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

Chapter 401 I'll at least try to pursue you.

This was originally just a deduction, but Ye Sanqing confirmed it when he faced Lu Wangshen.

Lu Wangshen's eyes were filled with intense hatred, directed at Lu Wangqian, and perhaps at the entire Lu family.

To be honest, she hadn't expected to see Lu Wangshen so soon, but Lu Mingye's efficiency was clearly very high.

Not long after Ye Sanqing returned to Sheng Hanyu's side, he quickly told her about his conversation with Lu Mingye, and then Lu Mingye's message arrived.

At this moment, Fu Sizhou and Yu Canling had just finished dancing.

Lu Mingye himself did not appear, but instead instructed Wu Yin to come and take her to where Lu Wangshen was.

then……

"what is this?"

Lu Mingye looked at the person Ye Sanqing had thrown to the ground as soon as he pushed the door open and asked.

"Assassin... Number Two?"

Ye Sanqing shrugged helplessly.

Wu Yin looked anxious.

He felt extremely ashamed because he was Lu Mingye's assistant, and in theory, with him accompanying him, he should have been safe within the Lu family compound.

This second assassin clearly disregarded his identity and jumped down from mid-air to assassinate Ye Sanqing.

Ye Sanqing quickly pushed him away, and while dodging, he kicked the assassin in the jaw, knocking him unconscious.

She also muttered, "Have I been playing with some kind of creed too much?"

Before Wu Yin could even react, it was all over.

He considered himself to have seen many dangerous situations while following Lu Mingye, but he had never seen anything like Ye Sanqing's case before...

The main point is that she's so skilled, so assassinating her without firearms would be suicidal, which makes these killers seem even more... brain-dead.

"Number Two?" Lu Mingye was even more puzzled.

"Ah, there was another one before, I knocked him out and left him in the lounge next door."

Ye Sanqing pointed outside and said indifferently.

It's clear that Lu Wangshen doesn't usually stay in this place. He must have received a message from Lu Mingye before being accompanied by his other subordinates to this temporary meeting room.

This lounge is for Lu Mingye's exclusive use, so it's a bit far from the other rooms. The decor isn't antique, but rather in a style that Lu Mingye likes—simple yet luxurious.

"sorry, I……"

Lu Mingye was also speechless, and he even seemed to be beginning to understand the anxiety on Wu Yin's face.

This is too embarrassing... He is the heir of the Lu family, and he can't even protect the safety of his business partner within the Lu family. How can he talk about cooperation?

No wonder Ye Sanqing gave him such a short time limit... If the time limit were longer, it would only make him, as the successor, seem very powerless, unable to control such a thing.

No wonder Ye Sanqing said he had selected defense...

Lu Mingye looked at the scratch on the other person's clothes that ran down from the shoulder and thought to himself.

In short, he first instructed Wu Yin to find someone to move Assassin Number Two away...

"Hahaha." Lu Wangshen, in his wheelchair, laughed in a good mood. "Mingye, is this the person you want to pursue? She's quite special."

"Young Master is joking. Didn't you see everything just now?"

Ye Sanqing smiled.

As expected, upon hearing this, Lu Wangshen nervously clenched the wool blanket covering his knees with his fingers in front of him.

The Lu family itself doesn't have much surveillance, but Lu Wangshen might have his own surveillance network.

Ye Sanqing asked himself honestly, if he were in such a situation where he couldn't walk, he would definitely need to prepare some trump cards, otherwise wouldn't he be at a disadvantage in every way?

Moreover, she wasn't unaware of the observational gaze.

Even without evidence, it doesn't stop her from testing the waters.

Lu Wangshen's loss of control was only momentary. His fingers quickly relaxed, and he laughed, "You're quite perceptive. If I weren't in a wheelchair, I would have at least tried to pursue you."

Ye Sanqing casually sat down on the sofa next to him. "This has nothing to do with whether or not I use a wheelchair. I will never agree to it."

[Little Bug, has his fate changed?]

【……No.】

It turns out that simply refusing isn't enough.

It seems that meeting Lu Wangshen was worthwhile.

Ye Sanqing also knew that if simply refusing would suffice, Cheng Yanye wouldn't have reacted that way in the first place.

This game is clearly not just about clicking "deny"; should we praise its user-friendliness or condemn it as anti-human...?

"Why? Are you really dating Sheng Hanyu?"

Lu Wangshen felt a strange sense of goodwill towards the other person as the other person sat down and their gazes met his.

And although he jokes about using a wheelchair, he might not be so comfortable with others using it against him.

Therefore, Lu Wangshen actually thought Ye Sanqing was quite eloquent, even though she was just telling the truth.

But he has no plans for a romantic relationship.

His so-called pursuit was... He knew exactly what kind of lie and pretense Lu Mingye's "pursuit" was; he was simply following along.

Since Ye Sanqing has so directly named him as someone who is being monitored, there's no need for him to be vague about what he's saying.

"Not yet."

While speaking, Ye Sanqing was also observing Lu Wangshen.

He looks exactly like Lu Wangqian, which is really... hard to talk to him politely!

However, due to years of lack of sunlight and exercise, Lu Wangshen's skin was noticeably paler, his figure was somewhat thin, and he also wore glasses.

He was a whole size smaller than Lu Wangqian, so the two of them were still fairly easy to distinguish.

Although Lu Wangshen could not attend the wedding, he still dressed appropriately, wearing a smoking suit that looked both dignified and comfortable.

Clearly, he is not someone who would give up his quality of life just because of his physical limitations.

Moreover, this wheelchair was not the common type; it was an electrically controlled one with a high-tech feel, making Lu Wangshen feel as if he were sitting on his own throne.

So the rumors circulating outside that he is just a disabled person being kept on a leash... may not be true.

At least his living conditions are definitely not a problem.

Of course, it's unclear whether Lu Mingye or others interfered in this.

However, Ye Sanqing believed that it would be difficult for Lu Mingye and Lu Wangshen to truly form an alliance.

They may share the common goal of dealing with Lu Wangqian now, but what happens after Lu Wangqian falls?

"Then...why didn't we have a chance?"

Lu Wangshen smiled faintly.

Lu Mingye: Just ask away, why did you bring me along...?

“I have to correct you on something.” Ye Sanqing raised his index finger and waved it. “Even if I’m dating him, that’s not a reason for me not to choose either of you. I won’t become someone’s possession just because I’m in a romantic relationship with them.”

“This… I hope you understand, and I hope you can understand.” Ye Sanqing said, looking at Lu Mingye.

"So... if we say anything more, it will be hurtful, and it might go against your upbringing. Do you really want to listen?"

After Ye Sanqing finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa with a very calm demeanor.

I heard that Lu Wangshen is a madman, so why does he seem to be the most normal one in the Lu family now?

"Well... we're just business partners, there's no need to go that far," Lu Mingye forced a smile.

He understood what Ye Sanqing meant.

Ye Sanqing was showing his disdain for the Lu family's deeply ingrained feudal ideology.

Lu Mingye had to repeatedly suppress his own feelings to avoid showing his misogyny, since personal emotions weren't that important when it came to cooperation.

He did not agree with feudal ideology, otherwise he would not have had the idea of ​​not wanting to be controlled by the Lu family.

What Lu Wangshen meant was, "Since you haven't been possessed by any man, aren't you a free object? So what's the point of refusing?"

Although it may not sound so obvious, this is actually a form of objectification of women.

And this issue... even Lu Mingye knows that they should have the right to choose to be single.

Although he might not care about this, he couldn't ignore Ye Sanqing's thoughts.

Lu Wangshen took a moment to react before smiling and saying, "It was my rudeness."

He didn't take it particularly seriously, mainly because he couldn't discuss this with Ye Sanqing under these circumstances...

Moreover, to put it bluntly, Lu Wangshen hates almost everyone. Gender doesn't really matter that much. He doesn't have the energy to consider other people's feelings. Maintaining a semblance of dignity is already quite good.

"Let's get back to the point. First, I'd like to ask, since you're not interested in me personally... then why do you want to see me?"
