Chapter 14
Call The Police
Xiao Hong panicked. “Madam? What do you mean by this? Please believe me, this really was freshly squeezed this morning.” But when she saw that Ming Liuyi did not move at all, she turned around and charged at Yao Zizhou with a fierce look in her eyes.
Ming Liuyi was shocked. She did not expect Xiao Hong to be so reckless, and quickly went to grab her.
The bodyguards, who were already waiting by the door, heard the noise and rushed in, tackling Xiao Hong to the ground.
These people were all here for Yao Zizhou. Ming Liuyi originally wanted to handle this in front of Yao Zizhou, but she had ignored the fact that these people would be desperate. If they really hurt Yao Zizhou, everything would be lost.
Ming Liuyi thought for a moment, then moved everyone to the living room, leaving two bodyguards in the master bedroom to look after Yao Zizhou.
At that moment, the lab technicians had already gotten the orange juice sample and started running tests on it.
Ming Liuyi gathered all the employees in the villa, and everyone nervously waited for the results. However, there were also whispers.
“I’ve long heard that this new Madam is not easy to deal with. It’s only the second day since she left the main manor, and she’s already making a move to establish her authority.”
“That’s right… She just said that the fresh juice was delicious yesterday, and all of a sudden, she calls for lab technicians? This person, tsk tsk, she really is two-faced.”
“But Xiao Hong has been working here for years now, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
Ming Liuyi turned a deaf ear to these discussions, but silently watched everyone’s expressions.
At this moment, the test results finally came out. “Madam, there’s a problem with the test results of this glass of orange juice. Besides some additives, there were also some other things…”
Ming Liuyi’s eyes indicated for him to continue. At this, the lab technician continued speaking honestly, “Madam, this orange juice is poisoned! Although the dosage is small, if it is accumulated over a long period of time, the consequences would be unpredictable. However, we only brought simple equipment today. We need to take the poison in the orange juice back to the laboratory for further research.”
The crowd began to stir, and everyone was panicking.
Ming Liuyi smiled. “Alright, I understand. I won’t trouble you with the follow-up. Don’t worry, your fee will not be affected.”
Xiao Hong thought that she had escaped a calamity. As soon as the lab technicians left, she quickly knelt down in front of Ming Liuyi. “Madam, thank you for your kindness. I know my mistake now, truly. I was just confused for a moment. Thank you for letting me go. From now on–”
“When did I say I’d let you go?” Ming Liuyi interrupted Xiao Hong’s words, then turned to Xiao Fan and said, “Someone poisoned us. There’s solid evidence. Call the police.”
Xiao Fan quickly went to call the police.
The police arrived very quickly. Their presence made the crowd even more restless. A few of the more agitated ones wanted to escape, but they underestimated the police. Those showing any signs of suspicion were all taken away.
Ming Liuyi also cooperated with the investigation, and even submitted a recording of Xiao Hong admitting that she squeezed the orange juice herself.
When Ming Liuyi returned, night had fallen.
Xiao Fan was almost done tidying up the villa. The most obvious change in the villa was that the number of servants had decreased significantly, and most of them were familiar faces.
Seeing that Ming Liuyi had returned, everyone gathered in the living room.
Ming Liuyi sighed. Her voice was tender and soft, but her tone was powerful. “Don’t worry, everyone. Those who have done wrong and harbor ill intentions will be punished. As for the rest of you, I hope that everyone will continue your duties as you have done in the past. However, if today’s incident were to happen again, I want everyone to think carefully about it. There are no walls that can’t be penetrated. If you’re discovered, what will happen to Xiao Hong will happen to you! If your family has any difficulties, you can tell me, I will help you, and the Yao family will help you. All of you have worked for the Yao family for many years, and I believe that we all have sentiments for each other, so don’t let a little ill-gotten gain hurt our relationship. Besides, the Yao family is still here, and we have never said that we would leave you high and dry.”
Everyone had their own plans in their hearts. To be honest, they had all seen the master’s heroic bearing before. Although he was serious, he was generous. Working for the Yao family, the salary and benefits were always high, so everyone was grateful. However, after the master’s accident, it was inevitable that some people’s inclinations would change, and others took advantage of these vulnerabilities.
Moreover, the madam had previously been mean to the master, but now she was willing to protect him. Everyone’s hearts were touched. Moreover, she had said that if they had any difficulties, they could look to the Yao family. The Yao family would not just ignore them…
After Ming Liuyi finished speaking, she swept her gaze over everyone, then she went back to rest in her room. She looked at Yao Zizhou and suddenly remembered something. She quickly went to find Xiao Fan. “Has the master had his lunch yet?”
