Chapter 145
Fu Jingting’s pupils shrank, and the hand holding Gu Manyin tightened a lot.
Cheng Huai rubbed his chin and spoke, “There’s no black blood, it doesn’t look like a poisonous snake, but it’s not certain, Jingting, hurry up and carry her down the mountain and get a doctor to administer the serum.”
Without saying a word, Fu Jingting picked up Gu Manyin and flew towards the cable car.
Only after watching the cable car gradually disappear into the clouds did Rong Shu and her party find a place to sit down and wait for the cable car to return.
“Baby, how on earth did you encounter the snake?” Lu Qi asked as he handed a bottle of water to Rong Shu.
Rongshu took it and held it in her hand, not unscrewing it either, shaking her head back, “I don’t know.”
She hadn’t anticipated the snake’s appearance at all.
Before Gu Manyin was bitten, she didn’t even know what had happened.
“It’s better for me to say this.” Chen Xingnuo raised her hand.
The others looked at her.
She slowly said, “I was about to go to the creek to wash my face, and then I saw a snake hanging on the branch behind Mr. Rong. The snake had no intention of attacking anyone, but Gu Manyin suddenly stood up and shouted at Mr. Rong, scaring the snake, which then lunged towards him.”
“So you mean to say that the snake originally bit Sister Rongshu?” Fu Jinglin’s mouth opened in surprise.
Chen Xingnuo nodded, “That’s right, it was me who opened my mouth and told General Manager Rong to crouch down, that’s why that snake landed on Gu Manyin who was opposite General Manager Rong and bit Gu Manyin.”
“That’s quite dramatic.” Cheng Huai laughed.
It was only then that Rong Shu also understood the cause and effect and took Chen Xingnuo’s hand, grateful, “Xingnuo, thank you.”
If Chen Xingnuo hadn’t suddenly asked her to crouch down.
Perhaps it would have been her who was bitten.
“No need to thank you, it’s also because you trust me unreservedly, Mr. Rong, otherwise it would have been useless even if I had reminded you.” Chen Xingnuo laughed.
“I really didn’t expect that there were actually snakes on this mountain, and I was so lucky to have come across them.” Rongshu said with a bitter smile.
Although she had calmed down by now, she still couldn’t help but feel a little scared when she thought of that snake.
Lu Qi put his hands behind his head, “Speaking of which, I still blame that woman Gu Manyin, if she hadn’t suddenly stood up and scared the snake, the snake wouldn’t have attacked Baby, but luckily it was Gu Manyin herself who was bitten in the end, so I feel much better.”
“Speaking of which, I do feel that the snake, it seems, was scared by Gu Manyin on purpose.” Chen Xingnuo rubbed her chin and suddenly said.
Several people were shocked by her words.
“Chen Xingnuo, you said that the snake was deliberately scared by Gu Manyin?” Lu Qi stared closely at Chen Xingnuo.
“No way?” Fu Jinglin opened his mouth.
Cheng Huai took him by the shoulders, “Why wouldn’t it be, don’t forget what Gu Manyin did to your sister Rongshu, what else couldn’t she do.”
“……” Fu Jinglin suddenly ran out of words and looked at Rong Shu.
Rongshu wrinkled her eyebrows, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Xingnuo nodded back, “Yes, I suspect she did it on purpose, because when the snake flew towards Mr. Rong, I saw her smile, and she was not at all surprised by the appearance of the snake, so I think it is very likely that she found the snake a long time ago, and then deliberately stood up and called out to Mr. Rong.”
“If that’s the case, then she really had it coming when she was bitten.” The corner of Cheng Huai’s mouth held a sneer.
“It must be true.” Lu Qi slapped a slap on his leg in anger, his face cold, “I knew that she was willing to not die to Bao’er yet, and still wanted to make a move, so here it is.”
“This woman, really the worst one I’ve ever seen.” Chen Xingnuo tsked with emotion.
She just couldn’t understand, even though at first, Mr. Rong and Mr. Fu got married, making Gu Manyin feel bad in her heart.
But now that Mr. Rong and Mr. Fu had divorced, and Mr. Fu was also bent on loving Gu Manyin, did Gu Manyin have to target Mr. Rong so much?
“Kid.” Cheng Huai looked at Fu Jinglin, “See what happened today, you should be careful in the future, don’t have nothing to offend Gu Manyin, otherwise with her careful eye, she will also go after you.”
“I …… I know.” Fu Jinglin was busy nodding his head.
He knew Gu Manyin was bad, but he had never seen Gu Manyin’s bad side with his own eyes, so he was still somewhat unimpressed and not afraid of Gu Manyin at all.
But now that he had finally seen it, he had to admit that he was shocked.
“No, this matter is not over, Gu Manyin must be taught a lesson.” Lu Qi clenched his fist and said angrily.
Rongshu pursed her red lips, “How are you going to teach her a lesson? There is no evidence at all that she did it on purpose in this matter, there is only Xingnuo as a witness, and since Xingnuo is on our side, Gu Manyin and the others can completely say that we let Xingnuo deliberately frame her.”
“What Rong Shu said is correct.” Cheng Huai also nodded, “Since it wasn’t Gu Manyin who directly laid hands on Rong Shu, there’s really nothing that can be done with Gu Manyin.”
Lu Qi was still reluctant, “So we’re just going to let it go?”
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, “Of course not, she can do it in such a way that we can’t get any evidence against her, so of course we can too.”
“Baby, how do you plan to do that?” Lu Qi’s eyes lit up.
Rongshu hooked her finger, gesturing for them to come closer.
Several people leaned over.
Rong Shu was just about to speak when Lu Qi suddenly spoke, “Wait.”
“What is it?” Rongshu looked at him.
Lu Qi pushed Fu Jinglin away, “Baby, this kid is Fu Jingting’s brother, he’s on their side, you can’t let him listen.”
“Who said I’m from that side, I’m not.” Fu Jinglin shouted back.
Lu Qi looped his arms, “Aren’t you Fu Jingting’s brother, how come you’re not?”
“Just because I’m his brother doesn’t mean I’m on his side. Unless he breaks up with Gu Manyin, I won’t side with him.” Fu Jinglin grunted.
Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, “Are you serious?”
“Of course!” Fu Jinglin nodded his head without hesitation.
Lu Qi bristled, “Really I won’t let you hear it either.”
“You ……” Fu Jinglin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
The two people who were having a fight every now and then, Rongshu only felt a headache, “Okay A Qi, how old is he and how old are you, why are you still arguing with a child, stop it, let him listen if he wants to.”
“But baby, what if he tells Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin?” Lu Qi was a little worried.
Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting, her eyes were stern, “Would you?”
Fu Jinglin shook his head repeatedly, “I definitely won’t, I swear!”
He held up three fingers.
Rongshu nodded slightly, “That’ll do.”
Seeing that she had decided so much, Lu Qi shrugged his shoulders and did not advise, but only gave Fu Jinglin a warning glance, “Kid, you better not say anything, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You don’t have that chance.” Fu Jinglin smiled smugly.
Lu Qi rolled his eyes, “Let’s hope so.”
Soon, Rong Shu told them her plan.
After hearing it, several people laughed wickedly.
“That’s a good idea.” Lu Qi gave a thumbs up.
Chen Xingnuo nodded his head, “Yeah, it’s exciting just thinking about it.”
“I didn’t expect that you would actually do something like this.” Cheng Huai looked at Rong Shu with a wry smile.
“It can’t be helped, it’s normal to use extraordinary means at extraordinary times, isn’t it?” Rong Shu ruffled her hair, revealing her long, slender swan’s neck.
Cheng Huai looked at the curve of her fair and graceful neck, his eyes paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
“Sister Rongshu, the task of luring her out, leave it to me.” Fu Jinglin suddenly raised his hand.
Rongshu looked at him, “Of course it should be given to you, and only to you, because of your relationship with them, going to the first floor is the least suspicious for them.”
“Understood!” Hearing Rong Shu promise to give the task to himself, Fu Jinglin smiled happily.
Chapter 146
At this point, the cable car arrived.
Several people ended their conversation and took the cable car down the mountain.
Just as they returned to the villa, Rongshu saw the cook sending the doctor away.
“It looks like Gu Manyin is okay.” Chen Xingnuo said, clutching her arm.
Lu Qi skimmed his lips, “A scourge will last a thousand years, how can it be so easy to lose.”
“Alright, stop talking, go in first.” Rongshu withdrew her gaze and went into the villa.
Lu Qi and the others also followed inside.
Fu Jingting was on the phone in the living room, and when he saw a few people enter, his eyes flickered slightly.
“Jingting, is Miss Gu all right?” Although he had already guessed that Gu Manyin was fine, Cheng Huai still asked politely, lest he be called too indifferent.
“It’s fine, the snake wasn’t poisonous.” Fu Jingting put down his phone and said back.
“What a pity.” Chen Xingnuo suddenly said.
Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed and a cold aura filled his surroundings.
He gave Chen Xingnuo a cool look before shifting his gaze to Cheng Huai, his voice without a trace of emotion, “Mind your people.”
Before Cheng Huai could answer, Lu Qi smiled and said, “I also think what Supervisor Chen said is very right, it’s too bad that it’s not a poisonous snake, Mr. Fu still doesn’t know, Gu Manyin was bitten by a snake, it’s entirely because she didn’t ask for it by harming others.”
“What do you mean?” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, suddenly realising that this matter was not so simple.
Lu Qi took Rong Shu’s shoulders, “What I mean is that Gu Manyin had found the snake long ago and wanted to stimulate the snake to bite Baby, and it was Supervisor Chen who saved Baby before the snake bit Gu Manyin.”
Fu Jingting’s pupils shrank, obviously stunned by the truth of this matter.
He looked at Rong Shu, “Is that true?”
Rong Shu faintly averted her gaze, not even wanting to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting felt a little blocked in his heart, but his face was still as cold as ever.
“Of course it’s true, do you think we’re lying to you? We’re not that shameless.” Lu Qi said as he rolled his eyes.
Fu Jingting swept his gaze across the faces of the few people in front of him, confirming through the expressions on their faces that what Lu Qi said was true, and his fists tightened up.
漫音……
“Mr. Fu, how are you going to handle this matter, you always have to give us an explanation, right?” Lu Qi sneered as he looked at Fu Jingting who had lowered his eyes.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips and stood up, “I will.”
“That’s good, then we’ll be waiting for your explanation, but hopefully Mr. Fu won’t let us down.” Lu Qi smiled.
Fu Jingting ignored him again and lifted his feet to go upstairs.
“Big brother, wait for me.” Fu Jinglin hurriedly chased after him, “I have something I want to say to you.”
He had to persuade big brother properly.
He must make big brother break up with Gu Manyin.
The two brothers’ figures disappeared at the stairway.
Lu Qi smiled and approached Rong Shu, “Baby, guess what that kid, Fu Jing Lin, is going to say to Fu Jing Ting?”
“Who knows, I’m not interested.” Rong Shu laughed for a moment, then shook his hand off, “I’m going back to my room to change my clothes.”
After saying that, she also went upstairs.
Only Cheng Huai Gu Mangyin and Lu Qi were left in the living room.
The three of them glanced at each other.
Chen Xingnuo yawned and said, “Then I’ll go back to my room too, soak in the bath and sleep.”
“I’m going to ride a horse for a while.” Cheng Huai also said.
The two of them went upstairs and left the villa.
“So where am I going?” Lu Qi looked at this and that, and finally sighed and simply sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Cheng Huai went to the stables, chose a horse and led it to the horse farm.
The stable was being cleaned at the moment and could not be entered until it had been cleaned.
Cheng Huai tethered the horse to the side and leaned against the fence with a gla*s of juice, watching comfortably as a group of workers cleaned the stable.
At this moment, one of the workers suddenly bent down to pick up something and then shouted towards the worker with the red hat in the distance, “Captain, come here for a moment, I found something.”
“What is it?” The captain jogged over to him.
The worker handed him the small gla*s bottle in his hand, “This is it, I’ve just opened it and examined it, it’s musk.”
“Musk?” The captain frowned.
The worker nodded, “That’s right, there are two in here, but deducing from the height of this bottle and the volume of the musk, there should have been three in this bottle originally, so I suspect that it’s the same three we lost from the storehouse.”
“It must be, I just don’t know where the third one in this bottle has gone.” The captain said in a deep voice.
Cheng Huai was curious and walked over, “What’s wrong?”
The captain knew he was a customer, so he didn’t hide it from him and smiled and said, “Our staff found musk on the ground.”
“Musk?” Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows, “What is it?”
“It’s a pill made from the secretions of male horses, used to stimulate mares to get horny, because horses have a very low rate of getting horny, in order to breed foals, so we horse breeders use this to stimulate mares to get horny.” The captain explained.
Cheng Huai nodded in a daze, “So it’s this kind of thing, but how did this kind of thing get here?”
“We were wondering too, when the workers went to check the storehouse yesterday, they found three of them missing from the storehouse, and we didn’t expect to find them here.” The captain scratched his hair and was also puzzled.
“It looks like someone stole it, and used one.” Cheng Huai said.
“This stuff has no use other than for mares, and whoever stole this is too strange.” The worker said with a puzzled look on his face.
“Wait a minute, you just said that it was found absent yesterday?” Suddenly thinking of something, Cheng Huai asked with a serious face.
The captain nodded, “That’s right, our storehouse is checked every day and then we found three musks missing, but since it wasn’t anything important, we didn’t pay too much attention to it.”
Cheng Huai narrowed his eyes.
Musk was only useful for mares, or was it stolen yesterday, and yesterday, Rongshu’s mare, then suddenly had a spring in the stable, such a coincidence, it seemed that Rongshu’s almost falling off her horse was not an accident, but someone had done it on purpose.
That person used one musk to successfully make Rong Shu’s horse go into heat, and then threw away the remaining two, along with the gla*s bottle. Perhaps that person thought that since the stable was so big, a small gla*s bottle would surely not be found, and that’s why he threw it into the stable?
“By the way, is there any surveillance in the depot?” Cheng Huai looked at the captain.
The captain shook his head, “No.”
Cheng Huai was a bit regretful, but he didn’t lose heart and said with a smile, “Can I have this?”
He pointed to the gla*s bottle in the captain’s hand.
Although the captain was curious about what he wanted this for, he gave it to him.
Cheng Huai thanked him and took the gla*s bottle back to his previous position and sat down.
There was no surveillance in the warehouse, so it was not easy to find the thief, but there was no other way to find him, and that was to check his fingerprints.
I hope the thief’s fingerprints are still on this gla*s bottle.
In fact, Cheng Huai already had a suspect in his heart as to who the thief was.
Among the group of people, he could not think of anyone else except Gu Manyin, but suspicion also requires evidence, so he did not intend to make a statement before the fingerprints came out.
Evening.
The group was still divided into two groups and had dinner in the restaurant.
Gu Manyin was there, probably because of the shock during the day, she had not yet recovered, at this moment her whole face was still pale, a sickly western look, provoking pity, but there was no one there to pity her.
If it is said that normally the attitude of the crowd towards Gu Manyin is to ignore her as long as they can.
Even Fu Jingting was indifferent, not taking care of her meals and paying attention to her emotional changes as usual.
This made Gu Manyin couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, she gripped her chopsticks tightly and looked at the man beside her, “Jingting, are you in a bad mood?”
