There was an incident during the variety show recording, most of which are usually related to on-site accidents, but this one was clearly different.
Chu Ruochun and Bai Yichen walked around the scene and its surroundings.
“Do you smell anything?” Chu Ruochun asked Bai Yichen.
“I smell a bloody and foul odor,” Bai Yichen replied.
“Can you tell if it’s some kind of monster?” Chu Ruochun picked up a piece of clothing debris that had been blown apart on the ground.
“What exactly is He Jun’s background?” Bai Yichen asked him. “If he’s a monster, I’m sure I could smell it. The problem is, he’s just a human. What could he have done?”
“It’s hard to say. His whole body was blown apart except for one arm, and that arm was missing. That’s quite strange,” Chu Ruochun walked behind the curtain.
The curtain was covered in blood, and anyone who saw it wouldn’t dare to sleep for several days and nights.
Chu Ruochun asked Jiang Yu’an, “Is He Jun still living in the company dormitory?”
Jiang Yu’an didn’t understand why he suddenly asked about He Jun. “Why, do you have something to do with him?”
“You’ll understand when you see him,” Chu Ruochun replied.
“He’s been at the recording site for three variety shows. Is it because of this?” Jiang Yu’an’s mind was still relatively clear. “Wait here for a moment. I’ll call his current manager and ask where he is.”
A few minutes later, Jiang Yu’an got back to Chu Ruochun.
“His manager said he went to the police station in the morning to make a statement. There shouldn’t be any issues, and he left. We still haven’t been able to reach him. This guy can’t seem to catch a break. The company is already considering giving up on promoting him.”
Chu Ruochun wasn’t very interested in the company’s plans. He watched the recording video of the scene again and asked Jiang Yu’an, “Is the arm left behind the right or left hand?”
Jiang Yu’an replied, “It should be the right hand. Yuan Tian used his custom-made microphone, and I remember that clearly when I was at the scene.”
Chu Ruochun asked, “Are you familiar with him?”
Jiang Yu’an said, “Not really. We’ve had a few meals together. He’s got his quirks, and he can be a bit arrogant. But that’s because his online albums have been selling well in the past two years, and he’s been getting more commercial gigs. He’s become popular and started acting a bit senior, but he hasn’t done anything too outrageous.”
Chu Ruochun inquired, “What about his friends?”
Jiang Yu’an replied, “I don’t know about that.”
Chu Ruochun nodded.
Jiang Yu’an was quite puzzled by the questions Chu Ruochun was asking. It seemed too similar to what the police would ask. Wasn’t he a fortune teller? Shouldn’t he be predicting the future rather than asking about past events and consequences?
But considering the recent rumors in the entertainment industry, Jiang Yu’an decided not to offend anyone and didn’t show his confusion.
Chu Ruochun said, “Finding that arm will reveal the key to the problem.”
Jiang Yu’an asked, “Isn’t that arm all that’s left of the deceased’s body?”
Chu Ruochun replied, “Yes, it’s the body of the deceased, but it’s not his body.”
Just as they were talking, several police officers arrived at the scene with professional equipment for a secondary site inspection.
The leading police officer saw several people walking around and immediately said sternly, “Who are you? Don’t you know that you can’t enter the crime scene at will? Leave immediately!”
In fact, Jiang Yu’an and the others were all standing on the outskirts, and no one had approached the interior of the scene except for Chu Ruochun and Bai Yichen.
Jiang Yu’an approached the police officer and said, “Officer, you see, I thought we had already taken photos of the scene for evidence yesterday. I just invited a master to perform a ritual to pray for peace.”
The police officer asked, “Who is that? Why did you run inside? And why did you bring a dog?”
Bai Yichen whispered in a voice that only Chu Ruochun and him could hear, “Me, a dog? How do I look like a dog?”
Jiang Yu’an almost laughed but went forward to explain, “Officer, I’m sorry. My friend wanted to perform a ritual for the deceased. That’s not a dog; it’s a fox.”
The police officer was taken aback.
Chu Ruochun and Bai Yichen approached the police officer.
The police officer looked at them, his eyes widening. “It’s Mr. Chu!”
Chu Ruochun smiled and said, “Hello, Deputy Captain Wang. We meet again.”
Deputy Captain Wang was quite moved to see him. He had been under a lot of pressure last night due to the explosion, the lack of a body, and the disappearance of the last arm. He had been scolded by his superiors because of this.
So, when he saw Chu Ruochun, it was like seeing a ray of hope.
As a public servant, he knew he shouldn’t indulge in superstitions too often, but hadn’t he seen Chu Ruochun’s extraordinary abilities before?
Deputy Captain Wang said, “Mr. Chu, can we have a word?”
Chu Ruochun nodded, “Sure.”
Deputy Captain Wang tried his best not to show his excitement on his face.
The two of them walked to the side.
Deputy Captain Wang sighed and said, “Mr. Chu, you have no idea how bizarre this case is. It involves a celebrity, and when I received this case, I felt overwhelmed.”
Chu Ruochun listened attentively and replied, “You’ve been through a lot.”
Deputy Captain Wang got back to the point, “Speaking of which, why are you here?”
Chu Ruochun explained, “Our company’s boss is a friend of the celebrity’s company boss, so they asked me to come and take a look.”
Deputy Captain Wang asked, “Did you find anything? Is it just a regular case?”
He meant that a non-regular case would be a supernatural event, while a regular case would be a conventional human-made case.
Chu Ruochun said, “It should be a human-made case, but it might involve some unconventional methods. By the way, did you have any results from the last case at the villa?”
Deputy Captain Wang adjusted his police cap and replied, “Not yet. It’s almost becoming a cold case.”
Chu Ruochun suggested, “I recommend that you consider consolidating the cases.”
In fact, including Jiang Qiao’s case, all these cases could be consolidated. However, Jiang Qiao’s case had already been closed, and Chu Ruochun didn’t want to burden them with more. From a metaphysical perspective, the instigator behind all these cases should be the same person.
Returning for revenge after two years of being deceased was too long and didn’t make sense. There had to be someone manipulating things behind the scenes.
Deputy Captain Wang responded, “Consolidating the cases? Captain Zhang is in charge of that other case. I’ll talk to him about it later. By the way, did you find anything significant at the scene just now?”
Chu Ruochun told him, “I’ve already said everything.”
Deputy Captain Wang exclaimed, “Ah?”
What had he just said? Had he missed some crucial information?
Indeed, a master was a master. Every word he said contained hidden meanings that ordinary people couldn’t grasp.
Chu Ruochun didn’t want to make it difficult for Deputy Captain Wang and his team, and he had already gained what he needed here. So he left with Bai Yichen.
Before leaving, Bai Yichen deliberately passed by Deputy Captain Wang and playfully stomped on his foot!
“You’re the dog!” he muttered under his breath.
Deputy Captain Wang: “Ouch!”
This chubby fox could make his foot hurt even through shoes. He was really well-fed!
As they returned to their car, Chu Ruochun asked Bai Yichen, “Guess what Deputy Captain Wang was thinking when you stepped on his foot just now?”
Bai Yichen responded, “What else could he be thinking? Probably something about how this fox stomped on me.”
Chu Ruochun said, “He said you’re too fat.”
Bai Yichen: “…”
After Jiang Yu’an got into the car, the two of them stopped talking.
At that moment, Yang Ran suddenly sent Chu Ruochun a screenshot. He knew Chu Ruochun’s personality when it came to gossip – he wouldn’t be bothered unless it was something important.
The screenshot was about a hot topic that had suddenly surged on social media, and it had captured Chu Ruochun’s attention.
[Shocking! Netizens captured a video of the celebrity Feng Qi jumping from a twenty-story building and landing unharmed! The talent agency’s response: Feng Qi is filming a new movie, and details will not be disclosed for now.]
Chu Ruochun opened Weibo, and the top trending topic was exactly this.
#FengQiJumps#
The comments below mostly believed that Feng Qi was doing this for a movie.
㇐Is this video fake, or is it a green screen composition? How can someone jump from the twentieth floor and be unharmed? Even people with special abilities aren’t this extraordinary.
㇐Promoting a new movie, right?
㇐Feng ge is amazing!
㇐I must support Feng Ge’s movie!
㇐ I just want to know when it’s going to be released.
Chu Ruochun tried calling Feng Qi, but he didn’t answer. He then sent a WeChat message but still got no response. So, he called Yang Wenxin.
Yang Wenxin gave him an address, which was their current location.
Over the phone, Yang Wenxin told Chu Ruochun that after Feng Qi woke up, he seemed to act as if he didn’t recognize them as his parents and his behavior left them puzzled.
As soon as they left Chu Ruochun’s house, Feng Qi quickly found a vengeful spirit in an alley.
For a vengeful spirit, Feng Qi was like a treasure trove.
However, today’s Feng Qi had learned Daoist techniques on his own, and he directly dispersed the vengeful spirit with his techniques. His energy seemed endless as he dealt with the first one and then chased after another. He hadn’t slept all night.
The video captured by netizens had no issues. Feng Qi had indeed jumped from the twentieth floor, with the married couple following closely behind him, nearly scared to death!
They had managed to catch up to him with great difficulty, and Feng Qi had subsequently collapsed. Then, the couple immediately took him to the hospital.
Once Bai Yichen returned to his human form, there were no obstacles in locating Feng Qi with him around.
When Chu Ruochun arrived at the hospital, Feng Qi’s manager, Gao Xuesheng, was questioning him about the video.
“There’s nothing to it,” Feng Qi replied without explaining further.
“I’m not blind. It’s clearly you in the video. How did you jump from the twentieth floor? Did you accept another movie script?” Gao Xuesheng doubted.
“Can you leave for a moment?” Feng Qi said abruptly.
Gao Xuesheng was about to complain that Feng Qi hadn’t answered his question yet when the hospital room’s door swung open.
Chu Ruochun and Bai Yichen entered.
Chu Ruochun’s first words were, “You’re recovering well.”
It had been half an hour since Gao Xuesheng entered the room, and he hadn’t seen a smile on Feng Qi’s face. But now, he noticed that Feng Qi’s lips were curved up!
How could he differentiate his treatment like this?
Well, the newcomer was his rumored romantic interest.
“I’m alright. Just feeling a bit uncomfortable,” Feng Qi said, his gaze fixed on Chu Ruochun.
Gao Xuesheng sensed that Feng Qi had genuine feelings for Chu Ruochun, and alarm bells rang in his head.
“This is the first time, and it already slowed down.”
“When is the next treatment?”
“It depends on your body’s condition. If you can handle it, it will be in three days. If you feel it’s too much, then it will be in seven days.”
Gao Xuesheng: “This is the first time!”
Wait.
“What kind of treatment is this? What illness do you have?” Gao Xuesheng inquired.
Feng Qi replied, “It’s a disease that I won’t survive past thirty without treatment.”
Gao Xuesheng began to think about the recent rumors surrounding Chu Ruochun in the entertainment industry. He knew Feng Qi’s parents and had some belief in Feng family superstitions.
“Is it real?” Gao Xuesheng thought about Feng Qi’s parents, who had just returned to the hotel to rest.
“It’s real.”
Chu Ruochun approached Feng Qi and said, “Let me check your pulse. Your spiritual energy expanded too rapidly. I hope it won’t lead to overexertion and harm you.”
Gao Xuesheng stepped aside to let Chu Ruochun take his place. He said, “I’ll go get you some water. Xiao Bai, do you want some water?”
Bai Yichen was still fixated on Chu Ruochun’s teasing about his true form of being overweight. He replied, “No, it makes you fat!”
At that moment, Feng Qi extended his hand to Chu Ruochun, who placed his fingers on Feng Qi’s pulse. Before he could sense anything, his wrist was grabbed by Feng Qi, who chuckled and said, “Little Taoist, I ask you, who are you?”
