Chapter 24 Love Poison - Please add to your favorites! Mwah!
Haiwei is a stunning beauty. Her debut film was co-starring with Don Juan, and the two were dubbed the "first love couple" by fans.
Unfortunately, they never worked together again after that, and as Don Juan said, they hadn't seen each other for more than a decade.
However, only a very small number of people know this.
Haiwei didn't take Jiang Mingyue's strange behavior seriously. She was just a third-rate former girl group member with a Weibo following that was less than a fraction of Haiwei's. She wasn't worth Haiwei's attention.
Haiwei is more concerned about Don Juan. After this one night of gaming, paparazzi in China will break the news tomorrow, and the topic of the first love couple will make a comeback, with traffic soaring to new heights.
With Don Juan's intervention and Wei Lai and others' banter, the game segment was officially recorded.
The game designed by the Changyou program team is not complicated. Changyou and Maozong each send three guests to compete against each other. Using paddleboards, they start from the left and right ends of the pool, and whoever grabs the water ball in the middle first wins.
The simpler the game, the more it tests the guests' physical strength, intelligence, and endurance.
Changyou sent out three male guests to take on the challenge, while Maozong sent out Wei Lai, Ji Wenxuan, and Meng Qinzhou to accept the challenge.
The remaining guests acted as cheerleaders, encouraging their respective teammates.
Since all the participants were male, the first game ended quickly, with Wei Lai's team winning.
In the second game, Changyou made a substitution, with Haiwei replacing Ye Tao, while Maozong replaced Wei Lai with Tang Huang.
Haiwei publicly begged Don Juan to go easy on her, "Brother Tang, please let me off the hook for the sake of our past collaborations."
I thought Don Juan would be gentle with her, but I didn't expect the movie star to be so serious and dedicated in the game. He didn't slack off at all and naturally won the second round easily.
Haiwei pretended to be angry, then laughed brightly, claiming that she was completely convinced of her defeat.
The game is a best-of-five series. In the third round, Tan Li replaced Hai Wei on Changyou's side, and the assistant director of Maozong asked Jiang Mingyue if she wanted to participate.
Before Jiang Mingyue could respond, Wei Lai volunteered to take her place, saying, "Director, Mingyue isn't feeling well, I'll take her place."
The assistant director knew perfectly well that if Jiang Mingyue participated, the victory would be unfair.
Changyou couldn't argue with that either, since there was no rule that required guests to participate.
Tan Li was happy that Jiang Mingyue wasn't participating in the competition; it would be too embarrassing for her to lose to Jiang Mingyue.
In the end, Wei Lai and her team let Changyou win, and the two teams took a group photo before the recording ended.
Jiang Mingyue distributed dry towels to Wei Lai and the other two, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
While speaking, he patted Don Juan on the shoulder when no one was looking.
Don Juan didn't take it seriously and even reminded her to watch her step because the ground was slippery.
Haiwei, on the other side, caught a glimpse of the interaction between the two, and the smile in her eyes vanished instantly before returning to normal.
Next, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
The guest rooms for the "Making a Show" and "Enjoying the Tour" guests are not on the same floor; the former is on the third floor, and the latter is on the fifth floor.
Jiang Mingyue's room was opposite Don Juan's. Before returning to her room, she casually placed the paper dragonfly she had folded on the decorative relief of the Roman column next to her.
The dragonfly's eyes were pointed precisely at Don Juan's doorway.
Around 11 p.m., someone crept up to Don Juan's door. The person was wearing a black bathrobe, and from behind, they appeared to be a slender woman.
The woman did not knock; almost the instant she stood still, someone opened the door and let her in.
Ten minutes later, the woman in the black bathrobe left leisurely.
The next moment, Jiang Mingyue walked out of the room, opened Don Juan's room almost effortlessly, and went inside.
Tonight, it's the executive director and assistant director's turn to work the night shift together, because they are the only two people who have witnessed Jiang Mingyue's abilities.
Jiang Mingyue's unusual behavior tonight, acting out of the ordinary, must mean she's encountered something.
There must be something fishy about this unexpected turn of events; they cannot disregard the safety of their guests.
The surveillance cameras were originally installed in the third-floor corridor to ensure the safety of the guests, but unexpectedly, they witnessed this scene.
The master and apprentice remained silent.
After a long pause, the executive director spoke first, "Boss, Teacher Tang is taking on two at once."
Smoking was prohibited in the room. The assistant director chewed gum to stay awake. "Xiao Ma, you're married, you've been through this before. Can you solve this in ten minutes?"
Don Juan and Haivi met for ten minutes. What can you do in ten minutes?!
The executive director was also very straightforward and failed to grasp the assistant director's deeper meaning immediately.
Before he could finish speaking, the executive director was struck on the forehead and hurriedly covered his head, crying out in pain.
The assistant director said with exasperation, "Clear the garbage out of your head. Don Juan has only officially acknowledged one ex-girlfriend. He and Haiwei were just colleagues at the same company."
The executive director was confused. "If they're colleagues, why would Haiwei sneak around to see Tang Juan in the middle of the night? They could have met during the day."
"That's not our main concern. What we should be worried about is why Teacher Jiang also went to Don Juan's room?!"
The assistant director noticed something: Jiang Mingyue didn't knock, but opened the door directly.
After Haiwei left, Don Juan couldn't possibly leave the door unlocked.
Oh my goodness, his little aunt is getting more and more capable.
The assistant director was exhausted, worried that his career would be ruined by Jiang Mingyue, but also thinking that he was overthinking things.
Teacher Jiang is not that kind of person.
At this very moment, in Don Juan's room.
Don Juan slumped onto the sofa in a daze, his eyes dark and bloodshot at the corners, looking strangely odd.
He was wearing the white bathrobe provided by the hotel, which was now disheveled, revealing his eight-pack abs.
When Don Juan heard the noise at the door and saw Jiang Mingyue suddenly appear in his room, his chaotic mind barely regained a sliver of clarity.
"Mingyue, what are you doing in my room?"
Jiang Mingyue had no interest in admiring male beauty. She rushed over, grabbed Tang Juan's right hand, and then inserted a silver needle into the tip of his right middle finger.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart. Don Juan's right middle finger was suddenly pierced by a silver needle, causing him to scream in pain.
Jiang Mingyue reacted quickly by pressing his acupoint, successfully preventing the situation from escalating.
The next second, black blood flowed down Don Juan's middle finger and dripped into the talisman paper that Jiang Mingyue had prepared beforehand.
Jiang Mingyue made hand seals and chanted scriptures, causing the talisman to spontaneously combust. Before she could even activate the smoke alarm, it turned to ashes in an instant.
After a short while, Don Juan's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the flush on his neck subsided.
Jiang Mingyue untied his tongue, sat down on the sofa next to him, and stared at him leisurely.
"Brother Tang, who am I?"
Don Juan frowned, staring blankly at Jiang Mingyue, then glanced at the ashes on the coffee table.
It took him a while to find his voice, "Mingyue, what's wrong with me?"
