Chapter 312: Chen at the Bottom of the Well

Chapter 312

Lan Tianyou was helped to the side to rest. Fortunately, the red mark was just a fleeting pain. After icing it for a while, it went away.

But this bizarre incident still shocked many people, so much so that the way many people looked at Nan Xiangwan began to seem odd.

Gu Beihuai gave a scientific explanation. The principle was simple: it was just the wind.

When Nan Xiangwan drew her sword at a certain speed, it would create a gust of wind. When the power and speed of the wind reached a certain level, it would take on the shape of a blade and have some killing power.

But not only did people not listen, they even started joking around.

"Did you hear? Nan Xiangwan is cultivating immortality!"

"Really? Is it the kind of cultivating immortality I know about?"

"Really! Someone saw it with their own eyes. She was flying on her sword and then crossing the heavenly tribulation!"

"What the hell..."

At first it was only spread within the crew, but as the rumor spread, the whole Science Fiction City began to spread it!

Feng Kaiji came back the next day.

He had it bad too. A group of people ganged up on him and beat him. Not only was he thrown into jail, but he was also the one who started the fight.

So he got a good lecture!

When Feng Kaiji came back, he was still injured and in a terrible mood, feeling wronged.

The neighboring crew was just too inhumane!

A whole group of them beat up him alone, and then they falsely accused him first!

Damn it!

Feng Kaiji was so angry that he almost wanted to tear the neighboring crew apart with his bare hands.

As he hurried to the crew, still fuming, people kept greeting him along the way.

"Morning, Director Feng! Your crew with the immortal cultivator is awesome!"

"Director Feng, is your crew's immortal cultivator there?"

"Director Feng, is your crew open for visitors today? I want to see the immortal cultivator."

"Director Feng! Is Nan Xiangwan crossing another tribulation today?"

Feng Kaiji: "???"

What the hell? What immortal cultivator? What crossing tribulations?

Feng Kaiji returned to the crew in complete bewilderment, only to find that Nan Xiangwan and the other actors had already changed and were in makeup.

It seemed as if his presence as the director didn't matter at all, since they would just continue shooting on their own.

But as soon as he got back, he heard people saying that members of the neighboring crew had come again!

Feng Kaiji was so angry at this point that he charged out alone with weapon in hand.

But at the door he bumped into Tan Shen.

Tan Shen was carrying a basket of fruit, coming over to apologize: "I'm sorry, Director Feng. I was the one trying to poach people yesterday. But I wasn't trying to poach any technical staff. I was just looking for a couple of assistants since my assistant quit."

There is a saying, "A smiling face often spares one a fist," so facing the basket of fruit, Feng Kaiji didn't know what to say.

Was it related to “Horror Escape Room”?

Not long after, a panicking Hua Yuanwu rushed over after hearing the news. He was so frightened that he couldn’t even walk steadily.

There really was a corpse at the bottom of the well!

How could they just be filming a variety show, and it turned into a crime scene?

What followed next was questioning, investigating, etc.

But because the earlier livestream footage had already spread online, the internet had now exploded.

The incident of a corpse being discovered at the bottom of a well at the old house filming location of “Horror Escape Room” immediately shot up to trending hot search topics!

At the same time, Nan Xiangwan's vlog also made it into the hot searches.

This was very horrifying.

............

Little brick Chen Yaoyao finished her day at school and returned home. Strange, her parents weren't home today?

But that worked out perfectly. Now she could go online, hehe!

As soon as she opened Weibo on her phone, there were two trending topics related to her Morning Treasure.

She eagerly clicked in, feet swinging on the couch, accompanied by her two little braided pigtails bobbing up and down.

But as she kept reading, Chen Yaoyao’s expression grew pale, eyes fixed on the screen!

Most of the disturbing livestream photo had been censored, but the posts had an uncensored photo provided by the police for identification purposes when consulting the public for the identity of the deceased.

And it was this photo that made Chen Yaoyao burst into tears instantly.

“Brother!”

She shouted at the screen, her phone dropped onto the sofa as she tilted her head back and sobbed out loud.

That was her brother!

Her phone, still on the sofa, was playing the video. It was an excerpt from a follow-up interview that had just been posted a few minutes ago.

The camera was at the drama set, with a police car off to the side.

......

Tan Shen: "Yes, he was my assistant and resigned a couple days ago."

Tan Shen: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this... I can only offer my condolences!"

Tan Shen: "The reason for resignation? I guess he was disappointed in me. Because of the previous incident... But I didn't think something like this would happen. If I had known earlier, I definitely would have asked him to stay a few more days!"

......

The police moved swiftly, finding out the identity of the deceased and immediately locating Tan Shen.

The deceased was Tan Shen's previous assistant, Xiao Chen.

The police questioned and took statements objectively.

Afterwards, they also separately found a few celebrity guests from the show “Horror Escape Room” and similarly had some questions to ask. Particularly Nan Xiangwan—she had said many times on the show that there was a problem with that well and it warranted investigating!

The reporters moved quickly as well. This incident had too large of a social impact, and was too explosive, so as soon as the police finished questioning, the reporters arrived at the drama set to conduct interviews.

Tan Shen was the first to be interviewed. At that time while he was being interviewed, Nan Xiangwan was still in the police car being questioned.
