Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Now I Have to Believe Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Now I Have to Believe Gu Yixing watched as the monkeys greedily inhaled the black smoke from his clothes as if they were smoking, their faces showing an intoxicated expression.
Could it be… not from the lighting?
Gu Yixing slowly moved to the door, yanked it open, and rushed out.
The monkeys seemed to notice him and, sensing the deliciousness on him, started chasing after him.
And so, Gu Yixing ran all over the place.
From the perspectives of the crew members, it looked as if Gu Yixing wasn’t letting the incident with the wires hold him back but instead was striving to become stronger.
Look at him, running for hours without taking a break!
Director Chen glanced at Gu Yixing, who was running frantically, and remembered what the master had said, “He needs to train.”
Director Chen was extremely impressed in his heart; a master is indeed a master!
When Gu Yixing spotted Director Chen, he ran towards him as if seeing a savior, shouting, “Teacher Ma! Director Chen, get Teacher Ma here quickly!”
Director Chen lazily said, “He’s already gone back, I can’t call him now.”
“Didn’t you manage to call him here before?”
“I paid two million.”
Gu Yixing’s face fell, “I’ll reimburse you, both incidents go on my account!”
Director Chen took out his mobile banking app and calmly said, “Transfer the money first, four million for both times.”
Gu Yixing saw the monkeys catching up and hurriedly transferred the money.
Director Chen leisurely said, “If you’d been this straightforward before, you wouldn’t have had to suffer.”
Gu Yixing took out the eye drops to let Director Chen experience what he had gone through, but upon inspection, the bottle was empty; it seemed like after a single use, the rest had evaporated.
When Ma Ming came over again, he saw Gu Yixing with a pitiable face and trembling legs.
Ma Ming chuckled lightly, “You believed it?”
Gu Yixing grimaced, “I did.”
Ma Ming said playfully, “Want to know what would have happened to you if Little Taotie hadn’t gotten on the helicopter?”
Gu Yixing pursed his lips and stayed silent, but his gaze towards Ma Ming suggested that he wanted him to continue.
Ma Ming smiled, “The second helicopter would also have developed a fault due to Evil Spirit’s interference and wouldn’t have been able to reach you. The clothes you wore would attract even more monkeys, the wires would snap completely, and those who came to rescue you would have accidents.”
Gu Yixing’s lips trembled as he murmured to himself, “Today should have been my dark day, the day I cheated death.”
“Yes,” Ma Ming said coldly, “the one who switched your clothes wanted you dead; it was indeed the most venomous curse and summoning.”
There aren’t many who could summon Evil Spirits or command them.
In this world, it would be easy for Ma Ming to find them using Horse-Faced Vidyaraja as a plugin.
“Do you want me to find the culprit for you?” Ma Ming asked.
But Gu Yixing shook his head, “No need.”
The number of people who could have touched his costume wasn’t large.
Because of an incident during his youth when someone maliciously tore a hole in his clothes during a gala, he had been on guard ever since; only his personal assistant could touch them.
Just by interrogating his personal assistant, he would get the answer.
However, he already had a pretty clear idea of who it was.
It was probably the same person responsible for tampering with his clothes the last time.
He’d heard that this person had been very unlucky until meeting a powerful Feng Shui Master who helped him reach a small peak; he even won a newcomer award recently.
It must have been him who had tampered with the clothes using the Feng Shui Master’s help and bribed his own personal assistant.
“I will have a good talk with my personal assistant,” Gu Yixing’s gaze turned cold.
Ma Ming didn’t want to interfere too much; explaining all this was only to ensure that Little Taotie’s merits wouldn’t go unnoticed.
“Little Taotie is your lifesaver, remember to repay the debt of gratitude,” he said.
With that, Ma Ming got up and left.
