399: Chapter 369 Six of Hearts: Things aren't as simple as they seem!

Upon hearing her companions' questions, the taut string of Li Weiwei's nerves finally snapped with a 'crack'.

Her eyes turned red, and she shed tears of grievance. Pouting her lips, she began to accuse them, her voice thick with a sobbing tone:

"This matter is not my fault at all!"

"That lousy script you gave me is a total trap! It's already been used by someone else!"

"What?!" Plum Blossom Three and Heart Six exclaimed in unison.

Li Weiwei sniffled, stomping her feet in anger:

"I had just read two lines of dialogue according to the script, and that Jiang You immediately activated his ruthless interruption mode!"

"He recited everything I was about to say, word for word, including the punctuation and pauses!"

"He said that ten minutes ago, another woman had said the exact same thing to him!"

"He even pointed at my nose and called us a mass-produced scam gang, telling me to hurry up and find the director to collect my wages!"

"How am I supposed to respond to that? There's absolutely no chance of success!"

Boom!

These words hit the two high-ranking members of the Wusheng Divine Sect like a heavy blow to the back of their heads.

Plum Blossom Three turned his head sharply, grabbed Heart Six by his suit collar, and gritted his back teeth with a rattling sound:

"Brother Six! You better explain to me what the hell is going on!"

"Didn't you pat your chest and guarantee that this 'Domineering School Hunk' script was your masterpiece and absolutely reliable?"

"Jiang You even predicted your next line! We've lost all our face!"

Although Heart Six was being grabbed by the collar, there was no trace of panic on his face.

On the contrary, his expression instantly became as grave as still water, and from the depths of his eyes, a sharp gleam of 'seeing through everything' erupted!

He slapped away Plum Blossom Three's hand, straightened his messy suit collar, took a deep breath, and spoke in a terrifyingly low voice.

"Old Three, calm down!"

"Things are not as simple as they appear on the surface!"

Heart Six held the romance novel in one hand, used it like a folding fan to gently fan himself twice in front of his chest, and then habitually extended two fingers to stroke his non-existent goatee.

"Think about it carefully!"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Heart Six's eyes as he began his flawless logical deduction:

"This plot was a top-secret plan I just conceived late last night!"

"Why would Jiang You know the lines in advance? Why would he say 'Ten minutes ago, another actress was arranged to perform this for him'?"

Plum Blossom Three was stunned and rubbed the back of his head: "Why? Isn't it because your plot is too cliché?"

"Wrong! Dead wrong!"

Heart Six slapped his thigh and declared resonantly: "This means we have encountered a true expert!"

"In this Imperial Capital, besides our Wusheng Divine Sect, there is definitely another mysterious force also secretly keeping a close eye on Jiang You!"

Heart Six gasped, his voice trembling:

"Moreover, the opponent's think tank and yours truly—the Prime Minister—have arrived at the same conclusion!"

"Not only did they keenly perceive Jiang You's fatal weakness as a 'pure college boy', but they even chose the same hit romance novel for their infiltration script as I did!"

"The most terrifying thing is that their execution was ten minutes faster than ours! They took the lead and finished this plot in front of Jiang You!"

"Hiss!"

Hearing this deduction, Plum Blossom Three and Li Weiwei both gasped, their scalps tingling.

"There's another group of people?" Plum Blossom Three looked around, as if every tree nearby was hiding enemy spies, and swallowed his saliva: "Brother Six, do you mean we got intercepted?"

"Exactly!"

Heart Six's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth:

"To be able to succeed ahead of me, Heart Six, using the same tactics right under my nose... it seems the opponent's commander is also a top-tier agent who has read various idol dramas and deeply understands human nature!"

"This is the ultimate espionage war without smoke!"

Watching Heart Six act as if he were facing a formidable enemy, desperately trying to save face, Plum Blossom Three rolled his eyes speechlessly, wishing he could kick this guy in the butt:

"Brother Six! At a time like this, can you stop trying to glorify yourself!"

"Regardless of which deity intercepted us, the problem now is that our plan has completely failed!"

"Jiang You already considers us scammers. What do we do now? If we go back, the Sect Leader will surely skin us alive!"

"What are you panicking about?"

Heart Six chuckled lightly and stuffed the romance novel into his suit pocket.

He straightened his back, a cold smile of confidence curling at the corners of his mouth:

"Don't rush, Old Three. The failure of this so-called 'Phase One Plan' is merely a smoke bomb I released."

"As a top-tier tactical master, how could I only have one plan?"

"To deal with that brat Jiang You, this Prime Minister has his own clever tricks!"

Hearing this, Li Weiwei, who was still wiping her nosebleed with a tissue, immediately became anxious.

She pointed at her own nose and shouted with a face full of resistance:

"But Brother Six, I've already shown my face to him once!"

"He not only predicted my lines but also treated me like a scammer to my face! My disguise is already shattered to pieces; how can I approach him now? Even if we change the script, as soon as he sees my face, he'll definitely turn around and leave immediately!"

"I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it! This job is impossible! You guys better change to someone else quickly!" Li Weiwei shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"Hmph, foolish!"

Heart Six not only didn't agree to change her, but instead clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Li Weiwei with a profound gaze of 'mortals cannot understand', cold-snorting:

"It's precisely because you've been exposed as a scammer that you must go!"

"Huh?" Li Weiwei and Plum Blossom Three were both dumbfounded.

They've already been pegged as scammers, and they still want to press on? Isn't that just sticking their faces out to be slapped?

"What do you two know? This is called finding a way to survive by putting yourself in a desperate situation! This is called reverse thinking!"

Heart Six pulled a smug arc at the corner of his mouth and began to excitedly explain his new script:

"Think about it, doesn't Jiang You now consider you a scammer who will do anything to get money?"

"Then, what if you don't run away, but instead turn into an inescapable piece of sticky toffee, pestering him every day?"

Li Weiwei answered blankly: "Then he will call the police to arrest me."

"Wrong!"

Heart Six clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"At this time, you must adopt the demeanor of a stubborn, innocent little flower!"

"You must redden your eyes, look at him with that gaze of being misunderstood by the whole world yet remaining strong, and tell him loudly: 'I am not a scammer! I just did it to get your attention!'"

"You need to create a sense of obsession that says, 'You have misunderstood me, and I must prove my innocence to you.'"

The more Heart Six talked, the more excited he became, gesturing wildly:

"Think about it, a pretty girl as lovely as you, in order to prove your innocence to him, not asking for money or profit, just following behind him feeling so aggrieved."

"You rush forward when encountering danger, you pay the bill when he eats! The focus is on companionship and redemption!"

"This kind of 'pestering, bickering couple' 2D trope is simply the ultimate killer weapon for dealing with those pure college boys!"

Heart Six concluded decisively: "Within three days, he will definitely develop a deep bond with you out of guilt and curiosity! By then, why worry about not winning him over?"

"Listen to me later, we will immediately start Plan B, the stubborn girl's battle for innocence!"

Plum Blossom Three: "..."

Li Weiwei: "..."

Listening to this outrageous, yet strangely logical, bizarre script from Heart Six, the two of them felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were stampeding across their foreheads.

"Brother Six..." Plum Blossom Three swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva, "How many... romance novels do you actually read in your spare time?"

Is this the kind of quality a high-ranking cult member should have? Why does it feel more professional than those pickup artists on the street!
