After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

“I’m pretty sure I understand now why you felt they were…flirting.”

Ye Sanqing shook his head at the screen.

It takes a long time to strangle someone to death; if you really want to kill them, this method is far too inefficient.

“Moreover, when I video chatted with them, I only saw scratches, not pinch marks,” Sheng Hanyu said.

This means that Lu Mingye was just bluffing.

Sure enough, after only a minute or two, Lu Wangshen tilted his head back, took a breath, patted Lu Mingye's hand, and let go of his hand.

"Are you serious?" Lu Wangshen coughed twice before speaking.

There weren't many marks on his neck, which meant that Lu Mingye hadn't used much force.

"If you're serious, I'll let go?" Lu Mingye sneered. "Isn't that what you want me to do?"

"Will you do whatever I ask?" Lu Wangshen asked, feigning anticipation. "Then I need you..."

"Hey, that's enough." Lu Mingye sat down next to him, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one for himself.

"I want to smoke a cigar."

"I'm not giving it to you! Take it or leave it."

Lu Mingye said he wouldn't give it to him, but he handed over the whole pack of cigarettes. Lu Wangshen refused and snatched the lit cigarette from Lu Mingye's mouth.

Lu Mingye gave up on pursuing his unreasonable behavior, lit another cigarette, and said after finishing it, "The people chasing us are the same ones, aren't they?"

“Sometimes I do think about getting plastic surgery,” Lu Wangshen said, seemingly talking about a completely unrelated topic, but it wasn’t unrelated. “Seeing my face, which looks so much like his, I can’t help but get angry.”

“Not really,” Lu Mingye turned to look at him and said, “If we’re really talking about similarities, we do look somewhat alike.”

"So, would that mean disfiguring him would be even faster?" Lu Wang pondered.

"You can't catch him, can you? If you could, the Ye family would have found him long ago," Lu Mingye said helplessly.

"By the way, did something like that happen again this time? You know what I mean." Lu Wangshen gestured.

"I don't know if this counts..." Lu Mingye recounted the sudden warning Ye Sanqing gave him during their phone call.

“I don’t think it counts. It would only count if you went out onto the balcony to make a phone call and the balcony suddenly collapsed,” Lu Wangshen said. “I still haven’t figured out how to explain this.”

"If you can't think of anything, then don't think about it anymore." Lu Mingye exhaled a smoke ring. "You're fine now, but were you also given a warning?"

"How could I be as lucky as you? I almost crawled back from South America!" Lu Wangshen sneered. "In the end, it's all thanks to my own efforts."

“If you don’t want to do it, no one can force you to,” Lu Mingye said noncommittally.

"That's true."

"...Have some shame, will you?"

"No."

"Okay, what would you like to eat?"

Lu Mingye's change of topic was extremely abrupt, but given the look in his eyes as he looked at the surveillance camera, Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu could both tell that he didn't want to continue the discussion on camera.

"Are you going to buy it for me again? Or are you going to make it yourself? Don't poison me," Lu Wangshen said with disdain.

"I was just asking casually. Don't people need to register when they order food? Don't make things difficult for their employees."

"I want to eat dry pot bullfrog."

"What's wrong with you? Haven't you seen enough frogs in South America?"

"That is really poisonous; you can only look at it, you can't eat it."

"Okay, I'll message them and say..."

After sending the message, Lu Mingye noticed that Lu Wangshen was still staring at him. "What, is there something else?"

Lu Wangshen pointed to the wheelchair.

"Where are you going?" Lu Mingye showed no intention of helping him back.

"I've been on a plane for a long time, I'm very tired, and I want to take a shower."

“Okay.” Lu Mingye said, picking him up and carrying him toward the bedroom.

"Will you wash it for me?"

"What kind of nonsense question is that?"

The door closed, and Ye Sanqing blinked.

Is there another video recording?

“Yes, there is…” Sheng Hanyu fast-forwarded through the video.

The scenes where no one was in the living room were cut out. Next, Lu Mingye changed into a bathrobe, came out of the bedroom, and pushed the wheelchair in.

Fast forward to the next scene: a little later, Lu Wangshen came out to smoke by himself, and by then he already had scratches on his chest.

Ye Sanqing glanced at the time. "He's going to take a shower for more than two hours?"

“No… I think it’s more than just taking a bath.” Sheng Hanyu sighed, rubbing her forehead.

That being said, he didn't think the two of them had done anything too outrageous.

Lu Wangshen seemed to be doing it on purpose in front of the camera; he doesn't usually talk like that.

It's highly likely that Lu Wangshen knew they would be watching the surveillance footage, and he deliberately played a prank on them... and Lu Mingye usually cooperated with him very well.

Seeing that the two of them started eating the dry pot bullfrog as if nothing had happened, Ye Sanqing waved his hand and said, "You can turn it off now."

Sheng Hanyu sensed that she was a little disappointed. "There really aren't any security cameras in the bedroom."

"It's a real shame this part wasn't recorded," Ye Sanqing shook his head. "What do you think would happen if we sent the video to Fu Sizhou?"

"Nothing will happen. Does that mean everything flowing through the world will turn into vinegar?" Sheng Hanyu laughed.

"I had a feeling he'd say, 'Why didn't you invite him?' Oh?" ​​Ye Sanqing suddenly realized, "Seriously, why didn't anyone invite him this time?"

“He went out to sea... there’s no way to call him even if we wanted to,” Sheng Hanyu said.

Fu Sizhou did indeed go to resolve the issue of the Nordic route. Since he went in person, Sheng Hanyu can consider it a sign of some sincerity for now.

"He's quick to avoid things like this..." Ye Sanqing said.

In fact, that's not all. Both Lu Mingye and Lu Wangshen deliberately avoided Fu Sizhou this time.

Ye Sanqing knew the reason: no matter which side Fu Sizhou sided with, it would only complicate the situation further, and neither of them was confident about that.

But the thing about her is that the more others try to avoid something, the more she wants to do it... especially those who don't share her views.

"I really think it's a shame not to send it to him."

"You just want to see the show, right?" Sheng Hanyu laughed. "But I think it's too early to bring it out now. Aren't they just pretending to be dead?"

“Right, I almost forgot. This fake news is already enough of a headache for Fu Sizhou.” Ye Sanqing chuckled. “Let’s wait until they’re dead for a while before sending it to him.”

"Let's just cut out the part where Lu Mingye choked Lu Wangshen's neck," Sheng Hanyu suggested earnestly.

"Okay, I agree." Ye Sanqing looked at the black screen and said, "Now what do we say? Should we go have lunch first, or do you go find your dad first?"

"Didn't he go to the film set? Should I talk to him tonight?" Sheng Hanyu seemed to avoid the question.

"He doesn't have any scenes, you can go see him anytime."

"I'll wait for him to come back here... No, I'll go back and get some sleep first, and wait for him to come back." Sheng Hanyu said, trying to stand up.

Watching that video was even more exhausting than the past few days he spent at the Lu family's house; it was mentally exhausting...

"You should rest more, but why don't you have lunch before you leave?" Ye Sanqing said.

"also."
