After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Brother, someone must have tampered with the water dispenser in my RV."

"I've already had the water dispenser sealed up. Send someone to my old lab to find out what the poison is."

Upon seeing the message from Lu Lingchen, Lu Lingjun felt a slight sense of relief.

Seeing that it was almost time, he knocked on Lu Ting's office door.

"Dad, I'm all set for now. Jian is still on set, and I'd like to go pick her up and take her home."

There's a senior management meeting coming up, but he said he wanted to go pick up his sister and take her home.

Lu Ting scrutinized him for a moment before finally agreeing: "Go ahead. It'll be dark and the roads will be slippery at night, so have the driver be careful."

After receiving permission, Lu Lingjun notified the driver to prepare the car.

He had just reached the lobby on the first floor when Lin Yuxi chased after him in her high heels.

"Young Master! Aren't you going to attend the meeting later?"

These past few days, Lu Ting has clearly been keeping Lu Lingjun on the sidelines. But if Lu Lingjun doesn't even attend these high-level group meetings, and is completely clueless about the company's operations, development, and strategic direction, then he will truly be excluded from the core power circle.

Lu Lingjun held the umbrella, his expression calm. "No, if you have nothing else to do, you should go home early. It's gotten colder today."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the rain to get into the car, when suddenly he felt a sharp throbbing in his chest.

The umbrella tilted, and rainwater instantly poured over him.

"Young Master!" Lin Yuxi exclaimed, rushing over with her umbrella.

Lu Lingjun clutched his chest, staring blankly at the rain.

He was familiar with this feeling; he had felt a pang of anxiety the night Lu Lingbo had his accident, but it wasn't very noticeable.

The night before that, the night Lu Sijian fell from the building, it was the same; it felt like a dull thud to the heart.

He bent down to pick up the umbrella, hurriedly got into the car, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Something must be about to happen! His heart was pounding, and an ominous shadow loomed over him.

-

Lu Sijian did not agree to have dinner with Lu Lingchen, but went to Liang Yue's place instead.

Liang Yue's mother is staying with her daughter on set. She is old and in poor health and can't find a job, so she stays by her daughter's side and cooks for her.

Upon learning that Lu Sijian had helped Liang Yue today, the old man specially prepared a meal to thank Lu Sijian.

The film crew had very basic conditions; the food was served on a small camping table with four small stools.

The dishes were served in insulated containers; they were very common home-style dishes, but they were excellent in color, aroma, and taste.

"I'm sorry, my mom went too late today and couldn't buy any shrimp." Liang Yue smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed to serve such a small amount of food to her guests.

She noticed it during the day; Lu Sijian's demeanor clearly indicated that she came from a wealthy family.

Seeing Sheng Yunchao now, this feeling is even stronger.

The old lady served the dishes deftly and quickly. She didn't seem to talk much, but her eyes showed obvious gratitude.

Lu Sijian: "It's okay, this dish looks delicious."

She sat down gracefully, dispelling the awkwardness between the mother and daughter.

Sheng Yunchao smiled and said, "It was probably me who disturbed you. I hope you don't mind."

He was very aware of his role as a freeloader, and took the initiative to take over the work from the old lady, serving rice to the two ladies. When he tried to serve rice to the old lady, she hurriedly waved her hand and left.

After the three of them finished eating, the old lady suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly cleared away all the dishes and chopsticks.

They also asked Liang Yue to accompany the two distinguished guests for a walk before filming started.

The film crew rented a traditional Chinese garden. It wasn't very big, but the scenery was quite nice, and they could look around.

After the group walked around for a while, Liang Yue was called away by the crew members.

Lu Sijian's gaze fell on some staff members wearing raincoats, and her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yunchao asked. "Is something about to happen?"

Lu Sijian thought for a moment: "That Yu Qu is so vengeful. Do you think he'll let this go after suffering such a big loss today?"

Sheng Yunchao followed her gaze and asked, "You mean, you suspect he might return tonight and sneak in to hurt someone?"

Lu Sijian: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe they just don't have the guts..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

A figure flashed past in the crowd, so fast that she almost thought she was seeing things.

[No way, I actually guessed right?]

[Wait a minute, if he's here to take revenge on Lu Lingchen, do I need to get involved?]

I'm afraid he's here to see Liang Yue...

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat.

Sheng Yunchao quickly realized something was wrong, "Which direction did he go?"

"Over there!" Lu Sijian ran towards that direction.

Liang Yue was listening to the assistant director explain the scene; there was nothing unusual when they entered.

"You mean Yu Qu has infiltrated again?" Not only Liang Yue was surprised, but the assistant director was also taken aback.

He was busy filming other people's scenes and didn't know that Yu Qu had spread rumors about him and Liang Yue's alleged sexual harassment. He was furious when he found out later.

He called over several staff members, explained the situation, and instructed them to be careful.

Seeing that they understood, Lu Sijian left, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to go and check on Lu Lingchen.

"You mean Yu Qu infiltrated? No way." The manager was skeptical.

He had a good impression of Yu Qu and didn't think the other party would be so impulsive, so he went back to the film crew.

What could one person possibly do when so many people from the film crew come in?

Lu Lingchen picked up a bottle of mineral water. He had only been drinking this brand of mineral water lately because he was afraid of being poisoned. He was very careful about imported products and hadn't had a water dispenser in his RV for a long time.

Just as I was about to drink it, I suddenly realized that the bottle cap was open.

His expression shifted slightly, and he pretended to have just opened it, casually handing it to Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian took it, played with it in her hand for a moment, then put it down. "I won't drink it."

Lu Lingchen: "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll poison you?"

He took it and drank a sip. "Are you relieved now?"

Lu Sijian: "..."

【boring!】

She had just gotten up to leave when she suddenly felt a shadow pounce on her.

Yu Qu seized the opportunity and rushed forward, intending to stab Lu Lingchen.

He had only gone halfway when someone grabbed his wrist.

Sheng Yunchao snatched the fruit knife, pulled the other person forward, and the other person fell to the ground.

"My God, Yu Qu, it really is you!" The manager was stunned. "You still want to kill Ling Chen? Are you crazy?"

Lu Sijian: "Why did you come back again tonight...?"

She looked into Yu Qu's eyes, and the reflection in them was Lu Lingchen behind her.

The other person reached out towards her back, as if making a chokehold.

The hand was already touching her throat; she should have dodged or fought back, but she didn't.

The next second, Lu Lingchen leaned his entire body against her.

With a thud, the mineral water bottle fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere.

-

As soon as Lu Lingjun got out of the car, he heard the siren of an ambulance behind him, piercing the dark night sky.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he rushed inside.

"What happened?" he asked hurriedly upon seeing Lu Lingchen's assistant.

"Ling Chen has fainted!"
