Chi Shuyan, Director Li and Xie Mingxuan went over together and saw that a crowd had already gathered.

The people next to Ruan Shenglin had already pulled him away. The purple and black bruises on the neck of the man on the floor were a ghastly sight. There was still lingering fear in his eyes as he slumped on the floor and didn’t move.

When he looked at Ruan Shenglin, who was being pulled away, he was still at a loss. It was obvious that he didn’t know what was going on, and he was gasping heavily.

Many people saw how Ruan Shenglin had looked like he wanted to strangle someone just now, and they were all wary and stared at him in horror. A few of them wanted to secretly discuss it, but under his gaze, they didn’t dare say a word.

When they saw Director Li, everyone seemed to have found their backbone. A rather handsome man suddenly strode over to Director Li’s side and whispered, “Director Li, something seemed off about Film Emperor Ruan’s mood just now!”

The person who spoke wanted to downplay the incident, but when he thought of the scene just now and the hideous expression on Movie Emperor Ruan’s face, he subconsciously trembled. He thought to himself that not only had Film Emperor Ruan’s mood seemed off, it was as if he had run into something evil, but also as if he had taken drugs. He had almost strangled Chen Mu to death in public.

Director Li naturally didn’t believe that Ruan Shenglin would strangle someone to death in public. He first looked at the marks on the neck of the person who lay prone on the floor, and his expression changed drastically. Then, he hurriedly looked at Ruan Shenglin’s face. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem right.

Director Li admired Ruan Shenglin, who was especially capable and had a good character. He didn’t want him to lose his reputation over such a small matter. Such a big thing had happened at this gathering tonight, so he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.

Or, it could be that someone had deliberately drugged Film Emperor Ruan. For a moment, Director Li didn’t know if Film Emperor Ruan was possessed or if he had been set up, so he simply looked in Master Chi’s direction. He then immediately reacted and called a few waiters over, and told them to stand guard at the door and not let the media in yet, nor to let anyone take photos of what had happened here.

Xie Mingxuan and Yu Qun were also there. When Yu Qun had seen Chi Shuyan earlier, he had been excited. If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, he would have found time to catch up with her. Yu Qun was about to excitedly call out, “Master Chi,” when Chi Shuyan shut him up with a look.

Director Li waited anxiously for Master Chi’s reply. He stared at her and called out softly, “Master Chi!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t pay much attention to him. Her attention was all on Ruan Shenglin not far away, whose breathing was starting to pick up. The veins on his temples suddenly started to bulge again, and his face grew redder and redder, as if he couldn’t breathe. Chi Shuyan’s face changed drastically, and she examined him again. She saw a ball of black aura darting around under his skin. Before she could speak, Ruan Shenglin suddenly screamed and struggled free of the people holding him. He then grabbed his neck with both hands, as if he had gone crazy. He looked like he wanted to strangle himself to death. As he grabbed his neck, he spat out with a flushed face, “Die… I want to die! I want to die!”

Ruan Shenglin’s appearance shocked the people around him again, and they screamed. Xie Mingxuan was the first to react, and he stepped forward to stop him.

But for some reason, Film Emperor Ruan was especially strong this time. A few of the people who tried to help were almost thrown off. Fortunately, Film Emperor Ruan was held down in the end.

Even after being pressed down, Ruan Shenglin continued to struggle. He gasped for breath, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous and irritable. One moment, his veins bulged, and the next, he suddenly laughed.

The more everyone looked, the more horrified they felt.

Chi Shuyan was about to speak, when a female voice next to her rang out first. “Director Li, why does it look like Film Emperor Ruan’s drug addiction is acting up?”

Chi Shuyan looked over and saw that it was Qin Qing.

Sure enough!

As soon as Qin Qing said that, everyone was in an uproar. Almost everyone, who felt that something was off, thought that it was especially possible that it was a drug addiction which was acting up. Only a small number of people felt that Movie Emperor Ruan was possessed.

Director Li was originally certain that Ruan Shenglin was possessed, but when he heard Qin Qing’s words, he was uncertain for a moment. Looking at Ruan Shenglin’s appearance, it did look like a drug addiction was acting up.

Director Li hesitated for a moment and didn’t speak, but the commotion grew bigger and bigger, and more and more people gathered around. There were even people who snuck their phones out to record the scene, and Director Li’s expression was very unsightly.

Chi Shuyan was the first to speak. “Director Li, why don’t you take Film Emperor Ruan to the lounge to rest first? Why do I feel that he’s just under too much pressure? He’ll be fine after venting!”

As Chi Shuyan spoke, she had Xie Mingxuan and the others immediately take Ruan Shenglin to the lounge. Qin Qing, on the other hand, couldn’t take it anymore. She couldn’t help but advise Director Li kindly, “Director Li, why do I feel that Film Emperor Ruan’s drug addiction is especially scary and serious? Why don’t we send him to the hospital for a checkup?”

As soon as Qin Qing said that, many people immediately echoed her. After all, competition was rife in the industry. If something happened to Ruan Shenglin today, it would be bad for him, but not necessarily for others. If something really happened to him, the resources he held would definitely be redistributed, and they would be able to gain more. So, many people echoed her this time.

Just then, Zhuang Yanru suddenly said, “Why don’t I take a look at Film Emperor Ruan? I majored in medicine and have dealt with many drug addicts. Why don’t I take a look?”

Chi Shuyan’s attention had been all on Qin Qing just now. Seeing that the woman surnamed Zhuang next to Qin Qing seemed a little interested in Ruan Shenglin’s outburst, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but couldn’t say what was wrong.

Before Chi Shuyan could speak, Director Li hurriedly agreed for Ruan Shenglin’s sake. After that, Director Li thought of Master Chi and immediately looked at her. Chi Shuyan nodded at Director Li and narrowed her eyes. “Alright!”
