Chapter 301: Chapter 281: Another Turnaround_1
Faced with the sudden plot twist in the film, all the spectators in the theatre were gobsmacked!
Nobody could have expected that Ye Shen was not blind!
Thinking back to Ye Shen’s employment history, those wealthy individuals had exposed their entire selves in front of this ‘blind man’…
“Wow, this plot twist is insane!”
“I genuinely thought the protagonist was blind at first!”
“Doesn’t that mean that the woman who was dancing naked earlier was fully seen by Ye Shen, and so were the couple having an affair, oh god, and that man who was doing strange things in front of Ye Shen…”
“Who would have thought!”
“The protagonist had been faking it so calmly all this time, I’m impressed!”
“…”
Dai Rui suddenly said, “Come to think of it, if a blind man were playing the piano in my house, I probably wouldn’t be on guard either.”
“That’s the terrifying part.”
Zhang Bin shook his head, “The more I think about it, the more horrifying it is. Everyone appears decent on the outside, but people’s baser instincts are completely unguarded in front of a blind man.”
At this point, there was a voice-over.

It was the male protagonist’s voice: “Art is the meaning of life for an artist, but he must pay the price for that.”
A woman’s voice asked, “The purpose of peeping?”
The protagonist paused for a moment before explaining, “I just feel that by shutting down some of our physical systems, people can focus more on the art itself.”
The voice-over ended.
The plot then resumed.
Apparently, the male protagonist’s dream was to make money playing the piano, achieving his goal of performing in the Golden Hall of Qin Province.
He believed that pretending to be blind could earn him more money.
Ironically, the protagonist’s plan worked. People seemed to have more faith in the artistic achievements of a blind man, even more so than a sighted person.
Even Sofi, who was attracted to the protagonist because of his blindness, offered him more support, not only dating Ye Shen, but also recommending him for a job at her father’s restaurant.
The restaurant offered generous compensation.
Playing the piano there not only earned the protagonist hefty tips but also won him the admiration of some of the elites, such as Su Tai.
Although Su Tai, who was once a popular movie star, had now retired from the limelight, he was still prominent and successful.
He had married a female artist named Jiang Yan, who was much younger than him.
A classic May-December couple.
Admiring Ye Shen’s exceptional piano skills despite being blind, Su Tai invited Ye Shen to play the piano at his house on Sundays to celebrate his and his wife’s wedding anniversary.
Ye Shen accepted.
On that Sunday, as per the agreement, Ye Shen arrived at Su Tai’s home. However, the following scene left the audience gasping!
Blood!
There was blood all over the floor!
Among the blood were shards of broken glass!
And on the sofa lay a body!
The audience immediately recognized that…
It was Su Tai’s body!
“What happened!”
Dai Rui’s heart skipped a beat.
Next to him, Zhang Bin swallowed hard, “Su Tai is dead? No wonder it was Jiang Yan who opened the door, and she was reluctant to let the protagonist in…”
Faced with another plot twist in the film, the audience’s emotions were once again pulled taut!
Even Ye Shen, who had been pretending to be blind for so long and could handle various situations with ease, was frightened!
Jiang Yan began to test Ye Shen, unsure if he was truly blind…
As Ye Shen nervously responded, he suggested that he needed to use the bathroom, seemingly to relieve his tension.
As a result, when Jiang Yan led Ye Shen into the bathroom, an even more shocking scene ensued!
There was a man in the bathroom!
The man held a gun in his hand, pointing it right at Ye Shen.
“That man is her lover!”
This was the third plot twist in the movie, and the audience’s hearts were in their throats!
Ye Shen bit his lip hard, pretending to be calm as he finished using the bathroom, flushed, and returned to the living room…
The film went into a flashback.
As it turned out, the gorgeous young woman, Jiang Yan, was having an affair with the man in the bathroom. The reason for the murder was that Su Tai had fooled his wife into thinking he was away on a business trip that day. But unexpectedly, he returned with wine and flowers, hoping to surprise his wife. This included Ye Shen arriving to play the piano, which was part of the surprise.
But then…
The surprise turned into a scare…
He was shot dead by the man with whom his wife was having an affair…
“I’m blind, I’m blind, I can’t see.”
Ye Shen kept reminding himself of this as he played the piano in a room splattered with fresh blood. Su Tai, who had been dead on the sofa for God knows how long, was sitting facing Ye Shen, while the lady of the house was pointing a gun at his head from behind.
The scene was incredibly eerie!
Within this incredibly eerie and horrific scene, a new piano piece began to play.
To everyone’s surprise, it was Mariage d’Amour!
The music seemed to carry an overwhelming sadness, as if mourning the death of Su Tai and mocking the current predicament. It stirred the hearts of the audience along with the rhythm of the piece.
The audience in the cinema seemed completely immersed in the music at this moment.
Contrasting with the beautiful piece was the brutal scene of Jiang Yan and her lover starting to move Su Tai’s body, hiding it in a suitcase, then cleaning up the blood…
All of this was achieved under the watchful ‘eyes’ of the male character.
It was not until the lover dragging the suitcase containing the corpse away did Dai Rui come to his senses.
His eyes widened abruptly, “That piece just now…”
Zhang Bin, who seemed to realize something, also started panting rapidly.
Because the plot was so intense and thrilling at this point, they almost neglected the music.
But neglect doesn’t mean the ears are closed!
Although the piano piece had already ended by the time they fully regained their senses, the feelings brought about by the piece had built up, resulting in a great shock based on the plot!
“No wonder it’s Xian Yu…”
Zhang Bin muttered, not knowing whether he was praising the ingenious design of the plot or admiring how beautiful the piece was.
“…”
Dai Rui was speechless, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his heart filled with an indescribable feeling, which even caused him to break out in goosebumps.
Similar feelings also appeared among the other audience members in the cinema.
“Did you hear that…”
“That piece just now…”
“More brilliant than the first one…”
“I want to listen to it again!”
“Beautiful, sad, tender, and brutal…”
“Is this… Xian Yu’s response?”
“Let’s focus on the movie first…”
Someone took a deep breath.
The piece was no longer the main point, as the plot was so intense it made people’s hair stand on end, and they were highly anticipating what would happen next!
“It’s none of my business…”
“I didn’t see anything…”
“I feel very sorry for Mr. Su Tai…”
“He has helped me a lot, but I…”
Ye Shen was scared, shivering with cold, his body shaking. After he left, he sat on the street for a long, long time, then chose to take a cab home, all the while comforting himself:
“Don’t draw fire on yourself…”
“They will kill me…”
The male character’s agony at this moment was palpable.
At this moment, the audience felt somewhat disappointed, thinking that the male character lacked courage.
However.
The scene changed.
The male protagonist appeared at the police station!
God!
What a sudden transition!
The male character decided to call the police in the end!
At this moment, the audience started to like the male character, as he at least retained the essence of being a human being.
Isn’t that right?
However, this movie is destined to keep audiences guessing, because once they arrived at the police station, a terrifying scene unfolded!
As it turned out…
The captain of the police station was the same man who the male character had encountered at Su Tai’s house, the lover!!!
“You’re here to report a crime?”
The murderer, dressed in his police uniform, was glaring at Ye Shen.
The hearts of the audience rose to their throats once again!
Oh my god!
This movie has too many twists and turns!
Each twist and turn causes one’s heart to race!
