Chapter 313: Investigating Liu Sheng

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lan was suspicious that Liu Sheng and Lin Jin were working together. However, she currently had no evidence. With Lin Jin now missing, there was even less evidence pointing toward Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng stood to gain the most from Lin Jin’s disappearance.

“Liu Sheng…” Shen Lan spoke haltingly. “She is not that heartless, is she? Could she be? I’m not entirely sure. I only know that she had been pretending to be my good friend while secretly infiltrating and embezzling my family’s business. Orchestrating a car accident and kidnapping seems a little too extreme for her tastes, but I can’t be certain.

“Liu Sheng recently became the vice president of your family’s company, didn’t he? That complicates matters,” Du Tian said. She had been conducting thorough behind-the-scenes investigations since the variety show ended. After all, people had dared to plot against her. They seemed to think she was an easy target.

“Yes,” Shen Lan nodded. The memory clearly pained her. She added with a tinge of self-derision, “It’s my fault for misjudging people.”

Luo Ying held her forehead. She was lost in thought. Even Lu Zhao was having trouble locating Lin Jin. Based on Shen Lan’s description, Liu Sheng shouldn’t wield that much influence. Was it possible that she had a powerful backer? Luo Ying cautiously probed, “Does your family also trust her?”

“Yes,” Shen Lan said bitterly. “I brought her into my circle a long time ago. She’s skilled in management. Everyone trusts her, including my father. She almost perfectly fits my father’s requirements. If I wasn’t his biological daughter, he would have taken her as his daughter without a moment’s hesitation.”

Luo Ying looked at Shen Lan’s distressed expression and suddenly recalled the information she had come across earlier.

Shen Lan’s uncle was related to Lu Zhao through blood. He had managed to survive Old Master Lu’s schemes. He wasn’t a simple man and might have the power to aid Shen Lan.

However, Luo Ying kept this to herself. Instead, she tactfully asked, “Apart from your dad. who else in your family would stand by your side?”

“My uncle,” Shen Lan replied without hesitation.

“Do you mean Shen Xiu?” Du Tian recalled. “We’ve worked together before.”

“Did my uncle invest in some movie?” Shen Lan tilted her head in astonishment. Her uncle didn’t seem like someone who would involve himself in the entertainment industry.

Unbeknownst to Shen Lan, Du Tian was actually referring to the business cooperation between the Du family and Shen Xiu.

Du Tian found it difficult to evaluate Shen Xiu. She could only vaguely say, “He has a unique way of doing things. If he trusts you, investigating and dealing with Liu Sheng shouldn’t be a problem.”

Luo Ying remembered Shen Xiu’s actions in front of Old Master Lu. Du Tian’s mention of Shen Xiu’s unique style likely meant that he operated differently.

“Alright, I’ll ask my uncle for help in investigating Liu Sheng. I’ll let you know if I find any evidence,” Shen Lan promised them.

“We’ll leave it to you.” Since they wouldn’t get answers anytime soon, Luo Ying changed the topic with a smile. She mischievously grinned at Du Tian. “I’ll take a photo and post it online to let my fans know I’m safe.”

Soon, Luo Ying’s homepage updated with a new message: [The allergic reaction has subsided. Everything is fine- I’m just having some afternoon tea with friends.]

The post included pictures of desserts and a group photo. Luo Ying’s fans immediately received the notification.

[I’m glad you’re feeling better! My heart aches for you!]

[She got discharged after just one day? Was it all an act?]

[Are you crazy? So many people witnessed her being stretchered in. How could she be faking it? Allergies do come and go quickly.]

[Did anyone notice the girl on the right? Who is she? I haven’t seen her before.]

[Her two friends are the real highlight! Isn’t that Du Tian and Shen Lan? Aren’t they love rivals? Why are they having afternoon tea together? Has the world gone mad?]

[I already said it’s just a marketing stunt. In fact, Shen Lan visited the production team yesterday. It’s obvious they know each other.] [What about the photos they posted?]

[They’re probably just made-up stories based on the pictures.]

[In the photo, Du Tian and Zhou Li were simply walking together. They didn’t even hold hands. Since they know each other, it’s likely they coincidentally left in the same direction.]

[Hahaha, every time they try to smear Sister Ying, there’s always a turnaround.]

Du Tian also saw Luo Ying’s new post and smiled warmly. She appreciated Luo Ying efforts to help clarify things..
