Chapter 84 — Murder Mystery Script: "Who Is the One I Love?" (Part 3)

After finishing the livestream, Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran) opened the private messages from the top supporter, Lone Wolf of Xijing.
The chat page contained only a single sentence.
Lone Wolf of Xijing: Contact info—28Jaso
839948
Jiang Qingyue opened WeChat and added him as a friend.
Soon, the other party accepted her friend request.
This was Jiang Qingyue’s first time making further contact with Lone Wolf of Xijing.
Previously, she had only responded to a few of his messages in the livestream, barely even small talk.
Yet this mysterious benefactor visited every one of her streams, showering her with ten carnivals each time.
Jiang Qingyue had wondered why Lone Wolf of Xijing was so “devoted” to her.
But she was too shy to ask.
He never requested her contact information, and she never offered it.
If there was an opportunity, she would take it gladly.
If the top supporter was willing to give, she would accept with a smile.
After Lone Wolf of Xijing approved her friend request,
the top of the chat window showed “the other party is typing.”
She waited a long time, but nothing came.
Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran) habitually opened his Moments.
!!!!
“Jiang Luoyu?!”
Lone Wolf of Xijing had only five posts.
Two ID photos and one work photo.
The other two were links to history articles.
Jiang Qingyue opened the first post—a work photo from two days ago.
She suddenly saw Huang Qin’s like.
“So Lone Wolf of Xijing is Jiang Luoyu?”
“Huang Qin really knows Jiang Luoyu?”
Knock, knock, knock—
The dormitory door was rapped.
“Come in.”
A woman dressed smartly in a black suit strode in.
“You’re Jiang Qingyue?”
Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran) stood up, tossing her phone onto the desk.
“That’s me. What’s the matter?”
The woman glanced at the phone on the desk,
still on the chat page with Lone Wolf of Xijing.
“I’m the secretary to the president of Chaoyang Films. Our president asked me to inform you: Jiang Luoyu is Miss Huang’s fiancé. He hopes your feelings for Jiang Luoyu remain strictly those of student and teacher. Please do not overstep.”
“You’re saying Jiang Luoyu is Huang Qin’s fiancé?”
Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran) rose from her chair, her cold eyes narrowed, her aura dark.
Wearing slippers, she approached the suited woman step by step.
“Are you sure?”
The NPC in the suit was suddenly intimidated by the icy force emanating from the woman before her.
She faltered, sneaking a glance at the chief director outside.
The NPC hadn’t expected the player to be so immersed, and now she felt a bit flustered.
Is it confirmed or not???
“Hm?”
Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran) narrowed her eyes, the chill piercing straight through.
“I’m sure. Jiang Luoyu is indeed our Miss’s fiancé, a business arrangement.”
The NPC answered with professional gravity, though inwardly she was panicking.
“They won’t be getting married in a few days, will they?”
Jiang Qingyue (Mu Ran)’s eyes remained unruffled as she turned to pick up her phone.
She lowered her head and sent a message to Lone Wolf of Xijing.
As she typed, the NPC’s voice rang out, sharp with surprise.

“How did you know?”
The woman holding her phone let her lips curve into a wider smile, her eyes lowered. “Just a guess.”
“You can leave now. I won’t touch my best friend’s man.”
The NPC nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Task finally accomplished.
“Ding—”
A WeChat notification sounded.
Lone Wolf of Xijing sent a voice message.
Lone Wolf of Xijing: [My name is Chen Jingsheng, not Jiang Luoyu.]
Jiang Qingyue had originally intended to block this top supporter.
But the man’s voice was completely different from that of Professor Jiang Luoyu, rougher and more magnetic.
Mu Ran mused: Where did they find this voice actor? His voice is even better than Gu Beicheng’s.
Jiang Qingyue: [Do you know Huang Qin?]
The man replied instantly: [I don’t.]
The next moment, he sent another voice message, asking to call Jiang Qingyue.
Without hesitation, Jiang Qingyue declined.
Chen Jingsheng, the top supporter, didn’t insist. They chatted briefly by text.
Mu Ran, playing Jiang Qingyue, responded absent-mindedly, bored, waiting for the man to provide some critical plot information.
Sure enough—
He suddenly sent another voice message: [Qingyue, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?]
Mu Ran nearly dropped her phone upon hearing it.
Was the plot really this intense?
The top supporter suddenly confessed?
How was she supposed to reply?
There was no such scene in the script!
DM Hua Rujin entered the room: [The player now has two choices: one, accept the supporter’s confession; two, reject it.]
Wasn’t that obvious?
Mu Ran chuckled, her once-cool face now filled with amusement.
She glanced again at the chat history, then raised her chin to meet Hua Rujin’s gaze. “What’s the consequence of accepting? And what happens if I refuse?”
A hint of a smile flickered in Hua Rujin’s clear eyes, his pale pink lips curving slightly. “I can’t tell you directly. The plot will diverge completely depending on your choice.”
Most would think this supporter was absurd—just spending a bit of money, hoping to win a girlfriend…
They would surely refuse!
But Mu Ran was never one for the ordinary path.
“I choose… to accept the supporter’s confession.”
DM Hua Rujin: [Very well. The player may communicate their choice directly via WeChat.]
The scene shifted—to a classroom in the school,
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) and Jiang Qingze (Lan Yanzhi) sat face-to-face.
Their eyes darted about.
Wei Xingran signaled: Say something!
Lan Yanzhi raised his brows: Why don’t you speak?
Neither knew what was coming next.
Moments earlier, the two men had been led into this empty classroom by the production staff.
DM Hua Rujin entered, holding two papers.
“These are tests for schizophrenia. Please fill them out.”
Wei Xingran: “??”
Lan Yanzhi: “???”
Did they look like they had schizophrenia?
Wei Xingran’s left eyelid twitched violently. He grabbed the test, grumbling, “First it was brain cancer, now schizophrenia, and a wretched ex-boyfriend? Why is my character so miserable this round?”
He seized the pen and filled out the form furiously, then slammed it onto the desk a minute later. “I’m not being difficult. I just feel bad for Ye Qiao, you know.”
Wei Xingran, ever the actor,
now looked at the camera with teary eyes, even feigning a tear wipe.
DM Hua Rujin’s lips curled slightly, patiently addressing Wei Xingran, “Player, your character isn’t necessarily schizophrenic. Among the five player characters, one is.”
“Then it must be Mu Ran’s character. What do you think, Lan Yanzhi?”

Wei Xingran was convinced that Mu Ran’s character, Jiang Qingyue, was the schizophrenic.
“Xingran, say something.”
Lan Yanzhi’s eyes darted, and he smiled in agreement at Wei Xingran.
“Just a hunch. Feels like Mu Ran’s character is intense.”
Wei Xingran made his wild guess with utmost seriousness.
Lan Yanzhi: “……”
“Why not say Mu Ran herself is intense?”
Wei Xingran and Hua Rujin nodded in unison, lips pressed together.
Hard not to agree.
DM Hua Rujin: [Next, the players have separate tasks. Ye Qiao, head to Jiang Luoyu’s office. Jiang Qingze, go to the girls’ dorm to find your sister Jiang Qingyue and tell her to go to Jiang Luoyu’s office.]
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) stood with a gloomy face and left.
Lan Yanzhi: Truly competitive, gets into character fast.
Arriving at Jiang Luoyu’s office door,
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) didn’t knock but barged straight in.
“Uncle.”
The man typing on his phone paused, frowned, and snapped coldly at Ye Qiao standing in the doorway, “Get out!”
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) chuckled, leaning against the doorframe, his face pale. “Uncle, why are you so moody? One moment gentle, the next harsh—how’s my future aunt Huang Qin supposed to cope with you!”
As he spoke, Ye Qiao sat beside Jiang Luoyu (Gu Beicheng), eyes drifting to the other’s phone. “Chatting with my aunt?”
“Who told you I’m marrying her?”
Jiang Luoyu (Gu Beicheng) radiated coldness, clearly unwilling to hear Huang Qin’s name from Ye Qiao.
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) let out a rare serious laugh, his melancholic gaze scrutinizing Jiang Luoyu. “Yesterday you told me you liked Huang Qin, thought she was pure. You didn’t object to the family arrangement. Why the sudden change?”
Ye Qiao and Jiang Luoyu rarely spoke, but lately Jiang Luoyu had proactively asked him for advice on how to please a girl.
“Who said I liked Huang Qin?”
Jiang Luoyu (Gu Beicheng)’s gaze was now wholly different from his earlier classroom demeanor—he smiled, the curve of his lips mocking.
Not just his smile, even his eyes were sharp as knives, his tone icy and hostile.
“Uncle, are you okay? You told me you were preparing to marry her—I was supposed to be your best man!”
Ye Qiao became agitated, his head throbbing, vision blurring.
Seeing Ye Qiao in such pain, Jiang Luoyu’s eyes softened with concern. “Don’t get worked up. Your illness…”
“It’s fine, Uncle. I know my condition.”
Ye Qiao shook his head stubbornly.
“Alright.”
Jiang Luoyu now was completely different from the one Ye Qiao had seen a few days ago.
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) began to suspect the man might have schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia???
Wei Xingran gazed at the man before him, suddenly enlightened.
So the schizophrenic character was Cheng Beigu’s “Jiang Luoyu”!
“What’s your name?”
The man glanced at Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran), then resumed looking at his phone, his voice husky and magnetic. “Chen Jingsheng.”
!!
Wei Xingran saw the truth!
Cheng Beigu’s character was the schizophrenic!
He had noticed the man’s voice was different from Jiang Luoyu’s original tone.
Who knew the president of Chengxing Group was also a voice actor?
“You don’t know me?”
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran) pointed at himself.
“He’s your uncle.”
Ye Qiao (Wei Xingran): “He?”
Chen Jingsheng (Gu Beicheng): “Jiang Luoyu.”
“So you don’t like Huang Qin?”
Was the schizophrenia so severe—he no longer liked the woman he once did?
“Mm, I like Jiang Qingyue.”
