The car stopped slowly. Xiu Yu said goodbye to Candice and walked into a villa.

"Grandpa, Grandpa?" She put down the car keys and looked around.

"Little Munchkin, I'm here." An old man walked down the stairs with a gold-rimmed nanmu walking stick.

Xiu Yu smiled and went up to him. "Grandpa, how have you been?"

"I'm fine, Little Munchkin." Xiu Jue touched Xiu Yu's head kindly. "How about you?

Candice answered my calls today. What happened to you? "

"I'm fine."

Xiu Yu held his hand and let him put his fingertips on her pulse. "Feel my pulse if you don't believe me. I'm really fine."

Xiu Yu didn't want to hide it from him. Most importantly, if she didn't say anything, he would be more worried.

Xiu Jue put his hand on her pulse. After a while, he retracted his hand. "There are still some injuries that haven't healed."

He found a porcelain bottle from the room behind him. "Don't be reckless in the future. Even if you want to save someone, you have to protect yourself."

Xiu Yu accepted the porcelain bottle and pulled Xiu Jue's hand, acting coquettishly. "Grandpa, you know that sometimes, saving a life is urgent. I can't leave you to die just because I'm afraid of getting hurt."

Xiu Jue knew that he couldn't persuade her. He shook his head helplessly and set up the chessboard. "Come, play chess with Grandpa."

Play chess with Grandpa?

Recalling the experience of playing chess with Xiu Jue in the past, Xiu Yu refused in her heart.

However, she still sat down opposite Xiu Jue.

As they played chess, Xiu Jue talked to Xiu Yu. "What are your plans for your career?"

"What plans?"

Xiu Yu thought for a while. "I've already won the Best Actress Trophy at the Cannes Film Festival. I want to win the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Oscars."

"Good, it's good that you have a goal."

Xiu Jue picked up a chess piece and said, "The entertainment industry is very dark. If anyone dares to do anything to you, feel free to beat them up. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."

It was a light sentence, but one could hear the seriousness in it.

"Okay." Xiu Yu smiled.

She had never experienced the feeling of being protected in her previous life. She loved this feeling very much.

It rained for more than ten minutes.

Xiu Yu put down her chess piece. "Grandpa, you've lost."

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count!" Xiu Jue stopped Xiu Yu's hand from taking the chess piece. "I'm not going to play here." With that, he took back the chess piece and made a new move.

The corners of Xiu Yu's mouth twitched. "Grandpa, you have no regrets." Grandpa's chess skills were … touching.

Xiu Jue fumed like a child. "Are you the grandpa or am I the grandpa?"

"You're the grandpa." Xiu Yu was helpless, but there was a gentle look on her face. "But you're going to lose again."

She picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard with a click.

Xiu Jue took a closer look. He had really lost. He shamelessly said, "It doesn't count, it doesn't count!

Let's start again! "

"Okay, okay, okay. Let's start again."

Halfway through the new game, Xiu Jue added, "The previous game was a draw."

Xiu Yu tried to hold back her laughter. "Okay, it's a draw."

Xiu Jue was satisfied.

Later, Xiu Jue lost consecutively … Ah no, he and Xiu Yu played a few more games to a draw. Xiu Jue finally got tired of it. She turned around and turned on the TV in a fit of pique. "I'm not playing anymore. I'm losing every game!"

Xiu Yu smiled and removed the chessboard. "It's a draw."

Xiu Jue felt a little better. She thought happily to herself, "My granddaughter is so nice. She loves me so much."

"It's almost noon. What do you want to eat?" Xiu Yu opened the refrigerator and looked at the dishes, thinking about what to cook.

"Just some home-cooked dishes will do." Xiu Jue looked at the TV casually.

"Okay."

Xiu Yu took out a few boxes of vegetables from the refrigerator and got up to go to the kitchen. "Please wait for a moment. I'll cook."

"Okay."

Xiu Jue flipped through the TV channel. A news flashed by. He had already flipped through the channel when he noticed a detail in the news.

Xiu Jue hurriedly switched the TV channel back.

"According to reports, the victim was the secretary of the mayor of Gotham City. The cause of death was that she was forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes. There were no signs of a struggle at the crime scene."

Xiu Jue held the cane with one hand and counted with his fingers. After a while, he slowly put down his hand and looked worriedly at Xiu Yu, who was busy in the kitchen.

How could the mastermind be related to Tiny Tot?

S.H.E.L.D. … Maybe it should be called Hydra.

The Hydra incident was not completely solved yet. He wondered if Tiny Tot had given up on investigating Arthur's death.

Xiu Jue stood there alone and thought for a long time. It was not until Xiu Yu came back with lunch that he hid his worries and sat down at the dining table.

"Mmm." Xiu Jue picked up some food with his chopsticks and let out a sound of enjoyment. "My Yu's cooking is delicious. It's even better than the food cooked by a five-star chef."

Xiu Yu smiled and put some of Xiu Jue's favorite food in his bowl. "Eat more if it's delicious."

Xiu Jue quickly defended the food. "Okay, okay, okay!

You're not allowed to fight with me. "

Xiu Yu only took three bites of each dish. It was not because she needed to maintain her figure as an actress. She could not gain weight no matter how much she ate. It was a habit from her previous life.

"Eat more."

Xiu Jue could not stand it and put some food in her bowl. "You already have gastric problems. If you don't eat more, will I be the one in pain?"

Who didn't have gastric problems in this day and age?

This was especially true for actors. Their work and rest schedules were unstable all year round, and nine out of ten of them had stomach problems.

However, Xiu Yu would not refuse the concern of an elder. "Okay, I'll eat more."

"Yu, did you know that the male secretary of the Gotham City Mayor died in his house last night?" Grandpa Shen asked casually.

Xiu Yu nodded. "I saw the news today. What's wrong?"

Xiu Jue shook his head. "Nothing. Be careful."

Xiu Yu: "?"

Xiu Yu did not understand and wanted to ask him. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Xiu Jue glared at her. "Don't talk when you're eating!"

"…" You were the one who spoke first.

…

Xiu Yu accompanied Xiu Jue for the whole day. She had to go back to the set the next day, so she did not spend the night at Xiu Jue's house. Instead, she went back to her own house.

After taking a shower, she analyzed the characters for a while. Xiu Yu suddenly remembered that Xiu Jue had asked her to be careful.

The secretary of the Gotham City Mayor had been murdered. Why did Grandpa ask her to be careful?

Xiu Yu thought about it and felt that Grandpa Shen knew something, but it was inconvenient for him to tell her.

Although she did not know how to do fortune-telling, she still knew some basic rules.

Prying into the secrets of the heavens was against the will of the heavens. If she revealed the secrets of the heavens, the punishment could be severe.

Xiu Yu put down the notebook that contained her analysis of the characters' personalities, behaviors, and psychology. She took out her phone and opened the INS app.

[Y: B, what do you think about the murder of the Gotham City Mayor's secretary?]

Y was her online username, derived from the first letter of the Chinese character 'Yu'.

On the other hand, B was a netizen she met on INS. His profile picture was black, and he was usually a man of few words. However, no matter what question Xiu Yu asked him, he would always give a straightforward answer.

B replied very quickly. He probably started typing when he saw Xiu Yu's private message and did not give it much thought.

This gave Xiu Yu the impression that B was also concerned about this case.

[B: This would not be the first case.]

[Y: Why would you say that?]

[B: Have you seen the movie Seven Deadly Sins?]

[Y: Yes.]

That was the second movie she had made.

The Seven Deadly Sins were the seven original sins in the Catholic religion. In descending order of severity, they were: pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony.

[Y: You mean, the murderer will kill the seven people who have committed the seven sins?]

[B: The secretary was stuffed to death by rats and other animals. The word 'gluttony' was written in blood next to his body. In the Catholic religion, the corresponding punishment for the sin of gluttony is force-feeding on rats, toads, and snakes.]

[B: Seven is the bottom line. He might not have only killed seven.]

Xiu Yu was silent.

When she was acting in Seven Deadly Sins, she had purposely researched the seven sins in the Catholic religion.

The definition of the sin of gluttony in the Catholic religion was: wasting food or overindulging one's appetite, drinking too much, or hoarding too much food.

It was unknown how many people had violated the above points.

She thought for a long time and typed slowly.

[Y: If a person is killed for committing one of the seven sins, no one on this earth can survive.]

[B: I agree with you.]

After the conversation, Xiu Yu was no longer in the mood to analyze the characters. She turned off the lights and went to sleep with a heavy heart.

…

The next day, when Candice came to pick up Xiu Yu to the set, she brought a red-haired young lady with her.

"Dorothy, I can't take good care of you. You're a movie queen. You should at least have an assistant and a bodyguard, right?

I know you don't like people following you around. It makes you feel like you're being watched, so I only hired an assistant. "Candice tried to persuade her.

She looked at the red-haired young lady beside her. "This is Natalie Lashman. She's very versatile. She can take care of you, protect you, and be your bodyguard.

I've told her everything I need to. Let her take care of you for a while. If you still don't like her after a month, I won't hire an assistant for you. "

Xiu Yu stopped when she saw Natalie's red hair.

It was her …

Natasha was the woman she saw at the hospital. She was from S.H.E.L.D..

Xiu Yu had exposed her uniqueness and saved the man from S.H.E.L.D. in a high-profile manner just to attract the attention of S.H.E.L.D. and get in touch with S.H.E.L.D. so that she could investigate the relationship between her father and S.H.E.L.D..

Xiu Yu reached out her hand politely. "Hello, I'm Xiu Yu. You can call me Dorothy. Please take care of me in the future."

"Yes, Boss." Natalie smiled confidently.

Xiu Yu was the one who paid the salary, so Natalie wasn't wrong to call her that.

"Just call me Dorothy," Xiu Yu corrected her.

"Okay, Dorothy." Natalie smiled and praised her. "Your name is so beautiful."

Dorothy came from Greek and meant 'God's gift'.

Xiu Yu smiled. "Thank you."
