Lu Yongzheng called Wen Shujun and said, "We are now in this together. No one can leave the other. You and I both know that if we betray each other, we will die together."
Wen Shujun's voice was trembling with reluctance. "Lu Yongzheng, I didn't kill Lu Shuyi. It was you who killed him. It has nothing to do with me. The police investigation will eventually get to the bottom of it. When the truth comes out, I don't want to be your scapegoat."
Lu Yongzheng sneered, his tone revealing an undeniable threat: "Don't be so naive. In this circle, the truth is sometimes not important. What matters is who is in control of the situation. I have found someone to take the blame, and all the evidence will point to him. If you don't cooperate with me, the consequences will be unimaginable. Didn't you come to the store too? Can you prove that you didn't do it? Moreover, I can let everyone know that you hired a ghostwriter. Have you considered the consequences of that?"
Wen Shujun's face was distorted with anger.
"Fuck, are you sick? If you're sick, why don't you go get treatment?"
"Yeah, I think I'm sick too." Lu Yongzheng said with a smile.
Wen Shujun could imagine Lu Yongzheng's expression even through the phone.
After being together for such a long time, she had no idea that he was such a terrible person.
It was also the first time that Wen Shujun realized that Lu Yongzheng was terrifying.
He thought of a mad dog whose behavior was unpredictable.
She knew Lu Yongzheng's methods. Once he caught her, she would be finished.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Lu Yongzheng, you are threatening me. You would never treat me like this before."
"No, Wen Shujun, I'm just stating a fact."
Lu Yongzheng's voice became even colder. "In this game, there are only two kinds of people: winners and losers. I don't want both of us to be losers. Therefore, the best option is to cooperate. Also, don't play tricks on Song Linlin. Don't try to make her guess about our relationship. The group needs funds now, and we must not let it down."
Wen Shujun knew that she had no way out at this moment.

Bai Jingyao's home
He hasn't been able to contact Gu Yufei for a day and a night.
Of course, there have been cases in the past where I received a reply a day later.
But lately they have been chatting every day.
"What exactly happened?" Bai Jingyao stood in front of the window, his eyes passing through the dense city lights, his heart full of worry about Gu Yufei.
She was an adult and shouldn't disappear for no reason. This made him start to think wildly and worry that something bad might have happened.
He recalled the last time he saw Gu Yufei, the wounds on her forehead and body... The more Bai Jingyao thought about it, the more anxious he became. He decided that he could no longer sit idly by.
Picking up his phone, he tried to call Gu Yufei again, but the call could not be connected, which further strengthened his determination.
He had to go look for her himself, at least to make sure she was safe.
Bai Jingyao put on his coat and hurried out. In the darkness, he drove to places where Gu Yufei might have been, searching carefully in every place, hoping to find any trace of her.
His heart was filled with worry and uneasiness, but at the same time there was a glimmer of hope, hoping that this was just a misunderstanding and that Gu Yufei would soon appear safely. However, as time went by, this hope became increasingly slim.
"Where have you been? At least tell me you're safe!" Bai Jingyao suddenly turned the steering wheel.
He picked up the phone with a serious expression and dialed a number.
After the call was connected, he said anxiously, "No matter what, you must find Gu Yufei for me! Use both the black and white forces! I want her whereabouts, I want her whereabouts!"
The person on the other end of the phone responded respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Bai. I will immediately arrange for personnel and mobilize all resources to find Gu Yufei's whereabouts as soon as possible."
Bai Jingyao's eyes fell on the video of him and Gu Yufei practicing calligraphy in his mobile phone album.
In the video, they are smiling brightly, full of happiness and joy. At that time, they were together in the study, writing stroke by stroke, enjoying each other's company.
Why didn't you answer the phone?
I'm so worried about you.
At this moment, Bai Jingyao's cell phone rang, and he felt a surge of anticipation, thinking it was from Gu Yufei. He couldn't wait to pick up the phone, but when he saw Gan Lin's name on the screen, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.
(Bai Jingyao, after we met last time, I have been thinking about a question. If we are together, our parents will definitely be very happy. And I want to tell you that I will be very happy too.) Gan Lin thought he had sent a romantic confession message.
Bai Jingyao frowned.
For some reason, he really disliked the feeling Gan Lin gave people.
So he replied (Sorry, I don't feel the same way.)
Gan Lin sat in front of the window, looking at Bai Jingyao's indifferent reply on the phone screen, feeling full of resentment.
She bit her lip and decided to send another message to Bai Jingyao.
(Bai Jingyao, I know you may not have any feelings for me, but I really like you. I don’t want to give up just like that. Can we meet and have a good talk?) Gan Lin’s fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and her mood became more excited with each word she typed.
However, Bai Jingyao's response was still cold. (Gan Lin, I've already said it, I have no feelings for you. There's no way anything can develop between us. You should just give up.)
