Chapter 144 The Culprit Was Right Beside Me
[The Night Movie Emperor personally helped Xiao Ai Ai establish her persona—amazing!]
【Are they taking advantage of my lack of education? And this talk of changing one's luck and destiny is outrageous!】
[Is it possible that it's true? After all, Ai Bao'er knows magic!]
[The person upstairs is wrong. Talismans belong to Taoism and should be called Xuanshu (mystical arts).]
Ye Jingke immediately understood Cheng Ai's meaning, and reached out to pat Zhong Zheyi on the shoulder. The latter was also a smart man, and understood after a little thought.
He took a deep breath and asked urgently, "Sister Xiao Ai, is Tian Tian's series of misfortunes also related to luck?"
Shu Tian looked up in shock, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.
“That’s right!” Cheng Ai nodded slightly, her gaze calm and unwavering. “Your fortune was originally excellent, but it was suddenly taken away by someone, and since then everything has gone wrong. You have encountered various disasters and even your life has been hanging by a thread!”
Upon hearing this, Shu Tian's face turned deathly pale, her whole body trembled, and she murmured in disbelief, "Who? Who killed me?"
She was constantly wondering what kind of deity she had offended to suffer such repeated setbacks, but she never considered that it was caused by human intervention.
After nearly two days of contact, Shu Tian has completely regarded Cheng Ai as her spiritual pillar, feeling that she is omnipotent and that every word she says is based on evidence.
I did suddenly start having bad luck, to be precise, it was after I changed jobs and started working at a new company!
“Although I don’t know who she is, you two are definitely connected.” Cheng Ai lowered her eyes and her eyelashes, her tone very certain. “Every time you are unlucky, the other person will be lucky for no reason. The key to breaking the deadlock is to find that person and then use the luck-stealing talisman to regain your luck. This process is extremely long and requires the use of a luck-changing talisman to succeed.”
Shu Tian's face grew paler and paler. She bit her lip, her pearly teeth digging into her tender, rosy flesh, her nails digging so hard into her palms that they almost drew blood.
Searching for someone without a clear goal is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there is no other way to go now, and there is only one chance. After all, the slightest mistake will take away the luck of other innocent people.
Looking at her heartbroken face, Zhong Zheyi felt a pang of pain in his heart and couldn't help but comfort her, "Sweetie, don't worry, I'll help you investigate when I have time. I'm sure I can catch the mastermind behind this!"
“I have excellent investigative skills and can provide you with clues.” Yun Panpan interjected at the right time, a smug look flashing in her eyes. “Before, some shameless little slut tried to talk to A Yao, and I dug up her ancestors for eighteen generations.”
Is Xiao Ai's theory about stealing luck reliable? Lately, I keep either stepping in dog poop or getting scammed; I desperately need to change my luck!
[Haha, look at Panpan's proud expression, I really want to teleport over and pinch her cheeks.]
[It's confirmed that Angel Brother likes Unlucky Sweetheart!]
[Brothers and sisters, I have some big news to report! Yesterday, Tian Tian fell into a ditch, and Qi Xingyue from Yue Dong Entertainment just happened to be cast as the female lead in a large-scale historical drama.]
[Holy crap! It's true! Not only that, she won the lottery, got a variety show role, and just casually twirled her hips on the street, and a big-name director called her to shoot a music video!]
The eyes of the masses are discerning. As soon as someone discovers a clue, they quickly transform into Sherlock Holmes, following the clues and piecing together all the recent events that have happened between the two.
Once compared, the conclusion gradually emerged: the ruthless villain who stole Shu Tian's luck was none other than Qi Xingyue!
Some observant netizens have even dug up information that the artists under Yuedong Entertainment are all in terrible shape. Basically, they are involved in scandals as soon as they sign with the company, then they are replaced, lose resources, pay breach of contract fees, and their careers plummet to rock bottom in just a few days, completely ruined.
Looking at Qi Xingyue, she quickly rose to fame in just half a year after entering the entertainment industry, her popularity soared, and she has clearly joined the ranks of top-tier stars, enjoying immense success.
According to reliable sources, she also wanted to switch to Shengding International, but coincidentally, Ye Jingke terminated a large number of contracts with artists, so she temporarily put it on hold.
Qi Xingyue is a big star with many representative works, but unfortunately, the award period had not yet arrived, and she did not receive any honors.
But this doesn't stop her from having many fans. As soon as they see their idol being attacked, they flock to the live stream to angrily scold Shu Tian and Cheng Ai.
Yuedong Entertainment's public relations team completely sided with Qi Xingyue, because in their eyes, Shu Tian was no different from a dead person.
As for Cheng Ai, ha, with the support of the Night Emperor, no one dares to mess with her!
But Shengding International didn't have so many scruples. Dare to insult my artist? I'll shut you up forever!
As a result, under the joint investigation by Bai Jing and the public relations department, comparison pictures of Qi Xingyue's deeds and those of other artists from Yuedong Entertainment were released one after another, sweeping across the entire internet.
Netizens' anger reached its peak, expressing utter contempt for Qi Xingyue and Yuedong Entertainment's actions. The trending topics list kept refreshing, while the trolls in the live stream, unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion, quietly withdrew and posted apologies.
The guests on "Dare" were completely unaware of all this, and they were still doing their best to comfort Shu Tian.
Yuan Yao patted his girlfriend's head and chuckled helplessly, "Panpan is great, but I'm not bad either. I remember once a jerk wanted to invite her to the movies, so I arranged for seven handsome guys to be with his mom, so his dad could taste what it's like to have his lover stolen away!"
Holy crap! You two are such a perfect couple, you've probably snatched all the bamboo shoots off the mountain!
[Pfft! Seven? That man's mother is so lucky, she can eat meat every day.]
[Sweetie, the bastard who framed you has been found! You won't quit the industry this time, will you?]
“I know many bloggers in the food circle. If Teacher Shu doesn’t mind, I can do my part.” Ouyang Yuze quickly expressed his willingness, his tone full of sincerity.
Yu Duo raised the crystal ball to eye level, "The gods will not stand idly by; Senior Shu, just wait."
Cheng Ai glanced at the sky outside, stood up, stretched, yawned, and said lazily, "I'm so hungry. I'm going out to find something to eat. Anyone want to come with me?"
Yuan Yao hugged Yun Panpan tightly, bowing his head in tacit understanding, the meaning self-evident; Ouyang Yuze rubbed his stomach, indicating that it was inconvenient for him to leave;
Shu Tian injured her foot, and Zhong Zheyi wanted to stay and take care of her; Yu Duo stared intently at the crystal ball, showing no sign of moving.
Ye Jingke was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He smiled slightly and said, "I'll go with you."
Cheng Ai poked the mushroom on her head, and a sharp pain shot through her. She immediately suppressed the smile that was creeping up her face, threw out a talisman, and waited for the blue defensive shield to envelop the two of them before stepping into the rain.
Why would Little Ai Ai, who can catch several animals at once, go to the trouble of leaving the camp to search for food?
[Normally everyone's on good terms, but when it comes to crucial moments, we still have to rely on Night Emperor and Ai Bao'er.]
The heavy rain had not stopped, and a fierce wind was blowing, causing the branches and leaves in the forest to sway back and forth like dancing snakes.
Cheng Ai stood in front of a big tree, spun around and released ten blue butterflies, which flew around looking for prey.
They returned quickly as usual, but the result was disappointing; apart from a pheasant and three wild duck eggs, there was nothing else.
