Chapter 74
Yan Yunzhen glanced at Lu Zixi beside him, took a deep breath, and asked, "What exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
"Do you still remember that when Mr. Lu was live streaming, one of your posters was discovered by fans?" Song Yang did not directly tell the result, but mentioned an incident that happened a long time ago.
"I remember. It was the poster that the magazine gave me when I was eighteen and on the cover of Arora." Yan Yunzhen recalled for a moment and continued, "Any questions?"
"That poster has creases on it. That's because it was folded before, and inside it there used to be..." Song Yang paused before continuing, "a bill that shouldn't have been there."
Because the car was very quiet and Lu Zixi and Yan Yunzhen were very close, he could vaguely hear what Song Yang was saying, but when faced with Yan Yunzhen's inquiring gaze, he could only shake his head blankly.
Notes? What are they?
He has no impression at all.
He didn't even know that there was something stuck in the poster because he wasn't interested - after all, he had seen it so many times in real life. Even if he was interested in Yan Yunzhen's looks, he wouldn't be like the original owner, who would just hold the poster and look at it when he had nothing to do. If he had the free time, he might as well turn around and kiss Yan Yunzhen directly.
"That receipt is evidence of collusion between Changxing, Mr. Lu's original company, and Liu Qingming, the real estate agent who had previously coerced him," Song Yang said gravely. "We all know that the bank card used to transfer money to the suspect was held by Chang Yi. But if the buyer truly wanted to conceal his identity, why didn't he choose to pay in cash, compared to bank card transfers, where the source is easily traceable? So, while the police were skeptical about the buyer's true identity, they still detained Chang Yi and launched an investigation."
"Finally, after combining the results of multiple investigations, the police discovered an improper relationship between Chang Yi and Liu Qingming, and ultimately determined that the card was used by Liu Qingming specifically to transfer money to Chang Yi. They then began to suspect that Chang Xing or Liu Qingming was the culprit behind the murder," Song Yang said. "The police then launched an investigation into both of them. The current investigation results have basically confirmed that the assassination of Mr. Lu was the result of a negotiation between the two. The progress in solving the case can be said to be swift and smooth, almost unbelievable."
"Is this type of attempted murder case really that easy to solve?" Yan Yunzhen pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I also feel like it went a little too smoothly. It's like someone is guiding the police investigation. I'm even beginning to wonder if there's someone else behind Liu Qingming."
"I suspected this too, but the latest news is that due to irrefutable evidence and under great pressure, Liu Qingming has confessed to everything." Song Yang hesitated, "He said that when he was trying to get close to him, he and the magazine gave the poster to Mr. Lu as a gift to please him... At that time, Mr. Lu didn't know his hidden thoughts and seemed very happy, so he accepted it. For a long time after that, he didn't notice anything unusual about the gift. Until recently, he received an anonymous email saying that the bill was with Mr. Lu, and attached a picture as proof. In the picture, the bill was placed on the desk with the poster. Liu Qingming realized that the bill was missing. He couldn't believe that such an important bill would appear in such a poster. However, after watching the live broadcast, he found that the desk, background, and other things were exactly the same as those in the house rented by Mr. Lu. Liu Qingming was anxious. It happened that after Mr. Lu moved out, he had not yet moved all his belongings in, nor had he canceled the lease. He sent someone to contact the landlord and retrieved the bill, but at this time, Mr. Lu had just signed the contract with Yuanhong. Someone told him that Mr. Lu had told Yuanhong that he had explosive news to expose, and that was why he was signed, and Yuanhong was still unaware of it. So Liu Qingming and Changxing became murderous and made what they thought was a flawless plan, and dared to take the risk. However, they did not expect that it would be discovered by the police so quickly. This is all I know now. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask again.
"This doesn't make sense." Yan Yunzhen pointed out the fallacy. "Does Yuanhong need the information he and Changxing have? The only one in the industry who can directly compete with Yuanhong is..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something.
Only Tianhan can be regarded as Yuanhong's number one rival. Changxing and Liu Qingming are just small shrimps in the entertainment industry. But don't forget that Changxing is not an independent small company. According to the results of previous investigations, it may very well be a chess piece of Tianhan, the kind that can be pushed out at the critical moment and sacrificed to save the king. So, that bill may not be as simple as Liu Qingming said. It may contain the secrets of Tianhan.
If that's the case, then there's a big problem...
Yan Yunzhen looked at Lu Zixi who was confused beside him, sighed, and rubbed his head.
"You really can't remember it?" Yan Yunzhen asked, "You have no impression of it?"
"I promise not to." Lu Zixi looked into Yan Yunzhen's eyes and called his full name seriously, "Yan Yunzhen, there's no need for me to lie to you."
"I know that." Yan Yunzhen put his arm around his shoulders and patted his arm soothingly. "I don't believe anyone, but I believe you."
You are the one who will grow old with me, he thought.
"This matter is really too complicated." Song Yang also had a headache. "But at least now we know some of the surface, so it's not a complete loss. Those who participated in illegal activities can be severely punished, which is also a good thing."
"Yes. Also, we need to be more vigilant against Tianhan in the future." Yan Yunzhen frowned and said, "I always feel that they are not innocent."
"It's really a complicated situation." Song Yang sighed and asked the most crucial question of this conversation, "So, are these things public?"
Yan Yunzhen hesitated for a moment.
He didn't want Lu Zixi to be caught up in too much negative public opinion. Being murdered was never a good thing at any time. Moreover, it was during the movie promotion period, and it would be even worse if it was regarded as hype.
"Openly." Lu Zixi spoke without hesitation, "Why can't I speak out if I've been wronged? It's not my fault. I should let public opinion judge those people."
"Then you will be judged along with me." Yan Yunzhen pinched his nose. "Being involved in such a mess and being talked about every day, won't my little lamb be unhappy?"
"What's the big deal? Let them talk all they want. I just ignore them anyway," Lu Zixi buried his head in Yan Yunzhen's arms and said confidently, "I won't listen to that nonsense."
Yan Yunzhen was amused by him, and twirled his fingers around his hair, feeling that all his emotions were about to turn into tenderness around his fingers.
His lamb is so nice.
"Okay, I'll notify the public relations department promptly and try to minimize the negative impact on Mr. Lu," Song Yang said. "I wish you and Mr. Lu a Merry Christmas in advance."
"Thank you." Yan Yunzhen seemed to be on the phone, but his eyes were always on Lu Zixi. "Merry Christmas."
Whenever Lu Zixi heard the word "Christmas", she would get angry like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She would immediately break free from his arms, reach out to push Yan Yunzhen's head away, and bury her face in the pillow.
"You won't let me see you?" Yan Yunzhen hung up the phone and pulled the pillow out of his arms. "Then how can I eat the lamb?"
"Turn off the lights and eat." Lu Zixi said quickly, "For the first time, you are not allowed to waste time."
"So what you mean is, there will be many more times in the future?" Yan Yunzhen pinched his earlobe and laughed, "What do you mean by being naughty? Does turning off the lights not count as being naughty? Then does bullying a lamb count as being naughty? Does making the lamb cry count as being naughty? Hmm?"
Lu Zixi felt that he would never be able to defeat Yan Yunzhen with his words, so he could only rely on force to solve the problem, so he threw a pillow at him.
However, his wrist was held by someone. Yan Yunzhen calmly and calmly turned him around so that he lay obediently on his legs. He even had the time to plant a kiss on his lips.
...Forget it, in terms of hooliganism, the two of them are probably between bronze and platinum in rank.

When we returned to the island, it was already Christmas Eve.
Lu Zixi had never spent Christmas abroad. He looked at the newly decorated sea view room with curiosity like a child. Yan Yunzhen followed him and watched him visit every corner of the house.
It’s not a bad idea to go shopping in advance. You have to try it all anyway, and you can let him pick a place he likes first.
Yan Yunzhen thought.
Lu Zixi, who knew nothing about this, even reached out and touched the trunk of the Christmas tree. After discovering that it was a real tree, he reached out and weighed the gift boxes and found that they were also real. He turned around and asked Yan Yunzhen, "What's in the box?"
"A little surprise." Yan Yunzhen coughed lightly, "Anyway... you'll know when the time comes. This small tree will be placed in the bedroom, and the things on it are all for you."
"Why do I feel like there's some ill intention behind this?" Lu Zixi rubbed his arms, "I feel like I've been set up..."
"How could that be," Yan Yunzhen said sincerely, "I love you so much."
"The more I look at you, the more you look like you're trying to coax me." Lu Zixi muttered softly, "How could I possibly like a big shot like you?"
He stood by the window, looking out, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the sea-sky line and listening to the sound of waves coming from afar. Yan Yunzhen stood behind him and hugged him, giving him a sense of peace and security.
Forget it, just coax her.
Who made him like it?
The author has something to say: I'm back! I've been waiting for so long! Sorry! All the little angels who leave comments on this chapter this week will receive a red envelope quq
I'll continue updating daily after that! Mua qaq I might go to Nanjing midway because the doctors here think my condition is quite complicated. The psychiatry department there is quite famous, so it would be better to go and see it. I'll try to save the manuscripts in advance!
Also: Expect to eat sheep within two or three chapters!
And the thing Lao Yan gave me is a treasure hehehe
