Chapter 1945: You Actually Poisoned Me!

The investigations into Chu Jingnan’s misappropriation of company funds were still ongoing. According to Xia Ruya’s knowledge, with the Lin Family stepping in, the case was already at its final stage and would be concluded in no time.

Very quickly, Chu Jingnan would be formally found guilty.

As the amount of company funds misappropriated was rather huge and was considered as a crime of a rather serious nature, according to the law, as well as the Lin Family’s interference, a case like Chu Jingnan’s would be subjected to at least ten years’ imprisonment.

Regarding this, Xia Ruya only felt extremely pleased.

Ten years of life behind the bars was undoubtedly worse than killing Chu Jingnan.

His wild ambitions of chasing after fame and benefits buried deep within him would also be shattered by the harsh reality.

Even after his release in the future, a mark would forever be left on him—the mark of crime and imprisonment would also ruin his future.

Chu Jingnan’s betrayal and abandonment of her didn’t reap him a better outcome.

In contrast, although she had nothing left, she could always work her way back up.

“Confirm what time will the people come and fetch us!” Wei Che was already clad in black clothes and was radiating hostility and coldness as he checked his wristwatch impatiently.

It was still half an hour away from the prearranged time. To be safe, he made Xia Ruya reconfirm.

Xia Ruya nodded, made a call in front of Wei Che to confirm the prearranged time, and said, “No issues for the time being—they’ll be here on time.”

As she looked at Mr. Z, whose name was Wei Che, sitting on the sofa, her gaze flickered.

Even though she feared this person, she had to admit that Wei Che was the only man that she had ever met who could be Ninth Si’s match—a truly extraordinary person who was way more outstanding than Chu Jingnan.

Even though he was badly injured, he still commanded a stunning aura.

Wei Che nodded, looked down, and wiped down the gun in his hands.

For some reason, he still felt that today wouldn’t go smoothly. A sense of danger lurked in his subconscious mind and made him extremely vexed as he felt that something bad was going to happen.

Xia Ruya made a cup of hot chocolate, took a few sips in front of Wei Che, and placed it before him. “Have some hot chocolate!”

Wei Che didn’t reject. Chocolate was high in calories, could replenish the body’s needs, reduce the demands on the body, delay fatigue, and perk one’s spirits—exactly what he needed.

Xia Ruya looked at the gun in his hands. The black and red color combination made this gun radiate a sense of deadliness and an indescribable arrogance and harshness that made her uncontrollably fearful.

She had seen Wei Che kill someone with this gun.

Evil, bloody, violent, and ruthless!

The gun took after its owner—Wei Che was also such a person and totally couldn’t be trusted.

Time passed slowly.

Just then, Wei Che, who was wiping his gun, suddenly felt unbearable pain in his stomach. The numbing pain feasted on his nerves incessantly and made him become semi-conscious.

The gun in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.

He reached out to retrieve it instinctively, but a fair, jade-like hand moved faster and grabbed the gun on the ground more quickly than him before pointing it to his forehead ruthlessly.

“Don’t move.” Xia Ruya looked at him with a sneer and hysterical eyes.

At her gunpoint, this man who had always looked down on her from high above, threatened, manipulated, and even controlled her life, was now subdued by her, his life in her hands. This taste of being in control of someone’s life and death and killing ruthlessly made Xia Ruya madly obsessed.

“Xia Ruya, you… you… you actually dare to lay your hands on me…”

Wei Che had the strength of a deflated ball as his head hurt badly, his chest felt suffocated, and he was numb all over. He leaned on the sofa and looked at the Xia Ruya who stood before him with an unfocused gaze.

Regardless of how dumb he was, he knew that Xia Ruya had done something to him. He was still too careless and belittled her. He even didn’t know when exactly did she strike and how did she manage to do something like this to him.

It didn’t make sense to him—he was obviously highly guarded against Xia Ruya and had been secretly observing her actions. How could he have fallen for it?

“Are you very curious about you fell for it?” Xia Ruya grabbed the gun with both hands and approached Wei Che step by step, each step filled with caution and elegance, till the icy cold nozzle of the gun pressed firmly on Wei Che’s forehead before she relaxed.

Due to the discomfort, Wei Che panted incessantly as cold sweat covered his entire body.

“Mr. Wei, you’re very cautious and extremely conscientious. Indeed, I couldn’t find any chance to strike, but…” Her thin lips curled up slightly into a cold smile on her disdainful face. “You don’t know me well enough, so you’ve belittled me. Also, you also forgot that this is my territory.”

Wei Che had always been heavily guarded against her and even kept the condition of his injuries from her.

However, living under the same roof, it was tough to guard against someone who wanted to do you harm.

Among the three shots that Mr. Z suffered, besides the serious injuries on his shoulder and leg which made him lose too much blood, the most serious injury was the one on his chest which almost took his life.

Although the doctor had attended to his injuries in the nick of time and for the time being, his condition was much better, one’s body couldn’t completely recover from such serious injuries in a few days’ time.

This gave her an opportunity to strike.

Wei Che felt the nozzle of the gun pressing firmly on his forehead without relaxing the least bit, which showed just how guarded Xia Ruya was towards him. With his usual strength, perhaps he still had the chance to fight. However, given that he was still recovering from his injuries and was already weak, to suffer this hit now stripped him of his strength entirely.

Xia Ruya laughed out loud in a hysterical and arrogant manner. “Mr. Wei, you’ve gotta know that I’m good at brewing and concocting floral tea. Mr. Z had even once gifted me some books on this subject. The first step to learning to concoct floral tea is to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of many flower species.”

Wei Che was a man—how could he be interested in flora and fauna?

Thus, this gave her the chance to strike.

“You actually poisoned me!”

At this point, Wei Che was increasingly in agony—the numbness of his entire body made it impossible for him to move. Recently, he had indeed frequently seen Xia Ruya concoct floral tea, but he wasn’t interested in all these flowers and plants and thus didn’t pay much attention. However, unexpectedly, her seemingly ordinary actions were secretly deadly.

Xia Ruya was indeed too scheming, ruthless, and vicious, way beyond others.

Women were the most vicious—this phrase was indeed accurate.
