The moment the door was pushed open, Lu Yue made a lightning-fast decision.
[System! Help me induce vomiting!]
This time, 001 didn’t ask any questions. The next second after receiving the command, Lu Yue was already bent over the washbasin, vomiting.
When He Lang rushed in, he saw a slender young man leaning over the washbasin, his face extremely pale, his eyebrows furrowed tightly with pain.
The white washbasin was filled with vomit, similar to gastric fluid, and the next moment the young man began desperately rubbing and rinsing those poor lips!
Damn Deng Hui!
Lu Yue seemed not to notice anyone entering, his alertness greatly reduced due to his condition.
With resentment in his eyes, he vigorously rubbed the area where Deng Hui had forcefully kissed him, until he washed away all the disgusting smell, before finally lifting his pale face, panting.
When he saw the reflection of another person in the mirror, he turned around in surprise: “What are you doing here?”
The young man’s breath was unsteady, the front of his clothes wet from the splashing water, revealing fair skin underneath. The most conspicuous were his lips, made bright red by the rough actions, almost as if they were bleeding.
As He Lang looked deeply at the young man, Lu Yue finally noticed something wrong with his assistant and couldn’t help but frown: “I’m asking you a question, why are you here?”
Only then did He Lang avert his gaze, concealing the bloodthirsty impulse in his eyes.
“I was meeting a client here with Manager Wang, and I just happened to see you.”
The tall assistant put on a composed and serious look, showing no signs of lying.
Lu Yue was startled: “You saw what just happened?”
“I wonder what Mr. Gu is referring to?”
“My matter with Deng Hui.”
You and Deng Hui?
He Lang’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of the scene where he had seen Deng Hui forcefully kissing Lu Yue, feeling an intense desire to kill.
“I saw it.”
Listening to the man’s calm response, Lu Yue suddenly trembled. For some reason, in front of this assistant, Lu Yue felt a deep sense of shame.
What would it feel like to see your boss kissing another man?
This man had always been his most trusted assistant, quiet and reserved, but excellent in his work. Wasn’t he supposed to be a good confidant?
Thinking of this, Lu Yue’s face grew even paler. What’s a good confidant? When did he become so fragile?
“Just pretend you didn’t see anything and don’t spread rumors.” Lu Yue’s expression returned to cold indifference, while the assistant standing there only nodded silently, but there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
He was having trouble understanding this person. He had betrayed him, and he might even be the one who killed him. But he also cried for him, was distraught, and even embraced his lifeless body.
He was standing closely with Deng Hui, and now he had this disgusted look. What was Gu An thinking?
Watching the slender figure of the young man leave, He Lang’s eyes, filled with hatred, showed a hint of fatigue and puzzlement for the first time.
[Ding! Male lead’s blackening value -10! Current blackening value: 75!]
As Lu Yue walked out of the coffee shop, 001 rang in his mind.
001: [Host, you’re amazing! The male lead still doesn’t know the truth, but the blackening value suddenly dropped so much!]
Lu Yue glanced at it: [That’s because He Lang is starting to believe me a bit now, indicating that my acting pitiful these days hasn’t been in vain! Ah, a man like He Lang looks so frightening, but he’s actually quite softhearted, after all, he loves me!]
001 secretly thought that Lu Yue was being unrealistic again.
Lu Yue: [By the way, do you know where the waiter who was bribed by Deng Hui at the party is? Help me gather some information about him.]
001: [That can be located. Does the host want to report him to the police?]
Lu Yue: [Not for now. I need a few photos of him. Also, help me exchange for some berserkers.]
001: [What does the host need berserkers for?]
Lu Yue smiled: [It’s time to reveal the truth.]
For several days in a row, Lu Yue was always asked out by Deng Hui, and the two of them were limited to just kissing for now. But every time he returned home, the first thing Lu Yue did was brush his teeth.
For the past few days, Lu Yue has rarely been to the company, so He Lang could only see the young man’s figure through the surveillance cameras.
Recently, the young man had lost a lot of weight again. Several times, He Lang watched as Lu Yue stared blankly at the food on the table, only to push it away after a moment. His face was frighteningly pale, and he often called out his name in his dreams.
Seeing all this, He Lang would mostly choose to mock, but after mocking, he would feel a huge sense of emptiness and a feeling similar to heartache.
But every time he thought of this, He Lang would quickly deny himself.
How could he worry about that person? When he chose to betray him, when he died on that cold night, he had already hated that person!
He hated his betrayal, he hated his cruelty, and he even hated how he was still disturbing his heart even now!
“Gu An…”
He Lang’s fist slammed fiercely on the screen, his eyes dark and unclear.
Perhaps because Lu Yue’s attitude had been good lately, Deng Hui finally finalized the investment matters. But no one expected that Deng Hui would fall ill the next day.
People in the company were saying it was symptoms of sudden madness, like seeing a ghost, crazily running out of the restroom, and finally being sent directly to the hospital.
When Lu Yue received the news, he sneered coldly.
Lu Yue: [This drug works well. I gave it to him this morning, and he started showing symptoms in the afternoon.]
001 took the opportunity to say: [Of course, the things we sell in our system space are all high-quality and inexpensive. Host, you should come and visit us often in the future!]
Lu Yue rolled his eyes: [Tell me, how much commission does your system take from this?]
001 chuckled: [Actually… not much, just 100 points…]
Lu Yue had a “I knew it” expression.
Looking at the time, it was almost time for dinner. Lu Yue picked up a thermos and headed out.
[Let’s go, let’s go see the patient.]
The patient Lu Yue mentioned was naturally Deng Hui. As they walked to the hospital, Lu Yue tapped into the system.
Lu Yue: [What is He Lang doing right now?]
001: [The male lead has been monitoring you all along and is now watching you through the surveillance cameras.]
Lu Yue: [Did he also install cameras in the car?]
001: [Yep! Not only that, he also installed a tracker in your watch.]
Lu Yue: [Is that so? Too bad I can’t let him see it with his own eyes, but it’s okay, letting him hear is enough.]
He really looked forward to seeing what expression He Lang would have when he learned the truth. It must be very interesting.
At this moment, Deng Hui was lying restlessly on the hospital bed. In the afternoon, for some reason, he suddenly became somewhat delirious. He saw the deceased He Lang in the mirror of the bathroom, rolling his eyes in a ghastly smile, and heard him say something like “I’ll send you to hell.”
At that moment, Deng Hui really thought He Lang was standing in front of him. He even smelled the stench of the corpse, which was simply terrifying.
Afterward, his actions were completely dominated by fear and frenzy, and he didn’t even know how he ended up being brought to the hospital.
However, Deng Hui comforted himself for the whole afternoon, feeling that he was scaring himself. He Lang was already dead, he couldn’t possibly crawl up to him again.
Therefore, Deng Hui quickly put this matter out of his mind. Compared to his previous fear, Deng Hui cared more about his date with Gu An tonight.
Gu An’s scent was too intoxicating, just kissing alone couldn’t satisfy him. He decided that no matter what, he must get him tonight!
Deng Hui was thinking so much that his whole body was hot, but he didn’t expect Gu An to actually come to the hospital.
“Why are you here?”
The young man at the door was dressed casually, looking even younger.
“I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see you.” Lu Yue said coldly, then shook the thermos in his hand.
“I made some porridge for you.”
“Porridge? When have you ever been this kind to me?” Deng Hui looked at him teasingly, although he was surprised by Lu Yue’s sudden kindness, as a man, Deng Hui couldn’t help but wonder if Lu Yue had developed feelings for him.
Lu Yue didn’t say anything, just placed the porridge on the table.
“Drink it while it’s hot.”
Still pretending to be coy at this moment!
The more Deng Hui looked at Lu Yue’s indifferent appearance, the more he wanted to pin him down and see if he would cry and beg for mercy when he fell!
However, it wouldn’t hurt to finish the porridge first.
Watching Deng Hui finish the porridge without leaving a single drop, Lu Yue secretly smirked. He had added all the remaining medicine into it, thinking that Deng Hui might go berserk later, which caused him a little bit of worry.
001: [Don’t worry, host, I’ll protect you!]
Lu Yue: [How will you protect me?]
001: [I can block your sense of pain!]
Lu Yue scoffed disdainfully: [Don’t you have any offensive items?]
001: [Well, according to the regulations, the system cannot attack people from different worlds.]
Lu Yue: [Then you can leave, goodbye!]
Meanwhile, He Lang, who overheard their conversation, suddenly darkened his face. Gu An actually made porridge for Deng Hui!
Just a few days ago, he clearly despised him, and now he’s being so nice to him!
He Lang felt like his lungs were going to explode, feeling that his thoughts over the past few days were all a joke!
He shouldn’t have any expectations for this ruthless man!
Even if he’s not the one who killed him, he probably already forgot about him!
Look, Deng Hui fell ill, and he couldn’t wait to rush over!
Gu An, are you so eager to stick to someone?
Right now, He Lang just wanted to tear his heart out and see if it was still warm!
He Lang’s eyes were red, but Lu Yue’s next words made him freeze abruptly.
He heard a small and indifferent voice from the other end: “He Lang… it was you who killed him, right?”
