Chapter 1791 - 1791 Old Liang Family Residence, Falling Into the Well
1791 Old Liang Family Residence, Falling Into the Well
The hide-and-seek game lasted until 3am. Finally, Du Zhong found Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, and the first day of filming ended happily.
Everyone was having a good time.
After the game ended, everyone relaxed. When everyone was about to return to their rooms to rest, the director counted the number of people. Seeing that Zhou Chengfei was still nowhere to be seen, he was a bit puzzled. “Huh, where’s Chengfei? Why isn’t he back yet?” After a slight pause, he immediately looked at Du Zhong and asked, “Du Zhong, you didn’t find Chengfei?”
As soon as the director mentioned that Zhou Chengfei wasn’t around, Du Zhong immediately replied, “No, Director, I did find him just now. Chengfei also came back with me. He isn’t here?”
Du Zhong felt it was even stranger than Director Huang, okay?
!!
The others didn’t think much of what Du Zhong said, but Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, who had been brainwashed by Qi Hao in the evening, swallowed their saliva in fear and panic. “It can’t be… It can’t be that something really happened to Brother Chengfei, right? Before we came, we investigated this house. Supposedly, many strange things happened here in the past!”
Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s words immediately made the atmosphere tense up, scaring the timid girls such as Xiao Ying, Lu Wenjing and Yun Yiyi.
Their words also touched Song Yanru’s nerves. She hadn’t thought much of it when she was filming the variety show earlier. Now, she glanced around and saw that her manager was the only one around. Master Chi wasn’t around at all. Song Yanru’s nerves tightened and her face changed drastically. Compared with the others, she knew that there really were such harmful things in this world. In other words, it was very likely that something had happened to Zhou Chengfei.
Thinking this, Song Yanru’s limbs turned terribly cold, as if she had been soaked in ice water. The darkness around her seemed to seep into her spine bit by bit, making her feel cold all over. The more Song Yanru thought about it, the paler her face became. The lights here were still bright, but Song Yanru’s face was paler than everyone else’s.
“Sister He, Sister He!” Song Yanru called out to He Liuqing in panic. He Liuqing had been standing beside the director during the game to wait for her.
Seeing Yan Ru’s deathly pale face, He Liuqing thought that she was sick, and hurriedly went over. However, Du Zhong was faster than her. Seeing that Film Empress Song seemed to have been scared out of her wits by Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s words, he hurriedly came over solicitously and advised, “Sister Song, Fang Yu and Ningwen were definitely joking just now. Chengfei must be fine. Besides, how can there be ghosts in this world? Those rumors are meant to be deliberately scary.”
Du Zhong’s words made Song Yanru’s face turn even uglier.
Yun Yiyi and Xiao Ying also reacted at that moment and immediately fawned on Song Yanru. “Sister Song, Du Zhong is right. They’re all rumors. We mustn’t believe them. As for Chengfei, we’ll probably see him in the morning after we’ve slept.”
If one looked carefully at Yun Yiyi and Xiao Ying, they would see some impatience in their eyes. It was already so late, and the two of them didn’t want to waste any more time looking for Zhou Chengfei. They didn’t have the energy, so they might as well go back to their rooms and rest.
If it wasn’t for the fact that cameras were still rolling, their expressions would have changed long ago.
As for whether Zhou Chengfei was fine or not, it had nothing to do with them. Besides, what could happen to an adult like Zhou Chengfei in this big house?
Maybe he had already gone back to her room to rest?
Thinking this, the two of them felt a little resentful of Zhou Chengfei.
He Liuqing’s face couldn’t be considered good or bad when she came over, mainly because of the camera. She didn’t want Du Zhong to get too close. It was too obvious that he was making use of this opportunity to create a stir, okay?
If a scandal were to follow, it would be beneficial to Du Zhong, but it would damage Yanru’s reputation. The losses would outweigh the gains. Fortunately, Yun Yiyi and Xiao Ying’s actions made her relax. With them stepping in, Du Zhong’s actions wouldn’t look too abrupt.
The other guests didn’t like the way Du Zhong grabbed attention, but Director Huang was quite pleased. The production team liked people who could stir things up the most, so he quietly watched everyone’s performances.
Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen looked at each other, not understanding why they had to apologize at all.
In the end, the two still apologized for their slip of the tongue. Song Yan was distracted and wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the others. He Liuqing originally wanted to warn Du Zhong not to steal the limelight too much, but Yanru’s face was really pale at that moment. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with Du Zhong, and found an excuse for her artist to go back to her room first.
Given Song Yanru’s status, it wasn’t good for Director Huang to stop her. Besides, filming for the variety show had already ended tonight, so he immediately and considerately had Song Yanru’s manager send her back to her room.
Yun Yiyi and Xiao Ying were the most envious that Song Yanru could leave, and they got even angrier at Zhou Chengfei.
The two were thinking of an excuse to go back first, when Fang Yu suggested that the girls go back to their rooms first. As for looking for Zhou Chengfei, the guys would look for him together later. Lu Wenjing, who had been silent on the side, heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Fang Yu’s words.
Fang Yu told Du Zhong to think carefully about where he had seen Zhou Chengfei earlier.
As soon as Fang Yu said that, Du Zhong really thought of something. He frowned and suddenly said, “I found Zhou Chengfei in the outermost courtyard just now. He was hiding behind a tree. Wait, there’s a well nearby. Chengfei can’t have fallen into it, right?”
