After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 436 Is it like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot?

"As long as you're okay."

Ye Sanqing said to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian felt that her attitude was somewhat sarcastic, but as an elder, he couldn't handle the matter himself, which was also very embarrassing. He couldn't even maintain his usual airs anymore.

So he put on a stern face and praised Lu Mingye a few times.

It was fine if it was just polite talk, but the more he talked, the stranger it became, and he even started saying things like "a handsome and talented man".

Ye Sanqing knew that he favored Lu Mingye, but he couldn't bring them together at this time, could he?

It was already quite undignified; wouldn't this make it even more undignified?

"Okay, I understand. You should get some rest."

She interrupted Ye Tian.

"Sister-in-law, you should get some rest too."

After saying that, she walked towards the door. Sheng Hanyu gave the two of them a look that said, "I wish you peace," and followed her out.

Lu Mingye then came out and asked at the door, "Shall I take you back?"

"You really are socializing all the time."

Ye Sanqing had just caught a glimpse of him taking out his phone, presumably to add each other's contact information, and made a comment.

"I have no choice, I still need to send an apology gift."

Lu Mingye shook his head.

He didn't want to, but he always felt that after adding Ye Tian, ​​the other party would ask him about his progress with Ye Sanqing from time to time.

Song Taotao was alright, but since Ye Sanqing acknowledged her as his sister-in-law, he had to maintain a friendly relationship with her at least a little.

"I'd like to go fishing."

Ye Sanqing suddenly spoke, and both of them looked at her.

"Now?"

Ah, that inexplicable tacit understanding has reappeared.

Sheng Hanyu and Lu Mingye exchanged a glance and then looked away.

"Just kidding, how much longer will it take you there?"

"I'll definitely give you an answer by daybreak. You... you can rest first."

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingye gave a relatively safe answer.

He doesn't need to sleep, but the others can still get some sleep.

"Row."

They drove in silence, and Lu Mingye first took Sheng Hanyu to her destination.

After he entered the room, Ye Sanqing said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

She realized that Lu Mingye could have gotten her off at the right time, but he took a detour.

"Uh, I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

Lu Mingye didn't really have any thoughts, but he suddenly felt that, given his orientation, Ye Sanqing might mind him spending time alone with Sheng Hanyu.

That's why I deliberately took a detour.

"I don't usually overthink things, as long as you do your jobs well."

Lu Mingye: It's late at night, dark, and foggy. In such an atmospheric setting, can you please not speak like a leader?

Although he had never experienced the pain of overtime work, his current feeling was no different from suddenly seeing a work-related WeChat message from his boss in the middle of the night.

All he could say was, "I will."

When Lu Mingye returned to the basement after seeing Ye Sanqing off, Lu Wangshen was slowly wiping his hands.

"You've come at the right time. Help me change my clothes."

Although it looked like Lu Wangshen only had bloodstains on his trouser leg, he seemed unable to tolerate even that little bit of blood, frowning and looking anxious as he spoke.

"Can't you stop now? I'm your brother, not your servant."

Lu Wangshen looked at him with great surprise, "What's wrong with helping out?"

Lu Mingye glanced at Wu Yin.

The other party understood and immediately stepped forward to push Lu Wangshen's wheelchair.

"Ugh, can't you be a little nicer to me?"

Lu Wangshen complained as Wu Yin pushed him into the bathroom.

Isn't that good enough?!

Lu Mingye ignored him and glanced at the assassins lying on the ground.

Thankfully, they still seem to be breathing.

He casually picked up the teacup next to him, poured himself a cup of tea, and before drinking it, he suddenly looked at the bottom of the cup as if he had a premonition.

There's a tooth lying there.

"Lu Wangshen!"

Lu Mingye pushed open the bathroom door aggressively.

The other person was changing clothes with Wu Yin's help when they heard this and smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you like the little gift I gave you?"

"I'm really convinced."

He definitely did it on purpose!

"Alright, I'll pour you a glass myself in a bit."

Lu Wangshen kept his word. After changing his clothes, he came out and brought Lu Mingye a clean cup to pour tea.

Lu Mingye glanced at the bottom of the cup.

No more things that shouldn't be in the cup appeared.

Is there anything useful about it?

“No.” Lu Wangshen shook his head. “They are not suicide squads, just ordinary assassins.”

"The kind where they're purely hired?"

"Yes, although we all know who sent them and who is cooperating with them, they basically know nothing."

Lu Mingye looked again at the injuries on the ground.

If someone is tortured to this extent and still doesn't say anything, then they truly don't know.

He still believed in Lu Wangshen's professionalism in this matter.

"We need someone to contact us, right?"

“Yes,” Lu Wangshen said. “It was contacted by the sixth concubine’s younger brother. I almost died laughing when I found out just now.”

"Huh? It's so obvious, could it be a trap?"

Lu Mingye didn't believe there was such a good thing in the world, that he could find the key person so easily with just one investigation.

The sixth concubine's brother was basically in charge of the casino.

In other words, he's in a similar position to the manager in the Northwest region, but there are two people in that position in the Southwest region.

One was one of Master Ying's own people, and the other was, of course, one of Sixth Concubine's own people.

The scale here is completely different from that of the Northwest Region; it's several times larger and has more scattered spaces.

So it's fine if two people are in charge, and they usually keep to themselves.

"Who knows, could it have been designed by Master Ying?"

Lu Wangshen smiled.

What good would it do him to get rid of the sixth concubine's brother?

Lu Mingye said, "Are we trying to shoot ourselves in the foot?"

"No, he probably just made precautionary preparations, framed them, and protected his own people. It's normal. He just didn't expect that this time they would be completely eradicated."

Lu Wangshen commented, "Actually, in this kind of situation, it's impossible for them to push the Lu family out and get away unscathed. This is just as good; when they come looking for us, we can just shift the blame back to them."

Lu Mingye thought about it carefully.

He makes a good point.

Since Master Ying sent three assassins, it meant he hadn't considered the possibility of failure.

Being a professional assassin has its advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that they usually only reconnect after things have succeeded and they are completely safe.

But we can't guarantee there weren't other informants. Now that Master Ying must know the assassination failed, doesn't he have a backup plan?

Even if there's only a one percent chance, this old fox should be prepared.

Lu Wangshen knew more about the conspiracies and schemes than he did, so Lu Mingye looked at him.

"I turned on the signal jammer."

Lu Wangshen gave a smile that said, "You see, we still have to rely on me."

"How come... you only opened the branch for their side?"

Lu Mingye didn't sense any signal problems at all.

"No, I only turned off this side."

Lu Wangshen laughed, "It's a foggy day, that's perfectly normal."
