Chapter 284 Weighing the pros and cons
After Xia Zhihuai put on Wanwan's coat and shoes, he took a flashlight and prepared to go out to find the director.

Wanwan suddenly raised her head and said, "Should I tell Uncle Mo?"

Xia Zhihuai was a little startled, lowered his head and asked, "You said Mo Zexu?"

"Yes, he and Shushu are related." Wanwan scratched her forehead with her index finger, "They are related, I can tell from their faces."

Xia Zhihuai had a look of hesitation on his face. He had heard about the relationship between Mo Zexu and Yan Shu, but he had observed during the recording process that Yan Shu and Mo Zexu were not actually very close.

In the initial guest grouping, Mo Zexu was also grouped with the little girl Diandian.

With Mo Zexu's connections and status, he could actually say hello to the program crew before the show started and be directly on the same team as Yan Shu, just like he was with Wanwan.

But Mo Zexu didn't.

Yan Shu seemed to have admiration for Mo Zexu, but he didn't dare to get too close.

In short, the rumored wealthy Mo family seems to be hiding various unknown secrets.

Xia Zhihuai didn't intend to inquire too much before, but...

He briefly glanced at Wanwan, who was like a small firecracker, and now it seemed that it was impossible not to get involved.

I just don’t know how much of the Mo family’s secrets will be revealed by Wanwan this time.

Xia Zhihuai pondered for a while: "Let's go see Director Hu first and ask him what he thinks, and then inform Mo Zexu."

Wanwan didn't quite understand why he did this, but she now understood that adults sometimes consider more aspects when doing things, so she didn't raise any further opinions.

……

When Hu Beijun was about to fall asleep, the door of his room was suddenly knocked "dong dong dong" several times.

The house rented by the program crew is an ordinary farmhouse, so the overall sound insulation is not good. If the iron door is knocked with a little force, the sound will be like thunder on the back of the head, which is annoying.

He pulled the quilt over his head, expecting to continue sleeping, but the knock on the door soon came again.

This time the frequency was faster, waking up the staff in several nearby rooms.

Hu Beijun lifted the quilt, put on his slippers, and walked to the door with a tigerish face. When he opened the door, he saw the brother and sister in pajamas.

He immediately prepared to close the door with his backhand. Xia Zhihuai, with quick eyes and quick hands, pressed his left hand against the door panel and said helplessly: "Director Hu, you don't do this."

"What time is it now?" Hu Beijun asked, holding back his temper.

"It's still early, it's not even twelve o'clock yet."

Hu Beijun clasped his hands together and prayed in pain: "Brother! Ancestor! You two will do well, okay? We are recording a program. We have to get up at five or six in the morning to prepare, and of course we have to go to bed early at night. It's a big deal. Let’s talk tomorrow…”

"You have to wait until tomorrow to talk about life-threatening matters?"

Xia Zhihuai still refused to let go and interrupted him.

Hu Beijun's left eyelid twitched fiercely. He woke up from his drowsiness. He looked back behind him and said with a look of horror on his face: "I'll go. Isn't it going to be haunted again?"

Xia Zhihuai looked at him and wanted to stick to him, and immediately explained: "No."

"It's not haunted."

Seeing Xia Zhihuai's solemn expression, Hu Beijun seemed to have no intention of teasing him. He hesitated for a few seconds and stepped aside: "Then come in and talk."

After Xia Zhihuai entered the room, he briefly summarized the matter in a few words, gave Hu Beijun some time to react, sat on the chair and hugged Wanwan, waiting for him to sort out the whole process.

After a long while, Hu Beijun suddenly took a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "So, you want me to call the police to solve this matter?"

Xia Zhihuai nodded slightly: "It's almost the same, but this case has to be reported to the Demon Management Bureau, and ordinary departments can't file it." Hu Beijun took out a jade pendant from under the bedside, put it in his hand and touched it a few times, then raised his head She was about to cry without tears and said: "Am I really going to have Mercury retrograde this year? The first episode was haunted and there was a fraudster, but the second episode was successfully recorded without any weird things happening. In the blink of an eye, this is The third recording session encountered another attempted murder..."

"I have worked so hard to plan this program, but the recording process was too bumpy, wasn't it?"

Xia Zhihuai remained silent and tried to reduce his sense of presence.

Wanwan turned around and looked around, then interjected: "But no one has been killed yet, so that's something to be thankful for."

Hu Beijun paused while holding the jade pendant with tears in his eyes, then turned to look at Wanwan.

I didn't expect it before, but when Zaizai said this, it seemed... quite right? !
……

"But reporting the crime will affect the normal recording of this program, right?" Hu Beijun was abnormal for a few minutes, and quickly returned to his previous shrewd calculations, "Our rental fee is also very high, and it is still a live broadcast. If the program suddenly stops recording , it’s difficult to explain to investors.”

"Furthermore, Mo Yanshu is from the Mo family, and the Mo family is a well-known rich man. If the case is reported directly and the demon management bureau personnel you mentioned intervene in the investigation, the Mo family will definitely be very angry with us. Then this program will It’s hard to say whether it can be done or not.”

"It's about Mo Yanshu's life. We can't make assumptions about Mo Yanshu's father just because of that brand."

"Even if you report a crime, it is by no means that simple. Publicizing the fact that someone wants to harm Mo Yanshu will do more harm than good to all parties. Although it will bring a lot of traffic to our program, when it comes to the investigation of the case, the official department should Nor is he willing to conduct a public investigation simultaneously..."

Wanwan lowered her head and was picking her fingers. She didn't want to listen to Director Hu keep talking about this and that.

But under Director Hu's multi-faceted analysis, even Xia Zhihuai couldn't help but fall silent.

Wanwan felt very uncomfortable and suddenly whispered: "But why did Shu Shu have to suffer in the end? What could he do wrong?"

Hu Beijun and Xia Zhihuai looked at each other, with a look of struggle in their eyes.

Indeed, most people would benefit from coordinating the matter privately before calling the police for investigation.

But for Yan Shu, it’s so unfair.

He almost died due to the life-cutting card, but the adults around him were weighing the pros and cons.

……

Hu Beijun picked up the phone and said with a solemn expression, "I'll notify Mo Zexu first, and then contact his guardian."

After all, Mo Zexu is Yan Shu's brother-in-law, and he is currently the person closest to Yan Shu in the crew.

Let's first explore his tone and see if we can get a glimpse into the complex relationships within the Mo family.

Mo Zexu came very quickly, and it only took 10 minutes.

He came in a hurry wearing a black coat and slippers.

After seeing Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan in the room, he nodded slightly to them and said directly to Hu Beijun: "Is what you just said on the phone true?"

Hu Beijun nodded: "Xia Zhihuai and the others told me about this."

Mo Zexu put his hand into his coat pocket, took out a black velvet bag, and handed it to Xia Zhihuai.

"Look at this, is it the death-cutting card you mentioned?"

Xia Zhihuai was slightly startled: "You have one too?"

Mo Zexu's face became extremely gloomy: "You should test it first."

Otherwise, he said nothing.
