"Oh? Han Mingyi is just an entertainer in the entertainment industry. She's not as popular as she used to be."
"Her status is incomparable to yours now."
Lu Shen slowly approached Li Anran and leaned down to ask.
"So, she's capable of making you obey her orders?" He looked at Li Anran calmly.
He wanted to see how Li Anran planned to extricate himself from the situation this time.
At this moment, Li Anran was very glad that she had found a helper when she was planning this.
After the incident, they were still able to pin the blame on Han Mingyi.
Han Mingyi was like a lifeline to her.
"She deliberately encouraged me and lied to me."
"I just didn't realize that I fell for her trick."
Han Mingyi, if I manage to get through this difficult time, I'll have to thank you.
"Really? Well, that makes me a little curious."
"Since you were instigated by her, then the kidnappers and assassins should have been hired by her."
Why do all the results of my interrogation point to you?
His voice was light and airy, as if it had a bewitching effect, forcing Li Anran to be on full alert.
Her scalp began to tingle, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"I······"
How is she going to explain this to Lu Shen?
Should we really tell Lu Shen about the assassin's origins?
"You're not going to go on to say that the assassin and Han Mingyi were in cahoots, are you?" Lu Shen continued to ask.
"I shot the assassin dead. He's still lying in the woods. Even if he has questions to ask, he won't have the chance to answer them."
"There's also Han Mingyi. Do you want me to invite her over for a face-to-face confrontation?"
Li Anran waved her hands repeatedly, on the verge of tears.
Does Lu Shen have mind-reading abilities? Such accurate predictions have completely blocked her path.
What other excuse could she possibly come up with?
However, one thing she was clear about was that she absolutely could not let Lu Shen bring Han Mingyi with him.
At that time, their cooperation was only based on mutual interests, and there was no strong emotional bond between them.
If anything happens, Han Mingyi will definitely be the first to step forward and help her.
Then Lu Shen will know everything, right?
"What are you afraid of? Are you worried that someone will come to the Lu family to take revenge on you?"
Li Anran's expression changed slightly.
She almost thought that Lu Shen even knew about the boss's affairs.
Her voice trembled as she said, "Ah Shen, what are you talking about? How could anyone dare to cause trouble at the Lu family's house?"
"If no one is deliberately seeking revenge or instigating it, just a few words from Han Mingyi could make you cooperate with her to take Jian Ruoxi's life."
"Li Anran, do you even believe what you're saying?"
He spoke calmly, but that was enough to terrify Li Anran.
No, that's not how it is.
Her mind raced, trying to come up with a way to defend herself.
What can she say to make Lu Shen believe her again?
"I'm just so jealous of Ruoxi. She's divorced from you, but she's still living with you. Just thinking about it makes me..."
She was telling the truth.
This was also one of the reasons that drove him to want to get rid of Jian Ruoxi.
"Can jealousy really make you destroy someone's life?"
Lu Shen didn't look at her anymore, but turned his head and looked into the distance.
“I remember, when I first met you, it wasn’t like this.”
At first, she was his first love.
At that time, Li Anran was so beautiful and pure in his eyes.
He kept her in his heart for many years, to the point that he neglected Ruoxi.
But it wasn't until later that he slowly realized that sometimes it wasn't just now that he noticed Li Anran's changes.
Rather, she was always that kind of malicious person, and everything she had shown before was just a disguise.
"Ah Shen, let me explain." Li Anran hurriedly took Lu Shen's hand.
"I love you so much. What if Jian Ruoxi wants to stay in your private villa and doesn't want to leave?"
"Or perhaps she has other feelings for you, and who knows what kind of trouble she might cause."
Lu Shen said calmly, "I've made it very clear before that she just rented my villa and is staying there temporarily."
He actually hoped that Ruoxi had other feelings for him.
"Ah Shen, it's all my fault."
"I promise you, I will never do such a thing again."
Lu Shen was not moved in the slightest by her promise. He looked at Li Anran for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Even if Han Mingyi found both the assassin and the kidnapper this time."
"But I was really surprised that you could have such a working relationship with her."
"Li Anran, to be honest, I'm starting to have some doubts about why you've come back to me again."
"Is it from the heart, or is it being manipulated?"
After saying that, Lu Shen strode away without even glancing at Li Anran behind him.
Li Anran could barely stand and had to hold onto the sofa to maintain her balance.
Could it be that I acted too impulsively this time, causing Lu Shen to become suspicious of me?
What should we do now?
What if Lu Shen finds out that he's working for the boss?
Not only Lu Shen, but even the boss won't let him off easily.
No, she can't just sit here and wait to die.
We still need to ask the boss what the next step should be.
Lu Shen walked out of the Lu family home, where A-Jie was already waiting.
"Young Master, what was Li Anran's reaction?"
If the situation hadn't been unusual, he really wanted to see Li Anran's reaction to being frightened.
He wanted to give the young mistress a proper talk when he got back.
"It was just a light trick, but Li Anran panicked like that."
"Is the person behind this blind?"
"I wonder if Brother Pai's brain can keep up with all of this."
Ah Jie couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
He admitted that Li Anran was a bit slow on the uptake.
But even if the person behind it were to send someone with a good brain, they would only make numerous mistakes in front of the young master.
"Have someone keep a close eye on her."
He wanted to see who was in contact with Li Anran.
"Come back and report to me after you find the person. Don't alert them."
This was Ruoxi's idea to print out the person behind the scenes, and he didn't want to mess it up like this.
"Don't worry, young master, we will keep an eye on Li Anran."
"Should we inform the old lady?"
Li Anran has ulterior motives. If she is allowed to continue staying by the old lady's side, will the old lady also be in danger?
"No need. Li Anran still needs her grandmother to continue living in the Lu family. She will not touch her grandmother no matter what."
In her grandmother's eyes, Li Anran was the perfect granddaughter-in-law.
Even if he personally told his grandmother about Li Anran's faults, she might not believe him.
He was too lazy to explain to his grandmother.
Anyway, time will tell. Grandma will find out what kind of person Li Anran really is one day.
