When the bespectacled man saw that Bai Mei had actually called the police, he was a little flustered, but he believed that his plan was foolproof and that the police would have a hard time solving the case.
As long as they stick to their story, and with the cooperation of witnesses and the 'victim,' they will surely be able to clear themselves of the charges.
But the bespectacled man didn't notice that Chang Jing's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that felt chilling and dangerous.
...
An ambulance carrying medical personnel arrived first and examined the thug who had collapsed from poisoning.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
They began investigating the scene and, after questioning relevant personnel, also felt that something was amiss.
According to the doctor's assessment, the amount of poison in the victim's body was not fatal; it was more likely intended to create a sense of panic.
The white powder remaining in the cup was not found to be particularly toxic after testing.
This surprised the bespectacled man. He never expected that the other party would not play by the rules. Instead of panicking like most people would, the other party called the police and doctors, which turned his 'brilliant plan' into a shackle.
A sense of panic immediately rose in his heart, fearing that his conspiracy would be exposed.
The police officer, observing the man with glasses' reaction, realized something was amiss.
He asked seriously, "Gentlemen, you just said you yourselves have become victims, but now it seems the 'poison' you offered wasn't lethal at all. So what's the real purpose behind this farce?"
Large beads of sweat appeared on the bespectacled man's forehead. He explained anxiously, "Officer, someone is definitely trying to harm us! We really thought it was poison..."
The bespectacled man insisted that the problem was with the milk tea and refused to admit the truth.
Seeing this, Chang Jing said calmly, "It seems there is no other way."
After speaking, he stared directly at the man with glasses, his eyes seeming to hold a mysterious power.
The bespectacled man felt that Chang Jing's eyes were like black holes, drawing his consciousness deeper into them.
For a moment, all I could hear was Chang Jing's whisper: "Now, tell me the truth about your plan to frame me."
The bespectacled man felt his mind go blank, and his mouth involuntarily began to move: "It was...it was Young Master Luo Fei who instructed us to deliberately cause trouble for Chang Jing. We framed Chang Jing with poison, hoping to ruin his shop's reputation...Young Master Luo Fei and Miss Bai Mei were originally a couple, but Bai Mei fell in love with Chang Jing, which greatly angered Young Master Luo Fei. So he wanted to use us to smear Chang Jing and get revenge on Bai Mei..."
The bespectacled man uttered those words in a daze before suddenly coming to his senses.
Seeing the surprised and uncertain looks in the eyes of the police and outsiders, he realized that he had revealed the truth hidden deep in his heart!
The bespectacled man immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes wide open, staring intently at Chang Jing, filled with both fear and anger.
What's wrong with me? Why did I actually expose my own conspiracy?
Who exactly is Chang Jing?
It's incredible that a single sentence could expose his conspiracy to the public without him even realizing it!
Chang Jing glanced at the bespectacled man and said calmly, "Now that the truth has come out, I think the police will handle your case justly. This is the consequence of your own actions, so there's no need to blame me."
The police were dumbfounded, never expecting the truth to be so bizarre.
However, since the man with glasses had already confessed, he immediately stepped forward and announced that the man with glasses would be arrested.
Bai Mei walked to Chang Jing's side, her face showing both admiration and worry.
She asked in a low voice, "What did you do to that person just now? How could you let him reveal his conspiracy on his own?"
Chang Jing smiled faintly and said, "It's just a little trick to temporarily detach his consciousness from reality, and then I'll guide him to tell the truth. It's nothing serious."
Bai Mei snorted and said, "Your little trick is too amazing, it's practically like magic!"
Chang Jing couldn't help but smile knowingly. Bai Mei's description was a clever and unintentional analogy; his abilities were indeed extraordinary.
Bai Mei glanced again at the bespectacled man's disheveled appearance as he was being led into the police car, then suddenly turned to Chang Jing, her tone full of sincerity:
"Thank you, Chang Jing. If it weren't for your quick thinking, our shop would probably have been ruined by these scumbags by now!"
Chang Jing smiled faintly and said, "You can't deal with petty people like them using ordinary methods. That will only lead them to follow you by the nose, and they will only become more and more demanding! Things will only get worse and worse!"
Bai Mei nodded in agreement and smiled, "You're right, that's how you deal with these petty people!"
Chang Jing nodded, his gaze falling on Bai Mei's bright smile, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
...
After the man with glasses was arrested on the spot by the police, the remaining thugs were terrified and turned pale.
They knew that if they failed to complete the mission this time, Luo Fei would be furious.
After the police and paramedics took the person away from the scene, the gang leader stammered, "This...this, how do I tell Young Master Luo?"
The other thugs shared the same concerns; if Luo Fei found out the mission had failed, they would definitely be in trouble!
The gang leader took a deep breath and mustered his courage, saying, "We have to report to Young Master Luo, lest he think we've disappeared. Come back with me, and I'll explain the situation to him!"
Although the other thugs were uneasy, they had no choice but to follow their leader's instructions.
The group arrived at Luo Fei's residence and found him drinking and chatting. The gang leader stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "Young Master Luo, we are truly sorry, we failed our mission this time..."
"What?!" Luo Fei flew into a rage upon hearing this, smashing the wine bottle in his hand on the ground with a loud bang: "You bunch of useless trash, you can't even handle a simple task?!"
The gang leader knelt before Luo Fei, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He stammered, "I'm so sorry, Young Master Luo. We were caught red-handed by the police while causing trouble at the milk tea shop, and the man with glasses was also arrested for framing someone with poison... We really did something incredibly stupid. Even if we lose our lives, we can't make up for today's mistake!"
Luo Fei was so angry his face turned ashen. After unleashing a torrent of abuse, he finally asked, "You said the man with glasses was arrested by the police?!"
The gang leader nodded: "Yes, Young Master Luo, after the bespectacled man poisoned the shop and framed someone, Chang Jing and the others called the police. When the police questioned him, the bespectacled guy somehow confessed to poisoning the shop, and then... he was taken away by the police..."
"What? He confessed to poisoning himself? Has he lost his mind?"
Luo Fei's eyes widened, and he blurted out a curse.
The bespectacled man was one of his important pawns; if he were to actually get caught up in the scheme, he would definitely be affected!
Luo Fei took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly, and Luo Fei said angrily, "Hello, it's me... One of my men is in jail. Get him out of there, I'll pay for it!"
