Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 44

Ch44 - His Body is Very Cold
Lai Chengshan had walked out of the apartment building, and then immediately got into a car accident. If this were to get onto the internet, who knew what everyone would think.

Fan Zeng was even a bit frustrated and regretted asking Lai Chengshan to come. He didn’t even have the chance to expose the other party as a liar, who would have thought that that person would be gone so soon.

“Really, it would’ve been better if I had never invited him in the first place.” As Fan Zeng spoke, he unconsciously thought about the butterfly effect. “Xiao Xu, say, if I hadn’t invited him here, would he not have died?”

Fan Zeng wasn’t a cruel person.

Whether it was discovering that Lai Chengshan was a scammer, or getting angry enough that he wanted to expose the scammer’s actions, Fan Zeng had never thought about wanting the other person to die.

It was also because of this, that his heart was somewhat unsettled, and he couldn’t help but think about this.

Lu Xu saw Fan Zeng’s expression and knew that he was feeling guilty. He snorted lightly and smiled as he said, “If it wasn’t for him selling himself as a master in the first place, Fan ge, you wouldn’t have found people to contact him. And no one could have known that he would get into an accident. If we were to go according to Lai Chengshan’s own words, life and death have fate and wealth in the heavens. If it has to be you, then you can’t run. Fame and fortune are like this, and so is death.”

Lu Xu’s words were simple, but they made sense.

“Xiao Xu, you’re right!” Fan Zeng nodded as he listened, and couldn’t help but lament to Lu Xu. “Although a kid like you is young, understanding all these philosophies is not easy. Now as for me, I’m afraid his death will impact our show and might implicate you as well…”

“Implicate what?” Ji Xiunian had just come out of the shower, his body wrapped in a bathrobe, his hair wet.

When Fan Zeng saw Ji Xiunian come out, he immediately sighed. “What else but that incident before Lai Chengshan’s death. Everything was fine, but he just had to cue Xiao Xu’s name on Weibo. In the end, the consequences immediately followed. He had just finished talking about Xiao Xu’s short life, and in the end, he got into a car accident himself. Of course, this has nothing to do with Xiao Xu, but everything that’s happened is very coincidental. What do you think the netizens will say?

Fan Zeng’s worries weren’t without reason. Just now, there were already people on the internet who were bringing up the timeline of events, using Lu Xu’s name and putting it together with Lai Chengshan to describe the situation.

Ji Xiunian looked at Lu Xu, not wanting him to feel too pressured.

Not to mention that Lu Xu was only 18 years old, and didn’t have much experience with death. For someone one had met to have suddenly passed away, many people would be unable to accept it.

However, what Ji Xiunian hadn’t expected was that Lu Xu didn’t have much of a reaction to it at all.

He just sat there quietly listening to Fan Zeng’s analysis, very calm from start to finish, as though he was listening to somebody else’s problems.

“Fan ge, I think that these aren’t problems we need to worry about.” Fan Zeng was afraid everyone would connect Lai Chengshan’s death with the show and Lu Xu, simply because Lai Chengshan had garnered so much popularity over the years. If there were the kind of people who wanted to fan the flames, they might use this as an invitation to talk about the incident.

But Lu Xu didn’t think so.

There might still be a little splash if it were Lai Chengshan or about tearing down the production team. But the person was already gone, and he hadn’t been a celebrity or an artist, so the attention on him hadn’t even been that high.
