Chapter 81
At this time, the news about the ‘Butterfly Killer’ had spread throughout the country, including Beijing.
When Jin Xiaozhe saw the news item, she was on set. Dazzling lights, crowds of people. She sat in a nanny car, seeking a moment of silence in the midst of the noise.
She watched the real-time news on a small television set and learnt all about the cases undertaken by the special investigation team. The on-site camera even made a sweep of the police force at the crime scene, and she vaguely made out a familiar figure, tall and grim, but she couldn’t be sure it was him.
No, it was definitely him.
She could not be mistaken about his figure.
Jin Xiaozhe sighed softly and pulled her blanket tightly around herself. She stared at the awning outside the window, seemingly lost. With a swoosh, the door opened, and her assistant handed her a cup of her daily throat-soothing tea. “Jin jie, drink this while it’s hot. Your throat must be sore after crying so much during that last scene.”
Jin Xiaozhe took the cup and swallowed a big mouthful of tea.
After a while, the director shouted for everyone to prepare to shoot. Jin Xiaozhe pulled off her blanket and stood up. She wore an enchanting qipao, and her bearing was exquisite and charming. She took a deep breath, slipped into her high heeled shoes and walked towards the camera.
He had his battlefield, she had hers.
