Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1287 Delivered to our doorstep, we accept it all.

A month later, the rain on Barlandia Island always came in torrential downpours.

Large raindrops pounded on the mottled exterior wall of the police station, splashing up murky water.

The dim streetlights swayed in the rain, casting the shadows of the two men in varying lengths.

"Officer Zheng, you really have to help me!" Lin Hao cried out in the pouring rain, his hair soaking wet and plastered to his forehead.

His face was streaked with a mixture of rain and tears as he looked at the man in police uniform before him and pleaded for help.

"My wife is missing! She's been gone for a full two weeks!"

Lin Hao's voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

“I’ve called the police countless times over the past two weeks, but these foreigners just won’t take my case and keep making excuses! Please help me, we’re all Chinese!”

When he got emotional, he almost knelt down, gripping Officer Zheng's arm tightly with both hands as if it were his last lifeline.

The man, referred to as Officer Zheng, remained solemn, subtly pulling his hand away from Lin Hao's, and spoke with an official, distant tone:
“Mr. Lin, I’m aware of your situation, but please understand that the island’s police force is severely insufficient, and it’s peak tourist season now.”

"We will not get involved in missing persons cases unless there is solid evidence."

"The person has been missing for fifteen days. Isn't that enough evidence?" Lin Hao's emotions suddenly surged, and his voice rose eight octaves.

"And my visa expires in five days! I have to go back to China no matter what."

"But... but my wife is missing and I can't find her, and you won't file a case! How am I supposed to go back home alone and explain this to my family?!"

By the end, he was in tears, and his grief made anyone who saw him think he was a deeply affectionate husband on the verge of collapse because his beloved wife had gone missing.

Officer Zheng seemed moved by this "deep affection," and after a moment's hesitation, finally relented and said:
"Alright, I'll make an exception and help you this time, but it's too late today. How about tomorrow? I'll bring someone to your hotel tomorrow to find out what's going on."

He paused, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hao: "This is my business card. Let's keep in touch."

"Thank you, thank you Officer Zheng!" Lin Hao was overjoyed and quickly took the business card, thanking Officer Zheng profusely. His face showed the first glimmer of hope in half a month.

After Officer Zheng left, Lin Hao revealed a mocking expression.

"I have to say, the people Shen Man hired are all quite good actors; they're all really good actors," he murmured to himself, a playful smile playing on his lips.

A fake police officer, so convincingly imitating the real one, perfectly mimicked his tone, posture, and even the subtle bureaucratic mannerisms.

Lin Hao glanced casually at the window of a residential building not far away, where Shen Man and several of her friends were observing him from inside.

"How should we play?" Lin Hao rubbed his chin, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, that Miss Jane who impersonated his wife Li Muzi, how should I put it? She wasn't the kind of woman who was particularly beautiful, but she had this kind of aura that made people want to violate her as soon as they saw her."

"And there's Li Muzi's best friend, Shen Man!" Thinking about it, Lin Hao felt that these women were all pretty good, and their future "entertainment projects" would definitely suit his taste.

Lin Hao guessed correctly; at this moment, Shen Man was making arrangements to deal with him.

"How are the preparations going at the hotel?"

"Ready!"

"Okay!" Shen Man nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to a bearded man.

Before Shen Man could speak, the bearded man said, "The surveillance video has already been edited, and the Chinese waiter has been taken care of."

"Okay, that's settled then. Everyone just needs to act out the script from now on." Shen Man waved her hand and continued:

"Jane, stay behind. Everyone else, you may leave."

Shen Man, Li Muzi's best friend, suspected Lin Hao of being the murderer from the bottom of her heart, but unfortunately she had no evidence. So she decided to set a trap for Lin Hao and lure him into it.

"Why did you ask me to stay?" Jane walked over. She had a face that wasn't stunningly beautiful but was extremely alluring, and a graceful figure. She was the kind of woman who could easily arouse a man's desire to attack her.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you. You've made such a huge sacrifice to help me find out the truth," Shen Man said apologetically as she took Jane's hand.

After all, if she's going to impersonate Li Muzi, she'll inevitably have to have some intimate scenes with Lin Hao.

“I hate scumbags the most, and I have a duty to rid the world of such scourges,” Jane said with a charming smile.
"Besides, haven't you already analyzed it? There's a high probability that Lin Hao won't touch me, so what's there to worry about?"

Logically speaking, he shouldn't touch you, but what if…” Shen Man was still a little worried.

According to her analysis, Lin Hao's main persona towards Li Muzi was that of a deeply affectionate person.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, if Lin Hao isn't the murderer, he absolutely won't allow anyone to impersonate his wife.

If Lin Hao is the murderer, he would kill his real wife for the inheritance, so why would he be lustful towards a fake one?
But analysis is one thing, what if? What if Lin Hao really does fall for her?
······
On the other side, Lin Hao hummed an unknown tune and strolled back to the hotel where he was staying with Li Muzi, his steps slightly anxious and tired.

Upon arriving at the hotel room, the first thing Lin Hao saw was a half-empty bottle of foreign liquor on the coffee table.

A slight smile played on his lips, and from a distance, one could smell a faint, cloying sweetness emanating from the wine—the smell of sleeping pills.

Shen Man wanted to get herself "drunk" and fall asleep so she could take the opportunity to Photoshop the photo of Lin Hao and Li Muzi on his phone into a photo of Jane, and also let Jane familiarize herself with the room layout beforehand so as not to give herself away.

Lin Hao naturally wanted to grant Shen Man's wish.

He picked up the bottle on the coffee table, looked at the bottle opening, and downed the bottle of wine, which contained a large amount of sleeping pills, in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, he pretended to sway for a moment, then lay down on the bed and "fell asleep."

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door:
"Hello sir, I'm the housekeeper who's here to clean your room..."

"gentlemen?"

"Sir, are you alright?"

After calling out several times to make sure Lin Hao was fast asleep, the voice changed from its previous cautious tone to a low one, saying, "Everyone, come in and get to work."

“Jane, put on this red slip dress.”

Several figures entered the room silently and began to busy themselves. Some were using Lin Hao's phone and computer, while others were setting up the room. Jane, on the other hand, changed into a sexy red nightgown and walked around the room, familiarizing herself with the surroundings.

Lin Hao thought Shen Man and the others would leave soon, but they waited and waited and the people didn't leave. It seemed that they were still making arrangements.

As he waited, he became genuinely sleepy due to the effects of the sleeping pills and his boredom. Although they were ineffective on him, he had to pretend. Eventually, he grew tired of waiting and decided to let his mind settle down and begin to doze off.

I slept soundly until dawn.

Before Lin Hao could even open his eyes, he was awakened by a deliberately soft rustling sound and a gentle, sweet voice:

"Honey, honey? Time to get up and have breakfast!"

Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes and saw Jane, wearing a red spaghetti strap nightgown, bending over and looking at him with a charming smile. The neckline of the nightgown was very low, revealing a patch of fair skin and an alluring cleavage.

"Hmm?" A hint of confusion flashed in Lin Hao's eyes at the right moment. He was a professional actor, after all. Who doesn't have a dramatic girlfriend?

Lin Hao's eyelids twitched a few times before he slowly opened them, his eyes filled with confusion and turbidity, as if he were still hungover.

"who are you?"

Jane's smile remained unchanged, and she even said with a hint of reproach:
“I’m your wife, Mu Zi.” Jane’s smile was sweet, with a hint of coquetry.

"My wife?" Lin Hao continued to play dumb.

However, when his gaze focused on his side, his confusion was instantly replaced by extreme astonishment and anger.

A strange woman, wearing an extremely sexy red slip dress that barely covered anything, was leaning on his shoulder, looking at him with a charming smile.

"You're awake?" The woman's voice carried a hint of languor and taken for granted.

Lin Hao sat up abruptly, pulling the blanket over himself, the magnitude of his movement revealing his shock and repulsion.

Lin Hao pointed at Jane, his voice trembling with anger:
"Who...who are you?! What are you doing in my room? And on my bed?"

Jane's smile remained unchanged, and she even said with a hint of reproach:
“I’m your wife, Mu Zi.” Jane’s smile was sweet, with a hint of coquetry.

"My wife?" Lin Hao seemed to realize what was happening, his eyes sharp as knives as he stared at her angrily and said, "Bullshit!"

"How could I not recognize my wife? I've never seen you before, yet you dare to impersonate her? Tell me! Who sent you? What's your purpose?"

He grabbed Jane's wrist with such force that she frowned slightly, but the inquiry and "anger" in his eyes were incredibly real.

"Honey, you're hurting me!" Jane struggled slightly, her acting superbly conveying grievance and confusion.

"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have run away from home in a fit of pique." As she spoke, her eyes quickly welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.

Following the script, Jane began to apologize, trying to build rapport and lower Lin Hao's guard.

"Shall I apologize to you?"

As she spoke, she slowly embraced Lin Hao, resting her head on his shoulder, and a faint scent of perfume entered Lin Hao's nostrils.

According to Shen Man's script, the other party should have vehemently denied it at this point.

After all, regardless of whether the other party is a murderer or not, it's impossible for him to mistake his own wife.

Moreover, she doesn't look like Li Muzi at all, but surprisingly...!

Lin Hao struggled with her for several minutes. Looking at Jane's determined attitude to pretend to be her, a faint smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips.

The time was almost right, and then the anger and doubt on his face receded like the tide, replaced by a helpless weariness.

He looked deeply into Jane's eyes, his gaze seeming to pierce through her skin and see into her soul.

"Okay, I forgive you." Lin Hao didn't stand on ceremony and hugged her back, his hand naturally stroking her smooth back.

Jane: "???"

What the heck is "Forgive me"?

Wait, why isn't this guy playing by the rules?
At that moment, even Jane, a professional stage actress, almost couldn't hold back her emotions and almost lost her composure, not even knowing how to continue her lines.

This is completely different from the previous rehearsals. All the lines I memorized are useless now!
Jane, who was considering how to respond, suddenly changed her expression and struggled to get out of Lin Hao's embrace.

"Honey, wait a minute, shall we... shall we have breakfast first?"

"Since you say you're my wife~!" Lin Hao looked down at her, a wicked smile playing on his lips, completely different from the devastated and desperate husband he had been just moments before.

"It's not too much to ask to fulfill some marital obligations, is it?"

"Wait, wait a minute, Lin Hao, you~!" Jane tried to struggle, wanting to righteously refuse according to the backup plan, but Lin Hao didn't give her a chance at all.

His kiss landed with undeniable force, silencing all her unspoken words.

His arms were like iron hoops, holding her firmly in his embrace, his eyes filled with undisguised desire for her.

Jane initially resisted instinctively, but Lin Hao's skill and strength far exceeded her expectations.

The struggle gradually turned into submission. Jane's mind was in chaos. The task and Shen Man's instructions were thrown to the back of her mind, and her body's instinctive reaction took over.

She felt like a small boat lost in a storm, passively rising and falling with the giant waves stirred up by Lin Hao.

······
Meanwhile, outside the hotel where Lin Hao was staying.

"It's about time, let's go." Zheng Cheng, dressed in a police uniform, waved his hand and strode into the hotel with several extras.

They planned to follow the script, visit Li Muzi's home to inquire about her "disappearance and return," and put pressure on Lin Hao.

However, when he led his men to Lin Hao's room, his expression suddenly turned strange.

Through the door, he could vaguely hear some sounds of people exercising in the morning coming from inside.

"What's going on?" Zheng Cheng wondered to himself. "This morning exercise scene wasn't in the script, so why did they add it on their own?"

For a moment, Zheng Cheng's hand, which was about to knock on the door, froze in mid-air; he didn't know whether he should knock or not.

"Oh well, it'll only take the time it takes to smoke a cigarette. I'll just wait a bit," Zheng Cheng thought to himself.

They then had no choice but to retreat to the end of the corridor with their men and wait "patiently".

However, Lin Hao, who was inside the room, retorted, "One cigarette? Who the hell do you think you are? Don't even mention one cigarette, a whole pack wouldn't be enough."

Five minutes, ten minutes, an hour...

He waited for most of the day, pacing in the corridor, his face growing darker and darker, cigarette butts scattered all over the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Jane curled up by the bed, her back to Lin Hao, pulled the blanket over herself, her body trembling slightly, her emotions extremely complicated.

Shame, anger, a rare sense of satisfaction, and panic at the mission going completely off track were intertwined.

Lin Hao, however, acted as if nothing had happened, leaning lazily against the headboard and gently stroking Jane's smooth back.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Lin Hao spoke calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger:
