▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan frowned and looked at the weak male ghost, asking, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The male ghost shook his head, "No."
"Go aside, next."
A female ghost stepped forward, straightforwardly saying, "During the period when Li Manning was bedridden due to illness, I slapped her."
The casual attitude made Qin Ruan furrow her brows.
She stared at the female ghost and asked three consecutive questions, "What illness did Li Manning have? Why couldn't she get out of bed? Why did you hit her?"
The female ghost face was full of anger as she said resentfully, "She has poor health and relies on medication to sustain herself throughout the year. Every time she should have attended major events, she never showed up because she was too weak to get out of bed."
"As for hitting her, it's because she's despicable! She seduced my boyfriend!"
Qin Ruan glanced skeptically at the female ghost, whose body seemed to have been dismembered during her lifetime, with obvious signs of patchwork.
She spoke with certainty, "Are you Li Manning's spokesperson?"
"Yes!" The female ghost nodded, adopting a superior posture.
Qin Ruan's gaze turned cold, clearly displeased, and she asked, "Apart from hitting Li Manning, what else have you done?"
"Nothing!"
Qin Ruan waved her hand dismissively and shouted, "Next!"
Another female ghost stepped forward, her face adorned with enchanting makeup. Without waiting for Qin Ruan's question, she proactively spoke, "I was Li Manning's makeup artist. When she was with Young Master Nangong, I took advantage of the opportunity and climbed into his bed. Li Manning broke up with him at that time."
Qin Ruan stared at the relatively decent-looking face of this female ghost and thought to herself that Nangong Chang really didn't discriminate.
She was somewhat curious, "You managed to climb onto Nangong Chang's bed. You must have some skill."
"He was drunk and mistook me for Li Manning." The makeup artist didn't conceal the fact that she used means.
She looked contemptuous and mocked, "Li Manning is really foolish. With Young Master Nangong as her support, why didn't she cling to him more? Instead, she played the role of being deeply in love, infuriating him and getting herself dumped. As a result, I ended up sleeping with Young Master Nangong just that one time."
The resentment in her words was ironic and laughable.
Clearly, she was the one who did wrong, yet she blamed Li Manning, the victim in this matter.
Qin Ruan curved her eyes, revealing a smile of admiration, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
She tilted her head, her tone ambiguous as she asked, "Anything else?"
"Of course!" The makeup artist's pale face wore an expression of pride. "I even slept with the father of her child, right in front of Li Manning."
Qin Ruan thought that what was previously said had already challenged her moral bottom line, but she didn't expect it could escalate to such an extent.
Sympathy for Li Manning started to grow in her heart. She was surrounded by a pack of predators, each one scheming and vying for her, even resorting to bullying.
A glint of darkness flickered in Qin Ruan's eyes as a chilling smile formed on her lips.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and calmly asked, "Who is the father of Li Manning's child?"
"I don't know his identity, but he's a handsome guy with a great physique, and he's pretty good in that aspect too," the makeup artist replied, savoring the words as she licked her lips.
Qin Ruan inquired further, "Apart from these, what else have you done?"
With an arrogant expression, the makeup artist replied, "I've flirted with all the men who showed interest in Li Manning and had a flirtatious relationship with her. Some of them I succeeded with, while others I didn't. I must say, all those men had superior conditions and were very generous. I've gained quite a few benefits from them."
Listening to her smug tone, Qin Ruan couldn't help but ask, "Are you that desperate for men?"
The makeup artist sneered, "Of course not. But those men who actively pursue me, none of them can compare to the high-quality men around Li Manning. They are rich and have good taste, and I can also gain plenty of benefits from them."
"Hehe..." Qin Ruan chuckled twice, unsure of how to evaluate the other person.
The word "despicable" was no longer enough to describe her; she was utterly shameless.
As Li Manning's makeup artist, she didn't even possess the most basic professional ethics.
Forget about Li Manning seeking revenge on her, killing her, or utterly destroying her; even dispersing her three souls and seven spirits wouldn't be enough to extinguish the hatred.
Qin Ruan couldn't be bothered to look at her punchable face, so she lowered her gaze and waved her hand, listening to the evil deeds committed by other ghosts against Li Manning.
It had to be said that all these ghosts were double-faced individuals in their lifetime.
They had all done things to Li Manning that Qin Ruan considered unforgivable.
Li Manning's studio was actually controlled by her parents. Every project she took on, every endorsement, and every event she attended were all arranged by her parents.
Years of excessive fatigue from work had caused Li Manning's health to deteriorate. She relied on medication to sustain her work.
Even as their daughter's health worsened, Li Manning's parents still didn't let her go. They forced her to take on film and television projects, endorsements for major brands, and attend all events in the entertainment industry.
Li Manning's status in the industry was set, and she earned billions of dollars annually, but all that wealth was controlled by her parents.
And Li Manning herself received very little money, so little that it was almost equal to the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker.
She did have a relationship with a man, but no one in the studio knows who he is.
They only know that Li Manning has a two-year-old son.
Two years ago, after giving birth to her child, Li Manning's health deteriorated to the point where she needed occasional injections to boost her physical strength to be able to work.
There were several instances when she fainted during work, resulting in the loss of several good opportunities.
In order for Li Manning to continue earning money, her parents increased her medication, making her work under heavy physical strain every day.
As a result of long-term heavy work, Li Manning's body was almost drained.
Even so, she still couldn't rest and needed high-dose injections to maintain her physical stamina.
Knowing the harm these medications caused to her body, Li Manning resisted her parents but was forced to take them.
Most members of the studio are aware of this situation. They are even closely monitored by Li Manning's parents and report to them regularly.
Li Manning had several people guarding her every day, and doctors accompanied her, fearing that she might have an accident due to physical exhaustion.
These people were all hired at a high cost by her parents.
Li Manning helplessly watched as her parents spent the money she earned with her health, and the people hired by her parents imprisoned and tormented her, making her live in unbearable pain every day.
Such a tragic experience made Qin Ruan feel suffocated as she listened.
In this age of advanced internet information, Qin Ruan couldn't believe that Li Manning had no other way to escape her parents' control.
The key lies in her mysterious boyfriend and her child.
Through the accounts of the members of Li Manning's studio, Qin Ruan did not find any clues about the child and the father.
Only Zhao, the manager, remained silent. Qin Ruan gazed at him with cold eyes, silently staring at him.
Zhao, feeling a chill down his spine, sensed the air filled with danger.
He pursed his lips, his pale face revealing a hint of difficulty in speaking.
Qin Ruan narrowed her dark eyes and a cold, emotionless smile formed on her lips. Her voice was icy and indifferent, "Zhao, as Li Manning's manager, they don't know anything about Li Manning's child and the child's father. Being on the other side's management team, you must be well aware of this, right? Why don't you tell us?"
Zhao shook his head and slowly spoke, "I don't know..."
"Slap!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a strong and resounding slap echoed in the morgue.
Qin Ruan swung the golden whip in her hand and it fell to the ground, emanating an intimidating aura that startled the puppets.
She stared coldly at Zhao, her eyes filled with icy light, and said in a chilling tone, "I advise you to think twice before speaking!"
Zhao was so frightened that his soul trembled uncontrollably, almost losing his composure entirely.
Fearfully, he gazed at the golden whip in Qin Ruan's hand, remembering the pain it inflicted on him when it struck him. The memory still burned and throbbed.
"I'll talk, I'll talk..." Zhao's agent slowly began, "The story is quite cliché. Li Manning's boyfriend is a private company engineer named Bai Minghui."
He secretly glanced at Qin Ruan's indifferent and cold expression, his throat moved, and he continued, "Three years ago, Bai Minghui met Manning during a heavy rainstorm."
On that day, I personally dropped Li Manning off at a certain brand's event venue and left to attend to other matters. It started raining suddenly, causing me to be late in picking her up.
At the time, Bai Minghui was working nearby. He saw Manning waiting outside in the rain and took the initiative to give her his umbrella. That day, they met and exchanged contact information.
When I went to pick her up, they parted ways. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, until Mr. and Mrs. Li discovered that Manning and Bai Minghui were in a relationship.
To prevent Manning's career from being affected by the romance, Manning's parents opposed their relationship. Many things happened during that time, and in the end, Bai Minghui died."
At this point, Zhao closed his mouth, and his facial expression twisted.
Qin Ruan's eyes were deep and dark, fixed on Zhao's agent. "How did Bai Minghui die?"
The other person's pale face revealed a suppressed expression as he stared directly into Qin Ruan's eyes and replied coldly, "Mr. and Mrs. Li killed Bai Minghui."
Qin Ruan asked, "Why did they kill him?"
Zhao's agent responded, "Li Manning got pregnant, and she wanted to marry Bai Minghui."
"What did you do in all of this?" Qin Ruan didn't believe he was innocent.
A complex expression flickered in Zhao eyes as he looked at his former subordinates, who were now all ghosts. He let out a barely audible sigh and spoke slowly, "To make Manning's parents use Bai Minghui to threaten her, I suggested the idea to them. Bai Minghui knew that Manning was being threatened because of him, so he approached Mr. and Mrs. Li for the sake of the child."
"There was a conflict between them, and in a moment of carelessness, they killed Bai Minghui. Mr. and Mrs. Li had to spend a large sum of money to cover it up. Li Manning almost went insane when she found out, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to work as usual."
"Until I discovered that she had secretly gathered some evidence, preparing to expose us, including her parents' involvement in Bai Minghui's death. To prevent her from ruining her own future and everyone else's, I informed her parents about it."
Zhao tone felt particularly out of place, giving off an abnormal feeling.
