Chapter 446: Ghost Claw, Zhou Manqing’s Fear

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Rong was a little surprised. She had been worried in the beginning when Manqing ran into evil. Just in case, she had gotten someone to go to the temple to ask for a talisman, but Manqing hadn’t taken it seriously at that time.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly asked for it. Yu Rong was also glad that she hadn’t thrown the talisman away, but kept it in her bag. She took out a yellow paper talisman from her bag and handed it to Zhou Manqing as she said, “Manqing, I got someone to get this talisman from that Longguang Temple, which has the most incense offerings in the capital. Carry it with you. It’ll definitely be fine!”

When Zhou Manqing received the yellow paper talisman and heard Yu Rong’s words, her expression finally relaxed. However, when they took the elevator later, her gaze kept straying to her left shoulder. Only after confirming that there really was nothing on her left shoulder did Zhou Manqing heave a sigh of relief.

As Zhou Manqing’s manager, Yu Rong stayed in the adjourning room, which reassured Zhou Manqing.

When Zhou Manqing returned to the hotel suite, she took a shower first as usual before she did her skincare routine.

Zhou Manqing didn’t forget to bring the talisman in with her when she showered. In the shower, Zhou Manqing forgot about what happened in the elevator. Thinking about how heavy filming had been over the last few days, she became even more dissatisfied with Director Li. Why did she have to do all the scenes herself? If she hired a body double, it wasn’t like Director Li would be the one paying for it.

Why did Director Li care so much about the details? She had originally wanted to look for a sex friend, and was quite interested in Xie Mingxuan. Although he wasn’t as attractive as the soft and fresh kids nowadays, his face was strong, masculine, and handsome. He exuded the charm of a mature man that was very attractive. He also had an imposing aura. He couldn’t compare with President Qi of Qi Corporation, but he wasn’t bad either.

Moreover, it was said that Xie Mingxuan was an unromantic person who was only obsessed with acting. He was only interested in acting and had no interest in women. Zhou Manqing liked men who were a challenge. It only felt good when she conquered them and played with them.

Initially, Zhou Manqing thought that she would be able to break through the other party’s defenses in a few days with just a crook of her finger. Who would have thought that what people said about Xie Mingxuan was true; he was a tough nut to crack. Thinking up to this point, Zhou Manqing couldn’t help but feel a little angry. It was one thing not to be able to curry favor with President Qi, but Xie Mingxuan?

Zhou Manqing was thinking of ways to deal with the other party, when the bathroom light suddenly flickered.

Zhou Manqing didn’t think much of it at first, and assumed it was a problem with the hotel’s circuits. Zhou Manqing frowned and realized that the water had suddenly stopped.

Zhou Manqing’s expression turned even uglier. What kind of rubbish hotel was this?

She picked up a towel to wipe her face and body, then groped around for her phone on the bathroom counter outside to call her manager.

Faintly, she heard the sound of the door opening. At first, Zhou Manqing thought it was her manager. She called out a few times, “Sister Yu!” However, there was no reply.

There was only the sound of footsteps.

Zhou Manqing’s face stiffened. She did her best to suppress her trembling heart, and she shouted again, “Sister Yu!”

The only reply she got was knocking on the bathroom door.

Zhou Manqing didn’t know why, but when she heard the knocking, she became even more frightened and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Her uneasy heart grew heavier and her legs couldn’t move, as if they were filled with lead.

Zhou Manqing thought of the talisman which Yu Rong had given to her earlier, and hurriedly held it in a death grip. It would be fine, it would be fine.

She had the talisman.

Zhou Manqing felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder. She subconsciously took a look, and saw five bloody claw marks on her fair, round shoulder.
