Chapter 35 Her husband couldn't possibly be a pervert

At this point, Zhu Ming's "corpse" was left outside the kitchen, while the remaining nine people went to the living room.

"Why don't we leave first..." Zhang Yuan suggested, her voice trembling with sobs, as she looked expectantly and dependently in Lu Zhuokai's direction.

However, Lu Zhuokai was still comforting Ji Lin, who hadn't said a word, "Linlin, were you scared? Don't worry, everything will be alright. I will definitely protect you."

Even though they were both trying to protect others, Jiang Liyue found Zhou Yulin's agreement to her request quite endearing.

However, Lu Zhuokai's opening remarks sounded particularly greasy.

She also noticed that Zhang Yuan looked somewhat disappointed and resentful when Lu Zhuokai was comforting Ji Lin.

What a love triangle drama! Jiang Liyue felt like she was watching someone else's melodramatic soap opera.

She used to be the one acting, but now she's watching with great interest as an audience member.

"If you ask me, let's go down the mountain and call the police now. Anyway, the murderer is definitely among us, and the police will definitely be able to find out!" Peng Shan said impatiently.

After saying that, he ignored everyone else's reactions, grabbed a flashlight, and headed towards the door.

Yuan Le and Ma Lulu followed him; one of their mission objectives was to leave Blood Moon Villa.

They knew it wouldn't be that simple, but they wanted to see how things were going outside first.

Jiang Liyue had been observing Lu Zhuokai and the others, and upon seeing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in both his and Hou Wu's eyes.

She became even more certain of her guess.

They set up this setup to film a video, and they definitely didn't want all the participants to leave at this point.

At least wait until they've filmed enough videos by tomorrow before telling everyone the truth.

He can also take the opportunity to win the heart of a beauty, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Zhuokai didn't care at all whether everyone would be angry when they found out the truth the next day.

His videos bring traffic to people like them, and it's an honor for them to participate in his filming.

Anyway, he's rich. If anyone is really dissatisfied, he can just throw some money at them and that'll be enough.

So when Lu Zhuokai saw Peng Shan and a few others determined to leave the villa, displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But given the current atmosphere, if they don't follow suit, they'll inevitably be suspected.

So the group followed and walked towards the door.

Peng Shan, who had walked to the gate first, stopped in his tracks.

From Jiang Liyue's perspective, a thick white fog had appeared outside, enveloping the entire villa.

In the darkness, visibility is almost zero.

Even if you went out with a flashlight, you probably wouldn't be able to see the road ahead.

Seeing this, Lu Zhuokai breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned and pretended to be regretful: "It's easy for fog to get in the mountains at night. Look how thick the fog is now. If we go out at this time, we won't be able to find the way at all."

"Exactly, the temperature drops at night. If you get lost in the mountains, you can easily freeze to death if you suffer from hypothermia."

Hou Wu chimed in from the side, holding up the camera to capture everyone's terrified expressions.

"I guess the signal might be lost because of the thick fog," Lu Zhuokai sighed.

Everyone returned to the living room.

Jiang Liyue already knew it wouldn't be that simple, so she barely walked more than a few steps.

Zhou Yulin squeezed her hand reassuringly, and when Jiang Liyue looked over, he whispered, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Liyue's eyes lit up for a moment: "Honey, you're comforting me now, that's so nice."

Zhou Yulin liked the way she looked at him so intently; it seemed he had found a way to keep her looking at him.

“I, I will protect you,” Zhou Yulin continued, mimicking Lu Zhuokai’s tone.

"Yes." Jiang Liyue nodded vigorously.

Zhou Yulin persisted, and after thinking for a moment, said, "You stay by my side."

“I will.” Jiang Liyue continued to look at him.

She realized he had been struggling to think of anything else to say, so she burst out laughing: "Honey, you're so cute."

Zhou Yulin didn't know why she suddenly said that, but he thought she looked beautiful when she smiled, and his eyes gradually became more intense.

Their laughter caught Zhang Yuan's attention.

She was already upset, but when Lu Zhuokai, whom she had a crush on, not only ignored her completely but also focused on comforting Ji Lin, it made her even more upset.

Hearing Jiang Liyue's laughter, she tensed up immediately: "What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh at a time like this? Did you kill someone?"

Her voice was loud and her tone was particularly sharp, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Suddenly, Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin, who were originally standing to the side and could have kept their presence to themselves, became the center of attention.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Liyue's face turned cold instantly.

“Weren’t you and your husband the last to appear? Maybe you killed someone and then hid upstairs.” Zhang Yuan glared at them, her tone becoming more and more certain as she spoke.

"Besides, everyone was so scared just now, and you were still laughing. Who else could it be but the murderer!"

But after she finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her spine, and she trembled with fear: "It must be you, you are the murderers..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others indeed gave Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin strange looks.

Jiang Liyue laughed upon hearing this: "Even police officers need evidence to solve cases. Just because I laugh, you think I'm the murderer? What if I'm just naturally cheerful?"

Hahaha, it's amazing how naturally cheerful he is!

Is this woman just jealous seeing other couples being so sweet and loving? Can't other people be happy in their relationships?

[That's right, that's right. My sister Yue is naturally cheerful, and everyone from the last dungeon has confirmed it.]

[After all, she's someone who can smile and call a monster "sister," so what's a mere corpse to her?]

"Pfft." Ma Lulu burst out laughing when she heard this.

Zhang Yuan glared at her again upon hearing the sound.

Ma Lulu shook her head, her pigtails swaying behind her: "Sorry, I'm just naturally cheerful."

"You!" Zhang Yuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, her face contorted in a particularly ugly expression.

Lu Zhuokai stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, don't make things up without evidence. Zhang Yuan, you should know better."

Warninged by the person she liked, Zhang Yuan's emotions were pushed to the limit. She stomped her foot, glanced at Lu Zhuokai hesitantly, and without thinking, wiped away her tears and ran upstairs.

"Won't something bad happen?" Ji Lin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

Lu Zhuokai quickly comforted her: "It's okay. Even if what they say is true, and Zhu Ming was murdered, everyone is here now, so she's actually safer on her own."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin indeed withdrew her gaze and stopped looking in Zhang Yuan's direction.

Jiang Liyue felt something was off. Zhang Yuan was Ji Lin's best friend, after all. How could she be so easily persuaded?

Isn't this too hasty?

As Jiang Liyue was pondering, her palm was squeezed. Turning her head, she saw Zhou Yulin looking at her with his lips pursed.

His dark pupils held a hint of obsession. He didn't speak, but Jiang Liyue seemed to understand what he meant—

Don't look at others.

When those words popped into her mind, Jiang Liyue realized what was happening.

Is it because she's been hanging out with perverts for so long that she's learned to translate on her own?

No, her new husband could never be a pervert.
