My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Looking at this exceptionally polite man, Lu Zhao felt more and more that their judgment seemed to be a bit off.

Chapter 101 The Radish Was Pulled Out

She circled Chen Shang's head once, then asked suspiciously, "How did you get buried in the ground?"

The other party also looked helpless: "I don't know either! I was introducing a house to a client when suddenly everything went black. When I woke up, I found myself buried in a dark place."

But I couldn't make a sound; I could only hear footsteps and the sound of cars running over me above my head, so I concluded that I must have been buried in the ground.

Lu Zhao then asked, "So how did you manage to breathe and tap on the soil so we could find you?"

Chen Shang smiled bitterly: "I don't know either! I only know that I feel like I'm wrapped in something, but I can breathe freely and move my arms, but I can't move or feel anything else... It feels like I'm being deliberately made to use knocking to call for help."

Should we deliberately make him ask for help?

In other words, the people who buried Chen Shang underground did not intend to kill him; instead, they protected him with something until he was discovered by them.

But is that even possible?

Just as Lu Zhao was about to fall into deep thought again, he heard Xia Zhifei say, "Alright, Zhao, let's rescue them first!"

“Oh,” she responded, then asked again to confirm, “Are you sure something is protecting you?”

Chen Shang nodded, puzzled: "Yes, I feel like I've been here for at least half a day. If I didn't have anything protecting me, I probably would have suffocated to death long ago."

That's true.

She nodded knowingly, deflecting the attack with her black flame shovel once more, and turned back to remind Xia Zhifei and Messiah, "You two, move aside a bit."

"Ah Zhao!" Xia Zhifei seemed to sense what she was about to do and quickly reminded her, "Be mindful of your behavior!"

Lu Zhao smiled, "Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing—"

Before she finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground, pressing her palms firmly against the ground. Just as everyone was wondering what she was doing, they saw cracks appear on the road surface centered on her palms.

"This……"

Messiah quickly pulled Xia Zhifei back a few steps, then leaned close to the young lady's ear in surprise and whispered, "Is this how you behave?"

"That's just her style, aren't you used to it yet?" Xia Zhifei sighed and rubbed his forehead.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crack gradually spread to Chen Shang's vicinity. His expression changed slightly, and he struggled desperately as if trying to avoid something. "Hot! So hot! Help!"

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." Lu Zhao calmly replied, then clenched his fist and slammed it hard into the ground!

With a loud "boom," the road beside Chen Shang shattered instantly and collapsed to the ground.

"Help!" Chen Shang only had time to shout before he was pulled up by a hand just as he was about to fall with the rubble.

Xia Zhifei couldn't bear to look at the road surface that had suddenly sunk. "It's over, we're going to have to pay compensation again."

"I rescued him, didn't I?" Lu Zhao placed Chen Shang on the ground with one hand. Seeing the man trembling as he collapsed to the ground, it was as if he saw himself when he first transmigrated. He couldn't help but scratch his head, squat down and comfort him, "It's alright, don't be afraid."

Judging from his ill-fitting suit, you can basically tell at a glance that he works in sales.

However... it's really strange that there was so much blood in the bedroom, yet there wasn't a single drop of blood on his body.

Chen Shang was so frightened by her that he took a long step back. "You...you're from the Bureau of Spirits?"

“Yeah,” Lu Zhao tilted his head, puzzled. “Do you really need to be so afraid of me? I’m not going to hit you.”

He swallowed hard in terror, and stammered, "I...I heard there's a grumpy arsonist in the Bureau of Spirits who, besides playing with fire, likes to hit people all the time...Please, please don't hit me, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Um... Has the original owner's infamy spread this far?

Lu Zhao stood up somewhat awkwardly, choosing to stand next to Xia Zhifei and the others. He nudged the young lady and whispered, "He seems quite afraid of me. Why don't you go up and ask him?"

“No problem, I’ll do it!” Messiah volunteered and stepped forward. After looking him over a few times, he coughed and shouted, “Tell me the truth! Otherwise, I won’t be the one questioning you!”

As she spoke, she even turned around and glanced at Lu Zhao with an air of seriousness.

Lu Zhao: ...Aren't you just threatening her? Besides, saying this only seems to deepen her fear of her.

Now she knows where the original owner's bad reputation most likely came from.

Chen Shang nodded hurriedly: "I'll definitely tell the truth! ...Eh? What do I need to tell you?"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Messiah snorted and poked his forehead. "Still playing dumb with me? Tell me! How exactly did you kill him? And why did you come here to bury yourself?"

"I...who did I kill?" Chen Shang was completely bewildered. He quickly stood up, patted his butt, and said, "Special Envoy, you're not mistaken, are you? I'm a registered member of the Spirit Clan. I wouldn't dare kill a chicken, let alone a person!"

Messiah frowned. "Do you know Xing Yu?"

He paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly darting away, unable to meet her gaze: "I...I know her...she's a colleague of mine in the sales office, but we sell different properties, so we're not very familiar with each other."

"Is that so—" Messiah deliberately dragged out her words, then suddenly shouted at him sharply, "You're lying! I checked your records. Xing Yu joined your sales office two months ago, but she snatched your title as the top salesperson as soon as she arrived. You've been overshadowed by her for two consecutive months, and your bonuses have been much lower. You should resent her, right?"

Chen Shang's expression changed slightly. "Special Envoy! Her performance is indeed higher than mine, so we just don't get along very well. Besides, we sold different properties, so there's really no comparison!"

“But she’s dead.” Messiah’s words were startling, and Chen Shang was immediately taken aback.

"Dead?" he murmured, as if still struggling to process the word. "How could she be dead... Wait! Do you suspect I killed her?"

Messiah shrugged slightly. "So, do you think we came to see you out of boredom?"

"But I really didn't kill anyone!" Chen Shang argued vehemently, his face and neck turning red.

"But……"

Messiah was about to say something when Lu Zhao interrupted her, "Alright, we haven't confirmed you're a suspect yet. If you want to clear your name, you'll have to come back with us, right?"

He hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly picked up his briefcase. "Okay! I'll go back with you!"

Chapter 102 The Game's Female Protagonist

Looking at the man sitting upright in the back seat through the rearview mirror, Lu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought she was going to be involved in some kind of high-speed chase to catch a criminal.

Thankfully, she had only had her driver's license for less than six months and wasn't capable of such advanced maneuvers, let alone engaging in a fight with a suspect.

"We'll take you to the station first, and everything else will have to wait until the police have finished their investigation." She took a closer look at the ability-suppressing handcuffs on the other person's wrist. If it weren't for these things, she would never have let Messiah sit next to him.

Lu Zhao suspected that the ability-suppressing handcuffs were created by the maker based on some kind of black technology from Batman, similar to the inhibitors, both being methods used to restrict the Eldar.

However, handcuffs can only restrain Spirit Race members of Rank B and below at most. For someone like her, who is Rank A and has a very manic ability, only suppressants can be used.

Well, there are a few downsides to being at a high level.

Chen Shang nodded and sat properly in the corner of the car. "Yes, I trust your abilities!"

Goodness, he's a good citizen.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, then sped up and drove towards the Spirit Management Bureau.

……

Outside the interrogation room.

"He recounted his itinerary over the past two days. Take a look, and I'll take it to the monitoring department to verify it later."

After receiving the report from the young lady, Lu Zhao carefully flipped through it. It was just a normal routine of home-work-meal, with nothing particularly strange about it.

"Do you have any information about that client he mentioned?" she asked, pointing to the work schedule section.

Xia Zhifei quickly flipped through the records in his hand, "Oh, yes. The other party is a female college student who just inherited a huge fortune and came here to study alone."

As Lu Zhao listened, he began to sense that something was amiss: inheriting a fortune, attending school alone, a female college student…

These three keywords combined... isn't that exactly the setup for a female lead?

She quickly took the record from Xia Zhifei's hand and hurriedly flipped through it, but there was only a few sentences in the record as an explanation.

"I'll go in and ask again!" She handed the record back to Xia Zhifei, strode into the interrogation room, and impatiently approached Chen Shang. "What was that client's name? Do you remember it?"

Chen Shang was startled by her reckless action and instinctively raised his arm to protect his head. After a long while, when he felt nothing, he cautiously lowered his hand. "You...you're not going to hit me?"

Lu Zhao was furious. Did she really look like someone who liked to hit people?

"I just want to know the client's name and address!" She suppressed her excitement and asked again.

"That client from yesterday?" Chen Shang lowered his head and thought for a while. "I think her name is... Wen Ruo, yes, Miss Wen! She lives on Shangyan Road... I'm sorry, that's all I remember. If you want to see more details, you'll have to come to our company."

After obtaining the information about Chen Shang's real estate company, Lu Zhao left the interrogation room without saying a word.

"Ah Zhao, what exactly happened?" Xia Zhifei stepped forward and grabbed her, asking, "Is something wrong?"

No... it's not a problem with this case.

Lu Zhao didn't know how to explain it to her. He glanced at the pile of documents in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Fei, I have something very important to do. Can you and Messiah help me handle the following matters?"

Anyway, Chen Shang has been caught, so their mission is basically complete. They are just waiting for confirmation from the police.

As for Song Lingge, I don't know why there's been no news from her. But since she's someone who can hold her own against the original owner of this body for a short time, there shouldn't be anyone in this city who can hurt her.

With that thought in mind, Lu Zhao couldn't wait to get on the elevator and leave.

The female lead, the female lead.

In the elevator, Lu Zhao kept thinking about this word.

Before this, she had never actually gone to find the female protagonist. It wasn't that she was being lazy; rather, the female protagonist's name was set by the player, and she couldn't possibly know what her name was until she actually appeared.

The female protagonist, Wen Ruo, is surnamed Wen?

She couldn't help but take a deep breath. If she remembered correctly, the junior schoolmate who took her home to play games with her had the surname Wen.

They share the same surname, but their given names are quite different.

Wenruo, Wenruo, so gentle and frail, ah...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lean against the elevator wall and chuckle softly.

When my junior schoolmate took her home, she complained about the female protagonist. She said that she was quite good as she grew up, but she was really weak and timid in the early stages. She would always get into trouble, and then a romanceable character would come to her rescue.

She never expected that her junior would name the female protagonist Wenruo.

"Junior girl..." she murmured softly, waiting for the elevator doors to slowly open, but as soon as she stepped out, she bumped into someone.

This time, Lu Zhao didn't blindly bump into the person like before. Instead, he moved aside before the other person entered, which gave him time to see the person's face.

"Lin Yu?" She was taken aback.

The other person hadn't expected to run into her either, and a look of confusion appeared on her delicate face. "What are you doing here?"

Eh?
