There was silence on the phone for a while, followed by a series of "beeps". After a while, Ling Mu realized that it was Lin Qiao who hung up the phone.

He froze for a while, wanting to call back, just clicked the keyboard, then stopped, his head was in a mess, he looked down at his toes in a daze.

Sighing, Lin Qiao leaned her entire back against the back of the chair and leaned her head against the backrest, feeling more tired than ever before.

"What? He doesn't believe you?" Jian Yu, who was sitting at the desk, asked.

Lin Qiao didn't speak, but shook her head.

"Why didn't you explain?" Jian Yu looked inquiringly.

"He asked me like that, which means that he already believed it in his heart. Is there any need to explain?" Lin Qiao has always seen clearly.

Jian Yu didn't say anything, just sighed.

.......

Ling Mutian is very busy these days, to be exact, he kept himself very busy, every day he was busy with musical rehearsals, and at night he went to various dinner parties that he was not keen on before, and it happened that Sun Taotao picked up two more for him. Advertisement, he flies around every day, busy like a spinning top.

In the past few days, I have been frequently blocked by reporters asking questions related to Lin Qiao. Because of Lin Qiao’s unspoken rules, the media and netizens are now catching rumors and making things worse and worse. Artists, especially male artists, were all affected. It seemed that everyone with handles had an affair with Lin Qiao.Every time when confronted by reporters, Ling Mutian was always cold-faced, and he couldn't explain clearly or not know anything when asked.

He didn't want to pay attention to the daily news, but he couldn't help but spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous it became, even his musical colleagues began to gossip about the scandal.

A few days later, a reporter broke the news that two other male artists under Star Brand had admitted that they had been coerced by Lin Qiao into having a relationship. The point where everyone is shouting and beating.

Ling Mutian saw the scene of Lin Qiao being chased and intercepted by reporters on TV. Although Lin Qiao was escorted by several bodyguards, Lin Qiao still couldn't get out of trouble. Lin Qiao bumped into the crooked head of Lin Qiao, and Jian Yu stretched out his hand to drag her back. Ling Mutian noticed that Lin Qiao's forehead was red, and couldn't help clenching his teeth and clenched his fists.

That day, Ling Mutian was having a rough time. He woke up to brush his teeth in the morning, but halfway through brushing, he accidentally dropped the toothbrush into the toilet, accidentally knocked over the coffee cup while eating, and spilled coffee all over him. I couldn't find it, so I searched everywhere, and later found that it was plugged in outside the door when I came back last night, and I forgot to pull it out, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

When they arrived at the rehearsal room, everyone was rehearsing the first half of the play when a lamp used as a prop fell from the air and almost hit Ling Mutian, but luckily he dodged it quickly.

During the lunch break, he saw the news of Lin Qiao being chased and intercepted on the TV in the restaurant.

In the afternoon, he was in a bad mood, and the rehearsal was very difficult. He made mistakes many times. The director saw that he was not in good condition, so he asked him to go back to rest. I forgot to turn off the tap when I left.

He contacted the property owner and asked if there was no one living downstairs. He still found the owner's contact information. The owner hurried over, opened the door and saw that the house was basically empty and there was no loss of furniture, but the roof wall They all soaked up a lot, and some water was dripping on the ground.

The owner of the house recognized him as a celebrity, so he was quite polite. Ling Mutian negotiated the compensation and gave the money straightforwardly.

I contacted Sun Taotao to find someone to clean up the house, and went out to find a hotel to live in temporarily.

He didn't go out that night and stayed in the hotel, but he always felt flustered.The condition of this hotel is mediocre, the advantage is that it is close to the rehearsal room, the door panels are too thin, and the corridor carpet is old, every time someone passes by they can hear footsteps, Ling Mutian feels inexplicably terrified.

He didn't sleep well that night, and when he woke up the next morning, his temples were aching. He made himself a cup of instant coffee and poured it in, but he still felt listless.

The phone rang for a while, and he picked it up in a daze.

"Brother Sun, I'll just walk to the rehearsal room by myself, you go have breakfast first."

Sun Taotao didn't answer, and there was silence for a few seconds. For some reason, Ling Mutian had a bad premonition.

"Mutian, I have something to tell you," Sun Taotao coughed softly, "Boss Lin was taken away by the police for investigation yesterday afternoon."

"Why?" Ling Mutian's voice changed.

"Li Shiqin committed suicide." Sun Taotao said.

Ling Mutian sat down on the chair, tongue-tied, unable to react for a long time.

"Mutian, are you still listening?" Sun Taotao asked on the phone, "Mutian?"

Ling Mutian hummed lightly, and wiped his face with his hand, "Why did you tell me now?"

"I thought I was just cooperating with the investigation, so I could come back that night, but......," Sun Taotao's tone was full of worry, "the situation is not very good now."

"Help me arrange the itinerary, I'm going back to City B now." Ling Mutian said.

"You can't go back." Sun Taotao said firmly.

Ling Mutian was anxious, "Why? I want to go back and see him."

"The farther away this kind of thing is, the better. Now the artists of Star Brand are arranged to work in other places. Once you get caught, it will not be good for you or Lin Boss." Sun Taotao sighed, "Besides, there is nothing you can do when you go back. , things will not change in any way.”

Ling Mutian was silent, only feeling angry and anxious, the reason why he was angry was too complicated, he couldn't explain it himself, but he was still worried about Lin Qiao's suffering.

After a while, he asked softly, "Is Li Shiqin dead?"

"Just out of the hospital's observation room this morning," Sun Taotao replied, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened. After he cut his wrist, he called the media, and the ambulance arrived soon."

"What should I do now?" Ling Mutian felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Do nothing, rehearse well." Sun Taotao replied.

.......

That afternoon, Ling Mutian got the news that Lin Qiao had been released due to insufficient evidence. He was slightly relieved, but his head was still in a mess. He only felt his nose sour and his eye sockets hot.

That night, he secretly bought a plane ticket and flew back to City B without saying hello to Sun Taotao.

In Lin's study, Lin Qiao was making tea, and Jian Yu sat opposite him, silently watching his movements.

While waiting for the tea to be brewed, Lin Qiao looked at Jian Yu, "You have something to tell me?"

Jian Yu didn't speak, just nodded.

"Bad news?" Lin Qiao leaned back in the chair, examining his expression.

"The first part of "Water Lotus" has been reviewed before, and the theaters are all lined up, but because of the recent news, netizens jointly boycotted it, and now the major theaters are hesitant to wait and see, and it is likely to be withdrawn."

Lin Qiao nodded, "I thought about it."

After saying this, he became dazed, turning the teacup with his fingers, his eyes fixed on it.

clang!The sound of broken glass and heavy objects hitting the ground came, and both of them heard Aunt Chen's scream downstairs.

Jian Yu quickly opened the study door and rushed down the stairs. Lin Qiao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jian Yu, "Don't go down, lock the door, I'll go take a look."

Lin Qiao thought about it, but did not insist, and did as he said.

After about ten minutes, someone knocked on the door, "It's me."

Lin Qiao went to open the door, Jian Yu outside the door had a gloomy expression.

"What's the situation?" Lin Qiao asked.

Jian Yu raised his hand to show him, "Someone threw this in from the living room window."

Lin Qiao looked over and found that it was a brick with some blood stains on it, and her heart tightened

"There are people injured?"

Jian Yu shook his head, "It's a skinned dead cat."

Lin Qiao felt relieved, "I'll go down and have a look."

Jian Yu had already checked around the villa, and there was no danger, so he nodded and agreed for him to go down.

When Lin Qiao went down, the cat's corpse had already been taken away by Uncle Chen, there was a lot of blood on the ground, and a piece of tattered paper.

Regardless of Jian Yu's dissuasion, he twisted a corner of the paper and picked it up. On it were only four large characters in blood red, "Lin Qiao die!"

Lin Qiao looked at it for a while, then asked Mrs. Chen to take a plastic sealed bag and put it in, "Call the police."

......

As soon as Ling Mutian walked to the entrance of the villa courtyard, he found something was wrong. The courtyard door was wide open, even the villa door was open, and the lights were all on.

When he got closer, he realized that those people were policemen.

He was anxious, thinking that something had happened to Lin Qiao, when he was about to enter the door, he was stopped and interrogated a few times, and it was Jian Yu who came out and led him in.

"He's in the study." Jian Yu simply understood this sentence when he saw him.

Ling Mutian had already noticed the chaos in the living room, "What happened?"

Jian Yu took out his phone and showed him the photos, Ling Mutian frowned after taking a few glances.

"Who could have done it?"

Jian Yu shook his head, "Maybe it's a crazy netizen, it might be an opponent of Xingpai, or it might even be a reporter... who knows! The police|the police are looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no hope."

Ling Mutian went upstairs to the study door, took a deep breath, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Ling Mutian opened the door and looked inside.

Lin Qiao was not behind the desk, he stood in front of the window and looked out with his back to the door.

"It's not safe here. Find a place to house Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, and yourself. I'll go to the office to make do with it for the night. I'll talk about other things tomorrow." Lin Qiao's voice was very soft, with a sense of fatigue and powerlessness .

Ling Mutian knew that he thought he was Jian Yu, so he didn't correct him, but walked over, stuck to his back, and stretched out his arms to hug his waist.

The body of the person in his arms trembled violently, and then a strong force struck, Ling Mutian let go of his hand quickly, and was almost knocked down.

Lin Qiao turned her head and wanted to continue attacking, but after seeing who it was, she froze for a moment, "It's you!"

Ling Mutian didn't know why he was a little embarrassed, he nodded, and walked over again, three or four steps away from Lin Qiao.

"Are you ok?"

Lin Qiao's expression returned to normal, "I'm sorry, today's incident made me a little nervous, why are you back? Didn't the company notify you of the arrangement?"

Ling Mutian began to blame himself for being reckless in his heart, "I informed you, but I'm worried about you."

Lin Qiao tilted her head to look at him, her expression was scrutinizing, "I have done so many bad things and coerced so many little fresh meats, including yourself, you know who I am, don't you know best, I am such a person, Are you still worried about me?"
