Sheng Xing Ze shook his head to shake off some weird ideas in his mind, moving his attention back on the matter to be solved in front of him.
"I would like to talk to Senior Pang, can you help me contact him?" he said to Bin Cong Meng.
Bin Cong Meng shook her head, she let out a low sigh, and told Sheng Xing Ze in a low mood, "He doesn't even let me see him, all my contact information to him got blocked out, I can only give you his number."
"Then I will find a way to contact Senior Pang. I will tell you in advance if I have any plan," Sheng Xing Ze thought for a moment.
"Thank you."
Even though it was the first time they met, Bin Cong Meng had a great desire to talk to this young man. She did not say it out loud, but deep inside she had already believed that Sheng Xing Ze would be able to help her.
"If you need anything in the future, you can come looking for this Sister Meng. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
"Thank you Sister Meng."
"It should be I thank you. If you can persuade your brother-in-law to come back, we will have you as our best man when we get married!"
Sheng Xing Ze once again thanked her and sent Bin Cong Meng back to her car, then Sheng Xing Ze walked in the opposite direction.
He returned to the hotel with a heavy heart, he did not know if Yu Bai had any shooting today. When he thought of Yu Bai's face, Sheng Xing Ze could not help but remember his dream from last night.
Sheng Xing Ze stood at the door of Yu Bai's room for a while and knocked on the door as if he was heading into a battle.
Yuan Yuan opened the door, and Yu Bai was not in the room.
Seeing Sheng Xing Ze, Yuan Yuan hurriedly handed over the room cardkey to him. "Brother Sheng, you finally came back. Brother Yu asked me to give you this before he left. I'm going to the set to find him. You can tell me anything. Brother Yu let Mi He Qiu go home first."
Yuan Yuan hurriedly left the hotel after finishing talking with Sheng Xing Ze. Sheng Xing Ze had not had time to say anything, and Yuan Yuan was already out of his sight.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at the room cardkey in his hand and fell into silence again.
The room had been cleaned, and Sheng Xing Ze felt relieved and somewhat embarrassed that two quilts were laid on the bed. He did not know what kind of excuse to use to stay over tonight, but Yu Bai did not seem to expect him to be leaving any time soon.
After rolling around on the bed, Sheng Xing Ze successfully mixed the two quilts together. He then fixed his shaggy hair, and neatly folded the two quilts and put them back to their original places.
After sitting on the bed for a long time, Sheng Xing Ze dialed the number given to him by Cong Meng, and the other party hung up the call mercilessly.
Sheng Xing Ze preserved to make a few more calls, finally the other party answered the call.
"Don't call me anymore, I've given you all of my savings, what else do you want from me? I warn you, Bin Cong Meng has broken up with me, it's useless to come to her for money."
Before Sheng Xing Ze could speak, the other party suddenly hung up.
Sheng Xing Ze blinked and looked at his phone to make sure he dialed the right number before making a call to Bin Cong Meng.
"Sis Meng, is Senior Pang short of money?"
"No, he shouldn't be short of money because he gets paid a lot," Bin Cong Meng was a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly ask this, did you find out anything?"
"Not really, I just have a hunch," Sheng Xing Ze slowly hung up the phone. He basically had a wild guess. However, he did not want to worry Bin Cong Meng when he did not have a definite answer.
Judging from the phone call just now, recently Pang Shi must have been paying someone without telling Bin Cong Meng about it, and the amount was not a small number, because it used up all of Pang Shi's savings over the years. The other party was likely to threaten Pang Shi if he does not hand them more money, the person will go to Bin Cong Meng to ask for the money. Pang Shi wanted to hide this fact from Bin Cong Meng, so naturally he would not let the other go to Bin Cong Meng, so he could only try to fill the other's requests.
Sheng Xing Ze clamped his phone between his index finger and his thumb, twirled it around as he tried to connect the dots.
"Brother Bei, please do me a favor." He dialed Bei Mao Xun's number
"Busy, won't help, it's no use calling me your father."
Since the previous incident, the relationship between Sheng Xing Ze and Bei Mao Xun had been good. Sheng Xing Ze appreciated the man's ability in his work. Bei Mao Xun liked it that Sheng Xing Ze is very generous in his payment, and the two people inexplicably formed a kind of harmony, they would call each other for small chat occasionally.
"Help me check if Pang Shi's bank account has a large amount of capital flow recently, thank you!"
Bei Mao Xun complained, "This kind of thing can be solved by anyone, why should I spend my splendid life working on it."
"Because I have more splendid money than your life, you call the price."
"Fine, I'll work on it." Bei Mao Xun hung up and started to work.
Bei Mao Xun always said that he was busy, but in fact, he only took on a few requests throughout the year. Usually those requests were of high commision, in which helped him be able to live a splendid life, and also he could make a name for himself. Most of the time, this private detective just leisurely enjoyed his life.
Sheng Xing Ze's phone call only made him occasionally do some minor works, and he quickly replied to Sheng Xing Ze.
"Pang Shi did indeed wire money to an account. I was afraid that all of his savings in these years were included in that transaction. The other party is just an ordinary farmer; but, what strange is that all that money Pang Shi wired had all vanished. It's either the money got transferred, or the farmer got himself into some shady business."
Sheng Xing Ze lowered his gaze and responded casually.
"I'm done, you, payment."
Sheng Xing Ze pretended to hang up the phone without hearing those words.
Bei Mao Xun heard the busy tone coming from his phone, his splendid life had been spent, yet the beautiful golden remuneration had not yet been received. He angrily dialed another person's phone number.
"Yu Bai, pay your wife's bill!"
**
Sheng Xing Ze slipped into the crew quietly and found Yu Bai sitting in a chair at a glance. He carefully walked around Yu Bai and sat down neatly, without disturbing many people along the way.
Yu Bai flipped through the script while pretending not to see Sheng Xing Ze.
"Brother Bai, please do me a favor," Sheng Xing Ze lay on Yu Bai's armrest, put his head on the script, and blocked Yu Bai's view of the script with his small face.
Yu Bai moved his head away and closed the script then looked at Sheng Xing Ze without saying a word.
Oh my god, so handsome!
Sheng Xing Ze thought, with a silly smile on his lips.
"Take me to the next door to find Pang Shi."
Yu Bai's face got even more gloomy, pushing Sheng Xing Ze away.
"Busy, don't have time."
When Bei Mao Xun called him earlier, he guessed that Sheng Xing Ze might have found something interesting, but this guy suddenly disappeared early in the morning and was gone for the whole day. The first sentence he said was to help find Pang Shi.
Yu Bai got all irritated inside, his whole person exuded a don't-you-dare-come-close aura.
Sheng Xing Ze was accustomed to this appearance of his, so he was not afraid at all.
"Brother Bai, can you help me please? I agree to anything you want."
Yu Bai glanced coldly at him, "Give me your body."
Sheng Xing Ze blushed and patted Yu Bai's shoulder coyly, "you devil."
I can! Come here, don't pity me, this delicate flower.
Yu Bai squeezed Sheng Xing Ze's face and left two fingerprints with satisfaction. Before Sheng Xing Ze complained, Yu Bai patted Sheng Xing Ze on the back and dragged him out of the chair.
"Let's go."
"Eh, don't you have to shoot anymore?" Sheng Xing Ze was being dragged almost out of the door by Yu Bai, turning around to look back to the direction of the director, "Don't you need to tell him you're leaving?"
"I finished a long time ago." It's just that you didn't want to see me so I didn't go back.
With Yu Bai's humanoid pass, Sheng Xing Ze successfully entered the filming site next door.
Pang Shi got stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Bai, and wondered why this top figure in the entertainment industry suddenly came to his filming site to visit the crew. The two of them only met once. He understood it well that Yu Bai would not really come here to visit the set.
He heard Yu Bai say he wanted to talk to him so he took them to his private lounge.
"Senior Yu, do you have any advice?" Pang Shi poured a glass of water in front of him, and three people sat on the sofa.
Yu Bai did not speak, staring indifferently at Sheng Xing Ze who was smiling towards Pang Shi, he started to feel regret 800 times in his heart, he agreed to help without a second thought.
"Senior Pang, my name is Sheng Xing Ze. I called you at noon today, but it seems that you have misunderstood something, and you hung up before I could introduce myself."
Pang Shi's face suddenly turned indescribable.
"Is there something you want?" His tone was not very friendly, and he stood up directly, "If not, I have shooting to do first."
Sheng Xing Ze ignored Pang Shi's eviction order, and the expression on his face had not changed.
"I want to ask about you and Senior Bin Cong Meng."
Sheng Xing Ze glanced up at Pang Shi, and when he looked at Pang Shi's face, there was a second of trance on his face. His eyes looking at Sheng Xing Ze became more and more gentle, as if he was looking at another person through Sheng Xing Ze's face.
Sheng Xing Ze broke through Pang Shi's beautiful dream mercilessly, and knocked the man back to reality with his words, "Why do you want to break up with Senior Bin, you don't love her anymore?"
Hearing this, Pang Shi froze. He seemed to be hit by a bullet and then stepped back a few steps, hitting the sofa weakly.
Silence.
Pang Shi shed tears and shook his head in despair, but did not say a word for a long time.
Sheng Xing Ze did not expect that he would have such a huge response. When he handed the tissue on the table to Pang Shi, "Senior, I can't help you if you don't tell me."
Pang Shi clenched his fists on his knees, his body was trembling slightly as if he was suffering a great pain.
"How could I don't love her anymore, everything I have was given by her, she is everything to me." He opened his eyes to look at Sheng Xing Ze, the sorrow among them deeply infected the other two people.
"But I'm afraid, if she knew, she would leave..." Pang Shi's elbows rested on his knees, his head lowered a little bit.
Sheng Xing Ze supported his sinking shoulder, stopped his attempt to cover his face, and crouched in front of Pang Shi. Sheng Xing Ze looked the other in the eyes, "Know what?"
"I can't say it, absolutely cannot say it."
