Lu Siyu bit her lip hard and forced a smile, “Brother Yue, I’m really sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but when my parents kicked her out of the house, she changed her phone number. I have no idea how to contact her now.”Qin Yue waved his hand, “Don’t worry about that. She’s actually coming to participate in the final recording of ‘Youth Trainee’ today, and it’s at Lemon TV. Just go to her dressing room, apologize to her, and then invite her out for a meal. I’ll personally discuss the signing with her then.”
Lu Siyu ground her teeth, her face showing a bitter expression, “Brother Yue, she probably hates me the most right now. If I go to see her, it might only make things worse.”
Qin Yue looked meaningfully at her, “Siyu, I’m considering this for your sake. Her popularity is soaring right now. Just a random photo of her could make it to the trending topics. If the company signs her, it’s a win-win situation for both you and the company.”
“I know, but…”
“No buts. The boss has already spoken. Just follow through,” Qin Yue decisively made the decision for her, leaving no room for refusal.
With an unpleasant look on her face, Lu Siyu left the office.
Damn it, she was already in the entertainment industry. Why did this Lu Miao keep haunting her?
If she’s so good at studying, then focus on her studies. Why participate in TV shows and end up on trending topics?
She had already snatched so much from her, and now she wanted to snatch her resources and her manager?
And now, she was even asked to apologize face-to-face. Why wouldn’t this wicked woman just disappear?
A touch of sinister coldness flashed in her eyes, and she sneered, heading straight to her own resting room. 𝙛𝙧𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒆𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢
After closing the door, she took out her phone and dialed a number directly.
The call was quickly answered, and the voice of Gu Xingyu came through,
“Sister Siyu, have you returned to the city? I haven’t seen you for so long.”
“Not yet, I’m still in the capital. I remember you saying that you really like the host of ‘Happy Sunday.’ Today, I happen to be participating in the recording of ‘Happy Sunday.’ The director gave me some tickets. Fly over quickly, and after the show, we can have dinner together and catch up,” Lu Siyu skillfully coaxed.
“That’s great! Thank you, Sister Siyu. I’ll book the nearest flight and fly over right away.”
Lu Siyu smiled and replied, “Great, send me your flight details, and I’ll pick you up.”
After hanging up the phone, she soon received Gu Xingyu’s flight information.
She took a shower and changed her clothes in the resting room, then left the company with the driver to go to the airport as the time drew near.
The final of “Youth Trainee” was live-streamed in the evening.
Lu Miao didn’t need to put on makeup, but as the program producer, Gu Ziheng had a lot of work to do. After dropping her off at the residence, he headed straight to the TV station.
She only needed to arrive at the TV station two hours in advance.
Checking the time, there were still seven hours left before the program started. Lu Miao immediately contacted the CEO , Mr Hai, mentioned by Lin Bufan.
Upon hearing that she had arrived, Mr Hai quickly arranged for someone to pick her up.
In Jing City, Mr Hai was considered quite influential, apart from the four major families.
After giving her address, Lu Miao realized that the general manager’s villa was in the same community as where Gu Ziheng lived.
To avoid any questions about her age, Lu Miao quickly made some simple disguises and left.
The distance between the two villas was not far, and she arrived in five minutes on foot.
Mr Hai and his wife were already waiting at the door, looking quite nervous.
Upon seeing her, they hurriedly welcomed her in.
Lu Miao glanced around. The structure of the villa was the same as Gu Ziheng’s, with three floors: the dining room and maid’s room on the first floor, and the bedrooms on the second and third floors.
There was a faint layer of dust on the floor and furniture, indicating that it hadn’t been inhabited recently.
Without beating around the bush, she asked, “What kind of problem have you encountered?”
Madam Hai got up and poured her a glass of water, swallowing hard before speaking, “For nearly a month, we’ve been hearing the cries of a baby every night. My father-in-law has been so scared that he had to be hospitalized. We’ve invited several masters to take a look, but nothing has worked. We… we are really at a loss.”
Mr Hai added, “Master, as long as you can help us resolve this, we are willing to pay whatever it takes.”
To dispel any doubts about the authenticity of the sound, Madam Hai directly took out a recording pen and pushed it in front of Lu Miao.
Lu Miao pressed the button of the recording pen.
In the recording, there were a few seconds of silence, followed by eerie and creepy cries of a baby gradually approaching.
The crying voice seemed to fluctuate between near and far, as if it was wandering in the air.
The cry lasted for about tens of seconds, then the faint cries suddenly intensified, as if someone had noticed the recording pen and was crying directly towards it.
Madam Hai turned pale upon hearing the recording, trembling, she huddled in a corner of the sofa, tightly holding her husband’s hand.
Mr Hai didn’t look any better, nervously glancing around.
Clearly, they had been frightened during this period.
After giving it some thought, Lu Miao asked, “Besides the crying, have you experienced any other strange occurrences?” Madam Hai struggled to recall for a long time before saying, “None.”
“Where was the recording pen placed?”
Madam Hai pointed to the coffee table in front of them, “All the servants were scared away, and no one has been living here recently. We placed the recording pen here.”
They had received Lin Bufan’s message yesterday, knowing that Lu Miao was coming to Jing City today, so they came here in advance to wait for her.
Lu Miao got up and carefully checked each room on the first, second, and third floors of the house.
When she reached the end of the second floor, she saw a tightly locked door. Turning her head to look at the couple, she asked directly, “What’s in here? Can you open it and let me take a look?”
“It’s a storage room. Let me find the key.” Madam Hai was afraid to go downstairs alone, so she pulled Mr Hai with her as they went downstairs.
Lu Miao looked around. She remembered that Gu Ziheng’s place had a public restroom in the same location on the second floor.
This kind of housing layout should have been planned by the developers when it was purchased, and normal renovations would rarely make any changes, especially to public restrooms, which were essential in any home.
It was strange that the Hai family had turned a public restroom into a storage room, and they even locked it. Such rooms would usually be accessed frequently for tidying up, but theirs had been locked.
While surveying the surroundings, a knocking sound suddenly came from inside the storage room.
Lu Miao reached out and grasped the doorknob, giving it a twist.
Surprisingly, with a creak, the door opened directly..
