Chapter 647 – Expert

But, Huo Ling suddenly shook his head.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Shi asked.

“This wouldn’t be easy.” Huo Ling said.

“Why?” Mo Shi asked, surprised.

“People can fake their names and birth dates.” Huo Ling said. “Especially in the entertainment world.” He added.

Mo Shi’s expression turned dark. “Indeed… you have a point.” He said and frowned, feeling angry that he forgot about this matter. 

Huo Ling patted his shoulder to comfort him. “It’s alright. At least we know that Li Fengxin is Hyacinth Li’s real name. We can start from here.” He said.

Mo Shi’s expression eased. “You are right.” He said and sighed. “Then, what should we do?” he asked.

Huo Ling smiled. “Learn more about this exchanging of fate.” He answered.

“… huh?” Mo Shi muttered and blinked.

“I only know this little about exchanging of fates.” Huo Ling explained. “In order to know more, which is a crucial step in getting to the heart of the matter, we naturally have to ask the expert!” he said.

“‘expert’?” Mo Shi asked.

Huo Ling grinned. “We already met them earlier.” He told him.

Mo Shi’s mind turned blank for a second before he stared at Huo Ling. “You don’t mean… Hao Baiyun and Gu Xingfeng?!” he exclaimed.

Huo Ling nodded. “I only know them two, and they are already there. So, why bother ask for other people we don’t know?” he asked.

Mo Shi’s lip twitched. “…” I can’t refute it. He thought and sighed.

Yuhua Entertainment.

“There is no ghost?” Mo Yang frowned after he heard what Hao Baiyun said.

“There aren’t.” Hao Baiyun nodded.

Mo Yang suspiciously looked at him.

Hao Baiyun just smiled. “Or, do you want me to say that there is?” he asked.

Mo Yang frowned.

“Well, I can only say that there are indeed ghosts… in people’s hearts.” Hao Baiyun said and turned to leave.

“Wait!” Mo Yang called. “If there are really no ghosts, then what is happening to the trainees’ dormitory building?” he asked. “One of them even had an accident!” he added.

“I believe that this isn’t a part of the scope of my profession, CEO Mo.” Hao Baiyun said as he turned. “I heard that trainees are under pressure, so why don’t you have them be checked psychologically at first?” he suggested.

Mo Yang’s face reddened in anger. “Are you saying that my trainees are mentally ill?!” he asked.

“I am not. It was you who said it.” Hao Baiyun coolly said. “As for the accident, I believe you know to which authorities you have to ask this.” He said and then left together with Fei Xuli and Jing Yu.

Fei Xuli and Jing Yu silently followed behind Hao Baiyun. They didn’t ask Hao Baiyun as to why he didn’t tell Mo Yang about the matter of exchanging fates. Not only this matter is confidential and taboo in the supernatural world, this also could induce humans’ greed. Just look at what happened to Li Fengxin. Someone was tempted to change their fate, so an innocent person has suffered due to their greed.

“Will chief Gu come in the Yuhua Ent.?” Jing Yu asked.

“It doesn’t necessarily be them.” Hao Baiyun said. “And, it depends on how valuable to Mo Yang his trainees.” He added.

Fei Xuli and Jing Yu nodded in understanding. What Hao Baiyun meant is that if Mo Yang ‘specially’ takes care of his trainees, and he can hire a private investigator about that trainee’s accident so Gu Xingfeng and his team don’t have to step in.

 “The problem is just that person who exchanged fates with Li Fengxin.” Hao Baiyun said as they entered the car. “And what is a bigger problem, how did this person know about exchanging fates, and how did they did it?” he asked.

Fei Xuli’s and Jing Yu’s expressions changed. “This is indeed a problematic matter.” They agreed.

Hao Baiyun sighed, feeling tired. “Let us start first on the person who exchanged fates with Li Fengxin. If we find them, then it will be easier to find the person behind them who taught them about this taboo matter.” He explained.

“Yes.” Fei Xuli and Jing Yu answered. Then, they left the Yuhua Entertainment.

Lower Heaven, Afterlife Department, Collection Department.

“Yi Bing! You are finally here!” Shi Jiu said when the door opened and Yi Bing and Di san entered.

Yi Bing’s brows raised. Di San is similarly surprised. “You are waiting for Yi Bing?” Di San asked.

Shi Jiu nodded. “And you and Gu Shi, too.” He answered.

Di San frowned. “You noticed that there was a change of fate?” he directly asked.

Shi Jiu nodded. “We noticed too late.” He sighed and looked ta Shou Ji who is frowning while checking the Name Record. “It happened too fast. By the time we checked whose fate has changed, that person is already dead.” He explained.

Yi Bing and Di San sighed. They already know that Shi Jiu and Shou Ji are sensitive with this case after what happened before in Shou Ji’s world where a soul has ‘reborn’ and caused him to die after the ‘rebirth’. But, there actually wasn’t a rebirth that happened, but it was just their world doing a self-repair to protect itself when it almost was destroyed by the mental and spiritual power, causing it to almost collapse.

So, Shou Ji and Shi Jiu were always checking the Name Record in case something like this happen. And it did, but only to two people, just that one of them died.

“So, you mean to say that the culprit executed the exchange of fate the second before they die, so that Li Fengxin wouldn’t have the time to be saved?” Di San said.

Shi Jiu nodded. “Yes.” he answered. His expression is angry.

Yi Bing’s face turned cold.

“Yi Bing.” It was Shou Ji who called. “I think this matter isn’t this simple as we can see.” He said. His expression is serious.

Yi Bing looked at him. “En. The exchange of the fates are too swift, as if it was carefully done.” He said.

“Yes.” Shou Ji nodded. “This should be a taboo in the mortal world’s supernatural world since they would pay a heavy price whoever would get involved in this business. Thus, the mortals wouldn’t dare to do this.” He explained.

“But, mortals lose they morals when pushed into a desperate situation.” Di San said.

“That is true, but…” Shi Jiu said.

“Di San.” Yi Bing called.

“Yes?” Di San answered.

“Looking into one’s life is fine, but looking into one’s death… do you think it is still fine?” Yi Bing asked. “This is already the Heaven’s secret. So, which mortal do you think would want to peek into the Heaven’s secret unless they want to die?” he looked at Di San whose eyes widened in shock when he realized it. “Mortals cherish their lives the most, but what if they aren’t a mortal, and is already dead?” he said.

Di San gaped at him in shock while Shi Jiu’s face is serious.

“Precisely my point.” Shou Ji sighed.

Di San looked at them in shock. “You… you don’t think…” he stammered. “Ghosts naturally can’t peek at Heaven’s secrets. That leaves – ” he sucked in a sharp breath.

“The angels…” Yi Bing said. “… and grim reapers. We live in the Heaven, after all.” He said and grinned.

Di San felt a shiver in his spine when he saw Yi Bing’s smile. Yi Bing is enjoying this! He definitely is enjoying this! He thought as his face paled in fright. Shi Jiu and Shou Ji just sighed as they looked at each other, shaking their heads.

Yi Bing obviously despises the Heaven – the Upper Heaven, to be exact.

S City General Hospital.

“Lan Lan… you have to wake up!” Shasha cried as she held Lin Lan’s hand tight as she looked at Lin Lan’s pale face.

Lin Lan is still unconscious, and it has already been five days that passed since Lin Lan has an accident. Shasha can still remember that night that she saw Lin Lan was lying in a pool of blood after Lin Lan fell off the stairs and hit her head when she fell.

Lin Lan still has some consciousness left in her and Shasha immediately asked her what happened after she called for help from the nearby rooms where the other trainees are so that they can call for an ambulance. Lin Lan spoke to her in a weak voice that she saw Li Fengxin’s ghost and that it chased her. That Li Fengxin’s ghost wouldn’t stop until she dies!

Shasha naturally didn’t believe Lin Lan. First, she doesn’t believe in ghost, and that she also believes that Li Fengxin wasn’t killed, so how can Li Fengxin revenge on them? Lin Lan also doesn’t know Lin Fengxin and they didn’t intersect, so how can Lin Lan think that Li Fengxin wanted to kill her? Shasha knows that this is just someone wanting to scare them trainees by spreading a rumor about Li Fengxin’s ghost!
