. You can have your interview first."

"Okay, I understand."

Knowing that Yue Jiuling was busy, Feng Meng didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Yue Jiuling was traveling from Feng Meng's place to the bamboo forest, but while she was on her way there, something terrible was happening somewhere in the city!

At 5:07 PM, in an ordinary residential area, a man was arrested by a group of people in police uniforms as soon as he drove back home!

"Don't move! Don't move! We are police officers, and we suspect you are involved in a murder case. Please cooperate with our investigation!"
