Chapter 648: Confusion (55)
The filming of the program was terminated.
Everyone rushed over and was asked to stay here for investigation. The first people to discover the scene were Nan Xiangzhu and Qiao Xi's group, and the photographer who followed them.
They were called away.
The police focused on the footage taken by the photographer.
This picture also proves that they went to the abandoned factory to shoot a show.
The filming started at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Everything they had done before that needed to be explained one by one. There were quite a lot of people involved, and it was estimated that no one would be able to leave here for a while.
Gan Youmeng felt a little nervous.
She couldn't understand why a murder had occurred here. This was something that should never have happened in the original plot, but things that exceeded her expectations kept happening one after another.
like……
Since the heroine came, the development of the plot has changed.
Everything was obviously the same before, but when the heroine appeared, many things changed. For example, in the previous life, several heroes were vying for the heroine, and the heroine was distressed and decided to choose one to date for a while.
Everyone gets along well.
This should be the plot.
She was now following the heroine's storyline, and should have been experiencing the same plot. But no, things were becoming increasingly bizarre, and now she had only agreed to participate in this show to see Yu Zhi.
There was also a murder case...
Gan Youmeng's face turned pale. She now understood the effect of this kind of beautiful, strong and tragic female character, which would bring misery wherever she went.
She is unlucky too!
No one would be happy to be involved in such a troublesome matter. Gan Youmeng looked at Qiao Xi with a bit more resentment in her eyes. This is the bad point of the heroine's halo.
Maybe he noticed someone was looking at him.
Qiao Xi turned her head to look in the direction of the gaze, and when she turned her head, she met Gan Youmeng's resentful gaze.
Maybe he felt that he was being too blatant.
The next moment after Gan Youmeng met Qiao Xi's gaze, he immediately looked away and pretended to be indifferent as he started talking to the people around him.
They all remain here to cooperate with the investigation.
We can only stay in this small town for a while, as it will take time for the police to investigate the scene and the body.
It's just about examining personal experience.
Qiao Xi was called over specifically.
There was no other reason, mainly because her resume was too impressive. When she was in high school, she was imprisoned and injured in this small town. After graduating from college and just starting to work, she was kidnapped by an actor and sold to foreign criminal gangs.
There is even a mentally ill patient who is eyeing her.
Later she.
Although she cooperated with the police to arrest the gang and received the small red flag commendation and bonus, the experience undoubtedly caused her enormous physical and mental damage.
Naturally, there were also people on the police side who followed up on Qiao Xi's situation.
After knowing that the victim is doing well now, I don't pay too much attention to it.
Unexpectedly...
It just so happened that this former victim now encountered such a murder scene while filming a program.
The probability of an ordinary person encountering these things in his or her lifetime may be less than one percent.
but……
They have never seen such an unlucky person who fell into the trap three times in a row.
The police spent a long time talking to Qiao Xi because after verifying the victim's identity information, they found that he was a fugitive on the wanted list.
This person fled abroad six years ago.
He had always been quite cunning, constantly evading capture, and no one had yet been able to catch him. Yet now, his dismembered body had been found in this small town near the border.
The first person to discover it was the former victim.
Combined with the intriguing information they found at the scene, they suspected that this might have been a revenge killing, for no other reason than a message left at the scene.
"This is my first gift for you. Do you like it?"
A small card stained with blood and snow, with the original font no longer visible, was picked up by them and a sentence was restored through technical means.
Gift.
Who is it for?
The deceased's movements before his death were outside the country, and the only witness present at the scene who had experience abroad was Qiao Xi. She was also the one who cooperated with the police in cracking down on foreign forces, so...
She was targeted by criminal gangs from abroad.
Those people will take revenge on her from now on.
Since this is the first one, there will be countless more to come. And when Qiao Xi is finally reached, everything will be irreversible.
"So that's why you said you would... protect me?"
The beautiful girl before him looked a little stunned, but she was more apprehensive. Perhaps she had finally understood the stakes, realizing that her life was being targeted and those people were out to retaliate.
therefore.
She looked very anxious and couldn't sit still.
"Please calm down, Miss Qiao Xi."
The police officer who was talking to her noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he temporarily put down his work to comfort her.
"How, how could this happen..."
Qiao Xi sat in her chair, looking lost and lonely, staring at the ground in a trance, as if she had lost her soul. Her face was pale and her condition was definitely not good.
Suddenly I realized that someone was watching my life.
There was even a corpse placed in front of her, which was so heavy and unacceptable no matter how you think about it.
at least……
The photographer who witnessed the murder scene fainted and was rushed to the hospital for treatment and psychological counseling. Not everyone can remain indifferent after witnessing a murder scene.
The police officer thought that the reason why Qiao Xi could endure it might be related to her previous experiences.
After all, they were all trafficked abroad at that time, and the scenes they saw must have been very bloody.
After returning, Qiao Xi received psychological treatment immediately.
but.
Some psychological traumas cannot be healed even if you spend a lifetime. Qiao Xi is still able to maintain a normal mentality and face her life positively, which is very strong. After all, not everyone can pretend that nothing happened after such an experience.
Until now.
They definitely won't ask about such things that expose people's scars.
After Qiao Xi was rescued, they learned enough detailed information. It was obvious that this was a revenge action against them, and such terrorist forces did exist.
As an ordinary person, Qiao Xi naturally needs to be protected by them.
The police officer comforted Qiao Xi again before letting her go out to have a good rest. The hotel where the production crew originally stayed was chosen as their temporary residence until the investigation phase was concluded.
It’s impossible to take the photo.
People are in panic.
No one slept well. Although no one else encountered the murder scene directly, the program crew also felt uneasy when they heard that such a thing happened at the address they chose.
"I remember...back then, when the factory was abandoned, there was nothing there."
recalled the staff assigned to decorate the abandoned factory.
"Yeah, when we went there, there was nothing there."
Another person echoed the same.
When they went there, they had naturally confirmed in advance that the place had been abandoned for a long time. After breakfast in the morning, they went to set up the place, and did not leave until around 2 pm when they finished the work and returned to the hotel to rest.
After that.
Just wait until six o'clock in the evening to start filming the show and let the guests go.
But when we got there.
The props they had set up were still there, but… but there was something else.
How could they not feel the chill of fear when they thought about something appearing just after they left? They felt uneasy and worried that they wouldn't even be able to sleep that night.
Everything was arranged in such a short time.
Doesn’t that prove that the murderer is actually very close to them?
If we continue to stay in this place, who knows what will happen? Although the hotel is now under police protection, there are so many people and eyes, who knows what will sneak in?
and……
I heard that the first discoverer of their program team was given special protection, namely the photographer, Nan Xiangzhu and Qiao Xi.
Should they be thankful for even a second?
Fortunately, it's not someone in the industry? Otherwise, it wouldn't just affect their careers. When some directors shoot movies or TV series with specific themes, they inevitably offend the benefactors in heaven. Before filming, they have to burn incense and send gifts to apologize.
If I knew this.
If an actor encounters such a scene and gets something bloody and unlucky on his body, the director of these specific films will have to reconsider the selection.
At least……
We certainly cannot take the risk of offending those noble people in heaven.
The atmosphere at dinner was depressing and silent.
Everyone was worried about something and couldn't relax at all. This case couldn't be disclosed to the outside world, which meant that even if they knew about it, they were now required to stay in the town temporarily and couldn't tell their families.
One needs to process emotions alone.
I can’t complain to my friends and family, and the pressure is much greater than I usually feel.
Qiao Xi’s registered residence is still in this small town.
Although the Xi family took her back before, they only announced the recognition of her identity and did not transfer Qiao Xi's household registration.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not very good.
The only person who looked relaxed was probably Yu Zhi. He seemed completely unconcerned with these matters that had nothing to do with him. The boy's eyes were like those of a cunning fox, leisurely examining everyone present.
It's like watching a comedy.
He seemed to like this tense atmosphere and was enjoying it.
at last.
Yu Zhi's gaze was fixed on Gan Youmeng over there. The girl's face turned pale and her hand holding the soup spoon was trembling slightly.
It was obvious that he was afraid.
However, the occasional hint of resentment in her eyes was contrary to the fear she showed.
There is such a contrast.
Yu Zhi couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Dinner time is over.
Everyone returned to their rooms, but Gan Youmeng's heart was still unsettled. There weren't many people here who were worthy of her trust, and now that she was in such a high-pressure environment, she just wanted to act like a spoiled child.
therefore.
The first thing Gan Youmeng did when she returned to the room was to send a message to Yu Zhi.
The boy replied to her immediately.
Once again, Gan Youmeng felt that the feeling of being noticed that she had lost was slowly returning to her.
Yes.
No matter how terrible she is, how embarrassed she is now, or whether she is ignored by other male protagonists.
but……
Only with Yu Zhi, she is still special. To Yu Zhi, she is irreplaceable. Only Yu Zhi always treats her the same.
Not like others.
After meeting or interacting with the heroine, he stopped paying attention to her. Although there was still Jiang Jingze who contacted her more frequently, Gan Youmeng didn't want to maintain contact with such a person.
That brother Jingze is simply not as good as others.
Although she didn't want to say that.
But she also looked down on him from the bottom of her heart. At least her family would definitely not accept a male anchor. They were not a good match.
Anyway...
She has become like this, and after experiencing that kind of thing, Gan Youmeng's mentality has also changed a lot.
There was a first time.
There will be a second time, a third time, and countless times. I no longer care who it is. Now that I am an adult, who hasn't experienced love a few times?
Especially in upper-class circles like theirs.
There are a lot of people who enjoy playing.
And after what she experienced, she felt that it was just like that, nothing serious. However, she felt a little uncomfortable when she knew that the other person was not Brother Zhi Liao, as if she had been betrayed.
But the man is not bad looking either.
Later, she exchanged contact information with the other party.
Although this kind of person is disgusting.
But it is also quite comfortable to do this kind of thing. She has just started doing it and at this age, it is inevitable that she will be addicted to it.
People in the entertainment industry may not feel that much.
Gan Youmeng also knew that this was definitely not the first time for Yu Zhi. This kind of thing should be quite common for Yu Zhi, right?
Therefore.
Once an idea starts, it will spread uncontrollably.
That night.
After Gan Youmeng sent messages and chatted with Yu Zhi, she couldn't hold back and came to Yu Zhi's door.
The man had just finished taking a shower.
He was still wearing a bathrobe when he came out to open the door. The slightly loose bathrobe outlined his well-trained and sculpted body. The occasional exposure of his strong chest made Gan Youmeng blush.
She could even imagine it.
What exactly does it feel like to be held in a man's strong arms? Not to mention Yu Zhi's conditions, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is top-notch.
"What's wrong, Youmeng? Why are you coming here so late at night?"
Yu Zhi didn't notice the emotions hidden in Gan Youmeng's eyes. He wiped his wet hair carelessly and asked the woman standing at the door.
Although after finding Qiao Xi, his interest in Gan Youmeng decreased greatly.
But one cannot be so ruthless as to show no mercy to others, especially since Gan Youmeng did nothing wrong.
They are not in a relationship.
Naturally, there was no need for him to distance himself from Gan Youmeng. He could just keep things as they were, meet her occasionally or have a date, and he could just play the role of his confidant.
"Brother Yuzhi, can you let me in first?"
Smelling the scent of shower gel on the man's body, Gan Youmeng's face turned slightly red and became a little unnatural.
Yu Zhi just thought she was a shy little girl.
However, it was late at night, a man and a woman alone. Gan Youmeng had the mindset of a little girl, but he was not. Although Gan Youmeng didn't know what it meant to go to a man's room in the middle of the night, Yu Zhi knew.
Perhaps Gan Youmeng doesn't have that level of thought.
However, Yu Zhi himself did not want to be caught.
The hotel's corridors are monitored.
What would happen if the surveillance footage of Gan Youmeng entering his room were leaked one day?
"It's quite late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Yu Zhi said this and closed the door.
However, Gan Youmeng reacted quickly. She quickly pulled the door and finally raised her head to look the man in front of her in the eyes.
This moment.
Yu Zhi could clearly see the emotions in her eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Gan Youmeng's affection and desire could no longer be concealed, becoming even more intense. It was as if their gazes had triggered some kind of chemical reaction.
It was as if even the air was heating up at this moment.
It started to become ambiguous.
In her slightly cloudy eyes, there were dotted the longing and desire of a woman, no longer as clear and bright as before like a girl.
Yu Zhi was very familiar with this kind of look.
Women who have experienced love affairs always have this look in their eyes after they have developed feelings. He had seen it before on the set and on an actress in a certain crew.
A look of lust for someone.
There are quite a few power transactions in the circle.
The reason why Gan Youmeng attracted him was that at her age she still had the pure and beautiful innocence and simplicity of a girl, which reminded Yu Zhi of Qiao Xi who had not been destroyed at that time.
It's because the two people have similarities.
That's why Gan Youmeng attracted him, not because of power or money, or because of those women who simply wanted to get to the top, or who loved him and wanted to climb into his bed and have sex with him.
Those people can be obtained easily.
So, Yu Zhi was never interested.
The only person who could make him have such a strong greedy desire was Qiao Xi, who treated him like a monster and avoided him as much as possible.
He likes Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi likes him even though she thinks his character is extremely troublesome, naughty and bad, but her body develops feelings for him against her will.
Qiao Xi was very much rejected by his rationality.
He liked Qiao Xi very much, as she accepted him honestly despite her unexpectedly poor health.
Because Qiao Xi doesn't like him.
Therefore, there was never any love or affection in the eyes when they looked at him. As for Yu Zhi, who was baptized by such affectionate or infatuated gazes every day, he had long been disgusted with things that could be obtained easily.
Qiao Xi was the person he least had to worry about.
Because she has someone else in her heart, he can always love Qiao Xi without worry and play a one-night deal that only happens between adults.
If one day Qiao Xi falls in love with him.
I'm afraid that at that moment, Yu Zhi would lose all interest.
It’s like there were a few targets you liked before, but after getting to know them for a while, you fell in love with someone else without even holding their hand.
He just felt extremely disappointed.
It really spoils his mood and wastes his time.
Gan Youmeng is an example now. When the most attractive feature of her disappeared, the familiar feeling of being disappointed came back.
if.
Gan Youmeng was still the same as before, keeping him hanging with other men, and also keeping him fair.
Then Yu Zhi was happy to accompany him.
But now... this expression of deep love and affection only for him, without exception, shows that the other party has been officially conquered and the game is over.
He is no longer interested.
There are as many people who like him, value him, and are obsessed with him as you want.
So, he doesn't need one of those.
What he wants is uniqueness, something special to him, something that no one can replace. A uniqueness that will not stop for him, nor be obsessed with him, but will still be entangled with him.
"Bang!——"
Yu Zhi turned around and walked back with an expressionless face.
At this moment, the door was slammed shut in front of Gan Youmeng, and she was so scared that she trembled violently while standing outside.
Her heart tightened at this moment.
My heart was beating fast and I couldn't tell if it was from fear, nervousness, or just the palpitations.
But she only knew...
She felt like she had been rejected by Yu Zhi. Although that moment was brief, she could see impatience and a look of disappointment in Yu Zhi's expression.
Why?
Is it an illusion?
How could Brother Yu Zhi suddenly become like that? It was as if he had lost interest in something and turned around and left without looking back.
I felt ashamed for a moment.
Only the cold wind blew in from the window at the end of the corridor, stinging Gan Youmeng's skin. She clenched her hands in embarrassment, turned stiffly, and walked back to her room.
And these actions of hers.
It was also seen by Zhuang Wanqing who came out to get beer.
Zhuang Wanqing was leaning against the wall at the corner of the corridor, drinking silently from a can of beer. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her thoughts seeming to drift to some distant place.
On such a cold night.
She was only wearing relatively thin clothes, which outlined her slender and graceful figure.
Drink the beer.
Her stomach was constantly burning, but Zhuang Wanqing's mind was unusually clear. Being in the entertainment industry had long since trained her to have a good alcohol tolerance.
She has no background and no power.
In order to get ahead, he has done many things like what Gan Youmeng did to Yu Zhi just now.
She has nothing.
All she had was youth and a healthy body. So naturally, this became a boost to her future. If you want something, you have to pay a price, right?
She knew it from the moment she entered the entertainment industry.
She knew she was not a good person.
I just left the pure and sincere love that was left in my heart to the dream of my youth.
Joshua……
This is the only pure emotion in her, and this emotion will continue to be hidden in her heart as time goes by.
Some people are destined to be the bright moon in the night sky.
Unable to touch or approach, one can only watch from afar.
Just like how she treats Yu Zhi.
Even if she only had to look at that person's back, she would be satisfied if she could follow that person's footsteps and slowly approach the other person's identity.
Don't expect things that you shouldn't expect.
Once you try to force it, you will be shattered into pieces and nothing will be left.
Qiao Xi and Yu Zhi are close.
Gan Youmeng is also close to Yu Zhi. Zhuang Wanqing sees it and knows in her heart that Yu Zhi always has a special attitude towards them.
Unlike them who always keep their distance.
She thought it was different.
But in the end, Zhuang Wanqing just smiled self-deprecatingly. It turns out everyone is the same. Dreaming of getting close to that person is just nonsense. Perhaps no one has ever truly been able to enter Joshua's heart.
Finished a bottle of beer.
Zhuang Wanqing threw it into the trash can, sorted herself out, and waited until Gan Youmeng's footsteps outside completely disappeared, avoiding the embarrassment of meeting her.
Only then did she return to her room.
Heavy footsteps dragged the body, driving the hazy thoughts.
She had unspeakable feelings in her heart.
It's like a time machine that has been forgotten in the past, leaving only a vague silhouette.
When I occasionally touch it, the memories stored there are hot enough to make me heartbroken, but no matter how much I long for it, it is ultimately a past that I can never get.
For Zhuang Wanqing.
Such pure and sincere feelings were too dazzling to her who was now covered in mud.
She rolled around in the mud and struggled to climb out.
I am no longer worthy of such a passionate, pure, beautiful, and diamond-like love.
They should be buried forever in the girl of the past as time passes, just like her lost time.
Keep it.
Save the last one, the only beautiful memory.
Instead of following her until now, following this person who has been stained with filth and can never cleanse herself of her stains.
It feels like a piece of my heart has been hollowed out.
She was in a daze. She wasn't drunk, but she didn't know how she walked back to the room.
All she knew was that this sincere and passionate feeling that had illuminated her entire girlhood had now become a constant burning source of her pain and torment.
But even so...
This passionate feeling will probably intensify as Joshua moves further and further away from her.
