Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Taking Advantage of the Crisis

After Wang Mei was taken away, almost everyone gathered around dispersed.

As Chen Yong and Jiang Changlong were about to leave, Yan Zhen Guo stepped forward, "Report to the leader, there’s something suspicious about this matter."

"Suspicious?" Jiang Changlong was feeling a bit overwhelmed, he pointed at Chen Yong and said with a hint of annoyance, "Could it be that the female comrade tempted him on purpose?"

Yan Zhen Guo reached for the water cup beside him and handed it to Jiang Changlong, "Leader, I suspect there’s something wrong with this cup of water; Wang Mei started acting strangely right after drinking it."

"This cup of water?" Jiang Changlong looked incredulously at the water, "It’s more like poison, is there any drug that can make someone act that strangely?"

Listening to Yan Zhen Guo’s words, Chen Yong remembered that Wang Mei indeed started acting strangely after drinking that cup of water!

He quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, leader, everything was fine, but Wang Mei became strange after drinking this water. My sister-in-law saw it just now, didn’t you, sister-in-law?"

Chen Yong, feeling anxious, pointed towards Gu Fuqiao.

Regarding Wang Mei’s incident, Gu Fuqiao initially intended to watch her dig her own grave.

However, since Chen Yong brought it up to her, Gu Fuqiao had no choice but to speak.

"Indeed, it’s like that," Gu Fuqiao nodded in agreement.

"Darn, it’s truly strange." Jiang Changlong scratched his head, "I’ve heard of DDT being deadly, but never heard of any drug like this. Sister-in-law, they say you’ve read a lot, do you know of such a thing?"

"Some obscure books do mention such things, but I’m not sure if they’re true," said Gu Fuqiao.

Actually, such things do exist, just not yet during this era in China.

But in a few years, such things will become quite common in domestic dance halls.

"Well, if there’s really something wrong with this cup of water, we must thoroughly investigate it!" Jiang Changlong took the cup of water, glanced at Chen Yong again, and said, "But you still need to go back and write a review, detailing the incident from start to finish."

"Alright!" Chen Yong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing he wouldn’t need to leave with the leader.

"But you better behave yourself, if there’s nothing wrong with the water, then I’ll discuss your conduct issues with you." Jiang Changlong said this and walked away with the cup.

After Jiang Changlong left, Chen Yong felt slightly relieved.

However, Yan Zhen Guo coldly pulled Gu Fuqiao, saying, "Let’s go home first."

Then he directly pulled Gu Fuqiao towards the door.

Yan Zhen Guo’s grip was strong, making Gu Fuqiao’s hand hurt.

"Hey! Ease up!" Gu Fuqiao got pulled out the door, fuming and trying to break free from Yan Zhen Guo’s grip, but his large hand didn’t budge.

They remained at an impasse like this until Yan Zhen Guo dragged her back home.

And her wrist had already turned red!

Once Yan Zhen Guo let go, Gu Fuqiao quickly withdrew her hand, seeing the red marks on her wrist, she couldn’t help cursing Yan Zhen Guo silently.

If only Yan Zhen Guo weren’t the male lead, otherwise she would have scolded him on the spot!

"You knew there was something in the water." Yan Zhen Guo’s voice was void of any emotion.

"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I’m harming Wang Mei?" Hearing Yan Zhen Guo’s words, Gu Fuqiao felt a tinge of anger. After all, they are a brother and sister-in-law duo with feelings involved; maybe she shouldn’t have stopped Yan Zhen Guo when Wang Mei was being revealing.

She should have let him jump into this mess and write a review with Chen Yong.

"No." Just as Gu Fuqiao was about to explode, Yan Zhen Guo pulled her to a nearby chair to sit down, "I know it’s not your doing, but how do you know about the drug in the water? Just be honest with me, if there’s really a problem, I’ll help you bear it."

Yan Zhen Guo’s words left Gu Fuqiao slightly stunned.

So it turns out Yan Zhen Guo thought she was involved thus his attitude was poor.

Actually, it seems he might be concerned for her?

Gu Fuqiao’s anger dissipated instantly, she shook her head, "It’s not related to me, so don’t overthink it. I just overheard Wang Mei saying she wanted to embarrass me publicly, remember? This cup of water was initially intended for me."

Yan Zhen Guo remembered being present when Wang Mei offered the water, reminded by Gu Fuqiao, he suddenly recalled.

Seeing Yan Zhen Guo’s eyes slightly narrow, Gu Fuqiao suddenly had an idea and said, "Actually, I think many female comrades like you, Zhen Guo lao da, why don’t we just get a divorce? In case I dodge the first threat but can’t avert the second?"

Before the female lead arrived, being with the male lead for so long felt like a ticking time bomb to Gu Fuqiao.

Getting divorced while Yan Zhen Guo’s good feeling towards her is high means they could remain friends in the future.

However, hearing Gu Fuqiao’s suggestion, Yan Zhen Guo firmly refused, "No way!"

Having said that, he freed a hand to wrap around Gu Fuqiao’s waist, with a slight force, directly picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

The feeling of being suspended was quite uncomfortable, Gu Fuqiao didn’t expect a suggestion would lead Yan Zhen Guo to pack her into the bedroom.

Once Yan Zhen Guo placed her on the bed, Gu Fuqiao rolled once and sat up quickly, staring directly at Yan Zhen Guo.

Yan Zhen Guo looked down at Gu Fuqiao, "Today’s incident was my oversight."

Yan Zhen Guo’s tone was ordinary, without a hint of apology, but Gu Fuqiao wasn’t looking for an apology, she intended to capitalize on the opportunity to propose divorce.

"But I think this kind of life is too tiring," Gu Fuqiao took a deep breath, "I..."

"Wang Mei will no longer bother us, and I’m unfamiliar with other female comrades," Yan Zhen Guo interrupted Gu Fuqiao before she could finish.

Gu Fuqiao didn’t expect Yan Zhen Guo to be so persistent; looking at his serious face, she let out a sigh of defeat.

"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, urgent knocking at the door began outside, accompanied by a woman’s anxious voice.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Yan, are you home? Please open the door!" Sister-in-law Wang’s voice came from outside.

"Zhang Hong, lower your voice, I’ll knock," Wang Zongbing’s voice also sounded.

Hearing this couple’s voices, Gu Fuqiao thought, they must be here for Wang Mei’s incident.

"It must be about Wang Mei," Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo and said.

Yan Zhen Guo was a witness to the whole thing and could speak to the leadership, he should be able to offer some help.
