Chapter 64: The True Meaning Behind the Black Card
Editor: TheSloth
The fan meeting could be considered a success.
However, Tu Jiaqing panicked when she saw Ren Ziling halfway, who came back from the reporter’s seats. On the contrary, Ren Ziling waved to her and gave an encouraging smile, as if nothing had happened.
That was weird… Had she and Miss Shu agreed upon some conditions? Had she been bought off?
Tu Jiaqing did not dare to reveal anything.
At the end of the meeting, a staff member hurried over and whispered to the emcee.
The meeting that should have been brought to a successful end was suddenly interrupted.
…
“Di…Died?”
“Yes, Miss Tu. According to Mr. Wang’s oral testimony, you two might be the last people in touch with the decedent. We hope you can come with us to assist in the investigation.”
According to the policeman, someone had witnessed Miss Shu’s fall and called the ambulance straight away. Yet she had died before the ambulance came.
As for the so-called Mr. Wang, he was actually KingKong.
Tu Jiaqing didn’t know what to do. Right then, KingKong lowered his voice. “Mr. Lin said, keep silent, he’ll send people to deal with it.”
Tu Jiaqing couldn’t help but nod. She felt that her new life seemed to be a mess.
KingKong then glanced at the policeman. “We can follow you back to the police office, but we have a requirement. Miss Tu is a public person, hence we hope to settle this incident without any fuss, not letting those journalists know.”
The cop said, ” Sure, then how about we drive your car and take you back?”
KingKong nodded.
…
At the police station, Officer Ma muttered, “It’s rare to see you guys act so fast. You brought people back before the ambulance even left?”
The young policeman was helpless. “That’s all because of your wise decision, Officer Ma! Asking us to follow your sis…Oh, Miss Ren. She went there for an interview as well. We saw an ambulance, and couldn't just ignore the accident. Unexpectedly it turned out to be the secretary of the boss of Heaven Shadow Entertainment.”
“Did the big star say anything?” Officer Ma asked.
“No, she has kept silent the whole way.”
“Is it a suicide?”
“It’s hard to tell… We’re waiting for authentication. We’ve deduced the spot which she fell from and the evidence is being collected now. However, Tu Jiaya and her bodyguard have already declared that they met the dead person before she fell.”
“Continue your interrogation. If there are some new clues, then keep them, if not, then release them first,” Officer Ma said. “If you don’t set free these big stars, they’ll annoy you to death. F*ck! One after another, are they going crazy these days? The government said to create a more civilized society… keep requesting me to reduce the crime rate. Create your f*ckin ass!”
The young cop made as if he heard nothing.
Right then, Officer Ma’s phone rang abruptly. He glanced at the number and his face changed all at once, waving to his subordinate to close the door before leaving.
He hesitated for a while, before gritting his teeth and answering it at last.
“Hello, Little Ma!”
“…Yeah, it’s me.” Officer Ma gripped his hair, forcing a smile, “What’s the matter? Sister…”
“I heard a person died at Everlasting Heart Square today. What’s the situation? Suicide or homicide?”
“Play by the rules, sister, we can’t release any information before it goes public…”
But before he finished his words, a roaring voice gave to him from the other side, “F*ck you! Don’t mention that rule to me! You didn’t even pay me for getting you the information! Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Officer Ma had to coax her like she was his daughter, “Fine, fine, ok! But promise me, don’t simply write stuff… At least before it is revealed!”
“Say it!”
Officer Ma told all he knew.
Ren Ziling remained silent for a while before suddenly asking, “Did Tu Jiaya and her bodyguard say anything?”
“No. we’re still questioning them.”
“Inform me as soon as you get some information!”
“…OK.”
In the meantime, some people were questioning Tu Jiaqing and KingKong separately.
No matter the methods used in questioning, Tu Jiaqing clammed up… She didn’t know why Miss Shu fell from the building.
She dared not tell the police she was not the last one to meet Miss Shu, nor there was a third person---Ren Ziling.
Just in case Ren Ziling revealed… that her sister was addicted to drugs.
This would definitely be the worst case scenario, far more serious than those gossips. It could be regarded as a fatal blow towards ‘Tu Jiaya’, who was at her peak.
“I have no idea.”
…
…
Nevertheless, walls have ears. Someone died at Everlasting Heart Square and the big star, Tu Jiaya’s, car was seen driving to the police station. Both these messages made quite a stir on the internet.
This was because there were many onlookers at the scene of death. Some even took pictures of the dead body sneakily… She had been recognized as a staff working for the boss of Heaven’s Shadow.
The fan meeting had been halted, Tu Jiaya entered the police station, plus the secretary to the boss of Heaven’s Shadow passed away all at once.
Various kinds of gossip were spread by word-of-mouth.
But the initiator of this accident was roasting fillets attentively… Cooking ingredients in different ways to serve the club’s boss was also an important duty for the servant girl.
The fillets that marinated in white dry wine, emitting a light and fresh scent after being heated in the pan.
Ignoring all the annoying matters, Boss Luo was about to enjoy his meal. Right then, a shadow flew into the club, taking shape in front of Luo Qiu.
Black Soul No.9.
“Master, this is the information for the potential customers.”
Luo Qiu sized No.9 up and down. This was the second time which he provided customers’ information. Such a hard worker.
Luo Qiu picked up the white card from No.9, feeling the information hidden inside. He was a bit astonished. “Tu Jiaya?”
Black Soul No.9 nodded. “I met Tu Jiaqing by chance last time and found that she hadn’t made her decision; therefore I helped her out secretly. Now, she has successfully exchanged her identity with her sister. Hence I located the place where the real Tu Jiaya was hidden. She herself is in danger, thus her desire is quite strong. And I figured since she has such a strong will to protect her family members, the quality of her soul must be pretty high.”
Luo Qiu shook his head then, not knowing whether to laugh or get angry. “It’s you. That explains why what Tu Jiaqing wants is so… eccentric.”
No.9 gave a start, saying with fear, “Master, is there anything wrong?”
Luo Qiu shook his head again. “No. It’s normal to admire someone or dream to become the same person.”
“Then… what about Tu Jiaya?”
Luo Qiu considered for a moment. Then, with a wave of his finger, a black card suddenly appeared and was shot into No.9’s body.
It seemed that No.9 understood the meaning of the master, hence he left without saying.
You Ye took in the entire scene while holding the freshly roasted fillets.
The servant girl set the tableware carefully. Only after setting the sauce down did she softly say, “It’s been a long time since a black card with 4 stamps was seen.”
Luo Qiu looked at the ceiling. “The club obtains the precious items that human beings hold dearly through ceaseless deals. And I obtained some unbelievable profits from it as well. However, all these benefits come with a price. That if I was merciful, I could have put the choice ‘Doing good works’ first. But the problem is obvious. Before these transaction fees can be collected, my life will have come to an end already… In other words, I will die earlier than the customers.”
He gazed at You Ye, saying in a soft voice, “Apparently, I hold my life in high regard, to the extent that I would put myself before a stranger. Thus, this mercy, should not even exist from the beginning.”
Luo Qiu laughed at himself. “However, I’m not a heinous person. I have a sense of compassion sometimes. But if I indulge in this thought, allowing it to strengthen in my heart, I would feel pain when I see an increase in customers in the future.”
“I’m probably a person without heavy sentiment by nature.” Luo Qiu shook his head. “If one knows that the sense of compassion will bring him suffering, he should not be obsessed with it in the first place---Of course, saying and acting are two different things.”
Luo Qiu was quite clear. “So I need to use double standards to evaluate myself.”
Luo Qiu put a small piece of fillet into his mouth, chewing with care and saying after, “I think… this might be the reason why the black cards were produced in the first place.”
Chapter 65: No Choice but to Walk down the Path of a Devil
Editor: TheSloth
“Thanks for your help, yeah… Yes, they came out.”
The man talking on the phone while pushing car window curtains aside, staring at the people that came through the side door of the police station. “Next time, next time! OK, I will, OK!”
The man hung up the phone. At that moment, the door of the luxury van opened.
“Mr. Lin,” KingKong called with respect, looking at the man that was sitting in the car.
Lin Geng, 39 years old, unmarried, the boss of Heaven Shadow, who built up from nothing, and was one of the most successful young businessmen in the city. Heaven’s Shadow Entertainment had become more famous once Tu Jiaya started becoming well known.
Previously, it hadn’t been famous due to its small size, with only Tu Jiaya as the mere domestically well-known artist. However, the company would probably grow gradually due to the influence of Tu Jiaya, who was like the sun at high noon.
Tu Jiaqing was facing the boss of the company for her first time… She didn’t know how to react.
Beyond all doubt… Her sister becoming addicted to drugs must have had something to do with Lin Geng. And now, it meant Tu Jiaqing herself, had been taken control by him.
“KingKong, take the front seat… come in quickly. Are you going to stand there forever?” Lin Geng said indifferently.
The sentence was soft but the boss’s aura made one shake with fear. Tu Jiaqing lowered her head, hurrying to the back seat of the van.
The van went slowly, both were sitting opposite to each other. Tu Jiaqing didn’t dare to make a sound. Until the van turned into the ring expressway, Lin Geng asked her, “How did Shu Mu die?”
Tu Jiaqing got a fright, “I, I don’t know…”
“Hum.”
“I, I really don’t know how come.” Tu Jiaqing shivered with a pale face, “When KingKong came to find me, she… she was still alive.”
“What the hell about that journalist?” Lin Geng asked.
“She, she’s one of my university classmates,” Tu Jiaqing stammered this out. One of the few matters she knew about her sister.
“She did it?”
“I don’t know…”
After that, not a word fell from Lin Geng’s lips. He merely sized up Tu Jiaqing again and again, like an evil wolf, letting Tu Jiaqing feel like he could see through her whole body.
All of a sudden, Lin Geng threw a bag beside him to Tu Jiaqing, “Try it on.”
“What’s this?” Tu Jiaqing opened it to see without thinking and found it was a dark red evening dress.
She looked vaguely to Lin Geng but heard the words, “Didn’t you hear that? Try it on!”
“Here?”
Lin Geng didn’t answer her, but an impatient expression could be seen in his eyes. Tu Jiaqing felt like to say some words of refusal but became terrified after she imagined the withdrawal symptoms and any other unknown means Lin Geng might use.
She hesitated for a moment before turning around to change her clothes with incomparable shame.
Unexpectedly, Lin Geng closed his eyes instead of watching her, “I’m going to see a customer. He specifically told me he wants to see you. Remember, he helped me a lot in getting new connections. You’d better behave… It’s not the first time anyway, you should know what I mean.”
Tu Jiaqing was dumbfounded… She suddenly realized what a terrible life her sister had lived.
But at that time, Lin Geng said, “I heard from Harry that you had him weed out your sister’s demo several times. Is that true?”
“I…”
“Don’t do what you shouldn’t do.” Lin Geng opened his eyes now, “If I want to make someone famous, they will achieve it even without any artistic talent. As long as they have value, I’ll put money in making them successful. Are you aware of that?”
Tu Jiaqing lowered her head, keeping silent.
To her surprise, Lin Geng closed in and gave her a slap on the face severely. “Did you understand that?”
Tu Jiaqing covered her hand on the face, nodded in fright.
How could this be?
…
How could this be?
Tu Jiaqing felt as if she lost her soul. She did not know how she got off the van, nor how she came into the luxury suite of the hotel.
She looked at an old man coming towards her, whose face let out an obscene laugh. His body covered only with a towel.
“Oho, the actual person is really much more beautiful than the one in front of the camera. Lin Geng that kid is pretty good. Looks like it wasn’t a waste for me to recommend him to the Zhong Family.”
The old man caught both of Tu Jiaqing’s hands in one move, pressing her body down on the bed and lowering his head to kiss her lips.
“No---!”
Tu Jiaqing shook her body furiously, pushing the man down onto the ground forcibly.
“F*cking b*itch! How dare you?”
“Don’t come over… Don’t come!” Tu Jiaqing caught her clothes tightly, speaking restlessly, “Don’t come over here! I…I won’t do it, I won’t!”
“How dare you?!” The man also burned with anger, pouncing towards the bed without hesitation.
During the struggle, Tu Jiaqing grabbed the ashtray on the bedside table and smashed it onto the man’s head.
The man fainted with a scream.
His head was bleeding profusely. Tu Jiaqing looked at him at a loss. Her body shivered, wanting to run away.
…
…
“Master No.9, should we untied this lady?” Tai Yinzi asked in a submissive attitude.
In a basement that had been sealed up for a long time, two old ghosts were floating in the air, gazing at Tu Jiaya, who was constantly struggling on the ground.
“Stupid!” No.9 swore at him in a low voice, “If you release the restraints, she will feel more relaxed. Do you think it’ll be easy to tempt her soul after she regains control of her emotions?”
Tai Yinzi could only close his mouth.
Black Soul No.9 added, “Open her eyes and let her talk… In addition, laugh in front of her.”
Tai Yinzi gave a start, he didn’t understand what the hell was the laughter for… “Laugh?”
“Rubbish!” No.9 explained. “Your looks could be mistaken for a wolf or a ghost, hence able frighten human beings effectively. If she opens eyes and sees you, she will panic more. You just became a Black Soul, without any ability or knowledge. Plus you have been imprisoned for 500 years, which made you have no idea about the change in society, unable to catch up to the train of time! Therefore, if you want to have a good performance, you have to rely on your ugly face that is a menace to the public. Walk the path of a devil.”
Tai Yinzi… Tai Yinzi roared in his heart immediately, ‘You’re right the one that looks like ghosts or wolves! You and your whole families!
Tai Yinzi frowned, he obeyed it without caring whether it was right or not. He then loosen the bonds on both Tu Jiaya’s eyes and mouth.
“Beauty, I’m…” Tai Yinzi face was filled with smiles.
Unexpectedly, just as he was still talking, Tu Jiaya screamed in fright, ‘Ah, ghost!’… and fainted.
Tai Yinzi was stunned, and a new phrase he learned from the internet bolted out, “F*ck! This isn’t according to script!”
