Chapter 215 Rival
Su Yinan's heart sank to the bottom. He tried to convince himself that Yun Yixing would be fine, and that she would soon run towards him, jumping and skipping like before, tilting her head and hugging his arm, acting coquettishly.
But that is not the case.
Su Yinan saw Yun Yixing's pale face through the gap in the crowd - the crew searched the entire set and finally found her under the city wall. When they found her, she was unconscious and her body was covered with wounds.
That's right, she jumped down from the city wall that was more than ten meters high.
Su Yinan didn't know how he got the person to the hospital. He waited outside for as long as Yun Yixing was in the emergency room.
The doctor said that when Yun Yixing fell, she hit the grass under the city wall, which alleviated most of the impact, so her injuries were tricky but not fatal.
I just don't know why, she has been unconscious and hasn't woken up.
Thinking about the strange things that happened to Yun Yixing in recent days, Su Yinan suddenly remembered his younger brother - Su Leyun was not an ordinary person, maybe he knew what was going on!
That's why he hurriedly called and asked Su Leyun to return to China to help.
Su Yinan's voice was low and suppressed: "It's all my fault. If I had cared more about Xingxing at that time and taken her away from the crew earlier, perhaps this would not have happened."
Su Leyun looked at Yun Yixing in the ward and shook his head: "She is destined to have this disaster. You are her only hope. Don't blame yourself too much, brother."
These words did not comfort Su Yinan. His expression became serious: "When the doctor drew blood from Yun Yixing, he found a large amount of cinnabar in her blood."
“Cinnabar?” Chu Yanxiao raised his head abruptly, frowning. “Cinnabar was used in ancient times to draw talismans and ward off evil spirits, but if taken in large quantities, it can cause poisoning or even death. How could Yun Yixing…”
This thing is not common in modern times, and ordinary people can't even come into contact with it. How could Yun Yixing have it in his blood?
Su Yinan nodded: "No one knows what is going on. Perhaps this is not something that can be explained by science."
Su Leyun stood aside, his eyes calm, "In ancient Southeast Asian spells, cinnabar is often used as a medium for blood sacrifice rituals. If there is cinnabar in Yun Yixing's blood, then it is very likely... someone has cast a curse on her."
During the more than ten years that he has been a human, Su Leyun has occasionally studied supernatural phenomena in other countries and regions. He finds the spells in Southeast Asia particularly interesting.
I never thought it would be useful in this way one day.
Su Yinan's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Curse? Are you saying someone wants to harm her?"
Su Leyun nodded: "Cinnabar, black fog, mirror, these clues together are very similar to the evil magic of raising ghosts in Southeast Asia."
It is very popular to raise Kumantong in some Southeast Asian countries because they believe that the soul is immortal and the soul of a child who died prematurely may become a wandering soul if it is not appeased.
Offering to the Kumantong is believed to provide a final resting place for these souls while also bringing blessings to the offerers.
However, human desires are difficult to satisfy, and often drive the Kumantong to do bad things. Such people will often be retaliated by the Kumantong and will not have a good end.
As for Yun Yixing’s situation, it was as if someone had offered sacrifices to the Kumantong to harm her.
Su Yinan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white: "Who is it? Who did this to Xingxing?"
Chu Yanxiao asked: "Has Yun Yixing offended anyone recently? Or is there anyone who particularly hates her?"
Su Yinan was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly thought of something: "There is indeed such a person."
"Xingxing's rival, Lin Yuke."
Lin Yuke and Yun Yixing are actors who debuted at the same time. They belong to the same entertainment company and have even been good friends for a long time.
But everything stopped when a drama starring Yun Yixing became a hit.
With the hit drama in hand, Yun Yixing has more and more job opportunities, her status and audience appeal are getting better and better, and she has gradually become a first-line actress.
On the other hand, Lin Yuke has been lukewarm. She played the leading role in several dramas but still could not be found. Gradually, no investor was willing to hire her as the leading lady. Yun Yixing took their relationship into consideration and often recommended her to directors he had worked with before. The directors were also willing to give Yun Yixing face and arranged some roles for Lin Yuke.
But Lin Yuke did not appreciate it. She would rather not have any work to do than lower her own status, and she would not even look at scripts for any role other than the female lead.
Later, due to various reasons, the two drifted apart, and Lin Yuke seemed to disappear from the entertainment circle. She returned to acting after a long time, but she no longer had the pride she had before and was willing to take on any role.
Even so, few directors were willing to ask her to film. Later, in order to get promoted, she began to actively accept unspoken rules and even slept with men again and again in order to get the role of the heroine.
After a few years, Yun Yixing's position in the entertainment industry has become increasingly stable, and his popularity has remained high. Although Lin Yuke has given everything, he is still arranged to sit in the last few rows when attending ceremonies.
Because of this, Lin Yuke's jealousy and resentment towards Yun Yixing were almost written on his face. Su Yinan accompanied Yun Yixing to an award ceremony, and Lin Yuke pointed at Yun Yixing's nose and scolded: "Why do you do that? Why do you always stand at the front? How am I inferior to you?"
Yun Yixing just glanced at her indifferently at that time, turned around and pulled Su Yinan away, but Lin Yuke's eyes were like a poisonous snake, staring at her back.
It was also because of this time that Su Yinan learned about the entanglement between the two from Yun Yixing. When Chu Yanxiao asked the question, the first person that popped into Su Yinan's mind was Lin Yuke.
"Lin Yuke." Su Leyun whispered the name, thought for a moment and said, "Brother, send someone to check Lin Yuke's recent movements, especially whether she has come into contact with any strange people or been to any unclean places."
Su Yinan nodded and immediately called his assistant.
The assistant acted quickly and brought the news in less than a day.
"Lin Yuke recently bought a villa on the outskirts of the city, saying that it was to quietly prepare for a new play, but our people confirmed that Lin Yuke has no plans to shoot in the near future."
"The exit records for the past month show that Lin Yuke frequently traveled abroad, with his destination being a small country in Southeast Asia. He also bought a lot of strange things from there and brought them back to China."
The assistant briefly introduced the situation and then handed a stack of information to Su Yinan.
Su Yinan handed all the information to Su Leyun and looked at him nervously: "Le Le, can you help me check if there is any problem?"
