After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 140: When Was There Ever Someone in My Room Last Night?
Mu Chengsi’s guess was spot on. Wu Bei and Jiang Xi also used the diary to roughly figure out Lina’s true identity.
But compared to Mu Chengsi suspecting Lina on her own, Jiang Xi had another theory.
"Shen Youyou might have a problem too."
In the room, she sat on the sofa, flipping to the last few torn-out pages. "The content torn from here might’ve been the real truth."
Plus, with what Bo Jingmo said last night, there was clearly something unknown going on between Shen Youyou and Lina.
Not long after, they went to the dining hall. Coincidentally, Master Shen was also there, and he asked them with concern how they had slept.
But Lina still wasn’t at the table. At first, Master Shen was a bit unhappy, his brows furrowed: "All the guests are here—how could she not show up?"
"Mary said Madam was busy with the banquet preparations late into the night and was feeling a bit unwell," Steward Wang quickly responded in a low voice.
Hearing this, Mu Chengsi secretly glanced at Bo Jingmo from the corner of her eye.
The man’s expression remained unchanged, eyes downcast as he ate in silence, revealing nothing.
Master Shen nodded, "If that’s the case, I’ll go check on her after the meal."
In that instant, the man’s hand paused ever so slightly.
Noticing that subtle pause, Mu Chengsi narrowed her eyes.
She casually looked up—only to suddenly lock eyes with a pair of pitch-black, shadowed eyes.
The man was calmly glancing at her, his face unreadable, but the pressure in his gaze was undeniable.
"………"
Mu Chengsi quietly shifted her gaze away, pretending it was just a coincidence.
After the meal, once Master Shen had left and there were no NPCs around, Mu Chengsi quickly walked over to Bo Jingmo and spoke in a low voice: "Can we talk?"
Before he could refuse, she added, "Last night, I saw someone in your room."
Bo Jingmo’s expression froze slightly. He stared at her in silence for several seconds before finally responding, as if condescendingly: "Fine."
Seeing this, Mu Chengsi let out a sigh of relief. She really couldn’t hold it in any longer.
The two of them found a quiet spot. Mu Chengsi got straight to the point: "I just want to know—was that woman in your room last night Lina?"
Mu Chengsi had assumed she was being obvious. Even if Bo Jingmo didn’t want to admit it, he’d at least tacitly acknowledge it.
If he dared to do it but not admit it, then he’s not even a man—
"When was there ever someone in my room last night?"
Hearing that sentence out of nowhere, Mu Chengsi’s face instantly froze, eyes wide, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
He actually—denied it?!
She couldn’t help but argue back: "When you shut the door, I clearly saw a woman’s—"
As she spoke, Mu Chengsi suddenly stopped mid-sentence. A thought flashed through her mind.
If that woman really was Lina, and based on her identity as a vampire, could it be Bo Jingmo had fallen under her spell?
It wasn’t impossible. But was Bo Jingmo that easy to manipulate?
According to the data from deva, this man had an insanely strong soul. Aside from his own episodes making him lose control, all other mental attacks in the instance were like a drizzle to him.
How could he possibly be enchanted by an NPC?
"Bo Jingmo, as Shen Youyou’s boyfriend, if you really know Lina’s true identity, why are you hiding it?" Mu Chengsi tried to reason with him from a game perspective, hinting that he’d break character otherwise.
But Bo Jingmo just frowned slightly, looking confused: "When did I ever know Lina’s true identity? You figured it out?"
"……" Is he acting, or is this for real?
Mu Chengsi was thrown off. She looked at his face, stayed silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Lina might be a vampire."
Bo Jingmo’s expression didn’t change;even his breathing remained steady, as if he had already expected this. "Alright. Got it."
He even calmly analyzed it: "If that’s the case, then we must eliminate Lina first in order to save Shen Youyou."
Mu Chengsi: "……"
She tugged the corner of her mouth, suddenly at a loss for words.
If Bo Jingmo was faking it, what was the point? Secretly messing with an NPC while lying to the audience to maintain his persona?
Isn’t that just wanting both sides?
How would an NPC even agree to play along?!

Meanwhile, in the northern residence, watching Master Shen who had suddenly called her downstairs, Yu Li raised a brow and smiled: "You called for me?"
Master Shen’s health was getting worse. Just walking a few steps had him winded. He panted as he sat on the sofa, looking up at the woman on the stairs. His clouded gaze revealed a hint of greed.
Even as his body deteriorated, the urges in his heart hadn’t faded.
If it weren’t for her identity, he would’ve made a move long ago.
He beckoned her over, smiling as the wrinkles on his face bunched up: "Lina, come here."
Yu Li walked over with a polite smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes.
"What is it?"
Master Shen tilted his head up to look at the woman in front of him and patted the spot beside him. He had just opened his mouth to invite her to sit when the woman chuckled and said: "Let me peel a pear for you."
His motion froze. All he could do was laugh: "Sure, sure."
He watched her back intently and casually started a conversation: "Everything ready for tonight’s banquet?"
"Mary said everything’s all set." Yu Li picked a pear and began peeling it with a small knife.
Mary, standing to the side, remained silent with her eyes lowered.
"Once it’s done, you haven’t forgotten what you promised, right?" Master Shen’s murky eyes lit up, his voice full of expectation. "Lina, I’ve always been sincere with you. Just look at how much manpower and money I’ve spent on you. Once you regain your power, don’t forget—you promised me immortality."
Yu Li turned her head with a smile: "How could I forget, Master?"
She walked over slowly and handed the peeled pear to Master Shen. Her beautiful face wore a seductive smile. "You want immortality. Of course, I can grant it."
Master Shen’s eyes brightened as he reached out to take it.
Just as he was about to touch her fair hand, she suddenly let go. The peeled pear dropped onto the carpet with a heavy thud. At the same moment, a soft chuckle echoed above him.
"You…"
Master Shen looked up in shock. He barely got one word out before his eyes met a pair of blood-red pupils.
The woman towered over him, looking down coldly, yet her words were gentle and tender.
"Even death is a kind of immortality, you know."
Master Shen’s voice trembled with fear: "Lina! What are you saying?!"
Yu Li looked down into Master Shen’s eyes, her own gaze curling as she spoke: "Once I regain my power, you’ll have no value to me. Why would I keep you around then? Your money already belongs to me."
Master Shen’s face went pale in an instant. He turned to look at Steward Wang beside him.
But the man still had his head lowered, as if he hadn’t heard a word.
His voice turned frantic: "Steward Wang! Hel—"
Before he could even finish, a cold blade had already stabbed straight into his heart without mercy.
Blood splattered onto the woman’s vibrant red dress. Crimson stained her pale skin, and under the light, it was as delicate as the finest mutton-fat jade. Her stunning face was filled with indifference and scorn.
As Master Shen took his final breath, the woman’s gaze flickered. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
She tilted her head toward Mary and showed a harmless-looking smile before suddenly asking:
"Mary, do you think he deserved to die?"
Mary’s body instantly stiffened.
