WEDDING NIGHT: I BECAME THE FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER AND MARRIED THE VILLAIN!

Chapter 257: Clues

“Yes, I discovered that after my mother left Lan City, she returned to her hometown. She later returned to Lan City for a short time before moving to South City three years ago.” Lu Zhao appeared to be overjoyed as he recounted his tale.

“How is she doing now?” Luo Ying asked hopefully.

Lu Zhao shook his head. “She left half a year ago. I only learned this recently. I was a step behind, yet again.”

There is always a way. You are getting closer and closer to her.” Luo Ying encouraged him.

“That's right. It will get better.” Lu Zhao nodded and held Luo Ying's small hand. “Actually, I want you to know why I haven't dealt with Lin Jin yet. Old Master Lu's still has updated information of her actions as of the past half-year. I'm using her to keep the old man at bay. As soon as I learn something more concrete, I promise that I will immediately cut off all contact with her.”

“I understand your struggles.” Luo Ying shook her head. “But I hope that you keep me in the loop next time, alright? Do you really think I'd stop you from making use for Lin Jin for the sake of your mother? Do you think I'm that short-sigthed?” Luo Ying asked.

“No!” Lu Zhao denied anxiously. “Next time, you'll be the first to know.”

Lu Zhao solemnly made a vow.

“Alright.” Luo Ying believed him.

She considered this night a victory. She had helped Lu Zhao loosen some of the knots in his heart. The next step was to be by his side as he fought on. Luo Ying was in no hurry. She only wanted Lu Zhao to ease up.

The dishes were excellent. Luo Ying ate more than usual.

After dinner, she planned to put on some lipstick. “I'm going to the bathroom”

As soon as Luo Ying left the private room, she unexpectedly ran into someone she didn't want to see. Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying, however, was not as haughty as she once was. When Luo Ying saw Zheng Ying approaching, she frowned.

Why did she seem so confused?

She was even more startled by Zheng Ying's subsequent behavior.

Even though Zheng Ying was coming right at Luo Ying, she seemed oblivious to her presence. She brushed past Luo Ying with her eyes gazing off into the distance.

Luo Ying turned around and glanced behind in confusion. Wasn't Zheng Ying going to pick a fight?

What was going on? Moreover, Zheng Ying smelled strange when she passed by. Was it a new perfume?

Luo Ying wrinkled her nose and waved her hand at the surrounding air. Zheng Ying ignored her. She didn't want to cause any trouble, so she decided to continue walking toward the bathroom.

However, after walking a short distance, she noticed something shiny on the floor.

Was this dropped by Zheng Ying? Luo Ying's eyes grew wide as she realized what it was.

She hastily pulled out her phone and snapped a picture.

“Lu Zhao, do you know what has an unpleasant and sweet odor?” Luo Ying returned to the private room and showed Lu Zhao the earlier photo.

“A needle? Where did this come from? What did you smell?” Lu Zhao frowned darkly.

“On my way to the bathroom just now, I bumped into a female celebrity who had a conflict with me on set.” Luo Ying briefly told him about their shared history. “I smelled it when I passed by her. I found it in the corridor after she left.”

“It's drugs.” Lu Zhao's expression turned solemn as he asked her nervously, “Did you get stabbed? Did you touch the syringe?”

“No, no, don't worry. I did not approach it.” Luo Ying shook her head. “She also seemed drugged.”

Luo Ying frowned. “We can't have such a needle Iving in the corridor. Is there any way to deal with it?”

“I'll contact their management,” Lu Zhao said.

“Is there a way for us to runt tests on it?” Luo Ying stared at her phone, seemingly lost in thought. She was already beginning to guess why Su Li's drama was not screened back then.

If it weren't for the butterfly effect of her joining the cast, Zheng Ying would have had her say on set. However, Zheng Ying's involvement in drugs was eventually exposed, affecting the filming.

“You can hand it over to my people for testing,” Lu Zhao replied.

He had recently found out that Lu Wen was colluding with a foreign power, and the other party was a drug lord from another country. Could it be a coincidence?

He should investigate. He would not allow such a dangerous person to get close to Luo Ying..
