Even After My Death
Chapter 288 - 205 Dahuang’s Surprise

Chapter 288: Chapter 205 Dahuang’s Surprise

Jiang Ning, whose social circle was particularly simple, was yet again shocked by the lengthy list displayed by the System.

Of course, what made her even more angry was that, on the list, over half were underage.

Chen Jia appeared to be decent, but she didn’t expect him to lead such a chaotic private life behind the scenes, knowingly breaking the law.

Jiang Ning frowned and glanced towards the stage, her gaze uncontrollably revealing a trace of disgust.

While she was reviewing the task, the microphone somehow ended up in Director Chen’s hands.

The movie Director Chen shot this time was a crime mystery film. Some audience members couldn’t help but praise Hao Manman’s exquisite acting, and Director Chen laughed, saying, "The scene where the body is buried wasn’t originally choreographed like that. It was after Manman shot it once and felt something was off that she proposed to shoot it a second time... Hahaha, you know, she really is an actress with both spirit and talent. The second time we shot it, even I and the producer in front of the camera were startled, we held our breath, afraid she’d come over and decide to ’bury’ us."

The audience onsite erupted into laughter and chatter once more.

But Jiang Ning suddenly thought that this seemed like a good opportunity. She gave Qi Xingzhou a pat, signaling that it was time for him to get to work.

Qi Xingzhou nodded seriously.

In an instant, unnoticed by everyone, a mature and steady Dahuang emerged from a corner of the plaza.

It easily made its way through the crowd, even stepping onto the stage step by step, with something in its mouth.

At first, no one noticed Dahuang until it appeared on the stage; then, everyone turned their attention to it.

An audience member who had seen the sneak preview couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Goodness, what’s this Dahuang doing here? There’s also a Dahuang in the film! How coincidental, was it arranged by the directing team?"

"Is this the stray dog in the movie that led the police to the criminal? It doesn’t quite look the same..."

Director Chen and the other actors on stage were also taken aback.

Director Chen had originally, like the audience members below, thought this was arranged by the production team, until he saw his colleagues’ puzzled expressions and realized it wasn’t.

Director Chen, holding the microphone, was just about to make a joke to lighten the mood regarding Dahuang’s arrival but saw that Dahuang, as though on a mission, ignored everyone else, tails down, and approached Hao Manman with a wagging head.

The female supporting actress standing by laughed, "Wow, is this a surprise arranged by the production team?"

Director Chen also looked at the staff below the stage, and after receiving head shakes of denial from everyone, laughed and said, "This wasn’t arranged by our staff. After Dahuang finished shooting, its owner took it home. We actually wanted to bring it along for the promotional tour, but it didn’t want to leave its warm bed with its puppies and wife."

Chen Jia, standing next to Hao Manman, interjected: "Wow wow wow, this must be a beautiful fate! We had Dahuang accompanying us in the movie, and now we have another Dahuang joining us for the commercial performance. Let’s keep it and take a group photo later, and give it a big chicken leg as an appearance fee."

Chen Jia’s words immediately won unanimous approval and also directly won the favor of the fans below the stage.

In just a few minutes of its appearance, Dahuang had become something of a mascot.

"Sister Manman, it looks like it’s got something in its mouth; it couldn’t have brought it especially for you, could it?!" A supporting actor standing at the edge spoke up keenly.

And indeed, his comment caused the other people present to involuntarily turn their attention to Dahuang’s mouth, noticing it really did have something in it!

The curiosity of everyone present was hooked in an instant.

Hao Manman was also surprised.

This dog had come straight up to her upon arriving, but she was just laughing along with everyone and hadn’t taken a closer look at it.

Now, hearing the supporting actor say so, she seemed to see something in the other’s mouth, too.

It was the dingy fur that gave Hao Manman some internal repulsion.

Director Chen wouldn’t let go of any opportunity to promote his movie, and he mysteriously told everyone, "Let me share a little secret with you all. Don’t think that it was just Dahuang leading the police to the body in the movie’s grand finale, resulting in Jiang Ning’s character being caught. In fact, when we weren’t filming, Dahuang loved to follow Jiang Ning the most. During that last arrest scene, Dahuang even cried. The dog trainer had to call out three times before it obediently finished shooting."

"Wow!!!!"

Bursts of noise erupted from the audience, their eyes sparkling as they stared at Dahuang on the stage, incredibly curious about what it held in its mouth.

The media were also hurriedly focusing their cameras on Hao Manman and the large dog.

Whether the dog was part of a pre-arranged plan by the director’s team or not, its appearance was certainly unexpected.

If what it held in its mouth was indeed a gift, the headline "Stray Dog Gives Gift to Hao Manman" would definitely be an eye-catcher!

It was just unknown what it had in its mouth.

The media one after another aimed their cameras at this scene.

Hao Manman wasn’t foolish, she knew this was a traffic powerhouse that had fallen from the sky.

Despite the fact that she really despised the scrawny stray mutt, she didn’t let it show on her face.

Hao Manman looked down slightly at the dog, which only reached the height of her knees, and spoke gently, "Dahuang, Dahuang, is what you have in your mouth for me?"

Dahuang’s hanging tail wagged lightly, as if responding to Hao Manman’s words.

Director Chen, seeing this scene unfold, felt as if he was looking at the evening’s trending searches, and his gaze became even fiercer by three degrees.

Hao Manman hesitated for a moment.

She was wearing a low-cut dress today, which wasn’t suitable for bending over.

Hao Manman squatted down sideways and extended her hand to the stray Dahuang in front of her.

Dahuang, who had been standing quietly in front of her since coming on stage, seemed to be waiting for this moment. Its ragged head moved slowly forward, and with an open mouth, the object it had been holding fell into Hao Manman’s hand.

The people standing on either side of her were curious, craning their necks, "What is it? What is it?"

As the object landed in Hao Manman’s hand, the first thing she felt was a damp sensation.

Thinking it might be the dog’s saliva, Hao Manman’s face almost turned green, and she almost couldn’t control her expression.

But when Dahuang moved its head away from her hand, and she looked down to see the object in her palm, Hao Manman’s face showed terror, her expression as if she had just seen a ghost.

"Ah!!!!"

She screamed in horror.

She flung the object from her hand and at the same time, her whole body heavily fell to the ground, looking extremely disgraced.

Dahuang, which had been quiet and docile since its arrival, backed up a few steps when it saw the object it had given thrown away. It crouched low and started barking at Hao Manman.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Woof, woof, woof!"
