My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 139: It’s Just That You’re Afraid to Face It

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: It’s Just That You’re Afraid to Face It

"..." Bei Bei fell silent for a few seconds, "That’s not funny, Sister Xi. You actually didn’t let me into your room today. You weren’t like this before, and I used to bring your breakfast to you every day."

It was indeed strange today.

An old saying goes, "When things go abnormal, there must be demons around!"

The sixth sense of an assistant to a big star cannot be disregarded!

Faced with Bei Bei’s inquisitive eyes, Qiao Xi was the picture of calm and composed. She elegantly smiled and gently patted Bei Bei’s shoulder, "Bei Bei, you shouldn’t be an assistant."

Bei Bei’s eyes lit up, "Oh? Then what should I do? Sister Xi, do you have any better job recommendations? I can work part-time!"

Even though Sister Xi paid well, it didn’t stop her from wanting to fulfill her dream of becoming a wealthy little lady.

Qiao XI unenthusiastically remarked, "Paparazzo."

Bei Bei: "..."

That feeling as if she was about to lose her job...

Scary, scary.

Even if Sister Xi was hiding a man, she would have to pretend not to know!

Qiao Xi started to put on her makeup as soon as she arrived at the set.

Wei Xue still had two days of shooting left, and she would finish tomorrow.

Wei Xue’s acting hadn’t improved much, but she wasn’t being scolded by Mo Qing as much anymore.

Everyone in the crew knew she was planted by an investor, but nobody bothered about this unremarkable character.

Seeing Qiao Xi still the darling of everyone, even with Jiang Yongge, the Film Emperor, becoming her friend, such a contrast eventually made Wei Xue unable to control her jealousy and hatred. She developed a destructive desire towards Qiao Xi.

While filming, Qiao Xi was hardly affected by the outside world.

During her break, Qiao Xi took her phone from Bei Bei and saw a message Shen Dang had sent several hours before.

[Dog Man: Teacher Qiao, I’ve left and closed the door for you [Image]]

The picture was of his well-defined hand, pale and clean with the veins slightly protruding, an image of him closing the door.

Qiao Xi was speechless.

He’s left, and yet he felt the need to send her a message.

Qiao Xi tapped the screen hard with her finger: [Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!]

[Dog Man: No need to see me off; I live just below your floor. Shall I pick you up from work today?]

Shen Dang’s response was instant.

Qiao Xi stared at her phone screen, a poker face on.

Pick her up from work?

What was he thinking?

He must be crazy!

[Qiao Xi: There’s no need, Boss Shen; I have a car service.]

[Dog Man: That’s a pity.]

Qiao Xi: "..."

Bei Bei was carefully observing Qiao Xi’s facial expression, "Sister Xi, what’s wrong? Did some gossip spread about you again?"

Lucky that the phone screen didn’t crack from her taps.

"Nothing."

Qiao Xi put her phone back on the table, turning its screen face down.

"Sister." Su Tutu walked in from outside, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite Qiao Xi, "Bei Bei, could you step out for a moment? I have something to say to Sister Xi."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi slightly lifted her eyes, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I heard someone sent you another dead rat last night. Did the police station find out anything?"

Su Tutu asked with concern.

"I haven’t received a call yet," Qiao Xi replied.

"Thank goodness Boss Shen was there. Given the special circumstances, you must be careful. For now, just let Boss Shen be with you."

Qiao Xi’s gaze was inquisitive; her lips formed a faint smile, "Are you here to advocate for Boss Shen?"

"What! No!" Su Tutu vehemently defended, "I’m simply stating facts, okay? Facing such a situation is just drawing disaster. You won’t let me accompany you; having Boss Shen around is better than you being alone!"

Didn’t this sister understand the situation by now?

"That person behind it is mean to the core; we have to be cautious. I even think that hotel isn’t safe anymore."

Su Tutu was becoming more fearful the more she thought about it.

Qiao Xi patted her on the head, "This is turning into a conspiracy theory. Whichever hotel I stay at, I can’t eliminate this sort of thing."

Su Tutu reached out to tousle her hair, "Sister, Boss Shen came back for you again because of your situation. After such an incident, he couldn’t possibly leave Jiang City on his own. Don’t you understand Boss Shen’s feelings by now?"

Su Tutu was like someone clearing away the fog, revealing all of Qiao Xi’s desires to flee and evade right before her.

Look, Boss Shen stands amidst the fog. You can’t judge a book by its cover, but his heart is already open to you.

Are you ready to accept that?

Qiao Xi put down the script, her ethereal face serious, "As a public figure, I’ve prepared myself for all sorts of trouble, Tutu; I cannot always rely on others."

Perhaps relying on someone is good; it can lessen her burden, but what if reliance becomes a habit?

"You don’t understand."

"What don’t I understand?"

Su Tutu precisely cut in, "You’re just afraid to face it."

She thought of fobbing off Tutu, but Tutu was no fool.

Su Tutu sighed deeply, feeling helpless towards Qiao Xi.

But inside she was a sensitive and fragile person.

It seemed Boss Shen hadn’t done enough. He hadn’t provided her sister enough security. Otherwise, why would she still be like this?

Su Tutu sent a WeChat message to Shen Dang: [The revolution is not yet a success, Comrade Shen must strive harder!]

Su Tutu put away her phone, her large eyes filled with steadfast light, ready to do anything for her sister, "You have night scenes today and tomorrow, so here’s what we’ll do: I’ll go back to the hotel with you, the more people, the greater the strength."

More people, greater strength, Qiao Xi couldn’t help laughing.

She patted Su Tutu on the shoulder, "You don’t have night scenes; don’t waste time with me. You should spend your time with Brother Chao instead. Seriously, don’t worry about me."

If someone really wanted to hurt her, the two of them being females wouldn’t help at all.

The person was targeting her, and Qiao Xi didn’t want to drag Su Tutu into it.

"I..."

"Sister, we have to trust in the power of the people’s police," Qiao Xi interrupted her, assuring her with a smile.

...

Today, there was a scene with all four main characters.

Following the occurrence of several murder cases, Chu Ting, Cheng Liangping, Su Youwei, and Cheng Xi grew and transformed throughout their investigation.

The only bit of sweetness was still mixed with blood.

The first three murder cases had been solved, with no apparent connection on the surface, but in reality, they were closely linked.

And with the happening of this murder, the big boss behind the scenes gradually emerged.

Ancient Tower’s demise!

This was the fourth murder case, seeming unrelated to the previous ones because the modus operandi differed.

The victim had fallen from the tower.

By the time Qiao Xi and Jiang Yongge arrived, the person had already fallen to their death.

Qin Mo examined the body on the spot: "Dead, skull shattered, limbs..."

His expression changed, "Under normal circumstances, a person falling from a high place would subconsciously protect themselves with their limbs, but the victim clearly landed headfirst."

Qiao Xi asked, "Are you saying that the victim had already lost consciousness before falling from the tower?"

Qin Mo: "It seems so, but I can only confirm after performing an autopsy."

Jiang Yongge said, "I’ll take a look at the top of the tower."

Qiao Xi smiled at him, "I’m coming too!"

Su Tutu snapped several photos of the body and then followed them up the tower.

"This tower is so high, and there’s hardly anything in it. Why would anyone come here to jump off? Could there be some supernatural event involved?"
