Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Even though I already knew Zhou Yu was in the Yunlan Group's lap, I had no evidence to support my claim. I asked someone to obtain the deceased's original autopsy report, and while reviewing it, I found something very suspicious. Even 20 milligrams of aflatoxin can kill someone, but the autopsy report showed a concentration of several hundred milligrams. Based on this level, the deceased should have died instantly, not fallen into a coma and could have been resuscitated. The autopsy showed such a high concentration, and there was a gap between the time of rescue and the time of death. And Zhou Yu was in the Yunlan Group's lap... A rather ominous theory flashed through my mind! If that were the case, Rong Shibing was truly terrifying!

Even a layman like me would be suspicious of such data. Wouldn't a professional forensic doctor be suspicious too? What could be going on? I quickly dispatched personnel to investigate the individuals involved in the autopsy, and sure enough, a large sum of money had been wired into someone's account! I spent half a day trying to piece together the entire story. I couldn't confirm whether Rong Shibing and Bao Guoqiang had colluded, but the evidence was sufficient to prove the deceased's death was intentional, not accidental. That was more than enough!

I handed the evidence I collected to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), which was very swift in handling the case and apprehended the individuals involved that same day. Based on their accounts, we learned the truth about the deceased's death.

The deceased could have been saved, but Rong Shibing of the Yunlan Group bribed a nurse to administer an overdose of aflatoxin. However, the nurse failed to properly control the dosage, resulting in an abnormally high concentration, which would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the medical examiner. To conceal the truth, Rong Shibing bribed the medical examiner's assistant to falsify the autopsy report and handed it to the medical examiner. The medical examiner's assistant initially intended to destroy the original data, but he didn't realize that an intern had copied the data for archiving before the assistant's manipulation. It wasn't until I received the original data that the medical examiner discovered the discrepancy between the original data and the data provided by his assistant.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption quickly informed the police of the case, and the police quickly arrested Rong Shibing and the relevant personnel. The direct cause of death was not moldy peanuts, but an aflatoxin overdose. Fu Sheng Liu Ji was indeed negligent, but they had made every effort to rescue the victim. Ultimately, the direct cause of the victim's death was not Fu Sheng Liu Ji, so I took the opportunity to release Rong Zixuan on bail.

I'd just bailed out Rong Zixuan when Rong Shibing was also released on bail. I'd learned his secretary had confessed and taken all the blame. I'd planned to cut off the source of the trouble, bringing the Yunlan Group down, but this secretary couldn't ruin my plans! I was desperately trying to come up with a plan, but unexpectedly, fate was on my side this time!

"I can provide you with evidence to send Rong Shibing to jail. Can you give me some money?" Zhou Yu came to my house and asked to see me. I was surprised that he made such a direct request as soon as we met.

"What evidence do you have?" I asked tentatively.

"I secretly recorded the conversation between him and his secretary!" Zhou Yu showed me the video, which was indeed a conversation that could prove that Rong Shibing was the real murderer behind the scenes.

"Didn't you take their money? And you betrayed them?" I continued to test them.

"You know everything? But you have no evidence to prove that I was the one who put the moldy peanuts there, right!" Zhou Yu showed a cunning smile.

"Yes, but anything you do will leave traces. Just because I can't find it now doesn't mean I will never find it!" I looked at her firmly.

"What if I say that not only can I give you this video now, but I'm also willing to turn myself in and admit that I deliberately planted the moldy peanuts to frame Fu Sheng Liuji?"

Zhou Yu’s answer surprised me, “Why?”

"I need money!" Zhou Yu answered confidently.

"Hasn't your gambling debt been paid off? You won't owe gambling debts again, will you?" I smiled and picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Since you know everything, I'm not afraid to tell you. Yes, I was bribed by Rong Shibing. He wanted me to make trouble in Fu Sheng Liu Ji and ruin its reputation. The bigger the noise, the more money he would give me. Originally, I wanted to seduce the store manager to make some romantic news, but I didn't expect him not to take the bait. So I came up with the idea of food poisoning, but I didn't know that moldy peanuts were poisonous. I thought it would just cause diarrhea! If I had known that moldy peanuts were poisonous, I would definitely not do it!" Zhou Yu regretted what he had done.

"It's common sense that moldy peanuts are poisonous. Don't you know that? Didn't your teacher teach you that when you were in school?" I was very angry at her ignorance.

"I don't have good grades and I haven't been to school much. I didn't even graduate from elementary school. I can't compare to you elites from prestigious schools." Zhou Yu said this with a very low self-esteem.

Her low self-esteem made me feel like I had really hurt her, and for a moment I felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"I know, but I have no education and no skills. I only have a good-looking appearance. I can only seduce men. I can't do anything else." Zhou Yu said with a wry smile, lowering his head.

"But you're still so young, it's not too late for you to learn. But you shouldn't go astray!"

"Do you think I want to? Do you know why my name is Zhou Yu? Redundant! I am redundant! I was born a girl and my father disliked me very much. He divorced my mother and even kicked my sister out of the house. I grew up under the hard work of my mother. After the divorce, my father quickly married a new wife and had two sons, but he also got addicted to gambling. He borrowed from relatives and friends and couldn't borrow money, so he came to my mother for money. My mother had no money to give him, so he beat my mother to death. My mother dragged her injuries and forced herself to smile and said she fell! She didn't want us to know anything! Later, my mother was pushed downstairs by him and became paralyzed. He began to force my two sisters and me to go out to borrow money, and even to sell ourselves! My sister has good academic performance, but I am not good at studying. In order to protect my sister, I agreed to his request!" Zhou Yu told her story calmly, as calmly as if this had never happened to her.

"What! How can there be such a beastly father!" I was very shocked.

"Because I'm a beautiful woman, men are willing to spend money on me. After my father got the money, he became even more ruthless and eventually forced me to borrow money. I don't know where he ran away, but I still have to pay off the debts he left behind because I wrote the IOU! When I was being chased by creditors and had no way out, Rong Shibing came to me and told me that if I helped him destroy the reputation of Fu Sheng Liu Ji, he would help me pay off my debts. I was really desperate and had no choice but to agree to his offer."

"How does Rong Shibing know you?" I was very confused, but the previous information came to my mind. It turned out that the playboy of the Rong family that Zhong Jiaying mentioned was Rong Shibing. They knew each other when they were in Australia!

"We met in Australia! At the time, I was working as a waiter at a banquet for a wealthy family. The banquet was full of wealthy men, so I wanted to find a man to spend money on me, so I seduced him. Rong Shibing quickly took the bait."

"Okay! I'm sorry for what you've been through, but you shouldn't have indulged yourself like this!" I feel sorry for her life.

"My body and everything I have was given to me by my mother. I would give anything for her! My mother was pushed down the stairs by him and is paralyzed. She needs a huge amount of medical treatment. I can't care less about anything for the sake of money!"

"I know what you mean. How much do you want?"

"One hundred million!" Zhou Yu was very confident again.

"You have quite an appetite!"

"This amount of money is a lot for us, but it should be nothing for you!"

"But do you think you're worth that much money?"

"It's not about whether I'm worthy or not, but this 100 million can clear Fu Sheng Liu Ji's name! My surrender proves that there are no problems with Fu Sheng Liu Ji's management. This was a deliberate frame-up by me! It also slaps the faces of those colleagues who have been smearing Fu Sheng Liu Ji for so long! So this 100 million is not excessive!"

"You want to use this money to treat your mother's illness?"

"Yes! And my sister is also graduating this year. She has a stable boyfriend. I hope to relieve some of her pressure so that she can have a happy family." Zhou Yu's eyes were full of longing.

"You're not a bad person, but you were born into the wrong family! Go back first! I'll think about it!" I said as I stood up. I was about to turn around but turned back and said to her, "Your home is probably quite far from here. You can take a taxi home with this little money!"

Zhou Yu was very surprised when he saw the check in his hand and gave me a look of gratitude.
