Chapter Index

    The system was completely shut down by Chi Qingzhou’s annoyance.

    It has not yet detected any special energy from Chi Qingzhou himself, and its ignorance makes it not very afraid of Chi Qingzhou.

    But it was afraid of Xing Shuangzhan who lived in Chi Qingzhou’s shadow, so it could only end the topic quickly and lie down beside Chi Qingzhou’s soul with a sense of despair.

    Early the next morning, Chi Qingzhou arrived at Putao Terrace on time.

    Qi Ming had already arrived at the interview room with six cameramen. Chi Qingzhou walked in, looked around curiously, and greeted them in a friendly manner.

    There are a lot of people here today. Is it because the little gift he gave yesterday surprised everyone?

    The six cameramen’s backs were instantly covered with white sweat.

    They held the book on Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought in their bags and nodded at Chi Qingzhou with difficulty in response.

    Qi Ming secretly observed from the side for a moment and didn’t see anything wrong, except that the lighting in the interview room was not very good today and needed some additional lighting.

    He spoke to the cameramen, and soon staff came to install the fill lighting equipment.

    Chi Qingzhou glanced at the position of the ceiling lamp and smiled gently and sweetly.

    Qi Ming thought Chi Qingzhou would at least ask why he had to re-record, and he even prepared a bunch of perfunctory excuses, but he didn’t expect Chi Qingzhou to not ask anything.

    Chi Qingzhou did not refuse to answer even the questions he had asked in the interview yesterday, and still gave answers that were consistent with yesterday.

    Still so straightforward, yet so annoying.

    Qi Ming was surprised and couldn’t believe it.

    He exchanged glances with the cameramen repeatedly, and received feedback from the six people that the filming was completely normal and there was no problem with the video. He almost couldn’t suppress his excitement.

    It seems that yesterday was just an accident!

    He will be fine, and the task assigned by Mr. Xiao Chi can be completed smoothly!

    Qi Ming tried hard to maintain a calm expression and changed the subject very abruptly, asking Chi Qingzhou about his criteria for choosing a partner.

    Without waiting for Chi Qingzhou to answer, he immediately added: “It is said that you are in a passionate love affair with someone outside the circle recently. Does that gentleman meet your standards for a partner?”

    The so-called “it is said” actually came from the black material revealed by a well-known dog some time ago.

    This person claimed that Chi Qingzhou was in a relationship with someone outside the circle and released a secretly taken photo as evidence.

    The photos are very clear.

    When he was photographed, Chi Qingzhou was handing a box of beautifully packaged biscuits to the man sitting opposite him. His head was tilted to one side, and because of the shooting angle, his expression seemed a little shy.

    The man opposite him had a blank expression on his face. He held the gift box with his hands, and his whole body showed silent rejection.

    As soon as the photo was released, it immediately attracted a lot of ridicule.

    Judging from the posture of those people outside the circle, who would believe that they are in love?

    Netizens laughed at Chi Qingzhou for being shameless, but netizen analyzed the background of the photo and found out that the photo was taken outside the high-end villa where Chi’s family lived.

    His original intention was to mock Chi Qingzhou for sticking with a rich man, but he didn’t expect that it would soon attract the attention of Chi Qingning’s fans.

    Several big fans asked the studio and confirmed that the so-called outsider in the photo was Chi Qingning’s fiancée , and it went viral instantly.

    They rushed to Chi Qingzhou’s face like crazy and cursed at him.

    It is disgusting enough to harass someone else’s fiancé. When this happens between an illegitimate child and a legitimate child, and the illegitimate child is very likely to go to the other person’s door to block people, it is even more disgusting N times!

    Passersby didn’t expect the melon1 to be so big. They were surprised for a while, and the news spread everywhere.

    Chi Qingzhou looked at Qi Ming with some surprise: “Why would Teacher Qi think so? I’ve said before that I just want to be friends with him.”

    If you must have a relationship, wouldn’t it be better to have one with Xing Shuangzhan?

    This is his rarest friend and the one he has known the longest, and the most important thing is that he has always been very good to him.

    It was a pity that the other party refused to be friends with him, and he could only watch with regret as the other party’s soul became more tangled.

    He really didn’t have any friends of this kind before.

    Qi Ming pretended to listen attentively, but after waiting for a long time, Chi Qingzhou only said this one sentence, which was equivalent to no explanation at all.

    He was confused for a while, and slowly realized why Mr. Xiao Chi asked him to ask Chi Qingzhou this question yesterday.

    Does this mean that Chi Qingzhou has no way of clarifying the matter?

    Perhaps Chi Qingzhou really had harassed Chi Qingning’s fiancé, which was why he was completely unable to deny himself and could only say dryly that they were just making friends.

    Otherwise, whether you lie or make any other excuses, you may be beaten to death by Mr. Xiao Chi and the other party involved.

    But Chi Qingzhou is really brave, no wonder Mr. Xiao Chi hates him so much.

    Lamenting in his heart how complicated the relationships in rich families were, Qi Ming continued the interview while confirming with the cameramen with his eyes.

    The six cameramen reviewed their previously filmed footage one by one, and except that the light was still a little dim, everything was the same as it had happened.

    It didn’t disappear, nor did any strange scenes appear.

    Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief and finally a genuine smile appeared on his face.

    Chi Qingzhou looked at Qi Ming’s happy expression and curled the corners of his lips happily.

    The shadow under his feet quietly expanded outward, and a face that looked exactly like his emerged from the darkness, its eyes turning slightly and falling on several cameras.

    Then, he showed a well-behaved smile.

    After the single interview and re-recording was completed, Chi Qingzhou’s assistant took him home.

    Qi Ming checked the video again in the interview room, and returned to the studio with six cameramen with a happy smile on his face.

    As soon as the director saw his expression, he knew that today would be a smooth day.

    “Is the matter settled? I thought it would be useful to bring books on Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought.”

    Qi Ming said with a smile, “It’s mainly because Chi Qingzhou cooperated well. I checked it specifically, and there must be no problem with the materials this time.”

    The director nodded and asked someone to call the editor: “Then get it done as soon as possible. It will be officially announced tonight, and Mr. Xiao Chi needs to see the edited trailer this afternoon.”

    He casually called a cameraman, took the memory card, and planned to personally figure out how to edit it to better meet Mr. Xiao Chi’s requirements.

    The laptop ran very quickly, and after a few dozen seconds,the image began to play.

    This time the recording started with the staff placing the fill light equipment. Chi Qingzhou was on the left side of the screen, with his hands on his knees, waiting for everyone to finish their work with a well-behaved expression.

    Everything is normal.

    Qi Ming started the interview again only after the staff left the camera one by one.

    Chi Qingzhou smiled once again, and two sweet dimples appeared on his cheeks. His hazy peach blossom eyes were dark and mysterious, revealing an unearthly aura that did not seem human.

    Qi Ming danced in front of him, shouting “You are unprofessional”, “You are wearing counterfeit goods”, “You are seducing someone else’s fiancé”, and he wanted to poke the rolled-up paper document directly into Chi Qingzhou’s eyes.

    Chi Qingzhou remained motionless and kept smiling, as if he didn’t feel threatened at all.

    However, on the ground, his shadow was huge, twisted, and weird.

    Like some ferocious ancient creature, it was shaking excitedly, and from time to time it would stretch its limbs around.

    “Fear was like ice, flowing into everyone’s veins.

    They froze in place, their teeth chattering.

    The director’s hands were shaking, and after a long while he suddenly came to his senses.

    He jumped up from his chair like a madman, roared and rushed to the other five cameramen, snatched the VCR and watched the playback.

    “The other videos are normal, right? They must be normal! They must be!”

    He flipped through the videos frantically.

    This copy is exactly the same as the one on the computer.

    The same goes for this one.

    This one is still the same…

    The director lost his strength and slumped back into his chair.

    The six cameramen kept shaking as if their hands were burned, and for the first time they couldn’t wait to throw their precious cameras on the table.

    Qi Ming rolled his eyes stiffly and tried to pull the corners of his mouth, but he couldn’t do it.

    He felt the chill run cold to the bone.

    The Siberian north wind blew into every bone in his body, making him stiff.

    The light in front of his eyes suddenly became much dimmer, as if the sky had suddenly become cloudy.

    But, isn’t the light on in the office?

    Snap.

    There was a slight sound of wood cracking.

    The last bit of blood color faded from Qi Ming’s face. He panicked and grasped the Buddhist beads on his wrist. A crack appeared in the middle of the bracelet.

    At that moment, his heart was broken.

    Two of the three fires on his body were extinguished in an instant. Before he fell headfirst, he seemed to see a face that he would never forget.

    With a grim look of resentment, the female ghost slowly crawled out from behind him, revealing a hateful smile.

    “Qi Ming, give me back my life!”

    The night was dark, Qi Ming was walking in the cold wind in a thin shirt, shivering with cold.

    The road is sparsely populated. On one side is a construction site that has just started construction, and on the other side is a long green belt.

    The dim street lights flickered slightly, and a wild cat passed by the green belt,meowing faintly.

    There were few stars in the sky. Qi Ming looked up and wanted to stop, but he couldn’t control himself.

    He knew he was dreaming.

    The scene in front of him was very familiar. Three months ago, on a night like this, he drank too much at a social event and accidentally hit a female student on his way home.

    He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, sobered up immediately, and crawled out of the car.

    The girl who was hit by him was covered in blood, but she was still conscious. With timely rescue, there is a high chance that she will survive.

    He took out his cell phone with trembling hands, and just before dialing 120, he saw the girl’s appearance clearly.

    He knows this person.

    Lu Yao.

    The younger sister of Lu Man, the gold-medal host at Putao TV.

    In an instant, fear and guilt vanished, replaced by a surge of dark thoughts.

    What about this pair of siblings?

    The older brother had only been at the station for two years, yet he had already become the top host. He had always been one step ahead, forcing him to lose countless opportunities to climb up.

    The younger sister is always running around, even causing him to have a car accident. Perhaps she did it on purpose to bring him bad luck?

    Unable to suppress the growing urge for revenge, he turned off his phone, strode back to the car, grinned, and slammed his foot on the accelerator

    Amid the roar of the engine, the young woman’s painful whimpers and cries echoed for a long time, eventually fading into the cold wind.

    Lu Yao was dead.

    Death by dragging.

    When the car stopped by the Yan River, Qi Ming slowly woke up as the river breeze blew.

    The fear of murder overwhelmed him. In panic, he abandoned the car and Lu Yao’s body and stumbled back home.

    He thought he would be arrested by the police the next day, but to his surprise, several days passed and nothing happened.

    Having a vague premonition, he used his connections to check the surveillance footage of that section of road. As expected, on the night of the incident, all the surveillance cameras on that section of road had problems and no images were left.

    The car he left at the scene was completely deformed by a dump truck and fell into the Yan River and disappeared.

    Existing evidence shows that he did have a car accident, but it had nothing to do with Lu Yao.

    He is also a victim.

    Seeing this result, he couldn’t suppress his inner ecstasy and screamed for a long time at home.

    This is not the only happy event.

    Because of Lu Yao’s death, her brother Lu Man took a long vacation to attend her funeral, and the host position of the popular “Scenery Along the Way” last season was left vacant!

    While muttering “This is Lu Man’s blessing”, he worked hard in the station and finally got this resource.

    He thought that from now on he would surpass Lu Man and become the real number one.

    Until these two days when I was interviewing Chi Qingzhou, strange events occurred frequently.

    Fear burned brightly in Qi Ming’s eyes.

    The sound of the engine was so harsh in the silent night that he realized what was going to happen next.

    But he was powerless to stop it.

    The sound of cars was getting closer.

    With a loud bang, he was knocked to the ground.

    Pain shot through his body like wildfire, intense and overwhelming, but he couldn’t scream, couldn’t even make a sound. His vision was drowned in blood, everything around him bathed in red.

    A pair of high heels stopped in front of him and the woman let out a creepy laugh.

    He wanted to beg for mercy, but all he got in response was the roar of the engine and his own screams in pain.

    His limbs were twisted and deformed, and he cried bitterly in extreme pain, begging for the torture to end soon.

    But this is just the beginning.

    He will relive the pain and fear of dying over and over again in his nightmares.

    A little after 8 o’clock in the evening, Chi Qingzhou finished his work for the day and opened Weibo amid the constant nagging of the system, preparing to forward the official announcement of the “Scenery Along the Way” program team.

    However, the official Weibo account that was originally scheduled to release a preview at 3 pm has not been updated so far, and fans of the guests and the show are all asking what happened.

    The official Weibo account pretended to be dead and refused to come forward.

    More than 5 hours passed, and fans began to get anxious and angry, but the production team was still pretending to be dead.

    The comment section was immediately filled with curses, with some people deliberately leading the topic to Chi Qingzhou.

    Where are the program crew? Where are the people? 】

    【Is Chi Qingzhou not the plague god? 】

    【What exactly went wrong? Can’t you at least come out and respond? 】

    【It’s better to have problems sooner or later. As soon as Mr. Chi joined the program, there were problems. Could it be that he is making trouble again? 】

    【My brother finally gets the chance to be on a variety show, please don’t postpone it! 】

    The system felt inexplicably relieved and said loudly: [Host, the program is definitely planning to use you as a shield to shirk responsibility this time. I told them that they had bad intentions, but you still didn’t believe it! 】
