Chapter 647 Confusion (54)
In the seemingly peaceful conversation, there are actually undercurrents.
Many people were secretly observing Nan Xiangzhu. Most of them were people who made a living in the entertainment industry, and naturally they had heard about all kinds of celebrities.
I originally thought...
These guests are from outside the circle after all, so there shouldn’t be so many messy things.
Who knew it would be such a big surprise.
That's what I said.
If Nan Xiangzhu and Qiao Xi are an engaged couple, then what is the relationship between Joshua and Qiao Xi?
Lover?
Or a lover in a relationship?
It would be too exciting to appear on a show and play task games together in front of my fiancé. I dare not write the script in such an open way.
So this fiancé...
He didn't know what to feel when he saw his fiancée and the rumored boyfriend in the same group and doing tasks together.
Everyone secretly glanced at Nan Xiangzhu over there.
The boy looked normal, and didn't even pay attention to Gan Youmeng who was still chattering over there. He simply ignored the other person as if he were air.
Being left hanging like this.
Gan Youmeng felt a little unwilling. Nan Xiangzhu used to treat her like a baby, but now he ignored her like air.
Leave her here alone to talk.
It was like a one-man show, which made her very embarrassed.
Gan Youmeng felt a little embarrassed. The man who used to be available to her at will was now ignoring her and had no intention of paying any attention to her. She felt a little awkward.
Nan Xiangzhu's expression was clearly not very good just now.
Why could she pretend nothing had happened after she said a few words?
She didn't believe that Nan Xiangzhu really didn't care at all.
The silence that seemed to freeze the air gradually spread. Gan Youmeng didn't want to make things awkward, so she had to bite the bullet and continue with her words.
"If there are problems in the relationship before marriage, I don't know how to get married later."
She said so.
And this seemed to have finally reached Nan Xiangzhu's limit of patience.
The boy finished his breakfast and put down his bowl and chopsticks. His movements were a bit heavy, and when the chopsticks came down with a "snap", Gan Youmeng was startled and trembled slightly.
"Miss Gan, have you had enough of making trouble?"
Nan Xiangzhu looked at her with an unfriendly expression. His unprecedented cold and harsh attitude frightened Gan Youmeng, who had never seen him like this before.
She stared at Nan Xiangzhu blankly.
Not knowing what to say for a moment, Gan Youmeng became a little nervous and clenched her hands involuntarily.
"I……"
She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Nan Xiangzhu, with a gloomy face, spoke at this time and interrupted her.
"I was originally going to show some leniency because we're all just recording a show, but Miss Gan, you're not going to be polite and slander other people's relationships. In Miss Gan's eyes, does knowing someone of the opposite sex always mean they're an unmarried couple?"
Nan Xiangzhu had never been so aggressive.
At least.
This had never happened to her before. Gan Youmeng was scolded like this, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She had never been spoken harshly by anyone, especially by someone who liked her before.
It felt like betrayal.
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at the unfamiliar Nan Xiangzhu, biting her lips and saying nothing.
How long has it been since Nan Xiangzhu was taken away by the heroine?
Why……
Has Brother Xiangzhu changed so completely?
Gan Youmeng looked at him in disbelief, but Nan Xiangzhu remained unmoved when he saw the girl's red eyes and pitiful expression that seemed about to cry.
He is just too soft-hearted.
Once he saw Gan Youmeng about to cry, he felt panicked. Even after being betrayed, like before, when Gan Youmeng cried, he still felt a little soft-hearted and couldn't help but go to comfort Gan Youmeng.
But what is the result?
After recording the show and returning to the bus, I saw Gan Youmeng flirting with Yu Zhi.
But in the blink of an eye.
The girl returned to her domineering and arrogant self, spoiled to the point of lawlessness. Nan Xiangzhu just laughed at himself in his heart. He really forgot the pain after the wound healed. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards Gan Youmeng.
She is unrepentant.
Before, even though she had him as her boyfriend, she would still go out with other people without saying or mentioning anything to him.
He drank to the point of alcohol poisoning.
When he was rushed to the hospital by his family, his girlfriend Gan Youmeng was still dating other men as if nothing had happened.
But it's really ironic.
Nan Xiangzhu had completely given up on her. His extra tenderness and softness should not have been wasted on Gan Youmeng in the first place. The spoiled Gan Youmeng had long forgotten her original intention.
She is no longer the little girl she used to be.
People change.
But he didn't expect that Gan Youmeng's change would be so great and so heartbreaking.
The staff of the program team looked at each other in confusion.
Noticing the icy atmosphere between the two, which seemed to be freezing, a staff member, seeing that everyone had finished breakfast, quickly stood up with a smile and tried to smooth things over.
"Okay, let's head to the filming location. We're going to be busy today."
"Yes, we need to prepare the venue in advance."
Someone else stood up and echoed.
"Today's filming is in the evening. Why don't you guests take a break for a while? Come back in the afternoon and you can walk around town and relax."
Another staff member also suggested this.
The main reason for filming it at night is that their program crew labeled it as a supernatural program, and this kind of thing usually happens at night.
They can set up the venue and prepare props in advance.
Plus.
Qiao Xi had just returned from the mountain in the early hours of last night, so she definitely needed some time to rest. It was also enough to reserve some time during the day for the guests to rest. After all, it was the guests who would be filming, and they had to be in top shape in front of the camera.
Besides...
Now that Nan Xiangzhu and Gan Youmeng had such a fuss, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and the second shoot needed to be regrouped.
Just the atmosphere between these two people.
They were also reluctant to group Nan Xiangzhu and Gan Youmeng together, and the original grouping plan was disrupted. They could only privately seek opinions from the guests and coordinate with each other.
With the help of the program staff.
The atmosphere between Nan Xiangzhu and Gan Youmeng was finally not so awkward.
However, it is still too early to talk about reconciliation. In order to avoid any bad scenes when these two people team up in the show, the program team quickly replaced them.
In the previous episode.
Because they were led by experienced actors who had appeared in variety shows, the performances of the other amateur guests were quite good.
So this time.
There should be a group of amateur guests to see the effect of the show.
After the redistribution, Nan Xiangzhu and Qiao Xi were in one group, Zhuang Wanqing and the male actor were in one group, and Gan Youmeng and Yu Zhi were in one group.
The group notifications were also sent to the guests via text messages.
The gathering time is set at six o'clock in the evening.
Because it was winter, it got dark early. Qiao Xi lay in bed for most of the day before Yu Zhi woke her up in a daze. The two of them went to the meeting place together.
Gan Youmeng felt a little sad when she saw the two people appearing together.
But even so, she still forced a smile and took the initiative to walk to Yu Zhi's side, and stayed with the boys according to the grouping of the program team.
"Brother Yuzhi, I'd like to ask for your guidance."
Gan Youmeng said this in her sweet voice and soft tone. She specially wore the ribbon bow that Yu Zhi gave her today.
Because when Yu Zhi gave it to her, he tied a bow on her wrist and said that she looked like a little rabbit that was easily frightened, very cute, and people couldn't help but want to take her home.
But at that time, Gan Youmeng was thinking about other people.
She just blushed and felt shy in response to what Yu Zhi said, without any other unnecessary expressions.
Now I can be in a group with boys.
This is also a good opportunity for them to enhance their relationship.
"Okay, Youmeng, you don't have to be so reserved." Yu Zhi smiled with his eyes curved. He looked relaxed and happy, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
There was a harmonious atmosphere between the two.
The photographer took pictures of them, and it was as if he saw pink bubbles popping up all over the screen.
The atmosphere over there is very good.
Nan Xiangzhu here was a little concerned about Qiao Xi's condition. He could see that Qiao Xi seemed to be in a low mood, and seemed to have no interest in anything. She always looked uninterested.
Maybe it's because I didn't get enough rest.
Nan Xiangzhu also looked away and ignored it.
The location for their group's filming was an abandoned factory, and the other two groups also had different locations. The factory was also located in a remote area, and they were asked to find a specific item in the factory based on clues.
"There's blood."
Nan Xiangzhu, who is usually not a talkative person, took the initiative to speak as soon as he entered the factory.
Qiao Xi obviously looked very tired and out of shape.
Naturally, he had to take the initiative to find some topics.
There were some dark crimson marks on the ground. On a night like this, it was hard to notice the blood that almost blended in with the rusty factory without careful observation.
Qiao Xi followed his gaze and nodded slightly: "...Yes."
There was a faint stench of decay in the air.
The abandoned factory, located in a remote mountain area, is filled with the smell of rusty iron and can be said to be a forgotten place.
The factory is overgrown with weeds and has been abandoned for a long time.
The machines that once operated here had been moved away, leaving nothing behind. However, the floor structure remained intact. Nan Xiangzhu carefully observed the dark bloodstains on the ground and walked in the corresponding direction.
Several people continued to go deeper.
As they walked, Qiao Xi, who had been following him, also frowned slightly. However, the photographer, who was concentrating on the road ahead and taking pictures of Nan Xiangzhu, failed to capture this subtle change in her expression.
The stench of decay grew stronger.
The dark bloodstains on the ground increased, but Nan Xiangzhu continued walking forward without raising his head.
Qiao Xi looked ahead, his eyes settling on a cement wall not far behind him. The wall was about two meters high, covered with moss and weeds, looking very messy.
However, there were a few faint scratches on the wall.
It should be that the program crew came here to set up the venue and ran into him when they were putting props there.
I should have thought like this—
But as the stench of decay gradually grew stronger and more unbridled, the uneasiness hovering in my heart also gradually expanded as if it were being spread.
However.
It is too early to draw conclusions before we really understand whether this is the prop arrangement of the program team or the odor emitted by some chemical substances remaining in the factory.
But what Qiao Xi can be sure of is that there is no one else here besides them.
No other life signs were detected.
She followed Nan Xiangzhu up the shaky and rusty stairs. As if unable to bear the weight, the stairs made an unpleasant creaking sound and seemed like they would collapse at any time.
"Be careful."
Nan Xiangzhu naturally reached out and held the hand of Qiao Xi, who was one step behind.
It seemed that even he himself did not realize how natural his action was.
The girl seemed to care a little.
Qiao Xi looked a little unnatural, but when she saw the boy's concerned and focused expression, she hesitated for a moment and still did not intend to reject Nan Xiangzhu's kindness and shake off his hand.
The photographer immediately focused the camera on their holding hands.
Nan Xiangzhu explored deeper and his brows gradually furrowed.
He seemed to have noticed something. That kind of thing shouldn't be here. Even if it was purchased, it would require approval from the unit, and there were strict regulations on the quantity.
He remembered that smell.
But whether it is true or not still needs to be judged.
Nan Xiangzhu held Qiao Xi's hand and stood in front of the room where the bloodstains had broken off. When they got here, the smell was so strong that it was nauseating, and even the photographer noticed something was wrong.
"Buzz—"
Nan Xiangzhu pushed open the door.
The heavy rusty door panel made a strange sound, like an old tape recorder, intermittently, and slowly opened.
However.
The scene unfolding before my eyes was terrifying. A surge of malevolence, accompanied by a chill that ran up my spine, chilled my limbs in an instant, as if the world were stained with blood.
Blood and snow meet, play together, and sing.
The shattered window blew in a biting cold wind, sweeping up the fine, cotton-like white snow. It fell on the floor, and the shattered glass reflected the beautiful white snow.
On the ground around.
It was a shallow pool of dark, dark traces, and the fishy smell became stronger and stronger.
In an empty and dilapidated room.
The windows are broken.
In the center of the room, amidst the howling cold wind, the intricate tangles of thin ropes wrapped around the ceiling seemed to be twisting the human body, binding it separately and hanging a sleeping "doll" with its head drooping.
Extremely cruel and disgusting art.
His limbs were twisted and hung up by ropes, like prey bound and entangled in a spider web, with nowhere to escape and could only watch his fate of being eaten.
The limbs are neatly cut off.
It was tied with a rope and placed on his cut surface.
Like a poorly patchwork rag doll, it was covered in patches and had irreparable scars.
“Ah, ah…!!!”
There was a loud thud as something heavy fell to the ground. The photographer carrying the camera suddenly felt weak in the knees and fell to the ground, bringing down the expensive equipment he was carrying.
He was trembling, his legs shaking uncontrollably, and he looked at the scene in front of him with great fear.
I clearly wanted to look away.
But it was like it was branded in my eyes, and I couldn't look away.
“!”
Nan Xiangzhu was the first to react. He quickly grabbed Qiao Xi's hand, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, pressed Qiao Xi's head into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
He was obviously shocked too.
Qiao Xi could feel Nan Xiangzhu's hand pressing on her head trembling slightly, and she could also sense that the man was nervous at this moment, as if holding his breath.
“…”
The person who seemed the calmest on the scene was probably Qiao Xi.
She didn't feel panic or fear, just numb, without any other thoughts. She calmly accepted the fact that she had discovered the crime scene.
"Nan Xiangzhu, stop destroying the scene. I'm going to call the police."
Qiao Xi said this.
She pulled Nan Xiangzhu's arm around her a little, then took out her cell phone and called the police.
I heard the girl's voice as calm as water.
Nan Xiangzhu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He frowned and nodded slightly, watching Qiao Xi call the police.
only.
He was still in mixed emotions and couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
This is definitely not a prop arranged by the program team.
No matter how you look at it, he was once a living person. So, who... did it?
