It was six in the evening, but Li Shiyao and Liu Miao had yet to finish their discussion and had to reluctantly say their goodbyes . Ning Meng saw Li Shiyao’s unsatisfied face and laughed . “He’s the director of this movie . You will be stuck with him for the next few months, what we have is time . Don’t worry!”
Li Shiyao looked at Ning Meng with her apricot eyes that were filled with a yearning look .
“Director Li really has the vision! Even our locally produced movies lack the romance of Korean movies, yet, Director Li’s short films have all captured these emotions . ”
Ning Meng nodded . “I hope that we will be able to shoot an urban movie filled with romance . ”
Li Shiyao was about to return to the hotel, however, Ning Meng wanted to visit God in the hospital . They had both decided to go back home the next day, but seeing God in this state, she could not just let this go . Liu Miao was supposed to head to Beijing the next day to sign the company’s contract and discuss further the terms to join the group . Ning Meng gave it some thought and spoke to Li Shiyao .
“Director Li and you will go back first tomorrow . When you’ve arrived at Beijing, look for a good hotel for Director Li… Never mind, you’re an artist . I’ll get the staff to arrange those things . ”
After saying this, she went into a panic . “You’re about to join the group! We need to find you a manager! I will give Sun Ge a call and ask him to arrange it for you . He was supposed to pick someone up from the airport anyway . ”
Li Shiyao nodded . She saw that Ning Meng had stopped talking but she did not dare to say anything, her limbs frozen on the spot . Ning Meng understood her timid nature and asked, “What’s up?”
She was usually nice to her own people . “If there’s anything, you can just tell me . ”
Li Shiyao looked at Ning Meng and remembered the gathering from the other day… When they were watching the movie, Fei Bai was sat next to her . In the middle of the movie, his phone had rung and he had gone out to answer the call . Li Shiyao had quietly trailed him from behind and seen him go into a dark alley . His brows were furrowed, and he looked as though he had just crawled out of hell, his whole body surrounded by a shroud of murderous aura .
Not hearing what the opposite site had said, she had seen him give a faint approval and say, “So, do I just kill?”
“Just killing one is not enough? Then, I’ll kill two . ”
“Still not enough? Then, I’ll kill them all . ”
She had been scared to the core on the spot, her soul about to leave her body . She had then gone back to the room in a daze . After Fei Bai returned, she had pretended to show an obedient expression, but her whole body was frozen stiff and she could not understand what the movie was about anymore .
When Fei Bai offered to send her home, she was too afraid to be with someone who would take someone’s life . She was more scared of Fei Bai as compared to ghosts, so she declined in a panic, her heart devastated .
CEO Ning had been treating her so well but she had not told CEO Ning that a murderer was lurking among them . If she had told her, would CEO Ning report this to the police and arrest Fei Bai? Li Shiyao mulled over the situation for a while and finally… she came up with a good idea!
She lifted her head and looked at Ning Meng’s caring eyes, gritting her teeth .
“Ning… CEO Ning… I… I’m afraid that someone might be following me… So… So… Can I… Can I request for a bodyguard?”
Li Shiyao continued to stammer . “Um… Er… I want Fei Bai… . Is… Is that OK?”
She was about to burst into tears . She was really afraid of Fei Bai, but what if his bloodlust got the better of him and he ended up killing CEO Ning?
