Chapter 20 Zwilling Kitchen Knife, You Deserve to Own It



After Xu Qi finished speaking, Ji Qian turned straight to the left, bumping into pillars several times, but miraculously dodged them just before they hit her.

Xu Qi followed closely behind Ji Qian, gripping her clothes tightly with both hands. The two looked like the chicks and mother hen in the classic game of Eagle Catches Chickens.

Han Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Ji Qian, with Zhao Chengyuan and Ying Xu close behind.

Seeing that everyone had left, Director Liu turned to the others and said, "The assistant director and I will follow them. You guys stay in the courtyard and look for any other clues." Then he turned and walked towards Ji Qian and the others.

There was a side door on the left wall of the backyard. Ji Qian followed Xu Qi's directions to the door.

This was an unlocked wooden door. Ji Qian reached out and gently pushed it, and the door creaked. It felt like it would break if she pushed any harder. Ji Qian judged that this must have been part of the old house originally.

Inside the wooden door is a small courtyard, no more than twenty square meters. There is also a room in the courtyard, which looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Ji Qian couldn't see what the courtyard looked like, but based on the frequency of Xu Qi's shaking behind her, she deduced that the courtyard didn't look very friendly.

Han Mengyao, who was following behind, also ran into the courtyard. As soon as she entered, she felt the chill on her body become significantly stronger.

Han Mengyao herself couldn't see it, but Zhao Chengyuan, who was beside her, saw with his own eyes that white frost had formed on her hair and eyelashes, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Ying Xu was among the third group to arrive at the scene.

As a contestant who had repeatedly failed to make it work, Ying Xu almost caused sparks to fly from his wheelchair this time. He barely managed to avoid being caught by the directors. He was initially quite pleased with himself, but who knew that he would see such a shocking scene as soon as he entered the room.

"Sister Meng, your hair is frosted!" Hearing Ying Xu's words, Han Mengyao belatedly touched her head and realized that her hair had frozen into icicles at some point, and even made a crisp clinking sound when she ran her fingers over it.

Ji Qian also heard Ying Xu's words. She turned around and said in the direction of the voice, "Sister Meng, you can go out first. I'm fine."

Han Mengyao knew this wasn't the time to be stubborn. She stepped forward to help Ji Qian tighten the blindfold, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

When Han Mengyao was discharged from the hospital, she ran into Director Liu and his assistant director, who were late.

As someone who knew the inside story, Director Liu nervously swallowed, looking at the conspicuous frost on Han Mengyao's head: "How... is it inside?"

"It's almost over inside. If you go in now, you might still be able to film the ending."

Han Mengyao did not answer truthfully, after all, the production team had chosen this strange filming location, and she was not prepared to let the directors and crew members hide away and relax.

Sure enough, upon hearing Han Mengyao's words and thinking of the valuable material, Director Liu puffed out his belly, striking a heroic pose as if he were about to die, and pulled the assistant director into the hospital.

[Oh my god, Han Mengyao's hair is frozen again!]

[This time there's sound! It's definitely not special effects!]

[Doesn't that mean it's really haunted? It's probably more like special effects!]

[Great! Yao Yao has gone out!!]

[This is so unfair! Xuxu should be included too; he's a patient!]

[Hey, your brother didn't look like a patient at all when he was swinging his wheelchair around before.]

[Who says it doesn't look like it?! It's just that the problem isn't with the leg!]

[Grab the bamboo shoots!]

[It's confirmed, they definitely didn't know they were being recorded.]

[Director Liu is quite naive, isn't he? Is this what they mean by a man remaining a boy until death?]

Whether he is a teenager is uncertain, but he will certainly die soon.

The assistant director had just entered the courtyard when, with a loud "bang!", the wooden door behind him slammed shut.

The assistant director tried to pull it open a few times but failed, so he gave up and went to Ji Qian's side, pulling out two kitchen knives from his backpack and handing them to her.

"This is from Old Li. He said this cleaver is a family heirloom, and now he feels that it can only be truly useful in your hands!"

Ji Qian carefully accepted the twin swords, and just as she was about to be moved, she touched the Zwilling logo embossed on the hilt: "Old Li is actually of German descent."

The assistant director didn't understand Ji Qian's words and was about to ask again when he saw Ji Qian twist her waist and shake off Xu Qi who was hanging behind her. Then she grabbed a knife with both hands and rushed into the house.

Holy crap, Ji Qian is so handsome!

[So handsome I resemble Empress Wu Zetian widowed – losing Li Zhi]

[Note that this woman's name is Xiaomei; anyone who sees her will fall irrevocably in love with her.]

[Xu Qi: Is no one speaking up for me?!]

As Ji Qian flung open the door, the dust obscured the view of those outside. The assistant director, holding a camera, searched for a long time but couldn't find Ji Qian through the dust.

The sounds of smashing and breaking echoed from inside the room, each blow feeling like a blow to Director Liu's heart.

Although this old house is abandoned, the discarded tables, chairs, and benches inside can all be considered antiques, and if you really want to know more, they could be worth quite a bit of money.

When they were making the modifications, they carefully moved the original old items to another location for storage. Now that Ji Qian has smashed everything indiscriminately, I wonder how much money the production team will have to pay in compensation.

Director Liu got a headache from thinking about it and had no interest in seeing how badly Ji Qian was beaten.

After being thrown off by Ji Qian, Xu Qi rushed straight into the arms of Zhao Chengyuan, who was closest to him. Zhao Chengyuan was being tightly choked by Xu Qi and was about to lose his breath.

Because Ying Xu was furthest from the door, he escaped the dust storm and became the only person in the courtyard who could clearly see Ji Qian's movements: "She's coming out!"

Before Ying Xu could finish speaking, a white figure flew out of the house. Ji Qian was standing inside the door, still in the position of kicking someone.

"Teacher Mi?!" Director Liu, who was busy doing accounts, saw a white figure fly straight to his feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Mi Yesi, who had been missing all night.

At this moment, Mi Yesi was wearing an ancient mourning garment of unknown origin, her eyes were closed, and she showed no trace of the ruthless demeanor she had displayed when fighting Ji Qian earlier.

[Ji Qian, victim +1]

[Don't talk nonsense, everyone saw it just now, it was clearly a fight!]

Young people are so healthy, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

[Mimi is in this state and you're still making jokes?!]

Don't make a fuss, maybe it's a special program.

You know what, their fight just now was actually quite entertaining.

Who airs a special program in the middle of the night? Unless the director is allergic to data usage.

Ji Qian stood at the doorway and took a breath before saying to the others in the yard, "Let's carry her back first, and we'll talk about everything when it's light."

After hearing Ji Qian's words, Xu Qi, who had been hiding all the way, suddenly relaxed, and Zhao Chengyuan thus escaped a disaster.

Xu Qi moved closer to Ji Qian, who was still blindfolded, raised his left hand and gently called her name. Ji Qian then placed her right hand on Xu Qi's arm.

The two of them walked out the door in the posture of an empress dowager and a eunuch, leaving behind a courtyard full of bewildered men.
