After the two finished breakfast, Ni Sitian packed some food to take to Xiang Zhilan.
She then went back to her room with Xu Tingchuan. They would be returning to the dock in two hours, so she began packing her things.
Xu Tingchuan received a call from Pei Yang, told Ni Sitian, and then went out.
He walked briskly to the elevator, went down to the first floor, and headed towards the monitoring room.
Pei Yang opened the door for him and said, "You said you suspected that Lao Si had been drugged, so I came here immediately to investigate, and I actually found something."
Xu Tingchuan walked over and sat in front of the monitor. Pei Yang asked someone to replay the video and then said, "Take a look. This looks like your secretary. She seems to have added something to the drink. When the waitress was about to serve you the drink, Lao Si just grabbed it and drank it. In a way, Lao Si saved the day for you."
Xu Tingchuan stared intently at the screen. The woman in the picture was undoubtedly Lin Yi'an. He finally understood that Lin Yi'an's seduction last night was all premeditated, but the drinking went wrong halfway through.
"What are you going to do? Should we ask that woman to come and ask her?" Pei Yang said, putting his hand on Xu Tingchuan's shoulder.
"Call her over." Xu Tingchuan said with a grim face, wanting to get more details about the matter.
Five minutes later, Lin Yi'an was led into the monitoring room. Xu Tingchuan turned his chair around, looked at the woman with swollen cheeks and a ferocious expression, and, not wanting to waste words with her, asked directly, "Did you drug that glass of champagne?"
Seeing that the surveillance footage was still playing, Lin Yi'an knew she couldn't deny it, so she simply straightened her back in front of Xu Tingchuan and looked directly at him, "Yes."
Xu Tingchuan was not surprised to hear her admit it; what he really wanted to ask was the next question: "Who gave you the medicine?"
Lin Yi'an lowered her eyes and fell silent. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with her telling that woman, since they were not related. But then she thought about it again. That woman hated Ni Sitian and might find another way to take revenge on Ni Sitian someday.
Since she could no longer stay by Xu Tingchuan's side anyway, she might as well let that woman take revenge for her. If she didn't expose that woman, then for Ni Sitian, the enemy would be in the dark while she was in the light, making it impossible to guard against.
Lin Yi'an made up her mind, looked up at Xu Tingchuan and said, "I bought it myself at the nightclub."
Some nightclubs do indeed have such illegal businesses, but Xu Tingchuan didn't really believe Lin Yi'an's words. After the New Year, the company had been very busy, and Lin Yi'an had a project to work on, so she didn't even have enough time to rest. Where would she find the time to go to nightclubs?
"Which nightclub?" Xu Tingchuan stared intently at Lin Yi'an's face.
Lin Yi'an's eyelashes trembled, her eyes lowered, and she looked slightly doubtful. "I forgot."
Xu Tingchuan saw through Lin Yi'an's lie and said coldly, "Just saying you forgot is not enough. Do you know that the drug almost caused someone's death last night? I think you should get into the police car as soon as we get to the dock."
Lin Yi'an looked up in surprise, "How could this be? It's impossible, that was just a bullet."
"Are you sure the person who gave you this medicine can be trusted? Shen Muzhi is lying in bed right now. If it weren't for this big incident, do you think I would suddenly change the time and return early?" Xu Tingchuan's words were not unfounded, and he threatened Lin Yi'an with a firm and resounding tone.
Lin Yi'an's gaze shifted slightly. As Xu Tingchuan's secretary, she knew best what the original return time was. Now it had indeed been moved up so much, which was a breach of trust for the employees. It was likely that a serious situation had occurred.
