“Shut up!” Ou Ziheng quickly looked outside, ensuring Luo Mingbai couldn’t hear. He pointed at her and said harshly, “Don’t think just because they’re not saying anything, I don’t know what you’ve done! Why did you offend them of all people? I’m telling you, stay away from me and don’t drag me down.”
Deng Xinjia almost screamed, “You said you loved me yesterday!”
Ou Ziheng stated, “Yes, because a few days ago I was a scumbag, and you were a mistress. It was a fair exchange. Now that I’ve promised the master to reform, I can’t associate with someone like you anymore. If you dare to pester me and offend the master, I’ll beat you!”
Deng Xinjia: “…”
This wasn’t meeting a master; this was clearly demonic possession!
But she had no time to overthink.
After speaking, Ou Ziheng turned and hurriedly left, muttering about “being a mistress” and “being immoral”. Deng Xinjia chased after him for a few steps but didn’t dare to approach, her tears almost spilling from her eyes.
She could feel the surrounding scrutinizing whispers. Just yesterday, her relationship with Ou Ziheng had progressed, and now it was over before she could enjoy it. She felt both heartbroken and embarrassed.
Deng Xinjia didn’t know who those two were, but they had made the usually reckless Ou Ziheng so apologetic. Though furious, she was also worried about offending Luo Mingbai and Xia Xianning. She could only glare hatefully at Zheng Yishan and angrily grab her script before returning to the rest area.
Luo Mingbai had no time to argue with her. He was searching for clues outside while listening to Xia Xianning’s discoveries about the deceased from the script.
Luo Mingbai, unusually serious, pondered, “What you’re saying makes sense. Although this matter started with Ou Ziheng, he might actually be the biggest variable. Just as you said, he hasn’t played a male companion or experienced a fire.”
Luo Mingbai spread his hands: “Look, although we didn’t witness the deaths of Sun Mo and Tao Shaochen, we can be certain they definitely weren’t killed like Ou Ziheng, with someone suddenly popping out to attack in front of everyone. Otherwise, the case would have been reported to the special investigation unit and wouldn’t have remained unsolved.”
