Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 692 Binding, Baiting, and Boomerang

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. What's done is done. Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are the prime suspect."

Gao Dongxu naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to bind himself to the other party. Ignoring Xu Nian's innocent and adorable glare, he held out his hand and said, "Give me the phone—"

"What?" Xu Nian asked warily.

Gao Dongxu kept his hand outstretched, staring intently at her. Xu Nian couldn't bear it any longer and reluctantly took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to him.

Gao Dongxu took the phone, smiled slightly, entered his phone number, and then dialed it.

Soon, the phone rang. Gao Dongxu handed the phone back to Xu Nian and said, "Save my number. You must answer it immediately whenever I call."

"Why should I?" Xu Nian pouted and questioned, unconvinced.

"Just because you're a suspect, I've been lenient with you a lot. Otherwise, I would have taken you directly to the station for questioning, which would have had a bad impact on you," Gao Dongxu continued to intimidate Xu Nian.

Sure enough, Xu Nian's face turned pale. She took the phone with a somewhat depressed and aggrieved expression, muttering, "Why am I so unlucky..."

Seeing Xu Nian about to burst into tears again, Gao Dongxu comforted her, "Since you've encountered this, you should face it bravely. You haven't done anything wrong, so what are you worried about? I'm just asking you to keep in touch with me. I'm not arresting you. I've already taken good care of you, so don't be ungrateful."

Xu Nian looked at Gao Dongxu with a wronged expression, and said resentfully, "So, I should thank you!"

"That's true. Anyone else would have taken you back for questioning long ago. Only I have a soft spot for women," Gao Dongxu said seriously.

Xu Nian's lips twitched, but when she met Gao Dongxu's gaze, she was made to shyly look away by his undisguised admiration.

"Are you full? If you are, I'll take you home—" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"Ah."

"Let's go then." Gao Dongxu stood up, and after Xu Nian had taken her things, they walked out of the steamed bun shop together.

On the bus, Xu Nian remained silent, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

"Here you go—" Gao Dongxu handed over a bottle of "Marriage Mineral Water".

Xu Nian snapped out of her daze, no longer suspecting anything. She took the bottle of mineral water, softly said thank you, unscrewed the cap, and took two sips.

Gao Dongxu watched her drink the water and smiled slightly. He had to admit that the skin on her pretty face was really fair and delicate, just like a baby's skin, making one want to pinch it.

"Let's stop at the alleyway ahead; the car can't get in," Xu Nian suddenly said.

“Okay—” Fu Gui replied.

At the alley entrance, Xu Nian got out of the car with a bottle of mineral water, and Gao Dongxu followed suit.

“I’m home, thank you for bringing me home—” Xu Nian said to Gao Dongxu.

"I'll take you inside and show you around," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

“You—” Xu Nian’s expression immediately changed.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to get acquainted with the place," Gao Dongxu said with a very frank smile.

Xu Nian frowned at him, then gave a soft snort and turned to walk into the alley.

Gao Dongxu followed slowly behind her, admiring her slender waist as she swayed and her perfectly proportioned buttocks.

"Niannian, you're back—"

"Yes..."

Gao Dongxu watched as Xu Nian greeted her neighbor in Shanghai dialect. When the neighbor saw Gao Dongxu, her eyes lit up, and she teased Xu Nian with a gossipy tone, "Oh, you brought your boyfriend home..."

Gao Dongxu understood the gist of it, smiled and nodded at the other party, while Xu Nian blushed deeply and hurriedly explained.

No one cared about her explanation, so Xu Nian had no choice but to walk quickly home. Then, blushing and annoyed, she looked at Gao Dongxu, who had a wicked smile on his face. She was secretly pleased that Gao Dongxu did not deny it.

"I'm home, you can go now—"

"Niannian, you're back? Huh?"

At this moment, Xu Nian's mother came out of the house and saw Gao Dongxu. Her eyes lit up immediately.

There's no way around it, Gao Dongxu's appearance is truly undeniable.

"A friend of Nian Nian, right?"

"Hello, Auntie," Gao Dongxu greeted her with a smile.

"Alright, you should go now—" Xu Nian was immediately flustered by her mother's enthusiastic manner, and chased after Gao Dongxu with a flushed face of embarrassment and anger.

"You child..." Xu Nian's mother playfully slapped Xu Nian, then looked at Gao Dongxu with a smile and said, "Young man, come home and sit for a while."

"Mom~~~" Xu Nian felt like she was going crazy. Her face flushed, she hurriedly pulled her mother towards home, while turning back to glare at Gao Dongxu, who was smiling at her, and said reproachfully, "You should go now—"

"Thank you, Auntie. It's not convenient today, I'll come see you another day." Gao Dongxu pressed his advantage. "Okay..."

"Mom~~~"

"boom--"

Xu Nian slammed the door shut. Gao Dongxu chuckled, turned, and walked out. Some of Xu Nian's neighbors looked at him with smiles and scrutiny, and he politely returned their smiles and nodded.

As Gao Dongxu walked out of the alley and got into the car, he saw two people standing in the alley watching him, then huddled together and whispering something.

"It's a Land Rover, not bad..."

"Not only is it good, it's a Range Rover, worth over a million. Nian Nian found a rich boyfriend..."

With Gao Dongxu's keen hearing, he naturally overheard their whispers, smiled slightly, took out his phone, and called Director Luo.

Good morning, Director Luo!

. . . . . .

"In other words, there's no way to seal it off; the only option is to demolish it and build a hospital," came Director Luo's voice from the phone.

“Yes, this is the only solution I can think of. The morgue will be built directly on the ground floor, which will minimize the chances of paranormal events happening again,” Gao Dongxu said.

"Okay, I'll inform the authorities in Shanghai. What about the Ouija board?"

“It hasn’t been dealt with yet. I’m planning to send Wang Jianjun and the other three to take it down,” Gao Dongxu said, revealing his thoughts.

"You'd better come along and provide escort."

"Ok."

"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to tell you. Yesterday, the Palace Museum and Frog Palace Museum reached an agreement to facilitate a joint exhibition of the 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' scroll in May."

Because this painting is extremely valuable, I'd like you to take charge of its security. Is that alright?

Upon hearing the title "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," Gao Dongxu immediately thought of that terrible movie starring Andy Lau and Lin Chi-ling.

Thinking of Kurosawa Chiling's sweet and seductive voice and various costume changes, Gao Dongxu was in high spirits, especially since she was a Japanese spy. Tsk tsk, once he caught her, he could just do whatever he wanted with her!
Oh, and those twelve zodiac witches trained by that white-haired, neurotic Japanese devil are all top-notch.

"No problem, hehe. Once the news of the combined Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Painting is announced, criminal groups all over the world will be on the move, and the black market will offer exorbitant bounties. There will definitely be a big commotion. Tsk tsk, I like it, hahaha..." Gao Dongxu's eyes gleamed as he laughed excitedly.

"That's why I changed my mind and sent special agents to escort it. Ordinary people simply can't guarantee the safety of the Mountain Dwelling Map 100%. Only with you can I feel at ease," Director Luo said with a smile on the phone.

"Don't worry, I'll just watch those fools who come to their deaths." Gao Dongxu was really looking forward to this big show. As for Hua Zai, he should just live a good life with his wife. He couldn't control Kurosawa Chiling's conscience; only Gao Dongxu could personally handle it.

"You can do whatever you want as long as you're not in the country." Over the phone, Director Luo immediately lifted all restrictions on Gao Dongxu.

"Hehe, Director Luo is truly magnanimous," Gao Dongxu laughed.

"The leaders are also very concerned about this matter, so please don't mess it up."

"Like I said, rest assured. By the way, don't try to fool me with a fake one. I want the real thing. I don't want to be a cover for the open movement, drawing fire for the secret passage. Since you've given me the mission, you have to trust me," Gao Dongxu said calmly, raising an eyebrow.

"..." After a brief silence on the phone, Director Luo said, "Okay!"

"Hehe, that's settled then. I'll return to Beijing as soon as I've dealt with that Ouija board spirit," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Don't rush back to Beijing. Why don't you stop by Shandong Province on your way? A strange ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period has been discovered there. It was initially discovered by local residents during a wildfire. Later, the local cultural relics protection bureau sent people to investigate and found that there were tomb raiders' holes, so they could only carry out a rescue excavation."

However, problems arose as soon as they started digging. Not only were there zombie attacks, but also countless fist-sized black man-eating insects. Only one person from the first group of people who went down into the tomb escaped.

It's probably only the Wang family who dares to be so crazy and arrogant.

A bloody corpse emerges from the coffin?
This is perfect for the evil child to absorb and advance.

It seems I really need to make another trip to the Lu Palace.

“Okay, I’ll finish things here as soon as possible and fly to Shandong Province.” Gao Dongxu agreed without hesitation.

"Once you arrive, you will be in charge. You have only one requirement: prevent any further unnecessary casualties."

"Understood," Gao Dongxu replied.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu felt a little helpless and reluctant. He had just gotten his hands on a new car and hadn't even driven it twice yet; he really didn't want to leave.

I've also taken a liking to another new model, but I haven't even test-driven it yet.

Sigh, we definitely can't delay things at the Lu Palace for too long. It shouldn't take long to deal with it, so if necessary, we should go and come back quickly.

That's the decision.

Gao Dongxu took out his phone and called Xiaoxue and Xiaoqing respectively, asking them to buy the old villa.
