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

Chapter 551 It Might Not Be Worse Than a Gorilla

The news of Lu Mingye being poisoned reached Ye Sanqing the next day.

Song Taotao quickly integrated into the crew. She was naturally sweet-talking and knew how to get along with people, so she was quite popular among the chefs in the kitchen. Everyone had already eaten the dishes she made at noon.

Because it was a rest day, the cafeteria offered fewer types and quantities of meals than usual, since some people were out, and this was to avoid waste.

So today's lunch is stewed mutton, steamed eggs with dried meat, celery and tofu, and two kinds of blanched vegetables to choose from.

Song Taotao didn't do much today, mainly keeping an eye on the stewing and steaming times, but she has already started filming footage, which she will compile and edit together before releasing it.

Ye Sanqing was having dinner with them when he glanced at the message and sighed, "Strange things really do happen every year."

"What?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

Sheng Luoxin and her assistants were also at lunch, along with Song Taotao and several other actors. Ye Sanqing shook his head.

The Lu family's affairs still cannot be discussed in public.

I'll tell you in a bit.

Sheng Hanyu naturally understood what he meant; it must be information that couldn't be shared with others.

But others had different opinions after hearing this.

Sheng Luoxin thought to herself, "So, there really are little secrets between the two of them?"

Song Taotao wondered if it was still too late to become a fan of their CP (couple pairing). However, she would have to keep her mouth shut to prevent gossips from approaching her to pry for information.

In fact, after she posted her message on set yesterday, those internet celebrity colleagues who had previously been sarcastic towards her started calling her "sister" again, trying to salvage their relationship.

Song Taotao ignored all these messages, including Ye Feifan's. She even posted another one at noon: "I'm having lunch at Master Ye's film set today too~ Guess which part I was in charge of?"

Ye Feifan continued to sulk, and then Ye Wanyin even messaged her privately, asking why she was with Ye Sanqing. If she wanted to visit the set, why didn't she go to Ye Wanyin's place? She would have cooperated with the data collection.

Song Taotao sneered, "Data, huh?"

Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that we really had to keep a low profile at the wedding, we would have been trending on social media for all the wrong reasons that day.

Neuropathy!

It was obvious that Ye Wanyin thought Song Taotao wanted to ride on her coattails and actually believed that her popularity was no less than Ye Sanqing's, and that she would cooperate. She didn't understand why Song Taotao didn't come to her.

Ye Wanyin is genuinely confused by this kind of thing. How should I put it... her blindness is quite unique?

Ye Sanqing noticed the subtle changes in their expressions and smiled, "There are some business secrets involved, so I won't discuss them at the dinner table."

She said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and the tone she used to say "trade secret" was not much different from saying "state secret," but...

In this context, it's easy to be misunderstood as "there's a secret between us"...

Sheng Hanyu almost wanted to facepalm, but then she thought about it and decided it didn't matter.

Ye Sanqing might really be talking about trade secrets; her most distinctive trait is that she speaks her mind directly...

After all, how can you expect an emperor to be adept at reading people's expressions and understanding the atmosphere?

"Go fishing?"

So after dinner, Sheng Hanyu proposed this activity.

This was a rare moment of leisure for him recently. There was a tributary next to that lake where a certain type of fish appeared during this time of spring.

Firstly, it was for the fish; secondly, he had indeed been traveling a lot lately, and seeing that Ye Sanqing had hardly rested, he felt he should suggest some relaxing activities.

"Okay, are you going?"

Ye Sanqing looked at the others, and they immediately waved their hands.

Song Taotao also said, "When you come back from fishing, hand it over to me, and I'll cook an extra meal for everyone tonight!"

"What's going on? I thought everyone was interested in fishing."

Ye Sanqing said as he walked out with Sheng Hanyu.

"It's not that they're not interested, but since you mentioned it's a trade secret, they probably think it's better not to bother us."

Sheng Hanyu smiled.

"I see, but I do have something to say..."

After greeting a few passersby, Ye Sanqing looked around and, seeing that there was no one else around, said, "Lu Mingye has been poisoned."

"Unexpected...but reasonable."

"Why do you say that?"

"Didn't there have been poisoning cases before...? What I mean is, it's not surprising that the Lu family's internal strife has escalated to this point of harming and killing people... but targeting Lu Mingye is a bit too audacious."

“I hope it’s not Lu Wangqian’s conspiracy, after all, he has a perfect alibi now… but I don’t think he’s smart enough to come up with such a trick. He’ll probably just be impotently furious and wish everyone would just die.”

“He only acts like this in China. If he were abroad, he would probably just open fire.” Sheng Hanyu shook his head. “Sometimes I don’t understand why someone as lawless as him would come back to China. Nobody cares about him when he’s developing his career overseas. He’s practically living like a warlord there. Why does he still have to come back? Isn’t he afraid of going to jail?”

"Who knows? Maybe he truly loves Ye Wanyin? Speaking of Ye Wanyin... that news from last time was actually true, about Lu Wangshen and her."

Ye Sanqing remembered that she hadn't told Sheng Hanyu about Lu Wangshen contacting her before, so she spoke up.

It's one thing for him to indirectly pass on the message before, but it's quite another for him to personally admit it to her.

"He really knows the art of warfare..."

Sheng Hanyu complained.

This approach is essentially a Pyrrhic victory, harming the enemy eight hundred while inflicting a thousand on yourself...

"Never mind, it's not important, it doesn't affect the overall situation anyway. I heard that Lu Wangshen discovered the poisoning... Yes, judging from your expression, you're also wondering if he orchestrated it himself?"

"But Lu Mingye said that if he hadn't stopped him, Lu Wangshen would have drunk that stuff. Surely they wouldn't have gone that far? The toxicology report is out, it's highly poisonous, and drinking half a bottle would have been fatal."

Ye Sanqing continued.

No matter what Lu Wangshen does to Ye Wanyin, Ye Wanyin will be the one who gets into trouble.

The poisoning incident is the more pressing matter right now.

“I thought about it, but I felt it wasn’t necessary. What good would it do besides gaining Lu Mingye’s trust? Besides, it’s too dangerous for him. Even if he doesn’t drink half a bottle, just one sip and he gets poisoned would cause him a lot of trouble. He’s alone…”

Sheng Hanyu stopped halfway through her sentence.

“I know, it’s not that you’re being impolite, but you’re trying to say that he’s a disabled person, how can he be so physically fit? Actually, he is.”

For Ye Sanqing, it was easy to judge a person's strength by looking at their physique.

Although Lu Wangshen cannot move his legs and appears to be small in stature, his upper body muscles have definitely undergone rigorous training.

In other words, he's not very big, but in terms of upper arm strength alone, he might not be any weaker than a gorilla...

It's another primate. If he has nothing to do in the future, he can form a zoo with Ye Feifan.

Ye Sanqing laughed at the thought of the possible scene of baboons being chased all over the place by gorillas.

That's despicable, absolutely despicable.
