Chapter 1346: Sharp‑tongued, Proud & Spoiled Entertainer & Super‑Rich Insecure Wife 23

Jin Chen took out the white paper stacked in the box, densely filled with the teenager's accusatory diary.

Lin Cheng and Xiang Xiaoyu leaned in to look, the camera zoomed in on the paper, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

Although as they expected, the butler was not the young master's true lover, they never imagined that the butler's seemingly painful, deep affection actually stemmed from repeatedly molesting the young master.

The young master was forced into a painful life; only on days when the butler was absent from the estate could he enter the garden for a brief escape from pain.

And the old master's traditional, feudal thinking did not allow the young master to speak the truth; he could only endure torment day after day.

The young master also wrote in his diary that his suffering appeared to outsiders as a mere relapse of illness, yet what the illness brought him was precisely a fleeting, beautiful joy amid the pain.

"How come I don't get this?" Lin Cheng wondered, "Why would being sick make him happy?"

Jin Chen: "Because only when he's ill can he meet his lover."

Lin Cheng shook his head.

"Do I look like I understood?"

Jin Chen put the diary back, and all the fragmented clues pieced together into a net, gradually revealing the truth.

"The young master's lover is his second personality, namely that older brother."

Shen Shi blinked, recalling those sweet nothings from the restaurant, then suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Lin Cheng and Xiang Xiaoyu: "…ah?"

At that moment, in the estate hall, Chu Yin, watching the room's surveillance, muttered: "……How is that possible?!"

〈Ah?? What second personality? 〉

〈What is this? I'm still immersed in the diary's sorrow; how did I just snap back to hear such shocking words? 〉

〈How did Jin Chen deduce that from the diary? We weren't looking at the same diary, were we? 〉

Jin Chen showed them the photos on his phone, "Those few lines of sweet talk in the restaurant—each one is unattainable love, impossible to touch."

"Also the mirror and the flowers on the ground—if the lover is an alternate personality, they share the same body, so the young master can only see him in the mirror, and the flowers on the floor are daffodils."

Lin Cheng dug up the restaurant's sweet talk again.

Only the soul understands your familiar ache and romance; may we be each other's correct answer.

You are the possibility I can never possess.

Our love is even more natural than dying together.

In the endless river of solitude, only life and you are eternal.

Xiang Xiaoyu sighed and shook her head, "If the lover is an alternate personality, these seemingly nonsweet nothings can actually be explained."

Shen Shi: "So the real killer was the alternate personality that then held control of the body; after the old master was killed, the young master committed suicide."

Based on the case premise, the young master's eventual suicide also took place in the garden.

〈Holy cow, the only scumbag in the show turned out to be the butler! 〉

〈Waaah, it's all the butler's fault for being too charming! Can't we stop letting handsome guys play villains from now on?! 〉

〈Now looking back at the butler's cut, it's genuinely creepy—he knows all the young master's favorite tunes; he must have been surveilling him for ages! 〉

The final truth was brought out by Jin Chen, and the Sincere Heart Towards Rain Team willingly admitted defeat.

Jin Chen took Shen Shi's hand and left the bedroom, facing the corridor's accusatory camera.

"Congratulations to both of you, you successfully reconstructed the truth of the case and correctly identified the culprit."

"After this episode ends, you will both successfully receive the couple's grand gift package from the production team; please keep an eye out for it～"

——

Zhuang Zhuang Yuan Zhuang Yuan hall.

According to the rules, Chu Yin and Cheng Yi, who were the first to fail in identifying the culprit, must accept punishment.

As for the Steady Rise Team, which also failed to identify the culprit, because An Yun lost emotional control, the two withdrew from filming early.

Even before Jin Chen pointed out the culprit, the director team had received a warning from Chu Yin's company, roughly meaning that someone stood behind Chu Yin, telling the director team to know when to stop.

But they already have Shen Shi as a big backer!

No matter how powerful the forces behind Chu Yin, could they possibly rival the Shen Shi Group? The director team declared they'd go all out, no fear!

The prepared questions weren't fake either; they were still a leak from a mysterious paparazzo known as "77 Handsome Guy," and buying out the leak cost them quite a bit.

"Now is the secret leak segment; please, Chu Yin and Cheng Yi, answer the following question face‑to‑face: according to the production team's understanding, you two seem to have signed some agreement before joining the show? Could you conveniently tell everyone what the agreement entails?"

Chu Yin's pupils contracted slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Cheng Yi, whose expression likewise shifted; both were shocked inside.

The fact that they signed a CP contract is known only to their agents; how could the production team have found out about this!

Before the camera, every subtle expression is impossible to hide; Chu Yin pinched his fingertips, quickly adjusted his emotions—professional acting chops aren't for show.

He helplessly shook his head and gave a light laugh, "Looks like nothing can be hidden from the production team."

"Actually it's a no‑argue agreement; Xiao Yi usually feels I often provoke his anger, and he says getting angry on camera looks ugly, so we signed the agreement to guarantee we won't argue on the show."

Jin Chen stood behind them, raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth twitched, then hastily composed his expression and glanced at the camera.

Then he glanced at Chu Yin—this guy really outdoes him at making things up.

Still, this method is pretty good; note it down in a little notebook.

When Shen Shi wants to argue later, he can also draw up one to sign.

Jin Chen nodded to himself, took Shen Shi's hand and held it.

〈Never mind whether Chu Yin's words are true or false; the Jin Chen behind him just can't keep a straight face, hahahaha〉

〈Who can save my funny bone? Jin Chen's micro‑expressions are just too rich!! 〉

〈Jin Chen's expression looks like this: O_o？〉

〈The production team probably won't treat this as a big leak, right? Last season's results were truly spectacular—they outright exposed the third party! 〉

〈Same upstairs! This agreement must be something else; Chu Yin reacts fast, and Cheng Yi's expression is really weird—they almost couldn't keep up with the conversation. 〉

〈You're already on this kind of show, still trying to hide things—the director team will teach you how to be human）dog head〉

Sure enough, after Chu Yin's urgent reaction, the Director Team's speaker in the lobby sounded again.

According to the leak, signing the agreement seems related to being a couple—are you really sure about your answer?

Chu Yin: "……"

You've checked everything—what are you still asking?

He gritted his teeth, his face darkened, secretly annoyed that the Director Team was being so extreme.

Chu Yin's voice turned cold: "It's just a no‑argument agreement—believe it or not."

Cheng Yi also hurriedly put on a smile to explain, "Sorry for causing the misunderstanding."

Okay, thank you both for your answers. The Program Team will stay true to its original intention of sincerely producing this variety show, and will post the full leak on Weibo after the live broadcast ends.

Quick, release it! The gossip‑lovers are already ready!

I wasn't curious at all about this couple's thing; just for Jin Chen's expression I also want to know how explosive the truth is.
