Chapter 229 Life Will Pass Soon
Knowing Zhu Jixun's identity, Chen Lin now had to flatter and curry favor with him. Even though he was punched in the face several times, and both sides of his face swelled up rapidly, looking more like a honey puppy than Zhu Jixun, Chen Lin did not dare to attack him again. He waited for the other party to vent his anger and stop.
"Tsk, Boiled Chicken, just wait for my dad to withdraw his investment!" Zhu Jixun let the man go while panting, and directly delivered a piece of bad news.
Anyway, Jiang Ning has revealed his identity, so it’s better to be frank.
What's more, his father had said at home that the current Chen family is a piece of fat meat. Their family is not interested in it, but there are many people who want to eat this piece of fat meat, so their family should not get involved in this mess.
Chen Lin didn't know that his family was now being avoided by all parties. When he heard Zhu Jixun's words, he just thought that the young master was angry outside and wanted to show his temper and ask his family to withdraw the investment.
He clenched his fists and endured it, saying it with an air of enduring humiliation.
"I apologize to you. I didn't handle my emotions well just now, but this is just a misunderstanding between us. There's no need to involve my family."
The Chen family was in a bad situation. After Chen's father went to jail, because he had left the capable people to the illegitimate son, Chen Lin was under attack from all sides in the company. On the one hand, he had to deal with the shareholders who wanted to pull him down, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the illegitimate son who wanted to take the position. He was busy all the time but did not get any practical benefits, and his position was still unstable.
Zhu is the partner that Chen Lin wants to bring over the most. Zhu is the company's largest investor. As long as he can get Zhu to support him, there will be no need for an illegitimate child.
So just to squeeze out that damn illegitimate child, no matter how aggrieved and dissatisfied Chen Lin was, he had to lower his head and wait until this hurdle was over.
But it was obvious that Zhu Jixun did not want to accept his humiliating apology at all.
"If you don't want to apologize, then don't say it. I didn't force you to do it. Who are you trying to show off to?"
"Besides, you've already fought. Instead of thinking about asking my dad to withdraw his investment, you might as well look for other partners. If someone just likes unsuitable men, Mr. Chen will get a great bargain."
Zhu Jixun really couldn't stand people like Chen Lin who only knew how to act violently and aggressively outside. He was already a man who was about to fall, but he still maintained the temper of a young master, as if he was afraid that his enemies were not enough and he wanted to find a few more. He was not as sensible as his cousin who was in kindergarten.
At least no matter how much his sister pulled his ears, bit him, tugged at his hair, or asked him for gifts, she would smile sweetly and even massage his legs.
Someone like Chen Lin is really no match for his cousin.
Zhu Jixun's words hit Chen Lin's sore spot, which was like stomping on his wounds a few more times, made Chen Lin so angry that he wanted to bite his teeth to pieces.
But he had to win the support of the Zhu family. No matter how much Chen Lin wanted to beat up Zhu Jixun, the boss's most favored youngest son, he couldn't even say a harsh word at this time.
Looking at Chen Lin's face turning blue from holding his breath, Zhu Jixun snorted complacently, walked over and threw Chen Lin's suitcase out, then raised his eyebrows at Qi Tao.
"Why are you still standing? Didn't Mr. Chen say he wanted to sleep alone? Give him a room and move his luggage over."
Qi Tao glanced at Chen Lin, who had been pulling so hard just now and now was throwing the suitcase out but was just trying to pick it up with a sullen face. He gave Zhu Jixun a thumbs up and spoke silently.
Awesome, brother!
After this little episode, everyone was able to barely allocate rooms, and after having a simple meal, they began to act out the script to solve the case and find the real culprit.
The script given to them by the program team was about a large family living in this house, who all died mysteriously one after another.
In order to help the audience better understand the story, the guests also performed a lottery show.
Jiang Ning drew the second young lady, and Lin Mian drew the old lady.
The most fitting character Chen Lin drew was the eunuch who came to visit relatives at the house.
Yes, you heard it right, it’s a eunuch.
When Chen Lin drew this role, he wanted to crumple up the note and stuff it into his mouth to eat it. However, Zhu Jixun saw his sour face and touched the wound at the corner of his mouth that was still throbbing. He was not going to watch him make fun of himself. Instead, he snatched the note away and showed it to the guests.
"Eunuch!" Zhu Jixun was also stunned. He had thought that this role was not good, but he had never thought that such a coincidence would happen.
"It's quite suitable. Only Chen Lin can understand the real emotions of this role." Zhu Jixun returned the note to Chen Lin and felt like patting him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Well, this is just a coincidence of a role, purely a coincidence!" Qi Tao livened up the atmosphere.
[Yes, it's just a coincidence, and in fact, this life will pass quickly.]
Meng Ying held Yu Lei's hand and felt that life passed very quickly, but for Chen Lin, this scene was probably like a year.
For Chen Lin, today was indeed a long day, especially since he had to put on the costume for the role. He wore the eunuch's clothes and put on feminine makeup. The violent aura scared the makeup artist so much that she almost ran away. It was only after the director tripled her salary that she stayed there with her legs shaking like sieves.
The guests will perform the scene of the first death in the house.
After everyone took their seats, Lin Mian, who played the old lady, led everyone to welcome the eunuch Chen Lin who had returned from the palace and was highly valued.
Chen Lin came with an oral order, to take the eldest daughter, the character played by Meng Ying, into the palace to be a noble lady.
Then the whole house celebrated this glorious event and also held a welcome party for eunuch Chen Lin.
At this banquet, the eldest daughter was found hanged in her boudoir by her maid Yu Lei after she went to change her clothes. Starting from the eldest daughter, a series of accidents happened in the house, and in the end no one was spared and all died.
After performing this plot, the guests quickly helped Meng Ying down from the stool and sat together to discuss who the real murderer was.
First, it is time for personal statement.
"When the eldest lady hanged herself, I went out to gamble. Qi Tao can testify for me." Zhu Jixun said, pointing to Qi Tao next to him.
Qi Tao nodded and took out a purse from the wide sleeve of his ancient costume.
"This is what we're betting on tonight."
The two testified against each other and were temporarily cleared of suspicion.
Yu Lei: "I went to bring water to the young lady to wash her hands, and when I came back I found that she had hanged herself."
She is the first eyewitness and is currently the most likely suspect.
"I was eating at the banquet and didn't have time to commit the crime." Jiang Ning spread his hands.
Lin Mian said the same thing, "I am the most important master in the house. I have to take care of Eunuch Chen. I don't have time, and there is no reason to kill the eldest lady who wants to win glory for the family."
The last person mentioned is Chen Lin.
When Chen Lin heard Lin Mian call him "Eunuch Chen", his blood pressure rose rapidly. However, he did not want to make a fool of himself in front of the guests and the audience, so he suppressed his anger and began to speak.
"I am the host of the banquet, and I am the one who has to bring the young lady to the palace. If I don't take her away, I will also be punished. I will not do something that will harm others and not benefit myself."
