Baby's Night Walk (Part 2)
Yu Shu once had the opportunity to work in the capital, but he returned to Guangzhou because Yu Ding'an strongly opposed it.
Now that I have set foot in this city again, I still feel a little emotional.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw Yu Shu was in a trance.
Yu Shu curled his lips into a smile, imitating Jiang Yu's tone and demeanor, but a barely perceptible regret flashed across his pupils: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows. Yu Shu had actually been holding a grudge for so long.
The two of them walked towards Wu Yihan's residence in silence.
Jiang Yu and Yu Shu visited the new residence of the boy band members, and their subordinates were responsible for staking out the street where the ghost baby appeared.
The boy group originally had seven members, but strange things kept happening in the group. Two or three of them couldn't bear the mental torture and various strange things, so they chose to leave the group and go solo.
Of the two members who quit the group some time ago, one suffered broken ribs and legs in a car accident, and the other was retaliated by black fans and found a razor blade in his takeout, almost causing internal bleeding in his esophagus.
There were five people left. Jiang Yu and Yu Shu went to check out the residences of four of them. They didn't find any traces of raising ghosts. The place was so clean that it was a little weird, but the people were haunted by evil spirits and had countless physical problems, big and small.
Wu Yihan’s new address is the last one.
According to their description, Wu Yihan is favored by a big boss, has the best resources and has no worries about development if he goes solo. He has a rather introverted personality and is not very sociable except in non-business occasions, but he has always chosen to stay in the group.
And his condition was the mildest among the five people.
The other members still live in apartments, but Wu Yihan has already moved into a large flat.
The dragon on the hand-carved copper door is lifelike, and the red jade embedded in its eyeballs has the luster of gemstones and the subtlety of Chinese style.
"Hello, are you the master Sister Feng mentioned?" Wu Yihan was wearing home pajamas, and she narrowed her eyes slightly behind her plain glasses as she looked at Jiang Yu and Yu Shu.
Even compared with people in the circle, their faces are flawless, and they look two or three years younger than him.
Compared to masters, Wu Yihan felt that they were more like rising stars, and a subtle hostility suddenly arose in his heart.
Jiang Yu nodded expressionlessly, his eyes passing through Wu Yihan and sweeping into the room.
"Yes, hello. Is it convenient for us to go in and talk in detail? We have already been to your teammate's residence." Yu Shu skillfully entered the social mode, and took out his mobile phone to show the chat history with Feng Meng and related paper materials.
Wu Yihan was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, made way for him, and bent slightly to make a gesture of invitation.
Wu Yihan poured hot tea for the two of them and explained the situation of the boy group in detail.
"When the group was first formed, there were a lot of strange things. For example, the locker room couldn't be opened when no one was there, or there was a flushing sound in the toilet in the dormitory in the middle of the night, but everyone was sleeping quietly. Later, things gradually became more serious. During a photo shoot, there was no photographer but all seven of us were in the picture..." Wu Yihan dragged out the last word.
Yu Shu was slightly stunned. The other team members were talking about recent major accidents, but only Wu Yihan started from the beginning.
Although Yu Shu doesn't chase celebrities or read entertainment gossip, he has heard about this incident. The news that the eighth person couldn't be found to help with the filming was a hot topic at the time.
After that incident, the ratings had remained high, and the observation variety show, which had very substantial advertising revenue, would rather lose money than announce an indefinite postponement, which further confirmed the strangeness of the matter.
Jiang Yu didn't feel anything and his face showed no reaction. He just nodded lightly and let Wu Yihan continue.
Wu Yihan continued, "Then, more and more strange things happened. Whether I was attending an event or filming a movie, there would often be a stranger in the group photo who no one knew."
"Later, Xiang Ning and Gong Qiyan became increasingly ill, sometimes even experiencing hallucinations and nearly falling from a building. Yet, they went to the hospital for full-body checkups, and everything was normal. They couldn't handle it anymore and left the group, and their condition didn't improve. Last month, Xiang Ning was in a car accident."
The incident in which a member of a boy band almost fell from a building during the filming of a web drama remained on the hot search for several days, suppressing the academic fraud. At that time, Yu Shu thought that they had found a popular top boy band to reduce the heat in order to cover up their shame.
What Wu Yihan said next continued with what the other teammates had said, except for a different perspective, the content was basically the same.
However, Yu Shu also heard something fishy. Wu Yihan kept talking about his teammates and never mentioned himself.
Yu Shu dug a hole: "Thank you so much for telling us all this. Your teammates have all started talking about it recently. You're so thoughtful. I heard them say you don't talk much in normal times. You're obviously just as kind and gentle as you are on stage."
Wu Yihan smiled, hinting: "Maybe I've experienced the hardships of being a trainee."
The company announced that all the members of the boy group had been trainees in foreign countries for a considerable period of time, but without an assistant and agent, Wu Yihan was exposed.
Jiang Yu remained silent, not because he didn't want to, but because Yu Shu had repeatedly warned him on the plane: "Be careful when talking to those people. People in the entertainment industry are all cunning. When the time comes, you should speak less to avoid offending the big boss behind the scenes."
The three of them had almost finished chatting, so Wu Yihan politely took them for a walk around the house.
Nothing was found. Compared with the previous four people, Wu Yihan not only had no signs of raising ghosts at home, but also had no negative energy on him.
Moreover, Yu Shu had a more intuitive feeling. When interacting with other team members, he would feel more or less cold, but Wu Yihan did not feel that at all.
Wu Yihan has many paintings hanging in his home. At first glance, it seems that they are just collections, but a closer look reveals that they are quite discordant.
Among the all-Western-style paintings, there are two vertical landscape paintings and one horizontal painting. The three paintings just fit together like a couplet.
Jiang Yuding stood in front of the painting and looked at it carefully.
"Is Mr. Jiang also interested in landscape painting?"
Jiang Yu said with a half-smile: "A little." He had no interest in landscape paintings. He stood there looking at them for so long because there were many women's faces hidden in the paintings, on tree trunks, leaf veins and distant mountains.
The presence of so many women's faces was clearly intentional by the painter and did not seem like a coincidence, but Jiang Yu could not sense any sinister aura at all.
Yu Shu also saw something, but what he saw was not the woman's face, but the wriggling and flowing ink. His colleague heard bursts of sharp howls in his mind.
His heart trembled, and he was dazed for a moment when he turned to look at Jiang Yu.
However, Jiang Yu looked calm and composed, and had no intention of asking about the hanging of the painting.
Yes, if there really was something hidden in this painting, Jiang Yu would have definitely said it directly given his personality. Besides, this house has long been considered a haunted house, so it wouldn't be so clean.
Wu Yihan smiled and replied, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, I have other landscape paintings hanging in my study. Would you like to pick a few?"
"You're welcome. My house is small." Jiang Yu frowned and refused bluntly.
After he said that, he pinched Yu Shu's shoulder for some unknown reason.
Yu Shu cursed several times in his heart. Your house is small. Any floor of your house is bigger than Wu Yihan's house.
After finishing the tour, they exchanged a few words with Wu Yihan and prepared to leave.
Yu Shu suddenly remembered that Zhao Jingyun liked Wu Yihan very much, so he smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I like you very much. I have bought every album. Can I take a picture with you?"
Jiang Yu glanced at Yu Shu coldly, his pupils filled with questions like "You didn't even remember who was whose on the plane, but now you like him so much."
Wu Yihan followed behind and sent them to the entrance of the community.
"You suddenly fell in love with someone after seeing them in person?"
Yu Shu waved his hands and quickly denied: "No. The day you came to my house for dinner, Zhao Jingyun talked to you about their group. Didn't she say she liked Wu Yihan very much? So I asked for a private photo for her."
As he said that, he handed the phone to Jiang Yu.
The chat history is clearly visible.
"My work this time is related to the boy band you mentioned last time. I remember you said you liked Wu Yihan very much, so I took a photo for you."
"Wow! You actually still remember him? Thank you so much! It seems like his group hasn't been accepting any announcements lately, and his Weibo is also down. I haven't seen him in a while!"
"You're welcome."
"When you come back, I'll treat you to a meal, just the two of us."
Just the two of us. The more Jiang Yu read these four simple words, the more irritating they became.
Jiang Yu frowned, opened his phone, and said coldly, "You are really considerate."
"When getting along with a girl, you must respect and understand her preferences."
Yu Shu's gentle smile caught his eye, and his delicate and well-behaved facial features were handsome and particularly beautiful.
He wanted to ask Yu Shu why he was so kind to his neighbors, but before he could even speak, he had the answer. Yu Shu was a man. He had been too busy as a doctor before and didn't have time, but things were different now.
However, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell why. He took a deep breath and said nonchalantly, "Then hurry up and finish it so you can go back and eat."
Yu Shu pinched his shoulders and stretched: "Yeah, it's better to finish it quickly."
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes. There were steps that Yu Shu really went down, and he didn't even look at whether they collapsed or not.
He swallowed back the question in his chest before it burst out from between his teeth in an aggressive manner.
The two of them were busy all day and it was already night when they returned to the hotel.
Passing by the hall, the guest's golden retriever barked at Yu Shu non-stop, its obsidian eyes filled with vigilance and fear.
Yu Shu walked back several meters and almost reached the elevator door. The golden retriever was still barking, and the more he listened, the more it sounded like a warning.
The woman couldn't pull the golden retriever and kept saying sorry.
Yu Shu didn't care. He went back to his room and lay down on the big bed to relax.
As soon as I got off the plane in the morning, I rushed to the boy group's agency without stopping. I ate a lot of good-looking but not very filling food and then ran to see the boy group members one by one.
Yu Shu felt exhausted after the day and didn't want to move once he laid down on the bed. Jiang Yu, on the other hand, seemed to have only done some minor warm-up exercises and was in high spirits.
"Wash yourself clean before going to sleep." Jiang Yu patted Yu Shu's long legs that were blocking his way.
"You take a shower first. I'll lie down for a while. I'm so tired."
Yu Shu turned over, took out his cell phone and started typing.
Jiang Yu was too lazy to say anything more and went straight into the shower room.
When he came out of the shower, Jiang Yu had already fallen asleep, and his phone screen was still on. He had no intention of peeking, but was just helping to press the black screen to scan and didn't notice it.
Yu Shu told Zhao Jingyun that he had done a lot of exercise today and was a little tired, and he also sent a Doraemon emoticon package.
But when Yu Shu chatted with him, he didn't use any emoticons or even any tone of voice in his texts.
Jiang Yu turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, covered Yu Shu with a blanket, and then lay back down on his own bed.
“Tick…tick…tick…”
In the middle of the night, Yu Shu heard the sound of running water and thought that Jiang Yu had washed his hands in the toilet but did not turn off the faucet.
As soon as he got out of bed, he shivered with cold. He looked up at the air conditioner temperature. 24℃ was not right. The skin temperature should be between 16 and 18℃.
And the sound of dripping water became more and more obvious, as if it was right next to his window.
Yu Shu felt around in the dark and found that the bed was dry everywhere, with no water stains.
The toilet faucet was closed tightly, so it was strange where the sound of water came from.
Forget it, I’m too sleepy and tired. I’d better go to sleep first and talk to Jiang Yu tomorrow.
He turned around and saw a little baby lying on the bed screen, his body swollen and dripping with water.
