Because, when the monkey-shaped music box was brought to the bearded middle-aged man, he slowly raised his eyes...

Looking at the music box, I heard the middle-aged man singing the lines in a rather sad tone: [It is truly a collection of things. Every detail is just as she said. She often mentioned you, my friend...your velvet lining and this little statue. When we are all gone, will it still play?]

This rather sad performance kicks off the story...

In the audience, Ye Qingcao, who was enjoying the performance, whispered, "This must be a very important character. He looks like he has a story, right?"

Yu Sangzhi reminded her weakly, "He is Huo Feng."

"Ah?" Ye Qingcao was stunned for a moment!

She immediately turned to look at the stage. The distance wasn't that far, so how could she not recognize him?!

Ye Qingcao blinked and leaned closer to take a closer look...

It took me a long time to vaguely recognize that this was Brother Feng with a beard on his face!

I'm going to -

She couldn't recognize him as Feng Ge because of his acting! So calm!

Ye Qingcao even forgot to appreciate how he sang just now!

"That bearded guy is really Brother Feng..."

Ye Qingcao nudged Yan Siyuan with her elbow.

After hearing her words, Yan Siyuan sat up straight and squinted his eyes to look at the man. Only then did he realize... it was really Huo Feng!

He really didn't recognize it just now!

The key point is that the aura of that 'middle-aged man' doesn't look like Huo Feng...

Yan Siyuan had to admit in his mind how powerful Huo Feng was.

Ye Qingcao couldn't help but turn around and ask Yu Sangzhi, "But why is Brother Feng acting so old? Shouldn't he be the handsome second male lead?"

Yu Sangzhi had to explain to her in a low voice, "Read on, the story goes back several decades."

Ye Qingcao: “Oh…”

after…

On the stage, the auctioneer began to auction a major item...

He spoke fluently in English: "Next, lot 666, a broken table lamp. Some of you may be familiar with the paranormal events surrounding the Phantom of the Opera, a mystery that will never be fully resolved. Ladies and gentlemen, we've learned that this is the very chandelier that was destroyed during that famous incident! Our workers have restored it and installed a new light bulb, allowing us to see its former glory! Perhaps with this little light, we can dispel that ghost! Gentlemen!"

As the auctioneer uttered the final, forceful "Gentleman" in English, the whole venue erupted in loud and exciting music!

What followed was that the big chandelier on the stage suddenly "popped" with a sound, producing a large amount of smoke!

The sound of music, the sound of chandeliers, and the large amount of lingering smoke instantly made the atmosphere at the moment reach a passionate state!

The story thus begins——

At the scene, all the audience's attention was completely attracted!

As the chandelier rose, the lights on the scene flickered...

On the high platform of the stage, a man wearing half a mask and playing the piano with his head down caught everyone's sight!

He is actor Wu Di, the ghost in the male lead "The Phantom of the Opera"!

The atmosphere at the scene was exciting and strange, making people a little scared, but also making people open their eyes wide to watch...

The wonderful performance begins now——
