Chapter 37: A Dead Duck

The two of them seemed to be discussing something, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

I could only vaguely hear some words like medicinal herbs, and it seemed that my name was mentioned.

It seems to be talking about Jiang Yichen being poisoned.

I took a deep breath, tried my best to stay calm, and walked in carefully.

As soon as he saw me, Lin Nan's face fell instantly.

Perhaps because of Jiang Yichen, she didn't get angry with me directly.

I knew I came at the wrong time.

But I can’t care about that now. I looked at the man on the bed and said, “Jiang Yichen, I didn’t hurt you.”

Jiang Yichen's attitude was very cold and he obviously didn't believe me.

"Gu Mo, you are too hypocritical."

My heart sank a little, but I still wanted to defend myself, "I really didn't do it, you believe me."

Seeing that I was still stubborn, Lin Nan finally lost his temper and scolded me, "Gu Mo, that's enough. The police will judge whether you did it or not. Don't bother Yi Chen again."

Looking at the attitudes of these two people, I know that no matter what I say at this moment, they will not believe it.

A feeling of oppression surged in my heart and I felt suffocated.

Before I could say anything else, Lin Nan had me kicked out.

When I left the hospital, I felt very sad, but I wanted more to prove my innocence.

Thinking that it was the pharmacy clerk who pointed me out, I decided to investigate it myself and find out the truth.

Since they don't believe it, I'll get the evidence and throw it in their faces.

Then I went to the drugstore to find the clerk.

But he has resigned.

What the hell is this?

She falsely accused me of instructing her to replace the poisonous ingredients for Jiang Yichen, and then resigned?

I don't believe it could be such a coincidence.

There must be some unknown secret in this.

After asking around for a while, I found out the clerk's address and then went to wait near his home.

But what I didn’t expect was that I waited for a whole night but didn’t see him come home.

It was almost dawn when the clerk came back staggeringly from outside.

It was obvious that he had been out all night drunk.

I secretly memorized his house number and planned to investigate further.

By asking my neighbors and the cleaning lady in the corridor, I unexpectedly learned that it was common for this clerk to not come back all night.

This makes me even more suspicious.

After tracking him for a few days, I almost figured out his living habits.

He usually goes out at night and doesn't come home until dawn.

My favorite place to go is the bar.

Strolling around and spending is his normal routine.

But he was just an ordinary office worker before, how could he have so much money to do so much?

Finally one day, I found something in the bar he often went to.

I saw with my own eyes him drinking with the anchor of Feiyu Entertainment in the bar.

The anchor was half leaning in the clerk's arms, with an ambiguous look on her face.

I think the relationship between the two is not simple.

I filmed this scene with my mobile phone.

Then, I quietly moved closer to the two of them.

The bar was noisy and the music was deafening, so I couldn't hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

But you can see that they are very excited and seem to be celebrating something.

All of a sudden, a different thought came to my mind.

Feiyu Entertainment is a competitor of our company, and the anchors it trains have a high degree of overlap with those of our company.

And I also know the anchor who is drinking with the clerk now.

That is Feiyu Entertainment’s number one anchor and the top star in the dance circuit, Monroe.

She is very popular online. Even if someone spends millions of dollars in her live broadcast room, she may not respond. But now...

It was obviously impossible for that clerk to be her eldest brother.

The two met in private and their relationship was unusual, which is indeed worth careful consideration.

Monroe would not lower her status to drink with him, unless...

My mind went through thousands of possibilities.

Finally, the case was pinpointed as a poisoning incident.

Could it be that Monroe instigated Jiang Yichen to be poisoned?

But she has no grudge against Jiang Yichen, so why would she want to harm him?

No, it’s Feiyu.

A more reasonable explanation is that Feiyu Entertainment deliberately harmed Jiang Yichen and let Monroe instigate the clerk to change the medicine.

In the end, they shifted the blame to me.

I gritted my teeth in anger.

This is too much. You are using me as a tool.

The Gu family was defeated, but after all, I was once the most arrogant daughter of Tongcheng. How could I let them take advantage of me like this?

In order to investigate Feiyu Entertainment thoroughly, I plan to go undercover myself.

I submitted my resume to Feiyu Entertainment on the platform.

Their HR was very interested in my experience and arranged an interview with me the next day.

I dressed up carefully, prepared my words, and went there alone.

During the interview, the interviewer asked me sharply why I chose Feiyu Entertainment.

The scene of Jiang Yichen humiliating me suddenly flashed through my mind. I cursed him thousands of times in my heart, with a hint of resentment in my eyes, "I hate Jiang Yichen, I don't want him to have an easy life."

After hearing my answer, the interviewer's eyes became subtle.

He continued to go deeper into the topic by taking advantage of my topic.

"Tell me more specifically."

"Since our divorce, he has humiliated me time and again. Because of him, everyone looks down on me."

Apparently the interviewer did not relax his vigilance because of my answer, and asked again, "Ms. Gu, as far as we know, you are currently working at Jiang Yichen's company."

I had expected them to say that, so I pretended to be angry and said, "I had no choice. Now his life is in danger and he has falsely accused me of poisoning him. Why should I stay here?"

After mentioning words like poisoning, the interviewer's eyes became even more ambiguous.

He smiled and replied, "Wait a moment."

After a while, the door was opened again, but the interviewer was replaced.

After seeing the person's face clearly, I recognized him as Ning Zhan, the special assistant of Hong Yu, the president of Feiyu Entertainment.

When I saw Ning Zhan, I became more certain of what I was thinking.

Jiang Yichen’s poisoning must be related to Feiyu Entertainment.

It’s a pity that I haven’t found any evidence now.

Ning Zhan looked at me with a subtle expression, and asked, "Jiang Yichen is poisoned?"

There was a hint of smugness in the voice.

"How is he now?"

"It's very bad." I raised my eyes and met his.

Suddenly, Ning Zhan changed the subject and hinted at me, "Feiyu needs an absolutely loyal partner. Miss Gu, you know what to do over there, right?"

I understood what he meant. He just wanted me to be Feiyu Entertainment's spy and keep an eye on Jiang Yichen at all times.

I naturally wouldn't agree directly, so I just said ambiguously, "I know."

Ning Zhan was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly, "Feiyu Entertainment needs talents like you to join."

After talking to Ning Zhan, I returned to the company.

Even though there is no clear evidence at present, I know that Feiyu Entertainment is not innocent in the matter of Jiang Yichen's poisoning.

Now we just need to wait for them to reveal their flaws.

I had just turned on the live broadcast, ready to make up for the time I had lost in the past few days, when I heard a commotion outside.

Not long after, Lao Mo entered my workshop with a look on his face that indicated something was going to go wrong.
