As soon as Zhuang Yanru said that, Chi Shuyan interjected, “Miss Zhuang, I think there’s something wrong with Film Emperor Ruan. Why don’t you help examine him now?”

Sure enough!

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Ruan Shenglin’s manager immediately nodded in agreement. He couldn’t wait for Zhuang Yanru to immediately check and see what was wrong with Shenglin.

As for a drug addiction or whatever, he didn’t believe that at all. However, if it wasn’t an addiction, then what was wrong with Shenglin?

As for handing Shenglin over to someone else, Yang Kun didn’t have the slightest intention of doing so.

He had to be there.

Yang Kun had always been calm, but when he saw Ruan Shenglin convulsing on the floor, he was anxious and scared, and at a loss over what to do.

At that moment, Director Li saw Film Emperor Ruan’s condition worsen. He twitched and rolled around as he said that he didn’t deserve to live, and he had an addled look on his face. Director Li was about to nod and agree with Chi Shuyan, when Film Emperor Ruan, who had been in a daze just now, suddenly pushed Yang Kun away, stood up and ran to the balcony. Everyone else was a step slower, and they watched as Film Emperor Ruan looked like he was about to jump.

This action simply scared everyone witless.

Yang Kun, the film emperor’s manager, was scared out of his wits when he saw Shenglin’s actions. His legs turned to jelly and he fell to his knees directly as he shouted, “Shenglin!”

Director Li was also so scared that his face turned pale, and he cried out a few times. If something happened to Film Emperor Ruan today, would he still be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future? Would his film still be released?

Chi Shuyan was quick to stop Film Emperor Ruan. She decisively chopped down on his neck with her hand and knocked him out, then had Yang Kun and Xie Mingxuan carry him in.

Chi Shuyan’s actions naturally attracted Zhuang Yanru’s attention. She couldn’t help but probe, “Miss Chi, you’re good!”

Chi Shuyan could hear the probing tone in the other party’s voice, and she lied through her teeth. “My family didn’t like how weak I was, so they had me learn some moves for self-defense from an uncle who has some skills. It’s nothing!”

Zhuang Yanru couldn’t say that she did or didn’t believe Chi Shuyan. She just thought that the other party was an ordinary person who knew a bit of everything, and didn’t think much of her. Her eyes then fell on the unconscious Ruan Shenglin, and it was as if she was looking at a dead man. On closer look, there was a strange, gloating smile on her lips, as if she knew that Ruan Shenglin was about to die.

Chi Shuyan took in the other party’s actions without batting an eyelid. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the woman surnamed Zhuang in front of her was too strange. She couldn’t help but wonder if this Film Emperor Ruan’s run-in with evil was related to Zhuang Yanru.

However, it was clear that Yang Kun, the manager, didn’t know Zhuang Yanru. Film Emperor Ruan didn’t look like he knew her either; or, was Zhuang Yanru also a Celestial Master?

So, what was her objective?

As the thought flashed through Chi Shuyan’s mind, Zhuang Yanru carefully examined Film Emperor Ruan on the bed. Her movements were quite practiced, and it wasn’t long before she said that it was very likely that Ruan Shenglin was addicted to drugs.

As soon as she said that, Chi Shuyan looked pensively and closely at Zhuang Yanru, who was examining Film Emperor Ruan seriously not far from her. Right after that, everyone else stirred. Without waiting for the others to speak, Yang Kun couldn’t help but retort, “That’s impossible. It’s impossible for Shenglin to take drugs behind my back. He never touches those things, and he despises them the most. I’ve never seen him touch them either!”

Yang Kun looked around vigilantly as he argued. After all, Ruan Shenglin’s identity was very sensitive. Once news of a drug addiction leaked, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Not to mention Yang Kun, even Director Li and Xie Mingxuan didn’t believe it. They still believed in the character of this film emperor, Ruan Shenglin. They even suspected that this Zhuang woman was mistaken, and that someone had framed Film Emperor Ruan.

As someone in the industry, Xie Mingxuan knew that he should take his leave now that his help was no longer needed, so he took the initiative to tell Director Li he was leaving first. Director Li believed in Xie Mingxuan’s character and wanted to let him go, but when Yang Kun heard that Xie Mingxuan was leaving, he immediately revealed a wary and cold expression. It was still Director Li who spoke up and said to Yang Kun, “Manager Yang, this matter concerns Film Emperor Ruan. Can you still not believe me? I can vouch for Mingxuan’s character! Besides, it won’t do me any good if something happens to him!”

Sure enough, Yang Kun calmed down after Director Li said that. Although he was still a little worried, he couldn’t not give Director Li face now. Fortunately, Director Li had helped out tonight. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Seeing that Yang Kun was no longer acting aggressive, Director Li also knew that it wasn’t good for Xie Mingxuan to stay any longer. Mingxuan was smart and sensible, and was taking the initiative to leave to avoid making things any messier. Director Li thought of something, then said decisively, “Mingxuan, take this Miss Zhuang out first!”

Xie Mingxuan agreed. Before he left, Director Li specially instructed, “Mingxuan, you should know what and what not to say about tonight.”

When Director Li said this, he looked at Zhuang Yanru. How could Zhuang Yanru not know that Director Li was using Xie Mingxuan as a cover in order to warn her?

But Zhuang Yanru really didn’t think much of them. In fact, no one here was worthy of her attention. They were just ordinary people. Besides, to her, even if Ruan Shenglin was a film emperor, he was just a dying man. She had wanted to take him away earlier because she didn’t want his death to be too eye-catching. After all, his identity was too troublesome.

Now that it had come to this, forget it!

After all, Ruan Shenglin’s strange behavior tonight was too much like a drug addiction. Very few people would think that he was possessed. Even if they did, they might not necessarily believe it.

Thinking this, Zhuang Yanru relaxed.

However, Zhuang Yanru had always been cautious. Before she left, she couldn’t help but take a few more looks at the girl surnamed Chi on the side. This young lady gave her a strange feeling. She felt that she was too calm and was hiding her abilities. She realized that she actually couldn’t see through this young lady at a glance, which displeased her immensely but also made her feel a slight sense of danger.

However, thinking about how this Chi girl hadn’t done anything special just now, Zhuang Yanru forced herself to relax.

At that moment, Xie Mingxuan nodded. “Don’t worry, Director Li, I understand!” After saying that, he took Zhuang Yanru with him.

Zhuang Yanru still had some doubts about Director Li making her leave while letting the Chi girl remain behind. As soon as the two walked out the door, she couldn’t help but probe Xie Mingxuan. “Mr. Xie, is Director Li very familiar with Miss Chi?”
