Chapter 878 Guessed Wrong

Upon hearing Li Guangjun's words, Ye Wanxi and the others suddenly realized what he meant.

The information he gathered seemed unrelated to their identities, but that was not the case.

The old man likes to go to the suburbs. Why does he like to go to the suburbs?

In ancient times, urban and rural areas were separated, and most of the land for growing grain was outside the city. So, the old man went to the suburbs not to play, but to check on the grain, which is consistent with the identity of the Yang family as grain merchants.

And when the Second Master had free time, he would accompany the Second Madam to go out and listen to storytellers, which made things even more interesting.

Back then, where could you find storytellers?

It must be a restaurant, so the two of them must have gone to the restaurant owned by the second wife!

"As for me," Li Guangjun said with a smile, "I like to climb high and look far, and to walk around the city. I have a room outside all year round so that if I am delayed and stay out late, I can stay outside and not come back to this mansion."

"From the first two sentences, we can deduce the identities of the master and the second mistress. By analogy, we can deduce my identity from this sentence. This inn is the one I manage. I am the accountant and the manager of this inn."

The director's expression was complicated; he was completely convinced.

"As for the identity behind that, I deduced it from some props in my room. There was something hanging above my bed in my room that ordinary people at the time could not possess. Therefore, I guessed that this adopted son of the Yang family must have been on the front lines and carved out a place for himself through his own abilities, and his position was not low."

After finishing her analysis, Li Guangjun smiled and asked the director, "Director, am I right? Will we be able to have dinner tonight?"

The director was annoyed by his smug grin and waved his hand, saying, "Eat, eat, eat. The production team wouldn't skimp on your food."

Upon hearing this, Li Guangjun smiled even more like a fox: "Then thank you, Director."

The director glared at the three couples, placing all his hopes on Lian Lifan and his partner.

"You two are the only ones left. Who wants to go first?"

Lin Yuxiu clenched her fists instinctively, about to speak, when she heard Lian Lifan say, "I'll go first. My identity is..."

"etc."

Before Lian Lifan could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi interrupted him, her face instantly darkening: "What advice does Miss Ye have?"

Ye Wanxi glanced at him and chuckled, "I wouldn't presume to offer any advice, but I can't help but ask out of curiosity, Mr. Lian, would you be willing to have Miss Lin announce your identity on your behalf?"

Lin Yuxiu was surprised that Ye Wanxi would suddenly call her name. After a moment of stunned silence, she subconsciously looked at Lian Lifan.

Lian Lifan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He thought that Ye Wanxi was retaliating against him for jumping out to accuse her of revealing Feng Tianyu's identity.

He glared angrily at Lin Yuxiu and gritted his teeth, saying, "Yuxiu and I were assigned to different places this time, and the clues we found about each other are limited, unlike Miss Ye and Mr. Feng who are always together and can inform each other in time about anything they find. I'll announce this identity myself."

While politely refusing, Lian Lifan didn't forget to take a jab at Ye Wanxi and her companion, pointing out that it was unfair that there were two of them against him.

That makes sense, but the key point is that Ye Wanxi just pointed it out.

The photos in the Fourth Miss's room reveal everyone's identities, including Lian Lifan's.

It would have been the safest approach to have Lin Yuxiu bring it up, but unfortunately, the other person didn't appreciate it, so there was nothing she could do.

Ye Wanxi turned to Lin Yuxiu and gave her a helpless look. Lin Yuxiu smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Lian Lifan insisted on revealing his identity, Lin Yuxiu had no objection, and no one else would have any objection either.

He quickly gave his answer: "My identity is that of an actor, and the role I often play should be a martial arts actor. The evidence is the theatrical headdresses in my room, and the weapons placed next to them."

After Lian Lifan finished speaking, the scene fell into a sudden, deathly silence.

A moment later, Lian Lifan's smug expression froze. He turned his head and looked around, only to find that everyone seemed to be waiting for him to continue.

Even the director couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"

Lian Lifan was stunned. If it wasn't this, then what was it? Could he have another identity besides this?

That shouldn't be the case! He turned the room upside down; if there were other items, there's no way he wouldn't have found them.

The director, however, understood his expression and immediately became energized, asking again, "I'll ask you one more time, are you sure?"

Lian Lifan glanced at everyone and gritted his teeth: "I'm sure. I am a guest of honor of the Yang family, and also a leading actor in a theatrical troupe who is originally a martial arts performer."

The director clapped his hands and burst out laughing: "Wrong answer! You must accept the punishment. In addition to canceling dinner, there is a mysterious mission waiting for you tomorrow."

"Impossible!" Lian Lifan's mentality collapsed instantly when he heard the director say that. He just couldn't accept that the task that everyone else could easily complete was something he had guessed wrong.

He was definitely being targeted; it was all rigged. This show is rigged!

"Director, you said my answer is wrong, so what is the correct answer?"

The director was startled by Lian Lifan's sudden loud voice, and then his expression immediately turned rather unpleasant upon hearing his question.

Seeing this, Ye Wanxi suddenly spoke up, saying, "The answers are all on the cards in the director's hand. Now there's only one guest whose identity hasn't been revealed yet. We can wait until she finishes speaking before revealing it."

Everyone then realized that Lian Lifan's answer was wrong, and it seemed that the couple would be starving, but Lin Yuxiu's hidden identity had not yet been revealed.

Although it was all in vain, everyone was still curious about her identity.

Lin Yuxiu met everyone's gaze, took a deep breath, and said, "My identity is the fourth young lady of the Yang family. In addition, I am also a photographer and... reporter."

"A reporter?" Gu Shaoling looked surprised. "Then those photos could be...?"

Lin Yuxiu blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "Those photos should be practice pieces, mostly depicting the daily lives of family members. That's why Miss Ye just said that the photos contain clues to everyone's identities."

When Lin Yuxiu brought up the matter again, everyone looked at Lian Lifan in unison.

Lian Lifan's face turned pale, but he subconsciously denied it. This woman was so stupid that even if the photos were right in front of her, she definitely wouldn't notice. She was just echoing Ye Wanxi when she said those words.

Even if she did notice something unusual in the photo, given her personality, she would definitely tell me immediately; she would never keep it from me.

Thinking of this, Lian Lifan felt a little more at ease and became even more convinced that Lin Yuxiu definitely knew nothing!
