Chapter 227: A Voluntary Sacrifice
Translator: Zayn_
After Zhu Jiao finished filming, she would not stay in the hotel or nearby unless the production team had a dinner party.
Song Qingyou knew this, so she sent someone to follow her to see where she would go at night.
Unexpectedly, after two to three days, He Jun had not sent any news.
Song Qingyou came back from the theater and wrote some new content for her new book. Then she checked Zhu Jiao’s bank account to see her financial situation.
She didn’t expect that he would really find something.
Song Qingyou clicked her tongue. Seeing the cat jump onto the table, she quickly carried him down.
“Zhizhi, don’t touch it.”
Jiang Zhihan meowed and glanced at the name on the screen and the information Song Qingyou had recorded.
Shao Zhixing, one of the investors of Murder of the Rose.
There was also a record of his recent itinerary, which included a certain hotel.
Song Qingyou sent the information to He Jun.
He Jun quickly replied:
[ CEO Song is so capable; would you consider job-hopping?]
It was obviously a teasing tone.
Although the two of them had only met a few times, this did not prevent them from becoming more and more familiar with each other.
Song Qingyou, [Jumping from an artist to a paparazzi?]
Song Qingyou: [If 1 agree, what kind of treatment will 1 get?]
He Jun said: [The company is yours. We all work for you.]
[ Not interested.]
He Jun’s company wasn’t small, but it couldn’t be put on the surface[l].
If it weren’t for the fact that the industry was special and many things couldn’t be done without these internet pushers, Song Qingyou might not have cooperated with them.
The next morning.
Jiang Zhihan keenly sensed that Song Qingyou’s mood wasn’t right.
After she received a call in the morning, she had hugged him and refused to let go. She had even been touching his head repeatedly.
No matter how he thought about it, Song Qingyou seemed nervous.
Jiang Zhihan was puzzled.
It wasn’t until Chen Lan drove over to pick Song Qingyou up and told her that they were going to another filming location that day. That location had a large artificial lake. That was when Jiang Zhihan realized what the problem was.
Song Qingyou was filming a scene in the water today!
Jiang Zhihan suddenly remembered the time when Song Qingyou was in danger on that uninhabited island during that reality show. His entire cat’s hair stood on end.
Luo Hongqing had just approached when he saw the cat’s fur stand on end. He asked in surprise, “Qingyou, you cat… What’s going on?”
“Don’t tell me it was scared by the director’s looks?”
Fu Chen, who was standing at the side, boldly asked what everyone else was thinking.
“Not to that extent.” Song Qingyou’s lips curved.
“How would a cat know if a person looks fierce? Their aesthetics are different.”
Luo Hongqing shook his head and immediately got down to business, “I’m going to shoot the scene where you fall into the water later. It shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
“I heard from my assistant that when you participated in the variety show, you even saved someone from a tsunami. You should be pretty good at swimming.”
Song Qingyou didn’t respond.
She tightened her grip on the cat silently.
Jiang Zhihan had already calmed down.
He looked up at Song Qingyou’s face. “Meow!”
‘These people don’t know that you’re afraid of water!’
Why didn’t she tell these people the truth?
However, no matter how much he meowed, it was useless. Song Qingyou couldn’t understand cat language.
She thought that her cat had sensed her emotions because of the extra mewing.
“Don’t worry, Zhizhi.”
When she put the cat down, Song Qingyou comforted him in a low voice.
When Jiang Zhihan saw that she was really going to shoot this scene in the water, he didn’t hesitate to hook her clothes with his claws.
“Meow-”
‘Don’t go:
When Jiang Zhihan thought about Song Qingyou jumping into the lake, he wanted to turn into a living person and pull her back.
However, he was still a cat and could not stop it.
Song Qingyou thought that he was just playing with her. “Zhizhi, be good. Stop fooling around.”
Her tone was as if she was coaxing a child. It was simply too obvious.
“Song Qingyou, get ready!”
Luo Hongqing stood by the lake and shouted. Jiang Zhihan didn’t want Song Qingyou to be scolded, so he let go.
“Why is Zhizhi suddenly so reluctant to part with Qingyou today?” Chen Lan laughed. “Are you afraid of water?”
Jiang Zhihan couldn’t argue with her. His emerald eyes followed Song Qingyou closely.
The scene they were going to shoot today was the scene where Zhu Jiao, the only surviving victim, would appear.
At this time, the culprit, who was referred to by the officials as “Rose”, had already killed several people in a row.
Her methods were all replicas of the serial murders from more than ten years ago. The only difference was that after Rose killed someone, there was a blooming rose in the victim’s mouth.
The male and female leads did not realize that there was a mentor behind Rose.
Zhu Jiao played the role of a survivor, a delinquent girl who had witnessed the figures of Grey and Rose. She let others know the existence of Grey and promoted the subsequent development of the plot.
Shen Huan wanted to silence her, but because she underestimated her enemy, she was tricked by a bad girl who was familiar with the surrounding environment and fell into the lake. She even let the other party escape.
In the end, Grey rescued her.
Considering the difficulty of the scene where she fell into the water, Luo Hongqing first filmed the scene where the Grey rescued Shen Huan.
The sunlight outside the window was just nice.
Shen Huan was woken up by the chirping of the birds and opened her eyes.
She immediately checked the environment in the room and touched the mask on her face that had not been compromised. She sat up without hesitation and wanted to leave this unknown place.
However, just as she was about to put on her shoes, Grey’s hoarse voice appeared.
“The owner of the house has been overseas for many years. It’s very safe here.”
Shen Huan raised her head, her mask hiding her complicated expression.
“Why are you helping me?” she asked, not in a hurry to put on her shoes.
She had wanted to ask the man in front of her this question for a long time.
She thought that he was just looking for fun, so he followed her and taught her.
“If you wanted to kill me, you could have done it last night.”
“Indeed.” Grey didn’t continue to answer. Instead, he sat down.
On the table in front of him was a chess board.
Shen Huan walked over and sat opposite him. She picked up the black chess piece representing the king and said, “If I’m destined to become a chess piece…
“Then I’ll be the King who decides the outcome.”
[ Je veux la gloirea ines genoux.] [2]
Grey tilted his head and picked up the chess piece beside it.
“Then I’m the Queen.”
Shen Huan was stunned. She did not expect such an answer.
In her eyes, Grey should be the chess player.
Shen Huan suppressed her thoughts. “In chess, the strongest chess piece is indeed Queen, but it’s also the chess piece that’s the easiest to be eaten.”
Grey didn’t react.
After a long while, he said, “It’s not about being eaten, it’s about voluntary sacrifice.”
He was willing to sacrifice himself for the king.
Shen Huan looked into his black and white eyes. There were many emotions that she could not understand. They were like a thousand-foot-deep pool, dark and dim. If she was not careful, she would fall into the abyss.
“I’m leaving.”
Shen Huan avoided his gaze and left in a hurry.
When Luo Hongqing shouted “cut”, Yu Muhuai was still sitting in front of the chessboard, as if he was lost in character.
