Chapter 430: Chapter 429: No Small Ambition

Ji Xinghang, hearing Xia Mian say this, always felt that there was something problematic about the other party.

He asked, "How did you end up hitting someone? Was it your fault or hers?"

Xia Mian replied, "My fault."

"At a certain intersection, I suddenly felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded, and then I failed to notice the red light."

"Then I hit the girl who was crossing the street, and by the time I came to my senses, she was already lying unconscious on the ground."

If it weren’t for Ji Xinghang calling him, Xia Mian would have thought it was just a coincidence, but now he also felt something was amiss.

He said, "I suddenly got dizzy and lightheaded, and I wonder if, like you, someone had tampered with something."

Mainly because the dizziness came too inexplicably, he had never suffered from such an issue before.

Last night, because Ji Xinghang was feeling unwell and left early, he didn’t drink much, and he felt quite spirited when he got up this morning.

Ji Xinghang said, "It’s not impossible; wait until the girl finishes her surgery to see, and then play it by ear."

Xia Mian replied, "That’s what I was thinking. If this is an attack on both of us, then these two women definitely have other moves planned."

Ji Xinghang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Right. Let’s pretend to be fooled for now; we have to expose the people behind this, no matter what."

"Exactly, they dare to plot against us; we absolutely can’t let this go." Xia Mian wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xinghang turned to Luo Ning, "Was he also set up?"

He had been using the speakerphone just now.

Luo Ning nodded, "His dizziness was too coincidental, and the key is that he hit a young girl."

Ji Xinghang’s face darkened as he said, "Could it be Yuan Hanyi scheming behind my back and against Xia Mian?"

Lately, Yuan Hanyi had been pushed into a tight corner by their joint efforts, and Chenxing Entertainment was about to snap.

It was normal for Yuan Hanyi to want to strike back at them.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Hanyi doesn’t have the capability to cast spells that control you, even if it’s with the help of aphrodisiacs in the drink, it must definitely be a powerful Mystical Technique."

"I’ll have Old Lu look into it," she added.

She always felt that the schemes against Ji Xinghang and Xia Mian were somehow connected to Bo Xiangxiang’s luck recovery.

She just couldn’t grasp that moment of inspiration.

Ji Xinghang knew that Luo Ning and Lu Xun were together, and suppressing the sourness in his heart, he asked, "Can he find out?"

If an actor like Lu could find out, he felt he could as well.

Luo Ning smiled, "He definitely can; don’t worry."

Ji Xinghang: "..." He wasn’t worried; he was just feeling bitter.

But since Luo Ning had said as much, he had no good reason to refuse, "Alright then, it seems we can only trouble Actor Lu."

As they talked, Luo Ning’s phone rang; it was Lu Xun calling.

Lu had no scenes this afternoon and went to the office instead, and now he was coming to pick up Luo Ning.

Luo Ning said goodbye to Ji Xinghang and quickly left the set with her bag in hand.

Watching Luo Ning’s hurried figure leaving, Ji Xinghang still felt quite uncomfortable inside.

Elsewhere, as soon as Luo Ning got in the car, she told Lu Xun about what had happened to Ji Xinghang and Xia Mian.

Lu Xun was initially stunned, then said, "I ran into the same thing this afternoon."

Luo Ning looked at him in surprise, "You hit someone too?"

In broad daylight, Lu shouldn’t have encountered what had happened to Ji Xinghang.

Lu Xun replied, "I didn’t hit anyone. When I drove to a less crowded intersection, I too felt dizzy and lightheaded for a moment, but I quickly regained my composure, so I managed to stop the car in time."

He was wearing the amulet his mother left him, as well as the protective jade pendant given by Luo Ning, so the brief dizziness only lasted for a couple of seconds and didn’t cause any problems.

Luo Ning asked with a smile, "Was that girl pretty?"

Lu Xun chuckled, "I didn’t pay much attention to what she looked like, but I’m certain she’s nowhere near as charming as you are."

Luo Ning gave him a playful glare, "I’m not jealous, just a bit curious."

She really wasn’t jealous, after all, she had a lot of trust in her own Lu.

Then she asked, "After you stopped, what was her reaction?"

Lu Xun thought for a moment, "At first, she looked scared, then panicked, and finally glared at me, even telling me to drive more carefully."

"She complained as if she were scolding me, saying if she got frightened by me, who would be responsible."

"From her reaction, it seemed like it really was a coincidence, and she wasn’t infatuated with me, but rather, quite fierce."

He smirked, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm, "I apologized to her and asked if she wanted to go to the hospital, which she refused, but she did leave me her contact information."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "Did you intentionally give her your contact info?"

Lu Xun nodded, "Although she acted well, it was precisely because of this that she exposed a flaw."

"So I played along and left her a contact number, saying that if she felt uncomfortable, to seek me out."

Luo Ning snorted with laughter, "Nine times out of ten, she’ll contact you proactively."

She continued, "Who do you think is behind this? Yuan Hanyi can be ruled out, but Shi Ji seems more suspicious."

Lu Xun said, "Even if it’s not Shi Ji, I think it’s related to the forces behind him."

"I just don’t understand why they would arrange such a thing." He was somewhat perplexed by this.

Luo Ning stated matter-of-factly, "They must be trying to seduce you, a classic beauty trap for sure."

Lu Xun was torn between laughter and tears, "But why seduce us? That’s the key question."

The purpose behind seducing them was what they needed to uncover.

Hearing him say this, Luo Ning felt as if she was on the brink of grasping something and fell into deep thought.

Then she connected Lu Xun, Xia Mian, and Ji Xinghang, looking for common characteristics.

The three of them had deep backgrounds and were handsome, but Luo Ning felt that wasn’t the reason behind the schemers’ actions.

What else could it be?

Just as she was pondering, Lu Xun’s phone rang.

It was from his assistant in the special department, saying that members of the Gufengshui Family had all arrived and wanted to meet with Lu Xun to discuss the Luck Stealing Array.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Luo Ning had a flash of inspiration.

When Lu Xun hung up, she looked at him and said, "I think I might have guessed what they’re planning."

Lu Xun asked with interest, "And what might that be?"

Luo Ning replied, "Stealing luck!"

"All three of you have very strong luck, especially yours. Just taking a portion of it could sustain a Luck Stealing Array set up throughout the Imperial Capital for a long time."

Lu Xun’s luck was of a deep purple hue, representing an existence far more profound than even the female protagonist’s luck.

Because of this, whether in his past life or this one, Bo Xiangxiang’s attempts to seduce Lu Xun had always failed.

Although Ji Xinghang hadn’t truly fallen for Bo Xiangxiang, as one of the main men in the book, his luck was naturally not low.

In fact, Ji Xinghang’s luck was much higher than that of the other main men Bo Xiangxiang tried to seduce.

Xia Mian had a profound background and considerable capabilities. Though not as good as Lu Xun or Ji Xinghang, his luck was naturally not bad either.

She then said to Lu Xun, "You should look into whether any single males with good luck have experienced anything similar recently."

"I have a feeling that the force behind this is weaving a massive net, aiming for something big."
