Chapter 149 So Fierce!
Yan Xun sensed the assistant's probing attitude. Xiao Zheng's presence as an assistant was not strong; her biggest characteristic was that she was very obedient.
Or rather, he listens to Yan Xun very much.
Judging from the assistant's words, the other party's background was not simple, which once made Song Baiyuan suspect that he was an undercover agent. Otherwise, why would he be willing to be a life assistant in a boy group?
"He's alright." Yan Xun leaned against his side of the car window, looking at his assistant who was driving. "Is he usually very unruly?"
"I think he's like a quail at the company."
This is absolutely true. His assistant at the company was also very quiet. When Yan Xun quietly walked up behind him, he was so scared that he trembled. He was just a workhorse who was afraid of being caught slacking off by his boss.
"No, not at all." The assistant smiled.
"But Brother Bai thinks it's quite strange."
"I also wanted to ask if you know anything?"
Yan Xun didn't believe for a second that this was what Song Baiyuan really wanted to ask—if he really wanted to ask, he would have said it directly to him instead of having his assistant probe—Yan Xun felt that this assistant also had some issues; he had specifically asked the assistant to give him a ride in order to get information out of him.
"What could I possibly know?" Yan Xun's words were completely sincere; he genuinely didn't know why Xiao Zheng wanted to be his assistant.
As for whether the gray-clad man he encountered upon entering the dungeon was Xiao Zheng or Lou Yanchuan, Yan Xun wasn't sure.
Anyway, he was suspected by both of them.
"By the way, don't you usually drive my uncle home?" Yan Xun asked. "Why do you need navigation?"
“Brother Bai is usually driven by a driver,” the assistant said. “He values his personal space.”
"I haven't been there many times, so I'm not very familiar with the road conditions there."
Yan Xun nodded, as if he was just asking casually.
He leaned back playing on his phone, then casually asked, "By the way, bro, have you heard about that incident?"
"What's the matter?"
"Regarding the six new employees who committed suicide within a year," Yan Xun asked his assistant, as if he had seen some novel news, "this is a bit frightening..."
"We can't be that unlucky, can we?"
He then looked at his assistant and asked, "Were you already with the company at that time?"
The assistant almost thought Yan Xun had figured something out and was testing her, but then quickly thought, if Song Baiyuan didn't know, there was no reason why Yan Xun, that little fool, would know, so she immediately calmed down, "I hadn't joined the company yet at that time."
"But I've heard about this before."
The assistant recounted the sensational case from his perspective, "but I don't know why."
"Halfway through the investigation, they said it was just suicide, probably because of too much stress..."
"Do you believe it?" Yan Xun asked. "I certainly don't."
"Even under immense pressure, nothing could happen this coincidentally. It's like we've been hypnotized," Yan Xun exclaimed. "Could we be cursed?"
“When I watched horror movies before, there were often haunted houses where people died one after another, and it turned out that they were cursed.”
He put down his phone and looked at his assistant. "Do you believe it?"
"Do you really think it was just a coincidence?"
The assistant felt that Yan Xun was testing him, but in his memory, Yan Xun should be a fool and shouldn't have such cunning.
He had always suspected that the master Song Baiyuan had consulted was related to these six suicide cases, but he was struggling to find evidence.
Although he had been helping Song Baiyuan with his affairs during this time, and knew that the other party would meet a mysterious master, including the obituary for that newcomer, in fact, most of the time, those people died from various accidents.
For example, being killed by a flowerpot falling from the sky, having a sudden car accident while driving, or drowning while swimming.
It looked like an accident to anyone.
If the assistant uses this as evidence to claim that Song Baiyuan and the entire agency are doing evil deeds and casting curses, he'll probably be the first one to end up in a mental hospital.
His companions were also secretly gathering information, saying that this matter couldn't be done in secret; they had to pull off a big heist so that the public would know.
The other side has even infiltrated and obtained some key evidence, such as Mu Yuanming's past, the foundation of He Jinqiu's house, and even Yan Xun himself.
The assistant thought it over and over, and felt that he hadn't revealed anything, so he replied perfunctorily, "It's probably just a coincidence."
Yan Xun propped her chin up and looked at him.
The assistant pretended to be calm while driving.
Finally, Yan Xun turned his head and said, "I thought you were going to tell me that something must be causing this."
"I heard that at the company across the street, a male celebrity was exposed for keeping a ghost child."
Yan Xun suddenly had another thought, "Could it be that they also suffered a backlash from raising ghost children?"
He nodded as he spoke, "Possibly."
"I heard from my uncle that there are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who do these kinds of underhanded things, whether they want to become famous overnight or they want others to be devoted to them..."
"They all committed suicide before they became wildly popular; maybe they really were being haunted by the evil spirits they raised..."
"Impossible!" The assistant suddenly interrupted Yan Xun.
"It can't be about raising a ghost child."
He told Yan Xun with absolute certainty, "They definitely didn't die from raising a ghost child."
Yan Xun seemed startled by his assistant's attitude. He blinked, then patted his chest in dissatisfaction and muttered, "No, it's not."
Why are you being so fierce?
"Besides, I'm just guessing."
Why are you so angry?
Hearing Yan Xun's complaint, the assistant realized that his reaction had been too obvious.
He looked at Yan Xun in a fawning manner, "I just think that the artists in our company wouldn't do such a thing."
"Besides, do ghosts and gods really exist in this world?"
The assistant looked at Yan Xun with a puzzled expression and said, "If there really are ghosts and gods, how come some people who have done bad things can still live well?"
Yan Xun didn't speak because he was reading the live stream comments.
[Our Emperor Yan's acting skills have really improved! Look at that terrified little face, tsk tsk tsk, I almost believed it.]
I can't help but laugh when I see you saying you're scared...
The assistant is definitely the problem!
It seems he and your uncle are not on the same side.
Speaking of your assistant, Xiao Zheng, he's really suspicious. I've always felt he was acting suspiciously.
Since his assistant was with him, Yan Xun could only rely on the system to reply for him.
Why are you acting so suspiciously?
[It's just a gut feeling, you know? I just felt like this person wasn't quite right. Besides, what they said is true, who would willingly endure hardship to be a personal assistant? Are they a masochist?]
Yan Xun glanced at it a few times and then turned off the live stream chat.
He originally thought that after he contacted his assistant, the viewers in the live stream would reveal some clues in the comments. Now it seems that he probably didn't have much contact with his assistant in the timeline before the rollback.
As Yan Xun pondered this, he watched as they arrived near Song Baiyuan's house.
