Chapter 148: 148 Counterattack (five updates)
After dealing with these matters, Chu Jin picked up the transparent glass bottle on the writing desk.
A wicked smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
It was ti to prepare a big gift for Zhao Yiling.
After consuming one-third of the Invisibility Water, Chu Jin quietly left the room.
Downstairs, Zhao Shentian, Li Ruyu, and Zhao Yiling seed to be discussing sothing.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Jin quickly went to Li Ruyu’s room, and expertly made her way to the inner chamber, cracked the safe password, and opened the safe door.
A glint of gold flashed imdiately.
Chu Jin squinted at the pile of gold bars and ingots before her, sowhat speechless.
Indeed, the greedy always favor things that shimr and shine.
Chu Jin successfully extracted a black bottle from among the heap of jewelry and gold bars, bearing a string of English letters.
Chu Jin opened the lid, took the bottle to her nose, and sniffed, soon after, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
It seed that Li Ruyu was indeed no simple character, to have acquired so much of such a rare drug—she wondered who her backer really was!
With no ti to ponder further, Chu Jin imdiately poured the drugs into a prepared empty bottle, then filled the black bottle with ordinary glucose powder.
Luckily, the drug was also a white powder and appeared no different from the glucose powder at first glance.
After completing the task, Chu Jin restored the safe to its original state, locked it, and quietly left the room.
Then, she turned and entered Zhao Yiling’s room, ready to pour all the drugs into the pearl powder that Zhao Yiling frequently consud. However, she hesitated.
Zhao Yiling added pearl powder to her milk every day to maintain her beauty.
After all, Zhao Yiling was her cousin, related by blood, and besides, Zhao Hai only had this one granddaughter—she couldn’t be too ruthless.
Others might be heartless, but she couldn’t be without conscience.
Then, she poured only half of it in.
Although it would not be fatal, it would still cause Zhao Yiling so trouble.
Moreover, this drug was addictive; once soone started using it, they would long for a second ti. And when it ran out, their entire body would feel as uncomfortable as if millions of ants were gnawing at them. Furthermore, once people stopped using it, their appearance would undergo so changes.
For soone as vain as Zhao Yiling, this would probably be the greatest punishnt.
She hoped that after this incident, Zhao Yiling would turn over a new leaf.
If the drug was used for an extended period or in excessive amounts, it could be lethal.
Moreover, the death would be so quiet that even the best dical practices couldn’t trace a sliver of evidence.
Fifty minutes had passed, and after finishing her work, Chu Jin imdiately returned to her own bedroom.
Little did she know that at this mont, a hot search had already surfaced on an official APP.
*Shocking! Mysterious tycoon anonymously donates 60 million to support impoverished mountain areas, leaves no na!*
In an instant, the whole internet boiled over.
[Netizen A]: Rich people, rich people~ let’s be friends!
[Netizen B]: Wealth brings nobility, poverty brings kindness! Good people have a lifeti of peace!
[Netizen C]: Damn, did this big shot donate all their wealth to help the impoverished areas?
[Netizen D]: Well done! Supporting the rich tycoon, this is a true philanthropist, unlike so stars these days, who turn donations into a publicity stunt!
[Netizen E]: To the person above, Bao Bao supports you! Reject donation publicity stunts!
[Netizen F]: By the way, aren’t you all curious about who this mysterious tycoon actually is?
[Netizen G]: "Actually, I’m that mysterious tycoon" [Emoticon/Smile]
[Netizen H]: "Rich guy, rich guy, I don’t need sixty million, just give
six million, and if that’s really not possible, six hundred thousand will do too. I’ve been an orphan since childhood, with no one to rely on, and I even found out recently that I have leukemia..."
[Netizen I]: "The person above, keep making stuff up, keep making up. I just saw your recent family photo uploaded on your ho page, damn it! What happened to your parents being dead?"
[Netizen J]: "Pfft! Hahaha, just asking if your face hurts!"
[Netizen K]: "I just want to know who that mysterious tycoon really is? Could it just be another publicity stunt by so website?"
The online discussion about this matter was incredibly heated, to the point that the server crashed. anwhile, the person involved had already entered dreamland.
Chu Jin had a rare lie-in today and didn’t wake up until 6:30 in the morning.
By then, it was too late to go for a morning run.
After freshening up, she headed downstairs. Today she wore a light pink T-shirt, ripped denim shorts, and a pair of white sneakers. Her black hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her fair and elegant neck.
She looked extraordinarily youthful and vibrant.
"Wang Sister, go and bring Miss Chu’s breakfast over," Li Ruyu instructed imdiately upon seeing Chu Jin co downstairs.
"Right away, madam," she replied.
Soon, an additional breakfast appeared on the dining table, fresh milk paired with bacon and egg rolls.
"Aunt, cousin, good morning," Chu Jin greeted cheerfully the two people at the dining table.
Because Chu Jin was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, Li Ruyu almost instantly noticed the Blood Jade Bracelet on Chu Jin’s wrist. Her eyes narrowed sharply as she called out loudly, "Where did you get that bracelet on your hand from?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yiling’s gaze also subconsciously shifted to Chu Jin’s wrist, and her complexion changed dramatically.
Her eyes sparkled with disbelief and shock.
"This?" Chu Jin touched the Blood Jade Bracelet subconsciously, her lips curling up slightly, nonchalantly replied, "Of course, soone gave it to ."
This was clearly her daughter’s bracelet, how did it end up in the hands of this little slut!
Could it be that this little slut stole it!
She was so audacious! To steal sothing and even from her own family mbers!
Zhao Yiling also rose from her chair abruptly, her eyes narrowing, "Where did you get this bracelet from?"
The bracelet she had was clearly taken away by the head of the Mo family that day, so how could it have ended up on this useless person now?
Don’t tell
the head of the Mo family gave the bracelet to this useless person?
A bad feeling arose spontaneously.
Chu Jin looked up at Zhao Yiling and saw that she had finished the glass of milk in front of her. Her lips twisted into a smirk, "Soone gave it to . Why cousin, do you want one too?"
"Soone gave it to you?" Li Ruyu said sarcastically, "I think you stole it! It’s clearly Ling’er’s, how did it beco yours? Even though the Chu family is a prominent household, how did they produce a thief like you!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jin’s gaze subconsciously went to Zhao Yiling’s wrist.
She noticed that the red Blood Jade Bracelet which had been on Zhao Yiling’s wrist a few days ago was indeed gone.
Hey! The head of the Mo family couldn’t have stolen Zhao Yiling’s bracelet and then given it to her, could he?
But that didn’t make sense either. When she shook hands with Zhao Yiling that day, she clearly felt a chilly coldness from Zhao Yiling’s bracelet, whereas the bracelet on her own wrist emitted a warm sensation.
Clearly, these two bracelets had different properties.
And, moreover, it wasn’t logical for the head of the Mo family to rob an item from a young lady!
"A thief?" Chu Jin casually sat down, "Aunt, you shouldn’t spout nonsense. Careless words can lead to false accusations, slander, and they can be against the law. Don’t think just because we’re sowhat related that I won’t take you to court."
Li Ruyu was infuriated.
It was clearly she who had taken Ling’er’s bracelet but was now being accused by Chu Jin, "I warn you! Return the bracelet to Ling’er at once, or else I won’t let this go! It’s outrageous, stealing from your own family, and you still have the nerve to face us!"
