Chapter 974: The Last of the Last

Waking up from a dream, opening her eyes, through the window, she could see the morning mist.

The world in front of her seemed colder than her heart.

Once upon a time, she naively believed that she would grow old with a man?

She loved someone and could put down all principles for him.

In the end, she could only sit up from the bed alone, in a house so quiet that even breathing seemed to be annihilated, waiting for a destined ending.

He Yuan had been out of contact for two days.

His loss of contact was a sign.

Then, it was the message from Chen Pinhe: I will take good care of Yinglu, you take care of yourself.

So, she didn't go anywhere, didn't escape.

When the doorbell rang, she only had the settlement of "finally here" in her heart.

She put on exquisite makeup, wore a top-brand suit, from hair to soles, meticulous.

The police appeared at her door.

And media reporters who had received the news long ago were carrying long guns and short cannons on the periphery, letting the flashes connect into a sea of light.

Zhang Yuezhen didn't have any resistance, and followed the police into the car with a blank face.

Before getting into the car, she saw Chen Ziyan in the crowd.

She was wearing sunglasses and a mask.

No one recognized her.

However, she saw her at a glance.

As if because she knew long ago, she would definitely be there.

Chen Ziyan was also expressionless.

Although she almost didn't show her face.

The development of events was like an avalanche.

News exploded, all the uproar, came back again.

Lu Yan He, who was far away in Xitu'er, also canceled all itineraries and stopped going out.

Chen Pinhe collapsed in front of the camera, representing his ex-wife, apologizing again and again.

Everyone scolded him as a hypocrite.

Not long after, He Yuan's confession at the police station was circulated.

It was not leaked from the police station.

But the leaked information was not much different from what He Yuan said at the police station.

"Chen Pinhe once had a love affair with Lu Yan He's mother. When they broke up, he didn't know she was already pregnant. Later, when he was with Zhang Yuezhen, Zhang Yuezhen asked me to check Chen Pinhe's past, and I discovered this story."

"Not long after Lu Yan He was born, Chen Pinhe knew of Lu Yan He's existence. He was already married to Zhang Yuezhen at the time. In order not to let Zhang Yuezhen know about this, he didn't go to recognize Lu Yan He, but he didn't know that Zhang Yuezhen had always known about Lu Yan He's existence."

"In order not to let others find out that Lu Yan He was his son, Chen Pinhe had been trying to force Lu Yan He to leave the entertainment industry through his own connections. Who exactly he found, I don't know, but Ma Zhongquan should have been found under such circumstances."

……

"When Lu Yan He was about to become an adult, Zhang Yuezhen was very worried that Chen Pinhe would abandon them mother and daughter for this son. So, she asked me to lure Lu Yan He out, trying to make him drown in the river by accidentally falling into the water. The whole process of Zhang Yuezhen instructing me to do this has recordings."

"Later, Lu Yan He discovered the truth that Chen Pinhe was his biological father and began to confront Chen Pinhe and Zhang Yuezhen. But he didn't know that Chen Pinhe thought Zhang Yuezhen didn't know about Lu Yan He's existence, while Zhang Yuezhen used this point to make the relationship between Chen Pinhe and Lu Yan He even worse."

……

"The reason I chose to help her do these things back then was because she saved my son."

"Why do I stand up and say all this now?"

"Because Zhang Yuezhen killed my son. I did too many things for her, and she wanted to cover my mouth, so she took my son abroad, trying to control him and threaten me. In order to control him, Zhang Yuezhen fed him drugs, but didn't control the dosage, directly killing him, and even tried to hide this matter."

"Half a year ago, Lu Yan He's uncle died. Lu Yan He's aunt and cousin were arranged by Chen Pinhe to go to the United States because he was worried that the two of them would expose the fact that Lu Yan He was his son. Zhang Yuezhen asked me to go over and watch them. On the night of Ma Zhiyuan's livestream, many things happened. Lu Yan He's aunt felt that this was an opportunity to please Lu Yan He and wanted to start a livestream. After Zhang Yuezhen knew, worried that things would get bigger and bigger, she asked us to kidnap them. Later, to prevent long delays, she asked me to solve them."

"I didn't want to kill, but at that time my son was in her hands, I could only find a basement, lock them up, and then lie to Zhang Yuezhen that I had already killed them. Before I turned myself in, I had already notified the US police. I think they have already rescued the people."

……

He Yuan's self-narration was too long.

The amount of information was also too large.

Not only China, because of Lu Yan He's relationship, the media all over the world were paying attention to this matter.

The degree of explosion was comparable to some world-class news events.

The hotel where Lu Yan He stayed in Xitu'er was surrounded by media.

Media from all over the world wanted to see Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He closed his doors and didn't go out, and three meals were delivered to the room to solve.

In the country, someone photographed Chen Pinhe driving out, his eyes red, his spirit exhausted, his whole face thin as if he had lost his appearance, and there were people who claimed to be Chen Pinhe's friends, revealing that Chen Pinhe was devastated and very painful after learning about these things.

Clamor.

Boiling.

The premiere day of "The Original Father" arrived.

For the premiere red carpet, media outlets fought fiercely for a media seat.

Everyone was waiting.

However, after the guests and creators walked the red carpet one by one, Lu Yan He did not appear.

When Huang Tianlin was interviewed, he said: "Sorry, Yan He is unable to attend today because of physical discomfort and can only rest in the hotel."

Not waiting for Lu Yan He, everyone was disappointed.

However, soon, they were grabbed by the movie.

On the big screen, Lu Yan He looked at his father in the movie with deep hatred and said: "I have had many times before, climbing out of bed in the middle of the night, holding a knife, walking to your bedside, wanting to chop down on your neck. You don't know, you sleep very dead, like a dead pig, snoring louder than the sound of a pig being killed. My anger and hatred drove me like a storm to pick up the knife and want to chop down. You never knew, right?"

Inside the film palace, everyone's heart was gripped by Lu Yan He's eyes; as his monstrous hatred surged beneath his calm exterior, they could barely breathe.

In Huang Tianlin's movie, Lu Yan He was reborn again, changed into another person, but it was still him.

Conflict, violence, roaring.

Lu Yan He is an absolute star, and also an extreme actor.

Every move of his involves everyone's attention, and there will not be a trace of distraction.

Until the end.

Everything goes to the end.

Under the moonlight, the sea breeze blows.

He looked into the depths of the dark night with deep meaning.

His voice sounded as a voiceover: "I forgot when it started, I felt that I was no longer a child. Perhaps my past never had the concept that I was a child."

In the depths of memory flashbacks, Huang Feng, who played his childhood, squatted at the door of his house, listening to the sound of his parents arguing in the house.

His confused, fragile gaze overlapped with him at this moment.

He lifted his head slightly.

The moonlight brushed across the depths of his eyes.

Just that one time.

When he lowered his head back, his eyes had returned to coldness.

……The movie screening ended, and the Film Palace erupted with thunderous applause and cheers.

Although he was not here.

Five days later, the closing ceremony of the Xitu'er International Film Festival.

All the winning movies had received the recall notice.

But what everyone cared about most was whether Lu Yan He would appear.

Huang Tianlin led the "Original Father" crew to the red carpet of the closing ceremony.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

The number of viewers of the livestream at this moment even broke ten million.

However, in the crowd, there was no figure of Lu Yan He.

"Director Huang, Lu Yan He is predicted by major media to be the number one candidate for Best Actor this year. Is he not attending?"

The media asked Huang Tianlin impatiently.

Everyone was unwilling.

Can't you really see Lu Yan He?

Huang: "Yan He is in a very difficult time, everyone knows, so, no matter whether he attends or not, please respect him, tolerate him, understand him, okay?"

The aggressive and anxious look of the media people also faded.

Thinking from another perspective, if anyone else stood in Lu Yan He's position, this would be a very difficult moment.

Not long ago, Lu Yan He accepted an interview and said "embarrassing pain." Until now, everyone understood its deep meaning.

Chen Bige, who served as the presenter for the Best Actor award in the main competition unit of this Xitu'er International Film Festival.

She appeared on the stage in a dress.

Her appearance was also not notified in advance.

So, as soon as she appeared, Huang Tianlin sat up straight.

This is a signal.

The comments in the domestic livestream room scrolled frantically.

Xitu'er Film Festival specially invited Chen Bige to move this award, is that the meaning?

"Someone once told me that being an actor is a very happy thing." Chen Bige smiled. "Because, actors can experience different roles, different lives, different feelings."

"Indeed, acting is entering another person's body from oneself, feeling this person's soul, heartbeat." Chen Bige looked at the audience. "However, great actors, why are they not crushing their own heartbreak, pain, and soul, like Nuwa creating humans, to shape a role."

"The role is not necessarily the actor himself, but the role must have the actor's soul."

When Chen Bige said this, tears suddenly flashed in the corners of her eyes.

She opened the envelope.

"The winner of the Best Actor in the main competition unit of this Xitu'er International Film Festival is—"

Chen Bige pulled out the winning result.

"Are you there? Yan He."

The whole audience boiled, Huang Tianlin stood up first, taking the lead in applauding.

Applause hard.

People around stood up one after another.

Everyone was applauding.

Everyone was looking around, wanting to find that person.

This is a scene that has never appeared in the awards ceremony of the Xitu'er International Film Festival.

No one knows if that person is there.

Everyone hopes he appears at this moment.

A tear fell from the corner of Chen Bige's eye.

"No matter whether you are there or not, I hope to say one more word to you." Chen Bige suddenly spoke.

The whole audience was surprised and quieted down.

Chen Bige took a deep breath.

"When the Xitu'er Film Festival contacted me, they specially said that this is a special moment. They hope that at this time, the appearance of one person can give you some strength and courage."

"They even temporarily arranged a special plane to pick me up from China to here. Thirty minutes ago, I just got off the plane."

"All the way, I was thinking, what do I want to say to you."

"At this moment, there must be many people who want to say something to you, and I, what can I say to you?"

The whole audience was quiet, holding their breath.

"Actually, we are all actors. Throughout our lives, we are all playing a role we want to become."

"In your own life, the director is you, the screenwriter is you, and the lead actor is also you."

"Who you are, except for yourself, no one else counts."

"You are Lu Yan He."

Chen Bige put the envelope away, looked at the audience, and looked at the backstage.

She showed a helpless smile.

"Okay, it seems he really can't come."

The whole audience sighed in unison.

But just at this moment, a gasp of cold air suddenly came from a corner.

This sound was too clear.

So much so that everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

The spotlight hit.

Behind the light box, a person walked out from the side stage, facing the light.

Probably because the light was too strong, he walked two steps, suddenly raised his hand, and covered his eyes.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't see the front for the time being.

He had already heard it.

Those cheers, applause.

Those boiling, hot, surging sounds like waves.

Chen Ziyan exited the livestream interface, took two pieces of paper, and wiped away the tears.

She took the materials placed on the passenger seat, got out of the car, and walked towards the building engraved with the police badge logo in front.

Qiu Ling stood at the door and smiled at her.

Chen Ziyan also smiled slightly.

"Going in now?"

"Go in." Chen Ziyan nodded. "He did what he should do, and I should also do what I should do."

Qiu Ling nodded.

"Good."

She took Chen Ziyan in.

"Comrade police, hello, I want to report Chen Pinhe."
