Was there a character named Suzuran in the original storyline? I don't think so.
Even if it existed, Chu Yuqi didn't remember it.
She only focuses on the main plot, which revolves around Cheng Jingru. Who remembers a minor character?
Su Changqing: "Teacher Ruan sent us."
He felt that Chu Yuqi was pretending to be stupid, which meant he didn't trust his abilities.
Bai Lingzhi suddenly said, "Since Teacher Ruan has said so, Chu Chu, you don't need to hide it anymore. You clearly have the ability to predict the future. It was because your predictions were all verified that my father took the initiative to contact you."
Chu Yuqi: "..."
For a moment, she even wondered if Bai Lingzhi had deliberately sent someone to test her abilities.
"I...I'll give it a try first." Chu Yuqi thought for a moment, not wanting to say anything definitively.
What kind of prophetic ability is that? Most of it is just knowing the plot in advance! How is she supposed to explain this to others?
If she tells Bai Lingzhi, she will definitely ask what the plot is. Does she have to admit that she is just a transmigrator?
In the world of metaphysics, talking about transmigrating into a book is practically suicide. She simply couldn't explain why she had transmigrated into this body, or why her body and soul were so perfectly integrated.
In the eyes of the Xuan Master, this was undoubtedly a case of possession, and the Xuan Sect has always deeply abhorred those who possess bodies and would never tolerate it.
Linglan was brought over and locked in the same room as Chu Yuqi, while Su Changqing and Bai Lingzhi guarded the door.
That night, Su Changqing was on high alert, fearing an enemy attack.
But nothing unusual happened until the sky began to lighten.
Su Changqing couldn't help but wonder, could Ming Zhuo also make a mistake?
In summer, it gets light early. As early as four in the morning, you can already hear guests getting up and washing up.
Su Changqing had been keeping watch all night and was quite exhausted, but she still dared not be careless. She checked around and went to the room to check on Chu Yuqi and Linglan.
Chu Yuqi was completely numb. While Linglan, that idiot, was asleep, she hadn't slept a wink all night.
If she still doesn't understand what's going on by this point, she's just a fool.
These people are clearly using themselves as bait to catch fish!
A group of people washed up and prepared to have breakfast, while Chu Yuqi also planned to have a good sleep after breakfast.
I ordered breakfast from the hotel's delivery service, and I was completely bewildered when the staff in uniform pushed the food cart in.
Although this is a suite that can accommodate multiple people, isn't there a bit too many people in here?
"Alright, you can go now. We'll clean up after we finish eating." Su Changqing checked the food and staff, and only let them leave after finding nothing amiss.
Everyone else went to the hotel restaurant to eat, while Su Changqing, Bu Qianqian, and Bai Lingzhi stayed behind to dine with Chu Yuqi.
Lily of the valley smelled the aroma of the food and quickly ran to the table to sit down, showing great enthusiasm.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Bu Qianqian opened the door, her eyes immediately lighting up: "Teacher Ruan, you're here! That's great! We were just about to have breakfast, would you like to come along?"
Bai Lingzhi stood up from her chair in a moment of disarray, her eyes fixed on Ming Zhuo as he walked in.
Mingzhuo looked at the breakfast that had already been plated on the table; it was quite a variety.
“We checked the breakfast; the outer packaging was sealed before delivery, so there's no problem,” Su Changqing explained.
He had just pulled out a chair for Mingzhuo when Bai Lingzhi beat him to it, saying, "Teacher Ruan, please sit here."
Su Changqing: "..."
I have a feeling that Master Bai is more attentive than I am. Why is that?
As everyone knows, the Bai family and Mingzhuo are at odds. Wu Jiao has always wanted to promote Mingzhuo, but Bai Lao has repeatedly suppressed his efforts.
That's why Mingzhuo said yesterday that it was inconvenient for her to appear in public.
Bu Qianqian asked, "Teacher Ruan, were you keeping watch around the hotel all night? No wonder everything was peaceful last night!"
Mingzhuo rested his chin on one hand: "No, I had something to do here this morning, so I just came to check on things."
Chu Yuqi knew she wouldn't be that enthusiastic; she had already learned that during the Chengxian Lake mission.
The thought of being pushed out as a target by Mingzhuo again filled her with rage. She picked up a carton of yogurt, tore open the packaging, and angrily scooped out a spoonful.
Before it could even be put in its mouth, it was knocked over.
Chu Yuqi was furious. She looked at the spilled yogurt on the table and glared angrily at Ming Zhuo. "You better give me an explanation!"
Do you really think you have no temper?
Even if Mingzhuo really is that great-aunt's granddaughter, and is of the same generation as me, she is still from a collateral branch!
Can someone's status be as noble as mine, the next head of the family?
Bu Qianqian, of course, blindly sided with Mingzhuo, saying, "Maybe there's something wrong with this box of yogurt."
"Tell me, what could be wrong? It was sealed, I just tore it open myself!" Chu Yuqi immediately glared angrily at Bu Qianqian.
Bu Qianqian shrank back and didn't dare to speak.
She looked at the yogurt on the table and felt it was a bit of a waste.
This brand of yogurt is very expensive; a small box costs thirty or forty yuan, the kind that would make her exclaim that it's robbery.
Not wanting to waste it, the lily of the valley next to her reached out to dip her hand into the yogurt.
Mingzhuo grabbed her hand and said, "Since I've taken action, there's no way I can be without problems."
She saw a boiled egg on the table, picked it up, peeled it, and then asked Bu Qianqian to take out a silver needle for testing food and insert it into the egg white, then placed the egg white in the yogurt.
Moments later, the egg white turned black.
Everyone present changed their expressions.
Bai Lingzhi examined the egg white. As expected of a sect leader, she was knowledgeable and experienced. "This is Fanggan, which is prevalent in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. Legend has it that on the Dragon Boat Festival, centipedes, poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, cicadas, earthworms, etc. are ground into powder and offered in front of the statues of the Five Plague Gods. This will create a poison that can kill people."
Chu Yuqi exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? How was this thing distributed?"
She suddenly felt a wave of fear; if she had taken that bite, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Mingzhuo: "There are naturally ways to put it in. I know a kind of evil magic that can change the shape of an object and put it inside, while the exterior remains intact."
Even if most people suspect that food has been tampered with, they would never imagine that sealed food could be problematic.
Chu Yuqi didn't eat breakfast first, but instead chose to drink yogurt, which was based on this idea.
What I never expected was that the breakfast was fine, but this cup of yogurt turned out to be a deadly poison.
Moreover, the other party was very clever in choosing this time. The tension of the night had consumed too much of their caution and energy, so they were bound to let their guard down during breakfast.
Mingzhuo said, "Yuan Qingwan died in the morning, not at night. She didn't leave her food untouched; she must have drunk something."
Su Changqing realized what was happening: "Mineral water! She drank mineral water!"
Prisoners certainly have human rights too, and they will not be deliberately humiliated. Things like drinking water will be provided normally.
Who would have thought that the bottled water would malfunction? Even the logistics staff who personally refilled the rooms probably didn't expect it.
Further investigation revealed that the bottled water was stored in a warehouse, and everyone could take a bottle when going out on fieldwork, making it impossible to trace who had handled it.
The trail went completely cold here.
