The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 129 Poisoning

"Have you ever considered that if I really died in that assassination attempt, let's see who you send to carry it out? Humph!"

Lu Fei sneered: "Don't think you've done anything great. This is just what you're supposed to do as an executor. If you die, someone else will naturally take your place."

"Others?" She laughed angrily. "Do you think just anyone can complete such a dangerous mission? Those so-called backup candidates are nothing but a bunch of useless trash in the face of real danger."

The man frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "If you came here just to demand an explanation for this, I don't think it's necessary. You can leave now."

After he finished speaking, he slowly turned around, leaving his back to her.

However, she did not turn and leave as he had expected.

Instead, she stood quietly in place, her gaze fixed on his back, as if she had something to say.

After a while, he finally noticed her unusual behavior, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"What? You're reluctant to leave this place?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Ye Xingran: "There's one more thing. I want to know where Joey is?"

"died."

His answer was simple and straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Xingran's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Impossible! You're lying to me! How could Joey be dead!"

He turned to look at her, his gaze icy. "I have no reason to lie to you. I already committed suicide that day in the underground water dungeon."

Ye Xingran felt dizzy and disoriented. Joey was her only friend in this cold organization.

"Impossible, I need to check."

Her voice trembled, and her eyes reddened.

Lu Fei frowned. "Stop joking. Her body has already been disposed of. How else do you need to confirm it?"

Ye Xingran bit her lip, still finding it hard to believe.

"I don't care, I want to see the evidence with my own eyes."

Looking at her like this, Lu Fei felt inexplicably irritated.

"You're being completely unreasonable. Joey is dead, that's all. Just keep doing your own thing."

Ye Xingran stared straight at him.

"So, you see our lives as nothing more than dirt? I'm telling you, I will definitely leave this hellhole, and I will definitely find out the truth about Joey and what kind of shady plans you have."

After saying that, she turned and left. She wanted to find out the truth about Joey's death herself, even if it would worsen her relationship with Lu Fei.

"stop."

Lu Fei strode over to her, pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him, and then stuffed an unknown candy into her mouth.

"You dare disobey me, and this is your punishment. This candy will plant a poison in your body. You must come to me at the end of each month to get the antidote, or you will foam at the mouth and die immediately."

Ye Xingran's eyes were filled with anger and resentment, but she was unable to break free from his grip.

"You're despicable!" she said through gritted teeth.

"Despicable? This is just a way to make you obey."

Lu Fei released his grip and said coldly, "Don't even think about leaving, and don't investigate Joey anymore. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to let you experience the pain of the poison taking effect ahead of time."

She felt an unbearable tightness in her chest.

Ye Xingran's hatred intensified.

But she knew that she was no match for Lu Fei at this moment.

She suppressed her humiliation, turned around and walked away quickly, while Lu Fei watched her departing figure with a complicated expression, lost in thought.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Ye Xingran and make sure she doesn't ruin our plans. Also, tell Joey to be careful and not to give anything away."

The people below nodded.

"Yes."

Red star

"Miss Jiang, it's been a long time. You've returned from your trip abroad and your demeanor has changed completely. You're truly a great beauty now."

Inside the office, a man in a suit sat on the sofa, opposite Jiang Jiyue, who was elegant and poised.

Ms. Jiang smiled gently, "Mr. Chen, you flatter me. I just spent some time abroad to gain experience."

Just then, her cell phone rang.

She gave the other person an apologetic look, then got up and went to the window to answer the phone.

"Hey?"

Lu Fei's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The plan will be launched as previously agreed."

Her eyes seemed to ignite instantly, becoming sharp and piercing, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

She gripped her phone tightly and replied briefly and firmly, "Received, understood."

Then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she slowly turned around and her gaze fell on her partner in front of her.

The man's name was Chen Yu. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked elegant and well-dressed.

However, in her eyes, his appearance was nothing more than a disguise; what truly mattered was his connection with the Xie family.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her expression, and a gentle smile returned to her lips.

She said softly, "I'm so sorry, I just had some work to take care of."

Chen Yu seemed oblivious to her change in mood. He casually waved his hand and smiled to show his understanding: "It's okay, work is important."

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he were already used to this situation.

Jiang Jiyue sat down on the sofa again and began to formally discuss the cooperation with Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I am very confident about our cooperative project after returning to China this time. We can integrate the resources of both parties and occupy a larger market share."

She articulated the cooperation plan clearly and logically, her eyes brimming with confidence.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, listening attentively with an expression of appreciation.

"Ms. Jiang's plan sounds very good, but I still have some ideas about the capital investment and profit distribution."

He also raised his own concerns.

“Miss Jiang should know that I have also been in talks with the Xie family. I had a conversation with Mr. Xie from the Xie family last time, and since you also came to me, I need to consider the strengths of both of your companies and see which one can give me a satisfactory solution.”

However, Jiang Jiyue was prepared and calmly replied, "President Chen, we can allocate the funds reasonably based on the advantages of both parties, and the profits can be divided according to the proportion of contribution. This is fair and reasonable."

As she spoke, she took out detailed data and charts and showed them to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu carefully studied the data, his eyes gradually showing approval.

"Miss Jiang has considered everything very thoroughly. It seems I have found a strong partner."

Jiang Jiyue smiled slightly, "President Chen, you flatter me. With our cooperation and mutual benefit, we will definitely be able to make this project a success."

The two continued to explore the details of their collaboration, which seemed to have taken a solid step forward.

Then, Chen Yu stood up, extended his hand with an air of elegance, like a refined gentleman: "President Jiang, I'll go back and think about it and give you an answer."

Jiang Jiyue, like a graceful white swan, extended her hand and politely shook it back, "Then thank you, Mr. Chen. Let me see you off."

She escorted Chen Yu out of the office, like a gentle messenger, and said softly, "Take care, Mr. Chen."

After he walked away, Jiang Jiyue returned to her office and closed the door.

Pick up the phone and make a call

"What's the real story behind leaking the news that the Xie family is buying cheap materials to make jewelry?"

A positive reply came quickly from the other end of the phone.

A smug smile curled at the corners of Jiang Jiyue's lips; she was determined to eliminate the Xie family from this competitive partnership.

At the same time, Ye Xingran did not give up investigating Joey's matter despite Lu Fei's threats.

Today she returned to secretly infiltrate the organization's database, hoping to find some clue about Joey.

Just as she was searching through the documents, she suddenly heard footsteps.

She quickly hid behind a bookshelf and, through the gap, saw Lu Fei talking to several of his men.

"Keep a close eye on Jiang Jiyue's progress and make sure nothing goes wrong with her."

Lu Fei's voice was deep and cold.

It seems that the Jiang Jiyue Lu Fei mentioned really is Qiao Yi; they look exactly alike.

Aside from personality, they are almost identical.

Ye Xingran was shocked. It turned out that Qiao Yi was still alive and was operating outside under the identity of Jiang Jiyue.

At this moment, Lu Fei and the others were getting closer and closer to where she was hiding, and she was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.

Just as Lu Fei was about to walk past the bookshelf where she was hiding, Ye Xingran's phone suddenly rang.

In a panic, she hurriedly pulled out her phone and hung up...

The ringtone sounded particularly jarring in the silent database.

"Who is it?" Lu Fei located Ye Xingran, who was hiding there, based on the location of the ringing bell.

Lu Fei's eyes instantly turned cold. He strode up to Ye Xingran, grabbed her by the neck, and said viciously, "You're getting bolder and bolder. You dare to disobey my orders, secretly investigate Joey's affairs, and even sneak into this place."

Ye Xingran was struggling to breathe as he was being choked, and she used both hands to pry his hands off.

"Why did you lie to me? Joey isn't dead..."

She managed to squeeze out those words.

Lu Fei tightened his grip even more. "This is not something you should know. What do you think you can find out? Don't overestimate yourself."

A hint of danger lurked in his eyes.

Ye Xingran felt her vision go black and her consciousness gradually fade, but the hatred and resentment in her heart sustained her.

Just as she was about to faint, Lu Fei suddenly let go of her hand, and Ye Xingran collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Lu Fei looked down at her and said coldly, "This is the last time I'm warning you. If you dare to meddle again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Having said that, he left the database with his men.

Ye Xingran lay on the ground for a long time before she came to her senses. She struggled to get up.

Her phone rang again at that moment.

Thinking it was Fu Shiyue calling again, she wanted to hang up.

Upon closer inspection, the caller ID showed it was from an unknown number.

The other person's voice was a woman's.

"Jiang Jiyue, let's meet up sometime."

Upon hearing that it was her, Ye Xingran sat up abruptly.
