Chapter 90: Fetus

Xiao Tao was always calm, and this tone already indicated that he must have discovered an incredible phenomenon. He said, moving the scalpel to the lower abdomen of the body. When Hong Mei's uterus was opened, under the surgical light, a lemon-sized embryo appeared in front of everyone. This tiny fetus already possessed basic human body structure. The head was relatively large, occupying half of the body size. The limbs had basically formed, and looking closely, one could distinguish arms and legs, and even tiny fingers.

There was no doubt that Hong Mei was pregnant.

"Looking at the development of this embryo, Hong Mei was pregnant for about three months," Xiao Tao said, looking carefully.

"She was too thin, and no one found out about this!" Wu Shanqiu exclaimed.

"Then the question is, who is the father?" Qi Fei asked. Everyone knew that the first person to look for was Hong Mei's patron, Huang Daqiu.

When Huang Daqiu heard that he needed to extract DNA for a paternity test, he was surprisingly generous, spreading his hands and saying: "You can take it as much as you want. I also want to know whose bastard this is."

"Mr. Huang, is it too early to conclude that it's a bastard?" Qi Fei didn't agree with Huang Daqiu's disrespectful wording toward the deceased.

"Hmph, I, Huang, have been in the world for decades, don't I know if it's my own seed? I've been abroad for four months and only just returned. I haven't seen this bitch at all, how could she give birth? By intention? Hahahaha!" Huang Daqiu laughed wildly.

"Did you discover this when you were at Yun Shen Secret Realm?" Qi Fei associated it with the conflict between Huang Daqiu and Hong Mei that Wang Defa mentioned.

"I have nothing to hide. After eating that day and returning to the room, this woman wouldn't let me touch her, so I knew it was very suspicious. She even wanted to lie to me, saying she was pregnant. I asked whose bastard it was, and this woman was stubborn and insisted it was mine, which ruined my mood. It's just right, you find out who it is and tell me. I also want to see who is so bold as to give me a green hat."

"Whether it's your child or not, we will soon have a conclusion. Since you suspect Hong Mei betrayed you, why did you continue to help her discuss the project that night?"

"Since the words are out, I'm not afraid to tell you. The project is the project, and Hong Mei is Hong Mei. I can make one Hong Mei popular, and I can make a second one popular. She is cheap herself. Even if she doesn't die this time, she won't have a good end in the future!" Huang Daqiu said fiercely, not hiding his coldness.

"Mr. Huang, don't mind telling us your intended candidate, right?" Qi Fei asked.

Huang Daqiu sneered: "You go and ask which crew she joined during the time I was abroad, and you'll know."

"Brother Fei, you're so interested in binge-watching dramas, this doesn't look like you," Wu Shanqiu said, looking at Qi Fei, who was watching a drama on his computer in the office.

"I'm doing this for the case. Didn't you say Hong Mei got popular by acting in this *Divine Strategy of the Tang Dynasty*? I'm watching this drama. Honestly, looking at the whole TV series, isn't Hong Mei the one with the worst acting? I actually like the second female lead, the one who plays Wu Zetian," Qi Fei muttered.

"Ha! Brother Fei, I knew you liked this type of queen," Wu Shanqiu said with hidden meaning.

"Shut up. Isn't Hong Mei's role just a wooden person? What's there to watch?"

"There's no way around it, the character setting is good. This thing, sometimes it's metaphysics, called that, small red depends on support, big red depends on life," Wu Shanqiu commented. "It's said that Hong Mei has an expert pointing her behind the scenes."

Qi Fei looked at the time and said: "We should set off for Lian Hu soon."

Lian Hu was originally an unknown small village. In recent years, because of the construction of a film and television base, this whole area has become prosperous, and you can see crews filming at any time.

What was unexpected was that the crew Hong Mei was in didn't stop work because of her death, but was filming intensely.

Soon they found the director Wang Wu on the set. Unlike the glamorous actors, Wang Wu, a middle-aged man in his early forties, was wrapped in a big cotton coat, wearing a wool hat, and his beard was messy, looking very tired.

"Your female lead is gone, it seems it didn't delay your progress," Qi Fei said to Wang Wu, looking at the busy set.

"Sigh, ever since Hong Mei had an accident, I haven't closed my eyes for three days. There's no way, I can only change the script while biting the bullet and continuing to shoot. So many people are waiting to eat, no matter how difficult it is, I have to grit my teeth and persist..." Wang Wu was clearly so tired that he didn't even have the mood to complain.

"The night Hong Mei wasn't there, did anyone from your crew go out?" Qi Fei asked.

"No, our crew has to ask for leave to go out. And, Hong Mei wasn't there, we still had a few scenes without the female lead to catch up on. Everyone in costumes, makeup, and props was there. That night, Lan Die's scenes were very heavy. We originally planned to wait for Hong Mei to come back, just in time to take a break. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Now the scenes are all pressed on Lan Die. If it weren't for her holding on, our drama probably wouldn't be finished."

"Lan Die?" Qi Fei paid attention as soon as he heard the name.

"Lan Die was originally our second female lead. Now the emergency script change is the female lead. The scenes are very heavy, and the lines have to be re-memorized. This girl is quite not easy," Wang Wu said sincerely.

However, Qi Fei didn't care about these.

Soon, they met Lan Die. In the current trend of "white, young, and thin," Lan Die belonged to a very atmospheric look. It could be seen that her natural bone structure was very good. The key was that when seeing this face, Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu both felt familiar.

"Oh! So you are Lan Die?" Wu Shanqiu blurted out.

Lan Die was surprised: "You know me?" This ordinary sentence, in other people's mouths, would be fine, but as a female actor for many years, her asking this question naturally seemed a bit bitter.

"To be honest, I don't remember your name, but I've seen you in many TV series. You often play the vicious female supporting role, right?" Wu Shanqiu was quick-mouthed, then immediately apologized: "Sorry, I mean the character."

Lan Die didn't mind: "Being able to let you remember the character makes me happier than remembering me."

Although Lan Die seemed to be very sensible, this still couldn't reduce her suspicion.

"I heard that the original lead of the drama that made Hong Mei famous was you?" Qi Fei asked.

Lan Die said lightly: "This matter, people often come to ask, and some people on the internet will use it for hype. I want to say, the clear are clear, I just act my play well."

"Does it not matter if Hong Mei bought black news to smear you?"

"We can't punish ourselves for other people's mistakes, right? In this line of work, how many can be the lead? Like me, often having plays on, is already very good."

"Your mentality is quite good," Qi Fei said. "Where were you on the night Hong Mei had an accident?" ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
