B City, late at night...
The girl, her white dress stained with 'blood' at the hem, walked briskly along the quiet street.
Her long hair was a bit messy, spilling over her shoulders, her complexion so pale it lacked a hint of color.
At this moment, a couple, taking advantage of the nighttime shadows, hid in a street corner, busy with their affections.
When they saw the girl passing by, they were instantly terrified, their faces turning deathly pale as they screamed, "A ghost!" Then, they fled as quickly as they could in opposite directions.
Only then did Su Xingyue stop in her tracks, looking at the fleeing couple with a face full of helplessness...
"Is it really that scary..." she murmured under her breath, then pulled out a small mirror from her bag and looked at herself under the streetlight.
When she saw the girl in the mirror, with a face so pale it didn't resemble that of a living person.
Even she herself was startled...
She had been hiding out in this little place, filming for nearly half a month now.
Her role in the film crew was as a female ghost that appeared at night, so they often shot until well past midnight.
Because her residence was very close to the set and she was too tired, she thought to save time by going straight back to remove her makeup and take a shower, not expecting to frighten anyone like that.
Just as she put the mirror away and was about to hurry back, suddenly, a series of footsteps came from behind her...
And not from just one person.
The sudden footsteps startled Su Xingyue; her heart leapt, and she instinctively started to run!
However, before she could get two meters away, she was blocked by two strong men in black suits, both over six feet tall!
"What do you want..." Su Xingyue looked at the two men nervously.
Had she encountered robbers?
But they probably weren't after her for her looks, certainly... no one would harbor ill intentions toward her current appearance! Even the most indiscriminate of creeps would be scared off after seeing her face!
"Madam!" The two burly men bowed their heads, greeting her very respectfully.
Madam?
When she heard how the other party addressed her, Su Xingyue was taken aback, and then, suddenly remembering something... she panicked...
She gritted her teeth, pushed the two men hard, then swiftly ran across to the other side of the road!
"Don't let her get away!" Behind her, the voice of the burly men rang out...
Su Xingyue ran desperately, trying to take the chance to slip into an alley and shake off the bother behind her!
But who knew, just as she reached the mouth of the alley... a pair of headlights shone in her direction, followed by a black sedan driving fast, which came to a halt and blocked the entrance to the alley!
Meanwhile, several bodyguards caught up from behind and surrounded her.
She was trapped with nowhere to escape...
...
With a light sound, the car door of the rear seat opened, and a clean black leather shoe, without a speck of dust, touched the ground.
A tall and sleek figure dressed in a black coat stepped out of the car.
On that handsome face, which was both sharp and commanding, not a trace of emotion showed...
Those inky eyes, with a chilly gaze, fell upon her...
As he took in her ghostly appearance, his brows furrowed slightly.
His gaze was so piercing, Su Xingyue involuntarily shrank back a bit...
It was indeed him.
That face, she would never be able to forget in her lifetime.
Nan Yuling!
She held her breath, and in an instant, her expression grew taut with tension.
