After searching through her contact list, Liu Qi realized that she didn't have anyone she could reach out. Excluding her relatives and Shen Nanxiao, she only had an account with the name Nannan whom she hadn't contacted for many years. After all, she didn't like making friends.
Frustrated, she opened Weibo again and saw the announcement of the Nanfeng production team.
She clicked on it and saw that the content was about getting new investment which covered the loss due to the previous withdrawn funds. It also announced that Lu Xue would become the new female lead.
"Miss Liu, it's Lan Lan. Have you gone to bed?"
Lan Lan's voice came from outside the door, but she didn't knock.
"No, come in. The door is unlocked," Liu Qi sat up and said to the door.
Crack!
Lan Lan pushed the door open with one hand and held a cup of hot milk with the other. She walked to Liu Qi's bedside with a smile and explained, "I saw that the light is on, so I bring you some warm milk to help you sleep."
As she spoke, Lan Lan placed the milk on the bedside table.
"Thank you." Liu Qi was about to pick it up and drink it when she suddenly thought of something. Just now... she seemed to have seen something in the announcement of the Nanfeng production team!
Incredulous, she returned to Weibo to check. It was indeed Yun Qi's White Goose Entertainment.
"Shen... Shen Nanxiao! Shen Nanxiao, you can't invest in Lu Xue!" Liu Qi started shouting. She put on her shoes and ran out.
Puzzled, Lan Lan quickly followed. Seeing Liu Qi running to the third floor, she had no intention of following her.
"Shen Nanxiao, Shen Nanxiao," Liu Qi shouted as she ran. Shen Nanxiao lived on the third floor, but Liu Qi had no idea which room he lived in.
With a click, a door opened, but Liu Qi had already run to the other end. Hearing the door open behind her, she quickly turned around.
But...
"I'm sorry!" Liu Qi covered her eyes, but she spread her fingers and looked through the gap.
Shen Nanxiao only had a towel around his lower body. His hair was wet, and crystal drops of water were dripping from his hair, flowing down to his chin, down to his collarbone, and down to...
Ugh... GULP!
She swallowed loudly. She had never seen such a scene before. It was really amazing. Shen Nanxiao's figure was so good. He looked much more muscular with clothes off.
His abdominal muscles were just perfect.
Shen Nanxiao had been in the shower. When he heard Liu Qi calling him anxiously, he thought that something had happened, so he ran out without getting dressed.
"What's wrong?" Shen Nanxiao asked. He knew it was inappropriate, but he was worried.
Cough! Cough!
Liu Qi cleared her throat and put down her hand.
She walked towards Shen Nanxiao as if she did not see anything inappropriate. It was no big deal, so she must not panic!
The closer she got, the wilder her eyes became.
It seemed that this girl did not have any urgent matters. Moreover, what kind of gaze did this girl have? Exasperated, he said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he closed the door. The lights in the corridor were a little dim at night. It looked blurry, and her figure was somewhat hazy.
Finally she bumped into such a scene, but she now could stare at the door.
Tsk, I don't want to look at his figure at all, Liu Qi thought.
Shen Nanxiao didn't make her wait long. In half a minute, the door opened again. Shen Nanxiao had put on a gray silk robe, and a white fake pocket decorated the chest.
He had dried his hair with a towel, but it was still damp. There was concern on his handsome and cold face.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Shen Nanxiao asked as he pulled Liu Qi into the room.
Shen Nanxiao's room was very simple. Under the white lighting, she saw a high-end gray quilt, black furniture, and the bathroom glass that was dripping with water at the innermost end of the room.
Sitting down by the bed, Liu Qi took out her phone and pointed at the Weibo of the Nanfeng Qu production team.
She said unhappily, "The female lead is Lu Xue. Shen Nanxiao, you even invested in her!"
"You don't like her?" Shen Nanxiao asked again. Judging from Liu Yue's incident, he knew Lu Xue was not a good person.
"No, I don't like her. Even I would be better than her to play the female lead," Liu Qi muttered.
Shen Nanxiao glanced at the screen and focused his gaze on his little girl. Hearing what the little girl said, he said, "Okay."
"Ah?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Then, she shook her head and said, "I can't do it. I was just joking."
"I can make Lu Xue not be the female lead, but that won't make up for the loss."
"Why?" Liu Qi asked curiously.
She met Shen Nanxiao's meaningful eyes and suddenly understood. Then, she stared at the phone screen and thought for a while.
What Shen Nanxiao said made sense. The announcement had already been made. If Lu Xue could not be the female lead, then... the pressure of public opinion would be on Liu Yue. It was really not worth it.
Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Shen Nanxiao comforted her, "Now that Liu Yue is at the center of the storm, I can't make things worse. Also, I'm going to North City for a business trip at the end of the month."
"I know, but I still..." Before Liu Qi could finish her words, her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Shen Nanxiao in excitement. She held his arm with both hands, and her eyes seemed to be shining.
Before Liu Qi could speak, Shen Nanxiao saw through her thoughts and replied, "Okay."
"Really? Then can I join the production team to take a look? I want to visit my sister," Liu Qi asked. Afraid that Shen Nanxiao would not agree, she shook his arm.
"Okay, as long as you want, there's nothing that can't be done," Shen Nanxiao agreed without any hesitation, then, he said, "Nanfeng Qu is looking for someone to play the second female lead. Let Wu Feng arrange it. If you can beat the candidates, it would be the best."
Liu Qi listened and already had a plan. She understood Lu Xue. She wanted to help Liu Yue, which would also be a sweet revenge on Lu Xue.
"Shen Nanxiao, you're the best!"
The little girl leaned forward slightly and kissed the man on the cheek with a peck. In the next second, the person who had messed up his heartstrings ran to the door and said good night.
"Good night." Shen Nanxiao sat for a long time before he got up and closed the door.
Liu Qi, who had returned to the room, already had a plan. It just so happened that she was going to the North City, which would also make Nangong Shu think that she was really trying to help him raise money.
She wasn't a police officer or a detective. Since the evidence wasn't that easy to find, destroying Nangong Shu was her goal.
Liu Qi also didn't believe that Nangong Shu had only committed this one crime in his life. Roland was a tax evader and should have been shut down a long time ago!
Suddenly, Liu Qi's heart sank. She remembered that at the beginning of her third year of marriage to Nangong Shu, something that shocked the entire country had happened.
A lot of obscure actresses who had been missing for a long time were found by the police. However, what they found were broken bodies!
Coincidentally, most of the actresses were or had been Roland's employees!
At that time, Roland was ridiculed by netizens as a hell company. There were even voices demanding to investigate the Roland Group. However, Roland was untouched by the incident.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Liu Qi felt a chill down her spine. She picked up the milk that was already cold and gulped it down. However, she felt even colder. It was just pure fear and shock!
However, she could not let her imagination run wild when there was no evidence.
The place where the bodies were dumped was an unknown island! As for the exact location... she did not pay much attention to it at that time. If she were to search now, would she find many people who were still alive?
But where should she start?
