Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 275 - 248: Xue Xing’s True Identity

"You finally appeared."

A voice both familiar and strange to the entertainers emerged.

The crowd instinctively turned towards the voice. In the darkness, a figure walked towards them, flickering in and out of view.

What puzzled them wasn’t just the person’s identity but also the utterly incomprehensible words he spoke.

What did he mean by "finally appeared"?

It was as if he’d been waiting for someone all along.

But here... the only one who hadn’t appeared seemed to be the ghost woman before them.

It couldn’t be that he was waiting for the ghost to appear, could it?

The thought that instinctively popped into their minds seemed absurd.

As the person approached, his features gradually became clear to the crowd. Someone gasped, as if suddenly realizing something, raised an arm, and pointed at the man, shouting, "Aren’t you Jiang Ci’s assistant?"

With her shout, others finally matched the familiar face before them with a somewhat unfamiliar name in their memories.

"I remember you."

For Qu Siya, who secretly admired Jiang Ci, the people around him naturally received significant attention.

So when she saw Xue Xing, she had already recognized him.

But having recognized him, there was still something she couldn’t figure out.

"Why are you here?"

"Are you here to find Jiang Ci?"

Otherwise, there was no other explanation.

On second thought, it made sense. As an assistant, he would come to find his artist.

But what did he mean by that sentence he just said?

A series of questions, none of which were answered.

Xue Xing, under the eyes of the crowd, abandoned his usual humble and polite demeanor, didn’t even glance at them, and walked straight past as if he didn’t see them at all.

"Hey?"

Qin Long reached out a hand, attempting to call him back.

But seeing the man enter the courtyard, he stopped. He didn’t want to do anything that might attract the ghost’s attention.

Afraid he’d become its next target.

Especially now, Xue Xing seemed extremely peculiar.

Mu Yunchu had been waiting for this person, which is why she hadn’t spoken for so long. Now that the man was out, she remained silent and merely observed quietly.

Xue Xing looked at the ghost floating in the air as if gazing at a beloved, and the deep love in his pupils seemed about to overflow.

"I’ve waited a long time for you."

It was still an unintelligible phrase to the crowd.

It was like he’d known the ghost was here and had come specifically to find her.

Yet, no matter what he said, the ghost’s attitude remained cold. Her pitch-black pupils were full of indifference and frost.

Just like when she looked at them, there was no difference.

"Don’t move forward any further, it’s dangerous."

Xue Xing ignored the pleading words to stop him and kept walking toward the ghost with unwavering determination.

He only stopped when he was about three meters from her.

"Who are you?" The ghost looked at him, slightly furrowing her brows.

It seemed like she was ready to act if he took another step.

"It seems you really don’t remember me."

Xue Xing’s expression looked deeply hurt as he pitifully gazed at the ghost. "Even though I anticipated this outcome, I didn’t expect that facing it would be this painful."

He clutched at his heart, mumbling to himself.

The crowd was now completely sure that Xue Xing definitely knew this ghost.

But how they knew each other was a mystery to them.

While they were engrossed, Mu Yunchu, who almost forgot her presence, suddenly spoke up.

"The incident of Jiang Ci appearing in the coffin, was that your doing?"

Qu Siya: !!!

Her gaze towards Xue Xing was now filled with rage.

Especially after Xue Xing’s silent admission, the rest were utterly baffled.

"Why did you do it?"

This incident didn’t just harm Jiang Ci, but it also affected the entire production team’s interests. That’s why everyone kept silent about it, almost hindering the show’s continuation.

The director was furious upon realizing the culprit was right in front of them.

Annoyed, Xue Xing turned slightly away from their questions.

On the other hand, Mu Yunchu voluntarily answered for him, "I think you did it to draw her out."

She nodded in the direction of the ghost.

She had already felt something off when she heard the cab driver talk about all the haunted legends of the town during her ride.

Typically, if a place had that many unsettling spirits and stirred up so much noise online, the 749 Bureau wouldn’t leave it alone.

Especially when some of those legends came close to causing harm.

"Yet nothing accidental happened throughout all these years of hauntings, which is not normal."

The crowd listened to her, becoming incredibly attentive without realizing it.

Even though they didn’t know how she was so knowledgeable, it resolved their confusion.

"The only explanation is that it’s all man-made."

"Are all these years’ haunted rumors in the town fake?"

Qu Siya sighed softly.

The longstanding ghost rumors were man-made, yet here they stood, facing a real ghost.

"They’re fake."

Mu Yunchu had already checked out those alleged haunted spots while coming to find Jiang Ci.

"Whether it’s the water ghost looking for a substitute, or the mysterious opera singing at the stage."

These were things they had personally encountered.

"Forget the opera singing." A male entertainer stepped forward, "But the water ghost incident, I truly experienced it."

Mu Yunchu said, "Those were just mechanisms."

No one had seen that so-called water ghost with their own eyes.

Most only saw shadows in the water and felt a strong grip.

These things can be created if one wishes.

Because when frightened, people tend to overlook certain details significantly.

Look closely at those rumors; when these incidents occurred, it mostly involved a single person or two or three.

"What did he gain from turning the town into a hotbed of ghost legends? Does he have a grudge against the town’s owner?"

Unknowingly, their trust in Mu Yunchu had grown significantly.

Mu Yunchu slowly shook her head, revealing a shocking truth.

"On the contrary, he is actually the owner of this town."

Director: !!!

"Impossible!"

"He, he, how could he possibly be the owner of this town?"

The town’s underlying value exceeds billions.

If Xue Xing had such wealth, why would he work as Jiang Ci’s assistant?

Finally, at those words, Xue Xing looked directly at them.

Scanning each one, his gaze ultimately fell on Mu Yunchu.

"It seems you are indeed extraordinary."

"When Jiang Ci brought you here, I knew you had a purpose in coming."
