Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser-Chapter 1801 - Old Liang Family Residence, He Liuqing's Scorn

1801 Old Liang Family Residence, He Liuqing’s Scorn
Manager Huang was stupefied by Du Zhong’s incoherent and strange words, especially when they became more and more outrageous. One moment, he said that Xiao Ying was dead, and the next, he said that Zhou Chengfei wasn’t human. For a moment, Manager Huang wasn’t sure if Du Zhong had been scared silly by this late-night horror variety show. He was also glad that this kid was on the phone with him in his room, given how offensive his words were.

As for talking to the production team about the breach of contract, Manager Huang didn’t want Du Zhong to leave the show at all. Instead, he wanted Du Zhong to continue filming. It was almost halfway through filming, and Du Zhong would return in two days. It might not be wise or worth it to pay damages now and offend the media platform.

Manager Huang initially wanted Du Zhong to get closer to Film Empress Song, but saying this now was useless; Du Zhong was in a hurry to leave the production team.

In the end, Manager Huang could only continue to appease Du Zhong; he said that he hadn’t been able to negotiate with the production team about the penalty for breaching the contract. Give him a few more days, and he would pick Du Zhong up for sure when he was free. Of course, Du Zhong didn’t want Manager Huang to only come in a few more days. He was in a hurry to go back now, and even said that if Manager Huang didn’t pick him up, he would go back himself.

Manager Huang was furious and scared out of his wits. He hurriedly advised earnestly, “Ah Zhong, you also know that before you went on this show, the agency saw your potential and worked hard to push you in. Now that you’re forcefully breaching the contract, not to mention the production team, even our President Yang won’t let you off. Even if you don’t want to film anymore, you have to wait for the agency’s response first, right? When the agency recommends a suitable replacement, we’ll switch you out right away. Don’t worry, I’ll go and discuss it with President Yang in a day or two at most!”

As soon as Manager Huang said that, Du Zhong smashed his phone in exasperation. Still, he stayed obediently in his room. He made up his mind to stay another night. No matter what his manager’s reply was tomorrow, he would leave this place, even if his agency blacklisted him.

Du Zhong felt powerless and pained when his manager didn’t believe him. Manager Huang had a connection with He Liuqing. He also wanted to build a relationship with her, so he specially called He Liuqing. After exchanging pleasantries for a long while, he began to probe about what had happened to Xiao Ying.

He Liuqing quite liked Du Zhong and his manager. The two of them were quite sensible. Before they came to film, Manager Du Zhong had given her a lot of benefits and said a lot of good things. The two of them weren’t stupid, and Manager Huang didn’t explicitly say that he wanted to create hype between their artistes. He and Du Zhong only took advantage of Yanru’s popularity every now and then, which was within limits. So, He Liuqing didn’t hang up right away, and explained Xiao Ying’s disappearance to Manager Huang.

In He Liuqing’s opinion, Xiao Ying wasn’t missing at all, but had a deathwish and suddenly went off on her own. Manager Huang heaved a sigh of relief. Although he hadn’t believed his artiste’s words earlier, he had still been shocked by them. He was really afraid that something had happened.

“Sister He, nothing happened when you were filming the variety show, right? For example, something strange and scary? Could there really be a ghost in the old Liang family residence?” Otherwise, why would Du Zhong be so scared?

He Liuqing was speechless and scoffed at Manager Huang’s strange and superstitious words. She sneered. “Do you still believe in such rumors and superstitions at your age? Did he say something? Did Du Zhong say something? It seems that kid doesn’t have a good head on his shoulders. Did he go to university or not?”

Manager Huang was rendered speechless by these mocking words. Could it be that it wasn’t because of the rumors, but because the games organized by the production team were too scary?

He Liuqing was no longer in the mood to talk to Manager Huang, and said impatiently before he could ask anything, “Okay, I still have something else to do. Let’s not talk about it for now. If I run into Du Zhong when I’m free, I’ll sort him out.”

When Manager Huang heard this, he was very grateful and no longer pursued the matter. The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before He Liuqing hung up.

She went to find Song Yanru in the next room. She happened to hear Yanru say that when they were playing games tonight, she had to remember to bring Chi Shuyan with her.

He Liuqing was very unhappy, but seeing that Yanru was insistent, she didn’t say much. She made up her mind to watch and not let that little girl steal the limelight.

The target of He Liuqing’s vigilance, Chi Shuyan, only now found out about Xiao Ying’s disappearance from Qi Hao, who had just come back from gossiping with Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, and told his sister-in-law about it.

“Xiao Ying is missing?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Mm, Sister-in-law, it’s really strange. Fang Yu said that he saw Xiao Ying in Zhou Chengfei’s room last night. I didn’t expect her to go missing today. It’s really strange!” When Qi Hao mentioned Xiao Ying’s disappearance, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
“What else did they say to you?” Chi Shuyan asked.

Chi Shuyan nodded and said nothing more.

Qi Hao couldn’t help but gossip. “Sister-in-law, what do you think happened to that Xiao woman? Did she run into danger? How on earth did she die?”

Chi Shuyan hadn’t had much contact with Xiao Ying. Everyone filmed at night, and Song Yanru hadn’t asked Chi Shuyan to go along, so she had yet to see much of anyone else. She stayed in her room most of the time, so she didn’t know much about Xiao Ying. However, that didn’t stop her from guessing that Zhou Chengfei was most likely involved in Xiao Ying’s disappearance.

Who knew what he was!

While Chi Shuyan was deep in thought, He Liuqing and Song Yanru both sent messages asking her to come along to the filming tonight.

She replied with one word: “Okay!”
