"F**k we were so close!"
"Have you checked her background. How could she have known about the incident prior to everything?" Lu Wan Yun glanced at the photo of a young woman.
The woman appeared to be no older than twenty. Her looks were alluring, there was something unique about her eyes. They were clear and glistening... Like a sky full of stars at night... They were so deep, one could lose himself in them forever.
"Shen Yue..." Lu Wan Yun read the name.
His heart skipped a beat.
"There is nothing suspicious about her background." His henchman, Wang Zhan said. "Her mother is a Shen Ying, the daughter of Shen Haixiong. According to the data, the whereabouts of her father is unknown. She was an illegitimate daughter. Because of her birth, her mother Shen Ying was excluded from the family. Since then, she has been living with her mother in a rented house. As for her profession, she is a young actress who has just started her career. She is just... a normal human"
Wang Zhan gave a brief introduction.
"Good" Lu Wang Yun smiled. His handsome feature lit up immediately. "Tail her for a few days. If nothing suspicious is noted, take her back."
They could not take action blindly.
Even though it was an open secret that the explosion incident was caused by the Lu family, they could not leave behind concrete evidence.
If Gu brothers get their hands on irrefutable evidence, Lu Wan Yun would get in trouble.
"Yes, Young Master Lu!"

After getting into the office of her manager, Shen Yue was immediately confronted.
"Where the f**k did you disappear last night?" Zhao Mi shouted.
Shen Yue's eyes were cold.
The incident about Gu Bingwen was immediately suppressed so it was natural Zhao Mi didn't know. In fact, the only reason Shen Yue knew was that she was at the accident place in her previous life.
"I had already told you I was not going to accept the role." She spoke calmly.
Zhao Mi was not surprised to hear this. but that doesn't mean she wasn't enraged.
"Shen Yue, rejecting every role I get for you, aren't you being a little bit too arrogant?" Zhao Mi adjusted her glasses. The woman before her was making her lose her temper.
Damn it! Do you think you are above everything just because you got a little fame from your last shoot?
There wasn't a ripple of fear on Shen Yue's expressions. She was calm as still water. That was strange considering the fact that Shen Yue was a newbie. If newbies lacked anything then that was the confidence. Facing their managers, they would shrink like terrified kittens. However looking at Shen Yue, it gave others the feeling as if she was an experienced actress.
That made Zhao Mi unable to suppress her.
"Zhao Mi, you are forcing me to take all those explicit roles in such dramas." She said. Then her lips curled up slightly. "What exactly is your purpose?"
Zhao Mi was startled. "What else my purpose can be? You are a newbie. Do you thing roles come easily to you? Do you think you can climb higher by just sitting and doing nothing? You have to take a few minor roles to sharpen your experience first. Only once you have past experience, would you be cast for better roles."
Shen Yue sneered in her heart.
'Tsk. Tsk. If it was me back in my previous life, I would have fallen for your words. But who are you trying to fool now.'
'My past experience is already enough to cast me for the lead roles. Many directors have contacted you to cast me in better roles but you have never let them near me.'
"Shen Yue, drop your nonsense. We admit you have some nice looks but how long they can last you in the entertainment circle?" One of Zhan Mi assistant spoke up for her.
"She is being too arrogant. With the attitude of hers, she is going to lose a little bit of fame she has."
"I would actually like to see that. This is might be a good lesson for her arrogance."
"Let's see how long is she going to survive by rejecting each and every role Manager Zhao so diligently prepare for her."
"Truly what is so arrogant about? No one knows her... If things go on like this, it is a matter of time before the company abandons her."
Once all the people criticized her openly, Zhao Mi laughed coldly in her heart.
However, over her face, she formed an amiable look.
"Shen Yue, I know we had our differences. But as your manager, it is natural I want the best for you. I am just looking out for you. Why don't you take this role?"
Amongst all the words from those little assistants, Shen Yue was like an unshakable boulder. Their words hadn't affected her smile in the slightest.
However, listening to Zhao Mi words, Shen Yue was impressed.
'Zhao Mi, you deserve an Oscar. Your acting is superb. No wonder you were able to fool me in my last life.'
'However, this time, things are different.'
