Luo Yingbai cried painfully, trembling: “Please…” “Your entire family’s lives are in my hands. Only by pleasing me can you save their miserable lives!” Xia Xianning pinched the delicate chin, coldly commanding, “Sit on top. Move yourself.”
At this moment, the door suddenly opened…
The door really did suddenly open.
Luo Yingbai, shocked, was startled by this perfectly timed sound effect. His hand trembled, dropping Xia Xianning’s phone onto his nose.
Xia Xianning walked in carrying food, wearing sportswear. Seeing Luo Yingbai, he had a slight smile, about to greet him. But seeing Luo Yingbai holding the phone and covering his face, he quickly ran to the bedside, grabbing his wrist: “What happened to your face? Let me see!”
“It’s nothing.” No physical pain could match the mental shock. Luo Yingbai, ignoring the pain on his nose, quickly swiped to close the page.
For some reason, he was terrified of Xia Xianning discovering what he’d seen, like Bluebeard’s secret room. Luo Yingbai worried that these messy things might represent Xia Xianning’s second personality.
Luo Yingbai laughed nervously: “It’s nothing, your phone just hit my face… You changed clothes? I thought you went out naked…”
Xia Xianning: “…You’re this happy about getting hit in the face?”
Luo Yingbai secretly glanced at the phone screen, relieved that he’d closed the fan forum, and said: “Here’s your phone. Xiao Gou called earlier.”
Luo Yingbai looked particularly good in his ancient costume. Xia Xianning was about to take a screenshot when he saw Luo Yingbai gently waving his folding fan and saying to Zhou Junyi, “This prince has come to marry you.”
“
Xia Xianning: “…”
Even if he was a bit slow, he knew the original script would never have such lines. It was definitely Luo Yingbai’s own modification. He remembered that Luo Yingbai had said something similar to Zhou Junyi last night during filming, though the lines were more subtle. Xia Xianning hadn’t thought much of it then, but now, combining this video, he suddenly understood the meaning.
Xia Xianning ground his teeth.
Luo Yingbai saw that the living Xia Xianning was normal and hadn’t mutated, feeling relieved. As he was about to drift back to sleep, he felt someone tugging at his blanket.
He mumbled drowsily: “I won’t get up, you go eat…”
After a moment’s pause, the blanket was forcefully yanked again, and Xia Xianning forcibly lay down in Luo Yingbai’s bed, wrapping them both together.
Luo Yingbai suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could fully wake up, he was embraced by Xia Xianning.
Oh my god, save me!!!
Luo Yingbai hurriedly tried to get up from the bed: “I’m getting up, I’m getting up, I’m getting up. Let’s talk nicely, don’t use force, Xianning!”
He was pressed back into the blanket.”
Chapter 87: Battlefield of Carnage
This day, the summer court had no morning assembly. The officials took the opportunity to slack off, and the entire Special Investigation Unit maintained a relaxed atmosphere until an incident in the afternoon forced them to call Xia Xianning back.
The car drove towards the hospital. The car radio played high-pitched music, broadcasting the highlights of entertainment news.
Today’s headline was a bombshell – the newly wrapped-up film’s lead actor Zhou Junyi and screenwriter Gai Xiaohun had collapsed in the same hotel room and were now discovered and sent to the hospital.
The case was reported to the public security bureau. When Gou Songze called, he hadn’t fully understood the situation. Luo Yingbai listened to the news, relieved that they weren’t seriously hurt, and said, “Fortunately, they’re okay. From what Xiao Gou said, it seems the bone witch is at work again. But Zhou and Gai have already broken up, and they claim to have encountered the bone witch without being ultimately attacked.”
Xia Xianning, driving, said, “Anyway, since they’re fine, don’t worry. The Weibo mission is already complete, right?”
Luo Yingbai replied, “Yes, it’s complete. But this matter definitely needs to be handed over to the Special Investigation Unit.”
Even if we caught one bone witch last time and another is still out there, she shouldn’t be so brazenly appearing in such a short time.”
Gou Songze was pushed staggering by him, letting out a “Hey” and looking like he was about to strike back. However, Xia Xianning swiftly moved to block in front of Luo Yingbai, asking Gou Songze, “What are you doing?”
Gou Songze immediately backed down, stammering, “Just playing around, just playing.”
Xia Xianning usually protected Luo Yingbai like a wolf guarding its food. Everyone had seen his declaration of protection. But he couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination – Gou Songze felt he seemed especially fierce today. Had something happened to put him in a bad mood?
Luo Yingbai swaggered out from behind Xia Xianning, bumping Gou Songze with his shoulder, but ended up pushing himself back a step. A certain unspeakable part of his body was subtly aching. With everyone watching and his dignity at stake, Luo Yingbai gritted his teeth and endured, maintaining a stiff smile as he leaned forward to look at the pile of items on the table.
There was a mess of sexy lingerie, with even a massage device sitting beneath a pair of bunny ears.
Luo Yingbai: “What… is this?”
Wei Shou, who had just finished coordinating with the municipal bureau, understood the situation and explained, “Senior brother, these were all searched from Zhou Junyi and Gai Xiao’s room.”
According to the first responders, there were drinks with aphrodisiacs in the room. But because of these items, they can’t immediately determine if one party was a victim or if they had mutually agreed to play around – they’ll need to wait until someone wakes up to clarify.”
Xia Xianning’s face darkened, and the special investigation team members fell silent, almost uniformly shrinking their necks, afraid of being caught in Xia Xianning’s gaze and facing another merciless reprimand.
Xia Xianning said, “We’re working right now. What kind of behavior is this…”
Luo Yingbai: “Cough, Xianning, I actually want to research this. To understand the case, this is necessary.”
Xia Xianning, who had always treated Luo Yingbai differently, was full of tender feelings and completely accommodating. His voice softened when speaking to Luo Yingbai: “Okay. Don’t bend over, I’ll pick it up for you to see.”
“No need, I can look myself.”
Luo Yingbai, seemingly sensing everyone’s inner commentary, spoke earnestly, “But while looking is fine, getting this excited about these things isn’t right. Junior brothers, we are cultivators. While we might not completely abstain, we should be pure-hearted. At least pretend to be composed. Learn from me – I’m seriously investigating the issue.”
Wei Shou, standing at the front and bearing the brunt, said shamefully, “Senior brothers are right… though I didn’t really look…”
At this moment, a nurse came to tell them that Zhou Junyi had awakened.
Zhou Junyi was truly entangled in troubles. He and Gai Xiao had encountered the Bone Ghost Woman. The fortunate thing was that the Bone Ghost Woman, for unknown reasons, had merely frozen the surrounding walls and did not launch a final attack.
So while both had fallen into a coma due to the cold, their physical conditions remained stable with no life-threatening issues. Upon hearing Zhou Junyi had awakened, Luo Yingbai, who was closest to him, went to the hospital room.
He knocked on the door, heard “Come in”, and entered to find Zhou Junyi sitting up in bed.
His body seemed fine, but his expression was quite dejected, apparently shocked by recent events.
Luo Yingbai sat by the bed and asked, “Brother Zhou, are you okay?”
