The Mad/Beautiful Movie Queen Heard My Inner Voice After Losing Her Memory - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Yu Guiyao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if someone were staring at her with a dark, heavy intensity.

But then she reconsidered—wasn’t everyone in the room staring at her? She quickly focused, released the other woman’s hand, and made a polite gesture to begin.

The lobby lights shone down on her, making her stand out remarkably. Dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers, her posture was ramrod straight, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. When she didn’t smile, she looked cold and aloof; when she did, she appeared gentle and casual. Her beautiful phoenix eyes shimmered with light, and the small mole on her nose bridge along with her slightly curved red lips made it impossible to look away.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment. Then, Wu Huan—the woman hailed as the “Police Flower”—struck with lightning speed. Her movements were fast and ruthless, aiming for Yu Guiyao’s face while simultaneously launching a kick.

But before anyone could process what was happening, Yu Guiyao countered effortlessly. She dodged the flurry of attacks and grabbed Wu Huan’s arm.

Wu Huan felt her arm go numb as her strength was instantly neutralized. She looked up in shock just as Yu Guiyao executed a grappling move, pinning her to the floor. She couldn’t resist.

Unlike a typical brawny fighter, Yu Guiyao possessed extraordinary strength combined with a mastery of leverage. She was intimately familiar with pressure points and joints; in a single breath, she could dislocate a person’s limb. If she had wanted to, the person lying there would be a corpse.

The pinned officer suddenly laughed. “I concede. Can you put my arm back?”

From start to finish, the match hadn’t lasted five minutes. The onlookers were stunned.

The livestream chat exploded: What just happened?! Looks like the ‘nepotism hire’ won. Wait, the Police Flower lost in just a few moves? Is she a plant? Ugh… I think I heard the sound of a joint popping. Are you kidding? Setting a dislocated arm on the spot?!

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone watched as Yu Guiyao helped Wu Huan up, gripped her arm, and with a measured burst of force, popped it back into place. She apologized: “I’m sorry. You probably shouldn’t use this hand too much for a few days.”

“It’s fine,” Wu Huan replied dismissively. “That’s how sparring goes. I lost fair and square.” She then added with a sudden smile, “But you’re just like you used to be—actually, you’re even better.”

Yu Guiyao looked blank, while the crowd was shocked. If they knew each other, then she probably did have training, so her victory wasn’t so mysterious after all.

Suddenly, the online narrative shifted again. What is her background? A high school grad who moves bricks shouldn’t be this strong or know a top officer. Wu Huan comes from a military family. Who exactly is this woman’s benefactor? The scar on her forehead is really familiar. Could she really be Fu Wenchen’s girlfriend? Correction: Wife. Wait, WHAT?! Check Fu Wenchen’s social media! Huge news!

It turned out that just moments ago, Fu Wenchen had posted an update. It featured a wedding photo and a casual photo with the caption: Sorry, I’ve been busy proposing these past few days. We got married today and we are very happy. Also, she is exactly the same as she was seven years ago—no, she’s become even more beautiful~

Fans: “!!!”

Livestream viewers rushed to her page. The news instantly claimed the top three trending spots: #MovieQueenMarried!# #GuRuoqinSevenYearsAgo# #SheIsTheSameAsSevenYearsAgo#

In the wedding photo, two beautiful women looked blissful. In the casual photo, they stood side-by-side in school uniforms, young and full of unrestrained smiles. It was the perfect “school uniform to wedding dress” story.

What was more shocking was that in both photos, the person beside Fu Wenchen was the same—the woman in the livestream, Yu Guiyao. She was beautiful as a teenager, and seven years later, she had matured, though a scar now marked her forehead.

Netizens exclaimed: The ‘benefactor’ is Fu Wenchen! So it’s possible they are a legitimate married couple? And is it possible she really IS Gu Ruoqin? Why else the same uniform? Why else would Wenchen marry her! The DNA test isn’t out, and the Gus haven’t explained. Anything is possible! What if she’s the substitute the Gus mentioned? Her own mother doesn’t recognize her. It has to be fake! Wenchen wouldn’t marry a substitute. She’s loved this person for years. Besides, have you ever seen a substitute who looks EXACTLY the same?!

…

While the internet argued, Fu Wenchen watched Yu Guiyao through the glass, a slight smile on her lips. She knew that even after seven years, most A City police were familiar with Gu Ruoqin’s face; they were just hesitant to act because there was already a “Gu Ruoqin” present.

But Wu Huan was different. She had been Gu Ruoqin’s close friend seven years ago, which was why she had been so eager to spar.

Thinking of this, Fu Wenchen’s teeth felt itchy with irritation. I told her not to be too intimate with others, yet she smiles so beautifully at someone else, grabs their arm, and chats away…

Her heart was sour with jealousy. But since she had gone public and they were married, the woman could never leave her again! Despite her smile, Fu Wenchen’s eyes were obsessive and dark as she stared at the woman in the hall.

Yu Guiyao felt that chill again. She figured the officer must have known the real Gu Ruoqin and mistaken her for her. She decided to play along: “I don’t remember the past. I had an accident seven years ago and lost my memory. How about we exchange contact info and chat later?”

“Sure!” Wu Huan looked delighted.

Behind the glass, Fu Wenchen clenched her jaw, her eyes flashing like fire. Yu Guiyao, if you dare add her, you’re dead!

The livestream viewers were even more stunned: The amnesia trope?! An accident seven years ago… the timeline matches! I’m waiting for the DNA. This is too much of a soap opera!

Whispers filled the hall. “She’s strong enough to beat Wu Huan.” “She looks so familiar.”

Gu Nianzhi was seething. She couldn’t understand why a mere substitute—a lookalike—was stealing the spotlight just because she could fight. She vowed to make things difficult for her.

Yu Guiyao caught her hateful gaze and smirked. She asked the officer: “How else do I need to verify my eligibility?”

The officer’s attitude had clearly changed. “If you can memorize the faces and characteristics of a hundred wanted criminals within the time limit with 80% accuracy, I’ll not only qualify you, I’ll make you a team captain.”

The room gasped. The officer continued: “Everyone, pay attention. The big screen will play the names and faces of 100 fugitives. Memorize them. After the broadcast, there will be a test. The top six will become captains!”

Yu Guiyao wasn’t surprised; it was a high-stakes way to kick off a show. But what the officer said next floored her: “You will be split into six groups. Each group will choose an intern forensic doctor. Interns, come out. I will introduce your backgrounds.”

The glass door opened. Six interns in white coats and ID badges walked out. When the sixth one appeared, Yu Guiyao’s jaw nearly hit the floor.

Fu Wenchen!!!

The woman wore gold-rimmed glasses, her long hair tied back low. Her skin was snow-white against the lab coat and white gloves. The mole under her eye made her look elegant yet cold. She spared Yu Guiyao a fleeting, indifferent glance, as if they were strangers.

Yu Guiyao: “……”

Is she just playing around? A Movie Queen… acting as a forensic doctor?

Moreover, this outfit was identical to the projection the system had shown her—the one where Fu Wenchen was killing someone. Gold-rimmed glasses and white gloves.

Yu Guiyao suddenly felt a wave of terror. She realized she didn’t know Fu Wenchen at all. Not one bit!

The livestream and the hall went wild. The platform crashed for several minutes. “Fu Wenchen. Graduate of A University, Department of Forensic Medicine. Master’s degree completed early. Internship experience: None.”

Wenchen is a genius! A forensic student AND a Movie Queen AND a Master’s grad! The brick-mover is not on her level, unless she really is Gu Ruoqin! Wenchen loves for life!

Yu Guiyao’s internal monologue was a frantic mess. A Master’s in Forensics?! Isn’t she a workaholic actress? When did she find time for this? Typical villain—protagonist halo, never sleeps, genius talent. While I was moving bricks and fishing, she was winning awards and getting a Master’s. We are not on the same level!

Then, a darker thought struck her. Wait… she’s a forensic expert. That’s why she can kill without a trace, why she can perform a hundred cuts without hitting a vital organ. This means even if I can outfight her, she could knock me out and I’d wake up on an operating table…

A chill crawled up from the soles of her feet. With a blackening value of 91, who knew when she’d snap? She looked up, meeting Fu Wenchen’s chilly, unreadable gaze.

Fu Wenchen: “……”

What the hell is this woman thinking about in that head of hers?!
