Chapter 41 Confrontation
"Tick-tick-tick-tick-"
Huang Chiyao heard a slight sound of dripping water.
To be precise, she didn't hear it, but felt it.
She felt drops of water dripping from the top of her head, approaching her rhythmically, subtly and powerfully like the movement of a second hand. At the moment of dripping, they turned into flowing water, but then drilled into her skin like little snakes and then dispersed to various parts of her body.
The sounds she picked up became more and more, but she still couldn't hear them clearly. Her ears were buzzing, and she only knew that someone was talking next to her.
One, two; two, three; it seems to become two again.
As the cold liquid blended into her blood and spread, she felt herself becoming more awake and her consciousness began to come together.
Huang Chiyao tried to open his eyes, but no matter how he moved his eyeballs, it was as if his eyelids were one with his eyeballs and he could not open them or see through them. He could only feel the light coming in through his eyelids, a white haze, and nothing else.
Is it because I'm still dreaming?
She heard Su Jin's voice and Luo Tuoman's voice.
It seems... there is also the voice of Wen Guzhi.
Unfortunately, she couldn't open her eyes or even move, so she couldn't confirm whether this was a dream or reality.
The voices beside her became clearer and clearer, and she gradually heard their conversation clearly...
……
"Baking Soda, are you kidding me? Me? Why would I hurt her?"
"Do you know what I did when I went out just now?" Su Jin held up his cell phone. "I made two calls. The first one was to my brother. He asked me to ask you to stay. He would come over later to ask you something. The second call was to the restaurant where we just had dinner."
"So what? What does this have to do with me?" Rotman disagreed.
Su Jin swiped a few times on his phone, opened a photo, and put it directly in front of Rotman.
The photo shows a menu card.
"This is the menu I asked the waiter to give me. It includes all the dishes in the restaurant, but there is no dish called braised duck with taro on it!"
Rotman paused for a few seconds and laughed. "Baking soda, have you ever heard of such a thing as a hidden menu? Almost every restaurant has one, right?"
"But this is obviously your first time eating here!"
Su Jin was so excited that he raised his cell phone and pointed it at Rotman. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he slowly put the phone back into his trouser pocket, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"This was obviously your first time in Xundao and your first time in this restaurant, but you were able to order a table full of Yueyang dishes that Chiyao liked, but at the end you specifically ordered this dish of braised duck with taro that I don't like and you don't even touch, and you let Chiyao eat it. It was also the only one who got into trouble."
"Tell me, why did you want to hurt her on purpose?"
"Clap, clap, clap!" Rotman clapped his hands slowly. "What a huge pot is thrown at me. What does it have to do with me whether you like it or not? I only ordered this dish because I heard it was one of Yueyang's specialties. But when it came, it didn't look appetizing, so I didn't eat it. What's so strange about that? Again, why would I harm her? I have no motive."
Su Jin choked.
"Because you wanted to harm more than just Huang Chiyao. In order to avenge your enemy, you also harmed all the students who had eaten in the cafeteria of Mingde Building today."
The door of the ward was unexpectedly opened, and a shocking word was clearly heard, and a person walked in.
"Brother?" Su Jin stared at the newcomer in astonishment, "What do you mean by that?"
Wen Guzhi, holding a document in his hand, walked calmly towards the seated Luo Tuomen, then stopped and stared at her from top to bottom.
"Oh, not only revenge against your enemies, I guess you also want revenge against society."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Luo Tuoman was still sitting on the chair, tilting his head and looking directly at Wen Guzhi, "You even said something like revenge on society. It's getting more and more exaggerated. If I didn't know better, I would think you were filming a movie."
Wen Guzhi handed the document in his hand to Su Jin.
"The cafeteria in Mingde Building, including the restaurant on the tenth floor, is owned by your cousin, right?"
After hearing these words, Rotman slowly straightened up his lazy sitting posture.
Wen Guzhi looked at Rotman's reaction and smiled coldly.
"The school cafeteria contractor is one of your cousin's businesses. Not only that, the ingredients, transportation, and cleaning, the entire chain is handled by your cousin's company. The scale is much larger than that of ordinary contractors."
He reached out and tapped the document he had just handed to Su Jin, "Here is the information related to your cousin."
Su Jin immediately pulled out a document from the file bag and looked through it. Wen Guzhi continued, "I guess the collective food poisoning incident at Methodist University today was caused by a problem in one of the links. Chi Yao's poisoning was probably a byproduct."
Su Jin was puzzled, "Brother? Why do you say it was just a coincidence? Wasn't she targeting Chi Yao?"
"On my way here, I looked at the menu you sent me. As you said, the taro braised duck is indeed not on the menu of the restaurant on the tenth floor. But I also noticed that other dishes include taro and roast duck, but there are no dishes made with fresh duck meat, so I guess the duck meat is made from ingredients in the cafeteria downstairs."
Then, he looked down at Rotman and said, "You should have known this a long time ago, so you specially ordered a dish of braised duck with taro, right?"
As he spoke, he leaned down, and like a dark cloud covering the sky, the shadow blocked out all the light on Rottoman's face.
"You've disliked Wing Shake for a long time, so you're taking this opportunity to drag her into it, right?"
Luo Tuoman stared at Wen Guzhi for a while, then smiled charmingly, raised her hand and slid it gently down Wen Guzhi's collar, then grabbed his lapel with a little force.
"So you blamed me for the food poisoning because something happened to Xiao Yehua. Then what? My cousin is my cousin, and I am me. What does something that happened to the canteen run by their family have to do with me? It's so far-fetched. Brother Zhi, Brother Zhi, it turns out that you are also in love, but you have to have evidence, and you can't slander good people."
"Indeed." Wen Guzhi pulled away Luo Tuoman's hand, stood up, and patted his clothes like a whisk. "What I said just now was just an inference based on the information I know so far. However, I know your motives very well."
Rotman acted as if Wen Guzhi had hurt her hand. She put it to her lips and exhaled, then raised her index finger and looked up.
"Go ahead. I've heard you all this time. I want to see what other exciting stories Brother Zhi can tell me."
"Are you sure?" Wen Guzhi asked meaningfully, "Are you sure you want me to say it here?"
"Oh, my brother Zhi, why have you become so fussy? This is not handsome at all."
Reviewing the past will give you a straightforward understanding.
"Your cousin must be the shadow of your childhood."
