Afterlife Department

Of course, Hao Baiyun doesn't care what happened to these trainees that are full of dreams, whether they go home to plant potatoes or whatnot. He thinks this is better anyway than climbing the bed of a rich person to do unspoken rules and get resources. Of course, not all trainees are like this, but if you want to enter the entertainment circle, there is always a price to pay.

But, he came here in Yuhua Entertainment because he felt that there was something strange about this incident. Whether this incident was really due to a ghost or not, he will know when they will go to the dormitory of the trainees. Right now, he still has another task to do, and that is to ask Gu Xingfeng about Hyacinth, or Li Fengxin's case.

Since Jing Yu confirmed to him that there is something strange going in this area which he pinpointed before, Hao Baiyun had Zi Chen and Lan Tian investigate if there were any accidents that occurred. It was only when Hao Baiyun and Jing Yu arrived in this district did the strange feeling that Hao Baiyun felt before became stronger. Zi Chen and Lan Tian also told him that only the Yuhua Entertainment had an accident happened last week, which coincided to Hao Baiyun's worry.

"How was it, young master?" Fei Xuli asked after Hao Baiyun and Jing Yu entered the car.

"Go to S City Police Station." Hao Baiyun spoke.

Fei Xuli didn't ask why and just started the car.

"Fortunately, that CEO is superstitious albeit a snob." Jing Yu said while he sat on the front seat.

"What happened?" Fei Xuli asked.

"That CEO is not a good person!" Jing Yu said. "As I have said, he is a snob! He definitely looks down on young master and I!" he frowned in displeasure. "Huh. Fortunately, young master showed him who is the real boss by leaving him hanging after young master told him that we will go to the dormitory of their trainees during night when the yin is the strongest!" he smugly smiled.

Fei Xuli can't help but smile.

"Mo Yang got his wealth through ill means." Hao Baiyun spoke.

Fei Xuli and Jing Yu looked at him.

"He killed someone blood-related to him, most probably his brother. Then, he caused his brother's child to die, which made the karma between him and his elder brother become stronger." Hao Baiyun said amidst Fei Xuli's and Jing Yu's shock. "Mo Yang's time is near. He will get what he deserve, including his wife who had done the deed to his nephew." He told them.

"FCK!" Fei Xuli can't help but curse.

Meanwhile, Jing Yu's face is dark. "The world really has always been a dark place." He said.

Hao Baiyun didn't speak. The car silently drove in the highway, going to the S City Police Station.

…

S City Police Station.

"Chief…" Jiang Xinduo called as he looked at Gu Xingfeng. "My eye has been twitching non-stop lately. Just what in the devil the case that we picked up?!" he asked and frowned.

Gu Xingfeng didn't answer and just looked at Li Fengxin's folder. One week ago, they have been called after someone died in the dormitory building of the trainees of the Yuhua Entertainment. Because the deceased was not someone famous and the news was suppressed by the company, only a few have known that someone died.

The entertainment circle runs deeply, Gu Xingfeng knows this fact. As long as there wasn't anything strange with the accident and no one was found suspicious, then this case was closed. But, Jiang Xinduo said that his eye was twitching ever since they have concluded the case on the second day. He said that it was the ghost of Li Fengxin who wanted them to investigate again her case since there is definitely something strange about this.

But, the thing is, they didn't find anything wrong. It was truly just an accident. There was no foreplay found that happened, nor did they find anyone suspicious. Everyone has an alibi and they even rechecked these people's alibis, especially the trainees. No one also has a beef with the deceased when she was still alive. It was as if –

"This case was too clean, right?" Gu Xingfeng asked, finally speaking for the first time today.

Jiang Xinduo's eyes widened, feeling enlightened. "That is right! This case was really too clean!" he said and frowned. "But, chief, we are sure that we really investigated everyone thoroughly. So, where could have things gone wrong?" he asked. "If there is." He added as he pulled his hair in frustration. "Chief?" he called when he saw Gu Xingfeng's pensive expression. Suddenly, he felt his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly has an ill-foreboding.

Of course, he knows what kind of family Gu Xingfeng had before – exorcists. So, Gu Xingfeng should have some skills in this area. It was just that he chose to become a policeman than an exorcist. But, even so, Jiang Xinduo and the others could feel this mystifying aura surrounding Gu Xingfeng. And the cases that they handled were all solved easily, bringing justice to those who were oppressed.

Right now, Jiang Xinduo felt that mystifying aura again, and he can't help but nervously gulped. "Chief." He called. "Could it be, this case…?" he looked at Gu Xingfeng.

But, Gu Xingfeng didn't answer. He just sat upright on his seat and tapped on the folder of Li Fengxin's case. "Prepare some drinks and snacks. We will have some visitors." He said.

Jiang Xinduo was puzzled, but he didn't ask. He just nodded and went out of Gu Xingfeng's office, about to tell the cook in their pantry when he suddenly heard a car stopped outside their station. He turned and looked outside the window, only to be stunned when he saw some familiar figures, especially the one who came out from the back of the car.

It was Hao Baiyun!

…

"Hey? This is different from what I imagined?" Huo Ling told Mo Shi as they walked down the hallway of the dormitory building of the trainees of the Yuhua Entertainment. "Why are there only little activities? Why are there only a few people here?" he asked him.

"Some trainees leave if their agent found some resources for them like doing a photoshoot for a magazine or casting in a television drama or filming in an MV." Mo Shi answered.

"So there are actually different kinds of trainees?" Huo Ling was surprised.

"En. Most of the trainees often debuts as idols, but there were also some who are loners that wanted to take the singing route or acting route or modelling route." Mo Shi explained. "Sometimes, it would also depend on their agents whether they wanted to control their artist and force them on the acting route, which is the most popular one. Depending on which type of resources they can find easiest." He said.

"I see…" Huo Ling muttered as he curiously looked around the training rooms where overflowing music can be heard, from the instruments to singing voices up to the dancing music.

Mo Shi looked at him. "I heard senior Yi mentioned once that you have sung when you were still alive?" he asked.

Huo Ling's smile turned stiff when he heard this. "I only sung once at a bar as a side gig." He answered.

"Oh…" Mo Shi nodded.

"Hey?" Huo Ling suddenly exclaimed when he saw something.

"What is it?" Mo Shi asked and turned.

"Weren't they that group that performed on the stage which was shown in that giant TV?" Huo Ling asked and pointed to a group of young women who were singing and dancing inside a room which the door is open.

Mo Shi turned. "It is them." he said.

Huo Ling looked at him. "You know them?" he asked when he saw Mo Shi's flat expression.

"En." Mo Shi nodded and resumed walking, passing by that room which the door closed after someone inside noticed it. "They all sold themselves to my cousin when he had come of age before for them to debut." He said.

Huo Ling's mind went blank for a second before his eyes widened in shock. He knows that it is bad to talk behind others' back but Mo Shi's indifferent expression made Huo Ling's heart feel cold. He looked at the face of the person who closed the door and he felt complicated. He feels pity that these girls who shine brilliantly on the stage had to sell themselves before in exchange of their dreams but Huo Ling also knows how deep the waters of the entertainment circle runs.

One wrong step and you will be drowned, never to come into surface to see the light again.. In short, if someone would know about what these girls have done before, then all of their efforts would have been in vain, and they will end up worse than what they had experienced before.
