At this moment, Huang Yuxin thought a lot. She was wondering whether her husband had ever caused trouble for Zi Yan. She even had an absurd idea that her husband might have wanted to take advantage of Zi Yan, which was why Zi Yan held a grudge against him.
But on second thought, her husband's character is still trustworthy, and he has never done anything messy in the circle over the years. She shouldn't think like this.
She couldn't guess the reason, so she asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
The director showed a hint of unnaturalness on his face.
Shen Ye stared at him: "It's not a big deal, why don't you say anything?"
"I..." The director sighed, glanced at his wife guiltily, and said, "I just feel sorry for Yu Xin. It seems like I'm the one who brought Zi Yan down."
Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to have any friendship with Zi Yan, so Huang Yuxin felt relieved: "It's okay, go ahead."
So the director said it.
The story was simple enough. Some time ago, Zi Yan joined the production team and knocked on the actor's door at night. The director saw her. He was used to such things, and as long as it didn't affect filming, he wasn't prepared to intervene. But the actor simply shut the door. Furious, Zi Yan turned around and looked at the director. Perhaps feeling humiliated or perhaps afraid he'd tell others, she turned back and tried to seduce the director. The director didn't dare respond and ran away in terror.
After being rejected twice in a row, it goes without saying that Zi Yan must be holding a grudge.
She probably couldn't understand why the director didn't accept her seduction, so she took her anger out on the director's wife.
After hearing the explanation, Huang Yuxin just felt that Zi Yan was a lunatic!
She also felt that her husband was very pitiful, as he was just passing by, but was implicated. She herself was even more miserable, after all, she was the one that Zi Yan finally took revenge on.
Shen Ye glanced at the director again and said, “From your appearance, I can see that you have a lot to do with Zi Yan. Are you not hiding anything else?”
The director quickly said, "That's really all there is to it."
Shen Ye lowered his brows in thought, and suddenly asked, "Zi Yan and Deng Lingkun came out of the same room one day. Did you also see them?"
The director was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and clapped his hands: "Yes! But it was broad daylight, I thought they were just discussing the script and didn't think much of it!"
“…” Shen Ye was certain that this director was just unlucky.
Zi Yan and Deng Lingkun were arguing that day. Deng Lingkun had previously revealed that there was a treasure in Mr. Wang's home, and he thought Zi Yan would harm Mr. Wang's family. Instead, Zi Yan spared Mr. Wang's life. Mr. Wang continued to harass him, and Deng Lingkun, displeased, went to Zi Yan to confront her.
Of course, Zi Yan couldn't be afraid of a villain like Deng Lingkun, and tried to get rid of Deng Lingkun with a few words.
But Deng Lingkun was also very cunning. He vaguely knew that Zi Yan had killed someone, so he used this to threaten Zi Yan.
The two of them had an argument, and the director happened to pass by the door. Zi Yan thought the director heard it, so she wanted to teach him a lesson.
The director and his wife have a good relationship. Huang Yuxin has been sleepwalking and running around every night lately, and the director can't rest easy. He has to follow his wife at night and is busy with work during the day, but he also has to worry about her. Unfortunately, the director is also old, and if he doesn't get enough rest, his body will definitely not be able to bear it in the long run, and he might collapse one day.
After listening to Shen Ye's story, the director and his wife were frightened and didn't say a word for a long time.
"I think I should find a place to worship." The director smiled bitterly.
Chen Ye handed him two talismans: "Carry them with you, and the bad luck will slowly dissipate."
The director gratefully accepted it, handed one talisman to his wife, and placed the other solemnly in his pocket.
From then on, the director's problem was completely resolved.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze walked out of the bedroom.
Huang Yuxin particularly admired Chen Ye and insisted on keeping Chen Ye for lunch.
Shen Ye smiled and said, “No, we have something else to do.”
In fact, he wanted to take Ye Ze back to make duck necks.
Ye Ze was now able to grasp his thoughts quickly and accurately, and touched his head with some amusement.
Shen Ye made a face at him.
The corners of Ye Ze's lips curled up slightly.
Before leaving, Shen Ye suddenly remembered something and said to the director: “Look back and observe the actor. If he is in trouble, tell him to come to me.”
The movie emperor also rejected Zi Yan. Given Zi Yan's vengeful personality, she might have done something to the movie emperor.
The director immediately agreed, while secretly praying in his heart that nothing would happen to the actor.
Things haven't been going well for the crew lately. First, Ning Shihua was hospitalized after an accident, then Zi Yan died unexpectedly, and then Deng Lingkun also had an accident and is still in the hospital. If something happens to the best actor again, the crew will just disband.
Seeing that he was worried, Shen Ye smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the crew will be safe and sound from now on.”
Master Shen's words were more effective than any reassurance, and the director breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you!" The director was so grateful that he almost cried, and quickly transferred tens of thousands of yuan in compensation to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye did not refuse and said, “If there is anything with the crew in the future, you can contact me.”
The possibility of something going wrong is very small, and Shen Ye is also giving the director a guarantee.
The director was indeed very happy and agreed repeatedly.
Afterwards, Shen Ye and Ye Ze left the director's house.
As soon as he got in the car, Shen Ye excitedly got into Ye Ze’s arms: “You can feel the source of the Yin energy!”
Ye Ze put his arms around his waist and nodded, "Yeah."
Shen Ye said with a smile: "It seems that my guess is correct, you may have entered the Tao a long time ago."
The incense burner was still useful. The endless spiritual energy awakened the sealed thing in Ye Ze's body.
Ye Ze's fingers slowly stroked his hair without saying a word.
Shen Ye tilted his head and kissed the ring on the man's hand: "Maybe when we practice dual cultivation, there will be an even bigger surprise."
Having said that, Ye Ze also felt a little excited.
Shen Ye was in a very good mood. He took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Wang: “Did you get up on time today?”
In his opinion, the incense burner came from the Wang family, and since it was useful to Ye Ze, he should care more about Mr. Wang as a reward.
And at the moment the call was connected, Shen Ye's wrist was tightly grasped by Ye Ze.
Shen Ye didn't understand what was going on, so he held his phone and looked at the man.
The man looked at him intently with deep and dark eyes.
Shen Ye: “?”
Mr. Wang happened to speak over there: "Master, I got up on time and ran two kilometers. I asked the housekeeper to record it and send it to you later."
This apprentice is quite obedient.
Shen Ye was very satisfied and said, “Okay, I hope you can stick to it.”
Today is only the first day. It would be great if you can stick to it.
As a result, just as Shen Ye finished speaking, Ye Ze's fingertips pinching his wrist suddenly became stronger, and his other hand pinched his waist.
Shen Ye looked at the man in confusion, asking with his eyes what was wrong.
The man did not answer, but lowered his head and bit his mouth.
Shen Ye: “…”
So what Mr. Wang said over there, Shen Ye couldn't hear at all, because he directly hung up the phone and concentrated on welcoming the man's kiss.
After it was over, Shen Ye and the man looked at each other for a few seconds, then grinned: "Uncle, are you jealous?"
Ye Ze coughed lightly and said nothing.
But the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed his discomfort.
Shen Ye smiled like a cat stealing fish, hugging the man's neck tightly: "So cute."
Ye Cu Cu Ze’s cuteness ranks first in his heart!
In response, the man's face approached again.
Later, Shen Ye’s mouth was swollen, and he quickly comforted the man: “I thought that the Wang family’s incense burner was useful, and I cared more about Mr. Wang as a reward.”
Of course Ye Ze knew what he was thinking, but jealousy was something he couldn't control.
Shen Ye smirked.
He really likes it when a man is jealous. Once jealous, he will kiss him hard. The man's out-of-control look makes Shen Ye's heart beat fast.
After returning home, Ye Ze made five-spice duck neck for Shen Ye according to the recipe provided by Mr. Wang's mother. He even added more chili peppers to cater to Shen Ye's taste.
Shen Ye ate with gusto and kept praising: "Delicious!"
Ye Ze leaned on the chair next to the child, looking quietly at the child's lips that were red from the spiciness, without saying a word.
Shen Ye held up a piece of duck neck: "Would you like to try it?"
Ye Ze shook his head.
"It's really delicious, your cooking skills are amazing!" Shen Ye highly recommended it.
Ye Ze continued to stare at his rosy lips, and suddenly lowered his head.
Shen Ye was kissed again, he was still holding a piece of duck neck in his hand, and he was in a dazed state.
But he soon came to his senses and responded to the man enthusiastically.
"Hmm, delicious." After finishing, Ye Ze reached out and gently touched the corner of the red lips.
Shen Ye stared at the man's slender jade-like fingers, and for some reason, his face turned red.
Ye Ze raised the corners of his lips slightly, poured a glass of squeezed watermelon juice and placed it in front of the child.
The watermelon juice was served without ice, which was a perfect match with the duck neck.
Shen Ye blinked, suddenly put down the duck neck, and said, "I don't want to eat it anymore."
"Hmm?" Ye Ze asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I want to eat you." Shen Ye stood up and pulled the man outside.
Ye Ze lowered his eyes and looked at the two people's clasped hands, and smiled softly.
When I walked out of the kitchen, I happened to run into Shen Shimu.
"Why did you come out?" Shen Shimu asked curiously.
The eldest son and his wife often hang out in the kitchen, so of course everyone else would deliberately avoid them, even the cook would find excuses to avoid them.
If Shen Shimu hadn't wanted to drink watermelon juice, he wouldn't have come in.
Shen Ye glanced at him and said, “Uncle braised the duck neck for me, you are not allowed to touch it.”
After saying that, he pulled Ye Ze away.
Shen Shimu: “…”
He walked into the kitchen and saw a large plate of duck necks on the table, which had not been cleared away. They all knew how much Shen Ye valued Ye Ze's cooking. Today, Shen Ye actually ran away without finishing the duck neck. This was really unbelievable.
Could it be... that duck neck is too unpalatable?
But the duck neck looks delicious and doesn’t look like a dark dish.
Shen Shimu stood in front of the table, staring at the plate of duck necks, a fierce struggle going on in his mind.
Would you like to try a piece?
If he tasted it, would Shen Ye beat him up?
"Want to eat?" Zong Yiming's voice came from behind him.
Shen Shimu turned around and looked at him: "Why did you come in?"
Zong Yiming didn't answer, but just repeated the question: "Want to eat?"
Shen Shimu stayed in the kitchen for too long, and he was worried. As a result, when he came in, he found Shen Shimu staring at the duck neck and drooling.
"It smells delicious." Shen Shimu turned his gaze back to the duck neck and swallowed.
Zong Yiming looked at him quietly for two seconds, then picked up the recipe on the table and took a look. The steps were clear and not very complicated. He put the recipe back on the table and turned to look at the countertop. There were still some ingredients left over for another dish of five-spice duck neck.
"Got it." Zong Yiming rolled up his sleeves, walked to the cupboard, and began to prepare the seasoning according to the steps on the recipe.
“…” Shen Shimu stared at his back in a daze, and didn’t say a word for a long time.
When Zong Yiming finished braising the duck neck, Shen Shimu suddenly walked over and hugged his waist from behind.
"Thank you." Shen Shimu said sullenly.
Zong Yiming held his hand on his waist, turned around, hugged him in his arms, and bent down to kiss him.
Two days later, the school's first final exam began.
Shen Ye was full of confidence, but Ye Ze was like a parent sending a college entrance examination candidate, and he picked him up on the same day.
"You just don't trust me enough." Shen Ye protested.
At this time, their car was parked at the school gate, and there were only ten minutes left before the exam.
Ye Ze touched his face: "I'll wait here for you to finish the exam."
Shen Ye glared at him, still dissatisfied.
Ye Ze kissed him: "I was too nervous. You have to understand the mentality of a parent."
The word "parent" seemed quite nice, and Shen Ye smiled and kissed him back: "I forgive you."
Ye Ze chuckled and handed him the thermos cup: "Go ahead."
Shen Ye hummed, pushed the door and got out of the car, waving at him.
Cai Zhiwei had just arrived and glanced at Ye Ze's car. He asked curiously, "It's just the final exam. Did your fiancé send you here specially?"
"Yeah." Shen Ye said with a smile, "We have a good relationship."
Cai Zhiwei: “…”
He lost, and Chen Ye still hadn't changed his bad habit of posting dog food whenever he disagreed with something.
Even though he was a fanboy of Shen Ye, he had to admit that when it came to posting dog food, Master Shen was so annoying!
Shen Ye's exam was particularly easy, and he even handed in his paper early.
Ye Ze promised to take him to eat hot pot today, and he couldn't wait to run to the school gate to meet them.
Just as he walked out of the teaching building, Lin Zhi caught up with him.
Some time ago, Linzhi took leave to go home and take care of his parents, and only recently returned to school to take exams.
“This is a specialty from our hometown. I hope you and Mr. Ye like it.” Lin Zhi held a large paper bag and handed it to Shen Ye.
Her father was still recovering at home, but he was not dismissed from his post, all thanks to Shen Ye and Ye Ze.
Shen Ye glanced at the paper bag and did not refuse.
"If you need anything, feel free to contact me," he said.
Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, but she was thinking in her heart that it was a great favor for Shen Ye to help her solve the family problems, and she would not trouble Shen Ye for such a small matter.
The two said goodbye, and Shen Ye walked to the school gate with the paper bag.
After getting in the car, he handed the bag to Ye Ze: "Open it and take a look. It's from Lin Zhi, and half of it is for you."
Ye Ze took out the things in the bag, which turned out to be a few boxes of tea leaves with a small note inside. Ye Ze read it silently and handed it to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye glanced at him for a few times, then smiled and said, “Grandpa likes to drink tea, so I can give it to him.”
Ye Ze nodded.
This tea was picked by my family in Linzhi. It's said to be fresh tea, picked around the time of Grain Rain. Those tea trees grow on the top of the Lishan Mountain, rich in spiritual energy. Drinking this tea should be good for Grandpa Ye's health.
Shen Ye sighed: “It’s quite interesting to help others.”
When he met someone who was grateful, he would feel that it was worth it. As for those who returned kindness with enmity, Shen Ye was certainly not afraid of them, he would just step on them and crush them.
Ye Ze held his hand: "Well, let's do more good deeds in the future."
In fact, the Ye family has always been involved in charity, donating countless amounts of money every year. But Ye Ze was just fulfilling his social responsibility and didn't take it seriously. But after being with the child, he saw the child's kindness and integrity, and he truly understood the meaning of it.
The two were planning to go to a famous hot pot restaurant in the city center. It took about an hour to drive there, which was just lunch time.
It was a rare occasion that there was no one else to act as a light bulb today. It was just the two of them, so it was like a date. Shen Ye was particularly happy and had already reserved a seat.
But halfway through, he suddenly received a call from Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi's tone was anxious on the phone: "Master Shen, Ning Shihua's skin is ulcerated all over... I don't know if it's tetanus. The doctor said it might be the rust on the nails, or maybe they were smeared with poison... Do you have time to come to the hospital now?"
Shen Ye frowned.
The last time he went to see Ning Shihua, he didn't notice that the nails were smeared with poison, nor did he see that Ning Shihua's skin was ulcerated. Moreover, he gave Ning Shihua talisman paper, so he should be healed soon!
"I'll be right there." After he hung up the phone, he explained the situation to Ye Ze.
Not to mention the friendship between Shen Ye and Mr. Shi, even if a stranger was in danger, Shen Ye would go to help. Therefore, Ye Ze was not surprised at all and directly asked the driver to turn around and go to the hospital.
Shen Ye hugged the man's waist: "I'm sorry, it was supposed to be our date time."
He has been looking forward to it for a long time!
Ye Ze pinched his ear: "It's okay."
As long as two people are together, it doesn't matter what they do.
The two rushed to the hospital. Mr. Shi and Ning Shihua's agent looked at the door and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Ye arrived.
In their opinion, as long as Master Shen is present, the problem can definitely be solved easily.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze held hands and walked to the VIP ward on the rooftop.
Ning Shihua hid in the quilt with her head down.
The agent called her and said, "Master Shen is here."
Ning Shihua then lifted the quilt.
Shen Ye thought her face was also rotten, but her face was intact, and even because of recuperation in the hospital, her complexion was better than when she was filming.
He stared at Ning Shihua for a few seconds and said, "Let me see your injury."
Ning Shihua stretched out her arm without hesitation.
The skin on that arm looked like it had been corroded by sulfuric acid. It was festered and smelled terrible.
"Master Shen, please help me." Ning Shihua cried so sadly that she didn't even dare to look at herself.
She is an actress. With her body in this condition, how can she act and face her fans and moviegoers?
Shen Ye frowned and said, “When did it start?”
"It should be last night. I felt itchy all over my body, so I scratched it with my nails. I was asleep at that time and didn't take it seriously. This morning, I saw that my whole body was scratched..." Ning Shihua retracted his arm, really not wanting to pollute everyone's eyes anymore.
The agent added, "The doctor just sent the test results. It's not because of something bad eaten, nor is it because of rusty nails..."
The doctor's original words were that the cause could not be found at the moment.
Shen Ye: "Of course the doctor can't find the reason, because she was under a spell, and someone wants to harm her."
When these words were spoken, both the agent and Ning Shihua were shocked.
Mr. Shi kept asking, "Is it Zi Yan? But isn't Zi Yan dead?"
He saw with his own eyes Master Shen extracting Zi Yan's soul, causing her to scatter.
"It's not her." Chen Ye looked at Ning Shihua again and asked her, "How is your psychological endurance?"
Ning Shihua was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Mr. Shi understood. After all, he had experienced the incident between Mr. Wang and Deng Lingkun. Mr. Wang was just too mentally challenged. He peed and cried...
It seems that this matter is related to Ning Shihua himself.
Mr. Shi thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, this matter must be resolved. If it has anything to do with Ning Shihua herself, then she must know."
Ning Shihua finally understood, stopped sobbing, and looked at Shen Ye: "Tell me, I'm fine."
After so many years of struggling in the circle, if she didn't have strong psychological endurance, how could she have survived the years of being suppressed by her peers and chased and scolded by black fans?
Shen Ye stopped talking nonsense and said, "Have your parents come to take care of you recently?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Shihua's face turned pale instantly.
Mr. Shi and his agent were also confused.
Master Shen’s meaning was too obvious. The people who harmed Ning Shihua were actually her parents?
"This..." Mr. Shi hesitated, "Can you tell me specifically what happened?"
He didn't doubt Master Shen's ability at all, but he just found it incredible.
Chen Ye said, "Why not call her parents and confront them face to face?"
To be honest, the last time he came to the hospital, he really didn't expect Ning Shihua to be in such a disaster.
Ning Shihua opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.
Her parents have always been good to her, how could they harm her?
But Master Shen never made a mistake...
In the end, Ning Shihua called her parents over.
While waiting for Ning's father and mother to arrive, Shen Ye did not make any explanation, but only said: "You will understand later."
Ning Shihua waited anxiously. She could not accept her parents being hurt more than having her body fester.
Ning's parents were staying in a hotel near the hospital, making it convenient for them to take care of Ning Shihua. Ning's mother had gotten up early in the morning to make some soup and was about to bring it over. They were already preparing to leave when Ning Shihua called, so it only took about ten minutes for them to arrive at the ward.
Ning Shihua was born in a small town. His parents were teachers, giving people a very simple feeling.
Shen Ye observed their faces carefully, and finally understood what was going on, and suddenly showed a speechless expression.
The others also looked at Ning's father and mother.
Ning's mother felt very uncomfortable and asked, "What...what happened?"
She recalled that she looked in the mirror before going out and there was nothing wrong.
No one answered her.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Ye again, waiting for Shen Ye to speak.
Mr. Shi asked in a low voice: "Master Shen, look..."
"Oh, they were the ones who harmed Ning Shihua." Shen Ye said directly.
Ning Shihua stared at her parents in disbelief.
Ning's father and mother were confused at first, but then they seemed to think of something and their expressions became unnatural, and it was obvious that something was fishy.
“…” Ning Shihua covered her face and started crying again.
The agent patted her shoulder and said, "Don't cry. Let's listen to what Master Shen has to say first."
Ning Shihua wiped her tears and looked at Shen Ye again.
Shen Ye asked her, "Did your parents talk to you recently and ask you to quit the entertainment industry and get married?"
Ning Shihua nodded.
After learning that she was injured while hanging from a wire, her parents talked to her and said that the profession of an actor was too hard and they hoped she could retire and get married and have children.
Ning Shihua didn't think much about it.
Since she was 28, her parents have been urging her to get married, even though she has won international film awards and made countless money. However, her parents always think that being a wife and mother is the lifelong destiny of a woman, and they always want her to quit the entertainment industry and get married.
But they just kept nagging her, and when she refused, her parents didn't force her.
Shen Ye sneered: “They didn’t force you before, but you are thirty-eight years old this year, and they are anxious.”
