Chapter 47 Chapter 47 If He Dies, You Won't Live Long
Bai Qingqing was very happy doing the job worth 20 million.
Sitting in the car, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips, he tilted his head to look out the window, enjoying the scenery along the way, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Ao Teng sat next to her, his face tense, as if he was about to cry.
He held the little wooden man in front of him, pinching the base with both hands as if burning incense, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, not daring to move or look around, let alone look at the little wooden man's face.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the parts of his hands that touched the wooden man were getting hotter and hotter, as if there was a warm current beating like a pulse, moving back and forth between his skin and the surface of the wooden man.
Not to mention the puppets in the yard that were chasing him that day.
Even this one in his hand today feels alive!!
Ao Teng didn't dare to think too deeply, let alone lower his head to verify. He just comforted himself that he had been holding the little wooden man for too long without moving it, and it was warmed up by his body temperature.
He swallowed hard and looked at his Master Qingqing. He wanted to chat with her for a few minutes to calm his mind.
Suddenly, the head facing away from him moved, as if it had eyes on its back. When he opened his mouth, it said directly, "Tell me about you and Yang Man."
Yang Man, Ao Teng’s partner, and Ao Teng have been good friends for more than ten years.
At each other's weddings, their children's full-month banquets, and birthday parties, they were each other's guests of honor. They visited each other more frequently during the holidays. It can be said that they have a very good relationship.
In addition to running a film and television company and doing investment, Ao Teng is also a very good screenwriter. He works with director Yang Man on filming, and the two have always had a pleasant collaboration.
Yang Man appreciated Ao Teng's works very much and they almost never had any disputes over the content of the scripts. At most, they quarreled over the presentation of the works.
According to Ao Teng, the script he was writing had been in preparation for more than two years. Half a year ago, Yang Man suddenly told him that she didn't want to shoot it anymore and hoped that he would stop writing "Black Hole".
It is now known that it was Su Zixuan's soul that left her body and followed Ao Teng. She witnessed him simulating a crime while writing the script and thought that he had really killed someone, so she attacked him repeatedly in an attempt to stop his "criminal behavior", that is, she hoped that he would stop writing scripts.
So how did Yang Man point out that there were problems with the script?
Just because there were many problems when the project started?
Not quite enough.
Bai Qingqing felt that Yang Man had played a role in this matter to some extent, and it was possible that she had met someone who was involved in the conspiracy behind the scenes.
Ao Teng: "Old Yang, I fully understand you this time."
"After all, I've been so unlucky in the past two years. Not only did the launch of Black Hole, which I wrote, run into problems, but all the other projects I invested in also had all kinds of problems, big and small."
"Our line of work is sensitive by nature. Once you're in trouble, everyone will immediately avoid you. It's only natural that Lao Yang doesn't want to see me and doesn't let me visit him in the hospital.
Last time, when I was looking for Su Zixuan, I even guessed if it was Lao Yang. Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for the friendship between her and me over the years."
Ao Teng frowned as he spoke, his thoughts immersed in this incident, and he gradually forgot about the little wooden man in his hand.
His tone was low, he couldn't figure out who was controlling the situation behind the scenes and why they were going to so much trouble to deal with him?
It is not easy to invite such a great master, and the cost must be high. If it were not for a blood feud, who would plan two years in advance, secretly plotting and going to great lengths just to take his life?
From the discovery of the formation in his courtyard to Taoist Zan chasing the Feng Shui master, until today, Ao Teng still hadn't figured out anything, and his tone became even more bitter:
"Now that Haohao has been in a car accident, he may have to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. To be honest, I'm really afraid that Lao Yang and Haohao are implicated because of me. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Gujian Villa is just around the corner.
Lush and tall trees block out the sun, and ancient architectural eaves and green tiles are interspersed among them.
The car climbed up the hill and stopped in front of a door. Professor Jiang, dressed in a white suit, was standing at the door. A woman in front of him was holding her hands and bowing deeply.
Ao Teng had searched for Professor Jiang after hearing about her. When he recognized her, he whispered an introduction to Bai Qingqing.
"…Professor Jiang is my teacher. He has more cases in this area than I do. You can leave it to them after the surgery. Just follow the hospital's arrangements. Rehabilitation will be a bit more difficult afterwards."
Professor Jiang confiscated the gift that Yang Man brought, and could only express his gratitude with many thanks.
Professor Jiang had a calm expression on his face and looked towards them when he heard the sound of the car.
Ao Teng glanced at her through the window, holding the little wooden figure in both hands with some embarrassment: "Qingqing, do I have to take this person with me?"
The car arrived, but no one got off for a long time.
Professor Jiang smiled faintly and pulled his hands back from Yang Man's hands: "Mother Zhou Hao doesn't have to worry too much. As a doctor, I am also very happy to help Hao Hao. This is more meaningful than attending any academic conference."
"It looks like you have a guest. I'll be leaving now."
Yang Man glanced at the yard in front of the door. Ao Teng was standing next to a low-key black Mercedes-Benz car, holding a light-colored puppet in his hands. When he saw her looking at him, he nodded and greeted her.
"He's my guest..." Yang Man's breathing stagnated, not realizing that her expression had slightly changed: "Professor Jiang, take care."
A girl in a short jacket, windbreaker and jeans walked out from the other side of the car. She also glanced at her and Professor Jiang. She put her hands in her pockets as she walked over, and looked a little cold.
She has a dark complexion, and her eyebrows and eyes are 30% similar to Ao Teng.
Yang Man had never seen her before, but she couldn't help but look at her. She vaguely felt that Ao Teng was... somewhat respectful to her.
Yang Man has been a director for many years and is very good at judging people. She stood straight, waiting for Ao Teng and the girl to walk towards her one after the other, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes to look at the wooden puppet in Ao Teng's hand.
The arcs of the two black marker lines were very strange, and the drooping eyelashes were sloppy, as if someone had scribbled on them, but Ao Teng held them in front of him with both hands, which was very contradictory.
Yang Man's eyes were alert and she stepped back slightly.
Ao Teng felt a little bitter when his good friend of nearly twenty years was now avoiding him. Seeing her eyes on his hand, he explained, "This is... my niece's toy."
He then asked, "How is Haohao? I heard that Professor Jiang performed surgery on him. Did everything go well? If you can help me with anything..."
Yang Man: "The operation is done and it went smoothly. There is nothing I can do for you. What are you doing here today? If nothing else, I will go back to the hospital."
Ao Teng couldn't help but glance at Bai Qingqing and continued, "We have been friends for so many years. Haohao has encountered such a big thing. I have to come and see you."
"No need. Just stop coming to me. That's the biggest help for me. Haohao's surgery is now complete. Lao Zhou and I will take him abroad for rehabilitation."
Yang Man took another step back, almost asking the guest to leave, looking as if she didn't want to say another word, and almost turned around and left.
"Are you planning to immigrate with your whole family?"
Ao Teng didn't go forward, but took a step in the direction she wanted to leave, frowning: "Why, Yang Man? I wanted to ask you half a year ago, if you don't want to associate with me anymore, fine! But after more than ten years of friendship, can you just say no?
You have to give me a reason, right? Have I done anything wrong to you? Even if I die, I have to let people know that I am a ghost!"
When Yang Man heard the last sentence, her eyelids twitched and her lips tightened.
She took a deep breath and said, "You didn't let me down. It was me. It was my personal problem. I let you down."
"...Are you sorry for me?" Ao Teng's breathing stagnated after hearing her reply, and he laughed angrily: "Who can you be sorry for?"
He and Yang Man treat their friends in a reciprocal manner, and are afraid that their friends will suffer losses, so they would never do anything to harm others and benefit themselves.
Yang Man is an upright person and has much more conscience than he does in the business world.
Now that Yang Man said this, Ao Teng felt that she was just trying to evade him and was unwilling to tell the truth.
The two of them were arguing for a while.
Bai Qingqing watched quietly from the side.
Yang Man's face turned pale and her nerves were obviously tense. She reacted to the word "ghost" that Ao Teng mentioned unintentionally. After repeated questioning, she refused to utter a single word.
Bai Qingqing had an idea in her mind and interrupted them, "Yang Man, who did you and Zhou Hao meet two years ago?"
The heated argument came to an abrupt halt.
Yang Man was struck by lightning for a moment, and Ao Teng was also stunned. They turned to look at Bai Qingqing.
Ao Teng's intuition told him not to speak for the time being, but Yang Man even stopped breathing. Her tightly pursed lips trembled, and she quickly adjusted herself to a silent look, examining Ao Teng's niece in front of her.
His expression was calm, with no fluctuations. His stature was not even as tall as Ao Teng's shoulders, but he exuded a calmness beyond his age.
The moment she called her name, she almost answered obediently.
Yang Man calmed down and asked back: "What did you say?"
"Do you think Zhou Hao's car accident is the end? As long as the two of you stay away from Ao Teng, everything will be fine?"
Bai Qingqing smiled at her and said, "You and Ao Teng probably haven't seen each other for half a year. If keeping a distance from him can solve the problem, then why did Zhou Hao get into a car accident now?
You probably didn't think it was just an accident, otherwise you wouldn't have avoided him so much."
Bai Qingqing said this and tilted her head towards Ao Teng as a signal.
Ao Teng reacted to her prompting and stood up straight immediately, realizing that something was wrong.
Many details that he had overlooked were now carefully connected in his mind.
Half a year ago, Yang Man distanced herself from him and then hoped that he would stop writing. If this was a reminder—
Yang Man knows something he doesn't know!
The moment his thoughts connected, Ao Teng widened his eyes and looked at Yang Man again.
So what she just said, that she was the one who let him down, is it really possible?
What did she do?!
Yang Man leaned back slightly at Bai Qingqing's questioning, as if she wanted to run away.
Compared with Ao Teng, he is obviously more wary of Bai Qingqing now.
Bai Qingqing tapped her pockets with her fingers, revealing what she was thinking: "You know that person two years ago was a Feng Shui master."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be on guard against her.
"Since this is Xuanmen's problem, let Xuanmen solve it."
Bai Qingqing took her hands out of her pockets, took two steps forward, patted the head of the wooden doll that Ao Teng was holding respectfully in his hands, and smiled politely at Yang Man:
"Let's go see Haohao."
"Even if we go abroad, we have to let the child leave alive, right?"
*
Bai Qingqing's words shocked the two of them, and they were still dazed until they got into the car.
Yang Man sat in the front seat. Ao Teng continued to hold his little puppet respectfully. He sat beside Bai Qingqing in a daze. His unfocused eyes gradually regained their spirit as they went down the bumpy road.
He looked at the back of Yang Man's head and felt that she was also in a trance. He tilted his head and asked his niece quietly, saying with difficulty: "Will Hao... die?"
Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
My niece stayed up all night recording a variety show the night before, and without even getting enough sleep, she called him along to go out.
Ao Teng's expression became sad. The more he guessed, the more it seemed to be true: "Qingqing, you rushed here in such a hurry. Is something going to happen today?"
Bai Qingqing: "Today's afternoon at three o'clock is an auspicious time to meet Yang Man, and everything will go smoothly."
Ao Teng: ... "So Haohao is actually fine? Did you lie to her?"
Bai Qingqing shook her head, "That's not the case. Her uterus is full, but her vitality is constantly draining away. Her child shouldn't have had such a serious accident. Logically, his life should have been saved on the day of the accident. Now that the leg surgery was successful, his vitality should have been restored, but it hasn't. There is only one possibility."
Ao Teng leaned closer to listen to Master Qingqing's analysis: "What's the possibility?"
Bai Qingqing looked at Ao Teng's big face as he approached.
The dark aura that enveloped the entire person has dissipated, the color of the Life Palace is dark, life and death are intertwined, and vitality is fleeting, exactly the same as what is shown in Yang Man's Children's Palace.
She smiled but didn't answer, so as not to scare her timid uncle.
[If you die, he won't live long. ]
[If he dies, you won't live long either.]
