The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

An Ling never expected that Yang Yao would actually consider eliminating her because of Gu Chenming's hint.

[Yang Yao really wants to make a move on me?]

However, she's only at the stage of thinking about it for now.

On the one hand, she had never done anything like this before, and hadn't yet figured out the best approach.

On the other hand, she knew she couldn't do it herself, since she didn't want to get herself involved. So, hiring someone to do the killing would be best, but she didn't have the resources or know where to find someone to do it.

The An family has once again raised their awareness of the viciousness and shamelessness of Gu Chenming and Yang Yao.

However, knowing in advance that the two had such thoughts gave them a chance to prepare.

From that day on, the An family sent people to monitor Yang Yao and Gu Chenming 24 hours a day, to see if they had contact with any suspicious people or if they had any unusual behavior.

An Ling would also check the latest information about the two of them every day to see what they were planning to do to her.

About half a month later, Yang Yao accidentally came into contact with a few people who were willing to do anything for money. Of course, this accident was just Yang Yao's own perception. In reality, these people were also approached by Gu Chenming at his suggestion.

The most coincident thing is that these people are the same ones who kidnapped An Ling in the original story. It seems that Gu Chenming, this transmigrator, is really dedicated. Even when it comes to getting rid of An Ling, he wants to be as close to the original story as possible.

Yang Yao was indeed tempted and negotiated a price with these people.

Moreover, she only contacted these people online and had never met them in person, so she assumed that even if they were arrested, it wouldn't involve her.

Sigh, while it's true that a bad person's cleverness is often better than a bad person's cunning, those who are both bad and stupid are the most troublesome. Why did I have to be targeted by one of them?

[Fine, there's no evidence left of what Yang Yao and Gu Chenming did in the past, so let's just settle this old score together.]

Anling decided to turn the tables on them.

Aside from having someone keep an eye on those few people, she didn't do anything else to alert them.

The information found by the role lookup tool was insufficient to constitute evidence, so she waited to see when they would take action.

After waiting for about half a month, An Ling received a call from Gu Chenming.

An Ling looked at Gu Chenming's caller ID on her phone and knew they were probably preparing to take action.

She took a deep breath and deliberately sounded surprised when she answered the phone:

"Brother Chenming? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"You tell me, Xiaoling, isn't it because if I don't contact you now, you won't reach out to me? I've been waiting for you to call me, but you haven't even sent me a single message."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Chenming's voice was so gentle that An Ling felt like vomiting.

"Xiaoling, didn't you always say you liked me the most? You haven't fallen for someone else, have you?"

"Brother Chenming, what are you saying? How could I fall for someone else?" An Ling rubbed her goosebump-covered arms and scolded playfully, "I was just afraid of bothering you. Didn't you always tell me not to call you so often because it would affect your work?"

That's good, it's a familiar reaction.

An Ling's behavior during this period did indeed arouse Gu Chenming's suspicion, but he also remembered that he had used system items on An Ling before, so An Ling should have been forced to maintain her original character setting.

He had been worried that the sudden disappearance of the system might affect the effectiveness of the items, but after hearing An Ling's reply, he felt a little relieved.

Originally, if Yang Yao's plan had gone smoothly and completely eliminated An Ling, Gu Chenming wouldn't have needed to worry so much. But Yang Yao is too useless; she hasn't taken any action yet.

He wanted to proactively create an opportunity for Yang Yao.

"That was my fault. Can I apologize? Actually, I was always happy when you contacted me, but I was just too embarrassed to admit it. Now I realize how torturous it is not to hear from you."

【vomit--】

An Ling mentally gagged.

[This acting is way too over-the-top!]

“Xiao Ling, I really miss you, but I can’t get away because I just started filming.”

And you? Do you want to see me?

"I...of course I want to!" An Ling continued, feigning surprise and flattery. "But you're filming a movie."

"Can't you come see me while I'm filming?" Gu Chenming also pretended to be sad. "I'm just in the next province, it's only a three or four-hour drive away, Xiaoling, aren't you willing to do that?"

"Yes! Of course I'm willing!" An Ling replied immediately. "As long as you don't find me annoying, Brother Chenming, I'd be willing to go for thirty hours, let alone three!"

Gu Chenming raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile.

It seems his previous worries were just him scaring himself; An Ling is clearly still infatuated with him.

"Okay, I'll send you the address later. The scenery here is quite nice, let me know before you come."

"Okay! I'll go in a couple of days!"

An Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, finally she didn't have to put on an act with Gu Chenming while she was disgusted.

The scenery there is certainly beautiful. Gu Chenming is currently filming a martial arts drama, and although the location where the crew is currently shooting can't be described as a deep mountain forest, it is still quite remote, making it a good place to start.

An Ling planned to go in a couple of days so that she could figure out Yang Yao and the others' plans in advance and make preparations accordingly.

She wanted to catch them in the act, but she didn't expect to actually put herself in danger.

The most anxious people were An Ling's parents. They wanted to confront An Ling directly several times and ask her not to go.

Even with such bizarre things as a system and a transmigrator, An's parents were really unsure whether revealing their ability to hear An Ling's thoughts would have any impact on her.

Just to be on the safe side, they could only send people in advance to guard all the necessary places along the route to Gu Chenming's filming location, so that they could follow An Ling and protect her in case of any accidents.

Gu Chenming indeed revealed to Yang Yao that An Ling was going to visit the set. Yang Yao seized the opportunity as he wished, and after having a few people scout the area, they decided to make their move on An Ling on a relatively secluded path.

An Ling made a point of telling Gu Chenming her departure time the next day a day in advance. Gu Chenming even asked An Ling for the license plate number of the vehicle she would be traveling in, claiming that he had informed the film crew in advance.

The men who had been paid to do the job had already staked out their carefully chosen location, planning to first stop An Ling's car and then take her to a more remote mountain area to dispose of her. That way, even if the An family realized An Ling was missing, it would take them some time to find her body, and they could use that time to take Yang Yao's remaining payment and scatter.
