Huo Junyu smiled gently; this was exactly what he wanted to say.
“That’s right, it was Gu Feng who found it.” He said in a low voice, “He is quite knowledgeable in this area, so checking the formula is no problem for him.”
“But…” Jiang Mianmian blinked her big eyes, “I thought that after the banquet that night, someone would secretly dispose of the drinks to destroy evidence… I didn’t expect you to be able to find samples!”
"This wasn't arranged by my brother!" Huo Junyang laughed heartily. "Little Youzi, guess who helped us this time?"
Jiang Mianmian's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be her again?
Pei Nian?
“Indeed, someone wanted to destroy the evidence.” Huo Junyu smiled faintly. “But it was a huge undertaking. Just as that person was about to throw away the remaining problematic drinks, Pei Nian caught him.”
Huo Junyang continued, "It's quite a coincidence that the place where that person wanted to destroy the evidence was right in the alley behind the bar where Pei Nian worked!"
What happened next is obvious.
Pei Nian was already quite skilled, and dealing with men was no problem for her. So Pei Nian not only captured the man, but also got hold of the problematic liquor that hadn't been dealt with yet.
It also makes the testing process more convenient and easier for Gu Feng.
Jiang Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief.
Overall, this is truly the result of cooperation from multiple parties!
“Gu Feng said that only members of the Gu family could have this formula.” Huo Junyu’s expression darkened slightly. “The Gu family’s problematic beverage last time was originally intended to save costs, which is why they had this formula. But the first thing Gu Feng did after taking over the Gu family was to recall and destroy all the problematic beverages and this formula.”
"So this was definitely done by the Gu family!"
Jiang Mianmian bit her lip and let out a cold laugh.
The answer is obvious: the person Gu Zihan has a connection with the Gu family is none other than Gu Zihan.
“Gu Zihan disliked me back in school. Later, I reported her family’s drinks. When I went to Southeast Asia, she mistakenly used the face cream that Xia Zhi had prepared for me, which disfigured me… Ha, I really can’t think of anyone else who would use such despicable means to harm me!”
"but……"
Jiang Mianmian frowned again, "The incident happened on the opening day of Lu's Film City, and the victims were all big stars... There were so many people there that day, even if Gu Zihan wanted to poison them, she probably wouldn't have been able to."
Huo Junyu patted her head and smiled gently.
His wife is smart, quick-witted, intelligent, eager to learn, and has excellent analytical skills!
"So there's someone behind this," Huo Junyu said in a low voice.
"Could they be a competitor of the Lu family?" Huo Junyang's eyes widened. "Or... has Uncle Shan offended someone in the underworld?"
Jiang Mianmian paused for a moment, and just as she was thinking, her phone vibrated a few times in her pocket.
There are several unread messages, all from the same person, He Sirui.
Jiang Mianmian glanced at Huo Junyu subconsciously.
Huo Junyu was sweating profusely, and he almost stood with his hands behind his back against the wall.
Huo Junyang and Lu Ran smiled and left one after the other, not wanting to witness Huo Junyu's henpecked moment here.
Only the two of them remained in the room, and Jiang Mianmian then carefully read through the messages.
The photos He Sirui sent were all old photos of her and Huo Junyu at the beach when they were children.
The photo shows two children building sandcastles on the beach. The little girl is laughing heartily, while the little boy looks mature beyond his years.
This sea is the Huo family's private beach, and it's also the place where Huo Junyu often took Xiaoyouzi when she was a child.
Jiang Mianmian felt like she had a thorn in her heart; it didn't hurt much, but it was incredibly painful.
Just then, He Sirui suddenly deleted all the photos and left a message for Jiang Mianmian: "Sorry, I sent the wrong ones!"
Jiang Mianmian gritted her teeth and gripped her phone tightly—I don't believe you for a second!
Sending these "childhood sweetheart" photos first, and then retracting them at the perfect time—this kind of operation really opened her eyes!
"Mianmian, I..."
Huo Junyu was thinking about how to explain when several messages appeared on his phone:
"Junyu, I was just cleaning out my drawer and found so many photos of the two of us when we were little... They're so cute!"
"Brother Junyu, I didn't understand when I was little, but I understand now that I'm older. So the beach you took me to was the same beach you used to take Xiaoyouzi to? So you couldn't find Xiaoyouzi, so you took me there to play..."
"I'm also very saddened by Mianmian's accident. I don't know how to comfort you, I just hope you can eat and sleep on time, don't worry, I will always be by your side!"
"Junyu, if you're feeling down, come out for some fresh air and a couple of drinks. I'll be waiting for you at the bar!"
Finally, I'll add: "I promise I'll keep this a secret from Mianmian... Men need to relax and unwind too! As your good buddy, how about I take you out for a good time tonight?"
Huo Junyu was quite honest; he read it from beginning to end without missing a single word.
Although I watched it with a black face the whole time, I was internally complaining.
"Brother Junyu!" Jiang Mianmian called out to him with a smile, using He Sirui's tone, "Brother Junyu, would you like a cup of green tea to cool off?"
