After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Playing the Video, Beginning the Public Execution

At this moment, Lin Fangling only felt her scalp tingle and the hairs on her body stand on end.

How could it be... How could this happen!

Her original plan was flawless—how could such a mishap occur?

Tonight, after deciding to use Chenchen to kill Lu Sheng, Lin Fangling happened to bump into Aunt Chen carrying an incense burner to Lu Sheng’s room.

Lin Fangling had been wondering how to administer the strong sedative to Lu Sheng, when the opportunity conveniently presented itself at her door.

So she directly transferred fifty thousand yuan to Aunt Chen, asking her to spike the incense burner with the drug.

She also instructed Aunt Chen that, regardless of whether the plan succeeded or failed, if anyone investigated, everything should be blamed on Shi Erya.

After all, the incense was sent by Shi Erya.

Lin Fangling hadn’t anticipated that Shi Muchuan would return home at precisely that time tonight, nor did she expect him to catch Shi Luochen stabbing someone with a knife in Lu Sheng’s room.

Not only did Shi Muchuan save Lu Sheng, but he got so furious that he insisted on investigating further and holding people accountable. Given the situation, Lin Fangling had no choice but to throw Shi Erya under the bus.

If Shi Erya had to blame someone, she should blame her own bad luck—who told her to send calming incense to Lu Sheng for no reason?

After all, there were only a few people in the household. Someone had to take the fall, didn’t they?

She was Chenchen’s mother after all—

What kind of mother would lure her own biological child into doing such a thing? Nobody would even think to suspect her.

Initially, seeing how Shi Erya failed to explain herself clearly, Lin Fangling had already relaxed completely.

She thought the matter would blow over just like that.

In a million years, she never would have expected Lu Sheng to suddenly pull out a smartphone that had been propped against the wall and say she had recorded everything that happened in the room tonight.

"Aunt, you truly care about Chenchen! The moment you heard I recorded the real culprit, look at how thrilled you got—your hands are trembling."

The sweet smile on the girl’s face and her tone of voice carried a faint hint of mockery.

Could it be... she already knows? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The girl’s slightly cool hand gripping hers sent a piercing chill, making Lin Fangling shudder involuntarily.

Almost out of instinct, she reached out recklessly to grab Lu Sheng’s phone—

However, Lu Sheng easily shifted the hand holding her phone, pulled back two steps, and looked at Lin Fangling with a gaze full of deep ridicule.

She raised her head, her tone indifferent and icy: "What’s the rush, Aunt? Are you so eager to see the footage of the real culprit on my phone?"

"You, you..."

Lin Fangling’s lips trembled, unable to form a single coherent sentence.

If the footage truly recorded everything and Lu Sheng released it, she’d be destroyed!

But there was no way for her to destroy the phone.

The phone was firmly clutched in Lu Sheng’s hand, and because of her frantic attempt to seize it, everyone else’s attention had now turned toward her.

"Fangling, Shengsheng was already planning to release the video—what’s got you so flustered?" Shi Mingxiu frowned slightly.

Lin Fangling drew in a sharp breath, forcing a smile onto her face, attempting a last-ditch effort—

"Dad... Can we just let this matter go? After all, Lu Sheng didn’t get seriously hurt in the end, and Chenchen must’ve just wandered in while playing. We’re all family—it wouldn’t look good if we blew this out of proportion."

"I’m the victim here. Aunt, what gives you the right to speak for me and say it’s over?"
