Chapter 1445 - Wouldn’t the losses outweigh the gains?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The cause of Jiang Mingzhu’s death was like a buried mine in Du Lingyang’s heart…

Now that Su Manman had openly challenged him and exposed it in front of others, Du Lingyang was going crazy.

Du Lingyang, who was already panicking, only wanted the music sheets now…

He wanted to kill Su Manman to protect his reputation and dignity.

Su Manman had already made preparations. It was all thanks to the fact that she had gotten together with Du Lingyang back then that she understood this person quite well.

Once Du Lingyang had that thought, his action would definitely follow…

Du Lingyang was never a person who dragged his feet.

However, Su Manman was filming now. If she were to stay at the hotel where the crew stayed, Du Lingyang definitely wouldn’t have the chance to take action.

Su Manman guessed that Du Lingyang would take action either when Su Manman obtained Jiang Yishi’s script akin to cutting the Gordian knot, or he would wait until Su Manman left the production crew!

However, Su Manman felt that Du Lingyang would prefer to act immediately.

Therefore, Su Manman couldn’t move to Spell of Fragrance tonight, fearing that she might implicate Shi Hanchu.

This had always been for her own revenge, anyway. Besides, she had owed Shi Hanchu so much in her previous life, so she no longer wanted to implicate Shi Hanchu in this lifetime.

Su Manman posted her selfie on Weibo, saying that she would stay at home for the night.

Su Manman returned home and made a new security guard detail. She assigned the ones protecting her out in the open to protect her in secret. She tried her best to reduce the number of people in the open and even removed them to pave the way for Du Lingyang’s subsequent actions.

Su Manman felt a little regretful that she only cared about losing weight and beauty back then and had not learned any self-defense tactics.

However, if one had to pay the price to achieve their purpose, as long as she made arrangements, there shouldn’t be a problem.

After taking a shower, Su Manman sat in front of the television with her facial mask on. She held the script in her hand, but nothing was getting in.

Originally, Su Manman had planned to wait until she was done filming Director Chen Wenhua’s movie before handling this matter.

Who knew that Du Lingyang would come charging over like a bull? Su Manman didn’t stand on ceremony either…

Therefore, things had to be brought forward, but… if she got injured, she wouldn’t be able to answer to Director Chen Wenhua.

Su Manman could only be extremely careful to avoid getting injured.

As expected, Du Lingyang didn’t disappoint Su Manman. Su Manman had sent someone to keep an eye on Du Lingyang. The person then called Su Manman at 12:30 am, informing her that Du Lingyang had left his residence. When he seemed to be heading to Spell of Fragrance, Su Manman no longer felt sleepy.

She was done with her preparations. The duplicated manuscripts and audio recording equipment were in place. She turned off the lights and lay on the bed, waiting for Du Lingyang to come over.

Now that everything was ready, Su Manman suddenly felt a little nervous…

But there were people protecting her; upstairs, downstairs. and on both sides of her residence.

After getting a new lease on life, Su Manman naturally treasured her life greatly.

So even if she was fully prepared, she was still anxious…

She couldn’t sleep well, and her body tensed up when she heard the sound of the door opening.

She gritted her teeth and got up. She used 100% of her acting skills and pulled open the bedroom door, holding the remote control for the lights in the house in her hands.

The moment she opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, Su Manman switched on all the lights in the room.

Du Lingyang, who had already come in and removed his mask and cap, was stunned. He looked around and finally saw Su Manman.

Su Manman was in her pajamas, looking like she had just gotten up from her sleep.

Du Lingyang gritted his teeth and went straight to the point. “Hand over what you took from Jiang Mingzhu’s mother today!”

“Tsk… are Jiang Yishi’s music sheets that important to you?” Su Manman smiled and walked towards the sofa at a leisurely pace. She crossed her legs and sat there lazily. “But I understand why you’re afraid… After all, if I exposed the music godfather Jiang Yishi’s music sheets, everyone would know that you plagiarized.”

Du Lingyang gripped his bag tightly. Inside the bag… were the tools he could use to take Su Manman’s life.

“Let me guess… you stole Jiang Yishi’s songs from Jiang Mingzhu. You wanted to release them as your own song, but you were afraid Jiang Mingzhu would expose you, so you drugged her and created the illusion of an accident for Jiang Mingzhu. To your surprise, Jiang Mingzhu didn’t die!”

Du Lingyang’s face darkened.

Su Manman was still talking to herself. “The attending physician happened to be your mother, so… did you beg your mother not to treat Jiang Mingzhu and let her die like that?”

Du Lingyang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

“I’m just curious. Don’t you love Jiang Mingzhu very much? Why did you kill her? Just talk to her about these manuscripts… and she might even give them to you,” Su Manman said.

Perhaps because in Du Lingyang’s heart, Su Manman was already a dead person, he didn’t hide it from her…

“Tell Jiang Mingzhu? Would she give it to me? She clearly knew I’m a singer. If she had wanted to give it to me… she would have done so long ago!”

Du Lingyang stood still, holding his heavy black bag tightly.

“After she changed the manuscript, she sent it to me… and said that she wanted to use the songs that her father had written to produce an album! These songs… every one of them can be called classics! She’s already so famous… yet she doesn’t care about me as her boyfriend at all!”

“You’re interesting. Those are her father’s songs. If she wants to release an album, it’s within her rights to do it. Why couldn’t you be happy for her?” Su Manman’s fingers casually played with the couch cushion’s tassels. “You killed Jiang Mingzhu because of this? Don’t you love her?”

“I do love her! But I also love my status and reputation in the music industry!” Du Lingyang held his bag and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Du Lingyang had become fearless. He would definitely kill Su Manman today, so it wasn’t a big deal to reveal more to her.

“Since you claimed to know Jiang Mingzhu, you should already know what kind of person she is! She might have appeared gentle on the surface, but she was actually very stubborn. Do you think she would have agreed if I had told her that I wanted her father’s songs for myself? Based on her personality… she would have broken up with me. Wouldn’t she end up announcing this to the public?”

Du Lingyang raised his brows. “Wouldn’t the losses outweigh the gains? Do you think I’ll be so foolish…”

“So you ended up killing her and stealing her songs?” Su Manman tsked. “I don’t understand why you would choose to drug Jiang Mingzhu and set up a car accident. You clearly know how Jiang Mingzhu’s father died, and what she hates drugs the most. Since you said you were forced to kill her…”
