"Qiqi".

Qi Silin didn't speak. Qi Jiu looked up at him, smiled, and seemed to understand perfectly.

The two exchanged a silent conversation, which Liu Yun didn't understand. He scratched his head and asked, "Miss Qi, is there something wrong with this Jiang Shang?"

If we're talking about someone connected to Liu Yan, it's probably only Jiang Rang. What connection does he have with Jiang Shang? His ex-sister-in-law and younger brother?

"It's hard to say."

Others might not have noticed his silly behavior just now, but she could tell that he was faking it. If his acting skills were in the entertainment industry, he would definitely be a movie star.

There is no evidence yet.

Whether he had a relationship with Liu Yan or not is still unknown.

Filming is still ongoing. As a supporting actress, Qi Jiu doesn't have many scenes in this production, especially since it's a movie, so her screen time will be even shorter.

This scene depicts a female assassin embroiled in emotional problems, failing her mission, and being assassinated.

Qi Jiu, now dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, raised an eyebrow as she looked at the three people waiting at the door.

"Is everything alright with the police station?"

Chongyu spread his hands, "Without direct clues, there's no way to continue the investigation. But don't worry, we've already had people keeping an eye on anyone related to Liu Yan."

Qi Jiu nodded. "Okay."

In fact, she also noticed that ever since she joined the crew, whenever it was her scene, Qi Silin and Chong Yu would put aside their own affairs to come to the set to watch her film.

So this time, she wasn't surprised.

"Qiqi, get ready! Filming is about to begin!"

Wang Jianguo held the megaphone, and the others were all ready.

Qi Jiu gave Qi Silin a look and then walked onto the film set.

Actually, she had already achieved her goal of joining the crew, but she doesn't have the habit of giving up halfway. In addition, the character's appearance rate is not high, so it's not difficult to finish filming now.

On set, Qi Jiu quickly got into character, her body covered in blood packs. Bright red blood dripped from her shoulders to her arms, to her fingers, and finally onto the ground.

The girl leaned against the wall, her face pale and her breathing unsteady.

"Cough cough, pfft!"

Blood gushed from her mouth as if it were free, dripping down her chin and down her cheeks.

He looked utterly miserable.

"In the end, I was just being delusional."

She laughed, a miserable laugh, and finally, as if all her strength had been drained, her body slowly slid down the wall. It was this movement that left bloodstains on the wall.

Disheveled, miserable...

In the very end, she leaned against the wall and breathed her last.

"Qiqi..." Qi Silin looked at the people on the set and inexplicably felt his breathing quicken.

Blood flowed freely from the girl's body, its crimson color stinging his eyes. Even though he knew it was all an act, his heart still ached.

What... is going on?

"Okay, card!"

Wang Jianguo stared at the girl by the wall and felt his breath catch in his throat. Her hands were clapping loudly, her palms turning red.

"That's amazing! The acting is superb! He's a born actor!"

As a producer, Tang Heng has seen countless actors, but he has never seen anyone so good at acting on their first try.

Qi Jiu stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her clothes.

The brokenness and misery on her face were gone; she smiled gently, "Director, you flatter me. It's what I should do."

She has now finished filming, and congratulations are coming from all around her. Qi Silin, holding the bouquet he had prepared beforehand, walked over to Qi Jiu.

"Congratulations, you've wrapped up filming."

The man's smile was somewhat forced, and it seemed he was still thinking about the scene Qi Jiu had just acted out.

"Thank you." Qi Jiu quickly noticed that something was wrong with the man. She took the flowers, and through his dark eyes, she could almost see the sadness hidden in them.

Perhaps thinking of something, the girl boldly reached out her fair fingers towards him, and finally gently stroked his chin back and forth.

It sounded like a comforting remark, and also like an explanation.

"It's okay, it was just acting, it wasn't real. I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"

Feeling the touch from her chin, Qi Silin was taken aback at first, then, as if somewhat reluctant, he took the initiative to rub his chin against her fingers.

"I see."

But I still can't help feeling sorry for her...

"Qiqi, happy wrap-up!" Chongyu appeared out of nowhere, holding only one flower, as did Liuyun.

"I know you don't have any hands to hold it, so Liuyun and I only gave you one. It's a small gift but the sentiment is great. My brother's flowers are quite beautiful."

Qi Jiu nodded. "Indeed, it's very beautiful."

Xinglan.

Qi Silin pushed the sweet and sour fish on the table toward Qi Jiu, "The crew's wrap party is still a while away, so as your case-solving partner, we'll celebrate for you in advance."

Qi Jiu joined the film crew because of the case, so when she finished filming, Lin Chuan naturally had an obligation to come and take a look.

But even though filming had wrapped up, the case was still unsolved, and he was worried.

“Miss Qi, although what I said may be a bit of a downer, but…”

Before Lin Chuan could finish speaking, Qi Jiu waved to him, and Lin Chuan skipped over.

"Miss Qi?"

"Turn right after exiting the door and enter the first private room."

Lin Chuan was completely bewildered, but he still listened to Qi Jiu's words and left the room.

After an unknown amount of time, he returned with a look of sudden realization on his face. After that, he didn't say anything else during the meal, only showering Qi Jiu with compliments.

"Miss Qi, you're absolutely amazing! You also have a talent for acting. What do you plan to major in when you go to university? Acting?"

Pharmacy.

Lin Chuan: "??" What is that?

Liu Yun looked at the bewildered person who seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and curled the corner of his mouth.

Great, he's no longer the one who's confused.

For some reason, after encountering so many unusual things, he'd actually started to find them commonplace. Now, seeing others bewildered, he actually felt a sense of balance!

The meal was enjoyed by everyone. Qi Jiu glanced at the hands of her watch, took out a tissue, and said, "That's about it."

Before I could even move my hands, I felt a touch on the corner of my mouth.

Looking up, she saw Qi Silin's somewhat helpless expression. "You can't even eat sweet and sour fish without getting it all over your mouth?"

The man's movements were very gentle, one or two strokes...

Qi Jiu watched his actions, looked at the tissue in her hand that she hadn't yet used, and pursed her lips.

Chongyu, Liuyun, and Linchuan beside them: Oh~

Just as Qi Jiu had said, the time had come. Coincidentally, they had just stepped out of the room when they ran into Jiang Shang and his cronies coming out of the private room.

At this moment, Jiang Shang was no longer the simpleton he had been before. Now he was like a leader, with his suit jacket open and a carefree demeanor.
