"What are you talking about! What do you mean ’an eye for an eye’?" Grandma Gu finally comprehended the gravity of He Teng’s words. She said, "Zhilan was perfectly fine when she left the Gu Family yesterday. It was the Zhou siblings who escorted her away. If something happened, why are you blaming Xiao’en!"
"Exactly! What’s the matter to me whether Zhilan is alive or dead?" Gu En finally managed to retort, but his voice was strained and grating to the ears.
Just as Lin Chan expected, Gu En refused to admit any wrongdoing. He Teng snorted coldly. He had originally thought that the biggest actor in the world was Zhilan, but now, comparing her to Gu En, Gu En was absolutely top-notch. His expression of grievance and his righteous anger at being wronged were so convincing that people were tempted to believe him!
He Teng took out an unscathed sleeping pill from his coat pocket and displayed it on his palm. He said word by word, "Do you recognize this sleeping pill? This was found in your dorm! A pill, not yet entirely dissolved, was found in her nose while the doctor was trying to rescue her. This sleeping pill cannot be bought domestically, not even available at major hospitals!"
As He Teng spoke, he scrutinized everyone’s reactions in the room. Seeing Mrs. Gu’s surprise, he turned to her, "Mrs. Gu, you’ve been taking this sleeping pill for over a decade. Surely, you recognize it! Today, my wife was force-fed these sleeping pills in her drink while she was ill. If it weren’t for timely discovery and rescue, she would have died by now! Are the Gu family going too far? Gu En has repeatedly bullied my wife. I swallowed my pride for Lan Li’s and your family’s sake. Gu En purposely injured my wife’s hand before New Year. I endured that too because Mr. Gu called me personally. Is it that you believe that even if Gu En kills her, I, He Teng, will continue to yield to the Gu family’s pressure, for the sake of my career prospects?"
The sleeping pill caused Gu En’s face to change, but she gritted her teeth and continued to deny everything.
"That’s absurd, He Teng! You accuse me of murder based on just one sleeping pill. Who do you think you are? Perhaps, Zhilan attempted suicide due to depression, or accidentally took the wrong medication while she was ill!"
"This foreign pill was found in your dorm. You are the only one who could have obtained it, Gu En!" He Teng’s gaze was brimming with scorn, he looked as if he was gazing at a pile of garbage, both disgusted and nauseated, "What grudge did she bear against you for you to want to kill her? Gu En, I, He Teng, have been in the military domain, completing countless tasks for many years, and I have yet to see a woman crueler than you!"
Gu’s mother, Lan’s mother, and Grandma Gu, including Lan Li, were so stunned at He Teng’s words that they almost couldn’t believe their own ears. No one could ever believe that little Gu En could be capable of such a heinous act against her own roommate!
It wasn’t until a clamor from outside was heard, and the maid rushed in to announce that the police had arrived to arrest Miss Gu, that He Teng was finally able to let out a sigh of relief.
He wouldn’t give the Gu Family a chance to let En Gu get away!
Even if it is attempted murder, Gu En must pay the price!
As soon as Chen Yun received Lin Chan’s call, he had immediately brought his team directly to the Gu Mansion, located within the military district compound.
