I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 481, The Perverted Feeling

The change in his eyes.

A lingering sense of despair.

When Zhu Chaoyang saw his father, on the one-monthly meeting day, bring Zhu Jingjing and his remarried wife.

His eyes were shrouded in a heavy shadow.

And disappointment

It doesn't seem like acting.

"We came together, he definitely won't mind." At this moment, Zhu Chaoyang's father's current wife said this with a slight smile.

He won't mind.

I definitely won't mind.

Her strength

Her irrationality.

At this moment, Zhu Jingjing stepped on Zhu Chaoyang's shoes—intentionally, and then smiled afterward.

Wang Yao watched with a smile as her daughter bullied Zhu Chaoyang.

Zhu Chaoyang's silence

Until Zhu Jingjing, encouraged by her mother, bullied Zhu Chaoyang again. This time, however, Zhu Jingjing fell down. This fall triggered her mother's reaction.

She grabbed Zhu Chaoyang and said excitedly.

"What did you do to my daughter!"

"Don't you look at your son!"

Wang Yao looked at Zhu Yongping.

Zhu Yongping remained silent.

Here, in the script.

Zhu Chaoyang wanted to argue, felt wronged, and react to Zhu Jingjing and Wang Yao's actions, but at this moment...

Zhu Chaoyang stared intently at Zhu Yongping.

Eyes.

There was no change, no hesitation.

What he wanted to know was how his biological father, Zhu Yongping, would react when faced with injustice.

But in reality, this was Zhu Yongping's reaction.

It is silence.

This scene.

It's actually quite ordinary; it's more of a setup scene.

It's not particularly important, especially since everyone feels that this amateur actor playing the lead role must have required a lot of hard work to produce.

Amateurs are not so easy to train.

But at this moment, Zhang Yi's acting skills were unexpectedly impressive.

Even Liang Jiahui was somewhat surprised by the situation, because Zhu Chaoyang's reaction to this was like an instinct.

Are you wronged? Yes, I am.

My parents are divorced, and I live with my controlling mother. My mother says that nothing else matters except studying. Friends don't matter, health doesn't matter, and nothing is as important as studying.

Solitary, yet intelligent.

None of his attributes are as important as the score on a piece of paper.

It was this suffocating environment and this suffocating family situation that created this poor child.

Looking at Zhu Chaoyang, a feeling of pity suddenly welled up within me, a pity for this poor child.

And his grievances didn't seem like an act.

Just like his life.

"Just like your life, you're a good child. Growing up, you learn to please and beg to get what you want, perhaps because you have no other choice."

Everyone was amazed by the amateur Li Yun had chosen, and shocked by the acting skills displayed by this amateur.

What kind of monster is Li Yun?

The fact that he could choose such an accurate amateur actor is remarkable. He even managed to deliver such a performance.

Where did he find such a promising talent?

Where did you find it?

Li Yun looked at Zhu Chaoyang as if he were looking in a mirror, just as he looked at his own distant and unknown past, a hazy dream in which the figure of the past was engraved.

Why choose Zhang Yi? Besides Li Yun's rational belief that he was suitable for the role, there was also an instinctive feeling that he was like a mirror image to her.

Just like the past of this body of mine.

Memories of the past, of bygone days.

The script and reality overlap; she is abandoned by her father.

Pretend to be a good child as you grow up.

On the road to growth.

All the hardships and bitterness I've experienced.

Their feelings transformed into a heavy sense of righteousness, and Lingyun captured this emotion—the feeling of hatred.

Pain, suffering, and hatred.

These emotions burned in Li Yun's mind.

"Why? I've done my best! I just lacked an opportunity! Why won't they even look at me?"

At this moment, Li Yun suddenly started shouting and yelling like a madman.

This gave everyone a big shock.

At this moment, Li Yun seemed to have gone mad.

But what was said.

Zhang Yi felt a strong connection to the play, which made him feel like he was actually in it.

But the way Zhu Chaoyang acted.

It's just that I feel wronged.

It evokes pity in people.

But how much of the pity on his face, as he portrayed it, was truly genuine?

How much of it is real?

Just like Li Yun taught, be a good child.

Just like usual, pretend to be a good child.

The disguise was very convincing.

The disguise was so convincing that no one could see through it.

It wasn't until Zhu Jingjing's accidental death that everyone suddenly felt something.

One reaction was that it was very satisfying, since Zhu Jingjing was indeed not a good person. However, when everyone saw Wang Yao hysterically believing that Zhu Chaoyang was the murderer, they also felt that Zhu Chaoyang was innocent.

The second feeling.

Was he pushed down by Zhu Chaoyang?

The script is quite interesting here.

The suspense truly begins here.

Two lines.

One thread is Zhang Dongsheng's story, the one where he pushes down his father-in-law and mother-in-law; the other thread is Zhu Chaoyang's story, the unexpected relationship between him and Zhu Jingjing.

The intersection of two lines.

While hiking with Zhu Chaoyang and the others, he accidentally took a picture of Zhang Dongsheng's criminal evidence.

As a "good boy," Zhu Chaoyang didn't want to cause trouble. He was a recognized good boy, just like Zhang Dongsheng was a recognized good man.

Zhang Dongsheng did indeed kill his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Whether Zhu Chaoyang actually did this is debatable, and even as bystanders, everyone found Wang Yao's behavior somewhat incomprehensible.

Just trust the police.

Why blame a young boy because of "prejudice"?

Moreover, judging from various clues, Zhu Jingjing is the one who always provokes Zhu Chaoyang; she is the troublemaker.

He lost his footing and fell.

He brought it on himself.

She deserved it; her actions earned her the retribution she received.

The pitiful and tragic Wang Yao, and Zhu Jingjing.

This is where Li Yun's script's strengths begin to emerge.

Two storylines with two male leads.

One storyline is led by Zhang Dongsheng, who is an adult, and the other is led by Zhu Chaoyang, who is a teenager. These three people, including Zhu Chaoyang, plan to extort 300,000 yuan from Zhang Dongsheng.

Zhang Dongsheng's humanity is complex.

He never intended to silence them in the first place.

That was his initial thought.

He used 30 yuan to settle the matter peacefully, and for this he borrowed money from loan sharks and raised money from every place he could think of. This failed middle-aged man really wanted to raise money to resolve the matter, rather than relying on his status as an adult and his past as a murderer to do so.

He still retains his rationality.

Although it sounds strange, he does possess all the characteristics of civilized people.

He is not a vicious murderer.

He even had a kind of elder-like fondness for Pu Pu.

He also had a fondness for Zhu Chaoyang, who also possessed remarkable mathematical talent; Zhu Chaoyang was ranked number one in the Children's Palace.

His intellectual intelligence and similar personality traits gave him a sense of belonging and attachment to Zhu Chaoyang.

Because of Pu Pu, his fatherly feelings were directly awakened.

Tell him to go back and ask his wife if they have a daughter, and if so, to braid her hair.

But the answer he received was cold, even contemptuous.

Let's get a divorce, right now.

Zhang Dongsheng's wife gave him an answer: divorce.

They desperately tried to persuade him to stay.

The response I received was cold and indifferent.

This reignited Zhang Dongsheng's murderous intent.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

In Li Yun's mind, that overwhelming murderous intent surged up once again. The plan to kill him took shape in his mind: to use his own blood sugar-lowering drugs, disguised as his wife's medication for treating anxiety.

Then the wife, who went swimming, died in the pool.

He escaped legal punishment once again.

This time, no one filmed Zhang Dongsheng's actions.

He said he would kill his wife and her entire family if they divorced.

This husband is a complete pervert.

Everyone was astonished by Zhang Dongsheng's actions; how could he be so perverted?

"This mysterious killer is so twisted, but I also feel so sorry for him."

At this moment, Tony Leung and Eddie Peng, who were off-screen, were completely like audience members, filled with curiosity.

With Zhang Dongsheng's storyline, we already know who the murderer is. For a traditional suspense drama, the answer to who the murderer is is already obvious.

In other suspense dramas, this would mean that the biggest mystery has been lost, and there's no need to guess who the murderer is anymore, but it still keeps people curious.

It still leaves people curious about what will happen next.

How did Zhu Jingjing die?

How will the relationship between Zhu Chaoyang and Zhang Dongsheng continue to become entangled?

Just two people who look similar.

The sun rises in the east.

These two names seem to echo each other.

The two were connected in some way.

At this moment, Li Yun felt Zhang Dongsheng in his mind.

Occasionally, people might not understand his twisted actions, such as killing his wife, which he took for granted.

The reason he killed his parents-in-law was because he didn't want a divorce.

But now, he killed his wife without hesitation.

His wife had no idea what he was doing on the mountain.

You killed her without hesitation.

"You're such a pervert, Zhang Dongsheng."

At this moment, everyone was also shocked by Li Yun's acting skills, especially Yang Qianxi, who had a feeling of admiration for him.

Understanding and immersion in the character.

He was almost driven to madness.

His acting skills have reached a level of perfection, almost transcending the ordinary.

To reach such a level at such an age.

He is truly amazing.

What awards can he win?

Best Actor? Best TV Actor?

Just how far can he go?

At the same time, I was shocked and curious about his script.

That unparalleled curiosity made him feel itchy; he wasn't exactly a fan of suspense dramas to begin with, but at this moment, he also felt a surge of curiosity.

Whether it's the complex and ever-changing Zhang Dongsheng.

It was still Zhu Chaoyang standing before me.

The sun rises in the east, and the sun sets in the west.

The two of them have an absolute affinity for each other.

Even though Yang Qianxi initially harbored some hostility towards this lead role, he now had to admit it.

You're still Li Yun, aren't you?

This casting is convincing.

You can't tell at all that they're amateurs acting; they look like they've received professional acting training.

They look just like real actors.

They don't look like ordinary people at all.

A young person's likes and dislikes can often be separated by a single thought. At this moment, Yang Qianxi lowered his guard a bit when he met this boy who always seemed to have a strange sense of inferiority and a desire to please.

After all, spending time together during rehearsals day and night before rehearsals can foster some feelings between people.

"Zhang Yi".

At this moment, Yang Qianxi called out to Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi, who was reading the script, did not answer him until Yang Qianxi called out to Zhu Chaoyang, which made the young man slowly raise his head.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" The voice was soft, somewhat timid, and even carried a hint of ingratiation.

Yang Qianxi frowned.

"I have my own name, you can just call me Ah Xi."

"Okay... Ah Xi."

Zhang Yi's panic was genuine.

At this moment, Jackson Yee asked Zhang Yi a question.

"So, did you kill Zhu Jingjing or not?" Yang Qianxi asked Zhang Yi with a puzzled look.

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment before speaking.

"It's not in the script, and I don't know now."

"What do you think?" At this moment, Yang Qianxi suddenly approached and asked curiously.

Did I kill Zhu Jingjing or not?

Zhang Yi knew the answer, but he didn't really want to say it.

"Okay, you seem a bit slow, so let me ask you a different question. What is Zhang Dongsheng after? He pushed his parents-in-law off the mountain because he didn't want to leave his wife, but now that his wife is asking him for a divorce, his first thought is to kill her. He seems a bit crazy."

As Yan Liang in the script, one of the people involved in blackmailing Zhang Dongsheng, he was very curious.

As an actor, he was curious about the murderer's motives; perhaps every young person has a little detective in their heart.

Why did he kill someone?

Most people don't understand Zhang Dongsheng's motives, but deep down they feel that what he did was reasonable. This is one of the suspenseful aspects of The Hidden Corner.

What kind of person is Zhang Dongsheng?

What is his logical motivation?

Most people are curious, but don't understand.

But when Zhang Yi looked at the bespectacled murderer in front of him, he thought of Li Yun's words.

We were once the same kind.

Since we are of the same kind, we can all understand each other.

Zhu Chaoyang should also be able to understand Zhang Dongsheng.

Zhang Yi suddenly spoke up.

"It's because of the divorce, it's because Wang Yao wants to divorce Zhang Dongsheng."

"Huh? Because he didn't want a divorce, he killed his wife?" Yang Qianxi was stunned by this logic.

There's nothing wrong with that, right?

Something is wrong.
