Chapter 84 I never expected Gu Yishen to love being a bear.

Seeing that Luo Jiayin remained noncommittal, Lin Manyi's aggrieved expression deepened.

"Daoist Luo Chenzi, I know you were entrusted by the master to help our Song family find out the truth, but when this happened today, only we people in the manor are suspects..."

"I didn't mean anything by it, but if it's just a matter of suspicion, then aren't you also..."

Lin Manxi knew when to stop and didn't continue.

However, almost everyone understood the meaning behind Lin Manxi's words.

Luo Jiayin wasn't stupid; of course she could tell too.

Doesn't that mean that Luo Jiayin, as a guest participant, must have a motive and suspicion of murder just because she's standing here?

"Actually, we are all suspects, aren't we? You don't need to focus only on me. Just make sure the real culprit gets away."

She adopted this victim-like posture to make others think that Luo Jiayin was deliberately targeting her, trying to draw everyone's attention to her and reduce suspicion on herself.

Seeing that Luo Jiayin remained silent, Lin Manyi assumed that she had tacitly agreed, so she continued to feign nonchalance and said, "Daoist Luo Chenzi, I know that what I'm saying might make you uncomfortable."

"How about this? You've been questioning us for quite a while now. Why don't you tell us where you went and what you did when the incident happened? That way we'll have a better understanding of the situation and be more comfortable entrusting the Song family to you, right?"

So this is where they were waiting for her.

Lin Manyi felt that Luo Jiayin had replaced the original "guide" role, and that her character was driving the plot forward, so she was getting all the limelight and it was a bit unbalanced.

Actually, Luo Jiayin didn't really care. She didn't want to do it, but the director made her do it, so she did it.

Besides, she guessed that the director probably didn't put her in charge of guiding the story because he valued her abilities so much. It was more likely that the character she played was well-suited to take the lead in this kind of role.

Moreover, the original script was about "Patriarch Song" asking "Luo Chenzi" to help investigate the situation of the Song family. This part of the plot should have been written into everyone's script.

Therefore, considering all aspects, it is indeed most appropriate for "Luo Chenzi" to be the leader.

However, she also understood that Lin Manxi was blinded by love, or rather, blinded by "Gu Yishen's love," and that with her current intelligence, she probably hadn't thought of these things.

Anyway, so far only Luo Jiayin and Ren Haoyu haven't introduced themselves yet, so it doesn't matter to Luo Jiayin who introduces themselves first or last.

Luo Jiayin is a refined and virtuous "enlightened master," and is really not suitable to confront Lin Manyi head-on.

Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow, looked around, and prepared to introduce herself first.

"Since Concubine Lin has said so, then I shall also tell you about my activities today."

Luo Jiayin took two steps forward, approaching the camera lens, then turned around, flicked her whisk, and the tip of the snow-white horsehair "inadvertently" brushed against Lin Manyi's cheek.

Caught off guard, Lin Manxi was suddenly whipped in the face by a ponytail, causing her to squint and close her eyes. She then stumbled, losing her balance and taking a few steps back.

When it comes to how Lin Manxi takes advantage of Gu Yishen in various ways, her mind works incredibly fast.

In that instant, Lin Manxi felt that Luo Jiayin's slapping her with the whisk was a "golden opportunity"!

All she had to do was play along, find Gu Yishen's location, and then lean back, so she could "fall" right into his arms.

And then she'll squeeze out a couple of tears, feign grievance, and question Luo Jia about why he deliberately whipped her with the whisk, then choke out a question like, "Does Teacher Luo Jia have some misunderstanding with me?"

Tomorrow's trending topics will definitely link her to Gu Yishen!!

Not only that, it can also make Luo Jia a little bit of a target for criticism about his character, and then Gu Yishen will no longer tolerate Luo Jia's "bundled marketing" and CP hype.

Even if Gu Yishen doesn't mind, his loyal fans would not allow their idol to be associated with someone like Luo Jia, who has bad character and personality.

This is truly killing two birds with one stone, achieving two goals at once, and it's bound to succeed!

At this moment, Lin Manxi's heart began to flutter with pink ripples. She could already imagine herself falling backward like this, and Gu Yishen catching her in the process.

She fell into Gu Yishen's arms in an extremely delicate and graceful posture.

A perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Lin Manxi was secretly pleased.

Lin Manxi used her peripheral vision to pinpoint Gu Yishen's location and took small, quick steps backward.

They were really too close. After all, her and Gu Yishen's seats were right next to each other.

Lin Manxi's heart was pounding.

It's very close...

It was just a tiny bit short...

This is the spot!

fall! !

...

With a "thud," the gentle embrace that Lin Manxi had anticipated did not arrive. Instead, her delicate and boneless "princess body" fell heavily to the ground, and her head accidentally bumped against the chair where Gu Yishen was sitting.

Lin Manxi turned her head in disbelief to look in the direction where she had fallen.

There's no way she could be wrong! At such a close distance, she couldn't possibly have tilted!

Lin Manxi looked on with a puzzled expression as she searched for Gu Yishen's figure.

It turned out that Gu Yishen had been paying attention to the interaction between Lin Manyi and Luo Jiayin. Just as Lin Manyi was about to fall, Gu Yishen, who was prepared, immediately pretended to instinctively dodge and took a step away from his position.

"Oh dear, Concubine Lin, what's wrong with you?"

A slightly surprised voice suddenly came from above.

Lin Manyi looked up and saw Luo Jiayin with her back to the camera, smiling and staring at her from where the camera couldn't see her.

Lin Manxi secretly resented Luo Jia!

Why is he looking at me so smugly?

You're happy to see me make a fool of myself, aren't you? You even deliberately come up to me to show off!

I swear to God!

Luo Jiayin genuinely didn't intend to mock Lin Manyi this time; just hearing the sound of Lin Manyi falling down made her feel a pang of pain.

It's really...

She never expected this!

The "refined and easy-going actor" surprisingly doesn't like being the hero who saves a beautiful woman from danger; instead, he prefers to be the coward who runs away as soon as things turn bad.
