1795 The Old Liang Family Residence, Human Selfishness

Chi Shuyan was a bit helpless and speechless at Director Huang’s advice, and was immediately distracted.

The two soon arrived at Du Zhong’s room. Sure enough, Du Zhong was there, but his face was very unsightly and the atmosphere in the room was stiff, as if he had quarreled with Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing that Du Zhong was in his room, Director Huang heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately asked Du Zhong why he had come back so quietly and made everyone worry.

Du Zhong didn’t reply, but asked Director Huang with a stiff face, “Chengfei… is fine? Director Huang? He’s resting in his room? How is he?”

Director Huang mistakenly thought that Du Zhong had a good relationship with Zhou Chengfei, and he stopped wondering why Du Zhong had suddenly run back just now. Seeing that he was so concerned about Zhou Chengfei, he immediately said, “Chengfei is fine. I just saw him; he sprained his ankle. It’s not a big problem.”

As soon as Director Huang said that, Du Zhong’s face turned uglier and he continued to ask, “Did Chengfei really fall into the well?”

Director Huang was very puzzled by this question. He said, “How can it be fake? We pulled Chengfei up ourselves. By the way, Assistant Chi was the one who did the most tonight.”

Director Huang specially mentioned Chi Shuyan, and only then did Du Zhong look at her a little. It was just that his mind was filled with the terrifying scene he had seen in the well. The densely packed tentacles and barbs stuck to the wall of the well made his heart pound and he felt especially nauseated.

His mind had gone blank at this terrifying scene, and he panicked and immediately abandoned the others and ran away. He was sure that he hadn’t seen wrongly at all. The thing climbing up couldn’t be Zhou Chengfei at all, but why did Director Huang, Fang Yu and the others say that it was Zhou Chengfei who had climbed up the well?

Could it be that he really had been mistaken?

Impossible, he couldn’t be mistaken.

At that moment, Du Zhong vaguely regretted taking on this horror variety show for the sake of fame. Many people said that there was something wrong with this old residence, but no one believed it. Du Zhong’s sixth sense vaguely told him that if he stayed here, something would definitely happen. No, he didn’t want to stay, let alone film. He had to go back immediately.

Director Huang didn’t know that Du Zhong was already thinking about leaving. Under the light, he saw that Du Zhong’s face was terrifyingly pale, as if he had just suffered a huge blow.

Could it be that he had been scared when he went with them to find Chengfei tonight?

He didn’t expect this kid to be so cowardly.

Director Huang regretted asking this kid to go with them. If he had known that he was so cowardly, he would have let him go back to his room first.

“Director Huang, I’m tired and want to rest first,” Du Zhong said.

“Okay, okay, okay… It’s late now. Everyone, go back to your rooms first!”

“Okay!” Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen replied in unison.

Chi Shuyan had the vague sense that Du Zhong probably knew something. Before she left, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She did want to stay and ask him for information, but she thought of how Director Huang had mistakenly thought that she wanted to kiss up to Zhou Chengfei. If she stayed now, he would probably think that she wanted to do the same with the Du man as well.

She hated trouble, so she simply waited for everyone to disperse and go back to their rooms before she went back and knocked on Du Zhong’s door.

Du Zhong jumped in fright when he heard the knock on the door. His tone was especially unsteady and weak. “Who is it?”

“Me! Film Empress Song’s assistant!” Chi Shuyan said.

Chi Shuyan didn’t wait long. After the other party looked at her through the peephole, he relaxed and opened the door. Du Zhong was very surprised that the young lady was looking for him.

He had a deep impression of Film Empress Song’s assistant. Who asked this young lady to be even more beautiful than Film Empress Song? Not to mention, her unique temperament wasn’t like that of an assistant at all.

However, Du Zhong placed a lot of emphasis on status. The other party might not look like an assistant, but she was just an assistant in the end. He didn’t think much of her at all. If this young lady had wanted to throw herself at him before tonight, he would have been in the mood to play along; he might be able to get close to Film Empress Song through this assistant.

But now, his heart was filled with fear, so how could he be in the mood to play along with this young lady? Even if she was very beautiful, Du Zhong couldn’t stand it anymore. “What’s the matter? I’m sleepy. We’ll talk tomorrow!”

With that, Du Zhong was about to close the door, but Chi Shuyan blocked him. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, “Mr. Du, you seemed very surprised that Zhou Chengfei was rescued from the bottom of the well?”

“What does that have to do with you?” Du Zhong didn’t want to dwell on what he had seen at the bottom of the well. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was. He just wanted to contact his manager immediately and get him to pick him up and take him out of here. As for whether or not anything else happened to the others, it was none of his business.

Chi Shuyan didn’t care about Du Zhong’s attitude. She narrowed her eyes and continued to ask, “What on earth did you see in the well, Mr. Du? I think if you hadn’t seen something you shouldn’t have, you wouldn’t have run away so fast.”

Chi Shuyan hitting the nail on the head made Du Zhong anxious enough to puke blood. He retorted in exasperation, “I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything. I ran back because I was sleepy. By the way, who the hell are you to question me? I’ll call for Director Huang right now! I’ll also ask him if a mere assistant is worthy of knocking on my door and daring to question me.”

Chi Shuyan’s face didn’t change as she stared deeply at the man in front of her. It should be said that she had overestimated this Du man’s character and underestimated human selfishness.

But she had seen all sorts of selfish people, so she wasn’t that surprised.

Needless to say, Du Zhong felt good after venting his anger, but this woman’s eyes were too scary and inexplicably stressed him out.

Was this woman really an assistant?

This thought flashed through Du Zhong’s head, but he immediately threw it to the back of his head. Du Zhong didn’t want to waste time on this woman anymore. He closed the door with a bang.

Chi Shuyan’s expression didn’t change as she looked away, and she could only go back to her room first. When she returned, she saw that Qi Hao had woken up and was playing games on his phone on the couch. When he saw her, this kid excitedly jumped up from the couch and called out, “Sister-in-law!”

Chi Shuyan pinched her throbbing temples, calmed the kid down, then immediately said, “Haozi, if you’re free tomorrow, help me find out what Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen quarreled with that Du guy about earlier, and what he said to them.”
