Chapter 34: CH 26.3

Just then, a person from the laboratory came out and gave him the test results, looking very excited.

“Where did you get this? This is a toxin that has not yet been released to the public. We won’t be able to analyze its composition in a short period of time but if the structure of this toxin gets published, I’m sure it’s going to win an international award!”

An unknown poison would mean that modern forensic doctors would not be able to identify enough evidence from the victims to prove that they had been poisoned. Such poisons had been used in movies and dramas, but in real life, it would be hard to make, not to mention the antidote. 

If it could not be found, the cause of the sudden death of the victim could be assumed to be heart attack due to unknown factors. If the effects of the poison could be delayed, the suspect could walk away free before the poison could do its work and make the perfect alibi…

It all makes sense…

Xie Ling’s tall body suddenly lost its balance. Zhou Xiang immediately came forward to hold him, but Xie Ling immediately motioned him to stop. “I’m fine.”

Deep inside his heart, he never wanted to get such a devastating result.

Early the next morning, Rong Jing received an unexpected call from Wu Hanqi. He told him that he arrived late at the hotel last night and was grateful to know that Rong Jing had let him use the hotel’s presidential suite. However, in order not to disturb Rong Jing’s rest, he decided to invite Rong Jing for breakfast after the night passed.

Everything was normal until he said the words with a smile before he left, “Now, do you still want to be this uncle’s bride?”

Those words left Rong Jing speechless, making Wu Hanqi give out a hearty laugh before he fully went away.

Gu Xi thought that he wouldn’t be able to sleep well. However, he didn’t expect to find Rong Jing sleeping next door, and because of that, he felt relieved. Because of the good quality of his sleep, he felt so much better the next day.

Though he was still a bit weak and sore because of his heat, he remembered that there were auditions for ‘Imperial Power’ today. He planned to make a trip to the audition and then come back to continue to catch up on sleep and rest.

The first day is especially important since the important roles are going to be decided on this day then the rest will just go through the motions.

He opened his door, fully alert, and looked at Rong Jing’s room. When he saw no movement, he sighed. It would have been embarrassing to run into him again.

He took a taxi to the venue of the audition but noticed something vaguely when he got off. When he looked around, there were only pedestrians and cars coming and going. He would always feel like someone was watching him, a sixth sense that he acquired since childhood.

However, as he continued to look around, he didn’t see anything suspicious.

He shrugged then walked into the venue. The production team made a big splurge this time and especially rented a venue, which also served as some kind of promotion in the early stage of the making of the movie.

The hall was full of flowers. There was even a big rose bush in front of the entrance. Sounds of awe could be heard from the people around.

“Wow, how many flowers are in there?”

“I heard from the flower delivery staff that there were 9,999. Now I know how big an area can 9,999 flowers occupy.”

“Who’s it for? That’s too much. Anyone who gets that would be moved to death.”

“It’s for Gu Xi, of course. Only Gu Xi can receive that many flowers.”

“The sender didn’t even put their name on the card, only wished for the casting to go well. Is this some kind of clue for us, maybe it’s a big boss of some company?”

“But didn’t the director say that Gu Xi wouldn’t come for a while?”

“Then he wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. That’s too bad. That big boss sent the flowers for nothing.”

Since the release of ‘Lou Ta’s 365 days’, Gu Xi had been receiving flowers everywhere he went, and everytime, it would be a bunch of red roses. At first, he thought the sender was an avid fan. However, it became strange when it was even sent to his doorstep. He had always wanted to move into a residence with better security once he got a better income.

These flowers did not move him, instead, it scared him. It gave him the fear of being followed.

Gu Xi simply looked at it before walking away from it as he wore his sunglasses, and went straight to the audition room. Director Liu Yu was discussing something with the assistant director and screenwriter about the actors’ profile. He froze for a moment when he saw Gu Xi, “Didn’t you say you were taking a week off? You don’t have to worry about the audition, I’ll take care of it.”

Though he said that, Liu Yu knew Gu Xi’s concerns. Gu Xi was an actor who first debuted as an idol. He had never once filmed an intimate scene. He had always taken roles for drama or supporting roles which didn’t need to include any kind of intimate scenes.

However, this movie included a lot of intimate scenes. Some are even a bit explicit. Of course, since Gu Xi was an Omega, some scenes could be filled in by a stand-in.

In the past, Gu Xi wouldn’t take up a project that included intimate scenes. However, the two of them had already worked together before, and they were both satisfied with the script of the movie. Without the intimate scenes, they knew the movie would play out quite badly, so it was really important. Under Liu Yu’s persuasion, Gu Xi reluctantly agreed.

This is why Liu Yu understood why Gu Xi would feel concern about his co-lead’s role. Gu Xi knew that to be a professional actor, playing such roles was unavoidable. However, in his first time filming, he was taken advantage of by Alpha actors. The camera wasn’t even able to capture it. Like many other newbie Omega actors, he had no one to turn to, no place to go to. This experience gave him trauma.

“I won’t stay long,” Gu Xi smiled gently. Those staff around that were unfamiliar with him all held their breaths as he smiled, and stared at him.

“Alright. But you came just in time. Actually, a few people I know recommended several candidates. There are also some people from the Film Academy, even from the acting department. You can all see them today.”

The people gathered around to look at the candidates’ information sheet. The assistant director saw a certain person’s information sheet and frowned, “I’m going to have to say no to this person. Simply his presence is enough to insult professional actors.”

The rest of the people took a look at what he was looking at. They simply agreed since there was no reason for them to offend an assistant director. They had no reason to defend an insignificant candidate.

Gu Xi casually glanced at the paper. However, his eyes stopped when he saw the name on the paper.

Rong Jing?

The person in the photo had a different aura, however, he knew that face well. It was definitely that person.

Gu Xi was silent for a while. However, seeing that no one objected to what the assistant director said and that Rong Jing’s information sheet was about to be tossed away, Gu Xi asked to let him see the information sheet.

The assistant director was very fond of a dedicated person like Gu Xi and so he gave the crumpled paper sheet to him.

Gu Xi saw the big red cross the assistant director draw on the paper. This person was known to be very strict. If he doesn’t like an applicant, the applicant most likely has done something that he didn’t like.

Gu Xi flattened the wrinkled information sheet and said calmly, “He may have done something bad before, but it’s normal for rookies to have a flaw or two. You can’t just turn away from them because of that. It’s not a bad idea to give them a chance first.”
