Lin Yusheng hadn't forgotten how, when she confronted Lu Zechuan and Xie Yuqiong at the Lu residence, the people around Lu Jing remained indifferent.
Even if it wasn't Lu Jing's order, she dared not take any more risks.
Lu Jing said, "If you're afraid that Grandpa will harm you, Grandpa can arrange a place outside where I can have a good talk with you about A-Ye."
“Ah Ye is doing well. Once this matter receives a fair judgment, he will be completely free. We will definitely go back to see you as soon as possible.”
Lin Yusheng remained steadfast in her decision. She couldn't help Lu Zhengye in any way, but she would never cause him any trouble.
Lu Jing then gave up, "Alright then, remember to come back to see Grandpa with A Ye."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yusheng told Lu Zhengye about it.
Lu Zhengye said she did the right thing; Lu Jing's thoughts were the hardest to fathom in the entire Lu family.
It's true that he treats Lu Zhengye well, but when it comes to the Lu family's reputation and interests, Lu Jing is very likely to put the greater good before family.
*
The day before the court hearing.
Lin Yusheng received a call from Wen Nian.
Wen Nian asked, "Aren't you bored at home?"
"Not boring."
Wen Nian said, "...Come to my house, I'll show you how to play games."
"Forget it."
"What are you afraid of? With me here, how could anyone hurt you?"
Lin Yusheng hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid of causing trouble for your brother, so forget it."
Wen Nian laughed, "You coward, I'll take responsibility for you, come on."
"I advise you to watch your words. I'll be your sister-in-law from now on."
“Anyway, it’s not like that now,” Wen Nian said irritably.
Lin Yusheng choked.
Wen Nian said over there, "You promised to show me around Lucheng, but because of your status as a big star, it's probably unlikely that you'll be able to keep that promise. Now, I'm asking you to come over and play a game with me, and you're making excuses."
"Tell me, didn't you pretend to be a good person in front of my brother and try to fool me?"
...
Lin Yusheng had no choice but to agree in the end.
She sent Lu Zhengye a message, then went out with several bodyguards.
The place where Wen Nian lives was bought for him by Lu Zhengye; it's in a villa area.
When Lin Yusheng arrived, Wen Nian came out to open the door for her.
As soon as Lin Yusheng entered, she smelled a faint fragrance.
She already knew that Wen Nian used scent to aid in hypnosis, so alarm bells went off in her head, and she covered her mouth and nose, asking, "What is this scent?"
Her overreaction aroused Wen Nian's suspicion, and he narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly.
"Isn't it normal to spray some mosquito repellent perfume at home?"
Lin Yusheng realized that she had overreacted under his questioning gaze.
She awkwardly lowered her hand and said, "It's nothing, I just can't stand the smell."
Wen Nian: "Then I'll open the window to let the smell dissipate."
"good."
Lin Yusheng silently breathed a sigh of relief; she was truly afraid of Wen Nian.
Although the two have gotten along well since the last birthday party, Lin Yusheng is still wary of his hypnotic skills.
Lin Yusheng followed Wen Nian to sit down on the sofa.
Wen Nian went to open the window, and as he passed the incense burner, he only thought for a moment before adding another fragrance.
Lin Yusheng, who was studying the game console, was completely unaware.
Lin Yusheng asked, "What game should we play? I haven't played in a long time, I don't know if I still have the feel for it."
"Just pick one, all the games I have here are really fun."
"OK."
Lin Yusheng randomly picked one that she had played before.
During the game, Lin Yusheng noticed that Wen Nian seemed a little distracted.
She kept yawning, perhaps because she hadn't slept well the night before.
Wen Nian smiled and leaned closer, asking, "Are you sleepy?"
"A little." Lin Yusheng shook her head, trying to clear her head, but her head was getting dizzier and dizzier.
Wen Nian chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Lin Yusheng's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and stared directly at Wen Nian, asking, "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted you to sleep so you could chat with me in your dreams."
"You...you want to hypnotize me?" Lin Yusheng asked incredulously.
After spending this time together, she thought Wen Nian had completely let down his guard against her, but she never expected that he would be waiting for her here.
Wen Nian smiled smugly, "Don't worry, my hypnosis won't harm your body, it's just chatting. If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Yusheng was startled by Wen Nian's idea, but what he said made no sense.
She forced herself to calm down, pinching her thigh to stay awake, and said coldly, "I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my body."
"I won't kill you, I just have a few questions that I need you to answer."
Lin Yusheng easily guessed his thoughts, "My affairs with Aye are none of your business."
Wen Nian suppressed his smile. "But my brother's affairs are my affairs. I will not let anyone who tries to hurt him or intends to hurt him get away with it."
Lin Yusheng had nothing to say.
Wen Nian took out a blue pocket watch from somewhere and placed it in front of Lin Yusheng, shaking it from side to side.
Lin Yusheng closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and dug her nails into her palms, using the pain to keep herself awake.
She could resist the hypnotic power of the pocket watch, but not the allure of the incense, and eventually lost consciousness.
Wen Nian was also surprised that Lin Yusheng, with Xiang's help, managed to hold on for almost ten minutes before losing consciousness.
But the more she acted this way, the more Wen Nian felt that she had something to hide.
Lin Yusheng had a very, very long dream.
She had no idea what would happen soon.
...
Wen Nian asked Lin Yusheng a total of several questions.
"Lin Yusheng, why did you approach Lu Zhengye in the first place?"
"Because... I need his power."
"Power? What power could he possibly have as an illegitimate child?"
Lin Yusheng paused for a moment and didn't answer for a long time. Wen Nian thought she was about to wake up.
She said, "Just because it didn't happen then doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."
Wen Nian's expression changed drastically; he had already vaguely sensed a conspiracy.
How do you know it will happen in the future?
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Wen Nian suddenly grabbed Lin Yusheng's neck.
What did you see?
“I saw him become the head of the Lu family and one of the most important figures in Lucheng. I knelt before him and begged him to forgive me and help me.”
Wen Nianqi said, "What exactly are you talking about?"
Lin Yusheng did not answer.
She was in a state of weakened consciousness and could not answer any questions that required subjective responses.
Wen Nian felt that Lin Yusheng's words could not be understood using common sense.
He rephrased his question, "What do you need power for?"
"Protect my family."
"Why?"
“Because they will all die in the future and leave me.” Lin Yusheng was in great pain, and tears streamed down her face.
Wen Nian slowly released his hand from her neck. "How did you know?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Lin Yusheng clutched her chest, in great pain.
