Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

"Little White God, how are Xie Fu Yao’s injuries?"

Looking at the blood-soaked man before him, Director Wen was still quite worried. After all, something truly terrible couldn’t be allowed to happen.

"Flesh wounds."

Seeing the two words on the ground, Director Wen felt a lot more relieved.

"Possessed."

When he saw the new word written by Little White God, Director Wen felt even more relieved!

’So it’s just a case of possession!’

The way he was just baring his teeth and trying to bite people looked exactly like a zombie from a movie—the kind where one bite spreads the virus.

And they were scared of dying, too.

After seeing the word "possessed," the crew members also felt a lot more relieved.

And so, Xie Fu Yao, already suffering from flesh wounds, had his hands and feet bound with several more loops of rope.

"Director, you have to be our witness. We’re just adding a few more ropes for safety. When Xie Fu Yao wakes up, he’ll see that we saved him."

"Cut the crap and get going."

The director’s eyes swept over the word "danger" that Little White God had written earlier.

Xie Fu Yao was quickly carried away, with a few people taking turns.

"Director Wen, how did Xie Fu Yao get possessed? Why did Little White God say it was dangerous there? How did Xie Fu Yao even end up here? Shouldn’t he have left long ago? Don’t tell me Little White God is waiting for Doctor Wen now?"

Director Wen, who was starting to get impatient, was jolted to attention when he heard the name "Doctor Wen."

That’s right.

Doctor Wen was afraid it would be dangerous, so she gave him a red string for protection.

Later, Doctor Wen left and couldn’t be contacted.

She said Little White would notify him.

But Little White was right there now, clearly waiting for something.

’What could Little White be waiting for?’

’Doctor Wen, of course!’

’So Doctor Wen is nearby?’

Director Wen thought hard. What was nearby?

’Wasn’t there an area not far from where they were standing that was shrouded in a thin mist?’

’And a monkey and a squirrel?’

’Actually, I think it was two monkeys.’

Director Wen felt something was strange, but as an ordinary mortal, he couldn’t just rush into the fray.

Putting these thoughts aside, Director Wen decided to deal with the Xie Fu Yao situation first.

After Xie Fu Yao was brought back, Director Wen had someone call the police.

In less than an hour, Xie Fu Yao was taken away.

And, of course, the scene of Xie Fu Yao being taken away was witnessed by others.

People in this business are most afraid of being taken away by the police; their reputations can plummet into the abyss.

Xie Fu Yao was taken away.

Zhao Qi invited Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan out for dinner and entertainment, but the town was only so big.

There weren’t any big restaurants or fun places to go.

Besides, after what had happened, no one was in the mood for fun.

「Night fell.」

Little White did not reappear.

Doctor Wen did not return either.

Xu Jiali made many calls, but none of them connected. The line was always out of service. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Anxious, Xu Jiali wanted to go find Wen Ying, but the director stopped her.

Song Jiayan wanted to go too.

But in the end, Zhao Qi brought up what Wen Ying had said. When Doctor Wen left, she had told them not to look for her.

If they went now, they would probably just be a burden.

They’d drag Doctor Wen down.

Weighing the options and remembering that Little White was there, Xu Jiali, though uneasy, no longer insisted on going.

’After all, I don’t want to be a burden to Sister Wen Ying.’

’I’ll wait one more day.’

Xu Jiali didn’t sleep a wink all night. When she woke up in the morning, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Song Jiayan was in a similar state.

Neither of them was in good shape.

When dawn broke, a staff member went to ask the director for the day’s schedule, but Director Wen was at a loss himself.

Doctor Wen hadn’t returned.

Xu Yiran had been missing and still hadn’t been found.

And the only new guest who had arrived was Qin Yun.

The key point was, under these circumstances, how could the show go on?

If the esteemed viewers couldn’t see Doctor Wen, would they let it go?

Would they keep watching the livestream?

Tricking the audience wasn’t a big deal, but Director Wen was against doing it at Doctor Wen’s expense.

Although as a director, the show came first.

But to Director Wen, Doctor Wen was more than just a guest on a variety show. Ever since they met, Doctor Wen had helped him a great deal.

Besides, with Doctor Wen’s abilities, Director Wen had long since decided to latch onto this powerful connection.

He may have become a capitalist, but he was still a human being at heart.

In this situation, how could the show possibly continue as normal?

The director told everyone to stand by and wait for further arrangements.

When Director Wen saw Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan, and then looked at Zhao Qi, everything became clear.

No wonder Doctor Wen was especially nice to Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan. Their combined four panda eyes said it all.

In contrast, Zhao Qi looked refreshed and well-rested.

Seeing the look in Director Wen’s eyes, Zhao Qi was a bit bewildered. "Director, why are you staring at me? Did I do something?"

Director Wen gave him a look that was hard to put into words, then shook his head.

Zhao Qi was a little speechless. ’What’s wrong with everyone?’

"Director, I don’t think I can film today," Xu Jiali said as she walked over, her face full of worry and her body language radiating reluctance.

"Director, Doctor Wen still hasn’t come back. I want to go look for her," Song Jiayan also came over, looking at the director with a determined expression.

Zhao Qi: "..."

He suddenly understood the meaning behind the director’s gaze.

"Director—"

"Don’t say anything," Director Wen cut Zhao Qi off, turning to Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan.

"I understand how you feel. Just rest for today. Doctor Wen is a good person who is blessed by heaven. Nothing will happen to her; she’ll definitely come back."

Zhao Qi didn’t understand. Why the sudden talk about good people being blessed by heaven?

That phrase was usually used when someone was in great trouble, maybe even a life-or-death crisis.

’Is Doctor Wen in a life-or-death crisis?’

’Something so major is happening, and no one here knows about it?’

’Could it be... an animal crisis?’

Zhao Qi thought about the troop of monkeys that had appeared in the forest, and he seemed to recall a swarm of rats, too.

"Thank you, Director!"

Just as Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan were about to express their thanks, a vehicle pulled up. The uniformed personnel who stepped out had serious expressions on their faces.

Director Wen immediately went forward, and they spoke about something unknown.

But Director Wen’s expression also grew serious.

After the uniformed personnel left, Director Wen called Xu Jiali and Song Jiayan aside privately. "Xiao Xu, Little Song, the situation with Xie Fu Yao is a bit complicated, and it might be tricky. I suspect it’s also related to Doctor Wen’s disappearance. Before Doctor Wen returns, we’re going to have to stop filming the show. Do you want to stay here, or..."

"We want to wait here for Sister Wen Ying."

"Alright. I’ll go make arrangements for the others, then. We’ll take a week off and wait for further notice."

Zhao Qi felt like he was being excluded.

Director Wen announced to everyone that they were taking a break. Though they were full of questions, no one pressed for details.

Qin Yun came downstairs, looking displeased. She looked at Director Wen. "Director Wen, what is the meaning of this?"

"Miss Qin, I’m sorry. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, we have to temporarily halt production. Don’t worry, I will compensate you for the breach of contract!"

"Breach of contract compensation?" Qin Yun was annoyed. "Do you think I came here for the money?"

’It’s just a few million, that’s only a month’s allowance for me.’
