Chapter 613: Luo Mo's Chain of Provocations

The development of the Drama left Zhong Lin stunned.

"No way, could it be that every episode ends with a high-intensity scene?"

Zhong Lin felt that if she were a viewer following the series, she would be incredibly distressed seeing this.

Because so far, only the storyline involving Lao Chen and Yan Liang had been explained.

Zhu Chaoyang going to take Zhang Dongsheng's class was not broadcast here.

Pupu following Zhu Jingjing was also not broadcast here.

However, Zhu Jingjing just fell from the building!

"Why did she fall?"

"Does it have anything to do with Pupu?"

Honestly, given Zhong Lin's experience, although she felt that the little girl Pupu was particularly cute and endearing, she could still notice some of the rhetorical techniques Pupu used when speaking.

Yes, it was exactly that: rhetorical techniques.

Don't let her young age fool you; she already knew how to use her many advantages to achieve her goals through her words!

To put it bluntly, perhaps it is a bit inappropriate, but some of the traits she possessed would indeed be considered "tea-like" if they were found in an adult woman.

Zhong Lin did not think Pupu was a person of Kindness, at least not as simple and cute as she appeared on the surface.

But she also didn't think the child was that bad; she just believed it had to do with her upbringing.

She had worked in the Review Department for so long and had never seen a drama where a child was the big villain!

Children, after all, having certain traits is normal.

The more these small flaws are shown, the more they can serve as a Warning to society.

—She still underestimated Luo Mo.

Team Leader Zhong couldn't wait to click on the third episode, and sure enough, the title of the third episode was: 【Shaoniangong】.

Right from the start, it began to tell Pupu's storyline, showing her following Zhu Jingjing, then seeing her enter a class at the Shaoniangong to learn Singing, reviewing the song "Little White Boat."

She watched from outside the classroom, lost in fantasy.

On the other side, Zhu Chaoyang was listening to Zhang Dongsheng's trial class.

What was absurd was that he actually... became more and more fascinated as he listened!

He was truly listening to the class seriously, and he had taken it to heart!

The scene switched again; Pupu blocked Zhu Jingjing, who had run out halfway to go to the bathroom, and tricked her by saying she needed to move books, leading her into the attic.

Zhu Chaoyang glanced out the window, happened to see this scene, and his face showed confusion.

The trial class ended at this moment, so he followed up, wanting to see the situation.

In the attic, Pupu gave a Warning to Zhu Jingjing, telling her not to bully people in the future.

The spoiled Zhu Jingjing told her to get away: "Move aside quickly, or when my mom comes later, see how she beats you."

But at this moment, Pupu's eyes and expression were already different from when she usually stayed with Zhu Chaoyang and Yan Liang.

When Zhu Jingjing tried to run, she pushed Zhu Jingjing back.

"This..." Zhong Lin was stunned again.

After repeating this a few times, Zhu Jingjing cowered and became afraid.

Pupu stood there, continuing to give her a Warning.

At this moment, the sound of Zhu Chaoyang's footsteps came, and as soon as Pupu saw him, her eyes changed instantly.

As soon as the crying Zhu Jingjing saw that the person coming was Zhu Chaoyang, she immediately started howling and screaming.

"Good for you, Zhu Chaoyang, so you two are in cahoots; you told her to come and bully me!"

"You two just wait, I'm going to call my dad and have him beat you to death!"

Pupu said angrily: "That is his father too!"

Seeing this, Zhong Lin's heart softened.

"She's just a child, actually she's just standing up for a friend; Pupu is just very concerned about Zhu Chaoyang," she thought.

Zhu Chaoyang was a bit panicked, pulled Pupu, and wanted to leave, saying: "Forget it, Pupu."

As a result, Zhu Jingjing, who had just been very timid in front of Pupu, started to act mighty the moment she saw Zhu Chaoyang.

"You want to leave right after bullying me? I'm going to call the teacher to catch you! Teacher, help! Someone is hitting people!" She shouted while howling and rushed outward.

Pupu immediately blocked her and pushed her back in, and Zhu Jingjing started biting her.

"Do you think no one can see you here?" Zhu Jingjing started walking toward the window and climbed directly up.

Zhu Chaoyang told her to come down, but she wouldn't listen.

She wanted everyone to know that Zhu Chaoyang was bullying her.

"We didn't even do anything!" Zhu Chaoyang said in a panic.

Zhu Jingjing, his half-sister, stood on a stool and shouted: "Aren't you just trying to fight for Dad with me? You're dreaming! He told me himself, he only likes me, he doesn't like you at all!"

The expression on Zhu Chaoyang's face changed in an instant!

"You're lying, say it again!"

"I'll say it, he hates you! Hates you! He just hates you!" the child repeated while crying.

She continued to climb up, leaning toward the window.

"You come down first!" Zhu Chaoyang was still anxious.

"I won't!" Zhu Jingjing turned her head and shouted: "Mind your own business!"

The next moment, the old stool in the attic had a problem, and she fell directly.

Zhu Chaoyang immediately lunged toward the window, and the camera focused on his Back Shadow.

It was very strange; this Back Shadow looking down inexplicably made Zhong Lin feel a bit familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a moment.

All sounds in the Drama blurred at this moment, and Pupu's voice also became unclear.

All Zhong Lin could hear was the sound of Zhu Chaoyang's heavy breathing.

He turned around, covered in sweat, his expression dull; he was completely stunned.

"So, is this how the accidental fall happened?" Zhong Lin thought to herself.

The two children hurriedly slipped away, met up with Yan Liang outside, and left the Shaoniangong.

The three children arrived at their Secret Base just like that.

Yan Liang began to ask what had happened, after all, Zhu Jingjing had fallen right in front of him.

Pupu lowered her head, her small hands clenched together, and said, "I took her to the fifth-floor storage room; I wanted to tell her not to bully people anymore, and then, she saw Brother Chaoyang."

At this moment, the camera cut to Zhu Chaoyang, and his entire body was shrouded in shadow.

"She, she was scolding us while climbing onto the window."

"Later, I don't know how it happened, but she fell down by herself," Pupu said.

"Since she fell down by herself, then it has nothing to do with you two. If we don't talk about this now, it will be even harder to explain later," Yan Liang suggested.

Shrouded in shadow, with only a pair of eyes illuminated by the sunlight filtering through a gap, Zhu Chaoyang spoke: "Can the police believe it, and can my dad believe it?"

"Chaoyang," Yan Liang wanted to say more.

"Even if my dad could believe it, Zhu Jingjing fell because of me; can he forgive me?" Zhu Chaoyang said.

"And Pupu, do you want him to go back to the welfare home?" Zhu Chaoyang asked.

Watching this, Zhong Lin felt that things were becoming increasingly wrong.

"The roles have reversed," she thought to herself.

At first, it was Yan Liang who stopped Zhu Chaoyang from calling the police after seeing Zhang Dongsheng commit the crime on the camera.

Now, it had become Yan Liang wanting to call the police, only to be stopped by Zhu Chaoyang.

And Yan Liang was undoubtedly no match for the top student Zhu Chaoyang; by bringing up the welfare home, he immediately had Yan Liang under his control.

At the same time, the bond and secrets between the three children could be said to be growing ever more numerous.

Watching up to this point, even if Zhong Lin were foolish, she should have understood that the children were the protagonists, not the "plot tools" found in conventional tropes.

Zhu Chaoyang left just like that, while Pupu apologized to Yan Liang, expressing that it was she who had implicated Brother Chaoyang and that it was her fault.

On the other side, Zhu Chaoyang returned home, sat at the desk, and opened a notebook.

The date was written in the top left corner of the notebook; this was clearly a Diary.

He didn't write a single word, just sat there holding the pen.

A drop of blood from his nose suddenly fell onto the Diary.

Zhu Chaoyang wiped his nose with his hand.

His hand—was covered in blood!

Immediately after, he tore out that page of the Diary and went to the bathroom to wash the blood off his hands.

While washing, he looked up into the bathroom mirror.

It was this gaze that made Zhong Lin inexplicably feel a sense of familiarity, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it for a moment.

Just then, Zhu Chaoyang's mother rushed home and told him to hurry up and change his clothes so they could go out together.

Then, she took Zhu Chaoyang to a place, where they happened to witness Wang Yao preventing others from taking away her daughter's body.

The police officer in charge of the case happened to be Ye Jun, the father of Zhu Chaoyang's classmate.

This classmate of his was named Ye Chimin, who always ranked second in exams and could never surpass Zhu Chaoyang.

Ye Jun told Zhu Chaoyang to hurry and comfort his father.

As soon as Zhu Yongping saw his son, he hugged him and wailed loudly.

On the other side, Wang Yao sat on a chair, looking ashen.

Amidst Zhu Yongping's loud crying and the background music, Zhu Chaoyang's mother, Zhou Chunhong, came to Wang Yao's side, but not knowing how to comfort her, she only handed her a tissue.

Every Actor, their expressions, demeanor, and movements were all perfectly executed; their acting was superb.

After returning home, Zhou Chunhong hugged Zhu Chaoyang and cried, saying, "Chaoyang, you must be okay."

Zhu Chaoyang nodded silently.

After returning to his room, he saw a note that Pupu and Yan Liang had slipped through the window gap, which read: "We won't let you lose your dad again."

This indicated that the three children had reached a unified front.

Immediately after, Officer Ye, seeing that Zhu Chaoyang had been to the Shaoniangong that day, even came to their home to ask a few questions.

This made Zhong Lin feel terrified.

Then, the three children met again, as Yan Liang prepared to take Pupu and leave Ha City.

Just as the three children were saying their reluctant goodbyes, a voice came from the side.

"Zhu Chaoyang."

The three children turned around in surprise, and their expressions immediately changed.

There stood Zhang Dongsheng, wearing a shirt and Glasses, smiling brightly as he said to the three children, "We meet again."

The third episode ended right there, coming to an abrupt halt!

This high-tension ending gave Zhong Lin goosebumps once again.

As she looked at Zhu Chaoyang and then at Zhang Dongsheng, the things she couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear.

Earlier, she had felt that the two scenes looked inexplicably familiar.

One was Zhu Chaoyang looking down from a high place.

The other was Zhu Chaoyang gazing at himself in the mirror.

Of these two close-up shots, the first one looked exactly like Zhang Dongsheng, after pushing the two elders off the mountain, hypocritically looking down and feigning panic as he shouted, "Dad! Mom!"

Here, it is also the case that someone falls from a great height and then meets their end.

The second shot also looks exactly like the scene of Zhang Dongsheng without his wig, standing in front of a mirror!

Here, Zhang Dongsheng has his own secret, and it is the same for Zhu Chaoyang.

However, Zhang Dongsheng is a murderer, while on Zhu Chaoyang's side, it was just an accident.

"Am I overthinking it?"

"Or is it that in here... there is some kind of metaphor?!"

Originally, Zhong Lin was still pondering the direction of the Drama, thinking about the truth of everything.

But the more she thought, the more she felt that something was not right again.

"If Luo Mo is really expressing something obscurely, and the truth of the matter is not like this, then..."

"Damn you, Luo Mo!"

It was as if Zhong Lin had also entered the Loop, thinking in her heart:

"You don't actually think this web drama can pass censorship, do you?"
