Chapter - 673 In Search of the Real Murderer

"What now? What about Chen Xiaobei?" Song Qincheng was worried sick. The rims of her eyes were red, and she was doing all she could to hold herself together. She would not allow herself to break down before anything was confirmed.

"Director Song Qincheng! You must prepare yourself…"

Feng Yaolun's face was pale. He said in a whisper, "The tower has fallen and the fire has swallowed the entire thing, and we've spent nearly ten minutes trying to put the fire out…"

"Cut the crap! Just tell me!" Song Qincheng barked, completely disregarding Feng Yaolun. Right now, all she cared about was Chen Xiaobei.

"When we found Chen Xiaobei, he was not breathing and there was no pulse. The doctor has confirmed… That he's… Gone…" Feng Yaolun bowed his head, lowering his gaze. He dared not look at Song Qincheng in the eyes.

"Gone? That's impossible!"

Song Qincheng nearly lost her footing and fainted but she steadied herself.

"Bring me there! I want to see it with my own eyes! Or I will never believe that Chen Xiaobei is dead! He is the strongest man I've ever known. He will not fall in a place like this! He wouldn't!" There was not a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"Alright…come with me…" Feng Yaolun swallowed.

Out of fear, Feng Yaolun had succumbed to Song Qincheng's domineering attitude instinctively.

By then, Chen Xiaobei's body was already in the body bag, in the ambulance, on its way to the hospital.

Song Qincheng pulled the zip opened and asked, "Why are there no traces of burns?"

Feng Yaolun quickly explained, "The doctor said that he must have been trapped inside a vacuum. That's why he was not in contact with the fire. The cause of death is asphyxiation by inhalation of toxic gas!"

Song Qincheng has a hunch that things were not as simple as it seemed.

"Director Feng Yaolun, please give us some time alone. Help me keep a lookout. Make sure no one comes in."

"Alright… I understand. Song Qincheng, you must mourn… Don't do anything stupid…" Feng Yaolun advised before he left.

Once he was out of sight, Chen Xiaobei opened his eyes.

"Ah…!" Song Qincheng was about to scream but Chen Xiaobei reacted quickly and covered her mouth.

"Don't scream! Or this would be a waste of my efforts!" Chen Xiaobei whispered.

"Idiot! You scared me! Why are you pretending to be dead? Do you know how worried I was?!" Song Qincheng had been holding her tears back and now her eyes flooded and large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks.

They were, of course, tears of joy.

"I only did it because someone wants me dead! The tower was rigged with four packs of explosives!" Chen Xiaobei explained as he wiped away her tears.

Song QinCheng was aghast. "That means that that explosion was not the blast team's fault? Someone actually tried to kill you?"

Chen Xiaobei nodded.

"Is it the Zhuang Family?" that was the first name that came to her mind.

"No. I just took care of the Zhuang Family last night. They wouldn't dare lay a hand on me!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Then who could it be the Yap Family? I mean you had a feud with Yap Tianlin!"

"That's a no either. They also think that I am a deity. Unless they want to die, they wouldn't dare touch a hair on my head!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "You don't need to keep making wild guesses. With me 'dead', whoever tried to kill me will surely blow their cover! And then, I will make them pay!"

"Alright. Since you already have everything planned out, I won't worry anymore." Song Qincheng licked her red lips and asked, "How did you survive the explosion and the fire?"

Chen Xiaobei flashed her a smile. "That's because I thought about you when the explosion happened and that gave me a mysterious strength, so that I was unscathed! It must have been the power of love that kept me alive!"

The truth was, Chen Xiaobei paid a huge price to be able to survive the explosion.

During the explosion, Chen Xiaobei turned the first Prosperous Monkey Fur into an iron wall to block the impact of the explosion.

He then turned the second and third Prosperous Monkey Fur into two iron umbrellas to hamper the collapsing wooden tower.

At the same time, a large volume of Divine River Spiritual Water was sprayed all over the place so that the flames could not go near him, and also clear the thick cloud of smoke to prevent Chen Xiaobei from suffocating.

This explosion had cost Chen Xiaobei so many of his treasures. He would have his revenge! He would them pay many folds!

Because Chen Xiaobei could not explain this to Song Qincheng, so he just made up an excuse.

"Pffft! How could you joke at such a time!" Of course, Song Qincheng did not believe him. "If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. Just get it resolved as quickly as possible and come back safely!"

"Understood. You go home, take a shower and wait for me!" Chen Xiaobei winked at her and lay down on the body bag again.

Song Qincheng then quietly went back to the filming scene.

...

This unexpected explosion had caused a lot of trouble for the crew – there was a lot of clean-up work to be done. Everyone pitched in, working like ants, having no time to waste.

However, there was something good that came out of this inconvenience – a real explosion scene!

Four packs of explosives brought an impacted effect to the production and triggered Tang Mengwan's real sadness!

You could say that this explosion was a turnaround for this show!

As a film director, Feng Yaolun was elated – he felt that he could never in his lifetime ever reproduce a shot this perfect ever again.

The only thing Feng Yaolun was apprehensive of was that Song Qincheng would not allow that scene to be released.

So he was taken aback when Song Qincheng not only agreed to let him use that recording but agreed to cover up the news of Chen Xiaobei's death.

This decision made Feng Yaolun absolutely over the moon. He beat his chest to show that he would do all he could to complete the rest of the filming to his very best ability – for the audience and for the late Chen Xiaobei!

With Feng Yaolun and Song Qincheng working together, things quickly calmed down at the set.

On the other side, Chen Xiaobei has already been sent to the hospital morgue.

But he was not in a rush to leave. Lying in the morgue, he took out his phone and opened the Red Envelope Group chat.

He is certain that the Zhuang Family were not the culprits.

To be able to find out who the murderer means that Chen Xiaobei would need the help of the Red Envelope!

Chen Xiaobei: My powerful deity, Qianli Yan! Are you there? I need a God Eyes Talisman! ?

Qianli Yan: Err… God Chen, don't call me 'powerful deity'. I can't live up to that title… Also, I must tell you beforehand that the price of God Eyes Talisman has increased…?
