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

Chapter 550 There are rats in the house, let's catch them all.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, the sound of things being smashed could be heard coming from inside.

It was accompanied by all sorts of profanities, it was simply... a cacophony of voices!

"Get out of my way, or I'll run over your corpse."

There was a brief silence after those words were spoken.

Without even asking, Lu Mingye knew who it was. He looked towards the door and saw Lu Wangshen drive out from inside.

As soon as he came out, the noise inside started again.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me?"

As soon as Lu Wangshen saw that he was still there, he immediately put on that playful, grinning expression again.

"...I'm leaving now."

There was no point in standing there any longer, so Lu Mingye threw away his cigarette butt and turned to go back to his room.

If things go as expected, Lu Wangshen will appear tonight...

No, it's not evening yet.

As soon as he returned to his room, he saw Lu Wangshen sitting inside, waiting for him.

"No, does our house have some kind of secret underground passage? Why are you faster than me?"

Lu Mingye slumped down on the sofa.

He certainly had his own private yard, and theoretically the gate should have been locked before he came in...

But he was too lazy to even ask Lu Wangshen how he got in.

"Yes, your room actually has a secret passage, the kind that's perfect for planning a locked-room murder."

Lu Wangshen nodded.

"Don't open it... no, there really is one?"

Lu Mingye sat up straight and said.

What's going on? He doesn't come back to stay often, yet he's already created a secret passage for him?

"I was lying to you, I actually flew here."

"..."

"I want to drink water. You can't expect a disabled person like me to get water myself, can you?"

Lu Mingye had no choice but to stand up.

He returned to the courtyard without Wu Yin; the other party was currently dealing with the shockwaves from the series of bombs he had thrown.

So now he has no choice but to pour Lu Wangshen's drink himself...

Turning the tables and reversing the roles of the host and host...

Lu Mingye cursed inwardly a few times, not really wanting to pour any water, but instead grabbed a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and shoved it into Lu Wangshen's hand.

"Lu Mingye, your Coke is flat."

Lu Wangshen opened the lid, smelled it, and suddenly frowned.

"That's impossible! I told them to change it before I came back... Don't drink it!"

In a flash, Lu Mingye suddenly thought of a possibility.

The shadow of poisoning has never left the Lu family.

But Lu Wangshen seemed to only complain about the leak and then nonchalantly poured the contents into his mouth.

Lu Mingye had no choice but to rush over and grab his wrist.

"...Looks like you still care about me quite a bit, huh? Your only stubborn thing is your mouth."

"not me……"

Lu Mingye originally wanted to retaliate with trash talk, something like, "Let me show you what else is tough..." but he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was Lu Wangshen.

Lu Wangshen would definitely say, "You're welcome to give it a try."

Then it would be awkward if you couldn't figure it out, so it's best not to talk nonsense...

"Stop joking. You think there's something wrong with this drink? Then I suggest you call the police right away."

Lu Wangshen let Lu Mingye take the cola from his hand, and slightly suppressed his fake smile as he spoke.

Lu Mingye carefully screwed the lid on and glanced at the refrigerator.

The entire refrigerator is ruined!

Instead of just calling the police, you should hire a professional team to conduct a thorough inspection.

"The sun has risen in the west, and you actually suggest calling the police?"

Despite saying that, Lu Mingye still turned on his phone.

"Isn't it obvious? There are still rats in the house, let's catch them all together."

"This is so unlike you. Who are you? Please support... no, hello, where's my brother?"

Lu Mingye casually complained, focused on sending messages, and didn't notice the change in Lu Wangshen's expression upon hearing this.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Mingye looked up at him and found that Lu Wangshen was looking at him with a subtle expression.

"What are you doing? Are you really an alien?"

"You actually consider me a brother?"

Lu Wangshen said with great doubt.

"...What the hell are you spouting?"

Lu Mingye suddenly became a little annoyed.

If you don't consider him a brother, you shouldn't have stopped Lu Wangqian back then; you should have just watched him die in a pool of blood.

Even if the Lu family really doesn't have much kinship, some things might just be coincidences, but once they happen, they happen.

It's like the thin brotherly bond between them; though thin, it's there at least.

"So that's how it is. I've just realized you're a sentimental little thing."

"Who are you trying to disgust? Shut up."

Lu Mingye didn't want to talk to him anymore.

At the same time, a question arose in his mind.

Did Lu Wangshen know about the poisoning and that's why he deliberately asked for a drink?

But how could he be sure he'd just take it directly from the fridge instead of making tea separately...?

He gave up after thinking about it for less than a minute.

It's best not to delve too deeply into anything concerning Lu Wangshen.

Since the police and testing team would take at least an hour to arrive, Lu Wangshen suggested they take a walk in the yard.

Helpless, Lu Mingye asked Wu Yin to bring over another drink, and then pushed him out.

Do you still remember what happened back then?

There's not much to see in the courtyard, because Lu Mingye doesn't come back often. Even though it's well-maintained, it doesn't feel very lively.

Lu Wangshen gestured for him to park his wheelchair next to the small pond, and said while looking down at the fish.

Do you want me to remember or not?

Lu Mingye stood behind him, also watching the fish.

How did this fish grow so big...? Who put a golden arowana in his pond?!

And they actually survived?!

"What do you think? This fish is quite resilient."

Lu Wangshen also noticed that he was looking at the big golden fish and laughed.

But who is more tenacious, the fish or him...?

"If we make too much noise, everyone will know you're here with me."

"You dislike me?"

"No, can you be serious and listen to me? I mean, if you want to leave, you can leave now."

"I originally wanted to leave, but I've changed my mind now."

Perhaps it was because the fish had put Lu Wangshen in a good mood, but he explained, "That's exactly the kind of 'covering up' effect we wanted. You tell me, after our heated exchange in the meeting, are they more upset seeing us together or seeing us apart?"

"It is indeed the former. But in that case, why didn't you just come with me? Why did you have to take this secret passage? Are you crazy?"

Lu Mingye was speechless.

"Am I sick? You've known me for a long time."

Their back-and-forth continued for an hour, until everyone who was supposed to arrive had come.

Next came another round of taking statements and collecting evidence on site. Lu Wangshen started acting again, almost tearfully recounting how he had narrowly escaped drinking that beverage.

Lu Mingye watched him expressionlessly from the side.

If you're going to act, then keep acting.

After everyone had left, Lu Wangshen said, "Actually, I was just thinking about whether or not to give you a drink. After all, if someone is really injured, their crimes will be more serious."

"Give me a break... Aren't you going back home? You're not going to stay here with me, are you?"

Lu Mingye didn't believe him at all. He probably thought he should drink it himself and then take the opportunity to make a big fuss. However, the dosage of the poison was hard to say, and if he drank it and died, it would be difficult to handle.

"I'm going to stay here."

"...Okay, but don't bother me tonight."

"You're joking. I can't even get out of bed, how can I disturb you? Unless you want to..."

"Please, just shut up..."
