Chapter 51 - Telling ZhouXiang About the Burglary (2/2)

ZhouXiang also felt that this is too much of a coincidence. He didn’t go the day before or the day after. LanXiRong also didn’t go before or after, but both went at a time when they would have a confrontation. Sometimes he felt that something like fate seems to have an invisible hand that is really controlling their lives, making it impossible to resist.

ZhouXiang lowly muttered, “Then what are you guys going to do?”

“Will leave it to YanMingXiu to deal with it. After all, the two were indeed a couple before. Actually, XiRong…” CaiWei could tell that LanXiRong likes ZhouXiang, but he immediately realized that it was inappropriate to tell ZhouXiang this so didn’t say it. “Maybe he’ll have to get a professional to look into this. This can’t be blatantly reported to the police. The things ZhouXiang left behind have been decreasing bit by bit, aiiiigh…..”

Hearing CaiWei say it in such a way, ZhouXiang didn’t feel that the police would be able to trace it to him but he still has a trace of tension. After all, he had been a law-abiding citizen for more than 30 years. As things have reached to this stage, going back to his condo to take his things already made him feel guilty.

He could no longer return home. Although he was thorough in his planning, thinking that he might forget as he’s leaving in a hurry, he put the spare key back in its original place after opening the door. The police may not be able to know that he opened the door using the key. After all, powerful locksmiths and thieves can now open the door without breaking the lock. But after this time, YanMingXiu will surely change the lock.

CaiWei inhaled a breadth of smoke and snuffed the cigarette butt. “Let’s not talk about this, why are you looking for me?”

ZhouXiang immediately responded, “It’s nothing major. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve received the money for the last advertisement. That was very fast.”

“Yeah, the company is operating well, no reason to drag it. Oh right, the ad that you did with YanMingXiu. The funds are in and will be transferred to you within these two days.”

ZhouXiang smiled, “That’s great.”

CaiWei glanced at him oddly, “YanMingXiu really didn’t talk to you that day or interact with you?”

“Almost none. There were more than a dozen people filming this ad together. The entire time I was practicing with the other supporting roles.”

CaiWei pondered over it, “Could it be that he really called you over because you were just suitable for the ad?” Then how to explain the fact that he called directly to President Wang’s home? Such a small supporting role, not even revealing the face, who can’t do it? Why bother in having to owe President Wang a favor by insisting on ZhouXiang for this ad? Is it merely because they have the same name?

ZhouXiang smiled inadvertently, “Wei Ge, you’re definitely thinking too much. After I got there that day, I realized that that those people’s figure is similar to mine. Since they will be shooting the ad the day after tomorrow, they’re definitely in a rush to find someone with similar figure, pursing perfection. Otherwise, why would someone like YanMingXiu pay special attention to me? ”

CaiWei nodded, reluctantly accepting this explanation. What is YanMingXiu really thinking? His head could explode from thinking and he still won’t be able to guess correctly, so he might as well not even try to guess.

ZhouXiang rubbed his hands “Wei Ge, is there any other work for me?”

CaiWei smiled, “You really can’t stand to be idle. Don’t just risk your life to work so hard for money. Did you even rest last week? You’ve only been out of the hospital for a few months, keeping yourself healthy is earning money. Don’t ruin your health just for money.”

“Don’t worry, Wei Ge, I have been lying in bed for two years. My entire body feels alright. I just want to work right now.”

CaiWei voiced, “How much do you still owe?”

“It’s still that amount. I just paid back a few thousands in the past few days. I want to save some money and rent a different apartment. The current environment is very bad.”

CaiWei responded, “Take it slowly. You’re still young. As long as you are here and healthy, there is nothing that is too big of a problem.”

ZhouXiang nodded.

He ate lunch at the company and then went with Ah Liu to bring a bunch of rental crops to the studio. While sitting in the car, ZhouXiang was very sleepy. Suddenly, he awakened from the sound of his phone.

He took it out and looked. It was a text message from a strange number.

The text message was, “Are you done considering it? Time waits for no one.”

ZhouXiang pondered for a long time and was a bit worried as he looked at this strange number. Searching through his phone log, he found that this number had called him last month. ZhouXiang carefully recalled that day. Then it dawned on him that it was from Zhang Jie who had wanted to recruit him to be WangYuDong’s stuntman.

ZhouXiang didn’t even think and immediately deleted the text. For him to be WangYuDong’s stuntman again, this is even more upsetting than getting slapped. If he got this new life only to continue to be WangYuDong’s stuntman, it would have been better for him to be completely dead.

After taking the props to the studio, ZhouXiang rounded up a bunch of people to start the installation. They worked frantically the entire time in the blazing hot sunlight.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, ZhouXiang suddenly got a call from his mom. He wiped his sweat and hid in the shade to answer the call, “Hello, Mom.”

The voice that came through from the other line was not his mom’s voice but an unfamiliar man, “Hi, are you ZhouXiang?”

“I am. You are?”

“I am the manager of Daxie Home Economics Service Company. Is ChenYing your mother?”

ZhouXiang’s heart suddenly jumped. “Yes, what’s wrong with my mom?”

“ChenYing suddenly fainted during the training. She’s resting here right now. Come over and take her home.”

ZhouXiang’s heart sank. After he hung up the phone, he immediately went tell Ah Liu the situation. Ah Liu had a good relationship with him. He immediately tells him, “I’ll lend you my car. Hurry and go.”

ZhouXiang quickly responded, “Thank you buddy but I don’t have a driver’s license. You helping me finish up here is already the greatest help for me. Sorry for this unexpected situation. If there’s time, I’ll definitely be back.”

Ah Liu patted him. “Hurry up and go, don’t have to come back.”

After ZhouXiang ran out of the studio, he remembered that this is the suburbs and there are very few cars passing by. He anxiously ran along the street for a long time before finding an unofficial taxi. At this time, he didn’t bother to ask the driver what the cost would be as he jumped in and headed to the city.
