The Mad/Beautiful Movie Queen Heard My Inner Voice After Losing Her Memory - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

“She’s thinking I’ll drug her, and when she wakes up, she’ll be on an operating table?”

“Thinking I’m a psychopath who kills and dismembers people?”

I actually do want to do that, Fu Wenchen thought. Drug her, confine her in a house so she can never leave again…

The more Fu Wenchen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She stared deeply at Yu Guiyao.

Yu Guiyao felt a chill from that focused gaze and quickly looked away, thinking:

Forget it, money makes the world go ’round. Even if she’s a villain, she’s my benefactor. I’ve taken the money, so I have to finish the job.

Besides, this is just a game world. Worst comes to worst, we go down together. At least she hasn’t actually killed anyone yet.

Fu Wenchen: “……”

Go down together? “At least she hasn’t killed anyone yet”?

Hearing these thoughts, she almost lost her composure, her fingers tightening into her palms. She wanted to talk about feelings, but this woman was ready for a mutual suicide pact.

What a blockhead. No matter what, she just doesn’t get it! The more she thought, the angrier she got, her eyes rimming with red.

Just then, the giant screen began playing the faces and characteristics of the wanted criminals. Yu Guiyao immediately focused her attention on speed-memorization.

It wasn’t exactly cheating; many of these fugitives were quite famous, and she already knew about 70-80% of them from before. No one else was bored enough to memorize the faces of wanted criminals for fun, which was why she had dared to make such a bold claim earlier.

The hall fell into a heavy silence for twenty minutes.

Finally, just as the livestream audience was losing patience, the officer announced: “The test begins now.”

The students looked distressed. Averaging only twelve seconds per fugitive for memorization—who could remember that?

The officer laughed: “These are famous fugitives. You are studying criminal investigation. If you don’t pay attention to this in your daily life, are you expecting a fugitive to walk past you and say, ‘Hey~ I’m a wanted criminal’?”

The livestream chat erupted in laughter. Hey~ I’m a wanted criminal~ LMAO, but he’s right. If a cop can’t recognize a fugitive, that’s a joke. Wenchen didn’t look at the screen for twenty minutes. Her eyes never left her wife. Full on dog food (couple goals) today!

…

At some point, Fu Wenchen had drifted from the forensic queue to Yu Guiyao’s side, her arm lightly brushing against Yu’s. Yu Guiyao startled and looked at her.

The officer continued: “Fine, I’ll give you a chance. You can form groups freely. Once the questions are out, each group can discuss, but you cannot look at other groups’ answers. We will finalize groups based on the results.”

Yu Guiyao was stunned. Isn’t this just encouraging cliques?

“People like you, outsiders, will be isolated. You’re an unstable factor,” Fu Wenchen whispered, leaning in. “If you dare add that policewoman’s contact info, I will…”

“I’ll never speak to you again.”

She hesitated for several seconds before squeezing out this “threat,” her eyes slightly red as she stared at Yu.

Yu Guiyao was amazed by how fast she could pivot topics. How did we get back to adding contact info?

The noise in the hall masked their voices. Yu Guiyao whispered back: “I said I can remember a hundred fugitives. Someone will want to be in my group. How could I be an outsider?”

But as soon as she finished speaking, the other students began flocking to Gu Nianzhi. “I’ve heard so much about you!” “Solving a case at sixteen, amazing!”

Yu Guiyao’s side remained empty. The only person there was Fu Wenchen, the forensic intern.

Yu Guiyao felt helpless, especially when Fu Wenchen secretly pinched her waist. She jumped and looked at her with burning ears.

Fu Wenchen looked at her dissatisfied: “Answer my question.”

What kind of timing is this?! She’s still worried about a phone number?!

Yu Guiyao glanced at the cameras and whispered: “I won’t add her, okay? I won’t.”

“That’s more like it.” Fu Wenchen brightened up. “Then I’ll ‘reluctantly’ join your group~”

Yu Guiyao: “……”

What is she even doing here? She’s a Movie Queen; she doesn’t need the exposure. Is she really here to be a forensic doctor? Crazy.

Fu Wenchen ignored her bewilderment, reached out, and firmly interlaced their fingers. “Same-group members share a dormitory. I’m here for our honeymoon.”

Yu Guiyao: “……”

Honeymoon? A honeymoon HERE?! Wait, why can she guess everything I’m thinking?! Am I that obvious?

She instinctively tried to pull her hand away in front of the cameras, but Fu Wenchen held on tight. “Why are you hiding? I’ve already made the official announcement.”

Yu Guiyao: “!!!”

Without telling me?!

She was genuinely a bit angry now. It wasn’t about the announcement itself, but the fact that Fu Wenchen was burning her own bridges. She was jumping into this fire pit with her, gambling her entire reputation and career. How could Yu not be angry?

Perhaps she hadn’t realized it yet, but her heart was already biased toward the other woman.

Hearing this thought, Fu Wenchen’s lips curled into a smile. She swayed their joined hands and said softly: “Are you angry? Then you can deal with me however you want later, okay?”

This woman… Yu Guiyao thought. Furious one second, acting spoiled the next.

She didn’t know what to do with her. Finally, she compromised. Forget it, she’s a villain with psychological issues. I won’t argue with her. Let her have her way.

Fu Wenchen: “……” A villain with psychological issues… has my image in her heart solidified into this?! She gritted her teeth and let go of Yu’s hand, looking away in a huff.

Yu Guiyao, already used to her “June weather” moods, let it slide. But a moment later, Fu Wenchen looked back with a resentful gaze and silently took her hand again.

Yu Guiyao allowed her to slide her fingers between hers, locking them together. The woman’s hand was soft. Somehow, Yu’s mood improved.

…

The livestream audio was a chaotic mess of background noise, so the viewers could only see the two of them talking—their eye contact intimate and familiar.

Are they here just to show off their love?! Hahaha I just want to know who the real Gu Ruoqin is! Wenchen looks so in love; it can’t be a substitute, right? Gu Ruoqin used to catch killers just with profiling. Whoever’s better at the job is the real one!

A fugitive’s face appeared on the screen. The officer said: “I will call names to come forward and write answers. Some might be called multiple times.”

“Yu Guiyao, Gu Ruoqin…”

The two were called first. The other students watched, ready for the drama. Gu Nianzhi walked up gracefully, while Yu Guiyao looked hesitant.

She was hesitant because of what Fu Wenchen had whispered before she went up: “If you get a perfect score, I’ll reward you properly later~”

Yu Guiyao: “……” I can already imagine the “reward.” Kisses, cuddles… She felt her ears turn red. Actually, I kind of don’t want a perfect score now.

Once at the front, she began writing. Gu Nianzhi glanced over, and Yu Guiyao instinctively blocked her view. Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists, maintaining a fake smile: “You don’t need to hide it. I know the answer.”

Yu Guiyao smiled back. A second photo appeared. The officer said: “Yu, stay up here and answer all the photos.”

Everyone thought she was bluffing. Gu Nianzhi sneered in her heart. Just a substitute riding Fu Wenchen’s coattails.

But after the testing was over and the officers reviewed the answers, the mood shifted.

“Gu Ruoqin, four correct. Yuan Feng, three…” “Of all the students, only Yu Guiyao got a perfect score, and she added complete physical descriptions for every single one…”

The hall erupted. The livestream chat exploded. Holy crap! A hundred fugitives and she didn’t miss a single one! Is there a script? How is that possible? Even Gu Ruoqin got one wrong?! WHO is the real one?!

The officer grading the papers was stunned. Some of her descriptions were things even regular police officers would miss. He announced the correct answers.

Most people had missed one specific photo—it was one of a pair of identical twins, and they had swapped the names. The reason? Gu Nianzhi had shared her “correct answer” with everyone before they went up.

Now, everyone was staring at Gu Nianzhi. Her scalp felt numb; she couldn’t even force a smile.

Fu Wenchen let out a satisfied smirk.

“Six people got four or more correct. You are the captains,” the officer said. “At least five per group. Pick one forensic intern. Starting today, you live in the dorms together.”

Yu Guiyao realized she was really going to live with Fu Wenchen. She looked at her, and their eyes met. She felt a surge of nerves.

That look she has in those gold-rimmed glasses… it keeps making me think of a crime scene. Maybe I should tie her up every night while she’s sleeping, just to be safe.

Fu Wenchen’s smile slowly froze: “……”
