Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor

Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.

The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.

Reborn, he vowed ...

Chapter 114 Not Leaving

Unlike the first video, the latter two videos record the happy scenes of two children playing in the garden.

They were two children, a boy and a girl.

The boy was wearing a black short jacket, and the girl was wearing a red short skirt.

"Wait a minute! Aren't the clothes these two children are wearing just miniature versions of the clothes that Guan's illegitimate son and Ling's illegitimate daughter are wearing right now?" Wei Shu slapped his palm: "Oh! I know, these are what they looked like when they were little! For some reason, this Yang maid is very concerned about these two, and she even kept videos of them when they were little."

The clues were still too few, so the three put the computer back in its place and split up to look for clues again.

Just before noon, the headless skeleton was finally found.

It was found inside a black plastic bag.

The skeleton is not a simple skeleton; there are signs of damage to the bone in its left shoulder, indicating that it had suffered a major trauma before its death.

Soon, in addition to this skeleton, other skeletons hidden in various parts of the villa were also discovered.

Yin Chengjue had discussed the plot with Qin Linlin before and knew what was going on. However, he and Qin Linlin made a three-point agreement: until others figured out the answer, he would pretend not to know.

As more and more skeletons were discovered, someone finally discovered the most crucial issue—the injuries on these skeletons corresponded to the serious physical injuries caused by accidents that these individuals had experienced in their backstories.

However, the adopted daughter injured her shoulder, Steward Liu's left leg is a prosthetic, and Servant Yang's head had been operated on... and so on.

"So, these skeletons aren't someone else's skeletons, but... but our own skeletons! The dead ones are ourselves?" Liu Qingling arrived at an answer that seemed unbelievable, yet was also the closest to the truth.

"My God! I'm getting goosebumps! What's going on?! Does the script we have have supernatural effects?" Guan Haifeng stretched out his hands, revealing the goosebumps standing on end.

Time flew by, and evening arrived. After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to wash up.

The production team recorded for a long time this time, and it will be compressed during editing, so they are not searching for clues all day long.

For privacy reasons, the cameras installed in the rooms are only turned on during the day. The celebrities can turn off the cameras themselves at night and turn them back on the next day after they have finished cleaning up.

When the appointed time arrived, Yin Chengjue used his clairvoyance skill to check his room. Then the phone in the room rang, and Qin Linlin personally called the internal line to inform Yin Chengjue that the room did not contain the treasure they were looking for.

As soon as Yin Chengjue hung up the phone, he turned around and saw the bathroom door being pushed open. Rong Yu was drying her freshly washed hair while leaning against the door, looking at him with a leisurely expression.

Upon seeing Yin Chengjue's gaze, Rong Yu immediately adjusted her expression, blinked, and her eyes, still damp from her shower, appeared somewhat innocent.

Yin Chengjue: "..." Do you think I'm blind?

"Brother, are you a three-character skill card?" Rong Yu asked as she dried her hair and walked towards Yin Chengjue.

"Do you think I'd tell you?" Yin Chengjue took a hairdryer from the bedside table and beckoned Rong Yu to come and sit down.

“If you’re a three-character card that operates at night, I think you can tell me.” Rong Yu obediently walked over and sat down next to Yin Chengjue.

"Oh? Why?"

“Because I am your captain.” Rong Yu opened his palm, revealing a small card with the words “Captain” written on it and “Treasure Hunt Line” written on the back.

Yin Chengjue raised an eyebrow: "You're just revealing your true colors to me like this, aren't you afraid I'm not the person you're thinking of?"

“I’m not afraid.” Rong Yu said decisively, “First, no matter which side you’re on, I’ll tell you my own side. Second, I’m sure you’re not on the detective route, so I can bet 50% that you and I are on the same mission line. Third…”

Rong Yu paused for a moment before saying, "I am confident that even if I tell my brother my trump card, and my brother and I are not on the same mission line, I can still win."

Yin Chengjue casually pinched Rong Yu's earlobe: "I thought you would let me win."

Rong Yu grasped Yin Chengjue's hand, turned her head and lightly kissed Yin Chengjue's fingertips, then looked up at Yin Chengjue and said in a sincere tone, "If that's what you want, brother, I can help you win."

Yin Chengjue leaned closer to him: "Last time, you didn't tell me that you were the murderer."

Rong Yu did not back down as Yin Chengjue approached, but stared straight into Yin Chengjue's eyes: "Brother didn't ask me either. If brother had asked me, I would have told brother."

"Sweet talker." Yin Chengjue lightly stroked Rong Yu's lips with his fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Where did you learn these words? They're so cheesy."

Rong Yu opened her mouth and gently bit Yin Chengjue's fingertip: "These are my heartfelt words, why would I need to learn them?"

"Knock, knock, knock." An untimely knock on the door made the ambiguous atmosphere inside the room somewhat subside.

Yin Chengjue frowned unhappily, and was about to ask a question when Rong Yu covered his mouth.

Rong Yu made a "shh" gesture, then pointed to the clock hanging on the wall of the room, indicating to Yin Chengjue to look.

Yin Chengjue followed his hand and realized that it was already three minutes past midnight. The three rules here are that you cannot leave your room after midnight.

So, who is knocking on the door now?

"Could it be the production crew knocking on the door on purpose? Let's see who opens it?" Yin Chengjue whispered.

“Possibly, because these room doors weren’t originally intended for guests. There are no peepholes on the doors, and they open outwards. If someone tries to open the door to find out what’s going on, they could easily break the rules,” Rong Yu analyzed seriously.

"Then what about us?"

"Never mind."

The two ignored the knocking and Yin Chengjue took out a hairdryer and began to dry Yin's hair.

The hairdryer was so loud it drowned out the noise outside the door. After they finished drying their hair, the knocking stopped.

"Brother, what do you think the treasure we're looking for this time should be? It can't be something so superficial as to be the huge fortune left behind by the deceased villa owner in this story, can it?" Rong Yu asked.

Yin Chengjue: "Who can be sure that the property left by the owner of this villa is necessarily money?"

Rong Yu: "You mean, perhaps the treasure we're looking for is the villa owner's belongings, but we still need to investigate what those belongings actually are. We can follow this direction, right?"

Yin Chengjue nodded. Tomorrow morning, he planned to first go to the villa owner's room to see if there were any relevant clues.

"Go to sleep early," Yin Chengjue said as he took out a sheepskin rope.

Rong Yu: "...Should we tie him up again?"

Yin Chengjue: "No, tonight I want to see exactly how you managed to break free of the ropes and then tie yourself to me." He refused to believe it!

“Um… Brother, actually I think I know some of the reasons.” Rong Yu hesitated and said, “I used to learn some escape techniques and rope-untying methods, so after I was tied up at night, I broke free unconsciously. As for why I tied you up, I don’t really know.”

"It's alright, you can go to sleep first tonight." Yin Chengjue put the rope around Rong Yu's neck.

Yin Chengjue fought off his sleepiness and held Rong Yu in his arms until she fell fast asleep.

Asleep, Rong Yu looked even softer than usual, like a harmless rabbit, obedient and adorable. Yin Cheng suddenly realized that simply watching Rong Yu sleep was a rare pleasure.

An hour passed, then two hours, and Rong Yu remained obediently lying in his arms, only occasionally moving her hands and feet, unconsciously turning over.

Yin Chengjue was a little puzzled. Rong Yu's sleeping posture was fine, so why did it change completely the next day?

As he thought about it, he grew increasingly sleepy. Yin Chengjue yawned, thinking that there should be no problem tonight. He then reached out and pressed Rong Yu closer to his chest. Just as he was about to fall asleep completely, Yin Chengjue suddenly felt his arms go empty!

It's easy to be startled awake when you're half asleep. Yin Chengjue immediately opened his eyes and saw that Rong Yu, who was just sitting comfortably in his arms a second ago, was now sitting up straight!

"Xiao, Yu?" Yin Chengjue instantly woke up and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you going to the toilet?"

Only after asking did I realize that Rong Yu's eyes were still tightly closed, and her eyeballs, hidden under her eyelids, were obviously moving rapidly.

Yin Chengjue reached out to touch Rong Yu, but Rong Yu grabbed his hand in one go!

Wait! Hand!

Rong Yu's hands were already tied up, weren't they?

Yin Chengjue quickly looked down and discovered that the rope binding Rong Yu had fallen onto the bed, with one end of the rope still held in Rong Yu's hand.

A strong sense of unease suddenly rose in Yin Chengjue's heart, and all his sleepiness was driven away! He moved to the side, wanting to get out of bed first.

“Brother…” Rong Yu suddenly murmured.

Yin Chengjue was stunned, but when he looked at Rong Yu's eyes again, he found that the other's eyes were still tightly closed.

"Brother, don't, leave me..." Rong Yu mumbled, his tone like the murmur of a dream.

Yin Chengjue's heart trembled violently upon hearing this.

Did Rong Yu dream about him in her dream?

"Yes, I won't leave." Yin Chengjue opened his arms, pulled the other into his embrace, patted the other's back, and comforted him, "I won't leave."
