1825 Old Liang Family Residence, Lu Wenjing In Trouble (1)
In the end, the two decided not to meet Celestial Master Chi face-to-face. Instead, they left a piece of paper under the door of Brother Qi and Celestial Master Chi’s room.
After all, if they really did meet, what if Celestial Master Chi asked about their clues, and they didn’t know how to answer? They would definitely feel uneasy if they told her their clues outright, but they couldn’t not let them know about Lu Wenjing, so they pondered and hit on a way which didn’t involve a face-to-face meeting.
Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu didn’t know, but after they left, Lu Wenjing quickly calmed down and went to find her ally, Film Empress Song.
After seeing the clue to tomorrow’s game, Lu Wenjing felt very uneasy. Her right eyelid kept twitching and she was flustered, especially when she was alone in her room. Lu Wenjing felt that the room was a little eerie and cold, and she felt very insecure.
No, she had to find Film Empress Song right away and form an alliance with her; then, the two of them could leave this d*mn place together.
She would definitely leave this place alive.
As long as she could leave this place, she was willing to pay any price.
Lu Wenjing quickly went to Song Yanru’s door and knocked several times. She originally thought that Song Yanru would think the same as her and would definitely ally with her. Unfortunately, the door never opened. Could it be that Film Empress Song had decided to ally with the Du person?
Lu Wenjing’s face turned pale. For a moment, she thought about looking for Du Zhong, but she was afraid that he would target her.
No. Lu Wenjing bit her lip. If Film Empress Song was smart enough, she should choose someone with a better character.
Lu Wenjing knocked on the door for a while longer. At that moment, a very familiar female voice rang out behind her. “Wenjing, are you looking for me? Do you want to come in?”
Lu Wenjing turned around and saw Film Empress Song. She was very happy, but also afraid that the other party might have already formed an alliance with that despicable Du Zhong. She couldn’t help but probe, “Sister Song, where… did you go just now?”
“I didn’t go anywhere. I just went for a walk since I was bored.” Song Yanru looked at Lu Wenjing warmly.
Lu Wenjing didn’t think much of Song Yanru’s words, and probed if she had met Du Zhong. Song Yanru said she hadn’t met Du Zhong at all, and she even pulled Lu Wenjing into the room to discuss an alliance; Lu Wenjing was overjoyed.
It wasn’t until Lu Wenjing followed her into the room that she saw that Sister Song’s right hand was behind her back, as if she was hiding something.
Seeing her curiosity, Song Yanru’s smile widened. After locking the door, she revealed what she was holding: It was a sharp, slightly rusty ax.
For some reason, when she saw the ax in Song Yanru’s hand, Lu Wenjing felt a chill run down her spine. She staggered back a few steps, her face and lips a bit pale. Lu Wenjing stuttered incoherently, “Sister… Sister Song, what… are you doing with the ax?”
Seeing Lu Wenjing’s pale face, Song Yanru consoled her unhurriedly. “Wenjing, why are you nervous? Aren’t we on the same side? Something in my bathroom is stuffed up, so I’m going to use this ax to knock it back into place.”
After saying that, Song Yanru immediately invited Lu Wenjing to sit on the couch as she took the ax to the bathroom. Only then did Lu Wenjing’s face soften a little. Who knew if it was because of the fright just now, but her fingers trembled non-stop and her right eyelid twitched even more.
For one moment, she felt very insecure, and she instinctively wanted to flee Song Yanru’s room. When it came to an alliance, however, the only person she trusted was Film Empress Song. The latter had saved her life before this; how could she kill her now? Besides, the clue said that two people could leave alive, not just one.
As long as they formed an alliance, there was no need for Sister Song to lose a capable helper.
Thinking this, Lu Wenjing calmed down and her complexion improved a lot. When Song Yanru came out of the bathroom and sat opposite her on the couch, Lu Wenjing was relieved by her enthusiastic attitude. She said sincerely, “Sister Song, did you get the same clue as I did? How about we form an alliance?”
After all, Song Yanru had been in the industry for decades. Sure enough, she immediately coaxed Lu Wenjing into telling her what her clue was. Afraid that Song Yanru wouldn’t believe her, Lu Wenjing even handed her the slip of paper for a look.
After reading the clue, the smile on Song Yanru’s face deepened.
“Sister Song, where is your clue? Can I take a look too?” Lu Wenjing asked.
“Okay.” Song Yanru agreed brightly. Lu Wenjing also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and looked very happy. Unfortunately, Song Yanru couldn’t find the clue even after searching herself all over. Song Yanru looked ‘anxious.’ “How is that possible? I clearly had it on me. Did I lose it when I went out for a walk?”
Lu Wenjing’s face changed, and Song Yanru continued, “Fortunately, I have the same clue as you, Wenjing.”
In the end, Lu Wenjing believed Song Yanru. “Forget it, Sister Song, no need to look for it; it’s fine as long as we have mine.”
“It’s good that you’re around, Wenjing. What would I do without you?” Song Yanru said gratefully. Lu Wenjing became more and more convinced that Song Yanru had really lost her clue.
“By the way, Wenjing, since we’ve formed an alliance, why don’t you stay here with me tonight? Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu are also staying in the same room. Everyone has company. If something really happens, we can help each other out. How about it?” Song Yanru suggested kindly.
Lu Wenjing thought about it and agreed. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble Sister Song tonight! Why don’t I go and get my things?”
“No need, just use mine. Do you want to wash your hair and shower tonight? Why don’t we wash each other’s hair?” Song Yanru suggested!
“Okay!” Lu Wenjing agreed without thinking.
At that moment, she was immersed in thoughts of cozying up to Film Empress Song. She thought that as long as she cooperated well with Film Empress Song, the two of them would definitely be able to leave this godforsaken place. Moreover, given her life-and-death relationship with Film Empress Song, she wouldn’t have to worry about not having connections or resources in the future. Film Empress Song would definitely take the initiative to help her in the future. Thinking this, Lu Wenjing was overjoyed and very glad that she had gotten close to her.
She was overjoyed, but didn’t see Song Yanru’s cold, fake and strange smile when the latter looked at her. When Lu Wenjing entered the bathroom, Song Yanru’s smile became even stranger and more sinister.
