"The girl who draws is a painter who provides creative inspiration to the Mu Corporation, Wen Tingxue."
After a pause, Jiang An added, "The young lady pushed into the water by Miss Yu Er at Young Master Chi's birthday banquet last time was also her."
"Oh?"
Fu Yuchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, a discernible flicker of interest crossing his arrogant and exquisite features.
It was interesting.
His two stays in Jiangcheng were both related to this girl.
Truly… fate.
The man lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on the program list.
Wen, Ting, Xue.
The name was indeed elegant.
He looked up, his scrutinizing gaze inch by inch dissecting the girl's face.
Fair and delicate, with harmless features, dressed in a school uniform, exceedingly pure.
A type that would be hard for any man to resist.
"Second Master, shall we discuss this with her in detail?" Jiang An asked.
"LSD was added to the water..."
Chi Zerui's brows furrowed, his tone chillingly cold. "Are you sure?"
"Certain, the doctor has tested it."
"..."
Chi Zerui took a deep breath, hostility flashing in his eyes.
Wen Tingxue had never seen him look so grim. She couldn't help but ask, "LSD... what is that?"
"It's..." Chi Zerui paused for two seconds, "a hallucinogenic drug."
Wen Tingxue instinctively held her breath, her eyes filled with a bewilderment that was almost overflowing.
She didn't know who would go to such lengths to harm her.
She only felt a profound sense of terror.
A deep, deep terror.
Chi Zerui's brow furrowed with concern.
"Was only Wen Tingxue's water tampered with, or...?"
Before he could finish asking, the other person said, "Xie Jinyi's water was also tampered with."
The implication was that the attack was aimed at both of them.
The makeup artist thought for a moment and added, "That eyeshadow palette will also be used on Xie Jinyi because they are in the same program.
"So, when Wen Tingxue changed hers, I changed hers too."
Chi Zerui rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully.
Then, he looked up and asked Xie Jinyi, "Are you allergic to mangoes?"
Xie Jinyi shook her head, "No."
The cosmetics were clearly targeting Wen Tingxue.
But... who could it be?
It wasn't just the cosmetics, but also drugging the water, and glass in the shoes...
"It should be two people."
Yu Wenli's voice came from the doorway.
Following him was the overwhelmed student council president.
"You mean the one who put the glass and the one who tampered with the water are two different people?"
"Mm."
Yu Wenli recounted all the details, a terrifying cold light glinting in his dark eyes.
"Knowing Xiao Xue is allergic to mangoes, knowing which eyeshadow palette the makeup artist would use, and even being able to obtain LSD.
"In the entire Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, there are very few people who satisfy all three conditions simultaneously."
The scope was significantly narrowed. The student council president quickly ordered people to investigate the background information of all personnel involved in the evening party.
-
As time passed, the evening party gradually drew to a close.
However, the screening had not yet made any clear progress, and even the questioning had reached an impasse.
Everyone in Preparation Room No. 1 had been thoroughly questioned, but no one had seen the person who put the glass.
Chi Zerui said impatiently, "Why don't we just call the police?"
"No," the student council president immediately denied, "we should at least wait for those people to leave."
An incident like this at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School absolutely could not be handled openly.
Especially with distinguished guests present, including distinguished guests from outside Jiangcheng.
They absolutely could not afford to lose face to another city.
Chi Zerui closed his eyes wearily.
Yu Wenli flipped through the records in silence.
According to Xie Jinyi's account, the time the person put the glass was likely...
When Xie Jinyi went out to find the notebook and when Xiao Xue was doing her makeup.
During that time, who else could have entered or exited except for the people in Preparation Room No. 1?
The name had just popped into his mind, and the person appeared at the door.
Several gazes simultaneously fell on the flustered Tong Jiayi.
"I..."
She gripped the doorknob, struggling to speak, "I, I know who put the glass."
"Who?"
Chi Zerui asked impatiently, not even bothering to right his overturned chair.
Tong Jiayi stared directly at Yu Wenli, who slowly looked up.
His dark pupils were filled with indifference.
Tong Jiayi's heart sank, then she seemed to accept it, "You... guessed it?"
"Just now."
Yu Wenli's voice was deep.
Everyone followed him as he stood up and walked outside.
"It's useless."
Tong Jiayi took a step to the side, blocking him, "She's already called her sister."
Yu Wenli stood in front of her, waiting for her to continue.
Tong Jiayi bit her lip and stated bluntly.
"Second Master Fu returned, likely for this very reason."
The evening party had dispersed, and the principal personally saw Fu Yuchuan off.
Just now, Fu Yuchuan's motorcade had returned, and everyone knew why.
"Oh."
Yu Wenli uttered a simple monosyllable and was about to leave.
"Brother Wenli!"
Tong Jiayi grabbed his wrist and shook her head, trying to dissuade him, "Don't go, you can't afford to offend the Fu family. This matter..."
"I will not let this matter go lightly."
Yu Wenli shook off her hand and led a group of people straight to the principal's office.
Fearing that an uncontrollable mess would ensue, Tong Jiayi gritted her teeth and followed.
