Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Then it vanished like a ghost.

They thought the man had already escaped.

How did she end up with Shen Nian?

Shen Nian: "Let's go outside first and talk about it."

She gave everyone a fire-avoidance talisman.

There are talismans to ward off water, and of course there are talismans to ward off fire.

"Put it on, then follow me."

Thick smoke was billowing outside.

The directing team outside the theater was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

When they arrived, the fire was already raging, but the theater doors were locked from the inside.

These old-fashioned door locks with heavy bolts at the back are very difficult to break open from the outside unless you drive a truck into them.

The staff immediately called the police and the fire department.

However, because of its remote location, it takes the fire department some time to arrive.

The only lucky ones were Meng Yang and Xie Shi'an.

They were found lying in the weeds behind the theater.

Beside them lay the props they had painstakingly dug out for the show—a faded evening gown.

The doctor examined her and said she was just too frightened and had fallen into a coma.

But no one knows exactly how terrifying the scene they witnessed was.

The director and producer checked the body cameras on the two men, and remained silent for a long time afterward.

The assistant director asked, "Can this thing... be released?"

Director: "Let's get people out of here first. We can talk about the show later."

-

Several people followed behind Shen Nian.

Strangely, wherever they passed, whether it was thick smoke or firelight, it seemed to have a mind of its own, and retreated half a meter away from them.

The group dared not look too long as the delivery passed by, and finally they touched the scorching hot doorknob.

Shen Nian pushed open the door, letting the others go out first.

She took one last look at the stage.

The blond puppet is standing on the stage.

They seem to still be dancing the same dance from the show back then.

Her body was covered in flames as she jumped and melted in them.

It was ultimately destroyed in the fire.

Just like those people back then.

Shen Nian withdrew her gaze, turned around, and left with the others.

The crew members breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the group had come out safely.

The sirens wailed.

The fire trucks have arrived.

The police stepped forward and detained the man Shen Nian had brought out, and the fire department began extinguishing the fire.

However, at that moment, the man suddenly began to struggle violently.

He broke free from the police's restraints and ran with all his might towards the smoke-filled theater.

"Angie is calling me! I heard her!"

"Anji, don't be afraid, I'm coming to be with you!"

This time he wasn't speaking Chinese.

It is a long and complicated string of foreign words.

The police tried to stop him, but the fire was too intense, and they could only watch helplessly as his figure disappeared into the flames.

The firelight illuminated everyone's faces.

Shen Nian raised her eyelids slightly, but quickly looked away again.

Zhang Xiaoling murmured, "Is he crazy...?"

Every move this person made exuded an air of utter eeriness and madness.

The fire was gradually extinguished.

The number of viewers in the program's live broadcast room did not decrease but increased.

Shen Nian's words were enough to deduce everything that happened tonight.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

I don't know whether I'm shocked that this person was able to hide in this place for so long, or shocked that he dared to commit the crime again.

Aside from some things that are difficult to explain scientifically—such as manipulated guests and puppets with souls.

Everything that happened tonight can still be attributed to the wickedness of human nature.

A cool night breeze swept in, and everything seemed to have settled down.

As victims, the show's guests were taken to the police station overnight to give statements.

The arson occurred too long ago; the police retrieved the files from that year overnight and discovered—

One body was indeed missing from the body that was eventually found in the fire that year.

However, due to the limited conditions for handling the case at the time, and the fact that the other party was an actor from a foreign theater, their biometric information was not kept on file in China.

The case was thus dropped.

After leaving the police station, the production crew took the guests to a hotel to rest.

The recording, originally scheduled for two nights, ended early. The guests could either rest at the hotel the next day or go home on their own.

The director and assistant director returned to their office with all the recorded footage, preparing to select the clips that could be shown and edit the episode.

-

As soon as Shen Nian got out of the car, she saw Gu Qiwen standing tall at the hotel entrance.

"...Why are you here?"

She took a few steps up the stairs, frowning as she asked.

"Seeing it trending on social media makes me a little uneasy."

Gu Qi heard this.

The other guests followed and also saw Gu Qiwen.

His face is certainly familiar to people in the entertainment industry.

After all, when the Gu family entered the film and television industry a few years ago, countless people were eager to gain the favor of this CEO Gu.

From then on, one can rise rapidly to the top.

Hu Die clicked her tongue twice. "President Gu really can't stand not seeing someone for a day, he came right away."

Shen Nian glanced at her with amusement.

Zhang Xiaoling glanced back and forth between the two men with some uncertainty: "President Gu and Master Shen... could it be...?"

As mentioned earlier, countless handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry have their eyes on Gu Qiwen, but over the past few years, none of them have succeeded.

Gu Qiwen's level of self-discipline is astonishing to everyone who wants to sleep with him.

At least Zhang Xiaoling couldn't imagine what kind of person he would like.

However, if the object is this Master Shen...

It seems that it's not entirely incomprehensible now.

Gu Qiwen smiled and said, "We are inviting everyone to our engagement banquet."

Mu Sinian asked, "Is it because of the marriage alliance between the Shen and Gu families?"

Gu Qiwen glanced at him.

The young master of the Mu family was willing to sever ties with his family to enter the entertainment industry.

"It's because we love each other, and the marriage just happens to be beneficial to both families."

Gu Qi heard this.

Shen Nian: ...

Did she say that?

Does this person have any shame?

Mu Sinian: "Is that so? I don't think so."

Zhang Xiaoling and Xie Shi'an exchanged a glance, both seeing the burning passion for gossip in each other's eyes.

Wait a minute, why does what these two are saying... sound a bit confrontational?

"Then you should get your eyes checked."

Gu Qiwen said, "Perhaps next time I see President Mu, I should mention to him that he should pay more attention to his son's eyesight."

Don't let your eyesight go blind at such a young age.

Mu Sinian chuckled, but remained silent.

The hotel had already been cleared out in advance.

The guests had been up all night and were indeed tired, so they took their room keys and prepared to go upstairs to rest.

However, in a corner unseen by them, the intimate scene between Shen Nian and Gu Qiwen had already been captured on camera.

The next day, when the guests got up, they found that they were trending on social media again.

Breaking news! The CEO of Gu's Group has been exposed for his romantic relationship!

So when Shen Nian went downstairs for breakfast, she once again met the eager and gossipy eyes of several people.

Shen Nian: ...
