Early in the morning, before the amusement park opened, Gu Wang received a special guest at the door.
The person who came was thin, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She wore an inconspicuous gray skirt, a hat of the same color, and large sunglasses and a mask that covered her entire face tightly.
Although both of them were in disguise, she was much smarter than Director Yu. She was wrapped up tightly and did not attract attention.
This is the female lead Xu Mengru that Director Yu mentioned yesterday.
Accompanying her was her agent, a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing Gu Wang coming out, the agent stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Director Gu? Nice to meet you. I'm Mengru's agent. You can just call me Lao Zhao."
Gu Wang's eyes swept across his face, then he glanced at Xu Mengru and led the two of them in.
The empty amusement park was filled with only white mist, creating a rather eerie atmosphere. Old Zhao frowned and inadvertently hid behind Xu Mengru.
Xu Mengru, on the other hand, seemed to have seen nothing.
According to online information, Xu Mengru is a child star. Although she has been working in the entertainment industry for almost 20 years, she is just 30 years old, which is a good time for a female star to rise.
But somehow, she gave people the feeling of a walking corpse, lifeless and without any vitality.
Gu Wang observed her for a moment and brought the two of them into the house.
Old Zhao looked around and smiled, "Starting a business isn't easy. Principal Gu lives in such a simple and austere place."
Gu Wang didn't exchange pleasantries with him and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
Old Zhao smiled and said, "It's like this. Our Mengru had some rashes on her face before, and then they turned into blisters and got worse and worse. We found the best dermatology hospital, but there was no improvement. I heard from Director Yu that you can handle it here?"
He probed again, "I heard there were problems with the male lead as well. Do you think Director Yu didn't choose the right filming location?"
He had heard that this young man had previously gone to the crew and solved something. If he could get proof that there was something wrong with the crew, even if Xu Mengru couldn't film in the future, he could still get some compensation.
Gu Wang looked at Xu Mengru, "Doesn't she have anything to say?"
Old Zhao paused, "Okay, Mengru, you go ahead and tell me."
His tone subtly intensified, "This is an expert that Mr. Fan has finally found out about. You have to talk to him nicely, understand?"
Xu Mengru turned her face slightly to avoid his expression, and clenched and released the hands at her side.
Gu Wang asked her to sit down and asked, "What's going on with your face?"
Xu Mengru said calmly, "There are rashes and blisters, pus is oozing, and it's rotten."
Gu Wang: "Do you feel anything? Pain or itchiness?"
Xu Mengru: "No pain, no itching, no feeling."
Gu Wang observed her subtle movements and said slowly, "Can I take a look?"
Xu Mengru took off her sunglasses and mask without hesitation, revealing a terrifying face.
There was almost no healthy skin on her face, covered with rashes and blisters. Pus had flowed out of some places and stuck to the mask, which she tore open without hesitation, and was now bleeding.
His eyelids were a little better, but they were still too swollen to open, and his whole face looked comically horrible.
No one could have imagined that Xu Mengru, who debuted as a little osmanthus fairy and was hailed as the "Little Osmanthus of the World," would now look like this. Not to mention her fans, even her own mother wouldn't be able to recognize her.
When Old Zhao saw this face again, he turned his head away in disgust, covered his mouth and said, "Director Gu, do you think this face can be cured?"
Gu Wang was observing Xu Mengru carefully. He was looking at her facial features and aura, which had nothing to do with her skin.
Xu Mengru's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and she let him look at her.
The more Gu Wang looked, the more his brows furrowed. He actually saw a desire to die on Xu Mengru's face... Why would a female star who is on the rise decide to die?
Moreover, this face...
Old Zhao was still chattering: "Look, is Mengru's illness related to the crew? Was she poisoned on the set? I think we need to investigate thoroughly..."
Gu Wang interrupted him coldly, "Get out."
Lao Zhao: "What did you say?"
Gu Wang simply called the candle girl over and said, "Take him out and keep an eye on him. Don't let him move around."
Zhu Nu bowed and patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder. The annoying agent actually followed him out without saying a word.
Xu Mengru moved slightly, and then she heard Gu Wang ask her, "Did you do this to your face?"
Xu Mengru froze, her voice erratic, "You...what did you say?"
Gu Wang: "I know you did it yourself. Can you tell me why?"
Xu Mengru opened her lips slightly, but no sound came out.
Gu Wang whispered, "The agent is not here. I know you are afraid of him. Don't worry, I was not sent by him."
Xu Mengru's body trembled suddenly.
She tried desperately to tell herself that this was fake, all fake, and that the young man was lying to her... But, she looked into those slightly curved eyes, the brown pupils were calm and peaceful, yet filled with great tolerance and compassion.
Her eyes gradually blurred, tears flowed down, causing a stinging sensation on her skin. She repeated, "He didn't ask you to come here."
Gu Wang affirmed: "Yes, I was not sent by anyone. I can heal your face. Now, tell me what happened. How did you get forced to this point?"
Xu Mengru slowly calmed down and her eyes became lively. She had a premonition that this was her chance, her only chance, to escape from that quagmire.
If I fail this time, then... the worst that can happen is death.
Xu Mengru debuted as a child star, but no one in her family is engaged in entertainment-related industries. It was all just a coincidence.
When she was two years old, her mother died of illness.
Her father was lazy and gluttonous, and often let her go hungry.
Several years passed like this. One day, a film crew came to her home to shoot a movie. They wanted to hire local people as extras, especially children, and would pay them two hundred yuan a day.
Her father carried her and went there.
After she was selected, her father came to take two hundred yuan a day and didn't even bring her food. He just left her on the crew, and she had to rely on the uncles and aunts in the crew to take care of her.
The director of the crew felt sorry for her and saw that she was talented, so he gave her a role with one line.
She was a little girl who was abandoned while fleeing famine. Her panic-stricken fear and her pitiful appearance with only a pair of big eyes left from hunger were very consistent with Xu Mengru's condition at the time.
So, after the role was broadcast, Xu Mengru was spotted by a relatively big director and played the role of a little osmanthus fairy in a mythological drama, and since then she has entered the public eye.
After that, until she was about sixteen, Xu Mengru's life got better and better.
Although his father was lazy and incompetent, he didn't care what she did as long as she was paid enough. Of course, he didn't understand it either.
However, when she was sixteen, her father introduced her to a man, and that was the beginning of her nightmare.
The man's name was Fan Zhaoguo, and he was from the same hometown as her. Ever since he knew she was an actress, Fan Zhaoguo had been trying to please her father, treating him like his own father.
Her father was happy to be flattered, and he also heard Fan Zhaoguo say that it was difficult for actresses to find a husband as they were out in public every day, so it would be better for them to settle down early to avoid becoming ambitious in the future.
Her father thought it made sense and introduced her to Fan Zhaoguo.
Xu Mengru was still young at that time. Although she had been acting in the entertainment industry for many years, she had a father who held her back, had few friends, and was completely blank in terms of love.
As a result, it was easy for Fan Zhaoguo to catch up with her.
The two first held their wedding in their hometown, and then got their marriage certificate when they reached the required age.
After the official marriage, Fan Zhaoguo's fangs were fully exposed.
He has a strong desire for control, and Xu Mengru's mobile phone, assistant and agent are all under his control.
He was also very greedy for money, and completely used Xu Mengru as a tool to make money. What dramas Xu Mengru took on and what variety shows she appeared on were all based on his ideas. And his idea was that the more money the better.
Xu Mengru appeared in many bad money-making movies because of this, and her career suffered a great blow.
None of the money earned from making these bad movies reached her, as it all went into Fan Zhaoguo's pocket. All she had was the small amount of pocket money Fan Zhaoguo gave her every month.
At that time, Xu Mengru thought that seeing the fans who had supported her for many years disappointed in her was the most painful thing in the world.
However, this is not the case.
Fan Zhaoguo prided himself on being a civilized man who never beat or scolded his wife. But whenever Xu Mengru "disobeyed," he would drag her into a dark and soundless basement and lock her up for days and nights.
He once proudly said that he built it specially for her.
Xu Mengru was imprisoned for three days the first time. When she was released, she felt as if she had gone mad. She thought she would have to stay in that silent darkness forever.
She checked online and learned that this was a form of torture during wartime that would cause great mental harm to people, and almost no one could withstand it.
Xu Mengru thought that she really couldn't bear it. After that, she listened to whatever Fan Zhaoguo said and never dared to resist again.
However, under such circumstances, she became increasingly afraid of acting in front of the camera, her performance became worse and worse, and naturally fewer and fewer crews approached her.
Fan Zhaoguo was naturally dissatisfied with the lack of money. He opened his own studio under Xu Mengru's name and signed several new actresses, but they all failed to achieve success. So, he considered giving Xu Mengru plastic surgery, hoping to make her popular again...
At this point, Xu Mengru touched her face and murmured, "I don't want to have plastic surgery, and I don't want to live like this anymore..."
So, she took the opportunity of a rash after returning from the crew to disfigure her face. She would rather be disfigured than be Fan Zhaoguo's money-making tool anymore. She had had enough.
A breeze with a faint fragrance blew towards her. She turned around from the darkness and saw Gu Wang facing her with a strange finger gesture. She actually felt a long-lost sense of relief, as if all the dust in her heart had been blown away by the breeze.
Gu Wang performed a Qingxin Jue (cleansing mind technique) to dispel the black energy from her body. The human spirit can also communicate yin and yang. If one's spirit is too low, it will also attract yin energy.
He didn't comment on the girl's lonely and helpless first half of her life, but instead said, "How about we call the police?"
Xu Mengru was stunned for a moment, "Call the police?"
Gu Wang nodded. "He committed illegal detention, domestic violence, and embezzlement of studio property. He may have committed other crimes. Let's try calling the police."
Xu Mengru: "But, I have no evidence..."
Gu Wang smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as he has it."
There was a knock on the door, and a bald man over two meters tall walked in.
Xu Mengru was afraid of scaring people, so she quickly covered her face. However, the big man didn't even look at her. He yawned and asked, "What's the matter, Headmaster? I was sleeping."
Gu Wang was speechless: "The park is about to open in ten minutes, and you're still sleeping. Find a few kids and have them break into someone's phone to look for evidence."
Ghost Goddess: "What evidence? Which scumbag made you run into..."
Xu Mengru was still wondering whether this little kid was referring to some kind of hacker when she saw the big man lift up his clothes.
"Wait..." Xu Mengru wanted to say I'm still here, but then she saw the big man pry open his belly button and take out several black shadows from it, and they were moving!
Xu Mengru:!!
The poor woman's face was blank. She wondered if she had finally gone mad. Why did she feel like she had seen a ghost?
Gu Wang didn't expect that the Ghost Lady would be so agile. Speaking of which, hasn't the Ghost Lady been too servile recently? Before he could stop her, he saw that Xu Mengru had an expression as if her soul was ascending to heaven.
Gu Wang: "Well, are you okay?"
Xu Mengru: "Ah, it's okay? Ghosts and such... I don't think I'm that scary anymore..."
The three shadows were only as tall as human thighs. After landing, they ran around, a bit like dogs that had been run away, and quite cute.
Xu Mengru blinked and decided not to ask anything. If Fan Zhaoguo could really be sent to prison, she would be willing to sacrifice her soul to the devil, not to mention seeing the little ghost.
Gu Wang said to her, "Do you have Fan Zhaoguo's phone number? Give him a call."
Xu Mengru took out her cell phone and her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed the screen. She was very afraid of Fan Zhaoguo.
Seeing this, Gu Wang said again: "Forget it, give me the number and I'll call."
He dialed the number with his cell phone, and Fan Zhaoguo was woken up from his sleep, with a woman's voice next to him.
Gu Wang asked politely, "Hello, would you like to buy insurance?"
Fan Zhaoguo cursed and hung up. In just a few seconds, the kids had lined up to get into their phones.
The Ghost God tilted her head to sense for a moment, then grinned, "The little ghosts have gone in. This scumbag's phone has a lot of dirty stuff in it."
Without him saying anything, the little devils had already moved the messages in Fan Zhaoguo's phone to Gu Wang's phone one by one.
Fan Zhaoguo was just lucky. He was able to live the life he had always dreamed of by being tied to a cash cow like Xu Mengru.
To be honest, he is not a very smart person and there is no defense in his mobile phone.
However, as he watched, Gu Wang's face turned serious. He handed the phone to Xu Mengru.
Naturally, the mobile phone contained footage of Xu Mengru being illegally imprisoned, and it was the original surveillance footage, which Fan Zhaoguo intercepted as his own achievement and sent to his friends to show off.
There is also evidence that Fan Zhaoguo embezzled studio property and evidence of tax evasion. These alone are enough to put Fan Zhaoguo in jail.
There were even indecent photos of Fan Zhaoguo and other women. Xu Mengru had guessed about these things before, but didn't care.
However, what made her tremble all over was that Fan Zhaoguo actually acted as a pimp!
Perhaps because he had signed several new artists but none of them became popular, Fan Zhaoguo came up with another evil idea. He took advantage of some of the new artists in the studio and tricked them into drinking with the wealthy businessmen.
In fact, he has become more and more daring recently. He doesn't even need to coax her. He just drugs her and does it by force!
Those young newcomers with dreams signed with this studio with trepidation, but they didn't expect that they had walked into a den of wolves.
Xu Mengru suddenly remembered a few months ago when a newly signed young talent suddenly broke into her lounge, looked at her madly for a long time, and yelled, "Liar! You are all liars!"
Later, the newcomer was taken away by security. She once asked her agent, Lao Zhao, who said that the newcomer was desperate to become famous, but because he had never received good resources, he hated the company. Later, the newcomer was banned and has never been seen since.
She didn't believe what Lao Zhao said, but she also couldn't imagine that the other party had actually experienced such a thing...
Although she is the mainstay of the studio, no one takes her seriously due to Fan Zhaoguo's attitude. She is like a deaf and blind person in the studio.
She had no idea what Fan Zhaoguo had done!
Xu Mengru deeply regretted that if she had obtained the evidence earlier, or if she had chosen to call the police earlier... wouldn't so many people have been hurt?
But she didn't think about how she could possibly get the evidence in Fan Zhaoguo's mobile phone when she was being watched closely by Lao Zhao and his assistant.
Gu Wang smiled coldly, and the Ghost Goddess began to shrink her neck when she saw his expression.
Gu Wang: "A few days ago, didn't Sun Fei say that she also wanted to go out of the park to do a mission?"
The Ghost Goddess nodded obediently, "Yes, I did. I said it in the group." They called tasks for the director a mission. Usually, it was the Candle Girl who took charge. Sun Fei had been in the garden for a long time and wanted to go out and take a look.
Gu Wang curled his eyes and said, "That's perfect. Let her go this time. Um... plus Granny Dengying."
In one sentence, Fan Zhaoguo's fate was sealed. It was bound to be a less than peaceful one.
Fan Zhaoguo has been feeling a bit frustrated lately. The new talent he manages is useless, and even with all the resources he's given, they can't become popular. Xu Mengru is also failing, only getting roles from third-rate directors like Yu Hui.
He was so upset that he found a woman to relieve his sexual desire and fell asleep in the middle of the night. Then he was woken up early in the morning by a stupid insurance salesman.
The woman next to him was nagging and making him very annoyed. He chased her away and wanted to go back to take a nap, but suddenly he realized something was wrong.
It's already nine in the morning, right? Why is it so dark outside?
He opened the curtains and looked outside. There was no light at all. Not to mention during the day, this was the city center, and even at night it wasn't this dark.
He muttered to himself, but the darkness spread rapidly in the house, enveloping the entire house in darkness.
"What's going on?" Fan Zhaoguo was horrified. He fumbled for the light, but couldn't find any furniture. It was as if he was no longer in his familiar home, but in some strange space.
The darkness was thick, without a single ray of light. And in this thick darkness, not a single sound was heard.
This quiet, eerie darkness seemed somewhat familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where it was at the moment.
Time passed minute by minute, and the silence made him feel irritated. He seemed to be able to hear the sound of his blood flowing in his ear canal, and the sound of his heart beating...
The mental pressure gradually increased, his heartbeat began to become disordered, and the violent heartbeat even scared himself.
Time seemed to slow down and stretch out, and human society was receding. He began to panic. Would he be trapped here forever? Could he ever get out? Was he going to die?
Intense panic seized his mind, and he couldn't help begging: "Let me out! Is there anyone? Let me out! Hurry up--"
The voice echoed in the space, but received no response. He became even more uneasy and even knelt down and kowtowed, "God, Buddha, please let me out..."
He used to be proud of using this method to punish Xu Mengru, but when it came to his turn, he couldn't even last a few hours.
Suddenly, a light laugh was heard in the darkness.
Fan Zhaoguo was ecstatic. "Is there someone there? Who is it? Xiaomei?"
The voice was filled with a cold aura, "Can I turn on the light for you?"
Fan Zhaoguo was already overwhelmed with joy and nodded repeatedly, "Turn on the lights, turn on the lights quickly!"
A beam of light flashed down, but it didn't hit Fan Zhaoguo, but hit a face -
It was an incomparably terrifying face, pale and pale, with only two holes for eyes. Tears of blood flowed from the holes, leaving two bloody streaks on the cheeks. Inside the mouth were fangs stained with flesh and blood, and blood was also flowing from the mouth.
What’s even more terrifying is that this face is right in front of Fan Zhaoguo, almost face to face with him.
Just when Fan Zhaoguo was sure that he could see the face clearly, the light suddenly flashed and disappeared again, and the surroundings were dark again.
However, the only light in the darkness cast that face firmly on Fan Zhaoguo's retina. Fan Zhaoguo let out a terrifying scream, and his tonsils almost popped out of his throat.
He screamed and crawled backwards using his hands and feet, tears streaming down his face and his pants were wet.
After darkness returned again, Fan Zhaoguo always felt that the ghost face was everywhere, right beside him, and even in front of him.
He was so frightened that he howled and struggled desperately, rolling and crawling. Being in darkness for a long time made him hallucinate.
The ghost face seemed to have really appeared and was gnawing at his flesh. He seemed to see his own blood flowing out of the ghost face's mouth, and his arm was in great pain...
However, he didn't know that he was now gnawing at his own flesh and blood bit by bit. The hallucinations and fear made him start to hurt himself.
Outside, Sun Fei and Granny Dengying stood at the doorway, concealing their figures. Sun Fei snorted twice, "The director forbade anyone from getting killed, so I'm really unwilling to let him go like this. But Granny, you're quite capable. Your shadow is very useful, it doesn't let any light through."
Granny Dengying smiled with her toothless mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "When Candle Girl and I teamed up to scare people, your ancestors were nowhere to be found."
Sun Fei put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't even know where my ancestors are now!"
The old man and the young man chuckled, clapped their hands, and went back to report.
Gu Wang had already known what the two of them had done through the water curtain and had called the police just before they returned.
He called Yu Lu directly. Considering that Xu Mengru was the person who reported the case, he felt more relaxed communicating with the female police officer.
Yu Lu arrived quickly, and her expression on Gu Wang's face was complicated. He had no idea that he was already well-known in their Public Security Bureau. In just a short time, he had already given them several year-end bonuses.
However, after she heard Xu Mengru's situation, her eyes became serious. She packed up all the evidence and took it away, saying that she would investigate the case thoroughly.
Also taken away was Lao Zhao, who had been in cahoots with Fan Zhaoguo and had also been involved in the crime of pimping.
As Yu Lu took the man away, Xu Mengru suddenly woke up. Is this... over? The nightmare that had tormented her for so many years was resolved so easily? All it took was a phone call...
She suddenly looked up and looked at Gu Wang, her benefactor...
But Gu Wang suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, go to the beauty salon and get your face treated. Since you're the first customer here, I won't charge you!"
Xu Mengru laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. "No need for a free meal. I'll pay. I still have some money."
Of course Gu Wang would not refuse. He took the person to the beauty salon and handed him over to the Acne Monster, which had not yet opened.
The pox demon was frightened at first when he saw the face, thinking it was his victim who had come to visit him! Only when he heard Gu Wang asking him to treat it well did he feel relieved.
Although Xu Mengru's face was ruined by herself, it was originally caused by the acne demon's illness, which he could cure.
The acne demon adjusted his wretched green hat and used all his strength to suck away the sick air from Xu Mengru's face.
That terrifying face slowly became smooth again. After all, Xu Mengru was an actress and she looked pretty good.
So, Xu Mengru, who came like a walking corpse, left as if she had been reborn.
After returning, she learned two pieces of news: Fan Zhaoguo was arrested. It was said that he was covered in wounds when he was arrested, all of which were bitten by himself. He probably wanted to pretend to be mentally ill to escape responsibility; the studio was investigated and many people were arrested.
Everyone was in a panic, except Xu Mengru, who was smiling at the door of the studio, witnessing a case of evil being punished.
After laughing, she thought of the young master who helped her a lot, and felt that she should do something.
Thinking about what the other party said, that she was the first customer of the beauty salon, Xu Mengru had the answer in her mind.
Just as rumors were gradually spreading online that a certain female star's studio was being investigated, Xu Mengru, the person vaguely implied, suddenly posted on Weibo.
The accompanying picture showed a selfie of her skin, which was smooth and tender, making her look ten years younger. The caption read: "On a whim, I went to the beauty salon at @Fengdu Amusement Park to get a facial. I didn't expect the results to be so perfect! I heard I was the first customer at the beauty salon. How could this be possible? I have to recommend it to everyone!"
Xu Mengru, who was at the center of the incident, was already receiving attention. Once this Weibo post was released...
Well, the amusement park is trending again.
