Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 541 - Master Chi, Wheres Manqing?

Chapter 541: Master Chi, Where’s Manqing?

Yu Rong hadn’t noticed earlier, but this time, she noticed that Master Chi had said “Zhou Manning” and not “Zhou Manqing.” For some reason, Yu Rong suddenly thought of how she had said, “You’re not Manqing?” and “Manqing’s” face had stiffened. If that woman really wasn’t Manqing all this time… Yu Rong’s face changed drastically and she squeezed out the words, “Master Chi, are you saying Manqing, no, Zhou Manning wants to kill me to silence me? She isn’t Manqing at all, but Manqing’s twin, Zhou Manning?”

It wasn’t difficult to talk to smart people. Seeing how Chi Shuyan remained silent, Yu Rong’s heart sank even more. To be honest, she rarely had any personal dealings with “Manqing” in the past. The two of them just had a work relationship. When she was with “Manqing,” however, there were still some subtle habits and details that weren’t the same. “Manqing” would be a bit strange every now and then, but Yu Rong didn’t think much of it before; she never thought that “Manqing” might have been replaced.

But the more Yu Rong thought about her past interactions with “Manqing,” the more apprehensive and convinced she was. It was just that she still couldn’t believe it. “Master Chi, how… is that possible? What about Manqing?”

Chi Shuyan thought of Zhou Manqing’s tragic state. After a moment of silence, she said, “What do you think?”

Yu Rong was scared witless when she heard these words. She had a vague, terrifying and absurd guess in her head, but the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

Seeing that Yu Rong still refused to acknowledge reality, Chi Shuyan shattered her fantasy. “Zhou Manqing is indeed dead! She died at the hands of her biological sister, Zhou Manning!”

After saying this, Chi Shuyan was glad that Yu Rong had chosen a windowless spot. There were very few people in the cafe, so she didn’t have to keep her guard up.

She really hadn’t planned to tell Yu Rong about Zhou Manning’s true identity. After all, Yu Rong was someone close to Zhou Manning, and it was easy for her to alert the enemy. However, if Chi Shyan didn’t make herself clear now, Yu Rong probably wouldn’t guard against Zhou Manning and would still die. She might as well tell Yu Rong directly.

Yu Rong was so scared by Chi Shuyan’s light words that her vision turned black and her defenses were completely shattered. Yu Rong’s face was as pale as paper, and the veins on her neck bulged in agitation. “How is this possible? How is this possible?”

Even as she said the words, the tears that had just stopped fell again. After all, she had known Zhou Manqing for so many years. Now that she knew that Manqing was dead, how could Yu Rong accept it? She couldn’t accept that she had been by the side of such a vicious murderer for so many years. Just thinking about it scared her witless.

No wonder, no wonder. Originally, Manqing was very good at singing and acting. Three years ago, Yu Rong had wanted “Manqing” to release an album. At that time, “Manqing,” – no, it should be Zhou Manning – had found countless excuses not to, saying that she just wanted to act and that her throat was uncomfortable.

There was once when she happened to drink hot water during a singing audition and scalded her throat. Later on, when “Manqing” went on to act, every director told Yu Rong it was strange; when “Zhou Manqing” first debuted, her acting skills were pretty good. Why did they suddenly disappear?

At first, Yu Rong thought that “Manqing” was under too much pressure. Later on, “Manqing’s” acting got worse and worse, to the point that Yu Rong no longer found it strange. For a while, it made sense that “Manqing” would become increasingly bad-tempered.

But she never thought that Zhou Manning would be so bold as to not only harm Manqing, but also claim her career and her man for her own. Thinking this, Yu Rong gritted her teeth in hatred and choked out, “Master Chi, she really isn’t Manqing!
