Because of the sudden murder that caused a lot of delay, Duan Mu had to give up his idea of taking Feng Guang fishing in the suburbs. Because of his status, he couldn't take her to crowded places. Now that the police had left the scene, he took Feng Guang and left the hotel, of course, through the back door.
Yao Feng, who had already left, was still waiting for Duan Mu at the back door of the hotel. When he saw Duan Mu holding Feng Guang's hand, his eyelids twitched. Out of professional instinct, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one else.
Feng Guang found his nervous demeanor quite amusing, and asked curiously, "Didn't you already leave? Why are you still here?"
"Miss Xia, I just received a call from a director. They're planning to invite Duan Mu to star in their new film." Yao Feng said excitedly, "This is a script adapted from a hot IP. If Duan Mu can act in it, I have a feeling it will definitely bring his popularity back to its former peak."
Feng Guang expressed skepticism, "A hot IP? How hot is it?"
"Well... let's get in the car first, this isn't the place to talk." Yao Feng opened the car door and got in.
Feng Guang naturally sat in the back with Duan Mu. Duan Mu held Feng Guang's hand and gently stroked it from time to time. He smiled and asked Yao Feng, who was driving, "What script made you so excited?"
"The Third Dead, the best-selling suspense novel, so popular that it even beat a bunch of romance novels that rely on female leads. How about it, have you heard of it?" Yao Feng smiled happily as he looked at the person in the rearview mirror. To be honest, everyone in the industry knew that The Third Dead was going to be made into a movie. However, everyone thought that the director would invite Yu Wen, who was currently the most popular actor, to star in it. But unexpectedly, the director personally called Yao Feng and asked to schedule a time with Duan Mu.
Duan Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled lazily, and looked on blankly at the scenery he usually disliked, "Is this book that amazing?"
"Of course it's amazing. It was written by the highest-paid author right now, 'No Such Person.' Film and television companies are scrambling to get this IP. I don't know why the director suddenly took a liking to our Duan Mu out of the blue."
With a radiant smile, Feng Guang said, "Isn't our Duan Mu good enough?"
Yao Feng, who was driving, paused and quickly said, "Of course it's good, it's just that things happened so suddenly that it caught me off guard."
Feng Guang snorted, then turned to Duan Mu beside him with a smile, "Duan Mu, do you know what this book is about?"
"This is a story that started with a murder case." Duan Mu saw that her curious look was very cute, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke the tip of her nose. "Sixteen years ago, there was a family of three. However, the couple was suddenly and brutally murdered. Only the child survived, who is the protagonist of this story. In the past ten years, in order to find out the murderer of his parents, he became a detective and traveled around. He also witnessed more murder cases."
"And then what happened? Did he find the murderer?"
“Yes,” he said. “In the end, he found a lot of evidence, but all the evidence pointed to himself as the murderer.”
Feng Guang paused, then asked incredulously, "You mean, he killed his parents?"
