1617 Something Happened to the Driver
Chi Shuyan came back to her senses, got up, and nodded at Yan Zhengming to indicate that she had asked most of her questions. She saw that Yan Zhengming was a little smug, and his face was bright. It seemed that the matter was almost settled. “Did you sign him?”
Yan Zhengming immediately nodded and had someone send the contract over. However, thinking of the Master’s exhortation just now, Yan Zhengming hurriedly said, “Master, don’t worry. The contract conditions aren’t harsh at all. Given what you said, I gave him the best contract to sign. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!”
Chi Shuyan could also see that although Yan Zhengming had the potential to be an unscrupulous businessman, he was indeed a good person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said anything just now. The middle-aged man she had pointed out indeed had very good luck. In the future, the box office sales for his films would always be good, and his first stroke of good luck would happen in the next few days.
Yan Zhengming didn’t know about this yet. A few days later, the ‘newbie’ whom he had just signed suddenly called and told him that a director had taken a fancy to him and wanted him to play the male lead in his latest movie. Yan Zhengming was stunned.
When he met the director in person, he discovered that he wasn’t some ordinary major director, but the internationally renowned Director Yang, who had won the Palme d’Or Award several times.
Only then did Yan Zhengming understand why the Master had said that the man he had just signed was lucky and that Yan Zhengming probably wouldn’t be able to reel him in if he waited half a year later. Only then did he realize how awesome and how much potential this ‘genius’ whom he had picked up recently had. In particular, this ‘genius’ would continue to set box office records again and again in the years to come, to the point that Yan Zhengming could just lie down and count money until he got tired of it, as he hit another peak in life.
Only then did he finally understand the true meaning of Master Chi’s words. He was filled with gratitude for what she had said and also lingering fear at the possibility of not listening to Master Chi back then. But that was a story for later.
Chi Shuyan parted ways with Yan Zhengming. Just as she got into a taxi, her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan glanced at the screen and picked up the call.
“Brother Feng!”
“Shuyan, aren’t you coming in today?” Feng Yuanlin asked.
“Brother Feng, I’m headed to the hospital first to clarify some things. We’ll talk about the rest later!”
“Wait, Shuyan, that’s not all. Why are you going to the hospital?” Feng Yuanlin asked.
Chi Shuyan didn’t hide it from Brother Feng and told him that she planned to go to the hospital to see the driver. She hadn’t planned to riffle through his memories, but today, she changed her mind. She vaguely felt that this driver knew something. This matter was also related to Yuan Yuan. As long as she saw the driver’s memories clearly, her doubts might all be resolved.
“Shuyan, I just received news that the driver died!”
“What?” Chi Shuyan frowned.
“The driver had initially been rescued last night, but for some reason, he was sent to the operating room for emergency treatment again, and couldn’t be saved. The family is making a fuss in the hospital now, and I’m here. It’s best if you don’t come over now. It’s a little troublesome!” Feng Yuanlin pinched the space between his eyebrows and frowned.
Chi Shuyan ignored Brother Feng’s exhortation and immediately said that she would head over now.
When Chi Shuyan got to the hospital, the driver’s family was still making a fuss. A few police officers were directly holding them down. Their faces were filled with dismay. Things should be settling down.
Feng Yuanlin spotted Shuyan from afar and immediately had his men hold the family back. He wiped his sweat and walked over to Shuyan. “Shuyan!”
“Brother Feng? What on earth is going on?” Chi Shuyan asked.
Only then did Feng Yuanlin recount the matter in detail. Once it was clear that the driver couldn’t be saved, his family kept hounding the hospital for compensation and didn’t want to pay the medical fees. They said that he had been fine last night. The doctor had also told them last night that he was fine. Who would have thought that something would happen to the driver again in the middle of the night? This time, he didn’t survive.
It could be seen that this family’s situation wasn’t good either. They were being unreasonable and didn’t want to pay the medical fees, but still wanted compensation?
The hospital was helpless, plus the family was out of control. They could only be detained for the time being and then sent to the police station to have the fear of God put in them for a bit.
Chi Shuyan still couldn’t believe that something had happened to the driver again. She frowned and said, “Brother Feng, can you take me to see his body?”
“Sure!”
The two chatted as they walked. Chi Shuyan asked about Yuan Yuan, and Feng Yuanlin said that Yuan Yuan was in good spirits, but was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital; there was nothing unusual about the rest of her behavior.
Chi Shuyan nodded.
The two quickly arrived at the hospital morgue. Chi Shuyan saw a body covered in a white cloth. She walked over and removed the white cloth to reveal the dead driver. His face was deathly white and his whole body was stiff. She also saw that livor mortis had started to develop on the body.
It seemed that he had been dead for some time.
After examining the body, Chi Shuyan took a strand of hair from the other party’s head before she covered him again with the white cloth.
Seeing Shuyan’s actions, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Shuyan, this is…?”
“To summon the soul! There are some things I want to ask! But I’ll have to wait until tonight!”
