Lan Qingqing was utterly confused about the situation. She had sneaked in to report something to Wan Zhang, but now, there he was, sitting motionless in a rattan chair, clearly in a state of death!
In this house, there wasn't even a maid or servant. When she had entered, it had been so strange and unexpected; she never imagined she would find a corpse on the second floor!
Lan Qingqing tried calling out Wan Zhang's name, but he didn’t respond. Gritting her teeth, she extended her fingers to feel for breath beneath his nose—nothing.
Panic surged through her as she dropped to the floor, scrambling to gather her scattered belongings: her phone, a small mirror, some powder—she stuffed them haphazardly into her bag. Pushing herself up, she dashed out of the bedroom, running and shouting, "It wasn’t me! I didn’t know anything! This is just my luck! What terrible luck!"
She bolted down to the first floor of the villa, burst out of the front door, and raced through the yard.
At that moment, the cleaning staff returned. The cleaning lady saw Lan Qingqing rushing out through the iron gate of the villa. She pointed at Lan Qingqing's retreating figure and was about to shout when Lan Qingqing had already vanished from sight.
The cleaning staff found it odd and quickly took out her phone to call the property management.
Once connected, she hurriedly explained, "Just now, someone suspicious ran out from Wan Jia. I don't know if it's a thief. Are you at the gatehouse? If you are, please stop them and ask what’s going on—let’s not have any more incidents!"
On the other end of the line came a voice saying, "I’m in the restroom right now; I’m not there. Xiao Li is alone at the gate. I can’t go over right now. Weren't you supposed to be clearing leaves in Wan Jia's yard? Didn’t the owner ask you to do that? You’re already in the yard; how could a thief get in?"
The cleaning staff insisted, "It’s not my fault! I just stepped out for a few minutes after clearing leaves when that woman rushed out! It’s strange! Anyway, I’ll go check inside. Today, only the elderly master is home; all the maids are on leave. That’s why I’m handling the weeds and leaves myself. I’ll take a look; let’s hope nothing else happens!"
After hanging up, the cleaning staff turned back and entered the courtyard, heading straight for the front door.
She went upstairs and called out softly for Wan Zhang's name. "Mr. Wan? Are you alright? I just saw a woman run out of your house—is she your guest? Mr. Wan?"
Entering Wan Zhang's bedroom, she found him still sitting motionless in his chair. A sense of unease washed over her as she instinctively turned on her phone camera and slowly approached him.
Realizing something was wrong, she called out again, "Mr. Wan," while inching closer.
She reached out and poked Wan Zhang's shoulder—no response.
At that moment, her foot accidentally kicked something on the floor. Looking down, she saw a pink lipstick case that seemed to have appeared from nowhere.
The cleaning staff understood that something was seriously wrong with Wan Zhang and quickly called property management again before reporting it to the police.
Later that night at a hot pot restaurant, Tong Le was celebrating with Jin Zi Meng before she started filming. Everyone gathered together for dinner and conversation: Zong Zeyu, Zong Jin, Wen, Jiang Zhichao, Tian Ling, Wu Youyou, and Zhou Zishuo.
It was just dinner; with so many people around, it felt lively and everyone enjoyed being part of it.
Tong Le initially thought Jiang Zhichao and Jin Zi Meng would end up together but soon realized that they could only be colleagues and good friends; trying to push them into a romantic relationship would be quite futile.
The saying "familiarity breeds affection" does not apply to everyone.
