Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser-Chapter 1800 - Old Liang Family Residence, Du Zhong's Fear
1800 Old Liang Family Residence, Du Zhong’s Fear
It wasn’t until the evening of the next day that someone realized that Xiao Ying had gone missing. They called her and went to her room, but there was no one there. Director Huang was scared out of his wits and even specially contacted Xiao Ying’s manager and agency, but they said that Xiao Ying hadn’t gone back, and was still there filming the variety show.
Xiao Ying had even spoken with her manager on the phone yesterday, and had said that she would go back after filming the show. Director Huang immediately didn’t dare say anything else, let alone mention Xiao Ying’s disappearance. He hurriedly found a few excuses and hung up.
As soon as he hung up, Director Huang immediately gathered everyone in the front yard to ask if anyone had seen Xiao Ying today or last night.
Director Huang felt that it didn’t make sense for Xiao Ying to suddenly disappear!
Because a contract had been signed, Director Huang felt that the chances of Xiao Ying leaving on her own were simply zero.
!!It was impossible for Xiao Ying to be such a willful person.
Last night, when she said that she wasn’t feeling well, Director Huang had let her take time off from filming – there was no reason for Xiao Ying to lose her temper and suddenly leave.
The others were also shocked when they found out that Xiao Ying was suddenly missing, but the ones who were most shocked and in disbelief were Fang Yu and Du Zhong.
Fang Yu had just seen Xiao Ying last night, and suddenly she was missing today; this was simply too unexpected. He subconsciously looked in Zhou Chengfei’s direction, and his pupils contracted. Zhou Chengfei was the first to speak. “Director Huang, Xiao Ying came to see me at around 8:30 last night. It just so happened that Fang Yu was also there!”
As soon as Zhou Chengfei said that, everyone’s eyes fell on him and Fang Yu, and Fang Yu could only nod in the end.
Zhou Chengfei continued, “She didn’t say much to me. She just said that this place is a bit boring!”
Director Huang stared intently at Zhou Chengfei, not knowing whether to believe him or not. Could it be that Xiao Ying had really found this place too boring and had left first?
He still instinctively trusted that Xiao Ying and her agency understood the rules of this business. In addition, everyone had signed contracts to be here. The penalty fee for breaching the contract was very high. No matter how willful Xiao Ying was, she should know how serious it was to breach the contract.
Moreover, he had said a few words to Xiao Ying through the door last night, and she had sounded very normal. The other party should have been in her room last night, so had she suddenly disappeared during the day?
A thought flashed through Director Huang’s mind, and he immediately asked Zhou Chengfei, “Did you see Xiao Ying again today? Did she say anything else?”
Zhou Chengfei shook his head and also said that the other party hadn’t said anything else
Director Huang didn’t know about their private relationship and didn’t think much of it. He nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. It would soon be time to film the show again in the evening, and there was one less person. Director Huang panicked. He felt that it wasn’t nice to ask everyone to look for Xiao Ying, but he would also feel bad if they didn’t.
He Liuqing seemed to know what he was thinking and suddenly said at that moment, “Director Huang, it’ll be time to film soon. I think everyone is tired and doesn’t have the energy right now. Why don’t we let everyone go back and rest first? It’s useless for everyone to be anxious about Xiao Ying. This town is so big; we won’t be able to find her at all. We might as well go back and wait. Xiao Ying might suddenly come back. Besides, how can an adult like her go missing?”
He Liuqing’s tone was especially indifferent and unconcerned. In short, as long as nothing happened to her own artiste, she couldn’t be bothered to worry about anyone else. With one less person to film, Yanru might get more scenes. If Xiao Ying wanted to court death herself, He Liuqing was happy to just watch the show.
After what He Liuqing said, it really wouldn’t be good for Director Huang to get everyone to help look for her, so he could only let them go back and rest first. He just hoped that Xiao Ying might come back later on her own.
Director Huang could only tell everyone to disperse and go back to their rooms to rest.
He Liuqing didn’t tell Song Yanru about Xiao Ying’s disappearance. In He Liuqing’s heart, Xiao Ying wasn’t important, so it was better not to disturb Yanru. Moreover, Yanru had always been kind-hearted.
Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were fine, but it was as if Du Zhong had heard a death warrant. His face changed drastically in anxiety and fear, and he forced a stiff smile and found an excuse to quickly return to his room.
After returning to his room, he dialed his manager’s number again. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get through. Du Zhong was so angry that he almost smashed his phone on the floor. He gritted his teeth and dialed again until the call went through.
As soon as the call was picked up, Du Zhong immediately asked his manager if he was coming to pick him up, and if he had discussed the compensation for breaching the contract with the production team.
In short, he had to leave today.
The more Du Zhong thought about how ‘Zhou Chengfei’ had looked at him just now, the more he felt that Xiao Ying’s disappearance was most likely related to Zhou Chengfei.
The others didn’t know about their private relationship, but he did. Moreover, Xiao Ying had gone missing after looking for Zhou Chengfei last night. He didn’t believe that the other party’s disappearance had nothing to do with Zhou Chengfei at all. Zhou Chengfei was no longer human at all. Fang Yu might not be human anymore either.
The more Du Zhong thought about it, the more terrified he became. Without waiting for his manager to speak first, he said in a commanding and anxious tone, “Brother Huang, I’ll pay whatever penalty the production team wants. I’m leaving here by the end of today. Are you almost here? Hurry and pick me up. If you don’t, I’ll die. I’ll really die. Xiao Ying is already dead. Maybe it’ll be my turn next. By the way, that Zhou guy isn’t human. He looked at me just now and might want to harm me tonight! Brother Huang, I beg you, hurry and pick me up! This place is too strange and creepy. I don’t want to film anymore!”
