1824 Old Liang Family Residence, Change In Lu Wenjing
In the end, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu decided to sound out Lu Wenjing. For one thing, they were more familiar with her, and for another, they were more at ease with her character.

Moreover, if possible, Lu Ningwen wanted to exchange clues. He wanted to know if everyone had gotten the same clues or something different, and he wanted to know what they really meant.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as they had expected. After opening the door, Lu Wenjing was very vigilant against the two of them and didn’t invite them inside. She didn’t act as close to them as before, and was a little nervous. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were both smart people. Seeing the wariness in Lu Wenjing’s eyes, they had a vague guess that the clue she had received probably wasn’t much different from theirs. To confirm their guess, Lu Ningwen got straight to the point. “Wenjing, can we exchange clues? Maybe we can get more information?”

Lu Wenjing refused without hesitation. “Sorry, I don’t want to. Besides, I didn’t get a clue. Let’s talk tomorrow.”

With that, Lu Wenjing was about to close the door, but Lu Ningwen quickly blocked her. Lu Wenjing’s face changed drastically and her pupils contracted as she shouted, “What are you doing? I’ll scream for help!”

Seeing how agitated Lu Wenjing was, Lu Ningwen hurriedly explained, “Wait, Wenjing, we just want to exchange clues with you. If possible, we can form an alliance!”

Lu Ningwen thought that the other party would hesitate when he brought up an alliance, but who would have thought that she would refuse without hesitation again. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Fang Yu was furious at Lu Wenjing’s attitude, but thinking about the clue, it was understandable that she would be wary of the two of them. Fang Yu was afraid that if Lu Wenjing really called for help, people who didn’t know better would think that the two of them were evil people. Fang Yu could only grab Lu Ningwen and hurriedly say to Lu Wenjing, “Okay, Wenjing, it’s fine if you don’t want to form an alliance with us. We’ll go back and we won’t disturb you anymore!”

Lu Wenjing was originally very vigilant and stared fixedly at the two of them. Seeing that they were about to leave, her face softened a little. At that moment, Lu Ningwen suddenly said, “Did you vote for Brother Qi just now?”

Lu Wenjing was caught off guard by the question, and panic flashed in her eyes. Lu Ningwen caught her red-handed. He hadn’t been sure before; he had guessed that it was Du Zhong, but while Du Zhong was a petty person, he was very pragmatic and cowardly. With Celestial Master Chi around, Du Zhong might not dare vote for Brother Qi.

Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu wouldn’t have voted for Brother Qi, and Celestial Master Chi wouldn’t have let her cousin die.

Then, the only ones who could have voted for Brother Qi were Lu Wenjing and Film Empress Song.

Lu Ningwen had only been guessing before. After all, in his heart, Lu Wenjing wouldn’t do such a thing, and Film Empress Song also had a good reputation.

Seeing the panic in Lu Wenjing’s eyes, however, Lu Ningwen was certain that one of the people who had voted for Brother Qi was Lu Wenjing.

Lu Ningwen still couldn’t believe that Lu Wenjing, who had always had a good personality, had secretly stabbed Brother Qi in the back. “It really was you? Brother Qi didn’t offend you in any way, right?”
Fang Yu, who was standing on the side, was also stupefied.

Lu Wenjing was very flustered at first when the truth was exposed, but she quickly calmed down and said coldly to Lu Ningwen, “If I hadn’t voted for that Qi person, I might have been the one to die tonight. The two of you probably don’t know, but that Du person was planning to sacrifice me tonight. I was lucky. If it isn’t that Qi person who dies tonight, it would have been me. Of course I would rather it was someone else other than me.”

At this point, Lu Wenjing’s initially calm and obedient character changed. There was a hint of hostility and mania in her eyes, and her face was flushed red with agitation. Her fingers dug into her flesh tightly, but she didn’t feel anything at all. When she mentioned that Qi Hao was going to die tonight, not only was she excited, she also gloated a little. She repeated hoarsely, “He was unlucky. He was unlucky. It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault. He’s going to die tonight. I’m fine, I’m fine, he’s going to die. That’s great, that’s great!”

Lu Wenjing’s somewhat psychotic expression and attitude scared Lu Wenjing and Fang Yu. The two didn’t dare provoke her anymore, and hurriedly excused themselves.

Fang Yu couldn’t believe the change in Lu Wenjing. After all, he had interacted with her before. Lu Wenjing really was a person with a particularly good character. After she became famous, she didn’t put on airs. Her reputation in the production team was especially good, and she had always been considerate of others. She bought things for them from time to time and treated everyone equally. He even started to develop some feelings for her.

But before it could turn into something more, they went on this variety show, and Lu Wenjing changed into someone so selfish.

Fang Yu now believed that people really could change, especially in the face of death. That was true. Who wanted to die?

Thinking about it carefully, if he were Lu Wenjing, he might have made the same choice!

Fang Yu sighed, but Lu Ningwen shook his head firmly. “You’re not that kind of person.”

Fang Yu was silent.

Lu Ningwen continued, “The other person who voted for Brother Qi is most likely Film Empress Song. I really didn’t expect it, really didn’t expect it!”

Lu Ningwen wasn’t surprised that Film Empress Song had voted for Brother Qi. He was more curious about why she wanted Brother Qi dead. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have roped in Lu Wenjing, and Lu Wenjing wouldn’t have found out that Du Zhong had been about to sacrifice her.

Most importantly, it was Film Empress Song’s idea to get Lu Wenjing to vote for Brother Qi.

What was her motive?

How had Brother Qi offended her to make her hate him so much?

At the thought that what happened to Brother Qi was all Film Empress Song’s doing, Lu Ningwen sucked in a cold breath.

He was no longer afraid of Du Zhong, that rascal; he was now very afraid of this two-faced Film Empress Song. As expected of a film empress who had been in the industry for decades; her thoughts were terrifyingly deep.

Lu Wenjing probably didn’t want to form an alliance with the two of them partly because she was afraid of him and Fang Yu, and partly because she already had a candidate in mind, which was probably Film Empress Song.

But Lu Ningwen felt that Lu Wenjing’s intestines might turn green with regret in the future. The person he had been most afraid of before was the despicable Du Zhong, but now, he felt that Film Empress Song was even more terrifying. Not only was she scheming, she was also vicious and ruthless!

Fang Yu also sucked in a cold breath of air when he learned the truth. Thinking of their friendship, Fang Yu couldn’t bear to see something happen to Brother Qi. He couldn’t help but ask, “Ningwen, do you think we should tell Celestial Master Chi the truth right away?”
