Lu Shijin knocked on the door of Rong Zhi's room, and Rong Zhi came out to answer the door in his nightgown.

Lu Shijin noticed that his hair was wet, and jokingly said, "Why did you take a shower before it was night? Could it be that you washed it specially because you knew I was coming?"

Rong Zhi closed the door, ignoring Lu Shijin's indecency, "Tonight may be a sleepless night, if I don't wash now, I'm afraid I won't have time to wash."

Lu Shijin curled his lips disapprovingly. He never forgot to take a bath at such a critical moment. It seems that cleanliness is really serious.

There was a new set of clothes on the bed, it should be that Rong Zhi was going to change after taking a shower.

He didn't bother to go to the bathroom to change clothes. In front of Landing Shijin, he picked up the suit pants, bent down and pulled off the pajamas robe and put them on his legs.

The man's legs are long and slender, and they are a healthy wheat color. The muscles are strong and look very explosive. The legs are pulled in. Lu Shijin's eyes moved up with the movement of the man's trouser waist, and he saw a pair of black boxer shorts. The shorts wrapped The curves that live are very sexy and make people excited.

After putting on his trousers, Rong Zhi took off his nightgown as if no one else was there, and casually threw it on the bed, revealing his perfect inverted triangle figure. , is likely to have a nosebleed, pretending to look away as if nothing had happened.

Rong Zhi buttoned his shirt slowly, as if he didn't think there was any problem changing clothes in front of Lu Shijin at all, which made Lu Shijin doubt whether Rong Zhi did it on purpose.

He obviously just told him that he is gay, and even changed his clothes in front of him. Isn't this Chi Guoguo's seduction, challenging his self-control

Lu Shijin is very melancholy, it's a pity, no matter how tempted he is, he can't do anything else, who made them two brothers now.

Rong Zhi suddenly asked Lu Shijin: "You left alone just now, what were you doing?"

Lu Shijin turned to look at him, the man's shirt had been buttoned to the top, and he couldn't see anything, Lu Shijin couldn't help pursing his lower lip feeling a little regretful.

Let’s say he didn’t do it on purpose, but the seduction scene just now shouldn’t be too obvious, but he did it on purpose. Now there are only the two of them in the room, and now they are dressed so tightly. It’s hard to guess what this man is thinking. Ruthless!

But thinking about it now is a bit inappropriate, Lu Shijin pondered for a while, and decided to tell Rong Zhi the clues he found.

"I actually found something in Mr. Lu's study, that's why I left with an excuse."

Rong Zhi: "What?"

Lu Shijin took the photo out of his pocket and shook it, "It's an old photo."

Rong Zhi walked over to look, somewhat puzzled: "A woman and two children? Who are they?"

"Obviously, this is a mother with two children. I just found out their identities. These two children are—" Lu Shijin didn't pretend to be a fool, pointing to himself and then to Rong Zhi, "You and I, woman It's our mother."

Rong Zhi's brows twisted into the word "Chuan".

"Didn't you expect that?" Lu Shijin twitched his mouth exaggeratedly, and said cheerfully, "We are actually half-brothers!"

Rongzhi: "..."

"Looking at your expression, do you think I'm joking with you?" Lu Shijin restrained his smile and asked seriously.

Rong Zhi didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows, obviously expressing doubts.

Lu Shijin suppressed his laughter, and told the story that Xu Chen had inquired from the housekeeper with Rong Zhi. At the end, he sighed: "May all lovers in the world become brothers and sisters, and sincerely do not deceive me!"

"Lover?" Rong Zhi leaned on the back of the sofa where Lu Shijin was sitting, looking down at him with deep eyes.

Lu Shijin patted his mouth lightly, shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, just kidding."

Rong Zhi's face was expressionless, he didn't seem to think the joke was funny, his gaze was still deep.

Lu Shijin felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and quietly moved his buttocks to stagger the distance, "Come back to business, this way, I probably understand my character's murderous intentions for the old man, he may have known about his mother and the old man back then First, the old man is the third party in his parents' relationship, and he is also the culprit who indirectly made his mother depressed and died early. Second, when he was used to being the young master of the Lu family, suddenly one day, the old man forced him to Recognizing a murderer he had never seen since he was born as his father made him feel that Mr. Lu did not really treat himself as a son for so many years, and raised him just to forgive sins, so he resented Mr. Lu. Murderous intent. But there is one more thing I can't figure out."

Rong Zhi lowered his head and listened carefully to Lu Shijin's words. Hearing this, he raised his head, "What's the matter?"

Lu Shijin: "It stands to reason that my killing the old man has nothing to do with the inheritance. It is purely a personal grievance. I can kill him whenever I want, but why did I choose to do it the night before? Is it a sudden passion to kill? The reason? This I have been unable to figure it out, and I have a hunch that the answer to this question is the key to unlocking the truth."

"Your reasoning makes sense." Rong Zhi nodded in agreement.

Lu Shijin looked at him and smiled, "Actually, I still have one question that I don't understand, that is, why did you harm the old man? You are his own son, and you must have a share of the inheritance, so why do you still want to harm him?"

Rong Zhi went to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took out a thick notebook, came back and sat down next to Lu Shijin, and put the notes on the glass tea table, "On the first night, after the dinner, Mr. Lu asked I went to his room, do you remember?"

Lu Shijin nodded.

Rong Zhi pointed to the black cover of the notebook and said, "He gave it to me, and the reasons are all on it."

Lu Shijin picked up his notebook and flipped through it. There was a list recorded on it. Although Lu Shijin had never heard of a single name, judging from the profiles of the people on the list, they should be some managers within the Lu Group.

"Who are these people?" Lu Shijin closed his notebook and asked Rongzhi suspiciously.

Rong Zhi: "I have close contacts with me in the group, and they support my company's middle and senior management from a standpoint."

Lu Shijin: "Oh, I see. You wanted to cultivate your own power in the company, but the old man found out."

"Yes," Rong Zhi said lightly, "that night, the old man took this list and warned me that if I was eager to form a clique before I had established a firm foundation in the company, I would be squeezed out by other shareholders, so he didn't plan to sell the company. Leave it to me, but a professional manager to take care of it. After leaving the room, I received instructions from the APP to go to the kitchen to mess with the food prepared for Mr. Lu. I guess I was dissatisfied because of this. "

"Do you think there are other reasons?" Lu Shijin rested his chin and pondered for a while, "The young master who was supposed to be the most respectable and precious son of the Lu family became an orphan adopted by someone in an orphanage by accident. He was just found to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, doesn't he have any resentment in his heart?"

Rong Zhi was silent for a moment, "What are you doubting?"

Lu Shijin didn't know what to say, could he just say "I suspect you may be the murderer"

It hurts feelings, but also hurts brains.

"Looking at the current situation, who do you think the murderer will be?" Lu Shijin changed his tactful way, carefully glanced at Rong Zhi and asked tentatively.

Rong Zhi: "It's hard to say."

Lu Shijin complained: It's so obvious that it's hard to say, are you hard to say or do you have a ghost in your heart that you don't want to say

Lu Shijin's mood became dull. He wanted to unravel the truth that had troubled him for a long time, but he was also afraid that it would become a lingering nightmare after it was revealed.

"It must not be you." Lu Shijin's voice was muffled, and he covered his mouth after he finished speaking, surprised to realize that he had spoken his heart unconsciously.

Rong Zhi could hear Lu Shijin's overtones, "You doubt me?"

Lu Shijin: "..." How should he explain it

But Rong Zhi didn't seem to be angry, his Adam's apple twitched, and the arc of the corner of his mouth was lowered for a moment, "You doubt me, so you still dare to come to my room? Are you not afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

Lu Shi shrank back into the back of the sofa: "... If you have such a plan, then I can only admit it, but I still believe you are not."

"But your eyes tell me that you are afraid." Rong Zhi tilted his upper body, leaning towards Lu Shijin oppressively.

"No, no."

Lu Shijin stuttered, instinctively aware of the danger, his back muscles couldn't help but tense, but he kept telling himself to be steady and not to act rashly, he believed that even if Rong Zhi was the murderer, he would not attack him, after all, if he wanted to If you start, you have already died more than ten times.

Rong Zhi saw the tension and guard in Lu Shijin's eyes, and suddenly raised one hand. Like a frightened bird, Lu Shijin immediately raised his arms and crossed himself in front of him in a self-defense motion, but Rongzhi's hand didn't move towards Lu Shijin at all. While stretching, he just loosened the collar of his shirt, while looking at Lu Shijin with a half-smile.

Lu Shijin: "..." So embarrassing.

"No? Then what are you doing now? Do you think I will hit you?" Rong Zhi asked leisurely.

Lu Shijin put down his hands awkwardly, "Well, you know the conditioned reflex, the subconscious reaction is not something I can control if I want to." He raised his eyelids as he spoke, and looked at Rong Zhi, the man's expression was still unpredictable , and asked without knowing it, "You shouldn't really hit me, right?"

Rong Zhi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a moment.

"Since when did you start to doubt me?" He asked back.

"Just... after the results of the second round of voting came out..." Lu Shijin blinked, "Actually, it's pretty obvious, the murderer is among the few of us who didn't vote, anyone could be." And you are the most suspicious.

Of course, Lu Shijin didn't dare to say the last sentence.

"So you doubt me?" Rong Zhi turned his face to the side, his side face was covered with a shadow, his brows and eyes seemed a little lonely, and he said dully, "I thought there was enough trust between us, if even You doubt me, how can this game continue."

Rong Zhi's disappointed tone made Lu Shijin feel that he had committed a heinous crime, as if he had made some unforgivable mistake.

This man, if he's not very good at acting, or knows how to manipulate people's hearts, no matter what, he's terrifying.

Just when Lu Shijin had the urge to repent with Rongzhi and beg him to forgive him, a scream suddenly sounded outside the door—

"Ah—dead! Dead!"

Who died? !

Lu Shijin and Rong Zhi glanced at each other, their faces were frozen, they stood up almost at the same time, opened the door and rushed out together.
