QWAPMP Chapter 64

In the middle of the night, the rain pattered down, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning, destined to be an unpeaceful night.

Song Yang woke up many times during the night, his sleeping position shifting again and again, finally moving into a warm chest, only to be ruthlessly pushed away, after which he continued to move back.

After a while, two pairs of eyes stared at each other in the dark. Yan Ye maintained the pushing motion. Song Yang lowered his voice, unhappy, “Can’t you be a little more well-behaved?”

Yan Ye didn’t speak, just raised an eyebrow.

Song Yang’s face felt hot, and though unreasonable, he argued stubbornly, “Will it kill you to let me lean on you for a bit?”

“No, but isn’t it inappropriate for CEO Song to be like this?” Yan Ye said coldly. Song Yang didn’t care about that and buried his face in his chest again, only then feeling completely secure.

A flash of lightning streaked across the window, illuminating the room for a second. It was just as Yan Ye lowered his head to look at the person buried in his chest. Using the flash of light, he saw Song Yang’s slightly red ears tremble lightly twice.

“Just tonight.” Yan Ye compromised, finding a comfortable sleeping position. One hand rested on Song Yang’s back, and the other was placed above his lower abdomen.

In the other room, after being woken up by the thunder, Huo Sang burrowed into Qin Yan’s quilt with a look of annoyance, saying sullenly, “So noisy.”

Qin Yan didn’t open his eyes, but just moved his hand to cover Huo Sang’s ears, then soothingly patted his back and said softly, “Go back to sleep.”

Early in the morning, everyone came downstairs with dark circles under their eyes. Clearly, no one had slept well last night.

The Director came in from outside, his face pale, holding a phone in his hand.

“Director, has He Lin not returned yet?” Huo Sang, with dark circles around his eyes, forced himself to ask spiritedly.

The Director’s dark circles were even worse than Huo Sang’s. “No. I just contacted people outside to come search, and they said the wind is strong and the waves are high at sea today, so they can only come tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? Then we still have to wait for them on the island?” Xiao Wen exclaimed in surprise, his emotions agitated. “Director, the power on the island is out again, and we can’t even livestream. Why don’t we all go back first?”

Xiao Wen’s voice was anxious, and his face was strange. Yan Ye glanced at him and saw that his forehead was dark, and there was a small patch of undried water stain under his feet.

Haunted by a vengeful spirit, Xiao Wen probably had nightmares all night, which is why he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Do you think I don’t want you to leave early? Can we leave right now? Did you not hear what I just said?” the Director said irritably, feeling annoyed. This was an unexpected incident that had never happened before.

Huo Sang hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t we go look again? Maybe He Lin just got lost somewhere on the island.”

“Huo Sang is right. Thank you everyone for your hard work. Please trouble everyone to look again,” the Director said in a deep voice. A little hope also ignited in his heart, hoping that, just as Huo Sang said, He Lin hadn’t met with an accident but was just lost.

The crowd had no objection, only Xiao Wen’s eyes were off. His lips moved, as if he wanted to object, but finally, seeing that no one else objected, he closed his mouth.

The weather today was not good. It was gloomy outside, and it was raining. Strong winds blew in gusts, making people feel awe towards nature.

Despite the terrible weather, although everyone didn’t really want to go look for the person, thinking that human lives were at stake, they all gritted their teeth and rushed into the rain curtain.

Yan Ye put on his raincoat and asked the person next to him, “Is CEO Song also helping to look for someone?”

Last night, Song Yang helped them look for someone largely because he didn’t dare to stay in the villa alone at night. Now that it was daytime, surely he wouldn’t…

Song Yang forced a fake smile. “Do you have an opinion?”

Yan Ye shook his head and glanced at Xiao Wen before leaving. This one look made Xiao Wen’s face change drastically, because among these people, Yan Ye was the one most likely to suspect him.

Xiao Wen clenched his fist and pretended to walk away as if nothing had happened. Only he himself knew how fiercely his heart pounded at the moment he brushed past Yan Ye.

Yan Ye wasn’t searching aimlessly like last night. Now that he knew He Lin had died by drowning, and her body was in the sea, and today the waves were so big, her body was very likely. It had likely already been washed up on the beach.

Now, only by searching the beaches by the sea could he possibly find He Lin’s body.

Song Yang didn’t follow anyone else, only Yan Ye. Seeing that he didn’t speak and kept walking towards the sea, he asked suspiciously, “You suspect Xiao Wen, just like me, right?”

Perhaps at the beginning yesterday, he only mentioned that He Lin was last with Xiao Wen and didn’t suspect anything, but later, Xiao Wen’s guilty actions made Song Yang truly start to suspect him.

Yan Ye lightly curved his lips. “You say you’re the same as me? If Xiao Wen knew you were also suspecting him, would he also…?” He paused for a moment. Yan Ye didn’t say the words “killed you,” but looking at Song Yang’s darkening gaze, it meant he had already understood what Yan Ye meant.

Sometimes living people are more terrifying than dead ones, because their hearts are full of schemes and they won’t stop until they achieve their goals.

Song Yang outlined a sarcastic smile, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. On the contrary, what he feared was not the living.

Ever since everyone left the villa, Xiao Wen’s heart had been filled with fear and unease. He knew that some people among them had started to suspect him, but there was no evidence. It wouldn’t matter if only Yan Ye suspected him, but it was that CEO Song!

Xiao Wen knew well that he couldn’t just sit and wait for death. He glanced at the sky, lowered his gloomy eyes, and ran towards the heavy rain.

He Lin’s body was found at the abandoned port. The body had been soaked white by the seawater, her eyeballs protruded, her lips were bloodless, and her nose was filled with sand.

Song Yang only took one look before turning his head away.

Yan Ye’s expression was indifferent, as if he had already expected it. He squatted down and checked, confirming that the person had died by drowning. Just as he was about to tell Song Yang to call the others over, he saw Xiao Wen suddenly coming towards them.

Song Yang didn’t look at Xiao Wen but walked to the side to make a phone call.

The call connected. Song Yang was about to speak, “Director, we… Mmm…”

Before Song Yang could even exclaim, his body felt light. He widened his eyes, unable to believe that Xiao Wen was so bold as to try to murder him and silence him in broad daylight, and even in front of another person.

Yan Ye suddenly looked up, his movements faster than his thoughts. He reached out and pulled Song Yang back, preventing him from falling into the sea.

Song Yang was stiff all over, as if he hadn’t managed to react.

If Yan Ye’s movements had been a second slower, he would have already been swept away by the turbulent seawater.

Song Yang was filled with lingering fear, his eyes tinged with a thin layer of red due to anger. “Xiao Wen, you dared to push me!”

Having failed to push the person down, Xiao Wen was filled with regret. “CEO Song, what are you saying?”

He didn’t regret pushing Song Yang, but regretted not being a second faster.

“What am I saying? Do you f*cking want to play dumb?” Song Yang impatiently swung away Yan Ye’s hand and strode quickly to Xiao Wen. Without any unnecessary words, he just threw a punch, directly staggering him.

Yan Ye watched from the side at his leisure, his gaze never leaving Song Yang for a moment.

“CEO Song, you… listen to me explain, it really wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me just now…” Xiao Wen explained in a flustered manner, “The one who pushed you just now was Yan Ye, it was him, I saw it with my own eyes!”

Yan Ye! Song Yang’s punching fist stopped. As if he had heard some joke, his angry eyes suddenly started laughing, chuckling out of anger, “Do you think I’m stupid?”

With that, he let go of Xiao Wen as if throwing away trash, walked to Yan Ye’s side, and said indignantly, “This guy slandered you like that, aren’t you going to teach him a lesson?”

Yan Ye said in a lazy tone, “It would dirty my hands.”

Song Yang looked at those slender fingers, a subtle change in his gaze. “Right.”

After speaking, he took out his phone to call and inform the Director and others to come here.

On the other end of the phone, when the Director heard the four words “He Lin’s body,” his voice became hoarse for a few seconds before he finally said he would come right away.

Everyone arrived. Their attention was all on He Lin, and they didn’t notice the injury on Xiao Wen’s face.

Bringing He Lin’s body back to the villa, Yang Fan found a blanket to wrap her up, his eyes looking at Xie Jifeng in confusion.

At this moment, everyone’s mood was very heavy. No one spoke, they just slowly lowered their heads.

Song Yang suddenly let out a scoff, breaking the heavy silence. “Before people arrive on the island tomorrow, please have your film crew members keep an eye on Xiao Wen for me.”

His words were too strange, everyone’s eyes showed confusion.

In Xiao Wen’s cold gaze, Song Yang’s smile was arrogant. “This kid, just when He Lin’s body was found, tried to kill me.” A single, calm sentence made everyone’s face change.

Yang Fan was shocked, his lips trembling. “Why?”

Huo Sang was equally shocked. “CEO Song, what were you just saying!”

Had he misheard?

Before Xiao Wen could open his mouth to defend himself, Song Yang spoke first, “Because he wants to silence me!”

“I suspect He Lin’s death is related to him, so he wanted to kill me and then frame Yan Ye.” Song Yang said at the end, glancing at Yan Ye.

The other person was too calm, his expression unchanged, which made him purse his lips unhappily.

Whether He Lin’s death was intentional or accidental, no one had thought about it at first because it was too sudden. Now that Song Yang said it was intentional, everyone’s face changed drastically upon hearing this, and their gazes all turned to suspicion, looking at Xiao Wen one after another.

Whether it was true or false, no one wanted to become the second He Lin, or even CEO Song.

“He’s talking nonsense, it wasn’t me, I didn’t harm anyone.” Xiao Wen forced a stiff smile, trying to make everyone believe him.

Everyone took a step back, including Yang Fan.

Yan Ye’s gaze fell on Xie Jifeng. When Yang Fan retreated, the other person had already stood in front of him, in a protective stance, which displeased some people.

Song Yang was unhappy, and it was difficult for Xiao Wen to even defend himself. “Don’t you know if it was you? What people do, ghosts see. Aren’t you afraid that He Lin will come back in your midnight dreams to claim your life?”

“Shut up, what ghosts? If they really exist, then let her come!” Seeing that no one would believe him, Xiao Wen’s rationality collapsed bit by bit, his demeanor appearing frantic.

Seeing him like this, the Director also half-believed Song Yang’s words and had the production crew members tie him up first with a rope, waiting for people to come to the island tomorrow for investigation before saying anything more.
