The two of them seemed to be discussing something, but I couldn't hear them clearly.

I could only vaguely hear words like "medicinal herbs," and it seemed like my name was mentioned as well.

It seems to be about Jiang Yichen's poisoning.

I took a deep breath, tried my best to stay calm, and carefully walked in.

The moment Lin Nan saw me, her face fell.

Perhaps because of Jiang Yichen, she didn't directly lash out at me.

I know I've come at the wrong time.

But I couldn't worry about that now. I looked at the man on the hospital bed and said, "Jiang Yichen, I didn't hurt you."

Jiang Yichen's attitude was very cold, clearly indicating that he did not believe me.

"Gu Mo, you're being far too hypocritical."

My heart sank a little, but I still wanted to defend myself, "I really didn't do it, you have to believe me."

Seeing that I was stubborn and wouldn't admit it, Lin Nan finally lost her temper and scolded me, "Gu Mo, that's enough. The police will judge whether you did it or not. Don't bother Yichen again."

Judging from their attitude, I knew that no matter what I said, they wouldn't believe me.

A feeling of oppression welled up inside me, and I felt suffocated.

Before I could say anything more, Lin Nan had someone kick me out.

Leaving the hospital, I felt very sad, but more than anything, I wanted to prove my innocence.

Since it was a pharmacy clerk who identified me, I decided to investigate myself and find out the truth.

Since they don't believe me, I'll get the evidence and then slap it in their faces.

Then I went to the pharmacy to find that clerk.

But he has already resigned.

What kind of crazy thing is this?

She falsely accused me of instructing her to switch the poisonous ingredients for Jiang Yichen, and then resigned.

I don't believe it's such a coincidence.

There must be some unknown secret in this.

After making several inquiries, I learned the shop assistant's address and then went to stake out his home.

To my surprise, I waited all night but didn't see him come home.

It wasn't until dawn that the shop assistant sauntered back from outside.

He was clearly hungover and hadn't returned home all night.

I secretly memorized his house number, intending to investigate further.

Through inquiries with neighbors and the building's cleaning lady, I unexpectedly learned that it was common for this shop assistant to stay out all night.

This makes me even more suspicious.

After following him for several days, I had almost figured out his lifestyle.

He usually goes out at night and doesn't return home until dawn.

My favorite place to go is a bar.

Wandering around and shopping is his usual routine.

But he was just an ordinary office worker before, where would he get so much money to go through all this trouble?

Finally, one day, I discovered something amiss at the bar he frequented.

I saw him drinking with a host from Feiyu Entertainment at a bar.

The livestreamer was leaning against the shop assistant, looking rather ambiguous.

It seems their relationship is far from simple.

I filmed this scene with my phone.

Then, I quietly moved closer to the two of them.

The bar was noisy, and the music was deafening, so I couldn't hear their conversation very clearly.

But you could tell they were excited, as if they were celebrating something.

Suddenly, a different thought came to my mind.

Feiyu Entertainment is a competitor of our company, and the anchors they train largely overlap with those of our company.

I also know the streamer who's drinking with the shop assistant now.

That's Marilyn Monroe, the top anchor at Feiyu Entertainment and the queen of the dance competition.

She's very popular online, and even if someone spent a fortune on her live stream, she might not pay any attention. But now...

That shop assistant obviously couldn't be her older brother.

The fact that the two met privately suggests an unusual relationship, which is indeed worth careful consideration.

Marilyn Monroe wouldn't lower herself to drink with him unless...

I've considered a million possibilities.

The cause was eventually traced back to poisoning.

Was Jiang Yichen poisoned because Marilyn Monroe instigated it?

But she had no grudge against Jiang Yichen, so why would she want to harm him?

No, it's Feiyu.

A more plausible explanation is that Feiyu Entertainment intentionally harmed Jiang Yichen by having Menglu instigate the store clerk to change the medication.

In the end, they shifted the blame onto me.

I gritted my teeth in anger.

That's outrageous! They actually used me as a pawn.

The Gu family has fallen, but I was once the most proud young lady in Tongcheng. How can I let them take advantage of me like this?

To thoroughly investigate Feiyu Entertainment, I plan to go undercover myself.

I submitted my resume to Feiyu Entertainment through the platform.

Their HR was very interested after seeing my experience and scheduled an interview for me the next day.

I dressed up carefully, prepared my words, and went alone.

During the interview, the interviewer asked me some pointed questions about why I chose Feiyu Entertainment.

The image of Jiang Yichen humiliating me flashed through my mind. I cursed him a thousand times in my heart, my eyes filled with resentment. "I hate Jiang Yichen. I don't want him to have an easy time."

Upon hearing my answer, the interviewer's expression became subtle.

He used my topic to delve deeper into the subject.

"Tell me more specifically."

“Ever since our divorce, he has humiliated me repeatedly, and because of him, everyone looks down on me.”

Clearly, the interviewer was not off guard by my answer and questioned, "Ms. Gu, as far as we know, you are currently employed by Jiang Yichen's company."

I had expected them to say that, so I feigned anger and said, "It was out of necessity. Now that he's on the verge of death and has falsely accused me of poisoning him, why should I stay?"

When the words "poisoning" were mentioned, the interviewer's gaze became even more ambiguous.

He replied with a smile, "Just a moment."

A moment later, the door was pushed open again, but the interviewer was different.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, I immediately recognized him as Ning Zhan, the special assistant to Hong Yu, the president of Feiyu Entertainment.

Seeing Ning Zhan only strengthened my conviction.

Jiang Yichen's poisoning is undoubtedly related to Feiyu Entertainment.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any evidence yet.

Ning Zhan's expression was subtle. He looked me up and down and asked, "Jiang Yichen has been poisoned?"

His voice carried a hint of smugness.

"How is he now?"

“The situation is very bad.” I looked up and our eyes met.

Suddenly, Ning Zhan changed the subject, seemingly implying, "Feiyu needs absolutely loyal partners. Miss Gu, you know what to do over there, right?"

I understand what he means; he simply wants me to be Feiyu Entertainment's informant, to keep a close watch on Jiang Yichen.

I naturally wouldn't agree directly, so I just said ambiguously, "I know."

Ning Zhan was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly, "Feiyu Entertainment needs someone like you to join us."

After I finished talking with Ning Zhan, I went back to the company.

Even though there is no clear evidence at present, I am clear that Feiyu Entertainment is not innocent in the matter of Jiang Yichen's poisoning.

Now all we need to do is wait for them to make a mistake.

I had just started my live stream, ready to catch up on the time I'd missed the last few days, when I heard a commotion outside.

Not long after, Lao Mo entered my workspace, looking like something terrible had happened.
