Chapter 464 The Real World (2) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

In addition to consulting Zhang Nuoke on emotional issues every day, Bai Jinshu has actually become increasingly busy during this period.

Of course, the initial purpose was to make money. Although Delmis earned a lot of points this time, compared with the value of the [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness] S+ space, this amount of money thrown in would only make a small difference.

Old Wu remembered that he wanted to make money, so he carefully selected several variety shows and planned to let him choose one that he was interested in to be a regular guest. As a result, Bai Jinshu looked through the schedules of these variety shows and found that the shorter language variety shows were recorded at least once a week, and the slightly longer outdoor variety shows were recorded every two to three weeks or a month. Although the money was high, he was not suitable to be a regular guest in these variety shows because he didn't know when he would disappear.

After hearing his reasons, Old Wu's expression was as if he was looking at a tyrant. His face was full of disbelief that "you can't even spare time to record the weekly variety show so that you can go out on a date and fall in love anytime."

Bai Jinshu's non-existent conscience trembled slightly for a moment.

"Oh my god," Old Wu fell back in disbelief, slumping into the sofa. "It's terrible that the old house is on fire."

A few months ago, if someone had told him that Bai Jinshu would end up in a relationship like this, he would definitely laugh out loud three hundred times and ask himself whether the other person was crazy or he was crazy.

Now he couldn't laugh.

"Even if you're not a regular, you have to go to more variety shows," Old Wu lay on the sofa doubting his life for more than ten minutes, then sat up again, "You have to cooperate with the promotion."

The character of the necromancer was one of the big bosses in this film after all, so when the crew promotes Bai Jinshu, they have to promote him as well.

"That's no problem," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Please check the schedule."

Old Wu shut up with satisfaction.

In addition to variety shows, Bai Jinshu has also taken on a bunch of miscellaneous advertising endorsements during this period.

Most of it was done by the rich second generation. The gossipers spread the news about Huai Jiamu, and finally everyone wanted to join in the fun. When it comes to joining in the fun, one should not hit a smiling person. It just so happened that Bai Jinshu needed to make money recently, and after everyone discussed it, Lao Wu suddenly had a lot of endorsements.

Bai Jinshu was familiar enough with them that he did not refuse and accepted it frankly, as a token of his gratitude to everyone, and he would repay them in the future through exploration projects.

In addition to these two money-making schedules, returning to the public eye means that there will be more small things to do. Friends who came to visit him after the car accident need to be returned to maintain the relationship. Friends in the circle are invited to guest star in music videos. Brand activities require him to wear endorsement products to show his face. Friends who are close to him send messages to invite him to the concert.

The last car accident left Old Wu with a deep psychological trauma. He could no longer travel around the country with Bai Jinshu, so he assigned him an assistant, Brother Gao, to drive. It was said that he was a retired soldier from the army and drove a tank before becoming his assistant.

Bai Jinshu was simply amazed by Old Wu's connections.

Tanks and cars can't be driven in the same way, right? Where did they find these talented people?

Bai Jinshu originally wanted to use his original assistant Xiao Wang but he refused. However, the new assistant Brother Gao was a really good driver and a very nice person, a very amiable and kind old man with a scar on his face, which reminded him of Lu Changfeng.

According to him, the scar on his face was caused by an injury during a mission. The situation was urgent and there was no time to deal with it immediately. Later, he could not recover well and left the scar. However, Lu Changfeng never told them how he got the scar on his face.

The new assistant was a retired soldier. Standing next to Bai Jinshu, he was dressed in black like a bodyguard. With the conspicuous scar on his face, Huai Jiamu, who was not very conspicuous in the baseball cap, looked even less conspicuous.

Basically, as long as Brother Gao stands aside and doesn't say anything to reveal his nature as a good guy, most people will think that he is Bai Jinshu's bodyguard.

Bai Jinshu: ...He now suspects that this is the fundamental reason why Lao Zhang chose Brother Gao.

But except for himself, almost everyone was full of praise for his new bodyguard... oh, not the new assistant.

"Where did you find this assistant?" In the makeup room backstage of the variety show, his friend Rao Xian was very interested, "I want one too."

"Don't you have an assistant?" Bai Jinshu asked curiously.

He remembered that Rao Xian's assistant was a girl wearing black-framed glasses. She liked to order milk tea very much. She and Rao Xian were in cahoots with each other. During her fat-loss period, he often secretly poured three-point sugar milk tea into Rao Xian's thermos cup without the knowledge of his agent.

"Xiao Yuan has resigned, and I don't have a good relationship with the company. I don't want to use their staff, and I'm preparing to recruit an assistant myself recently," Rao Xian leaned over and greeted Brother Gao, "Brother Gao, do you have any comrades who retired with you who also want to be your assistant?"

"Yes," Brother Gao nodded, "Miss Rao, what are your conditions?"

"Let me think...are there any girls?" Rao Xian thought for a moment, "I want an assistant who is good at fighting and can counterattack with one move. She is about fifty years old, about 1.75 meters tall, and weighs 90 kilograms!"

"So detailed?" Bai Jinshu twitched his lips. "What do you want to do?"

Rao Xian rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's fight this stupid company!"

Bai Jinshu: ...

I can see that the relationship between you two is really not good.

"By the way," after adding Brother Gao on WeChat, Rao Xian suddenly remembered something, straightened her skirt, and came over to lower her voice, "When I came here just now, I saw people arguing outside."

"Fighting?" Bai Jinshu turned his head. "Is there a problem with the filming later?"

These are probably the reasons why quarrels break out on set.

"No," Rao Xian shook her head, "because He Chuling hasn't arrived yet."

"He Chuling?" Bai Jinshu looked at his watch. "You haven't arrived yet? It's getting late."

Rao Xian was talking about the variety show hosts. There are four permanent hosts for this variety show, and He Chuling is the only female among them. Her pre-makeup preparation time is longer than that of the other three.

There is only half an hour left before the recording starts and she hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid she will be too late.

Although the program was not live but recorded in advance, the audience outside had basically all entered the venue and everyone backstage was almost ready. Everyone in the audience was waiting for him. No wonder the director was angry.

"Yeah," Rao Xian blinked, "and I heard that this is not the first time she is late."

"There have been reports online from audience members who have been to the event that the original recording time was 2pm, but it actually started at around 3pm. This situation did not happen just once or twice, but has been going on for several months."

The recording cycle of this variety show is once a week. Occasionally, there will be delays and the recording will start some time later than the original scheduled time.

At first the audience thought it was a problem with on-site coordination, but after it was delayed for more than two hours, someone suddenly came out and revealed that every delay was actually because the host He Chuling was late and everyone had to wait for her.

"Is it He Chuling who is late?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "It sounds like she did it on purpose."

It sounds like playing big, but no one would play big so stupidly, right?

After all, she is the regular host of the show, and being late will do her no good.

"I also thought it was intentional before," Rao Xian dragged his chin, "but my friend has been on this show before, and he told me that He Chuling didn't seem right."

"What's wrong?" Bai Jinshu asked casually.

"In terms of mental state," Rao Xian muttered as he flipped through the chat history. "He told me that He Chuling was in a very tense state. At that time, one of their game sessions was to blindfold each other and fight with foam lightsabers. Whoever got hit first would lose. And for some reason, He Chuling was particularly afraid of being blindfolded. She tried several times but it didn't work. She would tremble as soon as she was blindfolded. In the end, we had to cut her part."

That doesn't sound right.

"And that's not all. Later, when we were playing a game of holding breath in water, my friend stood behind her and saw a faint purple bruise on her back after it was wet by the water," Rao Xian whispered. "The location of the bruise didn't look like it was caused by cupping, but rather by being hit by a blunt object. And it wasn't just that one place, there were also some on her ankles, and we don't know how many more bruises there were on other places that weren't wet by the water."

"She was beaten?" Bai Jinshu was really confused now.

No matter what, He Chuling is a well-known host. Didn’t she call the police after being beaten?

"I don't know, but I think my friend saw her once. Maybe she was late a few times before because she was injured," Rao Xian handed over her phone. "Look, I looked it up before I came here. When He Chuling was recording before, her dressing style was more lively. Most of the time, she wore skirts or shorts. But there were a few episodes that were very abnormal. She would cover herself from head to toe."

He Chuling's look of wrapping herself up from head to toe makes one look hot. Normally, as a host who records this program once a week, she cannot be unaware that it would be uncomfortable to wear this.

"You said she was late and dressed like this," Rao Xian curled her lips slightly, "Maybe it has something to do with the injuries on her body."

"Isn't this domestic violence?" Bai Jinshu's new assistant Brother Gao interrupted.

"He Chuling is not married, and she doesn't have a public boyfriend," Rao Xian shook her head slightly, "But after these wounds were discovered, she never explained, and there was also that stress reaction..."

She paused and nudged Bai Jinshu with her elbow: "Anyway, pay attention during the recording later. Something must be wrong. I think He Chuling might have encountered something."

"Besides, there is no news from the outside world right now. This matter may become a big news later." She turned off her phone and put on her lipstick. "Just wait and see."

Rao Xian originally meant to say that there must be some hidden story behind He Chuling's injury, and when the secret is revealed it will become big news.

But the speaker did not intend it, and no one expected that this big news would appear not long after.

He Chuling arrived more than 40 minutes late. Not long after the recording started, in full view of everyone, the host He Chuling suddenly fainted on the spot while recording and was directly carried into the ambulance by the staff.

The ambulance stretcher was snow-white in color, and He Chuling's concealer faded when it rubbed against it, revealing a faintly covered purple-blue wound.

Recording emergency stop.

"Oh my god, I guess we can't record today," Rao Xian was still frightened. "Three out of the four hosts were injured. Is that so weird? Could it be that I talked nonsense before the recording? Just ignore what I said."

When He Chuling fell, she was standing in front of the table, and the table fell down with her. The host standing on her left quickly helped her up, but He Chuling fell in a very tricky position, and in order to hold her up, the host twisted his waist.

It happened so fast that no one could react. The other host standing opposite He Chuling was scratched on the arm by the fallen table. The wound was not deep, but very long, and several drops of blood appeared.

There are only four hosts in total. One of them fainted, one cannot move, and one was injured. The ambulance simply took them to the hospital. This program cannot be recorded.

"When the incident happened just now, you were closer to He Chuling than I was," Rao Xian asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything? Was she really injured? Was she really being abused?"

Bai Jin said: "I didn't look carefully, she was wearing long sleeves."

"By the way, I have an appointment tonight. Since I can't record it, I have to go first." He shook his phone and waved at Rao Xian, "See you later."

"See you later," Bai Jinshu said nothing. Rao Xian also lost interest in discussing the matter. He just wanted to go home and take a nap. "By the way, remember to remind your bodyguard to find me a retired comrade who knows Sanda!"

I still remember this.

Lao Gao went to the parking lot to drive his car. Another life assistant, Xiao Wang, helped him carry his bag and handed him a cell phone: "Brother Bai, it's Brother Huai's phone number."

Why did Huai Jiamu call him?

Bai Jinshu answered the call in surprise. The voice on the other end was indeed the other party's: "Are you ready to finish work and go home?"

"How do you know I'm going home?" Bai Jin asked curiously.

According to normal procedures, this program will take at least three or four hours to record. Huai Jiamu has his schedule, so why did he call in advance today?

"I saw online that something went wrong during your variety show recording session and the host fainted."

Bai Jinshu blinked and understood.

The program recording was terminated, and the audience would definitely post this incident online. Huai Jiamu saw it and called.

"The person who fainted in the show..." Huai Jiamu paused.

"You saw it too?" Bai Jinshu lowered his voice, "I'll tell you when I get back."

He certainly didn't tell the truth to Rao Xian.

After he went on stage, he stood very close to He Chuling, with only one person between them. Because of Rao Xian's behavior, before starting the recording, Bai Jinshu actually paid a few more glances at the only female host He Chuling.

Bai Jinshu has sharp eyes, and since everyone is on the stage, observing with the naked eye is naturally clearer than observing with the long-range shots specially selected after the variety show was edited.

He Chuling really had injuries on her body, and her complexion was very bad. Even under the thick foundation, one could see her huge purple dark circles and pale skin.

Bai Jinshu silently compared the color of his own skin.

His skin color is relatively fair among the crowd, which is especially obvious in group photos, but He Chuling's skin is whiter than his, and it's not that healthy warm white, but a very stiff dead white.

As an artist, he knew that most of the cosmetics used by his peers were similar to his skin color. Even if he didn't bring his own, the makeup artist would choose a similar color. But the foundation on He Chuling's face didn't match her pale complexion at all. It actually looked darker and more yellowish than her skin color.

With so many fill lights on the stage, He Chuling's face, which was covered by foundation, looked fine. Apart from the thick makeup, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it. However, the skin exposed was so white that it was shocking and made people feel creepy.

Bai Jinshu felt something was not right at that time.

This skin color doesn't look like the color of domestic violence. It looks like it has been locked up in a dark place for many days, or has some serious illness.

He Chuling has to come out to record the show every week, so it’s impossible that she has been locked up for so many days. Does that mean there is something wrong with her health?

She was also dressed very tightly today, with a waist-revealing short T-shirt and a baseball jacket on the upper body, and overalls on the lower body. The overall skin exposure was very low, with basically only a small part of the waist exposed.

It seems that the exposed part is not injured.

As for other parts of her body, Bai Jinshu focused on the arms, which were the most vulnerable part in a fight. He successfully saw that there was indeed a purple mark on her forearm when she moved more violently.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that after He Chuling fainted, the staff hurriedly found a stretcher and carried her back to the backstage. Bai Jinshu accidentally saw that there was a very faint white mark on the back of the jade bracelet on her left wrist that was hanging next to the stretcher.

The mark was even whiter than her pale skin.

That wasn't a beating.

It's sun-dried.

That's a watch mark.

He Chuling should be a member of the foundation's exploration team.

*

In this world, there is a group of investors, the rich second generation that he knows, and there must also be a group of exploration team members.

However, He Chuling should be the first exploration team member Bai Jinshu truly met in the real world.

On the way home, he first used the name search method on his watch to search for members of the exploration team. There were hundreds of people named He Chuling, which was not rare, but not common either.

Among this bunch of "He Chuling", Bai Jinshu tried to search the forum with the investor's account, but did not see any investor who mentioned this name.

He Chuling is a well-known host who is also good-looking. Her popularity soared after hosting this variety show. People who often surf the Internet or chase stars have more or less seen clips about this variety show and know her.

If she had appeared in the Foundation's unknown space with her true identity before, she should have been discovered after appearing a few more times.

Now there is no content related to her in the forum, which means that He Chuling, like him, entered using a fake identity.

However, compared to him, He Chuling's fixed attribute is most likely not combat expertise, and she herself is not good at fighting, so she always comes out with injuries every time she enters an unknown space.

Bai Jinshu flipped through the videos of previous shows and found that the bracelet she usually wore was a very wide tire bracelet. The water quality was average and not very transparent, and the circumference was obviously inappropriate and much smaller.

He Chuling said that this bracelet was given to her by her grandmother, so it didn't fit her hand and the quality was average, but the old lady's kindness was precious. Now it seems that it was only specially selected to cover the mark of the watch.

Huai Jiamu saw the photo online and noticed the watch mark. So other people in the real world who knew about the foundation might have also seen her watch mark.

Her identity has been exposed.

Bai Jinshu was not a nosy person, but who knows what kind of trouble would befall him if he exposed his identity as a member of the exploration team in the real world. The foundation had a lot of enemies, and they had brought down an investment bank. Who knew if there would be more people in the dark who were targeting the foundation members.

After leaving the unknown space and returning to their own real world, no matter how powerful the team members' fixed attributes are, they are just mortal beings.

It is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. He Chuling might be targeted.

Among the photos currently revealed online, there are only one or two that clearly show He Chuling's wrist. One of the photos was blurry and nothing could be seen. It was the other photo that Huai Jiamu noticed the clue.

Bai Jinshu found out which hospital the ambulance that arrived yesterday went to, and made an appointment with Rao Xian. The next day, he and Huai Jiamu went to the hospital where He Chuling was currently.

The person guarding the ward was He Chuling's assistant. Bai Jinshu and Rao Xian were both guests present yesterday. Bai Jinshu made up an excuse, saying that he came to visit her after he saw her fainted yesterday and was worried about her condition.

He and Huai Jiamu came to scout the place. After finding out the location, they planned to find someone to wait here every day to see who would come to He Chuling's ward after seeing the photo of the wrist.

Rao Xian was a person of true character. She told her assistant that if He Chuling was subjected to domestic violence, then the news should be exposed and the public should curse the man to death.

He Chuling's assistant looked sweaty and kept saying that it was not true. Sister He was single and the wounds on her body were caused by practicing the Sanda class she had recently signed up for.

After Bai Jinshu determined the location, he was ready to go back. As luck would have it, just as he left the hospital and got in the car and switched the identity logged in on his combat watch, a message from more than ten days ago suddenly popped up.

Yun Guang: [Skao, a member of our organization may have encountered an accident. Do you have time to solve it? ]

Someone got into trouble?

Bai Jinshu's eyes moved slightly. Yun Guang sent him a message more than ten days ago. In the past, he might have seen it immediately, but during this period of time, he was communicating with Cyber ​​Creator Zhang Noke every night, and he hadn't checked the message from [Skao] for a long time.

It was common knowledge in [0106] that Scarao would not appear often. Yun Guang did not expect to get an immediate reply. There was no relevant content on the message board asking for help, which meant that the matter was not very urgent.

Bai Jinshu opened the dialog box and replied: [What accident? ]

Yun Guang took a long time to reply: [A member of the base space who has a good relationship with Xiaoying may be trapped in the project. ]

This sentence can be translated as: A Gu King died.

Yun Guang: [When Xiaoying first became friends with him, she had a life card of his in her hand. If the card is not broken, the owner of the life card will not be in danger of death.]

It seems to be the Gu King of urban fantasy novels.

Yun Guang: [Now this member has not returned, but the life card is not broken. Xiaoying suspects that he is not dead but is trapped in an unknown space. She wants to go to that space to take a look, but this situation is relatively rare, and she cherishes her life, so she wants to increase the success rate...]

Just ask the captain to help?

Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows but did not agree immediately: [Send me the information first.]

This is the first time I've heard of such a situation.

The author has something to say:

Oh my god, I just remembered at the end that the new copy doesn’t have a name yet!

Why does each instance have to be named? Hantang should have named it Space One and Space Two (fiercely)
