Shang Liu raised an eyebrow: "The Third Young Master of the Murong family? I remember that Third Young Master seemed to have had a serious illness, was sent abroad for treatment for a while. I heard he was cured later, but he never showed his face. The Murong couple usually don't bring him out for social events, so not many people know what he looks like now."
Sally was very interested in these gossip tidbits: "Didn't the rumor spread a while ago that the Third Young Master of the Murong family came out to his family and then ran away from home? Not sure how that news got out of that deep, secluded compound, but everyone's been spreading it."
Shang Liu: "Didn't you just say that Third Young Master played with President Yin when they were kids? Have you seen what that child looked like?"
"Hey, I remember I have photos at home, taken with little President Yin. I'll find them another day to share with you all. Little President Yin, being called Angel Brother, wasn't for nothing. Even at a young age, he had a little follower. If that kid hadn't gotten sick and gone abroad for treatment, given how clingy that little follower was, you probably could have grown up together."
Yin Chengjue was currently chatting with Rong Yu on WeChat. Hearing this, he let out an uninterested "Heh," acting completely unwilling to engage with Sally and Shang Liu.
Sally deliberately provoked him: "President Yin, if you don't mind, I'll really go look for them when I get back~"
Yin Chengjue finally looked up and gave her a glance: "If you have nothing better to do, why not search the entire internet for the ancient costume dramas Xiao Yu acted in when he was a child? That's great PR material, can't miss it."
Shang Liu looked like he was enjoying the show: "Rong Yu acted in ancient costume dramas before?"
Sally smiled wryly: "According to Xiao Yu, he just made a guest appearance in an ancient costume role, and it was a last-minute rescue appearance. He acted one scene and left, his name isn't even on the actor list. How are we supposed to find that?"
Yin Chengjue: "Aren't you very free?"
Sally immediately waved her hands: "Not free, not free at all. I just remembered I have a lot of work to do. I'll just…"
Shang Liu: "Huh? Wait!"
Shang Liu turned his phone around and placed it in front of Yin Chengjue: "Look, this child in this ancient costume drama, doesn't his features look somewhat similar to Rong Yu's?"
Hearing this, Yin Chengjue quickly looked over, his gaze quickly focusing on a boy wearing a golden robe.
Yin Chengjue recognized at a glance that this was a cast photo from that ancient costume drama "Decree of the Heavens," which always airs during winter and summer vacations.
Shang Liu said, "I recently signed on for an ancient costume drama, currently researching how the costumes, props, and sets should be done. Since the dynasty is the same as Decree of the Heavens', I wanted to use it for reference, so I had someone collect some cast photos from back then. When you mentioned ancient costume dramas, this was the first thing I thought of."
Sally also leaned over curiously, then quickly shook her head: "I watch this Little Crown Prince every winter and summer vacation, I know his face by heart. He looks nothing like Xiao Yu. Besides, the actor who played the Little Crown Prince was a very popular child star back then. Although he's grown up now, his features have settled, and he's... somewhat let himself go a bit, he still has a tough guy style and quite a few fans. He definitely isn't Xiao Yu."
Shang Liu said, exasperated, "Who told you to look at the Little Crown Prince? I meant look behind these people, at that child who accidentally got caught in the shot, the one wearing the big red coat."
Yin Chengjue's gaze had actually shifted from the Little Crown Prince to that spot as soon as Shang Liu pointed it out.
It was a child dressed as a girl.
But the facial features on that little face indeed showed some resemblance to Rong Yu's.
"Ah! I remember now! Isn't this the Little Crown Prince's younger sister in 'Decree of the Heavens'? A little princess who appears briefly, gets kidnapped and killed early on. The male lead, the Little Crown Prince, turns dark precisely after witnessing his sister's murder, vows revenge, and purges the court after ascending the throne." Sally suddenly recalled.
Yin Chengjue's eyes were fixed on the little girl in the big red coat. He had a vague feeling—he felt as though he had seen her before - not on television, but from very, very close by...
"No way? Vice President Shang, you really think this child could be Rong Yu? It's probably just that the features are somewhat similar, right?" Sally said.
Shang Liu was a man of action, he had already quickly taken out his phone and started playing the first episode of Decree of the Heavens.
Indeed, the little princess in the big red coat only appeared in the first episode, then got killed off. The second episode showed the unpopular Little Crown Prince male lead holding his sister's body, wailing, then digging a hole in the heavy snow to bury her bones, simultaneously planting the seed of revenge in his young heart.
The crying scene and death scene of this little princess, who only appeared in the first episode, were considered classics by many viewers and once sparked a trend to find the young child actress who played her back then.
