Ruan Shenglin was too agitated to notice Director Wang – he didn’t know what Director Wang was saying.
On the side, Yang Kun’s face was whiter and uglier than Ruan Shenglin’s, and his whole body trembled. He almost screamed. If he didn’t know that Master Chi was present, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t lose his composure.
Only when Yang Kun saw that Shenglin’s face was almost as white as his did he regain some of his senses. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and did his best to say a few mindless words to Director Wang. After Director Wang left to do other things, Yang Kun couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat again when he thought of the Buddha statue. He looked terrified and wanted to say something, but didn’t dare. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of the Buddha statue out of the corner of his eye, Yang Kun was so scared that he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Shenglin was beside him and grabbed his arm, so he didn’t make a fool of himself.
In the end, Yang Kun squeezed out with difficulty in a shaky voice, “Sheng… lin, what… what the hell is going on?”
Could it be that the Buddha statue was haunting them?
Thinking this, a big man like Yang Kun simply wanted to cry.
There was also a possibility that the Buddha statue in this village was just a coincidence, and that it was completely different from what the Qin woman had given them before.
Yang Kun really hoped it was the latter.
Yang Kun couldn’t be sure for a moment. Seeing that Ruan Shenglin didn’t move or respond, he became even more worried. Thinking of how Master Chi was at the scene, he hurriedly said, “Sheng… Shenglin, Master… Isn’t Master here? Why don’t we hurry and find…? Let’s hurry and ask her. Maybe… this is just a coincidence and a misunderstanding!”
Ruan Shenglin took a deep breath and his face tensed up. He could only hope that it was a misunderstanding and a coincidence.
Not far away, Chi Shuyan watched as the crew finished worshiping the Buddha statue before the villagers carried it away. Her solemn expression didn’t change at all.
Qi Zhenbai and Feng Yuanlin, who had never really seen this black Buddha statue, had some guesses when they saw Shuyan’s change in expression. Of course, even if they didn’t have any idea, that Buddha statue just now gave them a very strange feeling.
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan had seen the black Buddha statue before, but only in small sizes. This was the first time they were seeing such a big one. Apart from its size, it really didn’t look much different from the strange little black Buddha statues they had seen before. The two couldn’t help but report to their boss in a low voice.
Qi Zhenbai’s eyes also darkened.
Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Shuyan, that Buddha statue earlier…”
He looked at Shuyan and saw her nod without saying a word. He wanted to ask further, but Qi Zhenbai said forcefully, “We’ll talk when we get back!”
Feng Yuanlin thought about the chaotic environment and atmosphere around him and nodded. If there really was something wrong with that Buddha statue, and everyone in this village believed in it… Feng Yuanlin’s heart inexplicably sank.
They were about to leave, but Feng Yuanlin didn’t expect to have such bad luck that he would run into Qin Qing in a remote village.
Almost as soon as he turned around, Qin Qing’s familiar and gentle voice rang out behind him. “Yuanlin, why are you here?”
Feng Yuanlin’s body stiffened, and Chi Shuyan and the others looked at him.
Feng Yuanlin realized that even Zhenbai, who never gossiped, was looking at him, but in the blink of an eye, those cold and sharp eyes looked right at the woman who was walking over shamelessly.
Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but want to bellow out loud, and his eyes filled with obvious disgust.
Their relationship had been very good several years ago, and he never thought that things would change one day. Now, he saw the Qin woman for who she really was. Even putting aside whether or not she really had cheated on him, when he learned that Qin Qing was related to this black Buddha pendant and had deliberately given it out to cause harm, he wished he had never met this woman, and hated himself even more for being blind back then. This woman had probably been hiding her true face all those years when he was with her, and he had never noticed.
It was a good thing he had broken up with her.
So, even if Qin Qing was dressed very nicely at that moment, Feng Yuanlin was as immovable as a mountain, and didn’t look at her much.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t want to greet this woman at all, nor did he want to be entangled with her anymore. This woman had always said that she was pregnant with his child, but had not given him any proof. He was now afraid that she would cause trouble again.
Feng Yuanlin’s tone was very indifferent. “Miss Qin, you’re here too? I still have something on, so I’ll leave first!”
With that, Feng Yuanlin itched to take Shuyan and Zhenbai away.
Chi Shuyan and Qi Zhenbai knew the inside story and Qin Qing’s true colors, but Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan only knew that the woman in front of them was their boss’s ex, and they didn’t know at all why they had broken up. Seeing that their boss couldn’t wait to leave immediately, they couldn’t say much. They just thought that their boss was embarrassed to see his ex-girlfriend.
But Director Feng’s ex-girlfriend was good-looking, and so were her friends. Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan couldn’t help but take a few more looks and sigh. As expected of people in the entertainment industry, they had very outstanding looks. Of course, the two of them had a tacit understanding: No matter how good-looking Qin Qing or her friends were, they weren’t as good-looking and exquisite as Master Chi.
Feng Yuanlin wanted to escape and didn’t want to have anything to do with Qin Qing. Unfortunately, she had come prepared this time and was quite thick-skinned. After Feng Yuanlin refused, her face didn’t change at all. She even deliberately took the initiative to introduce them to her two friends, Du Lan and Ke Mingmei.
The two of them were quite famous celebrities of the new generation, especially Du Lan, who was the second female lead in this movie. It could be said that she was in the limelight. After this movie was released, her net worth would probably double again.
So, Du Lan looked at them with a very picky and arrogant expression. She didn’t understand why Qin Qing had brought her to see this group of ordinary people.
