Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 48.1

Su Jing raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly, “It seems your CP doesn’t quite agree with what you just said. But if she were to bring it up, I’m sure Yuetong would agree.”

Was she angry because I didn’t let Bai Yuetong share the punishment?

Her intuition told her that wasn’t the reason.

Moreover, defining Wen Wen’s behavior like this in front of a national audience, it was hard to imagine what Su Jing was really scheming.

Jiang Chi’s raised hand itched to slap Su Jing’s face. Her dark eyes darkened as she restrained herself, only letting out a cold laugh. “Don’t be so presumptuous and judge others by yourself.”

She turned and chased after Wen Wen’s retreating figure.

Su Jing’s mouth opened slightly as she watched Jiang Chi’s back grow more distant, her gaze narrowing thoughtfully.

At the director’s station.

Director Xu looked up at the four people standing before him, his gaze settling on Jiang Chi as he smiled. “Which of your team will answer?”

The air was silent for two seconds before Jiang Chi tilted her head to look at Wen Wen standing beside her.

Director Xu’s gaze also shifted to Wen Wen.

Wen Wen spoke calmly, “Let them answer first.”

There were only two CP teams here Jin Jin Yi and Ji Mei hadn’t emerged from the escape room yet so Wen Wen’s “them” naturally referred to Su Jing and Bai Yuetong.

Director Xu froze for a moment before asking, “Are you sure? I feel I should remind you today’s rewards, the full-body relaxation massage package and the luxurious couple’s dinner, are one-of-a-kind. If they answer correctly, you’ll miss out.”

Jiang Chi also grew uneasy, leaning close to Wen Wen’s ear. “Sister, are you really giving it to them?”

Wen Wen didn’t look at her or answer the question, simply stating succinctly, “I’m sure.”

While they were making this “agreement,” Director Xu had been in the restroom and didn’t know what had happened. He glanced at the assistant director beside him, who leaned in to briefly explain the situation.

Director Xu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to Su Jing. “Then please answer first, Su Jing.”

Su Jing: “…”

Director Xu’s expression wasn’t exaggerated, but Su Jing could clearly see the expectation in his eyes hoping she would answer incorrectly.

Objectively speaking, as a show’s director, wanting explosive moments for the program was understandable. If she really answered wrong, she would become the first guest in the show’s history to have to bark like a dog during filming. Given her fame, this would undoubtedly be a massive highlight.

But subjectively, Director Xu’s attitude.

Whatever. Su Jing curled her lips slightly. Seeing Director Xu and the others’ expressions of shock, disappointment essentially getting their faces metaphorically slapped, would surely be entertaining.

Director Xu: “Your answer for the murderer in this story is?”

Su Jing answered confidently, “Ruan Yue.”

“Correct.” Director Xu continued with the second question, “And your answer for the male lead Qin Feng’s cause of death is?”

Apart from Wen Wen, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Su Jing. For a moment, it was as if all the noise from Happy Valley had vanished, the whole world held its breath, waiting for Su Jing’s answer.

[Heaven and earth, please let Su Jing answer wrong!]

[Hmm, she won’t actually get it right, will she? I was looking forward to seeing her humiliated.]

[Wrong answer, wrong answer, wrong answer (chanting). Can’t stand this dog man showing off.]

[I want to hear dog barks (doge).]

Su Jing glanced leisurely at Wen Wen before shifting his gaze to Director Xu: “Qin Feng’s cause of death poisoned by Ruan Yue.”

Without waiting for Director Xu’s reaction, Su Jing continued, “If needed, I can walk through my reasoning for this answer.”

His demeanor exuded absolute confidence.

Director Xu’s eyes then fell on Jiang Chi, who understood the silent cue and turned to Wen Wen. The next moment, Wen Wen spoke in a calm, detached tone: “I think.”

Her gaze settled on Su Jing.

“There’s no need to waste everyone’s time with the reasoning behind a wrong answer.”

Su Jing opened his mouth to retort, but Wen Wen raised a finger to her lips, signaling him to stay silent.

“Let’s hear Director Xu’s verdict first. If it’s wrong, then you can speak by barking like a dog.”

Director Xu, barely containing his eagerness, said regretfully, “Unfortunately, the answer is incorrect.”

Wen Wen looked at Su Jing. “So, Mr. Su, what was it you wanted to say earlier? Bark away.”

Su Jing: “…”

His expression froze momentarily before he quickly recovered. “My answer was wrong, but Miss Wen’s hasn’t been verified yet.”

“Are you so confident your answer is correct?”

Wen Wen shrugged slightly. “You were this confident with a wrong answer. Is there a problem with me being a little confident too?”

Even the gentlest person would snap after being repeatedly provoked, let alone someone merely pretending to be mild-mannered.

Su Jing’s pleasant facade began to crack, his nails digging into his palms to maintain composure. “You!”

Before he could finish, Jiang Chi interrupted, “Mr. Su, if you doubt our answer, why not wait until it’s judged before speaking?”

Seeing the hatred flash across Su Jing’s face, Jiang Chi belatedly realized something: since the show began, there had never been the subtle tension of unrequited love between Su Jing and Wen Wen. Instead, there was always an undercurrent of hostility.

She could understand Su Jing’s attitude had she not protected him earlier, Wen Wen’s methods would have already “buried” him. But why was Wen Wen like this toward Su Jing?

According to earlier deductions, Wen Wen’s love for Su Jing turning into hatred, leading to a “if I can’t have you, I’ll destroy you” mentality, could explain it.

Yet something still felt off.

Su Jing, misinterpreting Jiang Chi’s words as a hint that Wen Wen’s answer was wrong, thought she was giving him a chance to mock Wen Wen more effectively after the verdict.

“Fine, I’ll listen to you,” he said.

Jiang Chi: “…”

Wen Wen shot Jiang Chi a fleeting, inscrutable glance before looking away without a word.

Jiang Chi: “…”

This felt even weirder.

Maybe she should just keep her mouth shut and stay quiet like a quail.

Director Xu broke the uneasy tension among the three. “So, Wen Wen, what are your answers to these two questions?”

Wen Wen replied unhurriedly, “The murderer is Ruan Yue. As for the cause of death, the killer likely carved out Qin Feng’s heart, letting him bleed to death.”

The air seemed to freeze abruptly, the surrounding sounds of laughter or terrified screams fading into ghostly wails.

In reality, Wen Wen didn’t use any particular tone to deliberately heighten the atmosphere. Instead, she narrated everything with an unsettling calmness.

It was just that the imagery she described was so impactful that it inevitably left ample room for imagination, sending chills down everyone’s spines for no apparent reason.

Su Jing was the first to break the silence: “Is the answer correct?”

Director Xu snapped back to attention and confirmed, “The answer is correct.”

Su Jing’s expression twisted for a moment before he barely managed to maintain his composure, saying slowly, “If this was just a lucky guess, I can’t accept it.”

Jiang Chi directly called out his shameless behavior: “Why don’t you just say we guessed right and you’re trying to backtrack?”

Su Jing’s expression darkened. The smile on his face seemed coated in dry cement, cracking with every slight movement as if dust would fall off.

Since an explanation was needed, she would make him concede wholeheartedly. Wen Wen spoke unhurriedly: “If I’m not mistaken, the story goes like this.”

“Qin Feng was the school’s heartthrob, the dream lover of many girls and even some boys. The female lead, Ruan Yue, was one of them. Ruan Yue harbored unrequited love for Qin Feng. Like a classic case of unrequited love, she would steal glances at him in the classroom, create coincidental encounters outside, and then pass by him. Until one day, the admirer and the admired locked eyes, and the admired offered a polite smile. The admirer took it as some kind of signal, unaware that this moment was being watched by someone else who also harbored feelings for her.”

“Ruan Yue’s admirer, Liu Jingshan in the story used Qin Feng’s polite smile to fuel her delusions. He left her his contact information, admitted to being Qin Feng when she questioned him, and showered her with care and attention, fulfilling her every request. He won Ruan Yue’s heart, received her confession, and successfully got into a relationship with her. After that, his affection remained unchanged, he continued to fulfill her every wish, except for meeting in person.”

“Online, they were sweethearts, but offline, Ruan Yue lived in agony, watching her ‘boyfriend’ treat everyone equally. She was torn between two extremes, her mental state deteriorating day by day. Insomnia became a habit, her immune system weakened, and she fell ill frequently, ending up in the infirmary over and over. This went on for a long time until she learned that Qin Feng and another girl, the name mentioned by the NPC, Quan Qinghua, might have mutual feelings and had even agreed to attend the same university. For Ruan Yue, this truth was devastating.”
