Chapter 438 Mutual Biting
Jiang Wu never expected Yuan Lianhai to do this. She had only helped Yuan Lianhai plot against Shen Zhixia because she had been paid by him, but something went wrong. Shen Zhixia was perfectly fine, and in the end, it was Jiang Wu who suffered.
She didn't know what was wrong with the water, but she could deduce that she must have drunk the contaminated water.
As for why she drank it, whether it was intentional on Shen Zhixia's part or she simply picked up the wrong cup, she had no idea.
Now, she has no idea what happened.
In short, she was completely lost.
What's done is done, and she can only accept her fate.
She needs to handle the current situation properly.
"Yuan Lianhai, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. From beginning to end, this whole thing was your doing, and I was summoned here by you." A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Wu's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lianhai looked somewhat flustered.
If the truth were revealed, it wouldn't be good for either of them. Has Jiang Wu gone mad? Why would she actually reveal the truth?
At this point, Yuan Lianhai was genuinely afraid of her. If he had known Jiang Wu was crazy, he shouldn't have asked her for help in the first place, but now it seemed too late.
He stepped forward and slapped Jiang Wu hard across the face, his tone impatient: "Shut up, you woman! Let's see if you're going to spout nonsense again. If you hadn't been clinging to me and trying to seduce me, I wouldn't have fallen for your tricks."
After he finished speaking, he tried to cover Jiang Wu's mouth, intending to let the matter rest. However, he underestimated Jiang Wu's strength. In her anger, Jiang Wu suddenly pushed him away with all her might, seemingly out of nowhere.
Jiang Wu's tone was hurried. She said seriously, "It was all Yuan Lianhai's doing. It was all his idea. He coveted Shen Zhixia's beauty and wanted to take her away and ruin her reputation. So he made me lure her out. He also told me to put drugs in Shen Zhixia's water. He said the drug would make Shen Zhixia fall into a coma. I did what he said, so I deliberately spilled the soup on Shen Zhixia."
She took a deep breath and said in a defiant tone, "But I don't know why I ended up drinking the medicine, which led to the whole thing. It was an accident. Anyway, it was all Yuan Lianhai's doing. He's the culprit. He's the one who's ruining me. It's all his fault."
Since things had come to this, she told everyone everything. If she didn't speak up now, she would never have another chance. She realized that Yuan Lianhai was not a good person at all, and that he was definitely trying to frame her.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Yuan Lianhai frowned and said, "Jiang Wu, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You were the one who seduced me, and you actually made up such a lie. Even if you say these things, no one will believe you because you have no evidence at all."
"I'm asking you, you said you drank water that was laced with drugs, so where is the water? What makes you think I gave you the drug, and what makes you think the water was laced with drugs?"
Jiang Wu was about to speak, but she suddenly remembered something. Yuan Lianhai had secretly given her the medicine, and there was only one packet, so she could only put it in a cup.
This was a transaction between two people; no one else was present throughout the entire process, and she had no idea where Yuan Lianhai obtained the medicine from.
At the time, she didn't expect things to turn out this way, so she didn't ask any more questions. Now she has no evidence to accuse Yuan Lianhai, which is so tragic.
But... medicine, that's right, medicine.
There must be some medicine residue in the cup, because she didn't finish the water when she drank it. If the remaining water is tested and proven to contain medicine, then her innocence can be cleared.
That's right.
This is the only way.
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up again: "I can prove that there was residual medicine in that water glass. As long as it is tested, it will prove that what I said is true."
After all, who would drug themselves? And they would fabricate such a lie: if drugs are detected in the water, then it must have been Yuan Lianhai who drugged them.
After all, she wouldn't have needed to drug Shen Zhixia, nor would she have drugged herself.
This logic doesn't hold water.
But when she saw the cup on the table, she froze.
Why is there no water in the cup?
Not only was there not a drop of water in the cup, but there was also no water in the teapot.
She clearly remembered that she only drank a little.
A sly smile flickered across Yuan Lianhai's lips. He had already poured out all the water in the cup. He had poured it outside when he came in, and it had long since evaporated, leaving no evidence whatsoever.
He is a very cautious person, and it would be best for him to do this personally. The reason he found Jiang Wu was because he had no other choice. After all, Shen Zhixia was too resistant to him, and he could not get close to Shen Zhixia on his own.
Even if he were to cooperate with Jiang Wu, he wouldn't let her know too much. If she knew too much, he would be in greater danger.
This is the best-case scenario; even if Jiang Wu reveals the truth, there's no way to identify him.
He won't admit it.
Jiang Wu's face was filled with despair: "Yuan Lianhai, you are so despicable, you schemed against me."
Yuan Lianhai sneered, "Get lost."
Jiang Wu was completely devastated: "Get out? You actually told me to get out? You hurt me, you have to take responsibility for me!"
She felt like she was going crazy: "You slept with me, you need an explanation."
She was unwilling, truly unwilling. Why should she be given to Yuan Lianhai for nothing? Judging from Yuan Lianhai's attitude, he really didn't care about her at all.
Yuan Lianhai said with disgust, "You're the one who seduced me, why should I take responsibility? Get out of my house now."
As he spoke, he pushed Jiang Wu off the bed.
Seeing the two of them fighting like dogs, there was no more drama to watch.
Shen Zhixia said, "It's getting late, let's go."
The factory manager said, "They're just leaving like that? Aren't you going to settle accounts with them?"
He wasn't stupid; he could tell that the group had some kind of relationship. They had wronged Shen Zhixia earlier, so they must have been trying to scheme against her.
Shen Zhixia remained calm: "There's no need."
Since they're in such a state now, barely able to save themselves, there's no need for her to continue settling scores with them.
They can destroy themselves.
Upon hearing this, everyone left.
The next day, Shen Zhixia received some news.
