âIâll give it a sniff.â Just as the crowd was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Wu Lili stepped forward from the midst of the people and walked briskly towards Shen Mei.
Shen Mei looked at her, inwardly amused. This kind of occasion would certainly involve her, just as she had anticipated.
Perfect, she could use her!
She exchanged a meaningful glance with Wu Lili.
Wu Lili understood and flashed a smile back at her, taking the black liquid bottle from her hand. She uncapped it and brought it to her nostrils to take a whiff.
âOh, itâs terrible! This stuff mixed into perfume is simply disgusting. Sheâs truly an unscrupulous businesswoman, deceiving consumers,â Wu Lili exclaimed with exaggerated disgust, making a nauseated expression.
âLadies and gentlemen, youâve all been deceived by Shen Ning. While she was in the United States, she was just making a living with odd jobs, not a perfume expert as she claims. She even swindled money from our Shao family recently.â
As these words emerged, the whole crowd erupted again.
Shen Mei acted surprised as she looked at Wu Lili. âMiss Wu, you mustnât tarnish my sisterâs reputation. Sheâs not that kind of person. Although she mixed this poisonous liquid into the perfumes, I believe she had a reason and didnât do it intentionally.â
âAi, Mrs. Li, youâre too kind and naive. Gu Qi was originally a gift from your father to you, and your fiance is her ex-husband. Of course, sheâs unhappy about it. Her return this time is clearly to snatch Gu Qi and cling to your fiance. Yet, youâre here naively defending her. Itâs really pitiful. Please send her to the police station quickly. This woman is not to be trifled with,â Wu Lili argued righteously, her face displaying integrity.
Shen Mei intentionally looked weak and helplessly glanced at Li Zhenting sitting below, biting her lip in apparent distress.
The implication was clear: See, even Shen Ningâs aunt is saying this about her. Iâm not making any baseless accusations. Canât you, for my sake, help me get rid of her?
However, Li Zhenting remained as unmoved as a mountain, showing no emotion whatsoever.
At this moment, Wu Lili handed the liquid bottle to Shen Mei and secretly raised one finger as a signal.
It was their secret code, meaning one million.
Shen Mei understood and took it, nodding in agreement.
The women in the audience were filled with anger. It was clear that they had been manipulated by these two!
Shen Ning looked on coldly at the two nauseating women putting on a performance, her gaze landing on the black liquid bottleâit was what she used to contain formaldehyde!
She had always kept it on her office desk. Apparently, there was a mole who had infiltrated her office and stolen it.
A sardonic smile played on her lips.
âShen Ning, how do you explain this?â Wu Lili asked with satisfaction, looking towards Shen Ning.
Everyoneâs eyes were now fixed on her.
Shen Ningâs eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as she replied casually, âLadies and gentlemen, this black bottle contains formaldehyde. Indeed, I use it for perfume formulation. However, according to national regulations, formaldehyde can be used as an ingredient in perfume. If you donât believe me, you can look up the information online.â
âBut sister, besides formaldehyde, thereâs also formalin, which is toxic to the human body,â Shen Mei immediately followed up. âBefore coming here, I had it tested by a testing agency.â
âAll, formalin? My goodness, thereâs actually something like that in here? Thatâs whatâs used to preserve corpses!â The wealthy ladies in the audience paled and exclaimed in shock.
âThis is truly despicable. I suggest we give her a good beating and then call the police.â Wu Lili took advantage of the situation to loudly incite the crowd..
