Afterlife Department

Chapter 669  Su Xin 

Gu Xingfeng knows what Jiang Xinduo wanted to ask. Jiang Xinduo is thinking whether Su Xin might be the one who exchanged her fate with Li Fengxin. After all, Su Xin's career as an actress was really smooth-sailing, which Hao Baiyun divined of Li Fengxin's fate, before he was cut off.

Yes. Hao Baiyun was cut off. Hao Baiyun tried to 'see' the life of the unfortunate victim where he sensed a new trouble comes and he did 'see' something before it stopped, for two reasons. One, he had exhausted his strength as the distance was far. Two, an unknown force stopped him from doing so.

Yes. This should be the 'force' that uncle Song was telling them about earlier. This force is very strong that it can overpower Hao Baiyun's ability. Although Gu Xingfeng and Hao Baiyun are at each other's heads, Gu Xingfeng knows how to respect Hao Baiyun's ability. He believes in Hao Baiyun's ability, or else he wouldn't have worked with Hao Baiyun's Supernatural Department in many cases. One example is Li Fengxin's case right now.

Of course, Hao Baiyun's ability also has its limitation. For one, because of his bodily condition. The second is the specialization of his ability. So, Hao Baiyun now asked for uncle Song's help, since Hao Baiyun can only see one's fate, but he cannot locate something, for example, a supernatural being like the infant spirit, which uncle Song can.

"How was it?" Hao Baiyun asked.

Jiang Xinduo instantly perked his ears up while Song Mingfan's and Xiao Xie's expressions are serious. After all, Su Xin might be related to the infant spirit's murderer, if not it is herself.

Uncle Song frowned as he placed his hand on the table. "She really had a miscarriage before." He answered.

Everyone's expression changed. Although they had already expected for this answer from uncle Song, Su Xin still has a pure image as an actress, after all. She had always portrayed herself as a clean woman and never had any scandals before.

"This woman is an actress, right?" uncle Song asked as he sipped his tea.

Song Mingfan nodded. "Yes." he answered.

"Although the entertainment world has already passed its storm from being looked down on by the masses and even gained a respected image, it seems that the darkness of it hadn't been washed off." Uncle Song shook his head in dismay. "Instead, its darkness became darker." He said with a sigh in his voice.

Neither Gu Xingfeng nor Hao Baiyun say anything. Gu Xingfeng can already guess the other face of the entertainment world since they had received many cases from the entertainment circle, or cases related to it. Meanwhile, Hao Baiyun can 'see' it by divining. Mo Yang, for example.

"This woman had three broken fates with children. That one that was found should be her last one." Uncle Song said.

Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

"Did she abort it or what?" Jiang Xinduo asked. He feels disappointed now that Su Xin's image in his heart has been broken.

"She should have, since she is an actress." Gu Xingfeng answered for him. "Though, she might be unwilling." He added.

"Why do you say that, chief?" Xiao Xie asked in surprise. Their chief couldn't have fallen in love with Su Xin or has a crush on her, right? He thought.

Gu Xingfeng didn't answer, but Hao Baiyun did. "If she did, then she shouldn't have had almost three children." He said.

Everyone immediately fell silent. Hao Baiyun is right. If Su Xin doesn't want to have a child, then she could have used contraceptives. But, she didn't, so she had carried a child before. However, it was unfortunate that she lost it, one after another.

Uncle Song nodded in agreement to what Hao Baiyun said. "That is right. These three times show that she loves children." He said. "Unfortunately, she is bound to never have them again." He sighed the CEO of the Yuhua Entertainment, that Su Xin hooked. Xu Xiyan, although hates Su Xin, really 00:24

admires her for managing to hook up Mo Yang.

in pity.

Silence fell upon them for a while. You really can't have everything, much less anything, that you want. You won't always have anything that you desire, and there are times that you are bound to miss it, or never have it.

…

In another Film City, Bai Zheng arrived with his manager Xu Xiyan who is also acting as his assistant after she fell from the ranks of agents. Although she knew that deep in her heart she cares about this, she already lost her desire to be on the top since she knows how more chaotic it is staying on the top. One wrong move and you fall.

She had experienced this first-hand, and that was because she had judged Su Xin wrong. She thought that Su Xin is a sweet and innocent girl and, although she is one of the top agents, she works cleanly and would never pit her artists. So, she vowed to protect Su Xin from the unspoken rules of the industry.

But, who would have expected for Su Xin to be the one to jump into the pit, and would even pit her, too? Xu Xiyan naturally is very angry about this, but then she can't complain since it was Mo Yang, the CEO of the Yuhua Entertainment, that Su Xin hooked. Xu Xiyan, although hates Su Xin, really admires her for managing to hook up Mo Yang.

Thus, Xu Xiyan could only swallow the grievance of being accused of trying to control Su Xin and even make her do the unspoken rules. Because of this black material that she 'have', his new artist, Bai Zheng, is being secretly ridiculed that will be sold by Xu Xiyan. Fortunately, Bai Zheng doesn't believe them and signed with her, and didn't seem to mind the rumors.

After all, Bai Zheng is – "seems like Yan-ge hasn't arrived yet." Bai Zheng said with his voice laced with disappointment.

Xu Xiyan faintly smiled. The 'Yan-ge' that Bai Zheng is referring to is none other than Yu Yan, a famous actor who won the Best Newcomer and Best Actor award as soon as he debuted. Xu Xiyan didn't really expect that Bai Zheng would know Yu Yan. And when she asked him how, Bai Zheng told her that Yu Yan is a family friend. Xu Xiyan, though, became more confused of this so Bai Zheng told her that their families are friends with Gu Lin.

Xu Xiyan almost fainted when she heard it. But, she also knows how to keep her mouth shut. She knows that both Yu Yan and Bai Zheng wanted to become famous using their own strengths as actors. "Your Yan-ge should still be in their company with his PR team counterattacking Ding Rui's preemptive strike in the internet." She said and frowned in disgust because of what Ding Rui did. But, she knows that Ding Rui is rushing for his own death, so she isn't worried about Yu Yan.

"No. I think Yan-ge should have overslept again." Bai Zheng shook his head. "Fortunately, he should be on his way now." He said.

Xu Xiyan's lip twitched. She wished that she didn't hear this about Yu Yan. She heaved a sigh. Fortunately, Bai Zheng is planning to take her to the Xiaxing Entertainment soon because Gu Lin was still acquiring the Xiaxing Entertainment and Bai Zheng couldn't wait.

"Xu-jie." A sweet voice called behind them.

Xu Xiyan doesn't need to turn to know that it was Su Xin. "Hello." She coldly said and nodded at Su Xin before she told Bai Zheng to go inside and greet the directors since Yu Yan hasn't arrived on time.

Bai Zheng greeted Su Xin before he followed Xu Xiyan.

"What's with her attitude?!" Su Xin's assistant glared at Xu Xiyan's back.

Su Xin just shook her head, telling her assistant to control her anger since there might be eyes that are watching.

"Tch. That bitch." Xu Xiyan sneered as soon as they entered the studio. How can she not know how good Su Xin is in earning sympathy from others? Xu Xiyan is just her tool to earn sympathy.

Bai Zheng helplessly smiled as he coaxed her to calm down.

Xu Xiyan shook her head and waved her hand. "Anyway, this drama, 'Youths and Dreams' is a palace and xianxia drama. You already heard of this." She looked at Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng nodded. "The director is very ambitious to combine the two popular genres of drama." He said.

"En." Xu Xiyan smiled. "Su Xin's role is the female protagonist who is a noble daughter that was about to enter a palace as a concubine after she was forced by her family so that they could use her as a political tool. But, she escaped and wandered into jianghu even though she doesn't know any martial arts." She said. "Your role is the second male lead whom the female protagonist met when she entered the jianghua and you saved her when she was robbed and was about to be sold by a gang of thieves." She told Bai Zheng.
