The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 97

They were all staying in very expensive private VIP rooms, and Chi Qingzhou had to visit each one.

Du Huan couldn't carry all the things in, so he stayed in the safety passage while Chi Qingzhou went inside.

According to seniority, the first room Chi Qingzhou visited was, of course, his father, Chi Jianming's.

His biological father had it pretty bad. In addition to a muscle strain in his leg, he had also hit his head against a wall, causing a few cracks in his skull.

The strange part was that despite cracking his skull, he didn't suffer a concussion.

He clearly remembered how embarrassing the situation had been and how he had somehow ended up in a feud with two local business association members. He didn't know if that was a stroke of luck or an even worse misfortune.

When Chi Qingzhou opened the door, he found Chi Jianming sitting on the bed, reading some documents.

There was a bandage wrapped around his head, and his expression was as dark as thunder, as though he'd just read some bad news.

When he saw Chi Qingzhou with the flowers and fruit basket, he waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the greeting Chi Qingzhou was about to say.

"Alright, put those on the table. I need to ask you something."

He glanced at the things, which only cost a few hundred yuan, with a look of disdain.

"Buying this kind of useless junk from street vendors. You've already returned to the Chi family, and we don't lack the little money you're spending. Don't learn that kind of cheap behavior from your foster parents."

Chi Qingzhou just responded with an "Oh," set the fruit basket down, picked up a chair, and sat down in front of his father's bed. His hands were neatly placed on his knees, looking ready for a serious conversation.

Chi Jianming froze.

He really couldn't figure out his youngest son, who had just returned home.

He was obedient, that much was true. He hadn't shown any complaints about the family, and he had worked hard to carry out the tasks that were assigned to him. Yet, there had never been much result.

He couldn't tell if it was because he had been raised by those two fools, or if it was just his destiny, but his son seemed like he wasn't destined for success.

And sometimes, this youngest son's bluntness left him not knowing how to respond.

Chi Jianming pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to show a loving expression.

"We saw your efforts on the variety show. You did well. You've built quite a good relationship with Actor Song."

Chi Jianming and his wife didn't have time to keep up with the livestreams, and there were things they couldn't see. They didn't fully understand what had really happened during the filming.

From the replays and the change in Song Yuzhi's attitude, they guessed that their youngest son must have saved Song Yuzhi during the period when the show crew had lost contact with him.

This fully achieved the original goal they had when they got their son into the "Scenery Along the Way" program.

However, the final outcome was not what they had hoped for—

The Song family didn't feel any gratitude toward the Chi family as the master had predicted. In fact, the contract that had been showing some signs of progress was completely canceled!

Chi Jianming had no idea what went wrong.

Of course, he had seen those bizarre "living corpses" that appeared out of nowhere and was clear that the program crew had indeed encountered some sort of exorcist. But he scoffed at the repeated claimed that "Second Brother must understand the occult arts" made by Chi Qingning.

His youngest son did have some martial arts background and was naturally strong, but there was no way he could be an exorcist.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Chi Jianming's eyes when he thought about Chi Qingning.

The Chi family had secretly been supporting a genuine exorcist, someone much more capable than the half-baked Chi Shuhong. This exorcist was quite remarkable.

The exorcist had observed a few times and confirmed that Chi Qingzhou didn't have any foundation in occult arts. However, when a man named Zhu showed up, he recognized him as a ghost tamer, likely the kind that the Xuanshu Association had issued a warrant for.

According to information the master had gathered from within the industry, both the Xuanshu Association and the Bureau of Abnormalities had been involved when the incident occurred. Some young members of the Xuanshu Association had even been influenced by this Zhu person, and when they returned to the Association, they had a huge argument with their masters.

The master speculated that the person who would ultimately deal with the ghost tamer would likely be a genius exorcist from the Association—perhaps even the famous Shen Wenshu.

It seemed that the "living corpses" had physical bodies, which allowed Chi Qingzhou to come into contact with them. Otherwise, there was no way Chi Qingzhou would have been involved in such a situation.

Since Chi Qingzhou hadn't caused any problems, the real issue was probably with the adopted son.

Chi Jianming forced himself to wear a more amiable expression and asked, "Tell me honestly, during the times when the livestreams were suddenly interrupted during the filming, did Chi Qingning do something he shouldn't have done?"

Oh, so he was asking about his younger brother.

Brother Guan had said not to mention anything about his brother.

Chi Qingzhou naturally responded, "No, he's really well-behaved."

Chi Jianming studied his youngest son for a moment, then frowned. "That's impossible! If you did well, why would the Song family refuse to cooperate with Chi Enterprises?"

He meant to flatter and probe at the same time, trying to get something out of Chi Qingzhou. However, when Chi Qingzhou heard this, his spirit immediately lifted, and he looked at him with newfound attention.

Chi Qingzhou earnestly asked, "Dad, do you think it could be because you've been so unlucky recently?"

Chi Jianming: "... Huh??"

Chi Qingzhou sincerely suggested, "Maybe you should go to a temple and pray. Clear away some of that bad luck."

What kind of logic was this?!

Chi Jianming didn't understand his son's reasoning. He was so frustrated by the nonsensical response that he nearly burst with anger. He angrily shouted, "Go where?! Why don't you go yourself!"

Chi Qingzhou's eyes were filled with sincerity. "Because I'm a kind person, I don't need to go."

Chi Jianming: "..."

This youngest son must have something wrong with his brain!
