The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

The An family had to take the person to the police station to report the case first.

The three thugs still refused to confess, claiming they were just ordinary tourists driving by and refused to admit they were after An Ling. So, until the police investigated the three men's true motives, An Ling had no need to go to the police station with them.

But the tree trunk blocking the road is a problem; it will take a long time to call a tow truck. An Ling looked at Captain Chen and asked:

"Uncle Chen, is your car parked up ahead?"

“Yes,” Captain Chen replied, “it’s parked up ahead, but it’s quite a walk to get there.”

"It's okay, I'll just take your car and leave. Anyway, you can't drive back now even if you wanted to."

After much persuasion, An Ling managed to convince her parents to go back home. She then led Zhao Niannian over the tree trunk and walked towards Captain Chen's car.

After driving for about another hour, they finally arrived at the film crew's location.

Since there were no hotels or inns at the filming location, the crew booked local farmhouses and guesthouses for the staff to rest.

Gu Chenming was still filming, so An Ling went to wait for him in the courtyard of the guesthouse where he was staying after she arrived.

An Ling even specifically told Gu Chenming's assistant not to tell him that she had arrived, so as to give him a surprise.

In fact, there was no surprise at all; it was more like a shock.

After finishing filming, Gu Chenming walked into the courtyard and saw An Ling sitting in a rocking chair, smiling and waving at him. He was as if he had seen a ghost.

He had already planned out his reactions to the following events: "discovering that An Ling hadn't arrived, calling her but getting no answer, contacting the An family to learn that An Ling had already left, then pretending to be worried and calling the police to say that An Ling was missing, and finally receiving news of An Ling's death." He hadn't thought about how he would react when An Ling, a living person, actually appeared in front of him.

So Gu Chenming stopped in his tracks the moment he saw An Ling, his mind racing with unpredictable possibilities. Had Yang Yao not ordered anyone to make a move, or had they already made a move but failed? Or perhaps they hadn't planned to attack An Ling on her way here, but instead intended to wait until she returned?

He was so panicked by the unexpected situation that he couldn't care less about the expression on his face.

An Ling suppressed her smile and asked, feigning anger:

"Brother Chenming, didn't you say you missed me? Why don't you look happy at all when you see me?"

"Huh? I, I didn't," Gu Chenming said with a forced smile. "I was just too happy and didn't realize it for a moment. Why didn't you tell me you got here?"

"I was afraid of disturbing your filming, so I came to the guesthouse to wait for you first."

An Ling's face showed no sign of having encountered any mishap, which made Gu Chenming increasingly uneasy. He tentatively asked:

"Xiaoling, are the roads here difficult to drive on? Is the journey smooth?"

“The road was fine, but we ran into a robbery on the way,” An Ling deliberately showed a lingering fear and patted her chest. “Who would have thought that we would run into a robbery in broad daylight? They are too bold.”

Gu Chenming's expression instantly turned tense. "Robbery? Are you alright?"

It seems they've already taken action. How could An Ling still be here unharmed?

"It's nothing~" An Ling got up and walked to Gu Chenming, tilting her head to look him over. "Why is Brother Chenming so nervous? I'm right here, what could possibly be wrong?"

"I was just worried about you. I was startled when I heard you say there were robbers. I didn't expect something so dangerous to happen," Gu Chenming realized his lapse in composure and quickly avoided An Ling's gaze. "Can you tell me the details? How did you escape danger? Where are those robbers now?"

"Of course the robbers were taken to the police station. It's really strange, they only said they were passing by, but they clearly cut down a tree to block our car, and judging from their behavior, it seemed like they were waiting for my car on purpose."

"Luckily, I brought a few bodyguards with me, otherwise I would have been in trouble. As for whether they were after me, we'll know once the police find out. Anyway, if someone was behind it, they'll find out eventually. What I'm more curious about is how they were so sure I would pass by that road today?"

An Ling moved a little closer to Gu Chenming and asked thoughtfully:

"Did you know that only you, Brother Chenming, would be visiting me on set today? How did they know? Even the police could find out, right?"

“Yeah, that’s really strange,” Gu Chenming agreed, trying to sound calm. “But don’t overthink it. Just leave it to the police. They’ll definitely be able to find out the reason.”

Although Gu Chenming told An Ling not to worry, he was actually already pondering An Ling's intention in suddenly mentioning him.

Is An Ling now suspecting him?

Why didn't Yang Yao and those useless guys succeed?! And he even created such a good opportunity!

Gu Chenming's suspicions about An Ling have resurfaced.

Why is it Anling again?

She should have been stabbed at last year's awards ceremony, but she managed to avoid it.

This time, he specifically wanted to give An Ling an ending similar to the original story, but she managed to dodge it again.

Is there really something wrong with her?

It seems we really have no choice but to get rid of her.

A fierce glint flashed in Gu Chenming's eyes as he looked at An Ling, but when he saw Zhao Niannian standing not far from An Ling, he could only hide his gaze.

"Xiaoling, you must be tired after such a long drive. Why don't you go and rest for a bit? I have a night shoot tonight and can't accompany you, but I'm free tomorrow morning. How about we go for a walk around the neighborhood tomorrow?"

“Okay.” An Ling raised the corners of her mouth in agreement, but the smile in her eyes disappeared as she turned to walk towards the house.

She had just entered Gu Chenming's name into the character lookup tool again, only to realize that it was unlikely that she could find Gu Chenming through the police with the help of those three thugs.

The item the system gave him that could modify a character's memories was still usable.

He had erased his memories of knowing the three thugs, and also erased Yang Yao's memories of threatening him, ensuring that he would never be implicated.

An Ling was thinking about Gu Chenming when she entered the house and tripped on the threshold.

She was able to stand still, but suddenly everything went white before her eyes and she couldn't see anything. Her consciousness became blurred, and after losing her sight, she lost her balance and fell forward.

The expected pain did not come. Instead, she seemed to fall into someone's arms, who held her tightly, their voice urgent and full of worry.

"Xiao Ling!"

Before An Ling fainted, she wondered if she was hallucinating. Why did the person holding her sound so much like Yan Yu?
