Chapter 57: Next to the bloody birthmark, near the left shoulder blade...
Seeing that the three people were staring at him, Bai Shuxing turned off his phone and stroked his hair: "How is it? Are you mesmerized by my handsomeness?"
Qin Jiangyue looked at Ling Siyan. He just saw that this person came with her.
"This is my nephew, Bai Shuxing."
Bai Shuxing put his hand on Ling Siyan's shoulder and smiled friendly: "No, I'm her brother."
Ling Siyan tilted her head to look at Bai Shuxing and said coldly: "Whose brother are you?"
Bai Shuxing pointed at Qin Jiangyue and said confidently, "Your brother? He calls you Sister Ling. I am about the same age as him, so what's wrong with calling you Sister?"
Ling Siyan corrected him expressionlessly: "He is three years older than you."
"Yes!" Bai Shuxing was more confident: "He is only three years older than me, how can he be one generation older than me?"
Ling Siyan said calmly: "Just because he is eight years younger than me, there is nothing wrong with him calling me sister. Your mother is my sister, so you can only call me aunt. Is this reason sufficient?"
Bai Shuxing choked and stopped talking.
Qin Jiangyue watched this scene, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and when she saw Bai Shuxing looking over, she smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Qin Jiangyue."
Bai Shuxing smiled back: "I know, he's a big star! But -" Bai Shuxing asked curiously: "You don't know me?"
"Mr. Bai, are you referring to your nickname Jade-faced Shura?" Without waiting for Bai Shuxing to answer, Qin Jiangyue said, "Of course I know. Who in City A doesn't know your nickname?"
"It's just that I only heard of him before, but never saw him. Now that I see Mr. Bai—" Qin Jiangyue curled her lips, "I know that the rumors are indeed unreliable."
"Oh?" Bai Shuxing asked with a smile, "What's unbelievable about it?"
"It is said that Jade Face Shura has a ferocious and ugly face, like a demon. He has an unpredictable temper and kills people without hesitation."
Qin Jiangyue paused and said, "But now that I see him, he is clearly a handsome and elegant young man."
Bai Shuxing couldn't help laughing, and approached Qin Jiangyue, whispering, "Do you know where the last person who flattered me is now?"
"Underground?" Qin Jiangyue asked in the same low voice.
"Hey~" Bai Shuxing put his hand on Qin Jiangyue's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency would not do anything that is not in line with your status."
"I just told him that people who lie will go to hell and be honest. I told him to go back and think about how to praise me. Then the next day, my subordinates reported that he had smuggled his family out of the country overnight."
"So, I don't know where he is now." Bai Shuxing took a step back and looked into Qin Jiangyue's eyes with a smile in his eyes: "Do you think such a person is ridiculous?"
"You hate me." Qin Jiangyue's eyes were full of curiosity: "Why? Have I ever offended Bai Shao?"
"Could it be..." Bai Shuxing said softly, "Weren't you the first to show hostility towards me?"
Their eyes met, and they both took in the hint of coldness in each other's eyes.
"What are you two whispering about?" Ling Siyan pulled Bai Shuxing by the collar and pulled him back to her side: "What do you mean by hypnosis?"
Bai Shuxing did not answer Ling Siyan's question, but asked Qin Jiangyue: "Big star, why would you trust a stranger?"
"They are not strangers, they are my fans. They like me—" Qin Jiangyue's voice became lighter: "They make me feel that I am needed by this world."
"Being needed by the world..." Bai Shuxing repeated, chuckled, and said jokingly: "Big star, I didn't expect that you are quite lacking in love. Aren't you tired? It should be much harder to be liked by others than to be hated by others."
"Like me, I have enemies all over the world, so I can live an easy life."
Ling Siyan slapped Bai Shuxing on the shoulder and said unhappily, "Are you still so proud? Tell me, what exactly do you mean by hypnosis?"
"That's exactly what it means!" Bai Shuxing spread his hands, "The girl in the video was hypnotized."
Ling Siyan's eyes were full of suspicion: "How do you know?"
"I figured it out!" Bai Shuxing said casually.
"I can see that..." Ling Siyan took out her cell phone and clicked on the live video of Jiang Ke'er. After watching it for a long time, she didn't notice anything unusual.
"How did you see that? Why can't I see that?"
"Of course you saw it with your eyes, or your nose?" Seeing Ling Siyan raising her hand again, Bai Shuxing quickly jumped behind Qin Jiangyue.
He stuck his head out and grinned at Ling Siyan: "Hey! I didn't hit you again."
At this moment, Qin Jiangyue reached out, pulled Bai Shuxing out from behind him, and pushed him forward.
Bai Shuxing turned around and looked at Qin Jiangyue in disbelief.
Qin Jiangyue's face was full of innocence.
Ling Siyan reached out and pulled Bai Shuxing to her side: "Alright, stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."
"Okay!" Bai Shuxing sighed as if compromising: "You may not believe me. I am a master of hypnosis, so I can tell at a glance that the girl has been hypnotized."
"Hypnotist?" Ling Siyan looked Bai Shuxing up and down, "You?"
"Yeah, me!"
"If it's as Shu Xing said—" Ling Siyan crossed her arms and pondered, "Jiang Ke'er was hypnotized, so what she said in the live broadcast was false and not from the heart."
"But there is also the issue of the hotel's surveillance. This is the ironclad evidence that Jiang Yue slept with her fans."
At this moment, Ling Siyan's cell phone rang.
Ling Siyan glanced at the screen and saw it was Li Yu, so she pressed the answer button.
"Boss Xiao Ling, what did Qin Jiangyue say?"
Ling Siyan glanced at Qin Jiangyue and said, "It wasn't him. Jiangyue didn't go to the hotel that day and stayed in her apartment. But there is no evidence now. How is your investigation going?"
"I asked someone to go to the hotel and the front desk clerk on duty that day said that Jiang Yue and Jiang Ke'er had indeed booked a room together. But I think they are lying."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Ling Siyan asked.
"The incident happened a week ago, but when we asked about it, the other party gave an answer very quickly, as if they had been prepared for it. They said that when they saw the trending search, they remembered what happened that day, and they had expected us to come to their door."
"But..." Li Yu sneered, "Nori Hotel is a five-star hotel with strict management. Employees are not allowed to bring mobile phones during work. So, they are obviously lying."
"Of course, the most important thing is the loopholes in the video itself. Which big star would go to a hotel so brazenly? Is he afraid that he can't catch up with the trending searches?"
"So..." Li Yu hesitated for a moment, "Since Actor Qin has never been to the hotel and the video is not fake, there is only one possibility. Someone who looks exactly like Actor Qin asked Jiang Ke'er out in his name. But we have no idea who this person is and where he is now."
Ling Siyan thought for a moment and said, "Go check the hotel's check-in records for that day and see what identity that person used to register."
"Okay!" Li Yu agreed, with a hint of solemnity in his voice: "Boss Ling, I suspect this incident is aimed at Huaying or even Shengyu Group."
"Before I made this call, there were reports online that Emperor Qin and other Huaying artists had done this before. It was Huaying that was covering up for them and silencing them. We must give an explanation to the outside world as soon as possible, otherwise, the next target of public opinion will be Shengyu Group."
"Understood." Ling Siyan said, "You are in charge of the hotel video line. I will take Jiang Yue to find Jiang Ke'er."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Siyan looked at Bai Shuxing: "Shuxing, you said Jiang Ke'er was hypnotized, can you remove her hypnosis?"
Bai Shuxing shrugged: "No problem."
"Okay, then let's go find Jiang Ke'er."
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the exit of the film and television city, they saw that it was crowded with people.
Seeing them come out, these people rushed over like a tide.
"Die!"
Ling Siyan watched as a man held a transparent glass bottle and threw it at Qin Jiangyue. Her face changed and she shouted "Be careful". She wanted to stand in front of Qin Jiangyue, but she felt a strong force on her arm and was pulled back into the door.
The glass door closed in front of me.
Ling Siyan watched Qin Jiangyue kneel on the ground with a look of pain on his face, and then Lin Zhenzhen stood in front of him and was hit on the head and bleeding by stones thrown by the crowd.
Ling Siyan turned around in disbelief. Bai Shuxing was looking out the glass door with one hand in his pocket. He sighed, "Fortunately, I was quick."
Ling Siyan shook off Bai Shuxing's hand and was about to press the switch on the wall door, but Bai Shuxing grabbed her wrist and said, "Aunt, don't go. You'll get hurt."
"He's just an artist in your company..." Bai Shuxing said in a flat tone, "If we lose this one, we can still train the next one."
Ling Siyan looked up at Bai Shuxing and said only three words: "Let me go."
Bai Shuxing looked at her for two seconds and let go of her hand.
Ling Siyan opened the door and saw her bodyguards squeezed out of the crowd. She shouted at them, "Stop them and don't let them throw things."
Bai Shuxing looked at Ling Siyan's back, curled his lips, and followed her.
Ling Siyan ran to Qin Jiangyue's side, looked at his bloody back, and quickly squatted down to unbutton his shirt. She turned back and shouted to Bai Shuxing, "Call an ambulance."
Bai Shuxing said "Oh" and slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He dialed a number while blocking the scattered things thrown towards Ling Siyan.
"No signal!" Bai Shuxing glanced at his phone and showed the screen to Ling Siyan: "Hey! I can't make a call--"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Shuxing fixed his gaze on Qin Jiangyue's back.
Next to the bloody mess, near the left shoulder blade, there was a gorgeous plum blossom, bright red like blood.
Bai Shuxing’s thoughts returned to that night.
The woman covered in blood lay in his arms, her blood staining his shirt red, but her face was as pale as paper.
The voice was so low that he wouldn't have heard it if he hadn't put his ear close to her lips.
He could not hear the last words she said to him in this world.
"Shuxing, find Brother Bao. He was the one who kidnapped me back then, and later he kidnapped your brother. Find him, find your brother."
"Your brother, like you, has a red plum blossom-shaped birthmark on his back, near his left shoulder blade. You must find him."
"Shuxing, you have to grow up well, together with your brother. Mom will always love you..."
