He stood up unsteadily, clutching his chest and breathing heavily, the words of Cheng Ai echoing in his ears.

Damn, I was careless!

The bedroom was ruined. Ye Jingke looked down at his hands; his palms were red and swollen, clearly from burns.

However, he didn't care at all and instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I was holding onto the amulet the whole time, otherwise I would have lost my life here.

Ye Jingke found his spare phone and called the police. Afterwards, he stood amidst the shards of broken glass, gazing out at the pitch-black night.

His mind was in turmoil. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and puffed out smoke that blurred his handsome face.

If I'm not mistaken, the destroyed phone was likely planted with a remotely controlled miniature bomb, and it was extremely powerful.

Few subordinates have access to one's private phone. Bai Jing wouldn't bring about his own demise. Su Qi and Zhang Caifeng's spies have all been eliminated. Who else could it be?

Just as I was racking my brains, I heard a screeching sound of brakes coming from not far away.

Seeing the familiar figure rushing towards him, he stubbed out his cigarette and quickly went downstairs.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bai Jing slumped on the steps, panting heavily, looking like she had just escaped a disaster. "I heard a huge explosion before the call was cut off. I'm so glad you're alright. It really scared me to death."

Ye Jingke pursed his lips and said bluntly, "Ai Ai's protective charms have all been used up."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing's eyes widened, and after a long while, she frowned and asked, "Then what should we do? Should I ask Miss Cheng to draw a few more?"

"No need." Ye Jingke refused indifferently, turned around and walked back. "Fix the villa as soon as possible. I don't want her to have nowhere to sleep when she comes back."

Bai Jing quickly followed, a mischievous smile on her face, "Mr. Ye, you have a severe case of mysophobia, but now you've even given your bedroom to Miss Cheng. It's clear she holds a very special place in your heart~"

Ye Jingke neither admitted nor denied it, but merely gave him a cold glance before striding away.

The scene shifts to inside the castle.

After Cheng Ai finished her outburst, the other guests also came to their senses and offered their congratulations to Zhong Zheyi, though their words were not entirely sincere.

But before the last person could finish speaking, a mechanical female voice suddenly rang out one after another:

<Ding! 1 points deducted from Cheng Baoni!>

<Ding! 2 points deducted from Cheng Baoni!>

<Ding! 1 points deducted from Cheng Baoni!>

[I really want to know what she did to deserve this 4-point deduction!]

[Haha, great shot! Brilliant shot! Absolutely fantastic!]

Hao Jian was startled and hurriedly ran upstairs. After all, Cheng Baoni was his girlfriend now, and he had to pretend to care about her in front of the screen.

However, when he pushed open the door to room 201, he was immediately stunned.

The room was lit only by a dim chandelier. The bed was in a mess, with bedding and clothes scattered all over the floor. The wardrobe was wide open and completely empty.

If you look closely, you can also see two dark shadows under the dressing table and large characters on the ceiling.

Seeing Cheng Baoni standing by the window, her back to him and motionless, Hao Jian assumed she was upset about the points deducted, so he quickly approached her and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I still have 20 points here, we won't go hungry."

The person in front of him didn't speak, but slowly turned his head, revealing a bloodied and mangled face.

Hao Jian was so frightened that he backed away and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, two hands caught his waist in time, saving him from a serious fall.

"Honey, who are you talking to?"

The familiar voice startled Hao Jian, who turned his head sharply and his expression changed drastically.

The person speaking to me is Cheng Baoni, but who is the one who is disfigured...?

He looked ahead cautiously, only to come face-to-face with two bloody holes.

The next second, a piercing scream shattered the entire castle, lingering for a long time.

The guests and photographers who had just entered were all bewildered by this sudden situation, and they looked at each other in confusion.

[What's wrong with being a jerk? What are you yelling about?]

[This is ridiculous! Director, could you please install a camera in the room? We're watching a live variety show, not an audiobook!]

Hao Jian was still going crazy. He first kicked Cheng Baoni, then crawled under the covers, hugged his head, and trembled.

Without realizing it, he suddenly felt something hard and cold in his arms.

Looking down and focusing, he was horrified to see a bloody human head.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Hao Jian crawled out of bed and ran outside, howling like a banshee.

Unfortunately, the door was locked, and no matter how much he knocked, it wouldn't budge.

[Hahaha, serves you right for scaring Cheng Ai! You got what you deserved!]

Please, have some decency! My ears can't take it anymore.

Cheng Baoni, who had fallen to the ground, was in great pain, clutching her calves with both hands and groaning in agony.

A few minutes earlier, she had run upstairs first, opened the door with her room card, and just as she stepped inside, she heard the news that Ye Yingdi had signed Zhong Zheyi.

She was consumed by jealousy and immediately began searching for clues, hoping to gain favor in return.

I finally found two puppets, but before I could even touch them twice, I was inexplicably deducted four points.

Not long after, Hao Jian burst through the door, talking to the air as if possessed, then backing away and falling down.

Cheng Baoni went to help without hesitation, but was kicked away.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to stand up despite the pain, and walked slowly to his side, gently asking, "A-Jian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Before she could finish speaking, Hao Jian suddenly tackled her to the ground, grabbed her neck tightly, and roared in a hoarse voice, "I'll kill you!"

As the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her, Cheng Baoni struggled desperately, kicking her legs wildly and trying to pry his fingers apart with both hands.

She never knew that the usually gentle and refined Hao Jian could be so fierce and irritable, nor did she ever imagine that she would be on the verge of death twice on the same day.

[Strangle her! I absolutely will not call the police!]

[They even said Cheng Ai is mentally ill, but I think Hao Jian is more like it!]

The other guests were just watching, eagerly waiting; wouldn't they take the opportunity to punch him a couple of times?

[Don't let it escalate to the point of causing a death; if the variety show gets taken off the air, we'll suffer a huge loss.]

[Yes, yes, yes! I'm really looking forward to seeing the Nighttime Actor on Friday, so please, no surprises!]

Not only were netizens worried, but Gong Qian was also very anxious. He repeatedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the photographer to save the day.

But fearing being accidentally injured, they dared not approach.

Gong Qian was furious and cursed in exasperation, "A bunch of cowards!"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhao Nan with a sinister gaze, his tone unusually cold, "Aren't you very familiar with Mr. Ye? Hurry up and tell him what's going on here!"

Ever since he saw that the other party was relaying a message for Ye Jingke, Gong Qian's attitude towards him has completely changed, and he even subtly revealed a sense of disgust.

Even though he was the director of "Dare to Be", Ye Jingke bypassed him and went directly to the assistant director to communicate. This feeling of being suddenly excluded was too unpleasant.
