The top star opened his eyes and became cannon fodder, the celebrity's wife was exposed

Chapter 1260 Carpet Search

He walked to the window, looked at the bustling crowd outside, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He must find out the other party's identity and purpose as soon as possible in order to protect himself and Mu Bai.

At this time, Jiang Mubai pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Cheng Yunchuan's gloomy face, he asked with concern: "Yunchuan, what's wrong with you? You look so bad."

Cheng Yunchuan forced a smile, not wanting to make Jiang Mubai worry, and said lightly: "It's okay, I just received a harassing phone call."

Jiang Mubai walked up to him, gently took his arm, and said softly, "Are you really okay? I see you seem very nervous."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's concerned eyes, and his heart warmed. He patted her hand gently and said, "It's really okay, don't worry."

He paused, and decided not to tell Jiang Mubai about this for the time being, so as not to make her worry: "It's just some boring sales calls, ignore it."

Although Jiang Mubai was a little skeptical, Cheng Yunchuan didn't want to talk more, so she didn't ask any more questions. She changed the subject and said, "By the way, my agent said there is a new variety show that invites my husband and me to participate together. What do you think?"

Cheng Yunchuan came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "What type of variety show?"

"A couple reality show. It's said to be quite popular."

Jiang Mubai explained: "It can show our daily life as a couple and increase our exposure."

Cheng Yunchuan pondered for a moment and had an idea. This might be an opportunity. He could use the resources of the program team to secretly investigate the source of the mysterious phone call.

"Okay, then take it."

Cheng Yunchuan nodded and agreed: "I can take this opportunity to spend some time with you."

Jiang Mubai smiled brightly when she heard that. She stood on tiptoe, kissed Cheng Yunchuan on the cheek and said, "I knew you would agree! You are the best!"

Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai's waist and whispered in her ear: "Silly girl, of course I have to treat you well."

In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan cooperated with the crew in filming calmly on the surface, but secretly began to investigate the mysterious phone call.

He used his connections in the hacker group to track the source of the call, but found that the other party used encryption technology, making it difficult to track.

At the same time, the recording of the variety show also began. The program team arranged for several celebrity couples to live in the same villa and live together for a month.

As the most popular couple, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai naturally received the special attention of the program crew. The camera followed their lives almost 24 hours a day, recording their every move.

In front of the camera, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai showed their loving and sweet side, and their every move was full of love.

They cook together, take walks together, and watch movies together, just like an ordinary couple. Their life is simple but warm.

However, beneath the calm surface, there were undercurrents. Cheng Yunchuan never let his guard down. He paid close attention to everything around him, trying to find the person who threatened him.

One night, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were walking in the garden of the villa. The bright moonlight shone on them, making them look particularly romantic.

Jiang Mubai suddenly stopped and looked up at Cheng Yunchuan with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Yunchuan, have you been worried about something recently? It seems that you are always absent-minded."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's worried eyes and his heart softened. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her part of the truth.

"Actually, I've received some threats recently." Cheng Yunchuan told Jiang Mubai about the mysterious phone call and concealed his identity as a hacker.

After Jiang Mubai heard this, his expression became serious: "Who would threaten you? Could it be your competitor?"

Cheng Yunchuan shook his head: "I don't know. The other party didn't reveal his identity. He just said that he knew a lot of my secrets."

"Secret?" Jiang Mubai was puzzled. She looked Cheng Yunchuan up and down.

"What secret?" she asked tentatively, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Cheng Yunchuan avoided Jiang Mubai's gaze and said vaguely: "Some business matters are complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a short time."

Jiang Mubai keenly noticed Cheng Yunchuan's evasion, and she felt even more uneasy, always feeling that Cheng Yunchuan was hiding something from her.

An inexplicable feeling of fear surged in her heart, and she held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the villa.

The scream came from the maid in the villa. She pointed upstairs, her face pale, and shouted incoherently: "Blood...blood...so much blood!"

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over her. She didn't care about anything else and pulled Cheng Yunchuan upstairs.

In the guest room on the second floor of the villa, a young man was lying in a pool of blood with a dagger stuck in his chest. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.

Cheng Yunchuan recognized the deceased at a glance. He was a supporting actor in the crew named Lin Hao.

"Call the police!" Cheng Yunchuan made a prompt decision and said to the staff behind him.

Jiang Mubai stood aside, her face pale and her body trembling slightly. Although she had been in the entertainment industry for many years, she was still extremely shocked and terrified to see such a scene.

The police quickly arrived at the scene, cordoned off the villa, and questioned everyone present.

As witnesses, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai naturally became the focus of investigation.

"When was the last time you saw the deceased?" the police officer asked seriously.

"We filmed a scene together on the set this afternoon." Cheng Yunchuan replied calmly.

"Then?"

"After that, I went back to my room to rest, and Mu Bai went to participate in the recording of a variety show."

"Are there any conflicts between you?"

Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai looked at each other and shook their heads.

"According to our understanding, the deceased had conflicts with many people, including his agent, his ex-girlfriend, and even his competitors."

The police officer continued: "So, we suspect this was a murder of passion or revenge."

Cheng Yunchuan frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

"Officer, I suspect this murder is related to the threats I received before." Cheng Yunchuan told the police about the mysterious phone call.

After hearing this, the police officer's face became serious. "Can you provide more clues? For example, the other party's phone number or identity information?"

Cheng Yunchuan shook his head. "The other party used encryption technology. I can't trace his identity."

"We will do our best to investigate."

The police officer said: "Before that, please cooperate with our investigation and do not leave the city."

In the next few days, the police conducted a carpet search of the villa and conducted detailed investigations on all relevant personnel, but they still did not find any valuable clues.
