Chapter 71 Jinjiang First Launch

After Bai Mian finished speaking, everyone followed her train of thought. Hu Leying immediately looked at the agent and said, "Sister, if He Xianxian really passed away, you should be the biggest beneficiary, right?"

Lame brother also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember He Xianxian announced to the media before that she is not a person who loves fame and fortune. Her parents died early, she has no other brothers and sisters, and her relatives are coveting her property, so she has cut off contact with all her relatives. She has already made a will, and after her death, she will leave all her property to her agent. This matter caused a sensation at the time and was on the hot search for several days!"

Everyone looked at the agent, who was anxious and immediately defended himself: "That's not the case. What you saw was just the press release she sent to the media. She had made a will before, saying that she would give all the money to me, but that was because she wanted to hype herself up. After she became a hot topic, she immediately revoked the will. You are too naive. We are just colleagues. Do you really believe that she would give me the money?"

Lame Brother looked at the agent suspiciously: "This is just your one-sided statement. Who knows whether what you said is true or not? I don't believe my goddess is such a hype-seeker. Anyway, she is not here now, you can discredit her however you want."

"You——" The agent stood up angrily, while Lame Brother continued to chatter:

"I've noticed you're suspicious for a long time. You kept dragging your feet and not calling the police. It's obvious that you just want my goddess to die! She's missing, and you're still talking about business and endorsements. There must be something wrong with you!"

The agent was so angry that he cursed: "Fuck, I didn't call the police for my own reasons. Do I need to explain to an outsider like you?"

Hu Leying pulled Lame aside and whispered to him, "Hey, you really suspect the wrong person. This agent has a very high status in the circle, and she also has her own property in Beijing. She is a rich woman. There is absolutely no need for her to covet He Xianxian's money."

Finally, Lame Brother stopped being stubborn and said, "Then... if it's not her, who else could it be? He Xianxian's rival? Perverted fans? Does she have any enemies?"

The man in sunglasses, who had been listening, slammed his fist on the table and said impatiently, "What real abilities do you guys have? After all, you are just empty analysis. Do we need your analysis? What we need now is a solution!"

Hu Leying was startled. She hid behind Lame Brother. The agent was rubbing his temples anxiously. Bai Mian said calmly, "Please give me your hand so that I can take your pulse. I can tell you who the kidnapper is and where He Xianxian is now."

The agent sat down in front of the examination table again and stretched out his hand impatiently: "Just take the pulse, right? Then hurry up!"

Hu Leying added: "Not only that, let Master Bai take your pulse. She can tell you everything about your past and future. She's very powerful!"

After hearing this, the agent seemed to be shocked and immediately retracted her hand. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Is that so? Well, then it's not convenient for me."

Lame Brother whispered to Hu Leying: "It seems that this woman has a secret. You see, I said she was suspicious!"

Bai Mian turned his gaze to the man in sunglasses: "Sir, would you like me to take your pulse?"

The man in sunglasses avoided Bai Mian's gaze, put his hands in his pockets, pretended to look away, and turned a deaf ear to Bai Mian's words.

Bai Mian shook his head helplessly and asked in a different way: "How about this, can you provide me with an employee who has had some contact with He Xianxian and who doesn't mind revealing his privacy so that I can check his pulse?"

The agent immediately nodded in agreement. She looked at the man in sunglasses. He took out the car key and remotely controlled the door of the extended sedan outside. After the back door was opened, everyone saw a thin woman sitting in the back seat. "Goddess!" Lame brother screamed excitedly, but he realized something was wrong and stopped halfway through, "No, it's my goddess's substitute."

The woman got off the car at a loss, walked into the Tzu-Hsin Hall, and came to the agent: "Sister, are you looking for me?"

"That's right," the agent pointed at Bai Mian, "Sit down and let her take your pulse!"

"But... why do you need to take the pulse?" the woman asked weakly, her brows slightly frowned, her voice gentle, and her every move revealed a sense of pity.

"Why are you so worried? Just do whatever I tell you to do!" The agent scolded the woman rudely, and it was obvious that she did not take the woman seriously.

The woman sat in front of Bai Mian with a wronged look on her face, and stretched out an arm as smooth as jade. Bai Mian took a closer look and found that there were many scars on her arm, some of which were old wounds, and some were newly added recently.

"I take your pulse for fortune-telling. After taking your pulse, I will know your past and future. I do this to find the whereabouts of He Xianxian. Please understand." Bai Mian explained to the woman kindly.

After hearing this, the woman screamed and jumped up from her chair. She retracted her arm and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, you can't take my pulse!"

The agent shouted at her angrily, "Hey, Lan Zheng! What's so shameful about you? Just listen to us and sit there to take the pulse. We will give you double the salary. Anyway, you just want money, right?"

Lan Zheng took a few steps back in resistance: "No, no, I won't go even if you pay me. This is my privacy!"

None of the three were willing to step forward, and the atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment. Bai Mian looked at the three quietly, and it seemed that they all had their own secrets.

Hu Leying was worrying about how to convince them, but Lame Brother was only obsessed with Lan Zheng. After seeing Lan Zheng, Lame Brother seemed to have lost his soul. He stared at Lan Zheng intently, muttering, "Too similar, exactly the same, you look so much like my goddess, you are so beautiful, but you can only be a stand-in, what a pity!"

Lan Zheng was somewhat depressed: "Everyone says so. They all say that I look like her, but no one cares about me. No one cares that I am also an actor. No one cares how hard I work..."

The agent sneered, "Come on, why are you being so pretentious? Do you think it's unfair to let you be a stand-in? It's not like I didn't pay you. There are countless small actors like you, just like the flowers and grass on the roadside. He Xianxian alone has hundreds of stand-ins. It's just that you are the most like her, so I asked you to come. You just show your face on the stage and you will earn money. Isn't that enough? Do you want to be as famous as He Xianxian? Dream on!"

The agent said so much, and Lan Zheng did not dare to retort. It was obvious that she had a very low status in front of the agent.

Lame brother couldn't stand it anymore and retorted: "Why do you say she can't become famous? What if she becomes famous one day? Things change, no one should look down on anyone! Now it's obviously you who are begging her to help smooth things over, how dare you PUA her?"

The agent's temper completely blew up. She complained loudly and wanted to leave with her bag.

"Who do you think you are to blame me? I'm so unlucky today. I came to this damn place and didn't accomplish anything. I wasted my time! Drive, let's go!"

The man in sunglasses took out the car keys, and Lan Zheng obediently followed the agent and prepared to leave. Seeing that they were about to leave, Hu Leying begged again: "You can't leave. If you leave, He Xianxian will be completely hopeless. She will die!"

When Lan Zheng heard this, her eyes widened immediately. She subconsciously said, "Dead? Impossible, she won't die."

The agent looked at Lan Zheng with alarm: "What did you just say? How do you know she won't die?"

Lan Zheng stammered, "That's not what I meant. I meant that she is a lucky person and will not die."

The agent clenched his fists and approached: "No, that's not what you said just now. From your tone, it's clear that you know where she is!"

The agent cornered Lan Zheng, who said pitifully, "How could I know? I'm a weak woman, you don't think I kidnapped He Xianxian, do you?"

The agent gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? You can't do it alone, but you can always find help. Tell me the truth, where is He Xianxian?!"

Looking at Lan Zheng in the corner, everyone felt a chill in their backs. Hu Leying suddenly realized and said, "So it was you who kidnapped He Xianxian. Yes, after He Xianxian disappeared, the biggest beneficiary should be you. As long as He Xianxian dies, your chance will come. You look most like her. Those directors who originally planned to use her to make movies may consider looking for you. Really, why didn't I think of it earlier!"

Lame brother said with regret: "Girl, I understand you. You look so much alike, and you are also a great beauty, but you can only be her stand-in and can never show your face. You must be unwilling to accept this and try hard to show yourself, but hard work is not that hard. People should be down-to-earth and not do things that violate the law!"

Lan Zheng suddenly felt as if a sore spot had been poked. She took off her mask and shouted angrily at Lame Brother: "How do you know that I am not down to earth? Do you know my past?"

"I have been He Xianxian's stand-in for seven years. Seven whole years. During these seven years, I have done all kinds of dirty and tiring work and suffered all kinds of hardships. But what is the result? What did I get in the end?"

Seeing Lan Zheng's expression, the agent was stunned. It was as if she realized for the first time that the stand-in was also a dignified person. She confirmed with Lan Zheng again: "So, it was really you who kidnapped He Xianxian?"

Lan Zheng bit her lip and said tremblingly: "...Yes."

The agent was incredulous and asked, “How could you do that?”

Lan Zheng shouted at the top of her lungs: "You guys forced me to do this!"
