Chapter 408 Splashing Wine in a Face
Last week, Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan went back to City A.
They had no choice but to go back.
Lin Yueheng called her to say that Xiaoman had been hospitalized due to an allergic reaction.
Children's immune systems are not yet fully developed, so allergies are very likely to occur.
However, Lu Junyan believes that allergies themselves should not be underestimated.
Severe allergies can even be fatal.
Therefore, Lu Junyan prepared a private jet that night and flew back to City A with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was nervous along the way, and so was Lu Junyan.
Neither of them said a word to each other, but their hands clasped tightly together without them even realizing it.
When they got off the plane, both of their palms were sweaty.
They rushed to the hospital, only to find that Xiaoman was perfectly fine and full of energy.
When Xiaoman saw Lu Junyan, she was even more excited than when she saw her favorite snacks or toys; her eyes shone like light bulbs.
Lu Junyan immediately picked up Xiaoman and kissed her on her round, fair face.
This scene, as seen through Jiang Ning's eyes, was very heartwarming.
"Fortunately, Xiaoman only developed a rash. The doctor has already given him medication, so you can rest assured..."
Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao came to Jiang Ning's side, their faces full of apologies.
"I'm sorry, Chu. We only gave Xiaoman some peanut butter. We didn't expect him to be allergic to peanuts."
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's just a rash, it's nothing serious.
"I don't know... maybe he'll get better when he grows up."
"It's hard to say! Your grandfather is allergic to peanuts, much more severely than Xiaoman. He can't even handle a little bit."
Lin Yueheng's casual remark was like a pebble, stirring up ripples in Jiang Ning's heart.
What did you just say?
Jiang Ning asked.
Lin Yueheng tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.
"What's wrong? I told you your grandpa is allergic to peanuts..."
Upon hearing Lin Yueheng's emphasis, Lu Junyan, who was playing with Xiaoman, immediately turned to look at Jiang Ning.
Their eyes met.
The two understood each other perfectly.
Lin Jingcheng suffered a sudden heart attack while recuperating in the hospital, which was probably due to eating peanuts, an allergen.
Considering Lin Wanrong's actions at the time, everything makes sense.
Lin Jingcheng already had a heart condition and was severely allergic to peanut oil.
As Lin Jingcheng's most valued adopted granddaughter, no one would suspect Lin Wanrong.
So, Lin Wanrong mixed a little peanut butter into the chocolate cake.
That cake was just disguised as Betty's, a famous baking brand in Country C; in reality, it was probably made by Lin Wanrong herself.
The reason for choosing chocolate cake is that its flavor and color are the easiest to mask the presence of peanut butter.
Lin Jingcheng suffered a heart attack because he ate peanuts mixed in with the chocolate cake without any warning.
It must be admitted that Lin Wanrong's move was indeed flawless.
When Lin Jingcheng suffered a sudden heart attack, all the doctors and nurses were busy trying to save him, so Lin Wanrong had plenty of time to get rid of the chocolate cake with peanut butter on it.
Now, more than two years have passed, and there is simply no evidence to be found.
Jiang Ning stared intently at Lin Wanrong, who stood dumbfounded in front of him, watching as Lin Wanrong switched from shock to feigned composure in an instant.
"You mean Grandpa? He's allergic to peanuts, what's wrong? Our whole family knows that!"
Lin Wanrong gave Jiang Ning a bright, fake smile.
Jiang Ning knew that Lin Wanrong was very confident in her ability to commit the crime.
She knew she wouldn't be reported.
Because the evidence has long since vanished.
Jiang Ning didn't expect Lin Wanrong to admit it on her own initiative.
She was just testing Lin Wanrong to confirm her and Lu Junyan's suspicions.
As it turned out, they were right.
"So you can't underestimate allergies... They may sound like nothing serious, but severe allergies can be fatal. I know someone who died from one of these allergies."
Hearing Jiang Ning's nonchalant words, Lin Wanrong said "That's a real pity," but in her heart she really wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.
She was certain that Jiang Ning had no evidence that she had murdered Lin Jingcheng.
She had already disposed of the evidence long ago, and so many years had passed, where could she possibly find that piece of chocolate cake crumb with peanut butter?
Lin Wanrong inwardly scoffed at Jiang Ning's self-righteous cleverness.
However, she knew perfectly well that Jiang Ning had discovered her modus operandi and had identified her as the murderer.
This made it difficult for her not to feel flustered and uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.
"If Mr. Jiang has nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Lin Wanrong turned to leave, but Jiang Ning stopped her.
“It’s rare to have this opportunity to meet, and I’d like to chat with Miss Lin some more! You don’t know, but my acquaintance who died from an allergy not only died a tragic death, but his will was also altered by the person he valued most and the lawyer he trusted most. Can you believe how unlucky he was?”
Jiang Ning's every word was pointed, and Lin Wanrong's face turned ashen.
"I'm very busy, I don't have time to listen to President Jiang's nonsense..."
Lin Wanrong tried to bypass Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning blocked her way again.
"I just wanted to kindly remind Miss Lin that you have to find a lawyer who is suitable for you, otherwise you're just digging a hole for yourself... For example, take Lawyer Wang who is with Miss Lin. I admire his abilities, but he and Miss Lin are not a good match. I heard that Miss Lin was even hit by him. Was it on this half of her face?"
Seeing Jiang Ning reach out his hand to her, Lin Wanrong immediately stepped aside to avoid him.
The thought of Wang Jun hitting her made her so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
"You know, if he gets angry today, he dares to slap you in the face. If he gets angry again tomorrow, who knows what he might do... like..."
Suddenly, Jiang Ning moved closer to Lin Wanrong, his eyes fixed on her like a hunter locking onto its prey.
"Make the real will public."
Jiang Ning spoke softly, but his words had a significant impact on Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong, her face ashen, turned to leave again.
As a result, their path was blocked by Jiangning once again.
This time, Lin Wanrong panicked.
Jiang Ning has no evidence. Even if he were right about every single bad thing she did, so what?
That's what she really thought, but Lin Wanrong couldn't control her anxiety and anger.
She really didn't want to hear Jiang Ning say another word.
"Get out of my way!"
With a roar, Lin Wanrong raised her hand and splashed the red wine in her glass at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thought he would be splashed with wine.
As a result, when she was suddenly embraced by a warm hug, every drop of the red wine that Lin Wanrong had splashed on her landed on her snow-white suit.
