Chapter 93



Until lunch, Du Yuanzhe could still hear Chen Rongsan sighing, but in order to avoid being embarrassed in the future, he pretended to be confused.

After lunch, there was news from Jiang Chelin.

According to experts, Liu Chenglian has an extra substance in his body compared to normal people. I don’t remember what it is called. The conclusion is that Liu Chenglian’s sudden heart attack was most likely caused by human factors.”

Jiang Chelin looked unhappy and continued, "Because the newly discovered substance has never been discovered before, the doctor doesn't know how the other party induced heart disease."

Du Yuanzhe frowned. This would make it difficult to conduct a targeted investigation.

After hanging up the phone, Du Yuanzhe asked the system: "Do you know what can induce a heart attack?"

[I don't know, but I guess the luck plundering system should be learned from another world]

Beings like them have experienced many worlds and it is very likely that they have learned some advanced medical knowledge.

Du Yuanzhe once again despised the system: "Compared to the Luck Plundering System, you are too useless."

Of course, the system couldn't admit that it was waste, and said sarcastically: "I know a lot of novel inventions, but the emergence of each invention is based on knowledge. Who can you blame if you don't have this kind of knowledge accumulation?"

Du Yuanzhe choked and said, "I don't care about those inventions. Just tell me if there is any way to help me find a new host for the Luck Plundering System?"

【no】

"Then shut up."

Although he had never communicated with the Luck Plundering System, through its actions time and time again, Du Yuanzhe always felt that it was smarter than his own waste system.

【I am not waste】

I almost forgot, this guy can read his thoughts.

Du Yuanzhe had no guilt at all for speaking ill of others, and said, "Do you dare to say that the Luck Plundering System is not more flexible than you?"

[We have experienced many worlds and know a lot. We must be given restrictions so as not to cause chaos in certain worlds. You can also call us lawful ones.]

[But the Luck Plundering System is different. They only want to plunder luck and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. They don’t care what the world will become.]

Du Yuanzhe sighed: "Haven't you heard this saying? If you want to deal with bad guys, you have to be worse than them. You guys follow the rules, but they don't mind breaking them. How can you win?"

Du Yuanzhe probably understood why he lost in his previous life. On the one hand, it was due to his own fault, and on the other hand, it might also be related to the system being too rule-bound, so he gave him the right to control his own life and death.

[I will report this to my superiors after the mission is completed, but the most important thing now is to complete this mission.]

"I know. Now I can only hope Qiqi can find some clues."

......

In the afternoon, Du Yuanzhe did not receive a call from Xia Ningmi, but received a call from Liu Xu. Only then did he remember that he was going to audition for Wu Jiazhong's new movie.

Liu Xu said: "Director Wu has been casting recently. You can audition at any time. They have already sent the outline. I sent it to you on WeChat. You can take a look at it later and tell me which role you want to play. Then Director Wu will give you some plot information about that role."

Du Yuanzhe received the document: "I understand."

Wu Jiazhong's films, as always, are about patriotism. This time, it tells the story of an unsung hero who played a key role in a crucial battle and used his life to buy his side a chance to counterattack.

As expected, the protagonist must have died in the end.

This is also the characteristic of Wu Jiazhong's films. In his films, heroes are always tragic and nothing is perfect. Even if he hadn't filmed those unknown heroes, future generations would not even remember their existence.

Du Yuanzhe read the outline carefully and found out about several important roles. He then realized that he had no choice at all. Among the important roles, only the male lead was the most suitable for him. The others either did not match his image or age.

Du Yuanzhe told Liu Xu about his intention, and Liu Xu was not surprised. Du Yuanzhe had already played the male lead in a movie, so now he should focus on the male lead.

Liu Xu acted quickly, and soon got the plot introduction of the male lead from Wu Jiazhong.

Du Yuanzhe needed to outline the image of the male protagonist based on these plots. The most important thing was to figure out Wu Jiazhong's thoughts on shaping this character. Only by guessing what Wu Jiazhong wanted could he pass the audition.

Therefore, many people in the entertainment industry say that when Wu Jiazhong chooses a role, it is like looking for a confidant, and the actor has to think the same way as him.

......

It was almost evening when Du Yuanzhe received a call from Xia Ningmi.

"Zhou Chenlang?"

Du Yuanzhe heard a very unexpected name from Xia Ningmi's mouth.

Xia Ningmi's tone did not change. She said, "I checked all the people who had contact with Liu Chenglian. Zhou Chenlang is the most suspicious. He had contact with Liu Chenglian twice. Both times they met alone and deliberately avoided crowded places."

Du Yuanzhe pursed his lips: "I know."

To be honest, he never doubted Zhou Chenlang. The luck-plundering system needed the luck of the heroine. He always thought that after Wang Linxuan's lessons, it would be smarter and choose someone in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Chenlang is really not a good candidate.

Although he is a rich second-generation, his family is a furniture maker and his influence on the entertainment industry is limited. Although Jiang Chelin is his biggest backer, it is impossible for her to help him deal with Wei Lingling.

But since Xia Ningmi suspected Zhou Chenlang, it meant that he was really suspicious.

Du Yuanzhe planned to re-read the scenes about Zhou Chenlang in the novel to see if there was anything about Zhou Chenlang that was worthy of the attention of the Luck Plundering System.

"Qiqi, when will you come back?"

Of course, when Du Yuanzhe called Xia Ningmi, he was not only concerned about Liu Chenglian, he was more concerned about when Xia Ningmi would come back.

Xia Ning said: "It will probably take another week before we can return home."

"When you come back, remember to tell me and I'll pick you up at the airport."

Xia Ningmi nodded: "Okay."

The two talked on the phone for an hour until Xia Ningmi had a meeting, and then they hung up.

Du Yuanzhe glanced at Aunt Wu who was making dinner, turned around and went back upstairs to his room, then lay on the bed and read a novel in his mind.

He watched it very carefully, not wanting to miss any of Zhou Chenlang's plot, so he went downstairs to have dinner and continued watching after dinner.

Du Yuanzhe read until late at night and had only read less than half of the novel. He had no choice but to go to bed and finish reading it the next morning.

call--

“Finally finished watching it.”

Du Yuanzhe had been lying in bed for nearly a day and a night, and his body felt a little stiff, so he quickly got up and moved around.

This time he focused on Zhou Chenlang's plot. He still felt that Zhou Chenlang's role was pitifully small and the author paid too little attention to him. Du Yuanzhe felt that the author did not fully shape the character of Zhou Chenlang.

But judging from the existing plots, Zhou Chenlang is not as cheerful as he seems.

First of all, Zhou Chenlang is a person who attaches great importance to emotions, including family, friendship and love, so he has always wanted to get close to Xia Ningmi, but has never succeeded.

Secondly, Zhou Chenlang and Zhou Heng are not the same type of people, and the relationship between the father and son is not very good. Although they are not like strangers, they have not communicated much in recent years. In addition, Zhou Chenlang wants to marry You Yingxue, which makes the already bad relationship between father and son worse.

Finally, there is the matter of Zhou Chenlang’s mother, about whom the book only mentions a few words, all based on Zhou Chenlang’s impressions.

In Zhou Chenlang's heart, his mother was a very pitiful woman. If she had not met Zhou Heng, if she had not given birth to him, she would have had a better life.

But the book does not give a specific description of why Zhou Chenlang thought this way. From these aspects, Zhou Chenlang can be said to be relatively pure.

But one thing broke Du Yuanzhe's evaluation of Zhou Chenlang.

That is, Zhou Chenlang had committed suicide before.

Moreover, his self-mutilation behavior continued for several years until he was with You Yingxue, at which time he stopped this self-harming behavior.

Only You Yingxue knew about Zhou Chenlang's suicide. Zhou Heng and his friends were unaware of it.

No one would have thought that Zhou Chenlang, who looked gentle and cheerful, was actually a self-mutilating person in private.

Zhou Chenlang's suicide was only briefly mentioned in the book, but for Du Yuanzhe, it was an important reference for his analysis of Zhou Chenlang's character.

But one thing is beyond doubt, Zhou Chenlang is a meticulous and resourceful person.

After Zhou Heng died in a car accident, he took over Dingsheng Furniture Company and multiplied the company's operating profits several times in just one year. In the extra chapter of the novel, he made the company even bigger and became a new elite in Yancheng.

At that time, Zhou Chenlang was no longer the gloomy boy who committed self-mutilation.

Du Yuanzhe suddenly felt that if the Luck Plundering System really was in Zhou Chenlang's possession, it might not be a bad thing.

First of all, we can make sure that he will not harm Xia Ningmi.

Secondly, Zhou Chenlang is very smart. Such a smart person will not be manipulated by the luck plundering system, and should not do stupid things like voluntarily allowing the luck plundering system to plunder his luck.

As long as they are prevented from plundering Wei Lingling's luck, it is possible that the luck plundering system will destroy itself due to lack of luck for a long time.

Now we just need to confirm one thing - whether the Luck Plundering System is on Zhou Chenlang.

This requires knowing what Zhou Chenlang did to Liu Chenglian.

In view of the relationship between Zhou Chenlang and Jiang Chelin, Du Yuanzhe decided to go to Shenglin Hospital to ask Liu Chenglian in person.

But Liu Chenglian is still under observation in the nursing room and it will take a few days before outsiders are allowed to visit him.

Du Yuanzhe wanted to bypass Jiang Chelin, but he could not get any special privileges and could only wait patiently for a few days.

......

Three days later, Du Yuanzhe finally had the opportunity to visit Liu Chenglian.

"Director Liu, are you feeling better?"

Du Yuanzhe walked into the ward and put down what he was holding.

Liu Chenglian's face looked much better. Seeing him stunned for a moment, he said, "It's you. Old Wang always praises you to me."

Liu Chenglian and Wang Ligang are good friends.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Director Wang also mentioned Director Liu to me. He said that Director Liu is someone he admires very much."

Liu Chenglian laughed, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud because he was too nervous. He said, "It's rare that Lao Wang would praise me."

"You also know that Director Wang is just being stubborn. He actually admires you very much."

Liu Chenglian glanced at him and said, "We haven't met before. What do you want to see me about today?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "I have been investigating Zhou Chenlang recently because of some things. I heard that he had met you twice."

"Zhou Chenlang?"

Liu Chenglian thought for a while and said, "Oh, it's You Yingxue's boyfriend, right? He came to me and hoped that I could let You Yingxue audition for the female lead in my new drama. I told him that You Yingxue's image was not suitable, but he didn't give up and wanted You Yingxue to audition for other roles. We haven't discussed it yet."

Du Yuanzhe asked, "Do you remember what he did when you met, especially what he did twice?"

Liu Chenglian listened to the words and thought carefully, saying: "Every time we met, he chose the place. The two places were different, but I smelled the same incense in both places."

This is a rather strange thing, but Liu Chenglian had previously thought that Zhou Chenlang liked this kind of incense and didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, Director Liu, for helping me clear up my confusion."

Du Yuanzhe left the ward without further ado.

The scent of incense alone can induce a heart attack, and it can also break out at Qianying Entertainment’s anniversary celebration?

Du Yuanzhe thought it was not that miraculous. Someone must have done something on the anniversary day to cause Liu Chenglian to suddenly suffer a heart attack and faint on that day.

But this was just Du Yuanzhe's guess. Liu Chenglian's words could only prove Zhou Chenlang's suspicion, but he still couldn't be 100% sure it was him.

"System, do you think it was Zhou Chenlang?"

[The Luck Plundering System knows I'm here, so it shouldn't reveal the identity of its new host so easily.]

"Do you suspect Zhou Chenlang was a smoke bomb thrown by the other side?"

[It is possible]

Du Yuanzhe had a headache. This was not going to be easy.
