Chapter 121 Why did he deliberately let the opponent win?
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yishen looked at Wei Lan and asked with some doubt.
"Take the sachet out of my pocket," Wei Lan said softly.
Gu Yishen was completely bewildered by Wei Lan, but since he had just accidentally "offended" him, Gu Yishen, despite his confusion, still did as Wei Lan instructed and took out a sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks and butterflies from his pocket.
Gu Yishen handed the sachet to Wei Lan, but Wei Lan didn't take it. Instead, she suddenly flung it away and cried out, "Oh dear, this sachet is... is..."
Gu Yishen was stunned by Wei Lan's reaction, wondering what Wei Lan was up to.
But Wei Lan's swinging motion was probably a bit too forceful. Before he could even finish speaking, he flung out half of the jade pendant-like object that was hidden in his sleeve.
Gu Yishen thought this was an accessory that Wei Lan wore to match his outfit, so he reflexively squatted down, intending to pick up the jade pendant and return it to him.
However, when Gu Yishen picked up the jade pendant, he discovered that it was not a perfectly intact decorative jade pendant, but rather one half of a Lantian jade pendant that was clearly cut in half.
No, this should be a clue hidden on the character...
So... he was dumped by Wei Lan himself?
When Wei Lan saw Gu Yishen holding the half jade pendant and looking at him at a loss, she immediately started babbling again.
"Well, Mr. Gu, you can search me all you want, but why did you have to break my things too!"
“I didn’t break it. When it fell out, it was only half a jade pendant, and there was no broken half on the ground. The cut is smooth and neat, so it’s obvious that it was deliberately split in two.”
Gu Yishen instinctively explained, and also shared his own analysis.
Wei Lan's expression visibly showed a moment of panic, and then, as if deliberately acting like a rogue, he rolled up his sleeves and stomped his feet, demanding an explanation from Gu Yishen.
Wei Lan exaggeratedly waved his arm at Gu Yishen, and Gu Yishen immediately noticed a very obvious scar on "Young Master Wei's" arm, which looked like a new scar that had just appeared today.
Gu Yishen grabbed Wei Lan's arm. Wei Lan didn't struggle at all when Gu Yishen suddenly grabbed her arm. Instead, she seemed to be cooperating. She even turned her arm to make it easier for Gu Yishen to observe the wound.
The wounds on "Young Master Wei's" arm were still faintly discernible, indicating they were inflicted by a dagger.
Wei Lan looked at Gu Yishen's reaction and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Gu Yishen had been wondering why Wei Lan was acting so strangely today, but after discovering a series of clues about "Young Master Wei," Gu Yishen realized...
It seems like Wei Lan is deliberately going easy on him!
She secretly lets herself take the sachet, and while explaining, she flicks her sleeve, causing half of the jade pendant to fall out. She pretends to be angry and deliberately shows the scar on her arm...
Gu Yishen noticed that every movement Wei Lan made in front of him seemed to be perfectly executed.
Did this kid just stomp his foot?
Thinking of this, Gu Yishen involuntarily lowered his head.
Sure enough, the mud that "Young Master Wei" had just stomped on and that had fallen from the sole of his shoe was the same as the mud on the sole of the second deceased, Ren Ning'er's shoe...
What's so special about that?
Did Wei Lan deliberately create a weakness for himself?
Gu Yishen looked at Wei Lan, this "Young Master Wei," and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
He looked at Wei Lan with a complicated expression, but Wei Lan's expression was also a little stiff, as if she was a little embarrassed, and also a little... shy?
“You…” Gu Yishen always felt that someone who was being overly solicitous was either up to no good or had ulterior motives.
But since the other party had already betrayed him, Gu Yishen felt embarrassed to keep pretending to be stupid, so he had to ask them a few questions.
When Wei Lan saw that Gu Yishen was so "cooperative", she immediately became overjoyed.
He first glanced around cautiously to make sure no other guests were paying attention to them, then leaned close to Gu Yishen and whispered a question in his ear.
"Brother Shen, is it true that you and Luo Jia have something going on?"
"..."
Upon hearing Wei Lan's question, Gu Yishen's lips twitched twice, and he immediately froze on the spot.
What the hell is this?! What the hell is this?!
Is it true that "he had an affair with Luo Jia"? Is the rumor that Gu Yishen is gay really that credible?
Gu Yishen silently complained in his heart for a while, then looked at Wei Lan and suddenly had a mischievous idea.
"You really want to know?" Gu Yishen leaned closer to Wei Lan, squinted his eyes, and said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan thought, "This is promising!" She nodded happily and looked at Gu Yishen with anticipation.
Gu Yishen, "living up to expectations," solemnly said:
"We really do have something going on. I'm head over heels in love with Luo Jia, and it's something I can't help..."
Upon hearing Gu Yishen's words, Wei Lan immediately became interested in asking for more details.
Without discussing the details, Gu Yishen seemed to be deliberately keeping him in suspense, saying, "I'll talk to you about the details another time."
Then he looked at Luo Jiayin and found that she had finished searching and had a satisfied expression on her face, while Ren Haoyu's expression was not so good.
Gu Yishen smiled.
I guess Luo Jia found out all the clues on "Brother Ren".
Both groups of people had finished searching them, and the four of them dispersed to continue searching for clues within the scene.
Wei Lan thought he was being careful and secretly communicating with Gu Yishen behind everyone's back, but he forgot that he had a miniature microphone clipped to his collar, which he had specially made so that the viewers in the live broadcast room could clearly hear each guest speaking.
So, although the guests and staff at the scene couldn't hear their conversation, the viewers watching the live stream heard it all clearly.
Gu Yishen was probably a bit confused by Wei Lan, and for a moment he forgot about this matter.
[Holy crap! Did you guys hear that? What did Actor Gu just say? Did he say he had feelings for Luo Jia...?]
[A deep, unrequited love! But it was beyond my control!!]
【Oh my god, does this count as an official announcement??】
No wonder Gu Yishen always seemed to be following Luo Jia around on these shows; I thought it was just my imagination...
[I told you so! Look at Shen Ge these past few times, he's been acting like 'Nobody can take him away from me,' it turns out all those rumors circulating online were true!!]
[Ahhh, my favorite couple is definitely a good match! Gu Yishen and Luo Jia are so great, they really didn't disappoint us CP fans!]
