Chapter 102 You guessed I wanted to kill you?
The meeting place arranged by Chen Jue was a villa in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.
The place is quite remote; looking around, there is only this one house in the entire mountain forest.
It is indeed a good place to kill and bury the body.
Even Didi refused to accept the order, so Lin Sui had no choice but to pay double the fare and silently blame Chen Jue for it.
The villa is in the Gothic architectural style, with a very eerie atmosphere reminiscent of a dark, ancient castle.
This made Lin Sui unconsciously think of Tangxi.
If she were here, the villa would surely be as classic and romantic as a fairytale castle.
I wonder if they're awake yet.
Fearing potential side effects, she didn't use much of the drug.
If they wake up and find they've fallen for her trick, will they go crazy with anger?
Lin Sui wasn't sure about the others, but she thought Lu Xiang definitely would.
After all, when no one else is around, her temper is like a dazzling firework, easily ignited and explosive.
Lin Sui thought that after she finished this matter, she would probably have to coax Lu Xiang properly.
We arrived at the villa gate at exactly eight o'clock.
It was pitch black inside, as if there was no one there, or rather... no living people.
The moon was hidden behind the clouds, and only the two streetlights at the entrance shone dimly.
In the distance, amidst the dark, inky mountains and forests, the occasional bird call could be heard, creating a sense of vastness and remoteness.
Lin Sui pushed open the unlocked iron gate and slowly walked into the villa filled with resentment.
"Squeak-"
The gate opened automatically as Lin Sui approached.
At the same time, dim candlelight flickered, accompanied by melodious jazz music, guiding Lin Sui to the restaurant.
Chen Jue sat at one end of the table, which was covered with roses. The candlelight, placed at an angle, illuminated half of his face, casting a dark shadow on the other half, giving him an inexplicably sinister look.
Hearing footsteps, Chen Jue looked up and smiled slightly: "Miss Lin, you've arrived right on time."
Yu Cinian also liked to laugh, and no matter what happened, that smiling mask always remained on his face.
Lin Sui initially found it strange, but now, compared to Chen Jue... Yu Cinian's smile is really beautiful.
"For a first date, I didn't know what to do, so I could only prepare the old-fashioned candlelight dinner."
As Chen Jue spoke, he got up and went to the other side, pulling out a chair for Lin Sui: "I hope Miss Lin won't find it offensive."
"Then I regret to inform you that I don't like telling lies." Lin Sui didn't refuse; she sat down and bluntly stated, "I find it very distasteful."
Chen Jue was dressed in a white tailcoat, which made him look even more elegant and handsome.
He touched his nose and said helplessly, "Is that so? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Miss Lin will just have to make do and have dinner with me."
Lin Sui: "Do as you please."
The dining table is short, within arm's reach.
Chen Jue carefully sliced the steak and pushed it towards Lin Sui, saying, "I cooked this myself, Miss Lin, would you like to try it?"
"I cultivate Taoism, I don't eat beef." Lin Sui didn't even glance at it.
"Is that so?" Chen Jue was not annoyed by the rejection, but said quietly, "It seems that Miss Lin doesn't care much about your friends."
Lin Sui immediately sensed the threat in the words.
Before coming here, she had wondered if Chen Jue had also awakened and foreseen the plot of the novel.
Until she saw Chen Jue's face, she was certain that he hadn't awakened, but rather that someone had told him.
As for whether that person could read faces and tell fortunes like her, or whether they had mastered the entire novel, or had the ability to foresee the future, she had no idea.
She couldn't figure out what that person had told Chen Jue.
This made Lin Sui slightly irritated.
She doesn't care if someone targets her, but if it affects Si Xingran and the others, she dislikes and even hates being in such a passive position.
"Miss Lin isn't afraid I'll poison her again, is she?" Chen Jue raised an eyebrow. "Whether I've poisoned her or not, Miss Lin can figure it out, right?"
Lin Sui: "It can be calculated. I just don't like what you give me."
Chen Jue was taken aback, then chuckled softly as if he had heard a joke.
After a long while, he crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, squinting as he looked at Lin Sui: "That person said that you should have guessed that I wanted to kill you, and it seems that it is true."
Lin Sui: "...Actually, I wasn't sure at first, but I'm sure now."
The plot has changed a lot. Lin Siyao did not become an overnight sensation by relying on her intelligence in solving cases, as in the novel.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have attracted Chen Jue.
Therefore, there was no reason to kill her in order to attract Lin Siyao's attention.
Especially on the show, he didn't say a single word to Lin Siyao, but instead showed great interest in her.
"If you want to kill me, you need a reason," Lin Sui said sincerely. "May I ask why?"
Chen Jue smiled and said, "You let me be tormented by the curses all night, watching me die without offering any help. Is that reason enough?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sui couldn't help but look at his lips, which were covered with a thick layer of scabs.
She immediately became respectful: "Actually, I was just testing whether Mr. Chen could resist the temptation and resolutely refuse to become a lackey in times of war."
"As it turns out, Mr. Chen is indeed capable of great things."
Chen Jue: "..."
His smile faded slightly, and he scrutinized Lin Sui several times: "You're not trying to make excuses for yourself, hoping I'll let you go, are you?"
"Is it not allowed?" Lin Sui asked back, then said seriously, "Actually, I'm very afraid of dying."
"So you still dared to come alone? Or are you deliberately stalling for time, waiting for their rescue?"
After Chen Jue finished speaking, he felt it was unreasonable. If she was really waiting for rescue, there was no need for her to come alone.
Since she chose to go to the appointment alone, it means that she never intended for those five people to know about it.
In fact, he was quite surprised when he first heard that they were the same kind of people as him.
I also have some regrets because I withdrew from the program too early and missed the opportunity to have in-depth conversations with them.
How exciting would it be if the six of them could organize a hunting game together?
Chen Jue's adrenaline surged just thinking about it.
It's a pity that once he kills Lin Sui, they are destined to become enemies.
Chen Jue was still feeling regretful when he suddenly heard Lin Sui admit it very readily: "Yes, I was indeed stalling for time."
"What..." Chen Jue didn't hear clearly and was about to ask when he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.
A numbing sensation started from the soles of my feet and spread upwards, gradually engulfing my entire body at a slow but clear pace.
Chen Jue suddenly realized something and stared at Lin Sui in shock: "You, when did you...?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly tried to stand up to get rid of this terrible feeling, but he couldn't muster any strength and fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Sui pushed back her chair, stood up, walked over to him, and half-squatted down: "If you want to kill me, shouldn't you at least investigate me thoroughly before you take any action?"
"I think you probably don't expect that, besides my methods for dealing with ghosts and monsters, I'm also quite adept at dealing with people."
"Or do you think that as a heart patient, I don't need to be on guard at all, and that you don't need to waste too much of your energy?"
