The stunned cook looked up, her eyes hazy, at Zhao Mengjin, "Miss—"
"You said it was Uncle Tang who asked you to do it, right? He’s here." As Zhao Mengjin finished speaking, someone brought Uncle Tang up.
Uncle Tang had actually seen everything just now, and thus, his face was full of shock.
He never asked the cook to poison Xiao Jianming, so what was going on?
Wasn’t the cook one of his and Xiao Jianming’s people?
"I—" Uncle Tang walked up to Zhao Mengjin, speechless.
The cook seized on his expression, pointing at him with her finger, "Look, he has nothing to say."
This finally provoked Uncle Tang, who said, "When did I ever tell you to poison the chairman? I just said to make some food for the young lady that she doesn’t like, to make her feel disgusted—"
The moment Uncle Tang said this, everyone present was astonished.
Housekeeper Xiao hurriedly yelled at Uncle Tang, anxious, "What are you doing? Have you gone senile?" He stomped his foot, showing helplessness towards Uncle Tang.
Uncle Tang also spoke righteously, "This is originally the chairman’s home, how can outsiders be allowed to take charge?"
"The problem is, the only one who can now protect the chairman is the young lady. Look at you, you’ve been used and don’t even know it!"
Uncle Tang blinked, incredulous, "How can that be possible?"
"I know, with your personality, you definitely wouldn’t think of such bad ideas, who taught you?"
Uncle Tang hesitantly looked around the room, finally resting his gaze on the door of Xiao Jianming’s room.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Mengjin’s face darkened, saying, "Was it Chairman Hong—"
Ah! The expression of shock on Uncle Tang’s face said everything.
"You, how did you know? It was—" Uncle Tang’s mind turned, "It was Gu Nuan—"
"Yes, Auntie guessed it." Zhao Mengjin said, "So, you’ve been used."
"You say Chairman Hong actually wants to harm the chairman, how is that possible?" Uncle Tang shook his head.
"Why not?" Zhao Mengjin said, "The old lady is still under his control now. If he dared to harm the old lady, do you think he wouldn’t act against the chairman?"
"No." Uncle Tang shook his head, suddenly remembering something, looking at them with surprise again, "How do you know where the old lady is?"
"Did he let you meet the old lady?"
This question from Zhao Mengjin once again left Uncle Tang stunned. Previously, he seemed to intend to inquire about the old lady for Xiao Jianming, but the other party always refused in various indirect ways, telling him not to worry.
But now, as Zhao Mengjin pointed it out, it was quite obvious that the old lady had met with an incident just like Xiao Yebai long ago.
Uncle Tang’s legs suddenly gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
The cook, seeing that the situation had been exposed, began to struggle violently to resist. Housekeeper Xiao called the police to handle the situation, while having the perpetrating cook firmly tied up.
However, this cook remained tenaciously silent, like a die-hard warrior, unwilling to open her mouth again.
Looking at her stubbornness, Zhao Mengjin merely snorted coldly, speaking on behalf of Gu Nuan, "You’re that man’s mother, aren’t you?"
The cook’s body shuddered at her words, then she whispered, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You’re that man’s wet nurse. Without such a connection, no amount of money could make you risk your life for him."
Which man?
