Chapter 136: Children's Giggling Voice (16) (1)
Yan Shixun was still wondering where Zhang Wubing had gone, but when Ye Li held his wrist and walked into the cloakroom of the two daughters of the Jing family, he no longer cared about Zhang Wubing who was squatting on the ground at a loss.
He rushed over and quickly felt Bai Shuang's pulse with his fingers. After hearing her pulse, which was weak but still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly checked Bai Shuang's condition.
Although Zhang Wubing discovered Bai Shuang first, he had no idea what to do. He just remembered not to act rashly, but he ignored Bai Shuang's skin that was frozen like ice.
Yan Shixun didn't have time to look for anything else. After being shocked by the temperature of the tentacles, he quickly took off his coat and covered Bai Shuang with it. After making sure that she had no injuries other than her head, he immediately wrapped her in his coat and picked her up steadily.
The others followed up the stairs a few steps behind, and when they saw Bai Shuang who had lost consciousness, they all exclaimed.
"Bai Shuang? Wait, I didn't seem to see her just now?" Zhao Zhen immediately recalled and confirmed that when he went upstairs to check just now, he did not find any trace of Bai Shuang.
Yan Shixun didn't bother to explain to others. Instead, he silently chanted the Golden Light Mantra to protect Bai Shuang's body while trying to raise her body temperature as quickly as possible.
It was not until Bai Shuang's body, which had been as cold as ice, slowly returned to normal body temperature that Yan Shixun breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to other places.
With the help of the kerosene lamp, Yan Shixun suddenly discovered that there were some shiny little fragments reflecting light scattered in Bai Shuang's hair. He reached out to touch them in confusion, and then realized what they were.
Broken wine glass.
It was very similar to the broken glass scattered on the carpet in the living room that had just scratched Chi Yan's palm.
However, if Bai Shuang's identity was set from the beginning to be in the cloakroom on the second floor, then why would she be associated with the broken glass on the first floor?
Yan Shixun remembered it very clearly. Chi Yan's narration was that when she woke up, there was a broken wine glass next to her, and it was then discovered by Zhang Wubing, who woke up first.
Just now, after unexpectedly meeting An Nanyuan and others, Yan Shixun asked about their respective situations and was very sure of one thing - the place where each of them woke up and their respective initial scenes were full of meaning and could not be easily ignored.
For example, when he woke up, he was not in the Jing residence, and was warned that he would be assassinated within three days. However, when Ye Li woke up, he happened to avoid an assassination, which meant that someone in the Jing residence wanted to harm him.
But the scene when Chi Yan woke up made Yan Shixun unable to find a corresponding situation until now, but suddenly he connected it to Bai Shuang.
This made Yan Shixun realize that something was wrong.
Before this, Zhang Wubing should have been the first to wake up, but he did not see Bai Shuang, which means that she should not have gone downstairs.
When all the clues came together, Yan Shixun frowned.
He sensed that something was wrong, and the most common explanation was that someone had lied.
Being able to lie without being discovered by others...
Yan Shixun turned his gaze towards Chi Yan calmly.
She was looking at Bai Shuang anxiously, appearing to be very concerned about this junior who had always shown admiration for her.
"Xiaobing, what happened to Bai Shuang?" Yan Shixun asked calmly, "There was no trace of her on the second floor before."
Zhang Wubing scratched his head and told the truth.
When Yan Shixun heard that Zhang Wubing found the unconscious Bai Shuang in the safe house behind the mirror, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at Chi Yan with uncontrollable anger and he didn't even care if Chi Yan discovered his actions.
Chi Yan was suddenly struck by such a gaze and subconsciously took two steps back as if she could not bear the pressure. She was caught off guard and looked guilty and flustered.
Ye Li raised his eyelashes and looked at Chi Yan with a cold gaze without a trace of warmth, as if he had already judged her sins. In his eyes, Chi Yan's name had already been listed in the list of Fengdu, and even if she was still alive, she was no different from being dead.
Yan Shixun slowly took a step forward: "Chi Yan, do you mind telling us again what happened when you woke up?"
"Yan, Mr. Yan."
Chi Yan forced a smile, trying to suppress her frantic heartbeat, and asked tentatively, "Is there a problem? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Mr. Yan, please help Bai Shuang as soon as possible. I am a little worried about her condition."
Chi Yan looked at Bai Shuang who was completely unconscious, and tried to cover up her problem with something more urgent: "She doesn't look optimistic. Should we leave quickly and find a doctor?"
Director Li Xuetang, who had just walked in and saw this scene, nodded in agreement and was immediately dissatisfied with Yan Shixun. He thought to himself that this person looked good, but how could he not care about life at all? Now that someone needs help, he is so indifferent.
"Chi Yan is right, we should leave here quickly and send this girl to the doctor."
Li Xuetang frowned and looked at Yan Shixun unkindly: "It's much better than wasting time here and worrying about unimportant issues."
Yan Shixun looked over indifferently, and their eyes met, but neither of them was willing to give in.
The others were horrified and dared not speak.
"It's not important." Yan Shixun repeated word by word, sneering: "If Chi Yan can describe the situation of her waking up completely and accurately, then I believe this is not important. But if not."
Yan Shixun stared at Chi Yan coldly.
She shuddered, fear hidden in her eyes.
The confused audience was also a little bewildered when they saw the temperature suddenly drop to freezing point.
[Why didn’t I understand what Brother Yan meant? Did he mean that Chi Yan said that there was something wrong with her experience?]
[Isn’t Brother Yan’s attitude towards Chi Yan a bit too bad? I don’t mean anything else, I just want to give some advice. It’s really not a good impression, and it makes me hate Brother Yan a little bit. I hope Brother Yan’s attitude will be better.]
[No, Brother Yan is not the type to say such things to others for no reason. I think it should be Chi Yan. Did she lie? Or did she hide something from others? I just felt that Chi Yan's expression was so strange, a bit like she was acting, not her real expression.]
[Ah... Brother Yan's attitude towards Chi Yan started to be bad, didn't you see? It started when Chi Yan said she raised a ghost herself.]
[I admit that I have a prejudice against Chi Yan now, so is it that Chi Yan did something else and was discovered by Brother Yan, so he is so angry?]
[It seems that ever since he discovered Miss Bai Shuang, Brother Yan has felt something is wrong when looking at Chi Yan.]
[But Bai Shuang's situation is definitely not right! What Director Zhang just said made me, a grown man, have my hair stand on end. Her head was broken and she was thrown behind a mirror, so a safe house must be hidden. If Director Zhang hadn't found Bai Shuang by accident, Bai Shuang would have stayed behind the mirror and no one could have saved her! The worst possible scenario is that she might have died!]
[Uh, don't get so emotional. Although Chi Yan is indeed suspicious and Bai Shuang is indeed pitiful, this is a script. I can only say that their respective roles are so brilliant that you can feel involved. And look, isn't Director Li Xuetang here? He has already spoken, so there should be no problem.]
[I don't understand, but I support Brother Yan. I can't see the others. Besides, the camera follows the guests like before, but now it keeps moving and skips steps. We don't see many things. From this point of view, Brother Yan is the only one we can trust.]
Li Xuetang was not as confident about the script as the audience had guessed. In fact, he woke up in the rickshaw, and before he knew where he was, Lu Xingxing and others hurriedly took him to the car and drove all the way here. As for the current situation, he was not even as knowledgeable as the audience who had been watching the live broadcast for a while.
But out of gentlemanly sentiments, he instinctively disliked Yan Shixun's attitude towards Chi Yan - it was too aggressive, as if he was treating a criminal.
So, even though he felt that something was not right, Director Li Xuetang, who did not know the cause and effect and had not heard Chi Yan admit in person that she had a ghost, still stepped forward and stood in front of Chi Yan.
But Lu Xingxing grabbed his arm and pulled him back from the front.
"Director Li, I like to be the center of attention, and everyone can see me. So I don't really like Brother Yan stealing my limelight. I always want to prove myself in front of Brother Yan and let the master recognize me. But."
Lu Xingxing said in a calm tone, "You have to admit that some people are naturally more talented and work harder than you. You can't deny it. Like Brother Yan, even if I don't like him, I have to admit that what he says is right."
"So for those of us who have just arrived and have no idea what happened before, please don't interrupt or you will be annoying."
Lu Xingxing smiled, and with the clothes he wore, he looked cynical and like a frivolous playboy. But his grip was so strong that Li Xuetang couldn't break free, and he looked at him in surprise.
Seeing that Li Xuetang was about to say something angrily, the others came to their senses. An Nanyuan and Zhao Zhen walked over quickly and carried Director Li Xuetang out to prevent him from interfering with Yan Shixun.
The last person who could ask for help was gone, and Chi Yan's expression suddenly became much more flustered, and she couldn't suppress it anymore.
"Mr. Yan, what are you doing? And Director Li, why are you treating him like this?"
Having said that, Chi Yan stepped on her high heels and wanted to go out to find Li Xuetang.
But except for Chi Yan and Li Xuetang, everyone here is the original guest of the program. They have experienced many life and death crises together, and their trust and affection for each other have long surpassed that of ordinary friends.
At this time, they not only trusted Yan Shixun and knew that he would not say anything casually, but they were also angry at those who hurt Bai Shuang.
Because of the tacit understanding between them, Yan Shixun's meaning seemed so clear to others.
——Chi Yan was covering up for the person who hurt Bai Shuang. Even if it wasn’t true, Chi Yan at least lied.
So at this moment, when Chi Yan wanted to take the opportunity to go out and look for Li Xuetang, she was blocked at the door by Zhao Zhen and others in silence. They looked at Chi Yan expressionlessly, no longer looking at him with respect as a Grand Slam senior, but with silent scrutiny.
What have you done?
Bai Shuang, who hurt her?
Their eyes revealed anger, which made Chi Yan tremble with fear.
"Chi Yan, I hate to dictate other people's lives. In my opinion, people are free to do what they want to do and it has nothing to do with me. I won't easily interfere with other people's karma, but if something happens right in front of me, it's different."
Yan Shixun said indifferently: "There is a saying, I don't know if you have heard it before - those who do too much evil will eventually perish."
Chi Yan's thin shoulders trembled.
"I advise you to tell the truth now. Don't wait for me to use other means."
Yan Shixun sneered and mentioned the corpse in the living room: "Do you also want to try to die in the same way as him?"
Even though Chi Yan refused to admit it, she and Yan Shixun knew it very well. The dead master was the one who helped her worship the little ghost many years ago. But now, the master died miserably, and Chi Yan herself had already experienced so many strange visions.
Perhaps in the next moment, the little ghost who broke free from control and came back for revenge would reach out to Chi Yan...
Chi Yan's psychological defenses almost collapsed. She turned around and looked at Yan Shixun with despair in her heart. Her expression was desolate. Her heart felt empty as if a big hole had been broken in it, and the emptiness could not fall back into her chest.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Chi Yan's voice was sharp: "Mr. Yan, is that what I wanted? I was forced to do it! It's all that brat's fault. If he hadn't done these things, I wouldn't have done anything to Bai Shuang!"
Chi Yan's words shocked everyone. Even Li Xuetang's original indignant struggle stopped. He looked at Chi Yan in surprise, wondering why she would say such a thing.
The only person who remained calm at the scene was Yan Shixun, who had already guessed about all this.
"It's not just Bai Shuang who has problems. Chi Yan, you know it very well." Yan Shixun took out the identity badge from his arms and showed it to Chi Yan: "This identity badge is downstairs, but we all know that the identity certificate will be on us or where we wake up."
It was the plaque that Zhao Zhen found under the sofa in the living room, with the words "Binhai Girls' Middle School, Jing Wan" written on it.
"You are the only one awake in the living room, but why are there other people's nameplates? Besides, Zhang Wubing's identity is not right."
Zhang Wubing blinked in confusion, not knowing how the thought suddenly shifted from Chi Yan to his own head.
Yan Shixun pointed at Zhang Wubing's clothes, which now fit him well after he changed, and asked him, "Xiaobing, the clothes you wore when you just woke up were the wrong size and made you uncomfortable. Why do they fit you now?"
Zhang Wubing was confused: "Maybe, it's because of a new outfit?"
"No, because what you were wearing before was someone else's clothes."
Yan Shixun tapped his suit jacket with his fingers: "The man who did all this restored even the smallest details. How could he ignore such a rough detail as the clothes not fitting? But the clothes you were wearing when you woke up..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's so ugly that it hurts the eyes."
Zhang Wubing: "QAQ doesn't have to be so direct."
"But after you changed your clothes, this feeling of mismatch disappeared." Yan Shixun looked around the cloakroom and asked, "How do you choose clothes?"
Zhang Wubing was confused: "He must be looking for clothes in the closet that I can wear."
"But you are still wearing a school uniform, why is there such a big difference?" Yan Shixun gave the bewildered Zhang Wubing an answer: "Because what you are wearing now is the clothes of your own identity, and the clothes before were clothes that replaced someone else's identity."
"You are not the eldest daughter of the Jing family, Jing Xiuwen, but the second daughter, Jing Wan. Because the two girls share the same cloakroom, you got clothes of your original size when you changed clothes. As for the clothes you wore before, I'm afraid someone changed them into clothes belonging to Jing Xiuwen in order to confuse people."
Although Jing Xiuwen and Jing Wan are both students of Binhai Girls' Middle School, they are in different grades, so their names and grades are embroidered on their school uniforms, which makes them look different.
This can also be clearly seen in the photo of Jing Xiuwen and Lin Ting on the desk.
"So, someone deliberately swapped the identities of the two daughters. But why did the other party spend so much time doing this..."
Yan Shixun's gaze slowly moved towards the study room outside the suite. In the photo frames on the desk, Jing Xiuwen and Lin Ting were smiling brightly, as close as mother and daughter, with no barriers between them.
"Because the person who did this knew very well that Jing Xiuwen would point out that there was something wrong with her identity."
Yan Shixun's eyes were as sharp as lightning, pointing directly at Chi Yan: "If it is the real Jing Xiuwen, she should have evidence against Lin Ting in her hand - whether it is a verbal message, a note, or something else. She will prove what the real Lin Ting should look like, or where she is now."
Chi Yan's face turned pale, as if he knew that everything he had done was completely exposed and he could no longer make excuses.
The others felt as if they were trying to unravel a mystery. It was not until Yan Shixun looked intently at Chi Yan, who had a dejected expression, that they finally understood and figured out what was going on.
"So, Director Zhang's ID card actually shows Jing Wan, and Bai Shuang is Jing Xiuwen? And Sister Chi Yan is not Lin Ting, but someone else. Because Jing Xiuwen would know about Lin Ting's situation, so in order to make Jing Xiuwen shut up, Sister Chi Yan knocked Bai Shuang unconscious and hid her away?"
"Because Jing Xiuwen's things are all in the study, it's easy for others to find Jing Xiuwen's existence with just a little searching, and it can't be concealed. So after hiding Bai Shuang, Chi Yan needs a new Jing Xiuwen? If Chi Yan wants to completely cover up the fact that she is not Lin Ting, then it must be necessary for others not to be suspicious of this matter at all, and it is best not to even ask about it, this is the safest way."
"Yes, that's why Director Zhang's clothes were changed and he was called Jing Xiuwen. And Jing Wan has a low sense of presence, so even if she doesn't exist, no one would ask."
"But I still found Jing Wan's identity plate in the living room on the first floor." During the discussion, Zhao Zhen felt his heart heavy with weight.
He looked at Chi Yan with a complicated expression.
Even though he knew that Chi Yan had raised a little ghost and had done something so horrible that it was beyond imagination, he actually didn't expect that Chi Yan would actually hurt a living person.
Bai Shuang has always had an admiring attitude towards Chi Yan. She always calls her "Sister Chi Yan" and "Sister Chi Yan" and is as happy as a joyful child.
But in order to cover up the truth, Chi Yan was so cruel as to hurt Bai Shuang...
This has exceeded Zhao Zhen's expectations for normal people.
Under the condemning gazes of the crowd, Chi Yan stood in the square as if with a complaint full of sins on his back, accepting public execution.
Even Chi Yan, who had experienced many storms, found it difficult to bear the gazes of so many people for a moment, and seemed frightened and uneasy.
"Perhaps Bai Shuang finally repented when she was about to lose consciousness after being hit on the head by you, so she left clues and wanted others to find her. Or, there are other beings in the Jing residence who have been watching what you did, so they decided to help Bai Shuang."
Yan Shixun said coldly: "But no matter what, Chi Yan - it was you who hurt Bai Shuang."
The audience in front of the camera went wild.
[Fuck! Is Chi Yan crazy? I don’t think it’s a big deal that she raises a ghost. After all, the ghost is a dead child. She didn’t kill it. What’s the big deal? But hurting her companions is really unbearable!]
[This is no longer an injury, this is directly aimed at Bai Shuang's death! ! Look at Bai Shuang's injuries, she is completely unconscious. If she doesn't get treatment, she will definitely die! ]
[I also think that if Director Zhang hadn't accidentally discovered Bai Shuang, she would have really died. You see, as soon as Brother Yan entered the room, he immediately restored Bai Shuang's body temperature. She must have been frozen. If this continued, even if other factors didn't kill her, she would have suffered from hypothermia.]
[This is freezing to death... Chi Yan, you have such a cruel heart!]
[What kind of person is this? ? When I think about the fact that I liked Chi Yan before, I'm going crazy. This is so vicious that it's beyond the limit! And Bai Shuang has never concealed the fact that she is a fan of Chi Yan. She always called her sister when she was on the crew. Chi Yan must know it! Even if a normal person wants to hurt others, he or she will hesitate when facing someone who admires him or her so much and is close to him or her, right? But Chi Yan didn't show it at all!! ]
[That's right. I agree with your analysis. Even if a person is born a bad person, he or she will still show some warmth to the people around him or her, right? And Bai Shuang's smile is so cute. I feel soft in my heart every time I see her. I didn't expect Chi Yan to be so cruel.]
[Oh my god!!! Chi Yan, you are so heartless! How can you treat Sister Bai Shuang like this!!]
[I may have a bit of an analyst's occupational disease, but I think that someone like Chi Yan, who focuses on interests, would definitely not do meaningless things for no reason, right? She knocked Bai Shuang unconscious on the first floor, dragged her to the second floor to hide, and then changed Director Zhang's clothes. She definitely didn't do all these things on a whim, she was trying to cover up something more important.]
[That’s right, for example, Brother Yan still hasn’t figured out the thing—whose ID card is Chi Yan holding? If she is not Lin Ting, then who is she? Why does she have to hide her identity?]
[If a person wants to get rid of his original identity, it must be because there is something wrong with that identity, he has done bad things, it will bring disaster, etc. So which category does Chi Yan belong to?]
[It’s a bit strange. In this case, Director Zhang is not the first one to wake up. Otherwise, why would he watch others change his clothes?]
[Fuck, how many lies has Chi Yan told? No, the question should be, is there a single true word in what Chi Yan said?]
Chi Yan refused to say a word. She bit her red lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind not to say another word.
She had slowly realized that Yan Shixun was different from the masters she had invited. He would not help people in a clear-cut way, but would seek the truth on his own. Even as Yan Shixun said in the living room, he would probably help the ghosts deal with him - as long as he thought it was the right cause and effect.
However, this person who was dangerous to Chi Yan knew human nature too well, so much so that even Chi Yan was not aware of it just now. His psychological defenses collapsed after being told by Yan Shixun, and he shouted out the truth directly, making others realize that something was wrong.
So Chi Yan now feels that the more she speaks, the more mistakes she makes. It would be better for her to keep silent. Perhaps she can wait for a while, when everyone’s emotions are not so intense, and then she can reverse the current trend.
However, Chi Yan refused to speak, but Yan Shixun never stopped trying to unravel the truth.
"Xiaobing was not the first one to wake up. It was you. After you woke up in the living room, you saw Baishuang there. You may have searched her body for things, or found some other clues, and realized that the ID card you got was problematic and might be targeted by others. So, you decided to change your identity while no one noticed."
Yan Shixun said: "At this time, Bai Shuang was a stumbling block to you, so you had to get rid of her. You smashed her head with a wine bottle to ensure that she would not wake up, and then replaced her identity with Xiao Bing. After hiding Bai Shuang in the cloakroom, you replaced his identity with Jing Xiuwen before Xiao Bing woke up."
"After doing all this, go back to the living room on the first floor and lie on the floor waiting for others to wake up and find you. This way, you can clear yourself of suspicion and say that you are not the first one to wake up, so naturally no one will suspect you."
Yan Shixun's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at Chi Yan with deep disgust: "But Chi Yan, as long as you do something, it will always leave traces. Do you think no one knows except you? But the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth know."
"And a certain existence in the Jing residence... chose to stand against you and helped Bai Shuang."
Yan Shixun asked Chi Yan in a low voice: "Are you disappointed to see that Bai Shuang is not dead?"
At this time, Li Xuetang, who finally understood the whole story, looked at Chi Yan in surprise, with deep disappointment and disgust.
Chi Yan shook her head and stepped back, as if she wanted to deny Yan Shixun's words, and continued to play the role of Lin Ting with a good image.
But now that they know the truth and have discovered that Chi Yan has done so many terrible things without telling anyone, how could others let her go?
Lu Xingxing stepped forward angrily, blocking Chi Yan's steps as she tried to retreat: "Although Bai Shuang and I only have some intersections in the music industry, she and you are not! You know very well how much she admires you. She has always been around you like a little fan, and you actually had the heart to do that to her?"
Li Xuetang had deep vertical lines between his eyebrows, and he looked at Chi Yan with disappointment and disgust: "There has been constant talk about you, but I always choose to believe you, because I still remember how hard you worked to hone your acting skills when you first debuted decades ago."
"So I insisted on using you despite all the opposition, not only for the integrity of my script, but also for the sake of not letting outstanding actors go unnoticed. But, is this how you repay my trust?"
Everyone cast scrutinizing glances at Chi Yan, and the disgust in their eyes deeply hurt Chi Yan.
She screamed suddenly as if she was in collapse. The sharp voice was filled with heart-wrenching despair and anger, echoing in the well house and making everyone stop what they were saying.
Several people subconsciously covered their ears, almost thinking they were going to be deafened.
Chi Yan shouted for a full minute, as if she wanted to vent all the fear and despair that had been accumulating in her heart for so many years.
When she stopped panting, her beautiful eyes were red, her face was hideous and distorted, and she had lost her former beauty.
"Who are you to scold me? Do any of you know how desperate I am?"
Chi Yan said angrily: "Something wants to harm me. It even killed the two cats I raised before. The master who helped me is also dead. I will be the next one."
"I just want to live. Yan Shixun rejected me. No one is helping me. Then I can only save myself!"
Chi Yan's eyes were filled with hatred: "Look at you, even though you were brought to this hellhole, you are still fine? Holding a beautiful ID card, you know you will be safe, naive and stupid. But for someone like me who got a bad ID card, do I deserve to die?"
"I am smarter than everyone else. I know how to survive, so I took action and replaced my ID card."
After shouting out all the pressure that had been accumulating in her heart, Chi Yan's originally panicked breathing slowly calmed down. The more she spoke, the calmer she became, as if she was not speaking to other people, but to convince herself that what she was doing was right.
"I'm not wrong, it's that brat who's wrong." Chi Yan pointed at Yan Shixun angrily and said to everyone, "Yan Shixun is the culprit!"
“If he had been willing to help me deal with that damned uncontrollable brat, how could there have been so many subsequent problems? Then we wouldn’t have been brought here by that brat, and Bai Shuang wouldn’t have been hurt, and none of this would have happened.”
Chi Yan looked at Yan Shixun coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment: "You are the cause of all this!"
No one spoke in the room for a moment.
But it wasn't that the others were convinced by Chi Yan, but they were shocked. They didn't expect that someone could have such selfish ideas, thinking that others were wrong and they had done nothing wrong.
Even Yan Shixun, whom Chi Yan accused - Lu Xingxing, who had just arrived at Jing's house and had not seen what had happened before, felt that this matter was simply too outrageous.
You can accuse others of refusing to help you because you are so sinful that you are almost like a ghost. What kind of logic is this? If I am so poor, is it because others are unwilling to give me money? Is everyone sorry for me?
Even Zhao Zhen and Li Xuetang, who were in the same circle as Chi Yan, were shocked. They didn't expect that such a top actor who had been famous for a long time would still have such selfish and stupid ideas.
Li Xuetang couldn't help but think of that winter decades ago. At that time, he was still a young director who had just debuted. He could only help out in other large crews and secretly learn other people's techniques and theories.
And it was at that time that he saw Chi Yan.
The skinny little girl, who looked like she wasn't even an adult, was wrapped in a military coat in an empty studio, performing a monologue over and over again, trying to figure out the character's thoughts and how to act them out.
The set was cold and dark, but in Li Xuetang's eyes, Chi Yan, who was still a little girl, shone so brightly.
At that time, Li Xuetang knew that Chi Yan would one day start her own era, which would be brilliant and dazzling and would not be buried by the heavy snow in winter.
And the facts proved to Li Xuetang that this was indeed the case.
Even though there has been a constant stream of press releases targeting Chi Yan, some people said that she had a ghost and used improper means to obtain luck that did not belong to her, which is how she became so popular.
There have always been similar statements, but Li Xuetang just sneered at them.
——In his heart, Chi Yan will always be the image of the one who was wrapped in a military coat, whose face turned pale and whose voice was trembling from the cold, but who was still standing on the set practicing hard alone.
But now…
Li Xuetang stared blankly at Chi Yan, who looked like a madman in front of him. The image of the little girl many years ago gradually faded away, and was replaced by Chi Yan's current hideous face.
"Chi Yan." Li Xuetang sighed, as if exhausted after being angry. He whispered, "I always believed that you would become the most dazzling person, but why did you do it this way?"
Chi Yan sneered and looked at Li Xuetang with red eyes: "What do you know? Have you experienced everything I have experienced? You know the waters of the entertainment industry..."
She pointed her thumb down at the ground with disgust in her eyes: "How dirty it is."
The others were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to Chi Yan.
They have realized that Chi Yan has gone insane. She is now completely unable to listen to what others say and only acts according to her own understanding.
But the audience in front of the camera witnessed this drama of the collapse of their worldview with their own eyes, and they were torn apart.
[Who the hell said this was in the script? Get out of here! Chi Yan is the heroine of the movie that Director Li Xuetang values the most. If she really has no problems, would Director Li Xuetang say this about her? Isn't that asking for trouble?]
[The above is because Director Li said it himself, so it proves that this is a script. Otherwise, do you think Director Li is crazy? What does he want to do by destroying his own heroine?]
[Maybe. Director Li seems to be a very upright person. I heard that many people who have worked with him said that he is a drama fanatic who can't even take care of his own life and is devoted to the pursuit of film art. Such people are generally very pure. Maybe he just can't stand what Chi Yan did, and he wants to expose Chi Yan even if the movie is not filmed.]
[I don’t care if this is a script or not, but I was really shocked by Chi Yan’s appearance just now. How could he be so crazy? My mom just knocked on the door and told me not to watch horror movies in the middle of the night.]
[I was also almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest, just like the psychopathic woman next door to my house. How could Chi Yan become like this? She used to be my goddess...]
[Chi Yan!!! Is this really something a human being can do? I was so angry when I heard her scolding Brother Yan through the screen, but it’s a pity that Brother Yan could still be so calm!]
[It’s so funny. Before this show, Brother Yan probably didn’t even know who Chi Yan was. How could we expect him to pay attention to the entertainment industry when he doesn’t even have a social media account and doesn’t carry a phone with him on a daily basis? Chi Yan wants to find someone to blame? She’s looking for the wrong person.]
[Yes, it was clearly her own fault, and she raised the kid herself, why is she scolding Brother Yan?]
[What she said was very informative. Damn, I can already imagine how lively the social media platforms will be tomorrow. Public opinion will definitely explode, right? I don’t know if her company will help her with PR, but I think no matter which PR company takes it, they should pay more. This is too difficult.]
[Because the contrast is too strong, Chi Yan used to be such a gentle goddess, but now she is a crazy woman. It will be difficult to restore her popularity.]
[It doesn’t need to be tomorrow, it’s already fermenting, and it’s going crazy on social platforms, go check it out.]
In the Jing residence, after the awkward silence passed, Yan Shixun raised his lips and actually laughed.
"You just said... that all of this should be blamed on that out-of-control brat?"
He chuckled and said, "Well, I finally know what's going on now."
The words that Chi Yan said during her emotional breakdown were like the last piece of a puzzle, successfully completing the puzzle of thoughts in Yan Shixun's mind.
