Chapter 32 The Power of the Movie Emperor
"At noon today, the shop assistant delivered the wine that was prepared to celebrate the birthday of the Wei family patriarch. After I finished getting ready, I arrived at the Wei residence at about three o'clock in the afternoon. I saw Young Master Wei in the front hall."
"After that, I stayed in the living room and chatted with the guests around me."
"Later, I also felt that sitting in the living room was a bit boring, so I thought I would go out for a walk in the garden. At about 4:40, I passed by the backyard and saw Young Master Luo unconscious."
"Young Master Luo was slowly waking up. He seemed to be in a bad state and didn't seem to remember what had happened to make him collapse here."
"I asked a few questions, and Young Master Luo said he was fine. I saw that Young Master Luo was not injured, so I didn't ask any more questions."
"Young Master Luo said he had other things to attend to, thanked me, and left."
"I figured it was about time, and I was getting a little tired from walking around, so I went back to the lobby to talk to everyone."
"Later, around 5:20, I remembered that I had something to do at the winery. I asked someone to pass on a message to the head of the Wei family later, and then I prepared to leave."
"Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard someone say that something had happened to the head of the Wei family, and then the steward called us all here."
After Lin Manxi finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Luo Jiayin frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.
It's no wonder the guests were speechless; it was just...
In Lin Manxi's alibi, apart from a few symbolic timelines, there are very few usable clues.
Based on Lin Manyi's schedule and time, Luo Jiayin silently drew a ruler in her mind.
Hmm... Sure enough, it's obvious that this character was "inserted" into the story, and there's an inexplicable sense of abruptness in the overall plot, as if he appeared just for the sake of appearing.
Luo Jiayin discreetly observed the reactions of the other guests.
Sure enough, several guests looked like they were deep in thought.
The facilitator asked Lin Manxi to return to her seat and invited the next guest to speak.
Luo Jiayin wanted to be on high alert because, given Gu Yishen's status, the production team would most likely assign him a relatively important role, so there should be plenty of clues to be found from him.
But then I thought, Gu Yishen and another guest have switched roles, so it's hard to say that the role he's now given isn't some marginal character.
Luo Jiayin hesitated. She wanted to carefully review her storyline, but she was afraid of missing some important clues due to a lack of focus.
After Gu Yishen finished explaining his alibi, it was his turn.
It's her first time participating in a program, so it's better to be more cautious.
Thinking this way, Luo Jiayin calmed herself down and listened carefully to Gu Yishen's speech.
In murder mystery games, even the most marginalized characters have their own role to play.
Most creators wouldn't actually write a character who appears at the scene of an event and has absolutely no meaning.
Luo Jiayin composed herself and turned her gaze to Gu Yishen beside her.
Gu Yishen stood up, and the words "amazingly handsome" appeared again in the comments.
Praise and compliments poured in, but these kinds of small scenes are nothing new.
After all, that's Gu Yishen, the "nation's husband"...
Ah~~ My husband looks so handsome today!
[Watch your mouth, upstairs, or Gu Yishen will have to explain himself to me for ages when he gets home.]
[That girl above is really tough, isn't she afraid of getting beaten up, hahaha.]
[Regardless of husband or wife, Gu Yishen is mine.]
[Shen Ge looks so ethereal in his white robes today!!! I actually think he and Lin Manxi look somewhat compatible...]
[Shut upstairs! Throw him out and beat him with sticks!!]
[Please stop stirring up trouble! All you weird shipper fans, get out of here!]
In the studio, Gu Yishen stepped forward and slowly began to speak.
"I am Guard Gu. I usually stay in the Wei residence to look after the mansion. When the head of the family goes out, I will also serve by his side and be responsible for the personal safety of the Wei family head."
“I wasn’t originally a child from an ordinary farming family in a small border town. When I was young, my parents died in a famine, leaving me all alone.”
"I fled and wandered all the way to Qiancheng. By chance, I saved Young Master Wei under a speeding carriage, and my leg... was left with a lifelong disability as a result."
"The head of the Wei family was grateful that I had saved Young Master Wei and was seriously injured, so he kindly took me in and made me Young Master Wei's page. From then on, I lived a peaceful life."
Gu Yishen lowered his eyes, and a subtle yet easily noticeable sadness flashed in his gaze.
The viewers in front of the screen were heartbroken when they saw this scene.
Can't you just give my beloved actor Gu a good role?! He's always stuck with those tragic characters!
[My heart aches so much, I just want to hug you tightly!!]
[Production team, please have some decency and treat Gu Yishen a little better!!]
Luo Jiayin remained noncommittal upon seeing Gu Yishen's reaction.
She had to admit that Gu Yishen's understanding and skill in acting were absolutely at the "ceiling" level.
Luo Jiayin had read quite a few of Gu Yishen's works.
He's like someone who's naturally gifted; he can play any role convincingly, and no matter what character he portrays, you'll never feel out of place while watching him.
Gu Yishen's strength is indeed beyond doubt.
Luo Jiayin even envied Gu Yishen a little, after all, when she first entered the entertainment industry, her original intention was to become an excellent actress, not just a popular idol.
Actually, Gu Yishen... is her ideal...
Luo Jiayin pursed her lips, and when she looked at Gu Yishen again, there seemed to be a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Gu Yishen happened to glance in Luo Jiayin's direction at that moment.
As their eyes met, Gu Yishen keenly caught a glimpse of an unusual emotion in Luo Jiayin's eyes.
Gu Yishen was stunned for a second.
However, Gu Yishen quickly regained his composure and continued telling his story.
"After settling down at the Wei residence, the head of the Wei family and the young master treated me very well in the days that followed. They even let me practice martial arts with the people in the residence to strengthen my body."
"Unfortunately, I'm too stupid, mediocre, and my legs..."
"So my martial arts skills are actually not very high. Fortunately, I have read a lot of books with Young Master Wei, and I have always liked to tinker with flowers and plants. So I took a different approach and put some effort into refining pills, and I have achieved some success."
