Chapter 9 - The witness
Ten minutes ago
Ren Muchen played with the champagne flute. The drink had already gone flat, and he popped the last of the bubbles that clung to the rim of the glass.
His phone dinged. "Be careful of your aunt," Shao sent a message again. Rolling his eyes, Muchen placed the glass down.
He leaned down and checked under the table. There were no suspicious devices. Even the walls and the ceilings were clear.
It was safe to say there were no monitoring devices in the private room. His aunt probably did not have the time to make such arrangements, as he had chosen this place to meet.
"Do you think I’ll be stupid enough to fall for the trick again?" he sent a voice message.
"But she doesn’t know that you found out about it. She might try to poison you again. Collect evidence."
He was too lazy to reply to this. He placed the phone down on the table and waited patiently.
I wonder what she is planning to do? He was quite curious. His aunt had been trying every single way to get rid of him and steal his inheritance.
At first, he had taken it as a joke and played around with her. But that annoying woman had decided to get rid of him once and for all. She had used his personal assistant to poison him.
It was when he saw the blood dripping down his mouth that he realized the severity of the situation.
