Chapter 892 - 935: Releasing the Tiger Back to the Mountain Brings Endless Trouble
Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting simultaneously furrowed their brows! Ye Anxin was filled with questions regarding Ruan Zhitong’s words!
At that moment, half of the servants, led by the butler, who were standing well in the living room, suddenly clutched their stomachs, squatting on the ground in pain, and moaning in agony.
Ye Anxin was startled and hurriedly handed little Chu Yi to Mu Beiting, ran to the butler’s side, held the butler’s arm, and asked anxiously, "Butler, what’s wrong? What’s happening?"
The butler shook his head, painfully said, "I... don’t know! Only know the stomach is very painful...!" Saying this, he could no longer hold up, directly collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach rolling in pain.
Seeing the servants rolling into a ball on the ground, Ye Anxin panicked at a loss, helplessly uttered, "How could this be? What’s happening here?"
Some servants whose stomachs didn’t hurt were also standing beside in panic, completely clueless about what had happened, not knowing what to do!
"Haha... Catch me, catch me if you can! Anyway, so many people to accompany me in death, it’s worth dying like this! Haha...!" Ruan Zhitong tilted her head, laughing arrogantly.
Listening to her arrogant laughter, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.
The butler lay on the ground, clutching his stomach, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead!
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, weakly uttered, "I remember now, just before the villa was surrounded, she personally made us tea and asked us to drink with her! There must be a problem with that tea! She did it on purpose, planned it from the start!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin looked incredulously at Ruan Zhitong, unable to believe she had such foresight, knowing they’d come to settle accounts, she already had an escape route planned!
Ruan Zhitong did not deny but admitted boldly, "That’s right, I did drug the tea! I let you see if someone as cold and indifferent as Mu Beiting would sacrifice so many lives for mine!"
Ye Anxin asked puzzled, "How did you know we were coming? Since you knew we were coming, why didn’t you leave earlier and instead poisoned them?"
Ruan Zhitong raised her eyebrows, nonchalantly said, "How did I know? Of course, from the upstairs window! Suddenly so many cars appear halfway up the hill, even a fool would know something’s happening! So I intentionally went downstairs, acted casual, asked them to drink tea, and cooked tea myself, seized the chance to poison. This successful plan was because of you! If you hadn’t been so close with them, treated them like family, do you think they’d drink tea with me?"
Ye Anxin, furious, her face flushed, asked, "Where did you get the poison? Why do you have poison on you?"
"Do you think I’m like you? I always leave a way out for myself! If necessary, I’d rather perish together! After all, killing one person counts as murder, killing so many still counts as murder, does it make a difference? If they die, it’s your conscience haunted, not mine!" When talking about murder, Ruan Zhitong appeared unusually calm! As if she was talking about killing ants rather than humans.
Seeing this, anger surged through Ye Anxin, she angrily shouted, "You... How can you do this? Are you even human?"
Ruan Zhitong’s eyes blazed red, openly stated, "I’m not human. Twelve years ago when I returned and saw the man I loved married you, I wasn’t human anymore! Now I’m no different from walking dead! Since I’m not happy, why should I let you all be happy?"
Ye Anxin angrily asked, "You... What exactly do you want?"
Ruan Zhitong remained calm, composedly stated, "What do I want? Release me, let me go and I’ll spare them, give them the antidote! Otherwise, just let them die with me!"
"You...!" Ye Anxin was too angry to speak!
Unwilling to just let Ruan Zhitong go, yet even more unwilling for so many servants at home to die with her! Watching so many servants collapsed in pain on the ground, Ye Anxin was conflicted, not knowing what to do!
Helplessly, Ye Anxin had to walk to Mu Beiting’s side, "Uncle, let her go! Although she deserves to die, we can’t let so many innocent people die with her! Let her go this time!"
Mu Beiting refused decisively, "No way! Letting the tiger return to the mountain will only bring endless trouble!"
Ye Anxin hesitated, "But... but these are the servants who’ve been serving us for so many years, how can we watch them die like this!"
Understanding Mu Beiting’s thoughts, Ruan Zhitong immediately spoke, "Mu Beiting, don’t harbor any illusions! I’m telling you, even if you call an ambulance now, I assure you, carried away would be their bodies! I’ll give you half an hour! If you don’t decide then prepare for their funeral!"
Mu Beiting’s face darkened, ordered Pete, "Search, thoroughly inside and outside the house! Especially anything this woman has touched! Find the antidote by all means!"
"Yes!" Pete nodded, left two bodyguards to watch over Ruan Zhitong, then led the others to search for the antidote!
Ruan Zhitong wasn’t afraid at all that Pete would find the antidote! Still sat composedly on the ground, a faint smile on her lips, calmly watching Ye Anxin!
Mu Beiting sat on the sofa, his long, distinct fingers rhythmically tapping his thigh, his sharp eyes fixed coldly on Ruan Zhitong!
Ye Anxin, meanwhile, nervously watched the staircase, silently prayed Pete would find the antidote!
Unfortunately, after a while, Pete combed through inside and outside the house meticulously, didn’t even overlook the grass! But still found no clues!
Seeing Pete return empty-handed, Ye Anxin’s heart sank!
Unable to find the antidote inside or outside the house, Pete entered and said to two female servants, "Search her! Search carefully!"
The servants nodded, quickly stepped to Ruan Zhitong’s side, thoroughly searched her from head to toe!
Ruan Zhitong cooperated, to facilitate the search, spread her arms open to ease their search.
Unfortunately, after searching her, nothing was found!
Ruan Zhitong calmly said, "Mu Beiting, time is running out! You now have ten minutes!
Hearing Ruan Zhitong’s words, Ye Anxin grew more anxious, quickly tugging Mu Beiting’s sleeve, urged, "Uncle, let her go! As long as she agrees to give the servants the antidote, let her go this time! Anyway, there’s plenty of time in future, with your capability, afraid you can’t catch her?"
