    Chapter 56 The CEO Male Supporting Character

    After eating their fill, Huo Sang volunteered to clear the table, having eaten the most and being the most stuffed among everyone.

    Yang Fan also offered to help. Although Xie Jifeng didn’t say anything, his actions of tidying up already showed his willingness.

    Yan Ye, on the other hand, who had cooked the feast, was asked by everyone to rest.

    [Wow, when some people aren’t here, everyone gets along so well.]

    [Didn’t you notice, the comments aren’t so toxic anymore either?]

    [Did everyone watch the live stream of dinner just now? Tianyu Entertainment’s CEO is so gentle towards his own artist, who still remembers how the director was so scared by him he didn’t dare to speak?]

    When the director saw this comment, he angrily asked the staff next to him, “When was I ever scared speechless by CEO Song?”

    The staff member was fiddling with the camera, and hearing this, could only flatter him, “No, they’re talking nonsense. Director, how could you be scared speechless by CEO Song?”

    The director nodded in satisfaction, “Exactly…”

    The staff member covered his mouth and laughed as he walked away. The director came back to his senses and cursed, “You brat, come back here! What do you mean by that?”

    Song Yang rubbed his ears impatiently, glancing coldly at the loudly complaining director. A single look turned the other person into a quail.

    The staff member muttered softly, “And he says he wasn’t scared speechless by CEO Song.”

    Song Yang was already in a bad mood. Looking at the two people in the kitchen standing so close, the impatience in his eyes was practically overflowing.

    The director didn’t want to touch a raw nerve at this moment either, so he found a deserted spot to look at the comments.

    Song Yang wasn’t a guest, so no cameraman followed him. However, when Yan Ye sat across from him, the cameraman’s lens inevitably swept over him, also recording him.

    [CEO Song transforms, becoming a domineering CEO again.]

    [As expected, CEO Song only shows his gentle side to his own artist.]

    [Does CEO Song like Yang Fan? Among all the guests, he is nicer to Yang Fan than the others.]

    “CEO Song keeps looking towards the kitchen, could it be he wants to go help?” Yan Ye deliberately teased.

    There were already four people in the kitchen; if he went in too, it would be crowded.

    Song Yang sat with his legs crossed, annoyed that a mere minor actor dared to mock him. His voice was full of hidden meaning, “Mr. Yan, you look quite different now compared to how disheveled you were last night.”

    [What is CEO Song talking about? What happened to Yan Ye last night?]

    [Ahhhhhh, what exactly happened last night? I’ve been so curious about how Yan Ye got to Crescent Island early.]

    Originally, Song Yang’s words were meant to warn Yan Ye not to meddle, but unexpectedly, they reminded Yan Ye of something: he should do something for the original owner who died.

    Seeing the person fall silent, Song Yang just assumed Yan Ye was a sensible person and turned his gaze back to the kitchen.

    Their conversation wasn’t long, and fans could only make wild guesses from these two sentences.

    “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom!” Yan Ye said this to the cameraman.

    The cameraman nodded and didn’t follow.

    When Yan Ye came out of the restroom, the people in the kitchen had already finished cleaning up and come out. When Huo Sang saw him, he happily said, “Brother Yan, want to play ‘Fight the Landlord’?”

    He held up the playing cards in his hand, with the other three guests sitting around.

    Yan Ye shook his head, “I don’t know how to play.”

    “I’ll teach you! I’m really good at ‘Fight the Landlord’!”

    Qin Yan’s mouth twitched, “You’re going to lose!”

    “Ah? How is that possible? I still have cards!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fan said gleefully, “My Bomb of Kings.”

    Huo Sang’s eyes widened. He looked at the cards in his hand; there were no cards bigger than this pair of Kings. He pouted and looked at Qin Yan with mournful eyes.

    Qin Yan was amused by his look, “Who told you to grab the landlord!”

    Huo Sang glared at him fiercely, “Can’t you go easy on me?”

    Yang Fan was amused by the two of them, “Huo Sang, are you treating us like we’re not here?”

    Huo Sang was just being blunt and forgot that others were there. Hearing Yang Fan say this, he said defensively, “I’m not playing anymore, Brother Yan, you play!”

    Yan Ye shook his head, not interested in such games, but he was a little interested in this villa.

    Last night was too late, and he had been busy all day today, so he hadn’t had time to look around properly.

    Regarding the murder that happened in this villa twenty years ago, the Book of Reincarnation only mentioned it briefly. The truth still needed to be explored by himself.

    “You guys play, I want to look around the villa first,” Yan Ye said calmly, his steps moving towards the second floor. At the entrance of the spiral staircase leading further up from the second floor, there was a sign prohibiting entry and a red line barrier.

    Yan Ye’s scrutinizing gaze fell on the banister of the stairs. There were scorched marks. Rumor had it that a murder occurred in the villa, but it didn’t mention a fire. Could the deaths of those five people be related to this?

    Yan Ye stared at the scorched marks for too long, not noticing a man with a cold expression standing behind him.

    Song Yang was wearing a bathrobe, looking like he had just showered. He wasn’t wearing shoes or slippers, walking silently. His cold aura was slightly different from the aloof CEO Song from the daytime.

    When he loaned the island for exploration, he had expected someone might want to go to the third floor. But seeing someone discover the traces from back then with his own eyes, his calm heart was like a peaceful lake into which a stone was thrown, causing a ripple.

    “CEO Song, standing behind me without shoes late at night, are you trying to scare me?” Yan Ye only noticed an extra shadow on the ground when he lowered his head to look at the scorched marks. He didn’t speak immediately but waited for a moment.

    The cameraman was even slower to notice than him and was startled, dropping the camera, which shook twice.

    Song Yang lowered his eyes slightly, resting them on the staircase banister Yan Ye was touching. Then he raised them again, his expression turning chilling and frightening, “Want to go up and see?”

    Yan Ye wasn’t scared by his attitude and admitted frankly, “Yes.”

    Song Yang crossed his arms over his chest, the trembling of his fingertips well-concealed, “Then follow me.”

    The first half of the stairs to the third floor still had some light, but the latter half was completely dark, pitch black, the kind where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

    The cameraman suggested coming back tomorrow during the day. Yan Ye’s phone was waterlogged and completely unusable, so he could only borrow the cameraman’s phone to turn on the flashlight.

    Since Song Yang had just come out of the shower, he didn’t have his phone with him. The three of them could only rely on the flashlight on Yan Ye’s phone to move step by step towards the third floor.

    The dark environment filled people with panic, not to mention that this was a place where a murder had occurred.

    [Holy cow, where are Yan Ye and the others going? Cameraman, please don’t shake your hand.]

    [Ahhhh, the scary atmosphere is suddenly here, this is more like an exploration variety show!]

    [Holy cow, if you guys didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten what show this is.]

    While netizens were still discussing, a blood-red handprint suddenly appeared in the frame, accompanied by a high-pitched male scream. The comments went wild with fear.

    [Ahhhhhh, back back back back…]

    [Woc woc, what is this, quickly point the camera somewhere else ahhhhhhh.]

    [Damn it, I was lying in bed watching the show nicely, suddenly it scared me so much I dropped my phone on my face.]

    “Quiet, it’s just some graffiti,” Yan Ye said without changing his expression, a flicker of something unusual in his eyes. He then helped the cameraman turn the lens to another direction.

    [Graffiti, boohoohoo, you’re telling me this is graffiti, do you think we’ll believe you?]

    [If you told us this was graffiti somewhere that didn’t have a murder, we might believe it.]

    Although Song Yang didn’t scream like the cameraman, his subconscious retreat already showed that he was also afraid of this thing inside.

    Because Yan Ye was standing behind him, his body bumped into him, and he put his hand on Song Yang’s shoulder, feeling the slight trembling of the person next to him.

    After hearing Yan Ye’s explanation, the cameraman stopped screaming, but was still clearly scared. “Brother Yan, I heard you’ve filmed those horror movies, do you believe there are… there are ghosts in this world?”

    Although the last two words were quiet, the three of them were squeezed together, and Song Yang still heard them clearly.

    Yan Ye’s clothes suddenly tightened. He reached down to touch and felt a pair of delicate fingers tightly gripping his clothes.

    “CEO Song?” Yan Ye asked doubtfully.

    Song Yang’s throat was dry, and he responded a beat late, “Hmm… is there something?”

    Yan Ye suddenly smiled, his voice light and airy, “Nothing… I just didn’t expect CEO Song to be this afraid of ghosts!”

    Thinking about how easily Song Yang accepted his stay last night, Yan Ye suddenly understood everything. Song Yang was afraid of ghosts and didn’t dare to stay in this villa alone, which was why he appeared on the beach in the middle of the night, and that was when he discovered Yan Ye.

    CEO Song used silence to reject Yan Ye’s teasing. He comforted himself, it’s okay, it’s too dark, even though it’s being live-streamed, the netizens can’t see anything.

    Moreover, Yan Ye said things right next to his ear, so the netizens in the live stream couldn’t hear anything either.

    After all, given his status, Yan Ye wouldn’t dare to mock him for being afraid of ghosts in front of everyone.

    It’s just… the other person’s breath was too close to him, making his ears itch. He really wanted to scratch them.

    “CEO Song…” Yan Ye didn’t finish speaking when Song Yang interrupted him, “Don’t talk, you’re making my ears itch.”

    Yan Ye lowered his head. Although he couldn’t see this person’s expression clearly right now, based on the impression from daytime, Yan Ye imagined Song Yang must be glaring at him with those handsome eyes, annoyed.

    However, seeing that this person’s hands were full, he decided to be kind and help him rub his ear.

    A pair of warm hands just touched his ear when Song Yang tilted his head up. Before he could say the word ‘you’, a low male voice came from above his head, “Let’s keep going forward and look.”

    Song Yang quieted down again, but his ears were uncontrollably burning. Especially the next second, a warm breath approached his cheek, reminding him next to his ear, “You’re not wearing shoes, be careful!”

    “I know, you don’t need to remind me,” Song Yang replied in a less-than-calm tone, extremely annoyed.

    What is this person trying to do? Why is he so close? Is he trying to take advantage of me? Is he also a small star who wants to climb into my bed and gain status?

    Although Song Yang’s thoughts were running wild, his steps still closely followed Yan Ye.

    The light from the phone flashlight was limited and couldn’t illuminate the whole area at once, so they could only walk slowly.

    There were many walls with graffiti. Although the cameraman wasn’t as startled as he was initially, he was still recording with a pale face, muttering to himself, praying for something.

    Song Yang pursed his lips, his gaze falling on the graffiti on the walls, sketching a horrifying picture in his mind.
