Anran had never seen this expression of Fu Jinxiao’s before.
Even in his previous life, he never saw this. In fact, if Anran really asked himself, his memory of Fu Jinxiao seems to have always stopped at this image of Movie Emperor – the cool, rich, handsome, and polite actor. Even if their relationship was better for a period of time in his previous life, Anran always felt as if there was a thin veil between him and Fu Jinxiao.
Can’t get close to his heart.
In his previous life, he had already married off and established a business in the end, but Fu Jinxiao was still single. That person seemed destined to be lonely, and the person who could understand him and be accepted by him had never appeared.
In this life, Anran thought he could do it. But now, he suddenly felt that they were separated by thousands of mountains. When he felt that he knew Fu Jinxiao very well, he realized that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg. The man never took off his public persona. And once he took it off, he was so terrifying.
“…”
The audience in the live broadcast room were anxious to death:
[What’s going on, what are they talking about??]
[It’s too far away, I can’t hear them clearly.]
[But the posture is so ambiguous.]
[I still kowtow to Fu-ge despite liking Suisui more hehehe.]
Fu Jinxiao probably had enough scaring Anran, so he left. He turned on the microphone on his body again, and the cameraman behind asked where he was going now.
Fu Jinxiao simply answered, “Peach blossom forest.”
The forest was not blooming in autumn at this moment, and it was easy to see the tall tower and the staff standing downstairs when walking over it. The staff tried to stop Fu Jinxiao after seeing the place, “I’m sorry, Fu-ge, but you can’t go up this tower now.”
Fu Jinxiao stopped and raised his eyebrows at him. “The reason.”
“Because it’s locked now.” The staff explained, “So according to the regulations, you can’t go up now.”
Fu Jinxiao stood at the door, raised his head, glanced up casually, and happened to see the little yellow vest fluttering on the top tower. The bright clothes were fluttering in the wind, a very stark contrast to the serious-looking tower. It created a funny feeling.
He lowered his head and faced the staff. It was obvious that he was going to enter the door. The staff was guarding the door, but the staff obviously seemed much more nervous than him.
Fu Jinxiao’s handsome eyebrows were slightly curved, and he stood there calmly and naturally, with a kind expression on his face. “Really?”
The staff nodded nervously.
“Then has anyone told you…” Fu Jinxiao spoke slowly, but his voice was lowered a lot. The smile in his eyes deepened but hidden dangers, he still had the calm and undisciplined posture, but it was full of hostility. He smirked, revealing the arrogance within him, “I don’t like to be restricted by arbitrary rules.”
The staff was stunned speechless.
In recent years, Fu Jinxiao’s behavior has been low-key, always modest and polite. This made everyone forget that in the early years, he was also a willful young master who did not play cards according to common sense.
Fu Jinxiao scanned the tightly closed door with a little more interest in his eyes.
The staff subconsciously took a few steps back to cover the lock. Who knew that Fu Jinxiao didn’t do anything, but whispered, “Excuse me.”
Obviously the initiative is in his own hands, but when Fu Jinxiao gave such orders, the staff couldn’t help but obey his order. He moved away slowly, and obediently gave way to let Fu Jinxiao in.
Fu Jinxiao directly ignored the door, and jumped in through the window, with a chic and handsome movement, almost without any hesitation. Even the cameraman behind could not respond or keep up.
Fu Jinxiao waved at the dumbfounded staff outside, and turned around to leave.
The cameraman was carrying a huge camera, and looked at the gatekeepers outside. It took him a long time to say anything, “Can you open the door, I can’t get through this window.”
The Staff: “…Okay.”
Of course, the live broadcast audience was laughing at this scene.
[The Immortal’s treasure isn’t as good as whatever this is.]
[Hahahaha, poor staff member!]
[Oh my God, I’ve watched many shows that Fu Jinxiao starred in and never has he been this serious when playing a game.]
[Huh, now that you mention it, you’re right.]
Shen Xingsui was sitting on the floor. When he heard a movement outside the room, he was taken aback, and quickly asked, “Who are you?”
“It’s me.” Fu Jinxiao’s voice came from outside the door. The man stood at the door and asked, “Are you okay?”
Shen Xingsui was overwhelmed with excitement when he learned that Fu Jinxiao was here, and he stood up a little too excitedly, “Teacher Fu! I’m okay, I’m okay. It’s great that you can come, but this door seems to be locked from the outside!”
Fu Jinxiao said, “I know.”
Shen Xingsui said hesitantly, “Do you have the key?”
Fu Jinxiao took a rough look at this door. The wooden old-style door can be opened without any problem if you use force. However, the problem is that Taohuawu Town was an ancient town left over from history, and this tower was also a cultural relic. Regarding the issue of compensation, he still needed to treat cultural relics with a more protective attitude.
Fu Jinxiao simply replied, “No.”
Shen Xingsui was taken aback: “Ah, ah…?”
He really felt that Fu Jinxiao was omnipotent within his subconscious. He didn’t think that a mere lock could stop him.
Shen Xingsui was relieved that Fu Jinxiao was here, and just wanted to persuade him, “It’s okay, Fu-ge, the scenery here is actually pretty good. Why don’t you go first, when it’s later…”
There was a noisy “click-clack” sound on the door. Then a minute later, the door was unlocked.
The door of the room was slowly pushed open, and the man standing outside had a straight back, a stern face, and a gentle smile. He raised his eyebrows, “When is this later?”
Shen Xingsui: “?”
He was still a little puzzled, so he curiously asked, “Teacher, how did you open the door?”
“You mean this door?” Fu Jinxiao spread his hands and said, “It happened that a student gave me a small gift in school yesterday. This toy happened to have a copper wire inside, so I just took it apart and picked the lock.”
Shen Xingsui widened his eyes in disbelief after hearing this.
The audience in the live broadcast room was excited:
[???You have this skill???]
[Wait, is this all right?]
[Suisui and I were both shocked, okay?]
[This is illegal right.]
[Fu-ge is still Fu-ge.]
[Is this the advantage of being skilled?]
Shen Xingsui stammered before he stumbled and said: “You… too powerful, I, uh… that’s it.”
Fu Jinxiao said softly, “It’s just a low-level trick, I learned it to pass the time.”
“……”
It’s a good activity to pass the time.
Suddenly, Shen Xingsui had too many questions to pick from, he didn’t know where to start.
But Shen Xingsui still hastily said, “Thank you, I just hung the yellow vest on the window. I thought that if someone passed by and saw it, maybe I would be saved. I didn’t expect to wait for you. Thank you so much.”
“Huh?” Fu Jinxiao responded lightly, and hooked his lips up, “I didn’t just happen to pass by.”
Shen Xingsui was taken aback.
Fu Jinxiao’s dark eyes glanced at him, but he didn’t continue talking.
However, these suggestive words were enough to make people feel uneasy. After Shen Xingsui heard the words, he stood there stupidly, blinking his eyelashes, as if he was digesting the message.
But Fu Jinxiao still continued, “It’s hot in this room, let’s get out first.”
Shen Xingsui only came back to his senses, but he also quickly reacted and said, “Wait a minute, Teacher Fu, I discovered something in this room!”
The actor asked his eyebrows in interest. “Oh?”
Shen Xingsui was very excited about this. He came over and took Fu Jinxiao’s wrist, and pulled him to the window outside. He pointed to the scenery outside and said, “Look, from here you can see the appearance of the whole town. What shape do you think this town looks like?”
If they didn’t stand so high, it would be difficult to find out that the town is actually in the shape of a peach blossom. There’s a tall building as the centerpiece of the town, then from there, the shape of the “petals” were distributed out. It was beautiful.
Fu Jinxiao commented, “No wonder all the theme is peach blossom.”
Shen Xingsui nodded frantically, but this was not all he had discovered, so he took out the card and map he had found, and said very positively, “I’m very interested in this, so I looked at the map. I found something. Do you remember where everyone worked when we first arrived in the town?”
Fu Jinxiao has a very good memory, of course he remembered. He even recited them all.
“That’s right!” Shen Xingsui made the decision. He compared the locations of the part-time job with the town’s map. He pointed at the locations. “I found restaurants and bookstores, for example, are located directly at the petal’s center-point. Plus, when I visited the restaurant, I got this fragment and a peach blossom-patterned card. I can guess with confidence that all the fragments must have been hidden in our workplace!”
Fu Jinxiao twitched his lips after listening to his analysis, and nodded approvingly. “Not bad, very detailed.”
Shen Xingsui was so bored in the room that he was sweating all over, but under such circumstances, he did not give up on himself. Instead, he thought of a way out and a way to survive in this difficult environment; and at the same time found a solution to the original mission. The method, relying on these few things alone, was already very good.
This flash of brilliance was recognized by the audience, too.
[Suisui is so smart! I didn’t think of that.]
[The point is that he was the first to discover it!]
[Fuck, so exciting. Go get that assassin Anran!]
Shen Xingsui’s eyes were shining brightly, he was obviously very happy after getting Fu Jinxiao’s affirmation. With a smile on his face, he said, “Then can we go get the fragments, and then…”
Fu Jinxiao fully understood what he meant, and opened his lips to give a firm answer. “Revenge.”
Shen Xingsui’s smile was brightened even further. He nodded fiercely when he heard Fu Jinxiao’s words. “Then, let’s go!”
Once they got the clue, the speed of finding things was much faster.
After coming out of the tower, they found the fragment hidden in the bookstore according to the map. They already had three fragments gathered in their hands. On the way, Shen Xingsui was still discussing the plan with Fu Jinxiao, and happened to meet two other people.
Xu Qinke and Feng Fan have always kept a low profile, but they were still very excited when they saw Shen Xingsui.
Xu Qinke panted and said, “You guys, you have to be careful, we probably guessed who the killer is.”
They said a name together in unison: “Anran!”
Xu Qinke was stunned. “Ah, so you have already guessed it.”
“Well, I read the ‘young master’s’ diary.” Shen Xingsui nodded, a little dumbfounded. “Speaking of it, the process was actually rather tortuous and bizarre, but I guessed it in the end.”
Feng Fan continued his partner’s thoughts, “But what we deduced is that besides Anran, there should be another assassin.”
Shen Xingsui immediately said: “He has a younger brother, this person is his accomplice. Hm… maybe, he should be the youngest person among the guests?”
This made everyone think. Simply put, Shen Xingsui and Anran should be the youngest people among them.
But then, Fu Jinxiao sighed softly, and promptly saved the group of idiots who had strayed from their thoughts. “Why can’t the younger brother be Anran?”
“!!”
Ah yeah, that could work too.
Shen Xingsui, including the other two, looked at Fu Jinxiao with admiration, with an expression of both shock and awe written clearly on their faces.
Fu Jinxiao: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room were all happy when they saw this scene:
[Hahaha, there’s a mile difference between the king and the idiots.]
[If there is no Teacher Fu for this group of idiots, I am afraid that the whole guards will be wiped out.]
[The director team has worked hard.]
[Then, shouldn’t Fu Jinxiao be the MVP?]
After having the right idea, everyone finally could discuss with the right mindset. They summed up all the clues. It couldn’t be Shen Xingchen, who the staff didn’t know had a younger brother until recently. It couldn’t be Fu Jinxiao, the only child. It could only be Ning Ze, the one who escaped from their thoughts.
