Shen Lan gave a sigh. “You are right, and that is why I am being as honest as I can.”

Shen Lan threw the broken listening device on the table and pointed to the tightly tied trash bag on the side. “The bouquet of flowers I brought had brownie tulips in it. Tulip pollen should make Miss Du sick, right?”

The color left Du Tian’s face. Tulip pollen was, indeed, an allergen for her. In extreme situations, she would have trouble breathing.

“I learned this from Lin Jin. Do not worry, I have already tied the trash bag shut. It will not spread in the air.” Then, Shen Lan added, “Also, do not take part in today’s variety show. They’re up to something.”

She reached into her purse and produced a paper, which she then gave to Luo Ying. It captured the segment-by-segment breakdown of the variety show. Shen Lan had meticulously highlighted the problematic areas.

Liu Sheng and Lin Jin wanted Shen Lan to bring tulips to the production team and incapacitate Du Tian so she could not make it for the recording. They did this so that Luo Ying would be framed in the variety show segment.

Shen Lan was being so honest because she had grown to respect Luo Ying and Lu Zhao, who backed her up. She wanted to win her trust as soon as possible.

Back then, Liu Sheng was able to take over the business of the Shen family in large part because of a deal struck with Lu Zhao. However, Shen Lan had just experienced a rebirth. She had the advantage of foresight.

Shen Lan’s best chance at success at the moment was with Luo Ying, as Liu Sheng should not have been able to enlist Lu Zhao’s help. She could do it without Lu Zhao’s assistance. All she needed was for Lu Zhao to refuse to help Liu Sheng.

“What is going on?” In the list, Luo Ying noticed a name that caught her attention.

It was Lin Mu. He was at the helm of the production team as a top executive.

Lin Jin was allegedly one of the conspirators, according to Shen Lan. In this programming department, Lin Mu served as a director.

They both shared the same surname. Was that really a coincidence?

“What do you think, Sister Du Tian?” Luo Ying cocked her head and inquired.

She had no idea what had caused Shen Lan’s sudden change of heart, but the details seemed solid enough.

Du Tian finished going over the paperwork and gave Shen Lan a good look. “What brought you here to help us out of the blue?”

Shen Lan smiled, but her grin stopped short of her eyes. “I used to consider Liu Sheng a close friend. But now I know that she and the others made fun of me, lied to me, used me, set me up, and planned to take over the business my family owned. I have more reason to despise her than Zhou Li.”

She had been too naive in her previous incarnation. Because of her fixation on a deceitful romance, she failed to recognize the largest problem in her midst.

Du Tian looked at Luo Ying with raised eyebrows. “I will take your word for it this time.”

After giving it some thought, Luo Ying decided to play along.

She sent Lu Zhao a few messages.

[There might be news of my accident later. I am in no danger at all, so please do not worry about me.]

[But you have to make it look like you are very worried! They’re up to something.]

[There could be a twist.]

She sent a message with an attached photo at the end.

At the same time, Lin Jin was keeping a close eye on events at the recording location for the variety show.

“Has Shen Lan shown up?” Lin Jin asked a passing staff member.

“Yes, her driver has already sent her there. She should have seen Du Tian and Luo Ying, but…” The young lady hesitated. Shen Lan had looked so happy. Was she really here to cause trouble?

“But what? Don’t stammer when you speak,” Lin Jin said impatiently.

“But she was carrying a bouquet of flowers,” she replied.

“Flowers?” Lin Jin scowled. She had a hunch that things were not going as planned.

Shouldn’t Shen Lan be here to start a fight with Du Tian? So why did she bring flowers?

Could she have planned on using the flowers to throw off the other party before getting into trouble?

“Du Tian has a severe allergy to flora.” Liu Sheng’s relaxed drawl could be heard through the phone.

“Du Tian would break out in hives if she so much as touched it. If the dose was particularly high, she would have to be taken to the hospital. In any case, Du Tian would not be able to show up. This way, only Luo Ying would be on stage as a guest.”

Liu Sheng naturally mentioned Lin Jin when she told Shen Lan this.

She would remove all traces of her presence. Even if Lin Jin were to be exposed, the evidence would not point in her direction. Lin Jin was going to be the scapegoat.

Lin Jin, still bewildered, felt a little more at ease, but her anxiety persisted. Liu Sheng was a very cruel person. An allergic reaction could be fatal if she was not careful.

“Then we… Ah!” Lin Jin was taken aback by the abrupt sound coming from the earpiece.. “What’s going on? Have they discovered the problem?”
