Previously, Huo Yingjie and Cui Ying were focused on the strange old woman and Xu Weiwei and did not pay special attention to the other audience members, so they did not notice what the short staff member was holding.
Today's competition ended quickly, and He Tiantian came in first place.
Seeing He Tiantian's smugness, Zhao Dingxianghui was furious. He Tiantian's pride brought back a flood of humiliation from her memory.
Let you be smug for a while longer, but Zhao Dingxianghui miscalculated again this time. Her son, Zhao Zekai, refused to go to school the next day and insisted on coming to watch the game.
Zhao Dingxianghui, who dotes on her child, couldn't resist her son's insistence and had to accompany him to watch the game.
So the plan had to be abandoned again and again for three days in a row.
However, the fact that the short staff member brought in toxic liquid three times finally caught the attention of the plainclothes officers.
These people are no pushovers either. They came to Hong Kong with He Tiantian to protect her safety and were very attentive to everything around them.
One of the bodyguards noticed that this short staff member carried a bottle every day, but it wasn't a water bottle, and they couldn't see what was inside.
The plainclothes officers followed, trailing the staff member to the back, and squeezed the short staff member into a corner.
"What are you holding in your hand?" the bodyguard asked, looking at the short man.
The short staff member looked somewhat frightened and timid as he cautiously said, "I don't have a water cup to hold water."
"Water bottle?" The plainclothes officer was taken aback. The bottle didn't look like a regular blanket, nor was it a mineral water bottle.
“Yes, my family is poor and we don’t have a water cup,” the short man said. “I like to drink water, so I always carry a cup with me. Because the opening is small, it doesn’t leak easily.”
“I see. We were probably overthinking it,” one of the bodyguards said. “Let’s go back. There are still many spectators outside.”
The other bodyguard frowned, still feeling uneasy. Even if it was just a water glass, he should let him take a sip.
"Take a sip," the bodyguard said. "Hurry up, we don't have that much time."
The short staff member was taken aback, forced a smile, and said, "I'm not thirsty right now. Who are you people? Help! There are gangsters here."
The two bodyguards were taken aback, not expecting that this timid staff member would dare to shout for help.
Actually, if the staff member has nothing to hide, they could simply drink some water to prove their innocence.
But this staff member spoke loudly, risking being beaten, and refused to drink water, which suggests something was amiss.
Either there's something wrong with the water in this bottle, or there's something wrong with the person in it.
One of the bodyguards immediately snatched the bottle from the short man's hand, while the other bodyguard used several grappling techniques to subdue the shouting staff member.
Other staff members gathered around, coming to see what had happened.
"Who are you people?" one of the middle-aged men in management walked over and asked.
"They're gangsters! Call the police! Call the police!" the short man who had been arrested shouted.
Another bodyguard opened the bottle, smelled it, and exclaimed in horror, "This is concentrated sulfuric acid! Are you a staff member here? Your staff member has concentrated sulfuric acid, do you think this is a problem?"
Upon hearing this, the mid-level manager's heart skipped a beat. Luckily, he'd been caught by these bodyguards from tomorrow's organization; otherwise, they would have been in trouble too. He shouted sternly, "Call the police..."
The sound was sharp and shrill, clearly indicating that the person was terrified.
There are so many people in the stadium right now. If something happens, the person in charge of security will be in trouble. There are many celebrities from Hong Kong in there. If something happens to one of them, it will cause a huge uproar.
Just then, while everyone was still in shock, the short staff member tried to escape, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the bodyguard's hold.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, and the huge amount of high-interest loans he had signed, the short man hardened his heart and bit off his tongue to commit suicide.
By the time the two bodyguards realized what was happening, it was too late.
Even after an ambulance was called, the short man was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
One of the bodyguards felt something was amiss and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Another bodyguard rushed back to report the situation, while also dealing with the police taking his statement.
Wei Yuanyuan's expression turned serious upon hearing the report from below, but the competition was already over, and there was still an awards ceremony to attend.
Wei Yuanyuan first sent people to investigate, while she stayed close to He Tiantian to prevent any unforeseen events.
As the solemn national anthem played, He Tiantian went to receive her award.
Cui Ying, Wei Yuanyuan, and the others were very careful and cautious. They stayed by He Tiantian's side until she finished receiving the award and left.
"What's wrong?" He Tiantian asked. "Is something the matter?"
Wei Yuanyuan recounted the events, giving He Tiantian a clear understanding of the situation.
"Oh my god, someone threw sulfuric acid on me! Are you sure it was me?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise. If it really was sulfuric acid thrown on her, that would be even more vicious than murder.
“That person has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Our people have gone with him, and others are investigating his background,” Wei Yuanyuan said. “But the competition is over, so we can finally relax for now. Back at the hotel, don’t wander around unnecessarily.”
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Please investigate as soon as possible."
“Yes,” Wei Yuanyuan said. “We finally have a lead this time, we must investigate.”
Upon arriving at their hotel, He Tiantian and Cui Ying remained in their room, while Wei Yuanyuan went to handle some matters.
"Besides the sulfuric acid incident, is there anything else?" He Tiantian asked, sensing that things weren't as they seemed.
Cui Ying closed the door, then lowered her voice and whispered, "Sweetie, when you were competing, Xu Weiwei, the illegitimate daughter of the Zhou family, also came to watch the competition. There was a strange old woman with Xu Weiwei. I investigated her carefully and found that she had some foreign secret arts. My preliminary guess is that it is Thai witchcraft."
"Oh my god!" He Tiantian exclaimed in shock, "Gu magic? You mean those disgusting little bugs?"
“Yes,” Cui Ying said. “What I’m more curious about is how Xu Weiwei ended up with someone who knows Gu magic, and they seem quite intimate. What’s even stranger is that on the first day of your competition, Xu Weiwei and that sorcerer came to watch the competition together, but they rushed back before the competition even started. The people we sent to investigate didn’t find anything unusual. We’re still observing, waiting for you and Huo Yingjie to come so we can discuss a plan together.”
He Tiantian felt a little embarrassed when she heard Cui Ying mention Huo Yingjie.
In fact, Huo Yingjie would come over every night, but he never said anything, probably because he didn't want to bother her.
"Okay, then." He Tiantian replied.
