Lai Yuaner had just apologized and temporarily exited the entertainnt industry. If another drug scandal was exposed and confird, she could forget about making a coback. Last ti, Lai Yuaner wasn’t afraid to take a hair follicle test, but this ti it was different; she had taken drugs in recent days, and the drug residue in her body would take at least three months to disappear.
Now, Shen Na was a ticking ti bomb.
Leaving before the bomb exploded was the wisest choice.
"As long as you’re not in the country, even if she accuses you of taking drugs to the journalists, we can claim she’s slandering you," Lai Shengxia stood by the bed and continued, "The journalists can’t go abroad to bring you back for testing. You went overseas to clear your mind first, and Shen Na blew the whistle afterwards. Everyone will think she’s kicking soone while they’re down."
Ouyang Qian got up: "I’ll help Yuanyuan pack her luggage right now."
Lai Yuaner sat on the bed, her complexion pale, unable to comprehend why Shen Na would betray her.
"But by the ti I return to Capital, we still haven’t sent a handwritten letter, nor have we blad her," Lai Yuaner tried to understand, "I’ve already agreed with her that, after this is over, even if she can’t be my assistant anymore, I will give her a sum of money."
"Perhaps, she had already guessed this outco."
And therefore she couldn’t accept it.
Realizing she would be thrown under the bus, she simply decided to drag Lai Yuaner down with her.
Sotis, the psychology of a petty person is truly frightening.
In the hospital corridor, Han Jifeng stood by the window, his cellphone’s earpiece transmitting a woman’s submissive voice: "After you left that day, Lai Yuaner ca to see at the hospital. I’d already given her half of the pills, and when I called her yesterday, she said she was taking them."
At this point, Shen Na paused for a few seconds before tentatively continuing: "I’ve done what you asked to do, the promise you made ..."
"As long as you keep quiet, the things you worry about won’t show up at the police station."
Han Jifeng said just that.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Na clenched her cellphone and heaved a sigh of relief, then assured: "I won’t do anything in the future. I’m no longer Lai Yuaner’s assistant, but—"
She expressed her worries: "If I’ve given the drugs to Lai Yuaner, what if the Lai Family cos for ? They definitely won’t let go."
A few days ago, at noon when the recording and bungee-jumping incident was turned on its head and posted on V-blog, this man showed up in her hospital room.
Shen Na had been Lai Yuaner’s assistant since her college days, frequently visiting the Lai Family, and heard Lai Yuaner ntion that Tang Li had a crush on Lai Shengxia’s ex-boyfriend. She had not seen Han Jifeng in person, so she didn’t recognize him when he ca in and sat down in the chair by the bed.
After a while, a small knife was placed on the bedside table.
Shen Na looked at the small knife, puzzled.
But to her surprise, the man said the knife was the tool used to cut the bungee cord.
The actual tool was well hidden in her bag, how could it be that knife?!
She felt irritated, wanting to call the nurse to throw the person out.
Shen Na still rembered his reaction; he said that it wasn’t up to her to decide what the tool for the cri was. Realizing that this person’s identity was not ordinary, she was too frightened to speak. Then, the man placed a small bag of pills next to the knife, it was more like a threat than a choice.
She guessed what the pills were.
Before the man left, he only left one sentence behind.
—Let Lai Yuaner take a pill from the bag.
In the afternoon, when Lai Yuaner ca to the hospital, she was both consoling her and saying goodbye, but she had no intention of taking her back to Capital. Feeling a bad hunch as well as the fear that the man might actually send her to prison, she simply gave the pills to Lai Yuaner.
