What are you laughing at?

Mrs. Luo sat there stiffly, her face pale. At that moment, his expression was quickly swallowed up by fear, and his look became dazed again.

She shook her head desperately, and her eyes, which had just cleared up a little, were about to fall back into the frenzy of an attack. She pushed the crowd away and was about to escape in panic, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the nurse behind Xun Zhen.

The people brought by Xun Zhen were already accustomed to dealing with all kinds of patients. They subdued her without much effort and sent her back to the bed.

The nurse skillfully disinfected Mrs. Luo's elbow and flicked the needle twice.

"You guys..." Luo Cheng was shaking. She was so scared that she couldn't stand up. She stuttered, "You guys, what are you going to give her?"

Xun Zhen raised his head and exchanged glances with Ming Lu behind the crowd.

He turned the saline solution label into his palm: "A new drug that can make people tell the truth."

As soon as she finished speaking, the color drained away from Mrs. Luo's face.

She looked like she had seen something extremely terrifying. She stared at the needle and kept curling up backwards.

As soon as the nurse leaned over, she suddenly began to struggle in fear and hysteria even more than before: "No... No!"

Luo Chengxiu walked through the crowd and went over to hold her down.

His steps staggered, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in cold sweat. He was breathing heavily, but he still clamped his wife's shoulders with his own hands.

Mrs. Luo continued to struggle. It was obvious that she could not recognize anyone anymore. She waved her arms around with incredible strength, hitting her husband almost desperately.

"Master Luo." Xun Zhen reminded, "I think you should go to the hospital. There is an ambulance downstairs."

Luo Chengxiu's condition was obviously not good. Xun Zhen didn't want anyone to die here: "If there is chest tightness, chest pain and sweating, it may be a heart problem..."

"Let her tell the truth." Luo Chengxiu interrupted with a heavy breath. He seemed to have heard nothing at all. He just stared at his wife and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I want to hear the truth."

Xun Zhen sighed softly.

He asked Luo Chengxiu: "Will this make you feel better?"

Luo Chengxiu shuddered.

Xun Zhen's words were incomprehensible and incoherent. He should not have understood them, but he knew clearly what the other party was saying, and even felt a chill in his bones.

He suddenly raised his head and stared at Xun Zhen with bloodshot eyes.

"The instigator is here." Xun Zhen signaled the nurse to inject Mrs. Luo with saline solution, and then looked at Luo Chengxiu, "But the perpetrator is here. Will it make you feel better if we can figure out who is more heinous and unforgivable?"

People with hysterical personality disorder will have great mood swings, will be highly self-centered, will take a lot of fantasies as reality, and will be easily influenced by the language and behavior of others...So Xun Zhen deliberately said that saline solution was a medicine that could make people tell the truth, and Mrs. Luo might really believe it.

But the other people in this family should at least be considered normal people. Shouldn’t they have the most basic logical thinking and discernment?

If you have these abilities, why would you believe such lies?

Even if he really believed that lie, would it be such a heinous crime that it is unforgivable for a seven-year-old child?

"Master Luo, I also have a son, he is ten years old this year. When he gets naughty and mischievous, I even think about spanking him."

Xun Zhen said: "But if my son has been missing for three years, even if he ran away on his own, even if he was really willful... as long as I can find him back."

"As long as we can get it back," Xun Zhen said, "even if he wants to demolish the house, I will help him do it."

Luo Chengxiu stared at him, his breathing so heavy that it seemed like he might choke and bleed at any moment.

His throat moved with difficulty for a long while, but he could not say anything, only his chest rose and fell with difficulty.

"Master Luo." Xun Zhen couldn't help but ask, "You should have known that Mrs. Luo's mood is often unstable, right?"

This matter is not difficult to reason about at all - under what circumstances, a mother with two children, when one of the children is lost, is the seven-year-old brother responsible?

There is only one answer, that is, the seven-year-old boy at that time was already very mature and steady, so steady that everyone subconsciously felt at ease.

Because he was already an exceptionally good and reliable little man, everyone assumed that he should be the one to take care of his mother and sister.

Because the child was too sensible, even though he was still at an age where he should be taken care of, he subconsciously made everyone around him think that he should be the one taking care of others.

That day, Luo Chi took his mother and sister out.

That's why Luo Chi is responsible for the loss of Luo Chi and his sister.

"You'd better go to the hospital quickly. I will get the truth from Madam Ling and tell the Ming family."

Xun Zhen said: "If you want to know, wait until you feel better and then go to the Ming family to ask."

"Fortunately...Mr. Luo didn't grow up in your family at all."

Xun Zhen lowered his head and turned back to organize the medicine box: "My wife doesn't allow me to have too much contact with you. She is afraid that if I interact with your family, I will become a cold-blooded monster."

Luo Chengxiu felt like he was hit hard on the head by these words.

This time he really felt the blood in his throat. He slowly let go of his wife, stood up shakily, and walked out step by step.

Luo Cheng was stared at by him. He didn't know how hideous and terrifying he looked. Anyway, Luo Cheng's face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost. He took two steps back in panic, and suddenly ran out without looking back.

The door of the living room downstairs slammed loudly, and Luo Cheng stumbled out of the house.

Luo Chengxiu stopped the housekeeper who was about to chase after her in a hurry: "Isn't she an adult?"

"Yes." The butler said in a panic, "But——"

"Let her go. Isn't she afraid that we will sell her out?" Luo Chengxiu whispered, "If you catch her back, she will hate you."

The butler stood there in a daze.

Luo Chengxiu pressed his chest and walked out alone.

...He was thinking about the day when Luo Zhi was found.

He was getting extremely worried and annoyed because of business problems, when he suddenly heard that the lost child had been found and the matter had made several not-so-small news headlines.

Outside the office, someone who didn't know he was inside made a terrible joke: "The Luo family is not good enough... A child can run back by himself, but the Luo family has been looking for him for three years and still can't find him? Did they find him or not?"

"Maybe they just didn't look for him? I don't think their family members care much about it."

"Isn't Mr. Luo quite amazing? Who could have seen that his son was missing and his wife was crazy?"

"I couldn't even take care of my own son. It would have been fine if I couldn't take care of him, but I couldn't even find him after he was lost. He let him run back on his own."

"Tsk tsk, you can't judge a person by his appearance..."

…

He was so furious about those words that he fired the people who gossiped on the spot, but he still planted poisonous weeds in his heart that could not be eradicated.

Luo Zhi's existence itself is proof of his failure, proof that he has failed to be a qualified father and has failed to protect his family.

If Luo Zhi had not been lost, everything about him, his career, his family, would have been perfect.

If Luo Zhi had not come back, when people talked about the Luo family, at most they would just sigh for a mother who lost her son and a family that were victims themselves.

Luo Zhi returned to the Luo family by herself, turning everything into a mocking joke in the mouths of others.

So he just hoped out of sight and out of mind.

…

Of course he did.

He threw Luo Zhi far away where he could not be seen and never cared about his son again.

Luo Jun really believed what his wife said and believed that it was Luo Zhi who got lost with her sister.

Luo Jun studied abroad and had rarely seen his biological brother. Instead, he had been with his adopted brother day and night for three years, and they had unconsciously developed a closeness or distance between them... Coupled with this kind of statement, the prejudice was even deeper.

Luo Jun said that his wife even secretly replaced Luo Zhi's gift, making Luo Jun believe that the gift was from Jian Huaiyi. Luo Jun thought that his younger brother was only causing trouble and chaos, and finally there was a gap between them that was difficult to cross.

Luo Cheng... Luo Cheng probably really believed what his wife said, otherwise Luo Cheng wouldn't have been so mean to Luo Zhi with such a clear conscience.

Or maybe it's not necessary. Luo Zhi said that Luo Cheng's temper is like his mother's, and he has seen it too.

There is no need to know this. As long as Luo Cheng relies on the "bad deeds" of Luo Zhi mentioned by his family, he can treat Luo Zhi very badly.

...What about him?

Of course he believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have used this false accusation to suppress Luo Zhi for so many years - he even couldn't wait to believe it.

So how can we expect him to analyze and verify?

He wished all this were true.

Mrs. Luo might be sick, but his illness was more serious than Mrs. Luo's.

The stone pressing on Luo Chengxiu's chest became heavier and heavier. He tried to open his mouth and breathe, but he couldn't take in any air no matter what. Shivering, he touched the handrail of the stairs.

He suddenly heard his own angry voice.

Luo Chengxiu turned his head in a daze. He saw himself standing not far away, scolding Luo Zhi, whose hand was pierced by his wife's fork.

He was questioning Luo Zhi whether she would never be able to give him the peace of mind that Huai Yi did.

...Is he crazy?

Luo Chengxiu shook his head vigorously in confusion. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. He watched Luo Zhi speak word by word to him and Luo Jun.

Luo Zhi said, it wasn’t him…

The wife suddenly rushed towards Luo Zhi.

Luo Chengxiu's heart skipped a beat as he remembered what was going to happen next. He staggered over but failed to stop his wife's shadow.

Luo Zhi was pushed down from the second floor in front of him.

His feet went weak and he fell heavily to the ground. He rolled several times before the sudden pain in his chest finally engulfed him.

"Father," Luo Jun's voice said to him, "we deserve this."

…

Director Gong’s documentary finally has the most appropriate trailer.

Luo Cheng woke up from the carpet.

She had a terrible headache and sat up groggy, looking blankly at the unlit room.

Her memory came back piecemeal, and she gradually remembered what had happened before - she finally learned that her mother had been lying all along, and her father was so angry that he became ill.

She was completely frightened, her mind went blank, and when she came to her senses, she had already fled the house in a panic.

She found a hotel to hide in, not daring to watch the news or go out. She only learned from the housekeeper that her father was out of danger after rescue, and then turned off her cell phone.

She hid in a daze for an unknown period of time, perhaps three to five days, or perhaps a week. The money in her card was almost gone, but she still didn't dare go home and wandered around outside aimlessly...

"Miss Luo." Someone suddenly spoke up, "Are you awake?"

Luo Cheng was instantly gripped by fear. Her eyes widened in horror, but she found herself so frightened that she couldn't even utter a sound. She just kept shaking violently.

Where is she? !

Why is there anyone else in the room? !

Luo Cheng twisted his body stiffly, and finally, with the dim light from the window, he was able to vaguely recognize some human figures in the unlit room.

"I don't know if you still remember me." The other party said, "We met at Huaisheng Entertainment. I am the manager of the artist department. My name is Fang Hang."

"Huaisheng Entertainment is in a bit of trouble." Fang Hang turned on the light, "Mr. Jian wants to ask Miss Luo for a favor."

Luo Cheng's eyes went blank due to the dazzling light.

She said it several times before she could utter a broken voice: "Help, what can I help you with?"

Fang Hang was silent for a while, then slowly said a name: "Li Weiming."

Luo Cheng seemed to suddenly realize something, and his pupils shrank instantly.

"Ask Miss Luo whatever Li Weiming needs to do for you," Fang Hang said. "That's what President Jian ordered."

Luo Cheng felt like a hand was strangling his throat.

She had no idea how everything had turned out like this. Her mind was a mess and she was feeling an increasingly cold and deep fear that was suffocating her.

Jian Huaiyi... wants to harm her too?

No, it was Jian Huaiyi who was plotting against her from the very beginning.

It was not until now that she finally figured this matter out bit by bit.

Her father must hate her, her mother has gone crazy, and her eldest brother...it seems that her eldest brother can't listen to anything except Luo Zhi now, and there is no way he can go back to school.

She couldn't escape anywhere. Jian Huaiyi had finally tricked her into leaving her with nothing. Now it was her turn...

Luo Cheng was trembling with fear. She struggled to stand up, but her legs were too weak to move.

Fang Hang stood up and walked over. Luo Cheng dodged backwards in despair, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly with his trembling hands.

She stared at Fang Hang, almost overwhelmed by fear, but was stunned by the thing he placed in front of her.

…

It's a tablet.

Above are the chat records with Gong Hanrou's crew and an electronic contract.

In fact, Ren Chenbai had already signed the contract for her. As long as she said yes, she would be taken away for closed interviews, filming and recording. If you want to quit again, you must pay a high penalty, otherwise the crew has the right to sue you according to the contract.

"Please rest assured, this is not the room that Mr. Jian requested." Fang Hang said, "We won't do that. Mr. Luo will probably come and knock on our window."

He spoke in a low voice. Luo Cheng was stunned for a long time before he finally realized who "Mr. Luo" he was talking about.

...Thinking of these people's unreasonable cold treatment of her, Luo Cheng suddenly became flustered.

Fang Hang had no intention of continuing the topic, but continued: "We have received the contract from Director Gong's crew, and we need your final approval."

"You can continue to think about it." Fang Hang said, "Leave, or--"

Luo Cheng blurted out in panic: "I'll go!"

She was even afraid that the other party would go back on their word, so she rushed over to grab the tablet and signed her name on the final confirmed electronic contract.

She just wanted to escape as soon as possible, she couldn't hold on any longer. As long as she could escape from these horrible nightmares, it didn't matter where she escaped to - she was indeed extremely afraid of encountering what Luo Zhi had experienced, but those things were just filming after all. Could they be more desperate than these ridiculous nightmares she was facing now?

Luo Cheng signed the contract in a panic. She watched Fang Hang take back the tablet and realized that although the other party's expression did not contain the greed and malice that frightened her, it was not gentle either.

...A strange and ominous feeling of fear and uneasiness quietly climbed up her spine.

"In that case," Fang Hang asked, "Ms. Luo, would you like to watch the trailer?"

The chill flowed into Luo Cheng's body, freezing her hands and feet.

What pilot film?

Fang Hang turned off the lights again and took the remote control. Luo Cheng then discovered that there was an entire wall of projection screens in front of them.

The beam of light penetrated the dust in the room and hit the yellowed curtain.

"Hysterical personality disorder." Fang Hang held up his phone and read the popular science material released by the crew and the pilot film to her, "At least three of the following criteria must be met."

"Highly suggestible, easily influenced by others." Fang Hang read slowly, "Exaggerated expressions, pretentious, superficial emotions."

"They are self-centered and only want others to meet their own needs and will. If they are not satisfied, they will be extremely dissatisfied and embarrass others in public, and even think that the other person is unforgivable."

“Boast about yourself, show off yourself, and don’t allow your perfect image to be damaged.”

"Imagination and reality are mixed together, full of lies..."

Of course, the manifestations of hysterical personality disorder are more than just these. The popular science provided by the crew is objective enough. This is just a disease.

But this inexplicable artist manager just kept reading out paragraphs and stopping at intervals, picking and choosing, which sounded extremely ironic.

Luo Cheng finally couldn't listen any longer and interrupted hastily: "Enough!"

Fang Hang raised his head and looked over.

"Manager...Fang."

Luo Cheng clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "I am very grateful to you, you saved me."

She spoke with difficulty: "My mother is sick, but she is my mother after all, you can't say that about her..."

"Ms. Luo." Fang Hang frowned and put down his phone. "Did you misunderstand?"

"I don't know your mother."

Fang Hang looked at her: "I'm talking about you."

Luo Cheng froze in place.

She was almost so ashamed and angry at this insult that she lost control and pointed at the other party and refuted fiercely, but for some reason, she couldn't make a sound.

The light beams kept changing, and the pilot film had already begun to get to the point.

…

The boy, holding his sister's hand, followed his mother out of the aquarium.

This pilot film was shot based on the results of the Xun family's treatment of patients, and made extensive use of blurring and distant views.

The actors were chosen very well; the boy's figure was blurred and looked almost exactly like Luo Chi.

It seemed like the family was already having a bad time when they came out of the aquarium.

——To be more precise, the little girl was throwing a tantrum due to her spoiled temper, and her mother was obviously unhappy.

The boy was left between the two of them, and seemed to be accustomed to such situations. He bent down skillfully and coaxed his sister in a gentle voice, and then led his sister to coax their mother.

As for why she was angry... Mrs. Luo couldn't explain it, and no one remembered.

How big a deal could it be? A child of a few years old, simply because he wants something that was not bought for him or he did not play enough on a certain amusement facility, will make a scene without any explanation and regardless of the occasion, which annoys the parents.

Fortunately, with the help of their older brother, the fight didn’t get too serious, and the family even went into a cafe.

Looking at the coffee shop, Luo Cheng's face suddenly turned pale.

The nightmare that had been haunting her these days and that she had completely forgotten all these years was creeping up from the depths of her memory.

The boy sat at the table with a small cake in front of him and his sister put a paper birthday crown on his head.

He looked very happy, even his earlobes were slightly red, and he touched his sister's head and whispered thank you.

Luo Cheng stared at the boy's shadow on the screen.

…She remembered what happened.

That day was my second brother’s birthday.

Of course, that is not the cake for birthdays. Birthdays are to be celebrated at home in the evening...the whole family will celebrate together.

She just had a sudden impulse and wanted to wish her second brother a happy birthday alone, so her mother brought them to the cafe.

But she was not satisfied with the cake in the cafe. She liked the white one decorated with roses that she had just seen at the roadside stall, so she kept muttering and complaining in the cafe. Later, her mother finally got angry with her and the two started arguing again. She always quarreled with her mother at that time, because they quarreled about everything. She ran out of the cafe in anger and went to buy the cake she had chosen...

Luo Chi bought desserts for his mother and younger sister. When he came back with the plates, he found that his sister was missing.

…

"It's been a hot topic, and many people find it ridiculous." Fang Hang paused the conversation, "Just because of such a small thing."

Just because of such a small thing, the child was lost.

But it was just such a small matter that caused the child to be lost, so he had to lie and cover it up.

...Otherwise, such a mistake would be too absurd, too negligent, and would be ridiculed and criticized.

Luo Cheng looked at the frozen scene.

The picture stopped at the cake and the paper birthday crown.

Luo Chi couldn't persuade his mother to go look for her, but was worried that she would get lost alone, so he ran out to look for her himself.

"What can we do? The person involved is ill after all."

Fang Hang returned to the previous popular science and read slowly: "She is self-centered - especially when she is angry. Anyone who does not do what she wants is unforgivable in her eyes."

He seemed to be reading popular science, and seemed to be talking about Mrs. Luo.

But when Luo Cheng heard him say that, her whole body seemed to be slowly cut open, and something was being torn off bit by bit along that inconspicuous crack.

Luo Cheng hid from the light of the projector. She was made uneasy by the bright light, but she couldn't hide from it.

She seemed to be skinned by the light.

"Ms. Luo." Fang Hang couldn't help himself. He put the remote control aside and looked at Luo Cheng. "Can I ask, did Mr. Luo do anything excessive to you?"

He wanted to get to the bottom of this matter: "How outrageous is it that you have to treat him like this?"

They had no idea that Mr. Luo and Luo Cheng had this kind of relationship. That day they were squatting in Luo Zhi's office to help the young boss grab tickets. Several managers are around 30 years old and were all promoted by Luo Zhi. They worked with Luo Zhi to revitalize Huaisheng Entertainment. They stayed up late with dark circles under their eyes and drank coffee and wolfberries together.

Because Luo Zhi changed her mind in the last ten minutes, everyone was unhappy and silent.

"I'm looking for you guys to help me get my own ticket to go out and play."

Mr. Luo no longer had to fight for tickets, so he turned off a row of alarms and curled up on the sofa to play games: "You guys are reacting as if I just canceled our company's employee benefits."

They didn't know how to react. They saw Luo Zhi excitedly tell them several days ago that she wanted to buy a cruise ticket to go out and travel, and she stayed up late and asked them to help her get the ticket.

In the end, Luo Zhi gave up her birthday wish nonchalantly and spent money to buy a script for Luo Cheng.

…

Not long after that, the so-called shareholder suddenly came to the company, and the situation suddenly changed. Suddenly Luo Zhi became the one that everyone wanted to beat - they couldn't contact Luo Zhi no matter what, and the calls they made were inexplicably blocked.

In fact, they were too embarrassed to see Luo Zhi, as they thought Luo Zhi was angry with them.

They wanted to leave, but each of them had elderly parents and young children to take care of, so they were not qualified to do such a thing of revenge. They felt that Luo Zhi should be angry with them.

Even if Mr. Luo blocked everyone's phone numbers, they deserved it.

Later, they finally heard that Mr. Luo was taken back by his childhood friend and was being well taken care of in a private hospital, and they were finally relieved.

Where are the people?

Where is the care?

Why did Luo Zhi sit alone in the rain later?

Why was Luo Zhi pushed down during the live broadcast and didn't even have the strength to stand up?

"Why did you apologize to Li Weiming on his behalf?" Fang Hang asked her, "What right do you have to apologize on his behalf? Do you know what he did?"

"How evil has he done?"

"You all hate him so much, can one of you tell us clearly what is going on and make us believe that we are following the wrong person?"

"Can you explain this to us? We don't understand—"

Fang Hang pressed the remote control hard.

In the blurred distance, the boy shouted his voice until it became hoarse, but he was still calling his sister's name.

He looked everywhere but couldn't find his sister. It was getting dark quickly. He looked at the last dark and remote alley, gritted his teeth and ran in.

…The picture goes dark here.

A title appeared on the pitch-black screen. It was a crimson flame surrounded by a circle indicating the death signal.

"Where is the person?" Fang Hang stared at him. "Ms. Luo, your family found the lost child thirteen years ago."

Fang Hang asked her: "Where is the person?"
