Chapter 269 The Murder Scene in the Entertainment Industry 11
Yu Muhuai simply washed his face and brushed his teeth, without intending to take a shower, and instead lay down on the bed fully clothed.

Yingjie quickly washed up and then lay down next to Yu Muhuai.

Neither of them planned to turn off the lights tonight, even though it was already very late, neither of them felt sleepy.

Being in the entertainment industry, their schedules are already irregular. Adding to that, after that incident, they can't sleep.

With nothing else to do, Yingjie started chatting with Yu Muhuai about all sorts of gossip.

However, it was mostly Yingjie who did the talking, and Yu Muhuai just responded with "uh-huh, ah, oh".

As they chatted, Yingjie brought up Yu Muhuai.

"Xin Xin, Sister Ying has a question for you."

Yu Muhuai didn't turn around, but hummed in agreement, "Yes, Sister Ying, you go ahead."

"Are you and Jiang Heng really just a couple for publicity, and not actually together?"

Yu Muhuai was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Sister Ying, you always know the latest gossip in the entertainment industry. Don't you know whether Jiang Heng and I are really together?"

Yingjie immediately smiled apologetically and explained, "Xinxin, I'm not as knowledgeable as you say. A lot of my information is just hearsay. If others don't share gossip with me, I won't know anything."

Look, what Xiao Dou said today about Lü Siyan and Jiang Heng having an affair in the past, I've never heard of that before.

All I know is that they were photographed by paparazzi, but I've never heard anyone gossip about things from before.

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, "I don't know either."

"And another thing, I've never heard of Cui Zhe owing such a huge sum of money."

Yu Muhuai nodded. "I've never heard of it either."

Yingjie didn't need Yu Muhuai to give any further response; she just needed to express her gossipy nature.

"This number is outrageous. I couldn't earn that much in several lifetimes. They just waved their hands and an entire project vanished. It really is the world of the rich. I don't understand it."

Yu Muhuai remained expressionless. "Hmm, I don't understand either."

"Also, I heard that after Zheng Zihao was cyberbullied, in addition to being verbally abused, some people sent him disgusting things, and some even harassed his family."

During that period, Zheng Zihao was somewhat depressed and even saw a psychologist. It's said he was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which was likely related to his recent retirement and the fact that he hadn't yet fully adjusted mentally.

Yu Muhuai had just finished yawning. Her eyes were staring at a spot on the ceiling, her pupils slightly unfocused. Amidst Yingjie's incessant chatter beside her, she finally felt a bit sleepy.

But she still flattered her with a perfunctory yet professional tone, saying, "Wow, is that so?"

"Hey, Xin Xin, Jiang Heng comes from a good family, he's rich, and he's doing quite well in the entertainment industry. Not to mention his looks, why didn't you agree to be with him back then?"

Yu Muhuai felt somewhat helpless.

Yingjie asked Qixin this question a long time ago, and Qixin had already explained it then, saying that Jiang Heng was not her type.

Moreover, he was too much of a womanizer, and she didn't want to waste her time on a playboy.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Muhuai carefully considered his words and was about to explain something when suddenly everything went black.

Everything around them immediately plunged into complete darkness.

The world seemed to have fallen into an abyss.

power cut!
Yingjie let out a terrified scream involuntarily, and Yu Muhuai immediately sat up in bed.

Almost simultaneously, several screams were heard outside.

Due to its age, the villa has poor sound insulation, and outside noise can easily get in.

Yu Muhuai immediately stood up, took out her phone, turned on the built-in flashlight, and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to take a step, someone stopped her.

Yingjie grabbed Yu Muhuai's sleeve, looked at her with a face full of fear, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Xin Xin, what are you doing? Are you going out?"

"Yes, I need to go out and see what's going on. Ying-jie, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

Yingjie was so frightened that she burst into tears. She then hugged Yu Muhuai's arm and pleaded, "Xinxin, don't wander off! I'm so scared, my heart is pounding in my chest!"

Helpless, Yu Muhuai comforted the other party for a few words and finally managed to pull Yingjie's hand away.

"Don't worry, Sister Ying, it's okay. Just don't wander off."

"Xin Xin, don't go, Xin Xin."

Yu Muhuai ignored the voices behind her; she couldn't waste any more time.

She then left the room, closed the door, and headed towards the living room.

With the power outage at the resort, the security cameras were useless, and people's view was obstructed, allowing the murderer to destroy the evidence.

It seems Yu Muhuai's guess was correct; there was indeed evidence in that living room that could identify the murderer.

So now she must go to that living room, and whoever appears in the living room now is very likely the murderer.

Upon arriving in the living room, Yu Muhuai shone his flashlight around and found that there was no one inside.

It seems the murderer was slower than her.

Yu Muhuai turned off the flashlight and stood silently by the door. In the darkness, she prepared to wait for her prey to come to her.

She silently moved her limbs; Qi Xin's body was rather thin, and her muscle strength was also lacking.

Although she has just arrived in this world, based on her fighting experience, she should have no problem subduing the murderer.

Even if all else fails, she still has some power she can use.

At this moment, all sorts of noisy sounds were already coming from outside.

There were sounds of a woman sobbing, a man cursing, pacing back and forth, and knocking on the door.

The staircase of the villa is located in the middle of the building. After each floor, there are long corridors on both sides, with many rooms distributed on both sides.

The living room on the second floor is located at the end of the corridor on the left side of the stairs. The room where the five women live is also on the left side of the stairs, in the same direction as the living room.

The guest rooms where the five men stayed were all on the right-hand side of the corridor, so if these men wanted to get to the living room, they would have to go through that staircase.

Yu Muhuai's room was the closest to the living room. Generally speaking, even if the murderer wanted to get to the living room, he shouldn't be able to get there as quickly as she could.

It's a pity that I was held up by Sister Ying just now, which delayed me a little.

But the impact is not big.

Amidst the cacophony of night rain and the occasional noise from the corridor, Yu Muhuai discerned a faint sound of footsteps approaching her.

Yu Muhuai leaned against the door, holding his breath and waiting.

The villa was pitch black, and outside the window, a torrential downpour obscured almost all the moonlight.

However, all the wooden planks in the stairwells are made of wood, and because they are old, they creak slightly when you step on them.
