Su Nian nodded, "It's the poison of oleander, but you didn't eat much, so it's safe if you spit it out!"
Grandma Chu said doubtfully, "But the oleander has been at home for many years. I usually just water it and never even touch it."
Chu Beichen had been watching from the side. He had already made his own judgment, but he still couldn't figure out why that person did that.
However, no matter what the reason was, he would not tolerate anyone hurting Grandma Chu!
"Let me put it this way, Grandma. I have a classmate who works in the criminal police team. I'll ask him to come over and check it out," Chu Beichen said as he ran towards the phone.
After inducing vomiting, Grandma Chu's stomach pain subsided, so she had no doubts about Su Nian's words. Although she felt that Chu Beichen was making a fuss by calling the police, she did not stop him. This poisoning was very strange, and Grandma Chu also wanted to know the reason!
Xiaohong listened nearby, her face turning pale and red. She knew what it meant when the police came to her house. Her little tricks might fool Grandma Chu, but if they got to anyone with a discerning eye, she would probably be exposed immediately!
Chu Beichen picked up the phone and started dialing when Xiaohong suddenly rushed to his side and covered the dial with her hand. "Brother Chu, I think we should just forget about this. Grandma is fine anyway, so why bother alerting the police?"
"Forget it?" Chu Beichen's eyes were sharp. "If someone is deliberately trying to murder grandma, then if she fails this time, she will try again!"
Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "No, Brother Chu, this time we put mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots that Su Nian brought in the soup. I think there's something wrong with these two things, so that's why Grandma has a stomachache!"
Chu Beichen and Su Nian were immediately angry. Xiaohong, the cook, was highly suspected in this matter.
They suspected Xiaohong, but they didn't say it directly because they cared about their reputation. Unexpectedly, Xiaohong didn't know how to restrain herself and even framed Su Nian. Should they tolerate such a person?
Of course not! Chu Beichen almost immediately made up his mind to expose Xiaohong's mask.
"Oh? Do you think there's something wrong with these two things?" Chu Beichen stared at Xiaohong, who felt uneasy when he looked at her and nodded quickly.
"That's right, Brother Chu. Before you came, Grandma Chu was fine. But after you came, she immediately fell ill," Xiao Hong argued. "Tell me, isn't it because she ate your poisonous mushrooms that she fell ill?"
Chu Beichen looked at Xiaohong coldly, "The mushrooms and bamboo shoots were in the soup. We all drank the soup, but only grandma was poisoned. This means that the mushrooms and bamboo shoots are fine and safe."
"We can't tell who is right or wrong in this matter, so we can only ask the police to come," Chu Beichen said, rudely moving Xiaohong's hand away and continuing to make a call.
Xiaohong was dumbfounded. If the police came, wouldn't the truth be revealed immediately?
"Brother Chu, don't be anxious. Listen to me, this matter is not intentional to frame grandma!" Xiaohong explained incoherently.
Chu Beichen stopped and glanced at Xiaohong. "Oh, you said you didn't do it on purpose, but it seems you know the truth. So, how about you tell me the truth?"
Xiao Hong pinched the corner of her clothes in embarrassment, looked at Chu Beichen and then at Grandma Chu, and finally said pitifully in a low voice, "Brother Chu, Grandma, I'll tell you the truth, can you promise not to pursue the matter?"
