Bei Shitao was stunned by Shen Yijin's sudden question: "Of course! Yijin, why do you ask that?"
"The evil spirit was sealed inside the doll. I held it in my arms for so long and it didn't move. You touched it lightly, and its eyes opened. I guess someone wants you to release the evil spirit yourself." Chen Yijin said, "Didn't you tell me before that this house seemed to be sold to you by your uncle? Just now, Yishu also said that the people who broke in were related to our family."
Shen Yijin's suspicions were well-founded, and Bei Shitao could not refute that.
But when she thought about how she was being used by her family, Bei Shitao felt very uncomfortable.
She turned a blind eye to her uncle selling her the haunted house and did not intend to pursue the matter.
But her uncle didn't seem to intend to let her go, and didn't care about blood ties at all.
"I am indeed a member of the Bei family. My facial features are very similar to my parents, there is no doubt about that." Bei Shitao was in a low mood because she knew that she was indeed a descendant of the Bei family. That was why she was so sad when she knew that her uncle was determined to harm her.
Shen Yijin had read Bei Shitao's fortune before, so she naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with Bei Shitao's bloodline. She also couldn't understand why Bei Shitao's uncle wanted to harm her.
She wanted to calculate Bei Shitao's destiny again, but unfortunately, Bei Shitao's destiny had already changed because of her. No matter how she calculated, she could no longer clearly calculate Bei Shitao's destiny.
Chen Yijin sighed helplessly: "Taozi, don't think too much. I'm here. No matter what they want to do to you, I will protect you."
A tear squeezed out of Bei Shitao's eyes. She wanted to throw herself into Chen Yijin's arms for comfort, but when she saw the doll in Chen Yijin's hand, she finally stopped where she was.
Bei Shitao is now terrified of this puppet. Just now, she just touched it lightly and the puppet opened its eyes. If she touches it accidentally again, the seal will probably be lifted.
Chen Yijin was also afraid that Bei Shitao would touch the doll again, so she added a few more seals on the doll and locked the doll in a box in her room before coming out to watch the variety show with Bei Shitao.
Bei Shitao ordered pizza for lunch. She picked up a slice and handed it to Chen Yijin: "Come and have some pizza! This squid pizza is especially delicious. The cheese is even shredded when it's delivered!"
Chen Yijin took a bite of the pizza from Bei Shitao's hand, savored it carefully, and commented, "It tastes good."
Shen Yijin was already extremely hungry, but when the food entered her stomach, the feeling of hunger returned immediately.
She sat next to Bei Shitao, eating pizza and watching variety shows.
Mao Xiayao's variety show this time is themed on urban treasure hunting, and the shooting mode adopted is recording + live broadcast. The first episode will first play the recorded footage, and the end will be where the guests receive the tasks. The program team will then introduce the next episode to be broadcast live.
Live broadcast of variety shows is not uncommon in literary works, but there are too many problems that may arise in live broadcasts, and no program team has ever adopted this broadcast format before.
Mao Xiayao's participation in "City Treasure Hunt" is the first of its kind in China.
With all the publicity and promotion from the program team, netizens’ expectations have been raised to the maximum.
After watching the first episode, Bei Shitao has been praising the director of "City Treasure Hunt".
"This director is incredible! Live variety shows are prone to failure. It's not that no one in the industry wants to livestream variety shows, but the risks are simply too high, and everyone is afraid of blowing it out. Regardless of how the livestream will turn out, I admire his courage alone!"
"He gives every guest equal screen time, doesn't favor investors, and is very friendly to newcomers and unknowns. He doesn't engage in publicity, such as self-deprecation, or hiring internet trolls to drum up hype. He's truly a conscientious director! There aren't many directors in the industry who can do this!"
"And this director has a really good character! It wasn't until I invested in Yaoyao and opened a studio that I realized the industry is even more complicated than I imagined. There are so many dirty things. I instantly lost interest in the entertainment industry after hearing about them. But this director has never been involved in anything. He's so well-known and hasn't been involved in any of that shit. That's really rare in the entertainment industry!"
Chen Yijin listened to Bei Shitao's fancy praises for the director, and made a few perfunctory remarks from time to time, acting as a ruthless supporting role, preventing Bei Shitao's words from being put on the spot.
Bei Shitao didn't understand at first, but later when she found that Chen Yijin was repeating the same few sentences over and over again, she realized that she was just perfunctory.
"Isn't what I said right? Why are you being so perfunctory with me?" Bei Shitao pouted in grievance. At this moment, she could completely empathize with those women on the Internet who took their boyfriends shopping for clothes. What's the difference between Chen Yijin's perfunctory approach and those straight men who say that the clothes their girlfriends choose are beautiful without even raising their heads!
Shen Yijin was not interested in the director's character. She pulled back the progress bar several times and watched the same scene over and over again.
Seeing the staff member who only appeared on the screen for less than half a minute, Shen Yijin frowned slightly: "No, that director is really a good person. I was just thinking about something."
Bei Shitao leaned over to look for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "Is there something wrong with this staff member?"
"She doesn't look right. She might have encountered something bad recently." Chen Yijin said, "Taozi, do you know where the next live broadcast of 'City Treasure Hunt' will be? I'm a little worried about her."
It would have been fine if she hadn't seen it, but since she already knew that something might happen to this staff member next, Shen Yijin couldn't just turn a blind eye.
He was not even thirty years old, and it was not worth it to lose his life for such a person.
Bei Shitao was now acting as Mao Xiayao's half-agent, and she knew her schedule intimately: "The next episode will be filmed in the neighboring city of X, starting at 10 a.m. three days from now. Yijin, are you going?"
Three days later is Saturday, and the production team chose this day because they thought there would be more people watching variety shows on weekends.
But at the same time, there are many people going out to play on weekends, and variety shows are still filmed in the city. The city is crowded with people everywhere, so the difficulty of live broadcast increases significantly.
If it weren't for Chen Yijin's serious expression, Bei Shitao would have wanted to praise the director for his courage and boldness.
"With this plan, if I don't go, the girl may have no future." Shen Yijin pointed at the staff member who flashed on the screen.
Bei Shitao was stunned: "Is it so serious? Then you have to go. Just follow Yaoyao's car and go in three days. I will talk to Yaoyao later."
Just watching a variety show can reveal that human lives are at stake. Bei Shitao has nothing to say except admiration.
She knew her own limitations and didn't dare to go with Chen Yijin, so she just stayed at home and watched the live broadcast.
Three days passed in a flash, and Shen Yijin arrived at the recording site in Mao Xiayao's nanny car. When she saw the staff who came to pick them up, she raised her eyebrows.
That’s great. She doesn’t have to look for the person she wants to protect, as he or she will find him or her.
