The three of them drove to a nearby food street.
The area is full of filming locations, so there's a large night market nearby. Wen Li ordered enough food for three people by herself.
At first, Wen Xingming was worried that Wen Li wouldn't be able to finish the food, but after seeing that Wen Li had finished eating, he started to worry that she might feel uncomfortable after eating.
But after finishing the skewers, Wen Xingming saw that Wen Li had rewarded him with two cakes and a cup of milk tea. He finally realized that this child was really just a big eater and could eat as much as she wanted without any problems.
No wonder her agent ordered her assistant to keep an eye on her.
"You eat so much every day, how come you don't gain weight?" Wen Xingming asked curiously.
Wen Li casually said, "I was very hungry when I was a child."
Wen Xingming didn't continue the conversation. Wen Li hadn't mentioned her family situation, but he guessed that she might have had a difficult childhood.
On the way back, Wen Li asked him about his past conflict with Meng Chen.
Wen Xingming doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs, but Meng Chen is an exception.
"I'm now being vilified online all because of him! Back in the day, I was a top star in the entertainment industry, and I was getting invitations from all over the place." Wen Xingming said, then his voice drooped. "But last year, Meng Chen told me that he wanted to discuss a male lead role in a movie with me. We were on good terms at the time, so I didn't think much of it and went."
"But when I arrived at the hotel that Meng Chen mentioned, the person who came was not Meng Chen, but a woman."
The woman insisted that their relationship was not platonic and even posted their "chat history" online.
Then his PC was exposed.
There was no room for explanation.
He originally wanted Meng Chen to explain why he went to the hotel, but Meng Chen refused.
Wen Xingming wasn't stupid. He wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on after this series of coincidences. It was all Meng Chen's doing!
After listening, Wen Li had some guesses in her mind and asked, "Back then, Meng Chen's resources probably weren't very good, right?"
Wen Xingming nodded: "It's not that it was bad, it's just that I was more famous than him at the time."
But a year later, Meng Chen became famous even faster than he had been back then.
Wen Xingming didn't get a reply from Wen Li. He turned his head and saw Wen Li's dark eyes staring straight at him.
"W-what's wrong?" Wen Xingming swallowed nervously.
Every time Wen Li was silent, he felt uneasy, as if he would be doomed if she opened her mouth any second.
"It's nothing," Wen Li said calmly, but she asked, "Did Meng Chen give you anything before your accident?"
"No..." Wen Xingming was about to answer without thinking, but before he could finish speaking, an object suddenly came to mind, and his voice changed abruptly: "We used to be close and would often exchange gifts, but we broke up later, and I threw away all the things he gave me, but... there is one thing I kept."
"What is that?"
Wen Xingming swallowed hard: "Buddha, Buddha statue."
After a long silence, Wen Li slowly uttered a few words: "So stupid!"
Can Buddha statues be accepted casually?
Originally, they were going back to the hotel to rest, but Wen Li insisted that Wen Xingming come home so she could see the Buddha statue.
Normally, Wen Li is like a salted fish on set, with little presence, so her sudden seriousness made him feel uneasy.
So, after dropping his assistant off at the hotel, Wen Xingming drove two hours back to the old house.
On the way, Wen Xingming explained, "Buddha statues are different from other things; you can't just throw them away whenever you want, so I locked them in the warehouse at home."
Just like in today's society, people claim to believe in science, but in reality, they spend their free time kneeling in temples for long periods without getting up.
Most people hold a sense of awe towards ghosts and spirits, especially since his family is in business.
I got home at exactly midnight.
This was Wen Li's first time visiting the Wen family home. At that moment, only a few streetlights were on in the villa.
The villa is in a European style, with green ivy and other green plants hanging on the white walls, and two three-meter-high copper-painted gates in the middle.
Wen Li blinked, staring at the door in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.
Wen Xingming led Wen Li into the villa.
As soon as Wen Li entered, she saw that the interior was filled with malevolent energy, and black mist swirled around every corner.
As Wen Xingming walked in, the murderous aura surged towards him as if it had found its master.
Snap—
As Wen Li raised her hand, it seemed to be covered with a layer of white silver light, which vanished the moment her hand touched the black mist.
Wen Xingming couldn't see anything, but the moment the black mist disappeared, he seemed to hear a sound deep in his soul, but it vanished before he could catch it.
Where is the Buddha statue?
"On the third floor."
Wen Xingming quickly led Wen Li to a room on the third floor.
The room door creaked open.
Whether it was due to the dim lighting or some other reason, Wen Xingming felt that the room was gloomy and a chill permeated from all directions.
A Buddha statue the size of a palm stood before the two of them.
The Buddha statue is bronze in color, with a carefree expression, its right hand raised in front of its chest, and a strange smile on its face.
“There’s something wrong with this Buddha statue.” Wen Li entered the room and examined the statue in her hands. “It doesn’t belong to any Buddhist Buddha statue.”
"This thing isn't a Buddha statue?" Wen Xingming was completely dumbfounded. "Then let's get rid of it quickly. I didn't feel anything before, but now this thing is getting weirder and weirder."
“You can’t lose him now.” Wen Li lowered her eyes, watching as black energy gradually emanated from the Buddha statue, seemingly trying to entangle her. “This is just an evil entity, nurtured in the underwater tomb, and now it has entangled you.”
