"This is a kind of snake poison, but the drug content is relatively low, a python like Xiao Cu Bao, will have to consume it many times for it to die because of poisoning. The mild symptoms can be seen after being poison for several times, maybe it will only suffer from diarrhea, a mild reaction of vomiting, and the toxins accumulation in the body will be excessive after a long time, and it may be too late to be saved," Gangzi said.
Chi Cheng's hands were playing with the powdered poison, his eyes darkened and it was really difficult to see what was in his mind.
Gangzi exclaimed, "This person is really brave, but didn't have a brain, didn't have adequate understanding on Xiao Cu Bao's behavior, which was why that person can come up with such a bad move."
Chi Cheng spoke calmly, "the culprit must be the person who I frequently have a contact with, and only then that person will be able to put the poison in this way."
Once he said it, it was clear who the culprit was. In fact, the idea had long been in Chi Cheng's mind, but he didn't catch her red-handed, and he would not rashly expose her. It wasn't because he was afraid of treating a good person unjustly, but he wasn't in the mood to listen to her excuses.
Gangzi asked tentatively, "You mean it is Yue Yue's doing?"
"It could be her, we will know in a few days."
They chatted for a while, and talked about a batch of snakes in the army troop.
"I have successfully replaced the snakes, and a few snakes looked as same as before, even though the differences in characteristics are very huge. But it was definitely hard to tell when they are mixed together, and it was hard to prevent your snakes from eating it. Once the large numbers of snakes decrease, the person who takes care of it must be very anxious to report to the higher-up that it was due to illness. Your father will know about the illness, hence you don't have to be anxious about it."
Chi Cheng grinded the tea leaves in his mouth with his teeth, his firm brows bone became completely stern.
"Keep a closer look at it, and we have to make a move once there is an action over there."
Gangzi's eyes were resolute, "Don't worry. We had spent half a year and the day has arrived. I don't dare to say that it's foolproof but it absolutely won't create a huge chaos. We will absolutely get back all the snakes. "
Chi Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his resolute eyes softened.
"I have been waiting to see those bastard snakes return and didn't see them for half a year, I really miss them."
Gangzi laughed and followed Chi Cheng into the car.
Wu Suowei had been waiting at the clinic for more than two hours, he had waited until ten o'clock at night, and Jiang XiaoShuai finally came back.
"How was it?" Wu Suowei asked eagerly.
Jiang XiaoShuai placed the glass box on the table, heaved a couple of breath and said: "It's settled."
"He didn't ask you to..." Wu Suowei went closer toward Jiang XiaoShuai and whispered: "I want to ask you, he didn't touch you anywhere?"
"No!" Jiang XiaoShuai smiled wearily, "Who am I? Will I let him hold me so easily?"
"Then you directly asked him, and he gave it?"
Jiang XiaoShuai nodded, "Just respond to him very happily! He directly instructed workers to move the glass box into the car."
Wu Suowei poked Jiang XiaoShuai's chest with his arm and winked teasingly.
"Guo Zi is really nice to you!"
Jiang XiaoShuai touched Wu Suowei's bald head and laughed, "Just like how Chi Cheng is nice to you?"
"It's much better than he is to me!" Wu Suowei expression was pensive, "If I want a snake from him, he definitely won't give it to me, and won't give to me even though he loves me."
Jiang XiaoShuai laughed, "You cannot treat different matters as the same, Guo Chengyu raises snakes just for fun while Chi Cheng raises snakes like his children, and can you just simply give away your children?"
"That's right! They are really distinct! For Guo Chengyu, the snakes is just a snake, for Chi Tuzi, the snakes are people, and it belong exclusively to him, how can he let other people get their hand on it?"
Jiang XiaoShuai coughed twice, "I can smell the bitterness."
Wu Suowei's eyes were like a knife, and it almost cut off Jiang XiaoShuai's tongue.
"You should take a look at the snake first." Jiang XiaoShuai reminded.
Wu Suowei pulled the glass box toward him and took a closer look at the snake. The color was really bright, the pattern was really beautiful, and he was slightly reluctant to let it die. Such a rare snakes, it was estimated worth a lot of money if it were to be sold.
Due to a master and apprentice connection, Jiang XiaoShuai knew what was in Wu Suowei's mind with just a look.
"Maybe we should find a counterfeit as a replacement? Since we are going to let Chi Cheng's snakes eat it, who will know if it is real or not?"
Wu Suowei shook his head. He couldn't be penny wise and pound foolish, for the sake of his greed over this small amount of money, and watched his Chi Cheng got in trouble, and by that time they might have loss several hundreds of snakes. For the sake of this plan, I have throw in more than ten thousand, and I still care about this small amount? Jiang XiaoShuai was surprised, "originally you are the [1] Wu cái nú who felt like your flesh have been cut off just by giving ¥300 gift but now you acting like a foolish [2] bó tūzi to the point of chivalrously throwing more than ten million?"
[T/N: [1] Wu is his surname while 'cái nú' is simply a person who is enslave to money. It simply means someone who is extremely stingy and love money like WSW. [2] tūzi is a person who is bald (baldy) and bó is rich, bó tūzi means a very rich bald guy.]
Wu Suowei casted a sidelong glance at Jiang XiaoShuai, "It isn't the same! One is for investment and another one is purely a waste of money. Now I will invite him to eat barbecue, I am still not willing to draw out that ¥200, because the money will be gone. The couple of ten thousands are different, I am using that money as a transaction, and I will absolutely make a profit and not losing any money."
Jiang XiaoShuai couldn't help but to take a couple of look at Wu Suowei.
"Shaving your head does work effectively, it shows your head, people will definitely think you are smart."
Wu Suowei was in rage when he thought about his hair, wait until he had settle all these bad situation, and he would definitely go to the barber shop to get hair extension!
It was getting very late at night, Jiang XiaoShuai stayed at the clinic and both of them slept on the same bed.
Wu Suowei turned around, facing Jiang XiaoShuai and looked at him fixedly.
Jiang XiaoShuai also belong to the sensitive type, he could felt a blazing ray from beside him even when he eyes were closed.
"Can't sleep?" He asked.
Wu Suowei's voice was husky, and his eyes darkened.
"No, just want to look at you."
Once he said that, he suddenly reached out his hands and hugged Jiang XiaoShuai, and kissed his thin lips. At first it was only a light kiss, and later he realized that Jiang XiaoShuai didn't resist and he easily probed his tongue into Jiang XiaoShuai's mouth. Jiang XiaoShuai's mouth wasn't as hot as Chi Cheng's, it was warm very comfortable to be inside it.
They kissed and kissed, his hand slipped into Jiang XiaoShuai's singlet.
Jiang XiaoShuai took a hold of Wu Suowei's hand, his eyes were indifferent.
"Miss him?" He bluntly asked.
Wu Suowei snorted, "Why should I miss him?"
Jiang XiaoShuai hit Wu Suowei's forehead and continued to tease him, "You aren't worry that he will saw that poison sachet, didn't get angry on Yue Yue and protect her?"
"At first I also didn't think that he will get mad at Yue Yue on this matter." Wu Suowei was certain about it, "I just hinted him, so that he will pay more attention to her. I don't want Er Bao to be in any trouble because of my action. Not to mention his character, he certainly won't interrogate Yue Yue about the unidentified poison sachet, he is very calculative in playing his card, really wants to obtain all the clues, and certainly remove the rotten meat without leaving any residue."
Jiang XiaoShuai looked into Wu Suowei's eyes and unexpectedly uttered a sentence.
"You completely know what was in his heart but why are you so insensitive to your own heart?"
Wu Suowei didn't understand what Jiang XiaoShuai was trying to say.
"You know why you can't sleep, why can't you admit it?" Jiang XiaoShuai asked.
Wu Suowei didn't respond.
"As a matter of fact, right now you totally didn't care about Yue Yue being Chi Cheng's girlfriend, your heart is as clear as a mirror, she is destined to be a cannon fodder, with or with a status, and she had been completely tossed over. You only use their relationship to trick yourself. In fact, your heart is really tangled up with Chi Cheng's attitude and you would rather sacrifice your own feeling for the sake of his snakes, and let him be together with a person he doesn't like."
"As a matter of fact, as long Chi Cheng relents, gives up on the snakes, this battle could be won, but he insists on making you racking your brain, insist on making you eating all these bitter suffering, and keep on wondering aimlessly. Hence your grievances, your pain and you are willing to suffer hardships for those coldblooded animals."
"What you care about is only the importance of the snakes toward Chi Cheng."
"You are suffering at the thought of Chi Cheng stubbornly won't give up on his snakes."
Wu Suowei wanted to break open Jiang XiaoShuai's skull, and fiddled his brain, as he felt that this sharp person was extremely hateful!
Yue Yue hadn't been sleeping well all this time, she often had nightmares at night, dreamt of being bitten snake, being wrapped around by a python, and woke up covered in a cold sweat. She went to see a psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist clearly told her, this happened because you are scared, you need to recuperate slowly, and you need to eliminate the shadow in your heart.
But Yue Yue was getting impatient and she didn't want to wait anymore.
It had been three days since the time she tried to poison it, and Yue Yue had been awakened every night, she couldn't stop thinking about Xiao Cu Bao, and she was almost getting crazy. Zhong Wen Yu has made it clear that their parents would meet next week to settle the matter between them. Chi Cheng didn't say anything, and he was most likely to agree to it tacitly.
So, now she could completely start her plan.
She had contacted two people privately, and the price was very high.
"Just use whatever method you want as long as you can kill that snake," Yue Yue said.
One of them was still very rational, getting on the clear picture before accepting the work.
"Can we use poison?"
Yue Yue said ruthlessly, "why would I find you if I can poison it? I came to you because it doesn't eat foods that are given by outsiders. Don't be nonsense, you can directly be ruthless, and I must definitely see the blood!"
Another person said, "the risk is too big, there is nothing we can do with this price level."
In order to get rid of his worries, Yue Yue was ready to risk everything.
"I will pay you twice the money as long as this can be done."
