偷窥闺房

Lu Yingxin was on the verge of losing consciousness. She felt her entire body turn cold. She trembled violently as she choked on water, looking pitiful. Alas, none of the people present cared about her, treating her like air.

After a while, Huo Zheng walked over and came to a stop about a meter away from Lu Yingxin. He said, “It’s hot in the summer now. Miss Lu should be very comfortable now after taking a dunk in the water.”

How could Lu Yingxin respond to him now? She was dizzy. When Huo Zheng’s voice entered her ears, she was terrified. However, there was nothing she could do; she was completely helpless.

Huo Zheng stared at Lu Yingxin. Still not satisfied, he ordered, “Tie her hands and feet and throw her in.”

Lin Xiaowan had suffered so much, but Lu Yingxin was only choking on water. With this, how could he vent his anger?

When Lu Yingxin heard Huo Zheng’s ruthless words, she was frightened out of her wits. The men had already stepped forward at this time to execute Huo Zheng’s orders. Who knew where she found her strength, but she found the strength to beg Huo Zheng to let her off. Her red and swollen fingers were about to touch Huo Zheng’s shoes when he took a step back expressionlessly, avoiding her. She kept shouting and pleading in fear. Her black hair was in a mess at this moment, and she looked like a lunatic.

At this moment, Huo Zheng’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at his phone, and his expression softened when he saw the number displayed on the screen. He glanced at Lu Yingxin who was still shouting and ordered someone to cover her mouth before he answered the call.

Huo Zheng’s voice was no longer cold. It was affectionate and gentle as he asked in a low voice, “Qingqing, you’re awake?”

When Lin Xiaowan woke up and discovered that Huo Zheng was not around, she was surprised. After all, during this period of time, he brought her with him wherever he went. For this reason, she called him. At this moment, she was eating. She did not have much of an appetite so she ate very slowly. As she ate, she asked, “Did you go to the company?”

Although Huo Zheng could not see Lin Xiaowan, his indifferent expression softened as he replied vaguely, “I have something to do today, but I’ll be back soon. Have you eaten?”

Recently, the weather had been hot, and Lin Xiaowan had not been eating properly.

“Yes, I’m eating now.”

After exchanging a few more words, Huo Zheng ended the call. His expression changed immediately, and he said with a hint of impatience, “Throw her in.”

Now that Lin Xiaowan had woken up, he did not want to waste time here.

The Huo family had nurtured loyal people. Now that Huo Zheng had given them an order, they did not care about being gentle to the fairer sex. They quickly tied up Lu Yingxin’s hands and feet with a hemp rope and threw her into the pond.

Lu Yingxin could not move and could only sink into the water in despair. When she could no longer hold her breath, water surged into her lungs as she breathed, creating bubbles.

Huo Zheng calculated the time. After about two minutes, he said, “Bring her up. Don’t let her die.”

With that, the two men stepped into the pond and scooped Lu Yingxin out of the pool.

Lu Yingxin gasped for breath. Her chest was in so much pain, and she felt like it was about to explode. The buzzing sound in her ears was sometimes high and sometimes low. Although she did not know what happened after she tried to drown Lin Xiaowan, she knew that Huo Zheng was doing this to avenge Lin Xiaowan.

Looking at Lu Yingxin’s half-dead appearance, Huo Zheng felt a little better. He could not be bothered with her anymore. He said, “Send her back, and get a doctor to look at her.”

Lu Yingxin had to be healthy so she could be convicted and live the rest of her life behind bars.

In fewer than three days, Lu Yingxin was arrested for premeditated murder.

When the news was released, the movie was still playing in the cinemas. The movie was already popular, to begin with. As soon as the news broke, it became a hot topic immediately.

Although there was no official announcement yet, everyone was excitedly watching the show. An account had posted about it, and the post was very well-written. There was even a blurry photo attached to the post. It showed Lu Yingxin being arrested. Although the photo was taken from a distance away, one could see her frail body and the lifeless expression on her face.

[Netizen #1: This is the only time Lu Yingxin is popular…]

[Netizen #2: She must be the first person to fall as soon as she debuted.]

[Netizen #3:1 don’t think she has any fans at all. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that she had debuted. At the most, she was just an idol trainee.]

[Netizen #4: That’s right. When the movie first premiered, someone said this as well. Because she was an idol, not an actress, there were even people who praised her acting skills. I remember people saying that she was very hardworking when she was filming the movie.]

[Netizen #5: Can someone tell me what’s going on? What’s with the charge of premeditated murder?]

[Netizen #6: Who did she try to kill? It’s such a huge matter, but it was only exposed after she was caught. Why are they covering this matter so tightly?] [Netizen #7: Which agency does Lu Yingxin belong to? Did the agency release any statement? Where’s her manager? Where’s the PR team? Did they completely give up on her?]

[Netizen #8: Haha! Who can deal with this PR disaster?]

This matter was really shocking. Moreover, such a thing was rare in the entertainment industry. It was not surprising that this matter was highly discussed by everyone.

Lin Xiaowan was reading a comic book when she found out about this matter. She had picked up her phone, intending to play some songs, when she saw the notification on her phone. When she saw the headlines, she suddenly sat up straight.

Huo Zheng looked up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaowan stammered, “Lu, Lu, Lu Yingxin has been caught?”

Huo Zheng was amused. “Why are you so surprised? Weren’t you there when we caught her?”

“All, right, right,” Lin Xiaowan said. She finally remembered that she had gone with Huo Zheng to catch Lu Yingxin. However, she did not see Lu Yingxin with her own eyes at that time so it did not feel real to her.

Lu Yingxin’s team did not only consist of her manager. She had a few other people working for her as well. When she first disappeared, the Huo family had sent people to keep an eye on those people who had contact with her.

However, Lu Yingxin was quite vigilant. She had laid low for more than a month and did not contact anyone at all. She did not even contact her parents, who were honest farmers in her hometown. At that time, the Huo family had also sent people there, but there was nothing at all.

When Lu Yingxin’s manager found out about this matter, she immediately contacted the company. The matter continued to escalate, and in the afternoon, she and the company finally released a statement. They stated that they had been unable to contact Lu Yingxin after the filming of the movie wrapped up. She even attached a screenshot of their chat. It showed her sending Lu Yingxin many messages that Lu Yingxin did not reply to. In short, she and the company were saying that they were completely innocent and had no knowledge of this matter.

In comparison, the official account of the movie reacted faster. Not long after the news broke, a statement was released, expressing their shock and disappointment regarding Lu Yingxin’s actions and apologizing for their bad casting choice.

The statement was released so quickly that some people wondered if the statement had been written in advance.

Gu Yuwu knew about what Huo Zheng had done to Lu Yingxin before he sent Lu Yingxin to jail. In the spirit of avenging Lin Xiaowan, she quickly announced that among those who scolded Lu Yingxin, one thousand people would be chosen and rewarded with a thousand yuan.

When Lin Xiaowan found out about this, she joined in the fun as well..
