Ji Heng drove to pick her up.
A silver car stopped at the entrance of the residential area.
He looked up—Di Jing Garden!
The big shot lived in such a luxurious place and still went to set up a stall every day. Her mindset was beyond ordinary people.
“Di Jing Garden…” he muttered, “Such a familiar place. My brother seems to live here. Will I run into him?”
Ji Heng shuddered. He didn’t want to see his cousin because Fu Jingyao was too extraordinary.
Since kindergarten, he had always heard of his cousin’s amazing achievements.
He skipped three grades, always ranked first in everything, earned 100 million at thirteen, dominated the business world at twenty, and had a net worth of over 100 billion…
Ji Heng just wanted to lie flat and be a happy underachiever.
Underachievers naturally felt a little scared when they saw top students.
He was only six years younger than Fu Jingyao, but there was a galaxy of difference between them.
Ji Heng was especially afraid of his cousin. In front of his parents, he could joke around.
But in front of Fu Jingyao, he didn’t dare to say a word.
That aura of a superior crushed him. He hoped he wouldn’t run into his cousin.
How could the big shot and Fu Jingyao live in the same place? Could there be something between them?
Ji Heng shook his head vigorously, “Impossible! Coincidence, it must be a coincidence. These two are worlds apart. How could they possibly be related?”
Lin Xi knocked on the car window, “What are you mumbling about?”
“No, nothing.” Ji Heng opened the door, “Big shot, get in quickly.”
Lin Xi sat in the back seat, closing her eyes to rest, “Let’s go. The sooner we catch the ghost, the sooner we can come back.”
“Okay.”
Ji Heng swallowed his saliva and drove towards the film base.
After getting out of the car, Ji Heng said as they walked, “Big shot, my friend is the director. He’s filming a suspense drama. A few days ago, he discovered that the film crew’s props kept disappearing. Then…”
“Young Master Ji!”
Ji Heng followed the sound, “Xiao Pang, long time no see.”
Director Lei excitedly waved, “You guys are finally here.”
Ji Heng looked him over, “Xiao Pang, you’ve lost weight.”
He and Xiao Pang were good friends and often played games together when they were kids.
Xiao Pang was a few years older than him. He didn’t like finance or inheriting the family business, so he ended up majoring in directing and entering the entertainment industry as a director.
This was his third film, *Mysterious Clouds*.
His first two films were well-received, and Xiao Pang won the Best New Director award.
Xiao Pang wasn’t chubby anymore, but Ji Heng still called him Xiao Pang out of habit.
“Xiao Pang, how have you been these days?”
Director Lei’s face stiffened, “Young Master, don’t call me Xiao Pang in front of others. It damages my image.”
Ji Heng pouted, “And you’re not allowed to call me Young Master.”
“Okay, okay, my Young Master.” Director Lei patted his shoulder, his gaze falling on the person beside him.
At first glance, she had exquisite features, fair skin, and an elegant temperament; she could be directly signed into the crew as the female lead.
Director Lei was surprised, “Xiao Heng, who is she?”
Ji Heng raised his chin slightly and solemnly introduced, “This big shot is a super powerful metaphysics master. She’s saved my life twice.”
“She is the number one fortune teller in the world, a contemporary living immortal, a divinely gifted expert, with extraordinary methods and superb magical skills.”
“Xiao Pang, no, Xiao Lei, you’ve cultivated for three lifetimes to have the good fortune to meet the big shot. Hurry up and bow to the big shot to show your sincerity.”
Lin Xi awkwardly covered her face. This kid was too good at talking.
Director Lei completely believed Ji Heng’s words, thinking it was a necessary ritual.
He immediately bowed ninety degrees, then bowed again, three bows in total.
Lin Xi raised her hand to stop him, “No need to bow. Let’s get down to business.”
Director Lei stood at attention, “Big Shot, I hope you can save my movie.”
“Just call me Master,” Lin Xi glanced at him, “Let’s walk and talk. I’ll take a look at the Feng Shui here.”
“Master, please.” Director Lei leaned closer to Ji Heng and whispered, “Master is so powerful, she also knows Feng Shui?”
Ji Heng proudly lifted his chin, “Of course, Big Shot is invincible, nobody can beat her.”
Director Lei looked at him with suspicion, a silly boy with good fortune.
“Where did you meet her?”
“None of your business.” Ji Heng lowered his voice, “I helped you out, that limited edition figurine is mine now.”
“Fine, fine.”
Director Lei felt a pang of regret, it was a limited-edition figurine, only ten in the world.
He knew that Xiao Pang and the young master didn’t have a friendship for no reason.
“What are you two whispering about?” Lin Xi turned around, “I’ve taken a preliminary look, the Feng Shui is fine.”
“Thank you, Master.” Director Lei breathed a sigh of relief, “Master, it’s like this, a month and a half ago when we started filming…”
He was directing his third movie, “Mysterious Winds,” and Director Lei was very confident in himself, this movie was bound to be a hit.
After filming began, everything went smoothly, but the props on set kept mysteriously disappearing.
Director Lei was furious, he ordered the prop team to keep track of all the props and log their whereabouts every day.
Seven days ago, the prop master rushed out in a panic, “Director, the props are flying, I saw the props flying by themselves…”
Director Lei didn’t believe his words, how could an inanimate object fly?
If his physics teacher knew, he would definitely have to relearn the subject.
“Believe in science, don’t talk nonsense.”
Director Lei continued filming, the props on set continued to disappear, especially the fluffy ones.
This suspense drama required many dolls to enhance the sense of horror.
One doll after another went missing, Director Lei felt something was wrong, who would steal dolls for no reason?
Could it be ghosts?
No, no, no, believe in science, believe in physics.
Director Lei had people buy props and continued filming, the venue fee was expensive, they couldn’t afford to delay even for a day.
Unexpectedly, something big happened.
Xu Lingyi, the actress playing the female lead, pointed to the makeup room and trembled, “There, my room, there’s blood, so much blood…”
Director Lei took a few young men and went in to have a look. The ceiling and walls were covered in blood.
He immediately called the police.
The police said it wasn’t human blood, but fake blood. They investigated for a long time but couldn’t find anything.
Director Lei had to speed up filming.
A day ago, Xu Lingyi ran out crying.
“Blood, so much blood… Someone pushed me from behind… Director, I’m not acting anymore, I’m not acting anymore.”
Director Lei sent her to the hospital and went into the makeup room.
The ceiling, walls, and even the makeup mirror were covered in blood, mixed with some bloody handprints, it was eerie.
He accidentally mentioned this to Ji Heng.
Ji Heng immediately said, “It’s a ghost, it must be a ghost.”
Director Lei scratched the back of his head, “Master, that’s basically it, I haven’t let anyone touch that makeup room, should we go take a look?”
Lin Xi had no objections.
The three of them walked side by side, the crew members looked curiously at the two unfamiliar faces.
“Who are the two people next to Director Lei?”
“Wow, that girl is so beautiful, she’s not inferior to Xu Lingyi, is she the new female lead the director found?”
“Heh! A newcomer wants to be the lead, who knows what tricks she’s played behind the scenes!”
Shang Qing snorted disdainfully, the female lead should have been hers.
Xu Lingyi left, and now there’s a newcomer!
The assistant smiled awkwardly, “Sister Qing, she’s just a newcomer, Xu Lingyi is timid, she refused to act, the female lead is definitely yours.”
Shang Qing’s eyes flickered, “You’re right, Xu Lingyi quit, the female lead is definitely mine.”
She gave a wink, “Go follow them, report back to me if anything happens.”
Lu Xiang nodded, “Sister Qing, I’ll do it, you can rest assured.”
Shang Qing said meaningfully, “Work hard, I won’t treat you badly.”
