Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 87 - 82: Once Bitten by a Snake_1

Because of the incident involving Xie Jijie, everyone who was with him today was called in for questioning.

Lu Qin, the same person who sneakily took his girlfriend to the new product room and was caught on the spot by Lu Yue, had originally been detained. The Lu Family planned to bring him out just for the group photo on stage, but now he had to be released earlier.

Xie Jijie’s family wanted to ask Lu Qin if he knew anything about who might hold a grudge against Xie Jijie.

When Lu Qin was called out, he was still clueless. He had thought Lu Yue would keep him detained until the time came for the group photo.

Hearing about the incident with Xie Jijie, Lu Qin was stunned.

They played hard, but none of them had ever considered the possibility of being poisoned!

This time it was Xie Jijie who was targeted, but who would be next?

Lu Qin, already timid, began to shiver uncontrollably.

Lu Qin told them everything he knew, everything he could say.

After the interrogation, Lu Qin, seeing that no one from the Lu Family was watching over him and not wanting to be detained any longer, went to look for his friends.

As for his still-detained girlfriend... she was already long forgotten.

Thanks to the swift action of Qianli Group, and because Xie Jijie’s life was no longer in danger, everything at the venue continued as normal.

The influential members of the Lu Family were too busy to worry about Lu Qin.

Lu Qin found his friends in a corner of the venue. He needed to ask them carefully about the incident with Xie Jijie.

Although the cause of the poisoning wasn’t yet known, he was more inclined to believe that someone had indeed poisoned Xie Jijie.

Xie Jijie wasn’t in a life-threatening condition now, but what if the treatment hadn’t been timely? What if the dosage of the poison had been higher?

Then it would have been an instant ascension!

The others who had been playing with them now had an even greater psychological trauma.

Lu Qin wasn’t there; they had seen with their own eyes how Xie Jijie had collapsed.

"It was terrifying!"

One of them told Lu Qin.

"I was standing right next to Xie Jijie. He said he felt dizzy, and we all jeered. I even mocked him for being weak while eating. Then I quickly saw his hands trembling... just like this."

The person mimicked the shaking hands exactly as Xie Jijie had done at the time.

"He also drooled uncontrollably and then just collapsed, unresponsive no matter how much we called out to him! When they carried him away, he was foaming at the mouth! It scared me so much I almost peed... cried!"

Despite their usual brashness, each of them was actually very cowardly.

Listening to their reenactment of the incident, Lu Qin became even more frightened. He had spent his time locked away cursing Lu Yue, but now he was grateful that Lu Yue had detained him—it was safer than being outside.

"No idea when Jijie will wake up, but we should go see him when he does," one of them said.

Seeing Xie Jijie was one thing; they also wanted to know if he had any lasting effects, like brain damage.

As the medical staff carried Xie Jijie away, they thought they overheard something about a "neurotoxin."

Neurotoxin! Just the sound of it was terrifying!

They agreed to visit Xie Jijie together later on. Lu Qin then asked, "Where’s Brother Yuan? Why isn’t he here?"

"Brother Yuan was taken by his dad to meet some people; he probably won’t be free for a while, as he’s about to start working at his family company."

None of them wanted to spend all day in the company. After all, they were not short of money. They’d go to work when they got bored of playing.

As they were talking, Yan Dingyuan came over.

However, he had changed into a new set of clothes. After the mix-up with the clothing, he had someone go out and buy a new set, which he had changed into in his spare time.

Yan Dingyuan was about to speak, but his gaze sharpened as he looked in a certain direction.

The others followed his gaze.

They saw Feng Yi speaking with Lu Yue.

Lu Qin had been hiding behind the curtain in the new product room at that time and had only heard Feng Yi’s voice without seeing him. Now, from this distance, he couldn’t match Feng Yi with the person from the new product room.

Seeing the others’ expressions change, Lu Qin pulled someone aside to ask and then learned about the mix-up with the clothing.

No wonder there was an odd look on the faces of the others when Yan Dingyuan had arrived. It turned out Yan Dingyuan had changed his clothes. But none of that was important to them now.

"That guy seems to be pretty familiar with Lu Yue," someone remarked.

Lu Qin added, "Although I don’t know who that guy is, I understand Lu Yue. He’s a calculating person, very hypocritical. To see him being so close and patient in conversation, that guy must be someone of interest."

Yan Dingyuan then spoke up, "So, are you saying that guy isn’t just some nobody?"

Lu Qin nodded, "Definitely has some background!"

They fell silent.

If that guy really had some clout, and they had previously encouraged Xie Jijie to spill wine on him, what if they were held grudges against? Had they gotten themselves into trouble?

Their families were all prominent, but people are different. Those who are treated as mascots or tools at home and those who wield real power certainly didn’t mix, nor did they have the confidence to.

Since they couldn’t figure out the other’s background and didn’t dare to ask directly, they took a photo to ask others later if anyone recognized him.

As they talked about Feng Yi, Feng Yi seemed to sense it and glanced over in their direction.

They instantly quieted down.

However, Feng Yi soon looked away, no longer paying attention to them.

Feng Yi wasn’t interested in them. He was now listening to Lu Yue talk about the incident with Xie Jijie.

He had learned that the person who was poisoned was called Xie Jijie. Xie Jijie’s family owned a company and had always collaborated with the Qianli Group. Xie Jijie was the youngest at home, the smallest among his siblings. He was, therefore, rather doted on, which had resulted in his current personality.
