Huayu: Character templates start with Murong Fu

Chapter 43 Antiques: Tiger Statue

The next day.

Although Liu Chun had said the day before yesterday that he wouldn't be coming today, he later discussed it with the director and came back to the set under the pretext of helping the actors get into character.

During his break, he quickly found the agent. Even though the agent wasn't with his actor, it didn't affect Liu Chun much.

"Didn't you say you'd go get the money today and pay me back?" Liu Chun held out her hand without hesitation. "Where's the money?"

The agent had no intention of actually going to the bank to withdraw the money to repay Liu Chun, but unexpectedly Liu Chun still came today, and was still bothered by the matter of borrowing money, not having forgotten it at all.

"Um..." The agent pretended to search his pockets seriously, but found nothing inside. "Um... can I pay you back tomorrow? I was in a rush to leave this morning, so I didn't have time to go to the bank to withdraw money. How about I write you an IOU?"

Liu Chun suddenly grabbed his arm, startling the agent: "No way! What if you still forget tomorrow? How about this, I'll stay at your place tonight, and we'll go to the bank together to get the money tomorrow."

"Okay...okay, that's great, at least you can remind me."

The agent was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get Liu Chun to go out for a meal alone, but Liu Chun came to him on his own initiative—the agent felt that he was about to hit the jackpot and quickly agreed.

Liu Chun, however, was suspicious and didn't understand what the other party was up to. He suddenly agreed, which is something a normal person wouldn't do!

"Is he planning to teach me a lesson again?"

Such a big thing happened yesterday, he should have heard about what "Laoda" and those people did, it's impossible that he had no reaction at all, unless he really made some preparations, which is why he didn't get angry at Liu Chun because of what happened last night.

"If this person really came into contact with the 'antiques' and was unharmed, then he should already know that I knew he was the one who contacted them. It's amazing he didn't say anything just now!"

At noon, Liu Chun bid farewell to the two directors and went home to prepare. As soon as evening arrived, she immediately went to the agent's house.

Liu Chun also informed Pang Wenke and the others about this matter, saying that if any irreversible danger occurred, they would be needed to help.

"Brother Liu, I think this is still too dangerous, especially since you're going alone. What if something happens along the way? How am I supposed to explain this to the organization?" Pang Wenke felt that he had acted impulsively this time, and he hadn't expected things to happen so quickly. Only one night had passed before Liu Chun was about to infiltrate the enemy.

"Don't you have your people watching outside all the time? I'll be fine."

Liu Chun explained, "Only by doing this can we find out where Si Huajin is hiding and uncover more things behind it. After all, this agent is very likely related to the 'Ancient Evil Society,' and they are in cahoots with Si Huajin and the others."

Should we just follow the clues and find the source?

Seeing that Liu Chun was determined and that once he made up his mind, he would not change it, Pang Wenke could only feel extremely worried for him.

After thinking for a moment, he took the opportunity to change the subject, bringing out the information that had been confirmed within the organization, and then explained: "The organization has confirmed that the agent is very likely to be connected with what we call the 'Ancient Evil Society,' and what was in that empty box was—an antique: a tiger statue!"

"Our staff has consulted various classical books, but so far we haven't found out what this thing does. It's about the size of our outstretched palm, and we're still investigating for more specific information."

Tiger statue?

Isn't this something like an ancient "military tally"? But it's only the size of a palm, so it doesn't look like one.

However, the only thing that can be confirmed now is that this thing is not simple. It was just that in ancient times it was probably just a decorative item, and ancient "military tally" usually did not exist in this form.

"Okay." Liu Chun stood up, glanced at his watch, and said to the other three, "Then let's end this discussion here. I need to go to the agent's house soon to see what's going on. I think he'll tell us the details of the incident."

"Then you should be careful."

"Don't worry, my current profession is acting."

Liu Chun grabbed her travel backpack and quickly went out.

"Wei Xiong, tell everyone to keep a close eye on the agent's movements and stay informed to ensure Brother Liu's safety."

"I've already explained it to them."

……

"Didn't we agree to hurry to my house? You're late." The agent, wearing sunglasses, rolled down the car window, exuding a weary air of someone who had been waiting for a long time, and looked at Liu Chun with a grin.

Liu Chun tossed his backpack into the back seat, opened the door, and got in.

"If you really didn't want to wait, you should have left as soon as the time was up, right?"

As the car started, the agent laughed and said, "I don't want to be someone who owes money and doesn't pay it back. Don't worry, I'll pay you back tomorrow. The banks are already closed."

"It was supposed to be tomorrow anyway."

The car sped along the road for a few minutes, but when Liu Chun finally started paying attention to what was ahead, her brows furrowed, and she hurriedly asked, "We're not going your way home right now, are we? Where are you taking me first?"

The agent, acting as the driver, glanced at Liu Chun through the rearview mirror: "Don't worry, I'm not a human trafficker. We're just going to have a meal first, and then come to my house. To show my remorse for owing you money for so long, you wouldn't refuse to give me that favor, would you?"

"That's not possible."

The agent snorted coldly: "I almost forgot to tell you, one of your friends is already waiting for us at the restaurant today. You two can have a good chat then."

"good friend?"

Looking back on the original owner Liu Chun's life, apart from Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and a few others, the rest were just fair-weather friends. Moreover, the original owner either owed money or favors, and had no idea what this friend wanted from him.

"Looks like I'll have to deal with the troubles left behind by the original owner again. If only I had drunk less, I wouldn't be in this mess. What trouble could there be when I'm just filming?"

Liu Chun rested her hands on the back seat, looking as if she couldn't wait to meet her good friend, leaving her manager completely baffled.

He already knew what kind of person Liu Chun was, and the other party must have figured out what was going on, but he was still so natural. Was he really not afraid of these troubles?

This is a problem he incurred before, and if it's not handled properly, a small problem could easily escalate into a big one.

"Brother Liu Chun, aren't you going to ask who that person is?"

Liu Chun smiled brightly: "Who is it?"

"To be honest, I don't really know either. I just know that the other person is your friend."

"Then why are you asking?" Liu Chun glared at him impatiently. "Just focus on driving. If it's really a good friend I know, I know better than you do."

"That's true, it was my own fault for being so talkative."

The agent looked at a restaurant ahead and said, "We've arrived."
