Chapter 173 Pretending to fall into a trap, Jiang Mingxin lures the snake out of its hole



"Mingxin: Hello, I'm Bai Dingxian. I have something to tell you about your mother's death. Please come to the Qingyun Hotel on January 12th. I'll be waiting for you in the cafe on the first floor."

Then she stamped it with Bai Dingxian's personal seal.

In order to make the effect more realistic, cellophane was also pasted on another piece of dark letter paper to ensure that Jiang Mingxin could not see it.

The next day, Bai Ruoxi found a male classmate who had always coveted him, promised him some benefits, and asked him to secretly put the letter into Jiang Mingxin's drawer.

She knew that Jiang Mingxin would probably doubt the authenticity of the letter.

But Bai Shuang's death has been a thorn in Jiang Mingxin's side for many years.

She once thought that Bai Shuang did not die of a normal illness, but there was something else going on.

Bai Ruoxi wrote this on purpose to ensure that Jiang Mingxin would definitely go.

Gu Mingfeng received her call at home and was skeptical.

"How can you guarantee that she will come back? I have to book a room in advance. What if she doesn't go?"

Last time he went out to have a good time and spent all his salary, he was severely scolded by his parents. He has been feeling unhappy these days.

Bai Ruoxi immediately mocked him, "You can't even bear to part with this little money. You might as well just find a widow and have sex with her for free! Gu Mingfeng, how could you be so stingy?"

"You don't have to provoke me. I can book a room first and wait for Jiang Mingxin to show up, but how can you guarantee that she will follow me obediently?"

It’s not that Gu Mingfeng looks down on Bai Ruoxi, but he thinks Bai Ruoxi doesn’t have that kind of means.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoxi's next words shocked him.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to put sleeping pills in the coffee she drinks."

"You even bribed the people in the hotel?"

Bai Ruoxi was quite impatient: "Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, just do whatever I tell you to do. Stop nagging!"

Gu Mingfeng was furious, but he didn't dare to argue with her at this time.

"Okay, then when exactly will Jiang Mingxin show up? I can't go there and wait for him early in the morning, right?"

"Jiang Mingxin should show up on time at three o'clock in the afternoon." Bai Ruoxi deliberately chose this time because this time in the afternoon is when people are most likely to feel sleepy.

Would Jiang Mingxin refuse a cup of coffee when he is mentally distressed?

As long as she drank the coffee, her plan would be half successful.

Bai Ruoxi thought her plan was perfect, so after hanging up the phone, she went to the pharmacy to buy sleeping pills.

In order not to expose herself, she took a bus to the city and bought sleeping pills at a remote pharmacy. After taking them home, she crushed them with a rolling pin and put them in a small plastic bag.

On that day, Jiang Mingxin arrived as promised.

She was holding a small leather bag, wearing a beret, a red waisted down jacket, cropped jeans, and a pair of black leather boots.

From a distance, he doesn't look like a local from Henan Province, but more like a fashionable Hong Kong person.

Bai Ruoxi watched from the dark, her face swollen with jealousy.

This dress must have been bought for her by Xing Haodong!

He was really willing to spend money. This down jacket alone cost nearly one hundred yuan, and with such novel leather boots, Jiang Mingxin's outfit would definitely cost at least two hundred yuan.

In fact, Jiang Mingxin's outfit was not that expensive.

The down jacket was one she kept for herself last time, and the cost price Deng Jianguo gave her was only 18 yuan per piece.

The leather boots and jeans were sent to her by Lin You from Beijing, and the beret was given to her by Liu Sha.

Ever since she saw the letter, she knew it was Bai Ruoxi who did it.

Apart from her, there couldn't be anyone else in the world who knew that the original owner cared about Bai Shuang's death.

The original owner had questioned it a few years ago, but Bai Dingxian and Bai Ruoxi insisted that she died of illness, and there was nothing she could do.

But Jiang Mingxin didn't know why she brought him here.

Just play along and pretend to fall into the trap.

She glanced at her watch and then out the window.

A tricycle was parked opposite the hotel. Xing Haodong and Jiang Bin pretended to be cement workers, put up a sign, and sat on the tricycle.

If something happens to Jiang Mingxin, they can arrive within two minutes.

Jiang Mingxin raised his hand and touched his chin.

When Xing Haodong saw her action, he knew that she was safe for the time being.

Time passed by minute by minute. Jiang Mingxin had been waiting here for more than half an hour. If no one showed up, she would get up and leave.

At this moment, a waiter came towards her with coffee.

"Dear guest, this is a free coffee from our shop."

Bai Ruoxi thought that no one could refuse free things, but she didn't know that several years later in the 21st century, scammers would not bother to use such deceptive tactics.

Jiang Mingxin was extremely alert. "Free? Is there such a good thing? Are all the guests getting a free cup of coffee today, or is it just me?"

The waiter's smile froze instantly and he didn't know how to answer.

"If it's just for me, I won't dare drink it." Jiang Mingxin flipped open the menu and pointed to a dessert. "Just give me a cake."

The waiter had no choice but to take the coffee back.

Bai Ruoxi didn't expect this to happen. She only had so much sleeping pills, and it was impossible for her to put them in the cake.

And even if there was one, he couldn't do that because the cake is sweet and the medicine powder is bitter. Only by putting it in the coffee would Jiang Mingxin not find out.

After much deliberation, she could only say to the waiter, "Give every guest in the lobby a cup of coffee and say it's the hotel's third anniversary."

The waiter was happy to make extra money and agreed without hesitation.
