Chapter 1008 - 808: Change
Despite Ye Qing’s intelligence for more than two decades, she was deceived with just a few words. Truly a fool beyond foolish.
Looking at her recent state, she was really about to be manipulated into madness by Mei Langchi. And she believed it so naively.
After seeing the picture, Ye Qing said nothing and promptly went into the house to retrieve five thousand yuan for Qu Liushou.
"Remember, this is the last time. Believe me, if you get greedy, I have the ability to make sure you never see the sun again."
Ye Qing’s cold eyes were something Qu Liushou feared, which was also why he didn’t dare act too arrogantly.
Before knowing Ye Qing, at most he could have been considered a rogue, a small-time pickpocket. Compared to someone as ruthless as Ye Qing, he truly didn’t have the courage to compete.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I definitely won’t." Qu Liushou was already counting the money, licking his lips in delight.
"If you don’t want to be discovered, take the money and leave quickly. Hmph, the other night I told you to take the money and go, you refused, now it’s too late." Ye Qing realized she wasn’t ill and hadn’t forgotten many things.
Rather, it was Mei Langchi who deliberately tampered with things. Including the people in her factory.
And just when she went to get the money, she discovered that the hundred thousand yuan Mei Langchi had shown her a few days ago was now only a little over ten thousand. After giving Qu Liushou five thousand, there were only five thousand left.
She needed to urgently send Qu Liushou away to sort out what had happened in the past few days.
"Go, I’ll leave now. I’m best at sneaking away, don’t worry, as soon as I find an opportunity, I’ll leave here immediately, and find a place where they won’t find me to start a new life." Qu Liushou, with so much money in hand, was filled with anticipation for the future.
"Be careful not to mess things up. If you dare to give me up, I can make sure you can’t get out."
"I know, I know, I’ll be careful, I’m leaving now." Qu Liushou didn’t want to stay around to be threatened by this woman. With the money he wanted in hand, he had no reason to stay.
After Qu Liushou left, Ye Qing quickly observed the main entrance for a few minutes, ensuring there was no suspicious person, and only then did she feel relieved enough to shut the door.
Then she returned to her room, sat by the bed, thought for a long time, and still couldn’t figure out Mei Langchi’s purpose.
If Mei Langchi hated her, he could have directly divorced her; he had previously hinted at divorcing her after the New Year.
Why the sudden change? Why go to such lengths to drive her insane? He even gave her some unknown medication to keep her in a constant state of sleep.
It wasn’t yet known whether this medication was harmful to her.
Ye Qing thought for a long time without understanding, but she knew Mei Langchi wouldn’t dare let her stay home alone for so long, so he would surely come back soon.
She couldn’t worry about it anymore; she hurried to Mei Langchi’s room, rummaged through the medication he gave her, and indeed found a few bottles at the bottom of a cabinet drawer. The labels claimed they were for treating mental illness. But upon opening one, she saw the paper seal on the bottle cap had already been removed.
She didn’t have to think to know that the medication inside might have been swapped out by him.
Ye Qing checked the time, saw she still had time, quickly grabbed a bottle of the medication, and ran out to find a private pharmacy. She started comparing the pills one by one with similar ones, to find a substitute that, after taking for a while, would have no adverse side effects on her.
After looking for quite a while, she found one that looked very much like her pills, indistinguishable unless closely examined.
This medication was used for physical conditioning. Taking it long-term wouldn’t harm the body, so Ye Qing bought a small pack to go back and replaced all of Mei Langchi’s hidden pills.
Having done all this, Ye Qing was still on edge, fearing Mei Langchi would come back early. She watched at the door for a long time. Once she was sure Mei Langchi hadn’t returned, she quickly went back inside to sleep.
The morning medicine she’d been taking for so long had worn her out long ago.
With today’s limited time, she hadn’t had the chance to test the medication’s components, so she could only wait for another opportunity. After taking the medication for these few days, Ye Qing’s spirits were not what they once were.
She knew Mei Langchi still had a bottle on him, though she didn’t know how much was left in it. Mei Langchi always watched her finish it, and that one surely couldn’t be swapped, so she had to find another opportunity.
