“Don’t worry. The bouquet was probably discarded or destroyed. Du Tian is not a fool to just leave something that could kill her lying around.” Liu Sheng’s voice remained unruffled. “Proceed to the next stage.”

Lin Jin could only do what she was told and contact the person she had planted on the production team.

Soon, a member of the staff hurriedly went to an individual in the midst of the chaotic set.

“Why can’t you postpone the show? What gives?” The manager was already sweating profusely. “The guest is having a severe allergic reaction. We need to rush her to the hospital! Do you even expect us to get this show on the road? We haven’t even started filming. If nobody is going to take responsibility for this, I’ll do it! Do you still have time to worry about the variety show? If something happens to the guest, I’ll go testify myself!”

“Sir, we really can’t postpone this. Director Lin has already asked around, and all of the other guests for the next few episodes are busy. Since the previous two episodes we recorded have not been greenlit, we are in serious trouble if we do not get this one in the can right away.” The staff member was also a portrait of anxiety. He pretended to consider the situation before offering a solution. “We have two stars. One of them won’t be able to make it, but we can salvage the situation with the other. Why don’t we have a guest stand in?”

It would not do the guest any harm to gain some exposure in another series, regardless of its future reception. They had very little reason to decline.

It came as a surprise when the manager rolled his eyes. “This is a special feature of the production. Why would they film a feature-length presentation with only one female supporting cast member? You should get in touch with the show’s producers again and see if any of the major players can hurry over. I don’t care if the director himself has to act in a few scenes!”

“What? A supporting cast member? Isn’t Du Tian the allergic one?” A moment of shock passed before the employee asked hastily.

“Who told you that Du Tian has an allergy? It’s Luo Ying!” the manager snapped at him wearily.

What was going on? Something had gone wrong. Didn’t the plan involve knocking Du Tian out of the running with flowers? How did Luo Ying get caught up?

The staff could not care less what the manager was saying and quickly called the person on the phone.

However, Director Lin, who had been in contact with him just a moment ago, suddenly stopped responding. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth in an instant.

In a certain high-level office of the television station, another tense situation was taking place.

Lin Mu was sitting in his ottice chair with a dark expression and staring at the people who had suddenly walked in. “What’s the meaning of this?”

The leader of the group carried himself with an amicable demeanor, but the bodyguards flanking him added a twist to that image. Lin Mu could not determine what they had done, but none of his telecommunication devices were functioning.

“Have no fear, Director Lin. I just want to help you catch up with an old friend.” Secretary Li smiled as he approached. He pointed the camera of his phone at Lin Mu. A video call was already taking place.

On the other side of the video was a familiar face, Zhang.

“Zhang, is that him?” Secretary Li asked faintly.

Lin Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

“Yes, that would be him. He said that the branch of the Lin family had moved away from the Lin family in the early years, but Lin Gu and he were actually biological brothers. He was the one who publicized the construction site to the press. He inflated the value of the real estate project in the media and got Lu Zhao focused on it.” Zhang sat in a sealed room with a haggard expression. He resignedly poured out the information in a monotone.

He had waited for what seemed like forever inside the room.

It had been so long that he was worried the data in his possession would be useless to Lu Zhao at this point. He was on the verge of despair. Secretary Li contacted him today and offered to negotiate.

Zhang broke like a ruptured water spout.

After being locked up for so many days, he was no longer able to distinguish which information mattered. He wanted nothing more than to spill everything he knew to Lu Zhao for a semblance of mercy.

“What old friend are you talking about? I’ve never seen that man in my life! What bullshit are you spouting?!” Lin Mu’s expression had turned ugly. The air conditioner did nothing to help the cold sweat that gradually seeped out of his back.

Who was this person? How did he know about him and Lin Gu?

“Well, he certainly seems to know you well enough.” Secretary Li hung up the video call and slowly put away his phone.

“Well then, Director Lin. I think you can be of use to us. Let’s talk.” Secretary Li handed over his business card like he did every time he held a business meeting. It was like a ritual.

“Luya Group…” Lin Mu’s hand took the business card and trembled involuntarily. The thin piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Fear rose in Lin Mu’s heart.. Lu Zhao had caught on! He was in trouble!
