Mr. Li's Compensation 9_1

The alternate scene was the site of Xie Xiaoying's death, the fruit juice cup shattered on the floor, its contents splashing in every direction.

Jingrong looked up at him in surprise, her eyes slightly red, covering her mouth in panic and exclaimed, "Poisonous wine, deadly poisonous wine?"

She simply couldn't believe it. She initially assumed they would use the drink to humiliate her, or something akin to an aphrodisiac, but she never even imagined that it would be a lethal poison. To think they would plot her demise so boldly and in broad daylight—was Meng Ziqi out of her mind?

The two of them had been at odds, but Jingrong didn't think it would escalate to a life-threatening situation. Yet she hadn't expected Meng Ziqi to be so ruthless.
