Chapter 432: Chapter 431: You Can’t Hide

Family Head Luo looked at Lu Xun, who was defending Luo Ning, and confirmed the previous news and his own suspicions.

Luo Ning and Lu Xun indeed had an unusual relationship; at least, Minister Lu was definitely a pursuer of Luo Ning.

He was just about to speak, intending to corner Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun spoke again.

"However, since Family Head Luo has brought it up, I naturally will not ignore this proposal. I will call now to ask for Luo Ning’s opinion."

Family Head Luo asked with a sardonic smile, "That sounds good."

He had just wanted to tell Lu Xun they wouldn’t force Luo Ning but wondered whether Lu Xun should ask for Luo Ning’s opinion, otherwise it seemed too disrespectful towards her.

Who knew the young man could react so quickly and voiced his intentions first?

Lu Xun was very protective of Luo Ning but never made decisions for her.

So, he stood up, took his phone, and went to another compartment to make the call.

Luo Ning was at home watching TV with her mother and brother. Seeing the incoming call, she returned to her room to answer.

After hearing Lu Xun’s words, she did not hesitate to say, "Since the old man wants me to help, I’ll just go."

"I also want to see what tricks he’s planning to play."

She had taken the Luo Family’s House Guardian Moon-shaped Saber, and Old Man Luo himself had come to the Imperial Capital; she couldn’t avoid him, so she might as well face it head-on.

Lu Xun said with a laugh, "I guessed you would choose this, so I’ll go and tell him you’ll come."

The two didn’t talk much and quickly hung up the phone.

When Lu Xun returned to the reception room, he told Family Head Luo, "Luo Ning said she is, after all, a member of a special department, and although we haven’t arranged this, she is still willing to help break the array."

"She will come and assist everyone when the time comes."

This statement sounded quite pleasant and placed Luo Ning in a very proactive position.

Although Family Head Luo was not very pleased internally, the outcome was as he wished, so he did not say more.

He said, "Minister Lu, after you arrange the time, let us know."

Lu Xun nodded, "No problem, but am I the one to distribute, or will you all distribute the location for breaking the array?"

He added, "I suggest that you distribute yourselves, as you know better the capabilities of the people you have brought."

Family Head Luo and others didn’t want Lu Xun meddling in this, "No problem, just give us the time and place, and we will distribute."

With that, the topic concluded; people from the Ancient Fengshui Family mentioned they wanted to stroll around the Imperial Capital and then excused themselves.

During the following days, Lu Xun would film in the mornings and handle affairs in the afternoons.

People from the special department had to check all major first and second-tier cities to see if any arrays had been set up, so they could be broken simultaneously.

Luckily, modern technology had advanced, and magnetic fields were different where arrays were present, detectable by instruments.

Aside from this, Lu Xun also looked into some people with strong Luck to see their situations.

He found that a small portion of people had experienced various similar accidents, with different women approaching them.

One day, Director Mo brought a young woman with him.

"One of our female supporting characters accidentally broke her leg and couldn’t continue participating, so I’ve found a replacement for her."

He continued, "Her name is Zhen Da; get to know each other."

Zhen Da smiled at everyone, "Please take good care of me from now on."

When Ji Xinghang saw her, his eyes darkened, and he emanated a cold aura.

Luo Ning immediately noticed something was off about Ji Xinghang; she looked up at Zhen Da and understood his reaction.

This lady is the main character in the video who was taken into a room. Although her features aren’t clear in the video, her figure matches up perfectly when you see her in person.

Luo Ning looked at Zhen Da again with a composed expression, noting that her Luck wasn’t low either, and she smiled playfully.

In the afternoon, Director Mo had Zhen Da reshoot the scenes of the person who was injured earlier.

Luo Ning pulled out her phone to check Zhen Da’s profile.

She had debuted through a talent show six months ago, followed by a web series, both of which had decent viewership ratings.

Although still technically a third-tier celebrity, her career was evidently on a good trajectory.

Zhen Da’s role was the likable type, and as long as the movie did well at the box office, she would rise with the tide.

However, Luo Ning felt that Zhen Da’s replacing the injured original actor was no mere coincidence.

Sure enough, after Luo Ning finished filming her part and was heading to the dressing room to remove her makeup, she turned a corner and saw Zhen Da and Ji Xinghang standing together.

Zhen Da’s eyes were reddened as she looked at Ji Xinghang, "I was the victim that day, what right do you have to accuse me of harboring ill intentions?"

"It wasn’t me who entered the wrong hotel room, it was you who forcibly took me to the room and then assaulted me."

"I just didn’t want to jeopardize my future by making this public, that’s why I didn’t call the police on you."

She bit her lip, putting on a resilient front, and glared at Ji Xinghang.

"I might as well consider it as being bitten by a dog and not give a damn about you."

"I have a rare opportunity to act in this movie, and I don’t want to lose it, so please don’t spoil it, let’s just pretend we don’t know each other."

Her words made it seem as though Ji Xinghang was the one clinging on.

Ji Xinghang, who was initially looking at her coldly, softened his gaze upon hearing this, "As long as you don’t have any ulterior motives, I couldn’t care less whether you act or not."

With that, Zhen Da touched the tears in her eyes, "Fine, that’s what you said."

She continued with a bit of petulance, looking at Ji Xinghang, "Shameless nasty man, others may like you, but I certainly do not. It’s best if we remain strangers."

After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation.

At the corner, she saw Luo Ning; first, she displayed a surprised and panicky expression as if she had done something wrong, but quickly regained her composure.

She greeted with a polite smile, "Hello Sister Ning."

Luo Ning nodded coldly without saying a word and walked past her straight into the dressing room.

Zhen Da didn’t seem upset, but her smile appeared a bit awkward as she continued on her way.

After taking a few steps, she couldn’t help but curl the corners of her lips.

Luo Ning approached Ji Xinghang with a very cold demeanor.

As they passed by each other, she scoffed, "I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person; you really disgust me."

After saying this, she ignored Ji Xinghang and went straight into the makeup room.

Ji Xinghang’s face changed, and he looked at Luo Ning with a mixture of pain and guilt, as if he had wronged her.

This scene was also seen by Zhen Da’s assistant, who showed a hint of a smile and quietly left.

Minister Lu did not come for the afternoon shoot. After removing her makeup, Luo Ning went to the parking lot with Xi Shu.

Just as she got into the car, she saw Ji Xinghang already inside.

Luo Ning wasn’t surprised, and merely asked, "Aren’t you afraid they will find out?"

Ji Xinghang replied indifferently with a smile, "Let them find out."

"They’ll probably think I’m here to explain or seek peace."

"After all, the act that woman put on outside the makeup room today was meant for you to see."

That woman, when she encountered him, had always been talking about other things until she heard footsteps, then deliberately said those things. He was crystal clear about that.
