43 EVERYTHING WAS TRUE (2/2)

”Then, what happened?” she asked while her eyes glinted in impatience.

”Actually, I am not sure. I did not think much about it when I saw her do something to her drink because she was the one gong to drink it. But then later during dinner, I asked my colleagues about her because she had not returned since then. One of them told me that she had seen her with the CEO, and she had even brought him a glass of champagne. I connected the dots and felt afraid. So, I decided to look for help.” She concluded with a choking voice.

Almost everything she had said was true. The events could be verified. Jian Ru was not so stupid to imagine that Zhong Mian would believe her words immediately. Moreover, there were security cameras in the hotel. If her words were discovered to be false, everything would fall apart.

Zhong Mian nodded and made a short call to the security surveillance team to verify the details. After a few short moments, her face became pale. She looked at Jian Ru with an appreciative gaze. According to the security, everything she had said was true, even though they did not see Hu Lei tamper with the drink. However, this type of action was almost impossible to catch if it was done by a person who knew what they were doing.

”Ms Jian, what is that woman's name?” She asked with gritted teeth.

Jian Ru seemed to be reluctant about betraying her colleague.

”I will find out even if you do not help me.” Her voice turned hostile.

”It's Hu Lei.” She finally said in a small voice.

Zhong Mian's face became dark when she heard that name. How could not recognise that surname? It had been her father's song for the last two weeks. He had been reminiscing about how the godly doctor Hu was a man sent by the heavens and how their family owed him.

Though her father was a little tight-lipped on their exact issues he was referring to, he had revealed that the daughter of the so-called doctor was working for Zhong Feng. She had felt that the whole matter was shady, but she did not want to annoy her brother by asking or investigating.

She had a clear grasp of her brother's personality. If she looked into his personal affairs, things might not end well for her.

”Ms Jian, please return and enjoy the festivities. Do not speak to anyone else about the matters you have told me. I will find time to show my appreciation properly.”

With that, Zhong Mian walked away, leaving a smug Jian Ru who maintained her concerned façade.
