Zhong Ling was the first to react as she was close by and went forward to check. When she carefully lifted the white cloth and saw the ghost-faced doll lying inside, she also screamed in fear.
It caused quite a commotion in the office. The doll looked scary, with needles stuck all over its vital parts, making it look more like a curse and a threat.
On the black paper were several large blood-red characters: Die! Bitch!
Lu Anning lowered his eyes and, after being reminded by the people around him, decided to call the police.
Worried that the needles had been tampered with, Lu Anning went to the hospital for a check-up, got a tetanus shot, and was relieved to confirm that there were no other problems, even though the bleeding had stopped.
The police took the items away and have not yet determined the nature of the incident.
The other party was very careful and didn't leave anything distinctive. The courier box was a common cardboard box, and the contents were also very ordinary. Even the words on the note left behind were cut out from a magazine. With limited evidence, the police could only remind Lu Anning to be more careful recently and to contact them at any time if there was any news.
Tang Jingyuan hung up the phone with a sullen face. Looking at Lu Anning's healed finger, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
The matter had become a big deal. If it was just a news issue, Tang Jingyuan could still control it. But when it came to Gu Huai's fans, Lu Anning was already in a passive position, and the situation became uncontrollable.
Tang Jingyuan's face was solemn, and he was about to speak when Lu Anning interrupted him.
"I know what you're going to say. It's safer to stay at home. But I can't just stay in Ronghua Garden and not see anyone!"
If this person is not caught, will she have to hide in the house forever?
"Do you want to get hurt again? This time it was a ghost-faced doll, but who knows what it will be next time."
Her personal safety has been threatened, and Tang Jingyuan cannot just sit back and do nothing.
Lu Anning admitted that she was careless this time. She hadn't expected someone to send her something disgusting right after the news broke. She had to find this pervert.
After Lu Anning's repeated assurances, Tang Jingyuan reluctantly gave in, on the condition that she would not let herself get hurt again.
Lu Anning returned to the company and continued working as if nothing had happened.
After Tang Jingyuan's warning, the reporters didn't dare to follow him anymore, but the incident still left a shadow in everyone's mind. It seems that having a good relationship with the movie star is not a good thing.
During the break, Ruan Qingqing smiled as she held her iced American sour coffee.
"It's okay. Do you believe it? It's so obvious that she's two-timing. Not only is she hanging around with Mr. Tang, but she's also hooking up with the movie star. I've never seen her so restless. Sending her a doll to warn her is the least of my worries. If it were me, I would definitely send her a razor blade to make her bleed more."
The colleagues did not dare to agree with Ruan Qingqing's vicious words, and they all dispersed with a wry smile.
She shouted unwillingly from behind: "Just wait and see! Sooner or later, Lu An Ning will capsize in the ditch."
In the darkness, a figure flashed by, and no one saw it.
Lu Anning was in the office finishing up her work for the day when a cup of warm red date ginger tea fell from the sky. She looked up and was shocked to see a large figure blocking her view.
Sun Tiantian subconsciously pulled her baseball cap and forced an awkward smile.
"Lu...Team Leader Lu, this is for you."
Lu Anning was stunned for a moment: "Thank you! I'll transfer the money to you!"
"No, I saw you just sneezed. You're injured. Red dates, to replenish your blood."
"Okay! I'll take it then."
Sun Tiantian hesitated for a long time before asking, "Have you found any clues about what happened this morning? Did the police say anything?"
Lu Anning shook his head subconsciously: "There are too few clues, so we can only open a case temporarily. They told me to be careful and contact them immediately if I find anything. I don't think there will be any results."
"Oh! I see! I'm glad they're okay, otherwise it would be too scary. Don't you agree? Team Leader Lu, you should avoid interacting with those celebrities in the future to avoid getting into trouble."
Lu Anning responded, and Sun Tiantian smiled innocently before returning to her seat contentedly to continue working. The warm liquid took his first sip, its sweetness mixed with a hint of spiciness. Lu Anning subconsciously frowned and glanced down at the ginger tea.
Sun Tiantian's words echoed in her mind, and she looked up at Sun Tiantian's position.
The workstations were dressed in black and white, with no fancy attire. Lu Anning watched Sun Tiantian's earnest back and privately asked Zhong Ling about her situation. Seeing Zhong Ling's endless praise for her, she felt relieved.
But she felt that something was not right.
In the afternoon, Gu Huai called again because he was too bored in the hospital.
"I am your savior. This injury was caused by you. Shouldn't you come and see me?"
"Gu Huai, what do you want?"
In the quiet office, Lu Anning's voice seemed a little abrupt, and many people looked at her.
In the corner, Sun Tiantian bit her transparent straw cup and stared at Lu Anning's back quietly, as if she was thinking about something.
Lu Anning heard Gu Huai's threat: "If you don't come to see me, I will post on Weibo, saying that you are playing with my feelings. Do you think you will be exposed by my fans and then cyberbullied?"
Lu Anning was silent, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Without waiting for Gu Huai to give other reasons, Lu An Ning had already agreed.
"Then you have to wait until I finish my work today before I can come to see you! You have to be obedient, so that you can get better soon." She changed her attitude, hung up the phone with a smile, and continued to busy herself regardless of other people's surprised looks.
