The CEO's Woman Chapter 212 Rosary Peas

Chapter 212 Rosary Peas

The next day, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin received the results from the investigation into Fu Zouyi's poisoning.
"Organ failure?" Fu Jin frowned while reading the report that Bei Ye had handed him.
"Yes Young Master. The doctors concluded that Young Master Zouyi might not wake up anytime soon. There..." Bei Ye hesitated, "There is also a possibility that he will be forever in a vegetative state, never waking up until his body gives up on its own."
"What did you say caused the organ failure? Did you get the toxicology report?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Yes Young Miss. It's on the third page. The doctors said it was some plant... They said there is a possibility that he contracted the poison from his lab," Bei Ye explained as Fu Jin passed the report to Jiang Yue. The latter then examined the report and instantly lifted an eyebrow.
"Rosary peas... It would be reasonable for them to assume that he is studying some chemicals and that was where he got the poison. Fu Zouyi is a chemist after all. However..." Jiang Yue made a deliberate pause as she typed something to her laptop before showing this to Fu Jin. "His neat records and journals show that he was not studying any poisonous plants, much less rosary peas."
"The doctors have already given these findings to the authorities and I heard they would close the case as an accidental poisoning," Bei Ye said.
Jiang Yue giggled. "It seems that Fu Xiaolan overestimated herself. She thought that she could finish everything before we discovered what had caused the poison. Either that or I had ruined her original plans and made her make drastic changes at the last minute, causing these mistakes."
"Don't let the authorities close this case. Tell them about Fu Zuoyi's laptop and journals. Tell them the Fu Family does not believe that this is just an accident. Also, release this to the media. I want Fu Xiaolan to know what is going on." Bei Ye bowed after hearing Fu Jin's orders before silently leaving the room.
"What else did you find out?" Fu Jin asked Jiang Yue.
"I inspected Fu Xiaolan's trips and it seems that she traveled to a tropical country three months ago. Rosary peas only grow in these kinds of countries," Jiang Yue said, her eyes never leaving her laptop. "I will compile all this evidence. For now, I am not sure how Fu Xiolan gave the poison to her brother. All I know is that after the initial contact, it will take approximately four days before the poison from rosary peas take effect which means he was poisoned four days before the party."
"Her timing was impeccable. I'm sure she was caught her off guard by the announcement, which was why she made some drastic changes. It makes me wonder what her original plan was," she added.
"Maybe... she wanted to poison her brother and make it seem as if he saved Grandfather," he answered. "Anyway, I already ordered my men to rescue my uncle the moment Fu Xiaolan leaves the villa."
"I don't think she will leave the villa anytime soon," Jiang Yue blurted before reaching for her phone. She could see how Fu Xiaolan was enjoying the torture. "But I have a way to make her leave."
...
Fu Xiaolan was currently in the basement when one of her men told her that someone named Jiang Yue was calling.
This startled Fu Xiaolan. She immediately wiped the blood off her hands and scurried her way out of the bloody basement.
"Hello?" she answered her phone, her voice sweet and innocent, making Jiang Yue shiver.
"Hi, Miss Fu. I need to see you. We already have the result of your brother's toxicology, as well as the doctor's comments about his condition. Fu Jin asked me to give this to you." Jiang Yue's voice was sincere, devoid of any anger.
Fu Xiaolan's brows furrowed, unable to understand Jiang Yue purpose. She found this whole thing weird. She couldn'thelp but wonder what Jiang Yue was up to.
"Hello? Are you there?" Jiang Yue's question brought her out of her thoughts.
"Yes. I... I was... Umm... I was just shocked to hear from you... I mean after what I did... I did not expect the Fu Family to still help me and my mother," she answered, her voice starting to break.
In response, Jiang Yue chuckled. "Of course, you are still a part of the Fu Family after all. We just want to give transparency to everyone and make sure to catch the culprit."
"Culprit?" she asked, her face turning into a frown. She had made sure to make it look like an accident. Why is Jiang Yue talking about a culprit?
Fu Xiaolan thought about what she did and made sure to remember any details that she might have missed.
Nothing.
She had made sure to hide all of his research materials that could point out her brother's work. "I uh... When do you want me to see you?" she asked.
"How about tomorrow over dinner?"
"Dinner? Sure. Send me the time and place."
"Got it." An awkward silence followed before Fu Xiaolan heard Jiang Yue laugh. "I'm excited to see you, Miss Fu."
Me too.
She wanted to say how she would also love to see her. After all, it was not every day that she would see someone like Jiang Yue.
But that would be inappropriate, so she opted to thank her instead before ending the call.
Fu Xiaolan's eyes turned an extra shade darker as the thought of seeing Jiang Yue agitated her nerves.
