Chapter 118: Taken Down in One Fell Swoop

Just as Jin Mo was about to ask something, the two who had said they were going out to buy clothes five minutes ago walked back in.

“Wow!” His mouth dropped open, a look of shock on his face.

After the two came in, they sat down on chairs.

“Ruan Ying is still in room 304!” Xu Jiahao said, while looking at his phone, “Good heavens, she’s actually eating and drinking!”

Jin Mo snatched Xu Jiahao’s phone.

Damn it! It was a surveillance video.

Ruan Ying was lying on the sofa, eating a chocolate bar specially supplied by Slow Residence (Màn jū), with a bottle of opened water on the table next to her. The room’s layout clearly indicated that it wasn’t her original room.

Jin Mo put down the phone, reached out and grabbed Bai Xian’s collar, pulling his face close to his own.

“Bai Xian!” He squinted at Bai Xian, a mischievous smile on his lips, “Why do I feel like I missed something?”

Bai Xian reached out, pulled him into his arms, and sat down.

Jin Mo wrapped his arms around Bai Xian’s neck, staring intently at Bai Xian, waiting for someone’s confession.

Bai Xian smiled and gave Xu Jiahao a look.

Receiving the instruction, Xu Jiahao immediately brought up the surveillance footage from last night.

Jin Mo watched it like a horror movie.

“The power went out last night?” He put down his phone, looked at Bai Xian, and then at the other two.

Xiao Feiwu pointed at himself, “I turned it off! A few days ago, Ah Hao and I figured out the location of the village’s power switch!”

Jin Mo gave him a thumbs up.

Xiao Feiwu scratched his head and pointed at Bai Xian.

“Bai Xian gave the order!”

Jin Mo naturally knew that the guy holding him was the chief planner.

“You overheard my conversation with Brother Xu yesterday, so you decided to take action?” Jin Mo leaned close to Bai Xian, asking with a smile.

Bai Xian nodded.

“A two-pronged approach!”

Jin Mo “oh”ed.

From the moment Ruan Ying and Pei Qingqing appeared at Slow Residence (Màn jū), he had Xu Jiahao and Xiao Feiwu contact Huzi and Xiao Ping in Kun City to investigate Ruan Ying.

He firmly believed that Ruan Ying wouldn’t come just because she liked him.

According to what she said, they had been classmates for four years. If she wanted to make a move, she should have done it earlier. Why wait until now?

As expected, upon investigation, her intentions were not what they seemed.

Ruan Ying’s father, Ruan Jinzhong, ran a company called “Guangmei Electronics,” which mainly produced various adapters for electronic products, most of which were sold to Jin Corporation.

Recently, in order to reduce costs, Jin Corporation added two other suppliers, and the proportion of products purchased from “Guangmei Electronics” decreased.

This was not a good sign for “Guangmei Electronics,” as profits would drop sharply.

Jin Mo guessed that they must have learned that he had become the General Manager of Jin Corporation and had set their sights on him.

Ruan Ying was his classmate, making her the perfect candidate!

Jin Mo almost laughed when he received the investigation report.

He was an adopted son, without money or background. He had been unremarkable for four years as a classmate, and now that he was the General Manager, they came to Heat? (Cling to his popularity/fame)

He had Liu Chen notify the purchasing department that starting next month, the supply proportion of “Guangmei Electronics” products would be further reduced, and if any defective products were found that met the discontinuation criteria, they would be stopped immediately!

Unexpectedly, this action not only failed to calm these people down but instead escalated, and they directly began to take action!

“Bai Xian, did you deliberately let them fall into the trap?” Jin Mo rested his chin in his hand, looking at Bai Xian with a smile.

Bai Xian nodded, raised his hand, and rubbed Jin Mo’s head, faintly uttering one word, “Annoying!”

Jin Mo pursed his lips.

Xu Jiahao leaned over.

“Ruan Ying said that she would open that thing at noon. We took a look this morning, and there seem to be two different types of medicine inside. We don’t know what kind of medicine they are?”

“Take a photo and ask someone?” Xiao Feiwu interjected.

“The medicine looks very high-end, and it has a remote-controlled opening valve. It shouldn’t be something you can buy domestically!” Xu Jiahao shook his head, saying, “Besides, it’s installed in the filter, and we can’t dismantle it ourselves now, to prevent leaving our fingerprints!”

“No matter what it is, it won’t be fatal.” Xiao Feiwu slammed his hand on the table, “Jin Mo and Bai Xian, you two can’t try it. I’ll be the one to try it. If symptoms appear, you call the police!”

Xu Jiahao was stunned at first, then shook his head.

“No, I’ll try it! Your martial arts skills are needed to control Pei Qingqing and Ruan Ying!”

Xiao Feiwu didn’t know what to do after hearing what Xu Jiahao said.

On the one hand, he didn’t want Xu Jiahao to take the risk, but on the other hand, he felt that what he said was right, and he had to deal with Pei Qingqing and Ruan Ying.

Although they were both women, they might not be a match for Xu Jiahao if they went crazy.

Torn between the two, he could only look at Jin Mo.

Jin Mo rested his chin in his hand, happily watching Xiao Feiwu’s conflicted appearance.

“Don’t worry, I guess that medicine is either a sedative or that kind of medicine, no one will die! They just want to get me and Bai Xian, not kill us, so don’t worry, don’t worry!”

Jin Mo patted Xiao Feiwu on the shoulder.

Xiao Feiwu was confused, “That kind of medicine?”

Jin Mo raised his eyebrows, turned and plunged into Bai Xian’s arms, letting out an “ah” sound.

Bai Xian chuckled softly.

Xu Jiahao had a look of despair on his face, reached out and pinched Xiao Feiwu.

Seeing the appearance of several people, Xiao Feiwu immediately understood!

His heart rose again.

What if it really was that kind of medicine? What would happen if Xu Jiahao ate it?

He looked at Xu Jiahao’s flushed face, moved closer to him, and asked in a low voice, “What if it’s that kind of medicine, what should we do if we eat it?”

Xu Jiahao’s face turned red almost to the point of dripping blood, glared at Xiao Feiwu, and spit out two words, “Idiot!”

Xiao Feiwu was scolded, blinked a few times, and suddenly had some evil thoughts in his heart!

If it really was that medicine, wasn’t he still there!

“Hehe!” The rough man laughed twice, his face flushed.

The two stayed directly in the courtyard all morning, not going upstairs.

Bai Xian and Jin Mo deliberately sat in the lobby on the first floor, chatting leisurely.

Pei Qingqing occasionally poked her head out to look downstairs, and then informed Ruan Ying.

At ten thirty, Jin Mo said loudly, “Bai Xian, I’m hungry, let’s make food!”

Bai Xian “hmm”ed, picked up Jin Mo and walked towards the small kitchen.

Hearing this, Pei Qingqing on the second floor immediately went into the room and sent a message to Ruan Ying.

Pei Qingqing: Ruan Ying, Jin Baiyan is preparing to start making lunch!

Seeing the message, Ruan Ying, hiding in 304, immediately sat up and took out a half-finger-length remote control from her pocket.

There were two buttons on it, one red and one blue.

She thought about it, pressed the red button, and then pressed the blue button!

If you’re going to do it, do it right!

At the same time as the button was pressed, Xu Jiahao, who was lying at the door of the lower cabinet downstairs, immediately shouted, “The medicine valve is open, damn it, this woman is really ruthless, she actually opened the valves of both medicines!”

Xiao Feiwu also leaned over.

He saw that the two valves of the transparent plastic box had been opened, water seeped in, and gradually appeared in red and blue, and in less than a second, it turned colorless again!

That noon, the dishes on the table were divided into two portions.

One portion was for Jin Mo, Bai Xian, and Xiao Feiwu, and the other portion was for Xu Jiahao to eat.

Although he didn’t eat much, he was still like a little white mouse in an experiment.

After eating, he lay on the table waiting for the effects of the medicine.

Xiao Feiwu squatted nervously beside him.

Bai Xian, with Jin Mo, went to the third floor.

“Hey, why do I feel like I have a headache, and a bit of a fever!” Standing at the door of the room, Jin Mo deliberately said loudly, “Bai Xian, what about you? Why do I think your face is also a little red!”

Bai Xian faced away from 304, with a smile on his face, looking at Jin Mo in his arms.

“A little!” he said in a low voice.

The conversation between the two, word for word, entered Ruan Ying’s ears hiding behind the cat’s eye.

A wicked smile appeared on her lips.
