"This isn’t mine! She must have just planted it on ! You must be in cahoots with Song Qingya to fra !"
The people nearby heard Wen Xiuxiu’s shouting and shook their heads in disbelief.
"How can you say that with a clear conscience? We were all watching! When would Sister Jiang have had a chance to plant anything?"
one person said.
"Yeah, Sister Jiang has worked here for over a decade. She’s incredibly well-liked. Why would she fra a stranger? Does that even make sense to you?"
Another person chid in.
"Sister Jiang has never even t you before. The way you’re just spouting nonsense is really an eye-opener for us."
another person said, their tone laced with clear annoyance.
"There’s a line you don’t cross. How can you falsely accuse Sister Jiang?"
The people around them were all trying to reason with Wen Xiuxiu, hoping she would calm down.
Clearly, Wen Xiuxiu had picked the wrong target.
The woman who searched her, Sister Jiang, was highly respected here.
Sister Jiang was so kind-hearted, she wouldn’t even step on an ant.
Why would she fra a stranger she had never t?
Wen Xiuxiu was completely finished this ti.
The people who had felt a shred of pity for her now looked at her with nothing but disgust.
Her behavior had cost her everyone’s trust.
The mont the dic saw what Sister Jiang had found, his expression changed instantly.
"Let see that,"
the dic said.
"Here."
Sister Jiang handed the small scent tube to the dic.
The dic examined the object carefully.
’This is one of those illegal items that have been circulating on the black market recently.’
A wave of horror washed over him. ’How could such a young girl have the nerve and the connections to get her hands on this kind of contraband?’
’And how dare she use it on a married man?’
He was utterly shocked.
Director Yang still hadn’t realized the severity of the problem.
He was still pressing for details. "What’s going on here? It just looks like a regular cigarette. Don’t tell she smokes?"
Hearing this, the dic felt a bit exasperated.
He had no choice but to say, "Director Yang, let’s step outside to talk."
「After leaving the room.」
The dic told him his suspicions.
"I’ve never seen the real thing myself, but it looks a lot like that drug circulating on the black market. Besides, based on the gentleman’s behavior just now, his symptoms are definitely consistent with being drugged."
"This is outrageous!"
Director Yang, who had seed relatively calm until now, suddenly yelled, startling even the dic beside him.
Realizing he had lost his composure, he struggled to control his breathing.
Then he let out a long sigh and began to pace back and forth in the narrow hallway.
’To think of how that young girl was crying so pitifully just now.’
’We thought it was just a prank and didn’t pay it much mind.’
’But who would have thought it would be sothing so vile?’
’If that girl had actually succeeded, the best-case scenario would be her using it for blackmail to extort money. In the worst-case, she could have waited until he lost control and then turned around and accused him of assault.’
’For that man, if this got out and led to a scandal, he wouldn’t just lose his job—he’d probably end up in prison.’
’And all of it would have co down to that one girl’s word.’
Director Yang felt a growing sense of dread.
’How can such a young girl be so vicious!’
’She clearly wasn’t disciplined enough as a child.’
’If it were anyone else, they probably would have already started grabbing the girl’s hair and tearing at her clothes by now.’
Then Director Yang asked the dic.
"Is there an antidote for this drug, then? The shot you gave the gentleman worked. Is he going to be fine now?"
The dic gave a bitter smile.
"How could it be that simple? There’s no specific antidote for this kind of drug. Even if there were, it would have significant side effects."
"Then what do we do?"
The dic seed to hesitate, his face flushing as he addressed the question.
"Actually, while this stuff is troubleso, it’s not entirely without a solution. After all, it’s ant to... encourage relations between a man and a woman... and his wife is right inside."
After a few seconds of silence, he steeled himself.
’How am I supposed to bring sothing like this up?’
’Oh, to hell with it. This happened on my watch, so I’ll just have to swallow my pride.’
He went into the room, called Song Qingya out, and quietly explained the situation to her.
He had expected her to be embarrassed and mortified.
But to his surprise, Song Qingya just nodded calmly.
"I understand what you an. But before I take my husband ho, please help confirm one detail."
"What detail?"
Director Yang asked, confused.
"She was caught red-handed just now, and everyone saw with their own eyes that the drug was found on Wen Xiuxiu. I hope that if a witness is needed in the future, you, Director, and the staff here will be willing to cooperate and state the truth."
"That’s it?"
"Yes."
Song Qingya was well aware.
She needed to present a different attitude for different occasions.
Sotis, a firm attitude could help her avoid unnecessary trouble.
And other tis, showing a gentler side was more conducive to solving problems.
Appreciating her cooperative attitude, Director Yang proactively made a suggestion.
"If you’d like, we can provide a car to take you ho."
"Alright."
After a mont’s thought, Song Qingya agreed to the offer.
"In that case, please assign a driver to go with us. I don’t want to ride in the sa car as Wen Xiuxiu,"
she said calmly.
"No problem. Rest assured, I’ll arrange it for you right away!"
Hearing Song Qingya’s reply, Director Yang imdiately agreed.
In truth, for Song Qingya, such a request was not excessive.
After all, no one would want to be in the sa enclosed space as the woman who had drugged their husband.
Afterwards, escorted by several guesthouse employees, Song Qingya helped a still-dazed Fei Jin into the car driven by Xiao Yang.
She was already planning to take action first thing the next morning.
It wasn’t just about taking Wen Xiuxiu to the Public Security Bureau for investigation.
She wouldn’t let the old bachelor locked up in the pigsty off the hook either.
’A clean sweep,’
she thought to herself.
Song Qingya decided to find a trustworthy witness to accompany her.
In the end, Song Qingya specifically requested that the guesthouse send an employee along as an escort.
Based on her brief interactions with the various employees earlier, she quickly zeroed in on her target.
The enthusiastic and professional Sister Jiang.
"Sorry to trouble you, Sister Jiang,"
Song Qingya said softly, a hint of apology in her voice.
"Don’t ntion it, don’t ntion it! Just leave this kind of thing to !"
Sister Jiang replied with a smile.
"I’ve seen plenty of slippery characters like her. Very few can get away with anything right under my nose!"
Wen Xiuxiu’s mouth was sealed with tape, her hands and feet were bound, and she was shoved into the guesthouse’s car.
To prevent Wen Xiuxiu from escaping, Sister Jiang got in the car with her, keeping a close eye on her every move the entire ti.
