"No, I'm doing this because..." She tried to explain, but his fingers pressed on her lips, preventing her from going on.
Then, her eyes suddenly widened. She saw his other hand pull out an amulet and a bottle of pills from his pocket.
That was the amulet Gu Lichen had given her. That was where she got the address to seek help to find her mentor and his wife. The bottle of pills was the sleeping pills she had prepared. She had added sleeping pills to the vegetable beef soup tonight, but he, who should be asleep right now, was in front of her.
"You went to the address Gu Lichen left you and drugged me for Mrs. Kang. Yiran, is this how you love me?" His fingers played with the two objects in his hand.
Ling Yiran's face grew paler, and her throat burned. 'He knows! Or, should I say, he has it all under control?'
"I changed the pills in your bottle into ordinary vitamins so I wouldn’t fall asleep as you planned. As for the person you contacted to help you today..." Yi Jinli's eyes glanced aside, and Ling Yiran saw that the man who was supposed to help her tonight was standing not far away. He was subdued and unable to move.
The man also looked at Ling Yiran with embarrassment, apparently unaware Yi Jinli had already figured out their plan.
He had not only offended Yi Jinli but also Young Master Gu.
"Did you already know what I was going to do?" Ling Yiran's voice cracked as she spat out the words.
"Yes," he answered her.
"Then why did you deliberately wait for us here? Why didn't you expose me from the very beginning?" she asked.
