That night, when Xu Xiwen and Qin Yi came to the mansion, there were already two unexpected people in front of the mansion - Ma Mao and Adrian.

Seeing Xu Xiwen, Ma Mao waved his hands exaggeratedly, "Little Nannan, good evening!"

"Why are you here?" Xu Xiwen said in surprise.

"Chen Wenyi is my aunt's daughter and also my cousin, so I'm here." Ma Mao turned his gaze to Qin Yi, "Ouch, a kid from the Qin family."

Qin Yi frowned, "A member of the Ma family."

Xu Xiwen remembered what Qin Yi once told him about "Southern Qin and Northern Horses", but he didn't expect that Ma Mao, who looked foolish, was actually from the Ma family in the north.

Adrian smiled and said, "Since we met, let's go together."

Xu Xiwen glanced at Qin Yi, but did not speak.

Qin Yi was silent for a long time before he nodded.

Ma Mao quickly opened the door lock of the western building with a wire, and walked in first.

In the daytime, the European-style furniture looks luxurious and exquisite, but in the night, it has a gloomy taste.

When Xu Xiwen walked up the stairs, he found a portrait hanging on the wall of the stairs.The person in the portrait has a stiff face and cold eyes, as if watching these intruders.

The four of them went up to the roof, and an embroidered handkerchief hung on the edge of the roof, dancing in the night wind.

Qin Yi walked to the edge of the roof and took off the wooden sword on his back.He made a few sword gestures and muttered something.

Ma Mao looked envious, "The kid from the Qin family is really a monster. Even the old man of my family needs to prepare a lot of magic tools and materials if he wants to summon the soul, but he only needs a wooden sword."

Xu Xiwen was slightly displeased when he heard Ma Mao call Qin Yi a "monster".

Adrian watched Qin Yi's movements without blinking.

A gust of wind blew by, and a black mist appeared on Qin Yi's sword tip, but it didn't take long for the black mist to dissipate.He repeated it several times, and it was the same. The black mist showed no sign of condensing.

Xu Xiwen asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"There are only two possibilities. One is that I failed, and the other is that Chen Wenyi's soul is gone." Qin Yi put the wooden sword back on his back with a solemn expression.

Adrian shook his head, "You didn't fail, if you failed, the black mist would not appear." He paused, "You are indeed a genius in Taoism."

"There are only two possibilities for the soul to be gone. One is that it has entered reincarnation, and the other is that the soul has disappeared." Ma Mao's face was rare serious, "She has not been dead for a long time, so it is impossible to have entered reincarnation."

Adrian continued: "Did someone break up her soul, or was it some other accident?"

Qin Yi ignored Ma Mao and Adrian, and said to Xu Xiwen, "Go back."

"Are we going back like this?" Xu Xiwen said unwillingly.

Qin Yi looked around, the night was dark, "There is nothing here."

Xu Xiwen didn't understand what Qin Yi meant, but Ma Mao did.

Ma Mao said excitedly: "It's really wrong, the surrounding area is too clean!"

"Clean?" Xu Xiwen asked puzzled.

Adrian explained: "Ma Mao has yin and yang eyes and can see souls. Countless people die every day, and souls are everywhere, but there are no souls around."

"This means that either someone is using souls for magic, or something has eaten them all." Ma Mao grinned, showing his white teeth.

……

While applying powder to Xu Xiwen, the makeup artist asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Xu Xiwen couldn't tell the makeup artist that he summoned souls with Qin Yiyanglou last night, so he could only give a vague "hmm".

"I think you've acted very well, don't put too much pressure on yourself." The makeup artist thought that Xu Xiwen, as a rookie actor, was under too much pressure, so he didn't sleep well.

Xu Xiwen smiled lightly, "Thank you."

"Tell me, why did Chen Wenyi commit suicide by jumping off the building?" the make-up artist sighed.

Xu Xiwen said thoughtfully, "Maybe there is something unspeakable?"

"If I had a husband like Yue Cun, I would never commit suicide anyway." The makeup artist joked.

"Dream you!" said another makeup artist.

Chen Wenyi's suicide made headlines on the front pages of major newspapers.There are endless speculations about the reasons for her suicide.

In order to attract attention, some street tabloids even published sensational content, such as "Long-term domestic violence, Yue Cun's wife committed suicide", "Heavenly King Yue Cun had a special sexual addiction, his wife committed suicide due to unbearable abuse" and "Yue Cun was actually gay Wife Chen Wenyi commits suicide".

Yue Cuncun's image was damaged after it was revealed that he and his wife Chen Wenyi had been secretly married for more than ten years, so he played the emotional card and showed his image as a considerate husband.Chen Wenyi's suicide pushed Yue Cun to the forefront, and his public relations team was facing the biggest test ever.

Yue Cun hadn't shaken off the grief of his wife's death, and he had to face the slander from everyone, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.But even so, the filming of the new version of "Once Upon a Time in Beijing" still cannot be suspended, because if it is delayed for a day, countless RMB will be spent like running water.

Because the mansion where Chen Wenyi committed suicide has been blocked by the police, the crew had to change to another shooting location, and many previous scenes needed to be reshot.

……

When Bai Yongxue saw Fan Yunsheng get off the Japanese car, he felt as if something was broken in his heart.He had envied this man before, envied his handsome demeanor, envied his broad vision, and envied him being favored by Sun Yuan.These envy changed after learning of Fan Yunsheng's identity.

Seeing Fan Yunsheng walking away, he quickly took a shortcut and blocked Fan Yunsheng who was alone in an alley.

Fan Yunsheng looked at Bai Yongxue in confusion, "Student Bai?"

Bai Yongxue swallowed the words again, he felt like he wanted to know the answer but didn't seem to want to know the answer.In the end, he still asked, "Are you working for the Japanese?"

"I'm just doing things for myself." Fan Yunsheng's eyes were dark and full of complicated emotions.

Bai Yongxue was silent again, before saying after a while: "You are a traitor."

"Didn't Chairman Wang say, save the country with curves." Fan Yunsheng said sweet words that he didn't even believe. "The land in Shenzhou is sinking, and the people are displaced. Although cooperating with the Japanese is to seek skin from tigers, I have to do it."

Bai Yongxue repeated, "You are a traitor."

Fan Yunsheng turned his head away, not daring to look into Bai Yongxue's eyes.

"You are not worthy of Miss Sun." Bai Yongxue said disdainfully, "You are not even worthy of being a Chinese!"

Fan Yunsheng said unhurriedly: "Whether I am worthy of being Chinese is not up to you."

"I look down on you, Fan, Yun, Sheng." Bai Yongxue took a few steps forward, grabbed Fan Yunsheng by the collar, and was about to strike.

Fan Yunsheng grabbed Bai Yongxue's hand, and twisted Bai Yongxue instead.He punched Bai Yongxue hard in the abdomen, and then lightly patted Bai Yongxue's face, "You are a scholar who is useless." After speaking, he let go of Bai Yongxue and walked out of the alley.

Bai Yongxue fell to the ground clutching his lower abdomen. He tried his best to raise his head and looked at Fan Yunsheng's back with eyes full of hatred.

I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him.Think in vain.

……

After Yue Cun finished the play, his face was full of exhaustion that couldn't be concealed.After drinking a cup of black coffee bought by his assistant, he went outside to smoke a cigarette.

Xu Xiwen hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Seeing Xu Xiwen, Yue Cun took out the cigarette case, "Do you want it?"

Xu Xiwen waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I don't smoke."

Yue Cun put the cigarette case back into his pocket, and continued to smoke the cigarette in his hand.

Halfway through the cigarette, he said: "When I woke up yesterday morning, my wife was sleeping next to me. I was afraid of waking her up, so I moved very lightly. When I went out, I thought about bringing her a piece of candy." Stir-fried chestnuts, she likes to eat this, and she can't get tired of eating it. But when I see her again, she is dead."

Even though Yue Cun was famous for being flirtatious in the circle, he and Chen Wenyi had been married for many years, and it was not without affection.

"My condolences." Xu Xiwen comforted me.

"Why did she commit suicide?" Yue Cun murmured.

Xu Xiwen thought that Yue Cun would know the reason for Chen Wenyi's suicide, but Yue Cun didn't know either.He pondered for a while, and said, “Did your wife do any unusual actions before she passed away?”

Yue Cun's eyes turned cold, "What do you mean?"

Xu Xiwen quickly explained: "I have a friend who is a celestial master, maybe he can help you."

Yue Cun knew that his wife was very superstitious about ghosts and gods, but he himself couldn't believe it, nor could he say he didn't believe it.He thought for a while and said, "Can I ask him to do a ritual ceremony for my wife?"

"This... I may need to communicate with him." Xu Xiwen didn't know whether Qin Yi would agree.

"Then I'll trouble you." Yue Cun patted Xu Xiwen's shoulder, "You're not bad, you might be more popular than me in the future."

"You're joking." Xu Xiwen smiled slightly.

Yue Cun snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "When I played with you, I felt like you were alone."

Xu Xiwen knew Yue Cun's answer, but he pretended to be curious, "Who am I like?"

"Xu Xiwen." Yue Cun looked at Xu Xiwen deeply.

Sometimes the people who know you best are often your opponents.Even screenwriter Yuan Di, who is Xu Xiwen's friend, just said that he looks like Fan Yunsheng.
