I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 630 - 450

But in this person’s account, he hadn’t hit a single shot, which was simply impossible!

Unless he did it on purpose or was deceiving them.

However, they had elicited this information through the top hypnotists in the field. The other party couldn’t possibly lie. Even if they had intentionally missed their targets, they would have told them everything.

Which is to say, that was indeed what happened last night.

"What happened next?" Liao Yijie swallowed hard.

"After he ran out of bullets, he wanted to charge in with his knife, but then he saw a standing, moving skeleton behind him. He was so scared he pissed himself and ran into the Mass Burial Mound to find Fang Liwen and the others. When he reached the center of the mound, all he saw were the corpses of Fang Liwen’s group. The other bodies in the burial ground had also revived, and they were crawling back into their own graves."

The conference room once again fell silent.

The testimonies of both survivors mentioned resurrected bodies. But such a thing was impossible. How could dead bodies come back to life? Some of them were nothing but fleshless skeletons! Yet their answers were given under hypnosis, so they couldn’t be lying or faking it.

Could it be? Everyone in the conference room shivered. Are they really the people Fang Liwen’s group murdered, returned for revenge?

「That night at eight o’clock.」

Inside a security office in Xiangjiang, two foreigners were handling some paperwork.

If Xia Liang had been there, he definitely would have recognized one of them as Luodan, whom he had met on the ferry. Standing beside Luodan was another man. This man had white hair and appeared to be quite old; he was Luodan’s mentor, Professor Rico.

After handling the necessary formalities, Professor Rico turned to look at Luodan.

"I rushed over here this time because I want to see for myself if this ’God’ you speak of truly exists."

"Professor Rico, I can assure you, the young man I saw could definitely be called God. I just don’t know if we’ll have the chance to find him."

As he spoke, the image of that young man once again surfaced in Luodan’s mind.

Professor Rico adjusted his glasses and said, "I hope we can find him. I’d like to see if this Dragon Country is as miraculous as you say. Could it be that Dragon Country’s five thousand years of culture are truly beyond our comprehension?"

With that, the two prepared to leave the police station, but the voices of two nearby officers made them stop involuntarily.

"Did you hear? There was a huge case over at the Mass Burial Mound..."

"I have a friend on the investigation team. He handled the file on the hypnosis of the two survivors..."

Listening to the voices from a short distance away, Luodan and Professor Rico exchanged a look. Professor Rico couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

「Inside a filming location in Xiangjiang.」

Director Wu was berating the actors in front of him, his expression furious. This was a crucial climax scene that absolutely could not go wrong, but they had NG’d several times, unable to capture what Director Wu needed. As a result, the director had become extremely impatient.

"Liu, you’re a veteran actor! How could you mess this part up? Facing the zombie attack, your reaction was terrible! And you lot!"

Director Wu turned to the several special-effects actors playing zombies and continued, "Zombies are supposed to be expressionless! A moment ago, you couldn’t even keep a straight face. How are you supposed to play a zombie like that?"

Even the film’s male lead was among those being scolded by Director Wu. This man was a top star in Xiangjiang, yet in the presence of Director Wu, he could only be respectful.

They all bowed their heads obediently, listening to Director Wu’s words and nodding from time to time. But occasionally, a few of them glanced toward Wu Tong, who was standing not far away.

In the previous scenes, Wu Tong had also made some mistakes, but for some reason, Director Wu hadn’t blamed her at all. He even told her to get some rest. Even the male lead didn’t receive such treatment.

On the other side, Wu Tong felt awkward and very uncomfortable under their gazes.

She knew this was all because of Xia Liang. If it weren’t for her relationship with him, she would probably be the first one getting yelled at.

After a moment’s thought, Wu Tong slowly walked over to Director Wu’s side.

Seeing her approach, Director Wu immediately greeted her with extreme enthusiasm.

"Miss Wu Tong, what brings you here? Go rest up, you still have scenes to shoot later."

"I just came to apologize, Director Wu. I feel it was my fault, too, that the last few scenes didn’t go well. Please guide me as well. How should we fix the parts we got wrong?"

"This..." Hearing Wu Tong’s words, Director Wu’s expression became troubled.

How could he dare scold Wu Tong? Master Xia was backing her!

Director Wu felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the incident from two days ago. After he had picked up his son, he was too angry to speak to him. It wasn’t until they arrived downstairs at his apartment that Director Wu finally couldn’t hold back anymore and slapped his son across the face.

And then his son, Wu Jiasheng, spoke his first words, asking why his father thought he had the right to hit him now when he’d never bothered to raise him before.

Hearing this, Director Wu wasn’t angered further. Instead, he froze on the spot, a chill washing over him as he suddenly remembered. That was the second sentence Xia Liang had told him over the phone. And his son had only said this after Director Wu himself had struck him.

Xia Liang hadn’t just sized up Wu Jiasheng’s character with a single glance. He had known everything that would happen that night, predicting even my own actions and my son’s words with perfect clarity.

So, after disciplining his son and sending him home, Director Wu had immediately driven toward the upscale residential building where Wu Tong lived. After the events of that night, he was thoroughly convinced of what a terrifying figure Xia Liang was. Combined with the rumors from Haojiang, Director Wu had no doubt.

If Xia Liang got angry, a single thought from him could probably turn me to dust.

He knew he had to apologize and make amends for his previous behavior. But when he arrived at the high-end residential building where Wu Tong lived, he found that Xia Liang had already left for some reason, which made his heart sink.

He must have known I was coming and left on purpose. He must be angry because of my disrespectful words from before.

Thinking this, Director Wu had several sleepless nights and didn’t dare call to inquire. When Xia Liang didn’t show up to the set for the next few days, his suspicions were confirmed.

So how could I dare scold Xia Liang’s woman?

But since Wu Tong had spoken up, he couldn’t refuse outright. He just began discussing the problems in the earlier shoot with her and the others. His tone, however, was much gentler, as if he had become a different person.

「Meanwhile, at the entrance of the film set.」

A young man smiled as he looked toward Director Wu and the others. He was the film’s second male lead, Wu Chao. It wasn’t his turn to film today, so he was safe from the scolding. Plus, as Director Wu’s nephew, he was confident that even if he messed up, he wouldn’t be reprimanded.
