1820 Old Liang Family Residence, Sacrificing Lu Wenjing?
It turned out that Du Zhong and Song Yanru really werenât as stupid as Qi Hao thought. After they left, they immediately went to Lu Ningwen and Fang Yuâs room to make up.
It was only when Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu came to their room before the game and told Qi Hao about it that he realized that he had been worried for nothing earlier. However, what kind of alliance did that Du man and Film Empress Song plan to form?
It couldnât be against his sister-in-law and him, right?
Putting him aside, everyone else had seen his sister-in-lawâs abilities. If they wanted to leave this place alive, they definitely wouldnât dare offend his sister-in-law.
Because of his relationship with his sister-in-law, no one would dare offend him either. Besides, he was quite a people person, so there shouldnât be anyone who would hate him enough to want him dead.
Qi Hao couldnât figure out who Du Zhong and Song Yanru wanted to sacrifice.
Lu Ningwen said, âThey plan to sacrifice Lu Wenjing and want us to write her name!â
When Lu Ningwen said that, it was like a bolt from the blue. Qi Hao had thought it would either be Lu Ningwen or Fang Yu; he never thought that the person they wanted to sacrifice would actually be Lu Wenjing.
It made sense; otherwise, why would Du Zhong and Movie Queen Song go to Lu Ningwen and Fang Yuâs room without Lu Wenjing?
Lu Wenjing had probably never entertained this possibility either. Thinking of how she had behaved earlier, she probably still relied on and trusted the two of them very much.
Qi Haoâs heart turned cold. He looked up and was about to tell his sister-in-law, when he saw that she was listening to them.
âSister-in-law, why arenât you surprised?â Qi Hao couldnât help but ask.
Chi Shuyan said, âThe game tonight is about numbers. Du Zhong and Song Yanru probably formed an alliance first before Lu Wenjing joined them. As for why the two of them chose Lu Wenjing over Mr. Lu or Mr. Fang, at the end of the day, itâs because theyâre afraid of your very close relationship. They want to drive a wedge between the two of you and rope one of you in, but theyâre even more afraid that theyâll offend both of you if they canât do that. Moreover, the two of you get along with Haozi and me, so they canât afford to offend you, as you might join our side. As for Director Huang, they still donât know if heâll participate in the game tonight or if his vote will count, so in the end, the two of them can only sacrifice one person, Lu Wenjing. In addition, Lu Wenjing is more simple-minded, so sheâs the most suitable person to sacrifice.â
After Chi Shuyanâs explanation, the other three finally understood Du Zhong and Song Yanruâs tricks.
Although they didnât spend much time with Lu Wenjing, they still had a good impression of her, so they couldnât bear to sacrifice her.
Moreover, they were uneasy about Du Zhong and Song Yanru tricking Lu Wenjing behind her back.
In particular, one of them was the film empress whom they had idolized and admired in the past. The two of them were actually more inclined to believe that it was the Du man who had proposed sacrificing Lu Wenjing, and Film Empress Song had no choice but to agree.
Fang Yu continued, âCelestial Master Chi, Brother Qi, we didnât agree right away. We just said that we had to think about it. Now that weâve given it some thought, if we really have to sacrifice someone, we plan to write Du Zhongâs name. What about you?â
Seeing that the two of them trusted them so much, Qi Hao didnât feel it was nice to hide anything, but he didnât know whose name he should write. If something happened to the other party tonight, wouldnât he feel guilty for the rest of his life?
Chi Shuyan took in Qi Haoâs soft-hearted gaze and didnât force him. She said, âHaozi and I donât care whose name it is!â Since she had brought Haozi here, she was confident that she could get him out safely. After a pause, Chi Shuyan continued, âAs for the two of you, just do as you have decided. However, if you really write Du Zhongâs name, Iâm afraid that once the votes are counted, youâll be the first two heâll suspect. If he doesnât die, youâll have to be more wary of him in the future. In short, itâs never a bad thing to be more wary of small-minded people!â
Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen nodded solemnly.
They left not long after.
After the two left, Qi Hao couldnât help but say, âSister-in-law, whose name are we going to write later? Iâll write my own name. Nothing will happen to me, right?â
Chi Shuyan told Qi Hao to do as he pleased and promised that nothing would happen to him. Qi Hao immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
At 11:30pm, Qi Hao promptly replied to Song Yanru and the others about the alliance. After receiving the rejection, Lu Wenjing could still be considered calm, but Du Zhong and Song Yanru looked at them indignantly. They kept probing whose name they planned to write later.
This time, without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Qi Hao said, âI plan to write my own name, hehe!â
Song Yanru and Du Zhong didnât believe him at all.
Qi Hao continued, âI really donât plan to offend anyone. Just treat my vote as scrap!â
Du Zhong still didnât believe him, and his eyes flashed. He couldnât help but say, âBrother Qi, are you really going to write your name? Arenât you afraid of death?â
Qi Hao replied without thinking, âI have my sister-in-law. Whatâs there to be afraid of? Donât tell me youâre planning to write my name, right? If you make my sister-in-law unhappy, will she still take you out of this godforsaken place?â
These words rendered them speechless. Du Zhongâs face turned green and was very unsightly. In the end, he confirmed that the other party was harmless and also useful, and he didnât dare plot against him. Still, he asked Chi Shuyan what she planned to do.
Chi Shuyan said indifferently, âJust treat my vote as scrap!â
As soon as she said that, Du Zhong and the others begrudgingly relaxed. They still felt slightly regretful that they hadnât roped her in, but like Qi Hao said, they couldnât afford to offend her. They still wanted Celestial Master Chi to take them out of this place, so they didnât dare offend the two of them, and hurriedly excused themselves.
Before she left, Song Yanru looked at Qi Hao strangely. Chi Shuyan looked at her, and Song Yanruâs heart thumped. She immediately turned around guiltily and left in a hurry.
She didnât see Chi Shuyan staring intently at her back, deep in thought.
