If Luo Manchai had hired someone to steal Ye Ruige’s necklace, there would likely be a transfer record. But Shen Qi couldn’t find any. She might have been very cautious and used cash for a face-to-face transaction. With so much time having passed, finding the person she hired was indeed difficult.

While Shen Qi was at his wit’s end, Ji Chenjiao came up behind him. “Search for Luo Manchai and Ye Ruige.”

Shen Qi turned his head. “Huh? Just search on regular websites? That will only bring up useless gossip.”

Ji Chenjiao: “Gossip is sometimes useful too. Search first.”

Having assigned the task, Ji Chenjiao left the office, intending to go to Changpan Japanese Restaurant. The “Killer” card was placed in Luo Manchai’s handbag there, and he wanted to test on-site how exactly it was done.

Before setting off, he called Ling Lie. “Where are you?”

Ling Lie was on a bus, the background noise very loud. “I just finished investigating the Sun Jing case and now I’m on a business trip. I’m exhausted, so I’m going to reward myself with a big meal.”

Ji Chenjiao: “Perfect, my treat.”

The window glass reflected Ling Lie’s smiling eyes. “Really? But I plan to eat Japanese food, it’s very expensive!”

Ji Chenjiao raised an eyebrow. “You’re going to Changpan?”

Ling Lie: “Wow, Captain Ji is truly a modern-day Zhuge Liang! You even calculated that!”

Ji Chenjiao: “…”

Half an hour later, the two met at the entrance of Changpan Japanese Restaurant. This restaurant was very famous among Japanese restaurants in Xiarong City and required advance reservations. However, after the media exposed that Luo Manchai dined at Changpan before her murder, plus the police coming several times to investigate and collect evidence, its business plummeted. People were somewhat superstitious about such things.

There were only a few scattered tables of guests in the shop. Ji Chenjiao asked for the private room where the production crew had their dinner. As soon as they sat down, Ling Lie began flipping through the menu, not polite at all.

Ji Chenjiao observed the surrounding environment. There was a camera at the entrance of the private room, but to protect the privacy of guests, there wasn’t one inside. The surveillance footage the police obtained previously was captured by the camera at the entrance. Only when someone entered or exited could part of the situation inside be seen.

Not far outside the door was a standing cabinet containing utensils like teacups and dishes. Waiters often took and placed things there. And that spot was not captured by the camera at the entrance of the private room.

Ling Lie ordered a deluxe sashimi boat, a beef hot pot, a grilled fish, and a pile of sushi, then handed the menu to Ji Chenjiao asking if he wanted to add anything. Ji Chenjiao wasn’t really there to eat, so he handed it directly to the waiter.

Before serving the food, the first things placed on the table were hot towels and disposable gloves. The waiter also kindly reminded them that if they liked eating sushi with their hands, they could wash their hands in the restroom, though wearing gloves was also very convenient.

Ling Lie got up to go to the restroom, but Ji Chenjiao stared at the gloves.

Ling Lie asked with a bit of disdain, “Captain Ji, aren’t you going to wash your hands?”

Ji Chenjiao came back to his senses and walked to the restroom with him.

When they returned, the sashimi boat had already been served. Ling Lie had a good appetite, eating slice after slice, but Ji Chenjiao was thinking about the gloves. The waiter brought extra gloves; if one took an extra glove beforehand and hid it on their person, they could later place the card into Luo Manchai’s handbag without leaving fingerprints.

But there seemed to be no way to verify this.

Ling Lie ate sushi for a while, then looked at his phone for a while. Once gloves were taken off, new ones had to be used to eat again. The sushi wasn’t finished, but the gloves were used up.

Ji Chenjiao called the waiter, who immediately fetched new ones. Standing at the door, Ji Chenjiao saw him take the gloves from the drawer of the standing cabinet in the corridor.

Anyone could take from that spot.

Ji Chenjiao immediately asked, “Is there a camera that can capture the standing cabinet?”

The waiter was startled, but upon learning he was police, hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes! But this camera is only for supervising our operations; it’s for internal use.”

While Ling Lie finished the last piece of beef, Ji Chenjiao was standing in front of the monitor, his guess gradually turning into truth.

At 9:46 PM, while the murder mystery game was in progress inside the private room, Wei Sheng left the room, seemingly to go to the toilet, but stopped in front of the standing cabinet. Then, he opened the drawer, took out gloves from inside, and put them in his pocket. From the direction he walked, he only returned to the private room after completing the action of going to the restroom.

Although no camera captured him placing the “Killer” card into Luo Manchai’s handbag, Ye Ruige’s testimony and this surveillance footage were already important bases for deduction.

Ji Chenjiao returned to the private room. Ling Lie was holding a piece of sushi. “Come, come, I saved the best piece for you.”

Ji Chenjiao walked over. Just as he sat down, he was fed by Ling Lie. Ling Lie’s fingers touched his teeth and lips through the glove. He suddenly felt this glove was really in the way.

Although it wasn’t time for romance, the atmosphere at this moment was too enticing, and because of the case that had to be investigated, it felt like an affair in broad daylight.

After feeding the sushi, Ling Lie didn’t retract his hand. The grease-stained glove rubbed against Ji Chenjiao’s lips.

Ji Chenjiao caught his wrist, stopping his further probing. He bit the fingertip part of the glove and pulled it off. “Investigate the case first.”

Ling Lie laughed loudly, discarded the glove, and left the table. Ji Chenjiao prepared to pay, but the waiter said, “That gentleman has already paid.”

This meal wasn’t cheap; Ling Lie couldn’t afford it even if he played waist drums ten times over. Ji Chenjiao chased after him. “We agreed I’d treat this time.”

Ling Lie laughed. “Our Special Action Team pays very well. Can’t I show off my boyfriend power occasionally?”

Ji Chenjiao: “For the sake of boyfriend power.”

Massive searches test one’s ability to discriminate. Shen Qi searched until his eyes were red, finally finding the source of the gossip claiming Luo Manchai “attempted” to exchange fate with Ye Ruige. After IP and real-name tracing, this person was a former artist assistant at Ye Ruige’s company named A-Long. He was fired a year ago for stealing artist property. He had left the entertainment industry and opened a courier station in his hometown, a small county.

Ji Chenjiao and Liang Wenxian discussed the follow-up investigation, and Liang Wenxian volunteered for the task of going out of town to find A-Long.

Arriving at the small county, Liang Wenxian showed the internet screenshot, and A-Long admitted it without much argument.

“Yes, I posted it. Wasn’t it when Ye Ruige had the car accident? People online were saying everything, and I couldn’t hold back, so I gossiped too. But I want to clarify, Luo Manchai did hire me to steal Ye Ruige’s stuff, but later she regretted it and let it drop. Whether she found someone else to steal it, I don’t know.”

Liang Wenxian asked, “Did anyone ever press you about this matter?”

“Not in reality. I didn’t dare say anything, only posted online that one time. Later people replied asking, but I didn’t respond. Thinking about it, I was a bit scared. What if someone dug up who I was?”

“But now that you mention it, I remember someone sent me a lot of private messages. And they were sent a long time after. I hadn’t logged in for a long time, and I was startled when I did.”

Liang Wenxian took A-Long’s account directly and handed it to Shen Qi to check. The person who sent the private messages was Wei Sheng.

Simultaneously, the investigation into Wei Sheng’s early experiences was also underway. He was a director who started as a screenwriter. For many years, he had been lukewarm in success. He used to have a very distinct style, but only in the last two years did he start filming works that made money but had no critical acclaim.

If a dividing line were to be drawn, it was roughly after Ye Ruige’s accident that he entered money-making mode.

everyone in the crew had been questioned several times, and Wei Sheng was evidently used to it. “What do you want to know this time?”

Ji Chenjiao threw Ye Ruige’s name out directly. “Not long ago, we visited Ye Ruige.”

Wei Sheng’s expression changed immediately. His lips moved several times, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“She mentioned you.” Ji Chenjiao continued, “She said she had a regret, which was not being able to fulfill the agreement with you. You agreed to collaborate on a work.”

Wei Sheng’s expression was complex, looking both incredulous and ecstatic. “She said that!?”

Ji Chenjiao: “Yes. When she learned you were the director of Mist on the Water, she mentioned your meeting. She remembers you and has always admired you.”

Wei Sheng’s eyes filled with tears. He hastily wiped them away twice, unable to speak.

“Do you remember this card?” Ji Chenjiao placed the evidence bag on the table. “My colleague asked you about it last time too.”

Wei Sheng: “Yeah, the one from Luo Manchai’s room.”

Ji Chenjiao: “When you were playing the murder mystery, you went to the staff standing cabinet to take a pair of gloves. What did you intend to use them for?”

Wei Sheng looked up in horror.

“Didn’t expect I’d find out?” Ji Chenjiao continued, “We also found out that you once sent thirty-five private messages in a row to a person who exposed the relationship between Luo Manchai and Ye Ruige, asking for details.”

Wei Sheng began to tremble, his breathing becoming rapid, hands on the table clenching tightly into fists.

Ji Chenjiao: “You seem convinced that Luo Manchai is the culprit behind Ye Ruige’s retirement.”

Wei Sheng suddenly shouted, “It was her!”

This reaction was somewhat unexpected. Shen Qi, watching the surveillance outside, said, “Damn, he admitted it just like that?”

“Ye Ruige had an accident, and then Luo Manchai became wildly popular. She used to be a nobody; why did Mystery Sky find her? Why did she turn red?” Wei Sheng was so agitated his sentences trembled. “Until I saw that post! She exchanged Ye Ruige’s fate!”

Ji Chenjiao: “You believe such things?”

“It happens too much! What won’t female stars do to get famous? I checked the timeline; Luo Manchai went to Country N before Ye Ruige’s accident! She went to complete the fate exchange! She harmed Ye Ruige! She killed the perfect role I created for Ye Ruige! She is the murderer!”

Ji Chenjiao tapped the evidence bag again. “So you admit that on that day, it was you who wore disposable gloves and put this card into Luo Manchai’s handbag?”

“It was me! I wanted to scare her! I wanted to let her know someone knew everything she did, someone was watching her!” As he spoke, Wei Sheng let out a string of strange laughs. “But heaven has eyes! She must have done too much evil, and someone acting for heaven finished her off! She deserved it!”

From the moment Wei Sheng readily admitted it, Ji Chenjiao had a premonition. “It wasn’t you?”

Wei Sheng’s eyes widened. “I killed her? I wanted to! But it wasn’t me! I only put the card to scare her! I’m not the murderer!”

---

The clues broke off again at a critical moment.

The assistant A-Xi who was used like a servant, Jiang Hui who used witchcraft in an attempt to complete a “double kill,” and Wei Sheng who put the “Killer” card in the handbag. They all had motives and possibilities to kill Luo Manchai, but existing evidence could not prove they were related to the suspicious man who appeared in the surveillance footage.

The captured image, the spare key card, the card, and the buzzworthy fate-exchange surgery… this case initially gave the illusion of being easy to crack. But the Serious Crimes Unit spent a large amount of manpower and time tracking directions one by one, only to hit dead ends every time.

But Ji Chenjiao still had one card left: Zhuiting Group’s Fu Chunxing.

“I know him.” Liang Wenxian was the one in the Serious Crimes Unit who paid the most attention to news reports. “This person committed suicide a few months ago. It was a grand funeral; those financial media outlets basically all reported it. Why, could he be related to the case?”

Ji Chenjiao clicked on the report from years ago where Fu Chunxing described Luo Manchai as a “goddess.” Liang Wenxian felt it was a bit far-fetched. “Just this one sentence? It’s not enough to say Fu Chunxing and Luo Manchai had any romantic entanglement, right? I searched Luo Manchai’s rumored boyfriends; this one wasn’t there. That artist director from Canlan Entertainment, last time when we were at Slinka Hotel, he was yelling at the branch bureau not to make things public. I got Luo Manchai’s dating list from him. Let alone Fu Chunxing, it had nothing to do with the entire Zhuiting Group.”

Ling Lie leaned an ear over. “Management companies even have things like dating lists?”

Liang Wenxian had all kinds of data here and found it as he spoke. “Small stars probably don’t, but didn’t Luo Manchai explode in popularity? She counts as a top star for Canlan Entertainment. For a star of her level, every move attracts attention, especially emotional issues; exposure has too big an impact. So the higher-ups have to know who she’s dating or having one-night stands with.”

Ling Lie: “Tsk tsk, no privacy at all, huh!”

Ji Chenjiao also looked at this list. After becoming famous, Luo Manchai had three serious relationships and two transactions of body for resources. These were all after Mystery Sky started filming.

In other words, Luo Manchai either had no emotional issues before recording Mystery Sky, or because she was just a D-lister then, Canlan Entertainment didn’t pay attention to her matters in this regard.

Reviewing Luo Manchai’s acting career, a big suspicious point was: why was she able to get Mystery Sky?

The entertainment industry isn’t full of chicken soup for the soul. Every resource must be fought for, exchanged for various prices or personal advantages. No wonder Wei Sheng thought Luo Manchai must have used witchcraft to exchange Ye Ruige’s fate; with Luo Manchai’s popularity at the time, it was indeed highly unlikely for her to get this variety show.

“Can’t find anything online,” Shen Qi said. “Except for that news, Luo Manchai and Fu Chunxing are practically worlds apart.”

Ji Chenjiao: “Zhuiting keeps a very tight watch on family members’ gossip. Any reports get wiped.”

“I know about this.” Liang Wenxian said, “Zhuiting doesn’t just watch sexual scandals closely. The Fu family rules are very strict; news outside of business operations is basically unsearchable.”

After speaking, he himself made a sound of surprise. “Eh?”

Ji Chenjiao: “Does Fu Chunxing’s suicide count as news outside of business operations?”

Liang Wenxian: “It counts… counts, right? Hey, I remember now. When I saw the news, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. The Fu family shouldn’t have let the media report this matter! Suicide, for a wealthy family like the Fu family, is definitely a scandal!”

Ji Chenjiao browsed the reports from that time. Saying the Fu family completely gave the media free rein wasn’t accurate. This news only appeared in financial media, and not a word was mentioned about the reason for suicide. The word “suicide” appearing was probably because a cause of death had to be given. What the media reported grandly was the funeral process. To describe it inappropriately, it was simply like a wedding of the century, not a funeral.

Ji Chenjiao asked, “Only appearing in financial media, is there some wealthy family logic in this?”

This stumped Liang Wenxian. “To appear high-class? If published in social news or entertainment news sections, it would seem vulgar?”

“So the Fu family still considers Fu Chunxing’s suicide a scar on the family, unwilling to have it discussed too much. The normal practice would be like the Fu family’s previous private news—suppress it all.” Ji Chenjiao analyzed while pacing. “But for some reason, they wanted the public to see Fu Chunxing’s funeral.”

“This…” Liang Wenxian: “Rich people’s minds are hard to guess.”

Ji Chenjiao sat down. “We have cracked the puzzles surrounding the case one by one. Regrettably, although the puzzles found answers, the truth hasn’t been revealed. What remains are puzzles with a more distant timeline: why Luo Manchai could participate in Mystery Sky, and the seemingly most far-fetched relationship with Fu Chunxing.”

“Wait!” Fanboy Shen Qi raised his hand. “I can explain this. Mystery Sky actually doesn’t look at status. There are movie kings and queens, top idols, but also people with very poor popularity. Every season is like this. Think about it, Captain-Brother, without flops, how can you highlight the popularity of the top stars?”

Ji Chenjiao shook his head. “There are thousands of D-listers. Why did the opportunity fall on Luo Manchai? Even for the lowest spot, there must have been many people fighting for it.”

Liang Wenxian: “I’ll go find someone from Canlan again, to see if Canlan Entertainment fought for this opportunity for Luo Manchai.”

Concrete investigation was essential, but Ji Chenjiao felt the possibility that Canlan Entertainment pushed Luo Manchai at that time was close to zero.

The popularity of Mystery Sky rose every season; it was now a national variety show. This show was a self-produced program of the Shanlin Video Platform, and Shanlin’s headquarters were in the capital. To clarify the situation back then, a trip to the capital was probably necessary.

Wait? Capital? Special Action Team?

Before Ji Chenjiao could speak, Ling Lie already raised his hand. “Of course, I’ll make the trip.”

---

Returning home to pack luggage for Ling Lie, Ji Chenjiao actually didn’t want to send Ling Lie on a business trip again, but cross-regional investigation procedures were cumbersome, and Shanlin might not make things easy for the Xiarong City Serious Crimes Unit. Ling Lie was from the Special Action Team; his involvement could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“Xiao Ji, you look so sad.” Ling Lie squatted by the suitcase, grinning at Ji Chenjiao.

Ji Chenjiao was absent-minded and naturally wouldn’t admit it verbally. “Then you definitely saw wrong.”

Ling Lie continued his thought, “Like a little wife whose husband is about to travel far away.”

Ji Chenjiao’s eyelid twitched. looking up, he saw Ling Lie grinning foolishly and provocatively at him. This smile made him laugh too, the deep heaviness between his brows vanishing. “Which little wife is so unlucky to be stuck with such a goofy husband?”

Ling Lie pounced. His center of gravity was unstable; one hand reflexively braced inside the suitcase, but he still fell.

Ling Lie pressed on top of him, hooking his chin. This time the smile wasn’t foolish, but carried a hint of dominance.

Ji Chenjiao propped himself up on his elbows behind him, asking deliberately, “What kind of madness is this?”

“Someone said I’m a goof, so I’ll show him goofy.” As Ling Lie spoke, he pinched Ji Chenjiao’s Adam’s apple, his rough finger pad rubbing it gently.

Ji Chenjiao’s voice was a bit hoarse. “Just this?”

“Hmm?”

Ji Chenjiao flipped over, turning the tables, pinning Ling Lie into a pile of clothes that had already been folded.

When Ling Lie sat up, his clothes were wrinkled into a ball, and his tied-up hair was pulled loose, the rubber band held in Ji Chenjiao’s mouth. Ling Lie pitifully retrieved his rubber band, patting it and muttering, “Tsk tsk tsk, won’t even spare a rubber band, what kind of beast…”

A sated beast is usually very generous and doesn’t bicker with its prey. Ji Chenjiao continued packing, treating Ling Lie’s petty monologue as pleasant BGM.

---

Early in the morning, Ling Lie took off. Liang Wenxian found the artist director of Canlan Entertainment again. After questioning various managers and Luo Manchai’s assistant at the time, the director gave a clear answer—Canlan did not give Luo Manchai resources before Mystery Sky; she got the invitation herself.

This further indicated that Mystery Sky was likely a resource given to Luo Manchai by Shanlin.

After arriving in the capital, Ling Lie didn’t go to the Special Action Team immediately but rushed to Shanlin headquarters. For this business trip, Xie Qing had issued him a full set of documents that local police could issue. It was legal and compliant, but after viewing all the documents, Shanlin’s reception staff politely took Ling Lie to the VIP lounge, saying they would get the relevant person in charge to connect as soon as possible, and then…

Ling Lie was left hanging.

In cross-regional investigations, the trouble is always in the shadows. You can’t exactly say the other party refuses to cooperate, but playing Tai Chi with this procedure and that procedure delays time and grinds down one’s temper.

However, Ling Lie had a good mindset. Since they arranged for him to rest in the VIP lounge, he acted very much like a VIP—asking for tea one moment, saying the air conditioning wasn’t cool enough the next, then saying he was hungry… The reception staff member, who looked to have a very good temper, was worn down by him and asked somewhat out of control, “What exactly do you want to do?”

Ling Lie: “I want to see someone whose words count. What, haven’t invited them over yet?”

Only then did the reception staff realize they had fallen into a trap. Previously, when people came to investigate, they dealt with them this way. Most couldn’t stand the grind and left; a small portion threw tantrums, which conveniently gave them leverage. This time, however, they encountered a big shot who made himself at home as if staying in a five-star hotel!

Ling Lie didn’t care about the people outside at all, adopting a stance of “if no one comes today, I’m not leaving.”

As time passed with no one coming, Ling Lie wasn’t anxious, but couldn’t help thinking about the bitterness of the Serious Crimes Unit’s cross-regional investigations. For their Special Action Team, as long as it wasn’t an undercover operation, once they arrived at a place, it was green lights all the way—no need to play Infernal Affairs here.

Thinking about this, Ling Lie picked up his phone and messaged Ji Chenjiao.

Ji Chenjiao was examining Zhuiting’s business map. Their headquarters wasn’t in Xiarong City, but they had several investments there, such as the summer resort hotel Yuesshangxiao, about ten kilometers outside the main city.

The phone vibrated. Ji Chenjiao picked it up and saw Ling Lie’s avatar pop up.

Xia Xiaodou: [Little Ji works so hard, feeling pity.]

Ji Chenjiao: “?”

Before he could reply, Ling Lie sent another head-pat sticker and said no need to reply, he had to work immediately and had no time to chat nonsense.

Ji Chenjiao laughed in exasperation. No time to chat nonsense yet you’re chatting?

Ling Lie really had business. The reception staff found a mid-level manager, saying he could answer the police’s questions.

The person claimed to be the director in charge of variety shows at Shanlin. He was even more polite than the person who first received Ling Lie, smiling and saying police work was truly hard, and asked for forgiveness for any lack of hospitality.

One look and Ling Lie knew this was another Tai Chi master.

Sure enough, although this director answered every question, none of the answers hit the point. occasionally, he would pretend to pick up Ling Lie’s documents to look at, determined to stall the police.

It was getting late, and the director proposed to treat Ling Lie to dinner. The dining location was the five-star hotel they booked for Ling Lie.

Fear was, once he went to this hotel, he wouldn’t be able to get away.

Ling Lie sneered internally but accepted as if he’d gained an advantage. “See you in half an hour then. I’m going to the restroom to rest a bit.”

The director beamed. “Sure, sure, please go ahead.”

There were several surveillance cameras in the VIP lounge. Ling Lie called Shen Xun from the restroom.

Shen Xun picked up and laughed. “Ready to return to the team?”

Ling Lie: “Long story short, I’m at Shanlin headquarters now. This platform might be related to that female star murder case in Xiarong City. The platform is giving me the runaround, local police documents aren’t working well, I need a special search warrant.”

Shen Xun fell silent.

Ling Lie: “?”

Shen Xun sighed. “I should have guessed you’d only look for me for the sake of Xiarong City Serious Crimes Unit.”

Shen Xun used a joking tone, and Ling Lie could tell. “One step later and the Special Action Team’s star member is going to be under house arrest.”

“Who can put you under house arrest,” Shen Xun said. “The special search warrant will be delivered in half an hour.”

“Thanks.” Ling Lie was about to hang up when he heard Shen Xun say, “Maiden family resources are useful, huh?”

Ling Lie: “…”

Shen Xun hung up after laughing, giving him no chance to retort.

Less than half an hour later, just as the director was about to invite Ling Lie to the five-star hotel for dinner, the capital police arrived with the Special Action Team’s documents. The director was startled, daring not to shirk anymore, hurriedly saying he couldn’t make the decision alone and needed to ask his superiors for instructions.

This time it was a real request for instructions. Soon, a group of solemn-faced people came to the office. One of them was the chief planner of Mystery Sky, surnamed Xu.

Anyone who watched puzzle variety shows had basically heard of Planner Xu’s big name. He was poached by Shanlin from another platform. Before Mystery Sky, he had already planned several hit puzzle shows.

Ling Lie asked, “Luo Manchai was murdered in our Xiarong City. In her acting career, you count as a talent scout. Although it’s been a long time, a clue we’re tracking relates to her joining Mystery Sky back then. What I want to know is, who recommended her from behind the scenes?”

Planner Xu was about to speak when Ling Lie reminded him, “You guys have already stalled me several times during the day. The special search warrant is here now, so save the nonsense.”

Planner Xu was clearly stunned. He turned to look at the leaders and colleagues beside him. After an exchange of glances, he said, “We had many candidates for observation. Luo Manchai’s most prominent feature was that her academic qualifications were solid. Reality shows actually have scripts and personas too. Her persona happened to fit our positioning for the established role.”

Ling Lie was prepared and named two other female stars with high education and low popularity. “They were also on your list. Why did they lose to Luo Manchai in the end?”

Planner Xu: “There were indeed multiple considerations.”

Ling Lie: “Mr. Xu, before coming to Shanlin, you worked at Weixing Platform, right?”

Planner Xu: “Ah, yes.”

Ling Lie: “Weixing Platform is invested in by Zhuiting Group. You once worked for the wealthy Fu family.”

At this point, Planner Xu’s face paled slightly, and his gaze shifted away.

Ling Lie: “It was someone from the Fu family who asked you to choose Luo Manchai, giving her this chance to become famous, right?”

Planner Xu took a deep breath. “I…”

At this moment, the police actually didn’t possess concrete evidence, but Planner Xu was just an ordinary person, finding it hard to maintain composure in front of the Special Action Team. The moment he heard the words “Fu family,” his cheek twitched several times, all seen by Ling Lie.

“By the way, I heard Fu Chunxing, the youngest son of Zhuiting’s second-in-command Fu Huizhi, committed suicide a few months ago. Was he related to Luo Manchai?” Ling Lie said, “I remind you, Luo Manchai’s death was a homicide. Although Fu Chunxing’s was suicide, the circumstances are shrouded in mist, and criminal possibilities cannot be ruled out.”

Hearing Fu Chunxing’s name, Planner Xu’s expression changed abruptly. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Everyone in the circle thought Luo Manchai got lucky, plus her knowledge really did beat others, so she exploded on my show. Some people even investigated her because of this, but couldn’t find evidence we took money to promote her! Of course they couldn’t find it, because it was the Fu family who wanted to promote her!”
