To avoid disturbing us, Lu Xiaojuan and Huang Dabiao huddled by the door with the five little weasel spirits, whispering sweet nothings.
Hearing Bai Ruoyun's voice, Lu Xiaojuan then stood up and opened the wooden door of the dressing room.
It was Bai Ruoyun outside. Dressed in a business suit, she looked as serious as a corporate administrative white - collar worker. Seeing Si Jiangchen leading me out by the hand, she quickly bowed and pointed to the VIP lounge in the hotel lobby. "The main people in charge of the program are all there. They've all finished giving their statements. Now it's just you and Miss Du left!"
It turned out that while Si Jiangchen and I were in the Underworld looking for Lu Xiaojuan's soul, the police officers had already arrived at the hotel. They not only sealed all the rooms where people had died but also finished taking statements from everyone.
After the police officers' investigation, it was revealed that Su Guohua was actually in a sugar - baby relationship with An Hong.
Su Guohua wanted to debut as an amateur during this program's broadcast. He wanted to leave An Hong, so... he secretly sneaked into An Hong's room at night to clarify the situation. But An Hong disagreed, so Su Guohua killed her!
Knowing he couldn't escape legal punishment, Su Guohua jumped from the building and died with his head smashed and blood everywhere...
Such an explanation of the case... was it too perfect?
I looked at Si Jiangchen in surprise.
He just smiled faintly and said to me, "The power of capital, Xiao He, is beyond your imagination."
I was taken aback, and my eyes couldn't help but fall on Ma Su, who was still wearing a white silk nightgown. Her face looked terrible, and her fingers always involuntarily touched her neck. The Tianzhu necklace that used to be there had already been thrown by me into the flames of the burning talisman, sending the souls of An Hong and the old zombie to the Underworld...
Ma Su really suffered a net loss by coming to the Water World program this time. She not only failed to capture the evil spirits representing the five desires but also destroyed her own magical artifact!
After the police officers questioned Si Jiangchen and me as a routine, they dismissed everyone from the program.
This was a crime scene. Even if the police officers didn't care, I'm afraid no one would be willing to stay here...
Si Jiangchen rented a villa in the resort for a short - term stay. We didn't need to leave in a hurry.
Bai Ruoyun and Fang Rui already had a car from their brokerage company to pick them up. They came specifically to say goodbye to Si Jiangchen and me.
Actually, I knew that they mainly wanted to make a deeper impression in front of Si Jiangchen. Maybe if there were any good resources in the film and television company under the Fir Group, General Manager Si might favor them for their obedient behavior this time!
I had a good impression of Bai Ruoyun. This girl was not pretentious and hadn't picked up too many bad habits in the entertainment industry.
So when she asked me for my contact information, I happily left my WeChat for her.
Shi Anbang was the director of the program. He had a gambling agreement with the investor. It seemed that the live - streaming room could have reached the expected number of viewers this time, but it was forced to close due to the death of people.
This made him extremely unwilling, but he was also lucky. Although the program lost money this time, he got to know Si Jiangchen. When he left, he also came to say hello to us and asked Si Jiangchen's company to consider hiring him for some live - streaming programs.
Nowadays, it's all about traffic. The cycle of movies and TV shows is too long. It's not as fast as live - streaming to create stars, and it can also realize profits quickly.
Si Jiangchen just listened to his rambling for a long time. Finally, he told him that the Fir Group would contact him if there was a need. Shi Anbang immediately beamed with joy and quickly took out his phone to leave his contact information for Si Jiangchen.
Si Jiangchen just waved his hand.
Shi Anbang's old face immediately flushed... If the Fir Group wanted to find him, why would they need his phone number?
Shi Anbang mumbled his thanks and bowed as he left our sight.
"You're really imposing," I said, curled up on the sofa, watching Shi Anbang leave cautiously.
Si Jiangchen leaned over and pulled me into his arms. "After some time, when we hold our wedding, you'll be this imposing too."
"I... I don't want to," I said. Si Jiangchen, who hadn't slept all night, had stubble on his chin that rubbed against my neck. It tickled me and I wanted to dodge.
We both tacitly avoided mentioning the memories of our past lives that I saw in the "Book of Reincarnation" in the Underworld...
Actually, it wasn't really a past life. We had just lived for a long time.
Nestled in Si Jiangchen's arms, I felt drowsy. After running away for so long, I still couldn't escape his embrace.
Just when I thought no one else would come, Ma Su, wearing high - heels and carrying only a small suitcase, knocked on the door of our villa.
"Xiao He, thank you for helping me this time," she said, still wearing a kind smile on her face. It was completely impossible to tell that she was the one who caused two deaths and two injuries in this program.
"Ma Su, I advise you to break up with Sheng Shixun," I said. The terrifying face of the one - eyed Buddha Mother immediately came to my mind when I saw her. "He's using you. You'll die a violent death!"
Ma Su's smile remained unchanged. "Xiao He, I don't understand what you're saying... I just think you have great potential. It would really be a pity if you don't develop in the entertainment industry!"
She didn't come closer. She just waved her phone and said, "I'm leaving first. I'll invite you to some fun programs later!"
After saying that, without waiting for my reply, she turned around and dragged her suitcase out of our sight.
"... Is she here to provoke us?" I said, looking in the direction where Ma Su left, feeling a bit annoyed.
Si Jiangchen turned around and pulled me into his arms again. "Don't mind her..."
"Xiao He..." He gently rested his head on my forehead, and his nose rubbed against mine. "What was the last scene you saw in the Book of Reincarnation?"
"Um..." I thought for a while and said shyly, "I saw the two of us dressed in wedding clothes, getting married. But you were so fierce..."
I remembered how he summoned a thunderbolt during that wedding and smashed Si Cheng's head to pieces. I shivered in fear.
"What happens after the wedding ceremony?" Si Jiangchen sighed, seemingly helpless about my chaotic thoughts...
"After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds are sent to the bridal chamber," I said, remembering that in the TV shows I watched, the emcee would always shout like this after the male and female leads got married.
"Right... We didn't go all the way back then..." Si Jiangchen's voice carried a faint hint of temptation. "Xiao He, do you want to try this delayed wedding night?"
"No!" My face instantly flushed like a flame. I knew he must have had some ulterior motive when he suddenly asked me these questions...
"We've already... you know," I said. I used to always feel a bit burdened, thinking that we were living together before marriage. But the Book of Reincarnation clearly recorded that we had been husband and wife a hundred years ago...
