Chapter 288: Poisoning

At this point, Madam M's matter is completely finished, and next we should deal with Jiang Tiansheng.

But dealing with Jiang Tiansheng can't be rushed; we need to wait for an opportunity.

Chen Mo's life has outwardly returned to calm.

In the next few days, the IDs for those six female assassins were processed, and the six of them, together with the retired female soldiers, became bodyguards around Chen Mo's women.

Kaiselin and Cheng Haiyao moved into Chen Mo's house, nominally as his close bodyguards.

But the actual situation was clear to Gang Sheng and Qiu Di, and they had no objections.

Only He Min was a bit jealous. She had followed Chen Mo for so long without moving into the villa, yet the two newcomers got priority.

Chen Mo said it wasn't anyone's fault; she herself doesn't stay, needing to go home every day.

That day, in the bar office, Shen Guodong suddenly ran over to report to Chen Mo.

"Mo Ge, the subordinates reported that Fang Ting went to Jianshazui Yishidan with a few bodyguards."

"Yishidan?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up. "That Fang Ting does know how to pick places."

Jianshazui Yishidan is a mid‑high‑end Yinghuaguo department store in the core of Jianshazui, located on Mi Dun Dao, within Chen Mo's territory.

Moreover, Yishidan occupies the interior of the Sheraton Hotel. Floors one through five are Yishidan; the hotel proper starts from the sixth floor upward.

Chen Mo was planning to take nude photos of Fang Ting, and this location is just perfect.

Catch her downstairs, shoot upstairs, no need to take anything out.

"Keep a close watch on her, don't act rashly. Guodong, call the hotel to book a room; we'll go over immediately."

Saying that, Chen Mo took from a drawer the camera he had prepared earlier and a small glass bottle containing white powder, and set off with Kaiselin.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo arrived at the Sheraton Hotel.

In the hotel lobby, Chen Mo's subordinates were already waiting; upon seeing him, they hurried to greet him.

"Mo Ge!"

"Hmm, where is the person?"

"She's still shopping downstairs, with one of our brothers following."

"Is her bodyguard following?"

"No. Her bodyguard probably can't stand this woman's shopping either, and is waiting at a tea restaurant outside the hotel."

This woman's stamina while shopping is truly impressive; the previous few times our brothers took turns to follow, and a single person couldn't keep up.

Honestly don't know how a woman can have such stamina when shopping; tailing her is more exhausting than running laps on the training ground....

That brother must be seeing the power of a woman shopping for the first time; as he spoke, it turned into a rant.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a bigger bonus later," Chen Mo interrupted his rant, "Is the room ready?"

"Oh, it's ready: executive suite 1503 on the 15th floor."

Chen Mo nodded, looked at Kaiselin beside him: "Kaiselin, go with him to look for Fang Ting, see if you can lure her into the room; if not, knock her out and take her, trying not to draw attention."

"Got it." Kaiselin nodded and left with the snarky subordinate.

Chen Mo entered the room first to wait; after a dozen minutes, the doorbell rang, and Kaiselin and that subordinate carried the unconscious Fang Ting inside, followed by another subordinate holding a women's handbag.

Looking at the unconscious Fang Ting, Chen Mo frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"That woman is quite shrewd, hard to deceive; I knocked her out while she was in the restroom."

"Fine, put her on the bed first."

Anyway it's for photos; whether she's awake or out cold doesn't matter.

Chen Mo pulled out two rolls of big golden ox and tossed them to the two subordinates: "Go outside and keep an eye on her bodyguard; if anything happens, inform me promptly."

"Got it, thanks Mo Ge!"

The two subordinates took the money and were about to leave cheerfully when that subordinate, holding the bag, said to Chen Mo, "Mo Ge, this is the woman's bag."

"Alright, give it to me!"

Chen Mo took the bag, gave it a quick weigh, and it was quite heavy.

But as he lifted it, a 'clatter' sound from inside the bag caught Chen Mo's attention.

Back in the room, Chen Mo opened Fang Ting's bag to see what it actually contained.

Good grief, besides money, ID, and keychain, she also had a mirror, lipstick, perfume, handkerchief, compact, sunglasses, hand cream, and a fountain pen.

So many items, no wonder it's heavy.

Chen Mo dumped everything onto the coffee table and finally found the item making the 'clatter' sound.

A bottle of medicine and a bottle of seal kidney pills, both wax‑sealed premium imports from Yinghuaguo, pricey.

These are excellent products specifically for strengthening essence and tonifying the kidneys.

But they're medicines for men; women can't use them.

Chen Mo concluded they were definitely meant for Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng may work out daily now, but in his youth he partied wildly.

Jing Ma was his father's lover, and he slept with both of them.

Now at his age, it's time for proper supplementation.

Suddenly, Chen Mo had an idea; the plan to kill Jiang Tiansheng might be altered.

Chen Mo originally prepared a chronic poison, intending to have Fang Ting slip it into Jiang Tiansheng's food, slowly giving him a fatal illness.

But now, looking at the seal kidney pills, Chen Mo thought of a new way to kill him.

Chen Mo placed the small glass bottle he had taken out into his space.

Then, via the system, he exchanged for a new small vial containing a highly pure crystalline aconitine powder, a poison meant to send Jiang Tiansheng on his way.

The lethal dose of this substance is extremely low, it is colorless and odorless, and hard to detect in any food.

Moreover, its toxic symptoms mimic heart disease closely and are easily metabolized in the human body.

As long as the body isn't immediately subjected to autopsy and toxicology after death, the deceased will basically be judged to have died of an acute heart attack.

Chen Mo took out a pill, then, following the mold imprint on the wax shell, he knocked open the wax seal and removed the pill inside.

Then he carefully sprinkled a tiny amount of aconite powder onto the inner wall of the wax shell.

Finally he put the pill back, pressed the wax shell together to seal it, then heated it with a lighter so the seam re‑bonded, restoring it to its original appearance.

Thus, a poisonous sea‑dog kidney pill was completed.

Chen Mo placed this pill back into its original medicine bottle, gave it a slight shake, and mixed it together with the other normal pills.

Done!

In this bottle of pills, only one is poisonous; if taken, it will surely cause death.

After Jiang Tiansheng dies from poisoning, first they'll question whether it will be judged as poisoning; even if it is judged as poisoning, they may not necessarily be able to trace the source of the poison.

Because all the remaining pills are non‑toxic, there's no way to investigate further.
