Poison in the Wine!

Miscarriage?

Tang Xiao stared in shock.

“You’re not mistaken?

You believe such nonsense rumors?”

“Just a few days ago when we went to the ER, the doctor still said I was a virgin, how could you forget?”

Wu Jie shook his head, “I haven’t forgotten!

But the problem is, the whole group is buzzing with the news, don’t you know?”

“Xie Wanjun!”

Tang Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes suddenly turning cold.

“What do you mean?

You’re so fierce, and she made you cry?” Wu Jie asked with a laugh.

Tang Xiao gritted her teeth, “Only she saw me crying this morning.

If this miscarriage rumor wasn’t started by her, it definitely originated from her!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “You were perfectly fine, then out of nowhere you cried so miserably, can you blame people for suspecting?

But then again, why were you crying?”

Tang Xiao paused.

What should she say?

That she cried because she was moved by him?

No way!

Wouldn’t that be admitting she could also be fragile at times?

As fierce as she is, she’d never admit that.

“Can’t I have something to be upset about?” Tang Xiao retorted.

“True!

But I’m really curious what the crying face of a strong woman like you would look like.

Why don’t you show me?”

“Get lost!!”

Tang Xiao glared at Wu Jie fiercely and reached for her phone to call Xie Wanjun.

“You don’t need to come to work tomorrow.

I don’t need a secretary who spreads gossip like this!

Don’t even bother crying and begging for mercy.

The fact that I’m not pursuing your defamation of my reputation is already saving you face!”

“President Tang, I…”

Xie Wanjun didn’t finish her sentence before Tang Xiao hung up.

“Come on!

Isn’t that a bit too harsh?” Wu Jie was somewhat stunned.

Tang Xiao scoffed with a laugh.

“I know for someone from an ordinary family with not much education, securing a good job at a world top 500 company in a competitive big city is not easy at all!”

“Especially for a young and pretty girl like her, living a petty-bourgeois life with high expenses, losing this job would mean going from a glamorous white-collar worker in the city to being poor and in debt overnight!”

“She didn’t cherish the hard-earned high-paying job she had.

Before, she peddled my personal whereabouts and emotional status.

Now she’s spreading false rumors to ruin my reputation.

Why should I tolerate her?”

“But isn’t the adult world just this cruel?

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price for your actions.

Otherwise, if I forgive her too easily, who knows if even uglier rumors will appear in the future?”

As Tang Xiao was speaking, she picked up her phone that rang once, showing the screen to Wu Jie.

“No need to guess.

It must be her text message!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, reading, “She says she knows she was wrong, she can’t lose this job, promises to fully reform…”

Tang Xiao snorted lightly and put away the phone before Wu Jie could finish.

“Pitiful people surely have their hateful sides.”

Turning back to the dining table, Tang Xiao left Wu Jie with an easy-going silhouette.

Of course, it was mostly fierce and domineering!

Xie Wanjun, oh Xie Wanjun!

Do you really think that after being a secretary for so many years, you can joke about Tang Xiao’s private affairs?

If the tiger mom doesn’t show her power, do you think she’s critically ill?

Before taking two steps, Wu Jie’s phone rang.

It was Xie Wanjun calling!

Tang Xiao ignored her, so she’s looking to me to plead her case?

He directly hung up and switched it to silent mode.

Back at the dining table, the steak and wine were already served.

Fang Qingya poured two glasses of wine, giving one to Tang Xiao and only a glass of juice for Wu Jie.

“We both took a cab here.

You’re responsible for driving us back home, so you can’t drink!”

“Come on!

1982 Lafite, how can I not drink it?

We can always call a designated driver!”

Wu Jie directly grabbed the bottle of wine and took a big swig.

“Oh my!

Who does that?

Tang Xiao, can you get your husband to act a little more refined?” Fang Qingya laughed softly.

The red wine was very dry to the taste.

Ding ding ding…

Before Wu Jie could even swallow, the system suddenly sounded an alarm.

“Warning!

The wine contains a deadly poison…”

Phew!

Wu Jie sprayed it out immediately.

The two beauties were instantly splattered with red wine on their faces.

Both were about to explode with rage when Wu Jie exclaimed in shock, “Damn it, the wine is poisoned!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A waiter, not far away, suddenly dropped his tray, pushed through the obstructing diners, and made a break for it.

After bolting out of the restaurant, he sprinted away as if in a hundred-meter dash.

The whole incident happened too swiftly.

From Wu Jie spitting out the wine to the waiter fleeing, it all took less than three seconds.

Inside the restaurant.

The guests who had been knocked over were still cursing loudly, and many of the diners enjoying their meals were shocked.

Both Tang Xiao and Fang Qingya, like statues, were stunned.

“No…

no way!

The…

the wine, it’s really poisoned?”

Fang Qingya’s face was a picture of shock, and she stuttered as she spoke.

Tang Xiao immediately stood up, took the two glasses of red wine, and poured them into the ornamental pond.

Soon, all the koi swimming about were dead.

Fang Qingya, who had also stood up, hadn’t taken many steps when she saw the dead koi, turned pale with fright, and went weak, nearly stumbling and falling.

Wu Jie immediately grabbed the bottle of mineral water he brought and gargled and spat it out vigorously.

Although he had already spat out the red wine he drank, and the system had removed the toxic substances, he had to carry through with his act.

Tang Xiao, with a stern face, helped Fang Qingya up angrily and walked back.

“This wine wasn’t brought by me.

After ordering it, I asked that waiter to decant and add ice.

I never intended to harm you.

It is he who wanted to kill us…”

Fang Qingya was unable to stop herself from talking excitedly.

At that moment.

The restaurant suddenly became even more chaotic.

A few waiters who emerged from the kitchen and the counter didn’t try to calm the guests but instead raced to escape one after another.

“Everyone stop eating, this damn place is a black shop, they actually gave us a bottle of poisoned red wine, nearly killed the three of us!”

“Didn’t you see the staff?

Seeing they couldn’t get their hands dirty, have they not all run away?”

“If you don’t believe it, just look at the koi in that pond, they’re all dead after the red wine was poured in!”

Fang Qingya cried out loudly, causing even more uproar among the people.

Some fled in panic, some desperately induced vomiting by sticking their fingers down their throats, and some called the police and ambulances…

“Are you okay?

Should we go to the hospital right away?”

After scanning her surroundings with a vigilant look, Tang Xiao asked Wu Jie with concern.

Wu Jie waved his hand: “I didn’t drink it, I spat it all out!”

“We still need to go to the hospital!

Don’t take any chances; even a low dose of a toxin might not kill you, but it definitely could harm your health!”

Tang Xiao picked up her bag and started dragging Wu Jie outside.

“Don’t rush out now, who knows if there are other assassins lying in wait outside?”

Wu Jie held Tang Xiao back, shaking his head and persuading: “I’m really fine, I’ve rinsed my mouth several times already, don’t you trust me?”

Meanwhile, the sirens had already started outside.

This was the busiest district in town, with police cars always on standby.

Naturally, they arrived quickly upon receiving the call.

Soon, the ambulance also arrived.

Now, Wu Jie had no choice but to go to the hospital.

However, before leaving, Tang Xiao poured a small cup of the poisoned red wine and took it to the hospital for testing.

The whole restaurant was shut down, and as the ambulance left, more police cars arrived.

The sirens wailed.

The ambulance sped in the wrong direction, hurtling towards the nearby hospital.

Although Wu Jie was lively and kicking, he was firmly instructed to lie on the hospital bed and subjected to medical examinations and treatment.

Upon arrival at the hospital, he was immediately taken to the emergency department, where he underwent a relentless sequence of induced vomiting and stomach lavages.

After a rapid detection and analysis, the report on the toxic substance was out.

Seeing the report, Tang Xiao was not overly surprised.

What she was more interested in was the restaurant, and who the powers behind it actually were?
