Zhou Manqing’s expression turned stiff. The light in the bathroom was still flickering. She could feel the pain in her shoulder getting worse. Hearing the knocking on the door, she didn’t dare make a sound.
Her nails dug into her flesh.
Her face was stiff and filled with fear. She tried to stop her teeth from chattering, and she subconsciously looked into the mirror.
In the bright mirror, Zhou Manqing could clearly see what looked like a human hand with claws on her left shoulder. This hand looked a lot more distinct than before.
It seemed to sense her gaze, and suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it hung in the air.
It swiped at her stomach.
Zhou Manqing was so frightened that she let out a blood-curdling scream. The shrill scream echoed throughout the entire hotel.
The next day, when Chi Shuyan was flipping channels as she watched the news at the Qi residence, she suddenly saw entertainment news on Zhou Manqing. According to the news, Zhou Manqing had accidentally fallen in her hotel bathroom, and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
However, Chi Shuyan felt that the matter wasn’t so simple. She was deep in thought, when she received a call from Zhou Manqing’s manager.
This time, Zhou Manqing’s manager’s tone was much better than last time as she sounded almost reverent. “Master Chi, it was Manqing’s fault last time. I apologize to you on her behalf. She already knows her mistake. I wonder if you’re free today?”
On the other side, Zhou Manqing’s manager was afraid that Chi Shuyan would decline, so she quickly said, “Master Chi, we can discuss how much it costs, as long as you help Manqing resolve this matter!”
Hearing this, Chi Shuyan’s heart was slightly moved. However, when she thought of what Zhou Manqing said last time, Chi Shuyan curled her lip. “Miss Yu, I really can’t help Miss Zhou with this matter! Forgive me for being unable to help! I believe that if Miss Zhou is in her right mind, she would be willing to look for anyone but me!”
After saying that, Chi Shuyan was about to hang up the phone without another thought. Manager Yu was afraid that Chi Shuyan would really hang up, so she hurriedly shouted out a price. “50 million! Master Chi, as long as you can solve Manqing’s problem, it’ll be another 20 million on top of that!”
Xiao Gao had previously offered a price of 20 million yuan, and the price which Yu Rong was offering now wasn’t low. Chi Shuyan felt that the other party had to feel sore at offering such a price.
Indeed, Yu Rong could feel the pinch when she shouted out this price; she had practically shouted out half of Manqing’s annual income. However, when she thought about what happened last night and Manqing’s condition, Yu Rong felt that if Master Chi could really resolve this matter and it didn’t affect Manqing’s future path in the entertainment industry, it was still worth it.
Afraid that Chi Shuyan would directly hang up, Yu Rong hurriedly said, “Master Chi, Manqing really knows her mistake. If not for the fact that she’s been hospitalized and can’t get out of bed now, she would have visited you personally! Manqing’s words before weren’t true. Master Chi, don’t think too much. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
In truth, Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to leave this matter alone. If she did, wouldn’t she be watching Xie Mingxuan die?
Of course, she was also curious about what happened to Zhou Manqing in her previous life, as well as her unusual pattern of fate. Also, where had she gotten her sudden luck from? Was it Xie Mingxuan’s luck? Who was helping her behind the scenes?
What role did she play in Xie Mingxuan’s death?
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan decided to drop by first. “Alright. Since Miss Yu is so sincere, I’ll go and take a look!”
When Yu Rong heard Chi Shuyan’s words, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Yes, thank you, Celestial Master Chi, thank you!”
