1802 Old Liang Family Residence, He Liuqing Chooses

Soon, it was time for the filming at night. Today, they were playing a game of “one, two, three wooden men.” Unlike how the previous game of hide-and-seek ended, the loser this time would pick a way to die, and then demonstrate this method in their room and record it before posting it on Weibo as proof.

After hearing Director Huang explain the process, everyone heaved sighs of relief inwardly. As for the draw at the end, no one was worried. Instead, they were a little intrigued and wanted to give it a try.

Because of Xiao Ying’s disappearance, however, no one was as excited and happy as they had been last night, and they spoke very little.

The game went on for three hours, and no one expected Song Yanru to lose in the end.

Song Yanru didn’t expect to lose.

As for picking one way to die, Song Yanru was fine with that – as long as she didn’t have to go out and do something scary in the middle of the night, it was fine. As for whether or not she would do what she picked, that was another matter.

Moreover, seeing how they had been playing light games like these so far and not something too scary in the middle of the night, Song Yanru’s gloom at coming to the old Liang family residence was mostly lifted.

When Director Huang placed several golden eggs on the table and told Song Yanru to choose one, people paid attention to her because of her status, like Yun Yiyi. Conversely, Du Zhong, who was normally the most attentive, watched Zhou Chengfei vigilantly and didn’t say anything.

But Song Yanru didn’t ask anyone else to replace her or help her; it wouldn’t be good for her reputation or her character to ask someone to help her with such a small and simple matter.

It was just that Song Yanru didn’t expect Master Chi, who had been silent all this time, to suddenly come over and suggest, “Why don’t we pick an egg during the day?”

Ever since the incident at Dashan Village, Song Yanru listened to Master Chi a lot. When she heard Master Chi say that, she thought that Master Chi had sensed that something was amiss. Her heart thumped and her face turned much paler. She immediately turned Director Huang down and said that she would pick in the morning.

Director Huang was a little reluctant and indicated that this pick was part of the filming today. Given Song Yanru’s reputation, however, he could take a step back and let the punishment be revealed during the day instead.

Director Huang sounded convincing, but Song Yanru still looked at Master Chi worriedly and saw her shake her head.

Song Yanru naturally trusted Master Chi. She immediately ignored Director Huang’s words and repeatedly insisted that she pick an egg tomorrow.

Seeing that it was a rare opportunity to curry favor with Film Empress Song, Yun Yiyi was about to immediately say that she would help, when He Liuqing, who had long been dissatisfied, glared fiercely at Chi Shuyan, who was deliberately stealing the limelight. She didn’t care, and chose a golden egg for Song Yanru. She said, “We’ll choose this one, Yanru. In any case, choosing tonight is no different from choosing tomorrow!”

He Liuqing was used to making decisions, and didn’t care if Song Yanru was happy or not at all. Moreover, the more she looked at the Chi girl in front of her now, the more she felt that she was deliberately trying to steal time on camera – what other reason was there for her to deliberately drag out something as simple as picking an egg? If this scene aired, it would be harmful to Yanru’s reputation. This girl was really too much of a schemer – maybe someone had deliberately placed her by Yanru’s side to harm her.

If Chi Shuyan knew what He Liuqing was thinking at that moment, she would think that the latter was delusional. It was Song Yanru who had clearly begged her repeatedly back then to be able to bring Chi Shuyan along, but now, she thought that someone had deliberately planted Chi Shuyan by Song Yanru’s side to harm the latter.

Whatever He Liuqing was thinking, she chose a golden egg for Song Yanru right away.

Director Huang was also in a hurry to finish things. Seeing how cooperative He Liuqing was, he didn’t care how reluctant Song Yanru was. He hurriedly cracked open the golden egg and revealed the punishment that Song Yanru had to demonstrate: She would die with a pair of scissors stabbed into her chest.

Seeing Song Yanru’s unsightly face, Director Huang hurriedly smoothed things over and added, “Film Empress Song, if you don’t want to demonstrate it tonight, you can do it tomorrow or during the day. You just have to upload a photo on Weibo when the time comes.”

Soon, Director Huang announced that filming was over.

After everyone went back to go back to their rooms, Chi Shuyan took the initiative to look for Song Yanru. However, He Liuqing seemed to bear a grudge against her, and didn’t give the two of them any time or opportunity to talk. As for Song Yanru, she also wanted to ask Master Chi questions, but He Liuqing changed the subject. It was also time to rest, so Song Yanru hurried back to her room.

Nothing had happened in the past few days, and she didn’t know about Xiao Ying at all, so Song Yanru wasn’t as worried and scared as when she had first arrived at the old Liang family residence, nor was she as reliant on Chi Shuyan. After thinking about it, thanks to He Liuqing’s influence, she didn’t look for Chi Shuyan again tonight, and chose to go back to her room to rest.

Seeing that Song Yanru was in a hurry to leave with He Liuqing and wasn’t looking for her, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered with the consequences. She had already said what she needed to say, so it was up to them whether to listen or not.

She had never liked to force her intentions on others, and they would have to bear the consequences themselves.

The longer she stayed at the old Liang family residence, the more uneasy she felt. Apart from Xiao Ying’s disappearance, it had been relatively calm for the past two days, but it felt like the calm before the storm.

Moreover, Chi Shuyan didn’t like the magnetic field here very much. This place was too dark and definitely wasn’t a good place. Playing games like these in this sort of dark place could easily lead to a great disaster. Chi Shuyan sighed and hoped that she was thinking too much.
