Half an hour later—Shi Wuzhou—
Bai Yuejie clenched the note she had just found at Shi Lingyan's bedside, her heartbeat uncharacteristically fast.
She was certain that Shi Lingyan hadn't found the note; otherwise, he wouldn't be so composed.
Because... this was undoubtedly Tang Wu's handwriting.
Yet, three years ago, the genius lead singer who had been at the height of her fame suddenly fell, and much of the entertainment industry mourned her. To this day, those frenzied fans and media still stir up news about her.
This person was already dead; she couldn't possibly be sending texts or writing this note!
It had to be someone playing a prank!
But who would be so bored as to do such a prank?
Cold sweat streamed down Bai Yuejie's forehead, and an inexplicable chill encroached from around her, as if someone was about to leap out from behind her the next second.
"Bang!"
A sudden noise startled Bai Yuejie into a shiver.
Looking towards the noise, the partially closed vintage European door had somehow opened, and a small head with a radiant pale face peeked through. Those bright, large eyes stared at her, emanating an almost sinister glow, meaningful yet strangely mocking.
Caught off guard by such eyes, Bai Yuejie trembled violently and screamed, "Ah!"
"There really is a woman here!" came a man's voice, tinged with surprise but then feigned anger, shouting, "This Shi Lingyan is really indecent; to think he's messing around outside even though he's married!"
The ajar door was then flung open!
Two middle-aged couples and two young people.
The young ones were a man and a woman.
The man was Bai Yuejie's university classmate, Shi Yunchang.
The other was a young girl.
Though it was already autumn, the girl wore a pink, fluffy bunny pajama set. The hood connected to her top covered her head, and the droopy bunny ears were conspicuously visible.
Her entire body was tightly covered, revealing only an overly pale face.
Without any makeup, her natural appearance was as if meticulously crafted by the heavens.
Especially those big, bright eyes, curiously looking left and right with an innocent and confused expression, timidly hiding behind a woman while observing her.
Seeing this, Bai Yuejie already had an idea.
This must be the rumored fool.
However, unnoticed by others, the fool's eyes turned icy cold when she saw Bai Yuejie. Seeing her look back, she quickly lowered her gaze and resumed her usual naive and oblivious demeanor.
Shi Mei thought, Bai Yuejie was still the same as before.
Her presence seemed untouched by the mundane world, her clean and slender appearance complementing her perennially pale skin from her heart condition.
"Yuejie?" Shi Yunchang took a breath upon seeing Bai Yuejie, the joy in his eyes momentarily vanishing, "You actually..."
Shi Yunchang didn't finish his sentence; people behind him had already rushed into the hallway.
Startled, Bai Yuejie hurried forward, trying to stop Wang Quanxia, who was charging ahead, but it was too late.
The master bedroom's door was thrown open, and inside, the large bed was a mess, with spotty and blotchy marks mingled with dry bloodstains, clearly indicating recent events!
The dripping sound from the bathroom undoubtedly signified a man's post-satisfaction bliss!
