    Chapter 116: Ruan Ying’s Actions

    After Pei Qingqing went out, Ruan Ying paused at the door for a moment, then followed her out.

    Instead of going upstairs as she had said, she also headed downstairs.

    Silently following behind Pei Qingqing, she turned around only after seeing her enter the small kitchen.

    She still didn’t go upstairs, but headed towards the entrance.

    Wu Xiaomei at the front desk was asleep on the desk! She didn’t notice the power outage at Slow Residence at all.

    Ruan Ying slowly moved to the counter, looking around with the emergency lights.

    Pei Qingqing’s outburst had made her a little scared. She was afraid she would fall into a trap designed by Jin Mo or Jin Baiyan.

    For safety’s sake, she had to observe further.

    She pushed open the door of Slow Residence and stepped outside.

    It was completely dark outside too!

    The streetlights weren’t on either!

    Seeing this, Ruan Ying suddenly felt that maybe she was just overthinking things.

    How could Jin Baiyan and the others turn off the electricity at Slow Residence and also turn off the streetlights outside?

    Thinking this, she quickly returned. Passing by the small kitchen, she peeked inside through the crack in the door.

    Pei Qingqing was almost done.

    The corner of her mouth curved into a smile, and then she quickly went upstairs, heading straight for the third floor.

    The third floor was very quiet, with Xiao Feiwu’s snoring occasionally drifting over.

    She slightly bent over, looking for the best hiding place.

    There were a total of four large suites on the third floor, two on each side, connected by a long corridor in the middle.

    There was almost no place to hide.

    She thought about it and continued to go up.

    There was a recreation area on the top floor, with a transparent canopy, two tables, and several chairs. It didn’t seem like there was anywhere to hide there either.

    Ruan Ying felt a little discouraged. Was she just going to give up like this?

    No, the opportunity was rare, and she couldn’t give up.

    Thinking this, she turned around and went back downstairs.

    Weren’t there still two empty suites?

    She wanted to see if she could get into those two rooms.

    Since no one lived there, they wouldn’t be cleaned, and hiding inside would be relatively safe. Moreover, there would be water and food inside. If she could get in, it would definitely be the best hiding place.

    She pressed her ear to the door of each room, listening.

    She quickly confirmed Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao’s rooms.

    She listened for a long time before confirming Jin Mo and Jin Baiyan’s room.

    After confirming, she immediately went to the door of the room opposite and reached out to grasp the doorknob, twisting it.

    The door made a slight “click” sound and opened.

    She was overjoyed and quickly slipped inside, closing the door and standing by the door, gasping for breath.

    After recovering, she secured the door and sat on the sofa, took out her phone, and waited for a call.

    As she waited, she felt a little sleepy and leaned on the sofa, closing her eyes, preparing to take a nap.

    When she woke up again, the sky was already slightly bright.

    She was so startled that she almost jumped up.

    She opened her phone and looked at it. It was already 5:30, and the WeChat icon showed more than a dozen unread messages.

    They were all from Pei Qingqing.

    Pei Qingqing: I’m done here, how’s it going on your end?

    Pei Qingqing: Why no response?

    Pei Qingqing: What’s going on with you? I don’t dare to call, and you’re not replying to texts, it’s really making me anxious! Should I come up and check on you?

    Pei Qingqing: Aiya, the power just came back on as I got to the third floor entrance, I can’t go up! Forget it, I’ll go back first, be careful and don’t get caught!

    Pei Qingqing: You wouldn’t have fallen and fainted, right? Or have you already been caught? Also, what exactly is that medicine, will it kill anyone?

    Pei Qingqing: Reply to a message?

    Pei Qingqing: What’s wrong? Are you dead?

    Pei Qingqing: F* your sister!

    The last few messages were all curses!

    Ruan Ying could imagine how furious Pei Qingqing was as she looked at the messages.

    She felt a little annoyed, but also felt that it was her own mistake.

    Looking at the message timestamps, Pei Qingqing said the message about the power coming back on was sent around 4:00 AM.

    At that time, she was sleeping soundly.

    She cursed herself inwardly, how could she fall asleep at such a dangerous moment?

    She picked up her phone and sent a message to Pei Qingqing.

    Ruan Ying: Sorry, I was hiding in a room opposite Jin Baiyan and the others, and I was planning to wait for the power to come back on, but I accidentally fell asleep! Try to stay in as much as possible today to avoid being exposed.

    After thinking about it, she sent another message.

    Ruan Ying: When you go out to get takeout, ask people if there was a power outage last night? Or was it only at Slow Residence?

    Ruan Ying: The medicine is just sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs, it won’t kill anyone.

    Pei Qingqing was lying in bed, almost fainting from anxiety, when she finally received Ruan Ying’s message. After reading it, she almost exploded.

    She had been anxiously tossing and turning all night, and Ruan Ying was actually asleep!

    “Hehe!” She sneered twice. As expected, she was a scheming and composed person. She could sleep peacefully in enemy territory, amazing!

    Pei Qingqing had to admit that her level was hundreds of thousands of miles behind Ruan Ying.

    She was the one who proposed the drugging, but she only prepared two packs of sleeping pills, and they weren’t even tested.

    But Ruan Ying had actually prepared a high-tech product that could remotely control the switch!

    Last night, she looked at the medicine under the phone light. There were two colors, blue and red, so it shouldn’t be just one type of medicine.

    Each compartment had a door that could move up and down, so that should be a controllable valve.

    She didn’t know what kind of medicine they were?

    Would they kill anyone?

    She put the medicine in, so if something happened, she couldn’t escape responsibility!

    Thinking this, she felt a little apprehensive.

    She wanted to ask Ruan Ying, but she hadn’t received a reply, which made her very uneasy.

    Since she was little, she had said a lot of harsh words to Jin Mo.

    Things like killing him, crippling him, and ruining him were commonplace, but the number of times she actually carried them out was very few.

    The most extreme thing she had done was to find some hooligans to block Jin Mo.

    Jin Mo only suffered some minor injuries, but she was beaten so badly that she was almost crippled!

    The key was that she was beaten twice! Each time was more ruthless than the last!

    She confronted Jin Mo, but Jin Mo wouldn’t admit it!

    Since then, she had been a little afraid of Jin Mo!

    This time, she was quite brave at first, but afterwards, lying in bed, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more she felt that she had been rash!

    She wanted to back out! She even ran to the small kitchen to take out the medicine.

    But the power came back on! The access control was on, and she couldn’t get in.

    The messages she sent to Ruan Ying were like stones sinking into the sea, which almost turned her into a fire person!

    It wasn’t until she saw Ruan Ying’s message that she breathed a sigh of relief.

    It was just sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs, so it was okay, it wouldn’t kill anyone! Even if something went wrong, she could ask Jin Mother for forgiveness, and it should be okay.

    However, she was afraid that she would be madly retaliated against by Jin Mo!

    If she succeeded, Jin Baiyan would be entangled with her.

    Maybe he would change his mind, fall in love with women, fall in love with her!

    That would be great!

    If he was still stubborn, she would use the photos to threaten him.

    Once the photos were exposed, Jin Corporation’s shares would definitely fall. He wouldn’t care, but his aunt and uncle would definitely care, so she could get a title for herself.

    The more Pei Qingqing thought about it, the more excited she became!

    The fear she had felt before had long disappeared!

    Success or failure would be decided today!

    After quickly going through her thoughts, she picked up her phone and started replying to Ruan Ying’s message.

    Pei Qingqing: Okay, okay, I’ll listen to your command!

    Pei Qingqing: Oh, don’t take the things I said to you before to heart, I was just anxious, you know, I get confused when I’m anxious!

    Pei Qingqing: I’ll go ask around when it gets light!

    Ruan Ying replied “Okay” and put down her phone, walked to the door, and looked outside through the peephole.

    It was very quiet outside, and clearly, no one had gotten up yet.
