Chapter 894 - 937: Cunninger Than a Fox
Mu Beiting took the folder, opened it, and skimmed through it quickly.
As Mu Beiting read, Pete explained beside him: "That’s a company listed in the United States! I heard that their boss’s last name is Li, a woman in her fifties! However, no one in the company has ever seen this woman! Everything in the company is handled by Ruan Zhitong! You could say she’s the company’s primary decision-maker!"
"Last name Li?" Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed tightly together as his deep eyes plunged into thought.
Pete nodded and explained, "Yes, Li! However, I don’t understand what her relationship with Ruan Zhitong is, and why she’s willing to help Ruan Zhitong like this? Ruan Zhitong’s entire plan requires a lot of money, all extracted from this company! Initially, I was afraid this company might target Mu Corporation’s branch in the United States! But I sent someone to investigate, and they not only have no conflict with Mu’s branch in the States but also have business exchanges! So, it poses no threat to our Mu Corporation!"
Mu Beiting remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Go investigate Ruan Zhitong’s mother! Start with her mother!"
Upon hearing this, Pete unintentionally frowned, "Ruan Zhitong’s mother? Does the president suspect that the company actually belongs to Ruan Zhitong, and her mother is merely covering for her?"
Mu Beiting nodded and directly voiced his thoughts, "If I remember correctly, Ruan Zhitong’s mother’s last name should be Li! The age matches too!"
Pete interjected, "But what’s her purpose in doing this? If she is indeed the founder, why use her mother’s name? Isn’t that a bit redundant?"
Mu Beiting’s thin lips curved slightly, and he sneered, "The more she tries to conceal it, the more it proves there’s a lot of shady business within the company! Go investigate, and do it thoroughly!"
"Got it! I’ll issue the orders immediately to have them find out as soon as possible!" With that, Pete took out the mobile phone he carried and went to the garden outside to make a call.
Ye Anxin put little Chu Yi in the nursery, had the nanny watch him, and went downstairs, worried, to check on the servants!
Fearing to miss a call from Ruan Zhitong, she deliberately held her phone for easy access at any time.
Seeing the servants at home in painful agony, and with no call from Ruan Zhitong, she began to feel a bit irritated.
Mu Beiting pulled the restless, pacing Ye Anxin in the living room to sit on the sofa, and comforted her softly, "Don’t worry, Ruan Zhitong will definitely call."
Ye Anxin blinked and asked jealously, "How can you be so sure? Do you know her that well?"
Seeing Ye Anxin misunderstood, Mu Beiting chuckled and couldn’t help but flick her pretty nose, "This understanding is not as you think! I know in my heart that someone like her, being too smart, wouldn’t directly commit murder! She’s always been one to hide in the shadows and use others as weapons! Just like with you, she hates you to the bone but won’t harm you! Do you know why?"
Ye Anxin followed his lead and asked, "Why?"
"You silly girl!" Seeing her innocent look, Mu Beiting couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Because no matter how many bad things she does, as long as she doesn’t kill, she can stay out of it! When she caused the death of our first child, it took me two whole years trying to find proof against her! Someone as cunning as she wouldn’t allow herself to be caught! Especially not by directly poisoning in front of everyone to kill so many people at once! The most important thing is, these people have no grudges with her, she wouldn’t put herself in danger for completely unrelated people!
"Uncle, you’re so clever, analyzing her psychological profile so thoroughly!" With Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin thought further and began to see things as he did!
Ever since Ruan Zhitong appeared, various incidents happened one after another! Yet, none were directly linked to Ruan Zhitong!
She has always been orchestrating others to kill but leaves no evidence!
With her intelligence, why would she suddenly kill unrelated servants! Ultimately, she was just threatening her and Uncle with the servants’ lives to get them to leave her alone!
Seeing Ye Anxin’s sudden comprehension, Mu Beiting smiled and patted her head, "So, don’t worry. As long as she’s somewhere safe, she’ll definitely call you!"
Hearing this, Ye Anxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! I get it!"
Fact proved Mu Beiting was indeed correct, truly understanding Ruan Zhitong well!
One hour after Ruan Zhitong left the villa, Ye Anxin’s phone rang! She glanced at the caller ID, saw it was her old number, and answered eagerly, "Hello, Ruan Zhitong, quickly tell me where the antidote is!"
Ruan Zhitong said something unknown over the phone, causing Ye Anxin’s face to change dramatically, a hint of panic and disbelief in her eyes.
Ye Anxin didn’t say a word, and Ruan Zhitong hung up on the other end!
Seeing her distressed face, Mu Beiting asked anxiously, "What did she say to you? What’s wrong?"
Ye Anxin didn’t respond to him; her legs went weak, and she sank into the sofa! The shock in her eyes didn’t fade; even her body began to tremble slightly.
Mu Beiting gripped her trembling small hand tightly and unconsciously raised his voice, "What on earth happened? What did she just say?"
Ye Anxin’s petite body swayed as she turned slowly to look at Mu Beiting, a wry smile on her slightly blushing face, "Uncle, you’re right, Ruan Zhitong really is cunning, even more cunning than a fox!"
"?" Mu Beiting looked at her, raising an eyebrow.
After a moment, Ye Anxin slowly said, "She told me that the servants at home didn’t ingest any poison, just some expired medication that would cause stomach pain! Once the effect wears off, they’ll naturally be fine!"
Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow, half-smiling, "That matches her style!"
Ye Anxin gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, how can she be so despicable! Doing so many bad things, yet still getting away! If I had known, we should’ve called an ambulance instead of letting her go! That woman is too vicious and deserves to be punished severely!"
Seeing this expression on her face for the first time, Mu Beiting was slightly taken aback, then asked, "What did she say just now to make you despise her so much?"
