Chapter 113 Exposure
Chapter 113 Exposure
This is the most gentle scene in the whole play. There is no thrilling, no bullets, only restrained sadness, but the pain that is endured under the calm, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, even after a few years. Makes people sleepless at night.
Xiang Wan was done.
She was a little overwhelmed, she smiled in Fu Sheng's direction, not knowing what to say.She is a liar, playing the role of being deceived by all kinds of people, but she can only pretend that none of this happened, because it was her lover and motherland who deceived her, and her heart never stopped resentment until At the end of her life, she finally ushered in liberation.
This is what it feels like to be deceived.
Xiang Wan's assistant was a little worried. She walked up to him and asked Xiang Wan if he wanted some water. Xiang Wan waved her hand and went back to the dressing room.
After changing the blood-stained clothes and removing the color on her face bit by bit, the traces of Li Shuyan on her body gradually disappeared, but that feeling still existed.
Zeng Manwen in the play has done so much for Li Shuyan, but what has she done for Fu Sheng?Why should she fantasize that everything will miraculously get better when she wakes up? It's obviously her own idiotic dream.
When Xiang Wan came out of the dressing room, the set was in a mess. Some young staff members simply avoided Xiang Wan, turned their heads and pretended to chat with others, and avoided making eye contact with Xiang Wan.
Xiangwan used to be very popular. At that time, she was still a beautiful Omega with a bit of talent and no airs in people's eyes. No one was afraid of her, and no one hated her.
The director patted Xiang Wan on the shoulder. He was the person who knew the most about Xiang Wan and the Xiang family here. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Xiang Wan, who habitually waved his hand and refused.
"You feel uncomfortable. Tobacco can relieve bad emotions. You can see that Zeng Manwen likes to smoke." The director deliberately cueed a detail in the script. He originally wanted to use it as a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Night.
Xiang Wan suddenly realized that Fu Sheng played Zeng Manwen in the play and often had to smoke, but Fu Sheng had always smoked for real. She knew how to smoke in the first place.
"Can this thing really relieve your worries?" Xiang Wan asked.
"If it's possible, you'll know if you try it." The director smiled.
Xiang Wan took the cigarette, and the director lit it for her. The acrid smell instantly filled her mouth, and Xiang Wan coughed from choking.
Maybe Xiang Wan's reaction was too big. The director was taken aback and wanted to take back Xiang Wan's cigarette, but Xiang Wan avoided the director's hand and took another puff.
Who would like this taste?
But like Xiang Wan's self-abuse, he gained some kind of sustenance amidst the fireworks.
Xiang Wan couldn't help thinking, how did Fu Sheng get his first cigarette?Did she also need to use this kind of thing to numb herself at that time?
Xiang Wan looks very good. In fact, before the big drama of gender differentiation, she has been observing all noble etiquette. Managing a big family like the Xiang family requires time to stay absolutely calm. She has always been very calm about things like tobacco and alcohol. It is respectful.
Later, he met Uncle Lu, who was an alcoholic himself. On the first day he saw Xiang Wan, he handed her a large glass of beer without reason, but he didn't let Xiang Wan smoke.
Uncle Lu’s reason is that in his chaotic neighborhood, crimes associated with poverty are hidden and ubiquitous. You can’t guarantee whether your cigarettes have been mixed with anything, so don’t want anyone else’s cigarettes.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" the director asked, "I don't think you look very happy either."
"We ordinary people just think about the overwhelming wealth of your family, and we wake up laughing from our dreams, but we are not in your position, and we can't imagine the sadness inside." The director paused and said: " It's a pity for you and Fu Sheng."
Xiang Wan glanced at the director, a little surprised: "You know everything?"
The director smiled without saying a word, and pointed to his eyes.
That's right, he must be a sensitive person to be able to direct such twisted films as "The High Wall".
Xiang Wan raised the corners of her mouth in a formulaic manner, but the expression on her face had nothing to do with the smile. She only told the director, "I'm not good enough for her."
The director's eyes widened: "The Xiang family has such a good background, who else is not worthy?"
Xiang Wan took a puff of cigarette silently, looked at Tian Youyou and said, "Is the Xiang family considered a good background? It won't be soon."
Xiang Wan left the film crew. She declined the director's idea of helping her hold a celebration banquet. Before leaving, she stood at the door of Fu Sheng's dressing room for a while, but in the end she couldn't muster up the courage to open the door.Through a door panel, she said softly: "Goodbye, sister."
It took several hours to drive from the area where the studio was located to the nearest airport, and then it was almost a whole day's flight, across most of the alliance, and Xiang Wan fled to the place farthest from Fu Sheng.
She was cowardly again, as if she always chose to avoid problems that were difficult for her to solve.
Fu Sheng stayed in the crew and continued filming the rest of the scenes. Zeng Manwen caught the loopholes in Cheng Yiyun's few words, and she began to investigate her lost memories. After all, she is a top agent. Zeng Manwen knows how to avoid alarming others. Next, get the information you want.
And Cheng Yiyun also secretly helped her.
She looked for the files of her first half of her life, and all she found were exactly the same as the one in her hand, but when she tried to understand the last spy code-named "Gentleman", all the files were innocently damaged due to various mechanism coincidences and reasons , as if the mysterious "gentleman" never existed.
Zeng Manwen thought of a different idea, she sneaked into the war museum.Regarding this war between the Empire and the Alliance, most of the shady things were labeled top secret and buried deep in the safe, perhaps never waiting for the day of light.
But there are still some innocuous ones that have been put into the war museum for future generations to pay tribute to.
It was in the corner of an old photo that reflected the extravagance and corruption of the empire that Zeng Manwen found herself as the wife of an official in the empire.The banquet hall was full of feasting lights, and the background seemed to be a school's graduation prom. Next to it was a little girl who was very student-like even though she was wearing a cheongsam and high heels.The little girl was standing very close to Zeng Manwen. From a psychological analysis, this was a posture seeking protection.
The background of this photo is not the few of them. If the young Li Shuyan's eyes were not accurately captured by Zeng Manwen through the vicissitudes of the world, she would not even find herself in this photo.
She had dealt with Li Shuyan before, there was never such a paragraph in her file!
Why did she stand with Li Shuyan? At that time, Li Shuyan had already worked for the Red House. She and Li Shuyan had a close relationship. What was her mission?
Even, is she really a spy sent by the alliance?
Zeng Manwen's mind was full of questions, and she was once again surrounded by unknown fears, just like when she just woke up and found that her memory was blank.
Zeng Manwen made up her mind, she reached out to the top-secret files, she had a strong premonition that among those sealed secrets was her lost first half of her life.
During the war years, she walked on the tip of the knife incognito. After the war was over, she returned to her motherland, but found that even the motherland couldn't believe it, and she still couldn't live in the world with dignity.
The top-secret files are called top-secret because they will be dealt with internally if they are touched. During the war years, every country has secrets that cannot be seen. As the winner, it can use all kinds of means to whitewash the peace.Zeng Manwen's investigation was very difficult. Several times she thought she was going to be exposed, but with the help of a god, she was able to save herself from danger every time it came to a critical moment.
Zeng Manwen understood that it was not God's help, but man's help.
Finally, after a long time, she rummaged through the files related to the alliance's own people but couldn't find what she wanted. She began to read the remaining meeting minutes of the Red House in the Empire that the alliance had seized. The story of Li Shuyan being deceived by her and handing the knife to the alliance , finally see the light of day again.
Zeng Manwen turned around and saw someone standing in the shadow of the file room, it was Cheng Yiyun.
The person who has been secretly protecting her all this time is indeed Cheng Yiyun.
"I know that if I tell you a story again, you won't believe it, so why don't you let yourself explore." Cheng Yiyun smiled.
This is the end of the story of "The High Wall". Later, there were several anti-revolutionary campaigns within the alliance, and the former Political Trial Office was scattered and withered. Zeng Manwen once stirred up turbulent waves, but due to unspeakable reasons, it returned to calm overnight. Finally, Zeng Manwen handed over The power she fought for half her life was exchanged for the ending of living alone in her old age. Her files were cross-supplemented with records from both the empire and the alliance, and they were locked together in the depths of the top-secret safe until the secrecy of the former top-secret files more than 100 years later. The sex was lowered a little bit, many documents were gradually declassified and became part of history, and people slowly pieced together the silhouette of her life.
The crew of "The High Wall" finished filming. Fu Sheng stood under the champagne tower to take pictures, and all the cast and crew took photos with her. The supporting actors whose scenes ended early returned to the set, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Xiang Wan didn't come back.
And following the supporting actors who came back to the scene, it was the news that Xiang's family had an accident. The crew started for half a year in a corner isolated from the world. The outside world talked about the news for several days. To many of them It's still news.
The alliance officials suddenly had a lot of evidence and filed a public prosecution against the old capital Xiang's consortium. The government's audit team conducted a large-scale audit of the Xiang family's accounts for so many years, and found out a lot of unknown funds related to gangsters and even drugs.
As we all know, the Xiang family is a wealthy businessman who has been standing tall since the time of the melee between the alliance and the empire. The families that survived the troubled times must be not clean, but the helm of their family can stand accurately in every social upheaval. To the right team, 200 years after the establishment of the league, their external image has already become synonymous with heritage and inheritance.
They took the initiative to cut off their previously shady industries long before the alliance promulgated relevant laws. After the black assets were realized, they all generously funded the poor and white alliance after the war. The Xiang family also established a charitable foundation named after this surname. All invest large-scale financial support for charitable causes.
It turns out that for all the gold and jade outside, there must be ruins inside.
The supporting actors who brought the news talked with eloquence, comparing each other whose news was more up-to-date, and they all agreed that the alliance government's sudden and thunderous means of blatantly tearing face off against Xiang Jia must have had decisive evidence.
But Xiang's family members are not fools, they can hide for 200 years, how could they be easily caught by others.
"Let's see," someone sneered: "This kind of thing must be a ghost in their family. Who can get such complete evidence except our own people?"
wow-
Fu Sheng's champagne glass fell to the ground and shattered. She didn't even have time to say sorry to the people present, so she left the table in a hurry and plunged into the thick night.
