Chapter 124: The Mastermind Was Exposed (3)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Jiang Yi found out that Gu Qingchen and Rong Yu had a close relationship, he did not want to go against Gu Qingchen anymore. He was not afraid of Gu Qingchen, but he was afraid of Young Master Rong.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him. He only hoped that he could cover up this matter and then find a chance to express his goodwill to Gu Qingchen.

Compared to Jiang Zhong, Jiang Yi was the kind of person who knew how to adapt to the situation. If he could build a good relationship with Gu Qingchen, he might even be able to get close to Young Master Rong one day. That would be a great thing.

On Gu Qingchen’s side, the renovation of the jade shop was almost done. They were just waiting for Gu Qingchen to set a date for the official opening of the shop. Gu Qingchen left this matter to her father to decide. Her father was a businessman for many years. He had the best idea on how to handle these things.

Gu Yuanchuan was also very busy. Seeing that his father had started to get busy again and was no longer as depressed as before, Gu Qingchen felt that their family’s days would be better and better.

The next day, when Gu Qingchen was going to school, there was news from the school that the person who had poisoned Guo Yuxuan had been found. This person had taken the initiative to admit his mistake. It was a new male student this year. His name was Lu Xiaochuan, he was from the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Lu Xiaochuan had already confessed. He had had some conflicts with Guo Yuxuan before, so he couldn’t stand Guo Yuxuan. That was why he had drugged Guo Yuxuan before the performance. He wanted Guo Yuxuan to make a fool of himself on stage.

He didn’t really want to harm Guo Yuxuan, he just wanted to see Guo Yuxuan embarrassed himself. He just wanted to vent his anger, but he didn’t expect the thing would get out of hand. The school was alarmed, and Guo Yuxuan was even hospitalized.

Yesterday, he had been worried and hesitated for a day, but in the end, he still felt guilty. That was why he went to the student affair office early this morning. He found Director Jiang Yi and admitted his mistake, hoping that the school would give him another chance.

All these excuses seemed to be very reasonable. Lu Xiaochuan and Guo Yuxuan had a grudge, and Lu Xiaochuan only wanted to teach Guo Yuxuan a lesson. He did not expect that the drug was too powerful, and now he even took the initiative to admit his mistake. It was more like a prank after a dispute between young people.

Gu Qingchen looked at Jiang Yi, who was lecturing Lu Xiaochuan righteously, and felt that Jiang Yi was wasting his talent by not becoming an actor.

Principal Lu also did not expect that this matter would be resolved so quickly. The students would take the initiative to admit their mistake.

Did that mean that Gu Qingchen’s method would not be used?

......

To be honest, he was still worried about Gu Qingchen’s method. There was a certain amount of risk.

Now, it was not a bad thing that the matter could be resolved peacefully.

However, Gu Qingchen stood up and looked at Lu Xiaochuan with sharp words, “Lu Xiaochuan, do you know what you are doing? If you really did this, you have to think carefully about the consequences you will have to bear.”

Gu Qingchen and Young Master Rong had already spoken on stage yesterday. They would definitely be severely punished. Moreover, Young Master Rong had directly said that he might even go to jail.

When Lu Xiaochuan heard Gu Qingchen’s words, he obviously started to hesitate. But in the end, he still hardened his heart. “I know, but I really did this. I have to bear the consequences.”

Gu Qingchen chuckled. “In that case, I want to know what kind of drug you have and where you got it from.”

Lu Xiaochuan was stunned. He did not expect that someone would ask him where the drug came from. He thought that as long as he admitted it, the school would punish him, and the matter would be over.

“I… I…”

He did not know what kind of poison was used. Director Jiang Yi only asked him to stand up and cover up the matter. He did not say anything else. What should he do now?

“What? How could you not know what kind of drug you used? Hehe, isn’t that ridiculous? If you accidentally used a rat poison, wouldn’t Guo Yuxuan be dead for sure?”

Gu Qingchen did not show any mercy at all and pressed him step by step.

Lu Xiaochuan was obviously a little flustered. He could only casually say, “It’s not a dangerous poison. It’s just an ordinary prank. It’s just a drug that causes diarrhea. I just randomly bought it from a pharmacy on the street. I forgot where it was.”

“Ordinary? Hehe, the drug you used is called Senna grass. It’s an extremely stimulating laxative. Its effect is much stronger than Croton. A few grams of it can cause diarrhea. If you add a little more dosage, it might even cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Are you saying that it’s just a prank? Hehe, Lu Xiaochuan, you have to think clearly. Ordinary Croton and Senna grass are different. Croton can still be considered as a prank, but Senna grass… I don’t think I need to say it too clearly. You should also know the consequences.”

The nature of the drug was different, so the consequences of his actions were naturally different.

Lu Xiaochuan was completely dumbfounded. He had never heard of Senna, and he had never thought that the matter would be so serious.

But now that he had been forced into a corner, could he still have a way out?

Lu Xiaochuan subconsciously looked at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s eyes darkened. Lu Xiaochuan had been struggling with his thoughts for a long time. In any case, he was sure that he was the one who had poisoned him.

However, Lu Xiaochuan could not answer Gu Qingchen’s previous question. Principal Lu was not a fool. Naturally, he could tell that there was something wrong with Lu Xiaochuan.

Gu Qingchen looked directly at Principal Lu and said, “Principal Lu, I want to use my method. How about it? Let Lu Xiaochuan try it. If something goes wrong, I will bear the consequences.”

Principal Lu was also unwilling to use Gu Qingchen’s method. However, he was also a discerning person. He could see that there was something wrong with Lu Xiaochuan. As the principal of Hongfeng, he still had Rong Yu watching over him. He could only bite the bullet and nod his head, he agreed to use Gu Qingchen’s method.

After obtaining Principal Lu’s agreement, Gu Qingchen looked at Lu Xiaochuan and said, “Since you’re telling the truth, I’ll ask you a few more questions.”

Gu Qingchen patted Lu Xiaochuan’s shoulder fearfully. Lu Xiaochuan did not feel anything, but he felt as if he was floating. After a while, he seemed abnormally clear-headed.

Gu Qingchen saw that the time was right, so she began to ask, “Your name is Lu Xiaochuan, and you’re a freshman in Hongfeng Mechanical Engineering, right?”

Lu Xiaochuan nodded and said, “Yes.”

Gu Qingchen nodded. The surrounding teachers did not understand what Gu Qingchen was trying to do or why she was asking such a question.

Jiang Yi was even more confused. He felt that Gu Qingchen was a little worrisome.

Gu Qingchen continued to ask, “Lu Xiaochuan, did you drug Guo Yuxuan during the performance yesterday?”

Lu Xiaochuan paused, then shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t. I didn’t do it.”

What?

The teachers were shocked. What was going on? Didn’t Lu Xiaochuan admit that he did it?

Why did he deny it now and say that he didn’t do it?

The one who was the most shocked was Jiang Yi. His eyes were wide open as he looked at Lu Xiaochuan in disbelief. He didn’t understand why Lu Xiaochuan, who was standing firm just a moment ago, suddenly changed his mind.
