Chapter 251: I Will Never Let You Have It Easy

The crowd dispersed slightly, taking the initiative to clear a path.

Lu Qing'er was desperate to leave this place right now; she immediately straightened up from Xia Huiya, putting on a weak and pitiful appearance, intending to leave.

But she didn't expect that in the next second, she would hear Cai Xiaotang say loudly: "How can it just be let go like this? My brother has always associated with upright and honorable friends. It would be better to investigate this matter clearly. If it really was someone with ulterior motives who did it..."

She didn't finish her sentence, stopping with a pointed implication, her gaze sweeping a circle through the crowd.

The surrounding people instantly fell silent.

For one, they were wary of Cai Xiaotang's status; for another, they were waiting for Mu Liusu to state his position.

Lu Qing'er's figure stiffened abruptly, and a flash of ferocity instantly crossed the depths of her eyes.

That bitch Cai Xiaotang!

Ruining her plans again!

Lu Qing'er cursed unhappily in her heart, and immediately after, she heard Mu Liusu speak up as well: "That's right, it's better to investigate this kind of thing clearly. Since you are guests at my Mu Family, it cannot just pass by in such an unclear manner. If it is truly found out... then please forgive my Mu Family for not wishing to associate with such people."

Mu Liusu said this unhurriedly, both clarifying his own attitude and giving Cai Xiaotang plenty of face in front of everyone.

Lu Qing'er felt her whole body burning; she gritted her teeth while listening to Mu Liusu's words, completely panicking.

She had no other way, and in her desperation, she suddenly buried her head directly into Xia Huiya's arms and began to cry softly.

"Mom... I want to go home... really... there's no need to investigate... take me home..."

She cried so pitifully, as if staying here for one more second would cause her body and mind to suffer immense torment.

Xia Huiya couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt her arm being gently pinched by someone.

She didn't react for a moment, pausing for two seconds before she realized what was going on.

Qing'er doesn't want them to investigate this matter; could it be that the medicine was her own...

Xia Huiya vaguely sensed something and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

This girl!

What is she messing around with again!

Didn't she tell her to behave herself recently!

Xia Huiya felt somewhat helpless, but she also knew that there was no way to continue pursuing this matter, so she had no choice but to smile helplessly at Mu Liusu.

"President Mu, since Qing'er doesn't want to bring this up again, then let it be... I want to take her home to rest first; she has already been greatly frightened..."

Xia Huiya's face was full of heartache as she gently patted Lu Qing'er in her arms.

Xia Huiya was Lu Qing'er's mother; since she had taken the initiative to say she would not pursue it, Mu Liusu naturally would not force anything further.

Lu Qing'er's hand, which was tightly gripping Xia Huiya's lapel, finally relaxed a little.

Cai Xiaotang's expression, however, was somewhat unhappy; she glared unpleasantly in Lu Qing'er's direction, seemingly wanting to say something.

But before she could speak, she suddenly felt her wrist being gently tugged.

She snapped back to her senses and saw Jiang Baobao blinking at her, looking completely unconcerned.

Jiang Baobao let go of Cai Xiaotang's hand and walked directly toward Lu Qing'er's direction.

Xia Huiya instantly became guarded.

But Jiang Baobao didn't even spare the two of them a second glance, walking straight to the spot where Lu Qing'er had been leaning against the wall just now, and picked up a small bag from the ground.

"Since you're going back, don't forget important things here..."

Jiang Baobao said softly, her gaze sweeping pointedly at Lu Qing'er, then lowering her eyes to glance at the small handbag in her hand.

The design of that handbag had no zipper, but rather several exquisite pearl-shaped buttons that were twisted and wrapped together; a light touch was all it took to open it.

That little bottle used to drug her should still be in this bag, right?

Such an important thing, that stupid woman Lu Qing'er definitely wouldn't dare to throw it around...

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao carried the bag and walked toward the two of them.

Lu Qing'er was breathing heavily, her eyes fixed intently on what was in Jiang Baobao's hand, a trace of imperceptible panic flashing in the depths of her eyes.

As long as she gets the bag... once she gets the bag, she can leave this place!

Lu Qing'er thought, and subconsciously reached out her hand toward Jiang Baobao.

A smile appeared on Jiang Baobao's face, but that smile only stayed at the corners of her lips, while her eyes were filled with extreme indifference.

The next second—

She let go lightly.

"Clatter," the exquisite little handbag fell to the ground just like that.

Immediately following, everything inside it spilled all over the floor with a clatter!

Lu Qing'er's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, then immediately feigned surprise and said: "Sorry, the bag was wet, it was a bit slippery..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly squatted down and picked up the things scattered on the ground.

Her eyes also scanned quickly, and she spotted at a glance a small, transparent glass bottle the thickness of a finger that had rolled not far away.

"Ding—!" With a sound, the little bottle hit the wall, emitting a small, crisp noise.

Mu Liusu happened to be standing right there; his eyes swept quickly over the little bottle, and he then picked it up smoothly.

Cai Xiaotang immediately leaned over and asked loudly on purpose: "Brother, what is this? It doesn't look like cosmetics either..."

Her voice instantly attracted the attention of the few people standing in the front row; several men glanced at it, and their expressions changed in unison.

There wasn't a single Chinese character on that little bottle, but there are some things that don't need text to be identified.

For example, a certain type of "drug" often used by men who like to play in this circle.

Jiang Baobao stared at the little bottle in Mu Liusu's hand, and her expression instantly turned even colder.

So it was this medicine!

During the competition earlier, Mumu, a member of her own Team, had nearly drunk water that had been tampered with.

If that kid didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder and notice that the water bottle was placed in the wrong position and had been moved, the consequences would have been simply unimaginable!

Later, it was sent for testing, and the ingredients of this type of drug were what were detected!

Although it is often used for some low-class or flirtatious purposes, if the dosage is not controlled well, it can have hallucinogenic effects!

It might even endanger one's life!

Where on earth did Lu Qing'er get this thing, and she even wanted to use it on her?!

Jiang Baobao felt a lump in her chest, and she immediately sneered as she stepped forward and took the small bottle from Mu Liusu's hand.

Lu Qing'er's brain was already in a mess, and she did not know what to say.

She could only pray incessantly in her heart, hoping that everyone would not recognize what this bottle was for.

But the next second, Jiang Baobao's voice echoed in the space.

"Lu Qing'er, why do you have this kind of low-class drug? Could it be that you drank the drug yourself just now?"

Jiang Baobao questioned her sternly.

As soon as the words fell, she saw Xia Huiya's expression change instantly.

"Jiang Baobao! You cannot spout nonsense! How could Qing'er possibly take this kind of drug herself?"

Xia Huiya immediately retorted, her gaze toward Jiang Baobao as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Jiang Baobao sneered in her heart.

Of course she didn't take it herself, but rather lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet!

Doesn't Xia Huiya love to compare Lu Qing'er with her the most?

Then today, she would tell her that Lu Qing'er could never compare to her!
