Chapter 785: Horror Movie
Translator: Lordbluefire
The movie theater was pitch-black.
Upon entering, Shen Ruojing found that Chu Cichen immediately grabbed her hand and whispered, “Jingjing, I suffer from night blindness, and I can’t see well in the evenings.”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
She had been taking care of Chu Cichen’s health for some time, so how come she didn’t know about his night blindness?!
This guy was becoming increasingly smooth at lying, showing no signs of embarrassment or nervousness.
Internally sighing at his deception, Shen Ruojing didn’t let go of his hand and led him to their seats. The majority of the audience were couples, and sitting just behind them was the young couple who had bought tickets right after them.
Upon seeing them, Chu Cichen’s eyes slightly darkened.
The young couple had just remarked that he wasn’t treating Jingjing well. Hmph!
He took a seat next to Shen Ruojing.
Before the movie started, during the pre-show advertisements, Shen Ruojing couldn’t help asking, “I wonder what this movie is about?”
The girl behind them also asked her husband the same question, “What’s this movie about?”
Iler husband casually replied, “How would I know? I haven’t seen the trailer; it’ll spoil the surprise.”
The girl pouted.
Chu Cichen overheard their conversation, and with a slight smile, he spoke in a voice audible to all four of them, “I guess it’s probably a touching love story.” Shen Ruojing,”?”
She turned her head to look at Chu Cichen, and the little girl sitting behind them also perked up her ears.
Chu Cichen continued, “In the story, a newlywed couple goes on their honeymoon abroad and takes a cable car ride. Suddenly, the husband falls off and disappears. When the wife reports the incident to the local police, they collude with the local mafia and deny the husband’s existence, erasing all evidence of him. The wife is left with no one to turn to.”
Chu Cichen intentionally paused here.
Before Shen Ruojing could say anything, the girl behind them couldn’t wait any longer and asked, “And then?”
Her husband also turned to listen.
Curious about the direction of the story, Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen, who then continued, “The wife realizes she has nowhere to seek help, so she takes matters into her own hands. She happens to be a retired special forces soldier and discovers that her husband was abducted by the foreign mafia because he’s the heir to a wealthy family, and other heirs in the family wanted to claim their inheritance. The husband was as good as dead in the foreign country, but the wife fights through all obstacles, takes down the mafia, and rescues her husband.”
Chu Cichen wasn’t the best storyteller, as he skipped many twists in the story, but it still allowed people to imagine intense fighting scenes in the movie.
The young couple behind them seemed to have thought of something, and the girl immediately looked at her husband, asking, “If it were you, would you risk your life to save me?”
The husband replied, “If it were me, I wouldn’t go abroad for vacation! These people are just burning money!”
Chu Cichen,”…”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
Seeing the young couple having a disagreement, Chu Cichen held back a laugh and then looked at Shen Ruojing. In a voice audible to all four of them, he said, “Jingjing, six years ago when I disappeared suddenly, were you worried?”
Shen Ruojing nodded, “Yeah, at that time, I used all my efforts to find you, but all the results showed that you didn’t exist. But I didn’t believe it. So, 1 searched for you for six years until that day when I received an email…”
Chu Cichen lowered his gaze and said in a hushed voice, “That email was sent by Song Chen.”
Shen Ruojing was slightly surprised, “What?!”
Chu Cichen continued, “Song Chen sent that email to make our lives intertwine, making it easier for him to appear.”
Shen Ruojing fell silent for a moment, then smiled, “Even if it wasn’t him who sent it, as long as you came back to the country, I would definitely be able to find you.”
Chu Cichen nodded, “Yes.”
He then smiled and said, “The movie is probably about the wife disappearing, and the husband desperately searching, which is the opposite of foreign movies.”
Shen Ruojing didn’t think much of it.
After finishing their conversation, the movie finally began. They all sat up straight and looked at the big screen.
The beginning of the movie portrayed the husband reporting to a distant police station that his wife had disappeared. However, as there was no evidence of the wife’s disappearance, the police station didn’t take the case seriously.
Just as Chu Cichen had guessed.
Chu Cichen smirked.
The couple behind them also spoke up, “Indeed, it’s an emotional and touching love story!”
But then, the scene changed. The wife was lying in bed, and the husband claimed that she was not his wife. However, all the evidence indicated that she was indeed his wife.
The story suddenly turned into a suspenseful one.
The couple behind them changed their tone, “We thought it was a love story, but it turned out to be a suspense movie?”
Chu Cichen turned his head and said to Shen Ruojing, “It must be the work of those gangsters. They were afraid the husband’s report would be successful, so they created a fake to confuse the situation. The husband is holding on, showing his loyalty to his wife.”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
The story continued, and suddenly there was a twist. It turned out the husband was a gambler who got close to the wife for her money. Now, he was in huge gambling debt and had no choice but to kill his wife!
The wife’s best friend had schemed all of this to reveal the husband’s true nature!
Everyone,…
No one expected such a turn of events. The couple behind them whispered, “It’s not a suspense movie either; it’s a horror movie!”
Chu Cichen,…
Shen Ruojing,…
The people around them began to discuss the movie.
The couple behind them also whispered to each other, “Honey, would you do that to me?”
The husband replied in a low voice, “Why would 1 do that to you? For the $2,000 you have in your bank account?”
The wife burst into laughter.
The husband continued in a hushed voice, “So, rich people aren’t really happy. Look at that couple in front of us, they look like rich people, right? The husband doesn’t even give his salary to his wife. Just now, he tried to weave a dream of love for her, but the more I look at him, the more I feel like he’s a bad person.”
Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing, who had keen ears and eyes, overheard their conversation. Chu Cichen couldn’t help but feel speechless.
He didn’t expect this situation at all!!
He immediately looked nervously at Shen Ruojing and said, “Don’t worry, I will absolutely not gamble!”
“Really?” Shen Ruojing countered with a smile, turning her head to him and then handing a photo to him, “Then what is this?”
In the photo, Chu Cichen was unmistakably seen at a casino.
Chu Cichen,”… Jingjing, listen to my explanation!”
The couple behind them whispered, “Yes, let’s hear him explain!”
Chu Cichen,”???”
