Chapter 364 A Good Show…
In fact, Luo Yi had made a detailed plan after he obtained the ricin yesterday. His plan included what he was going to add the ricin into, the route to use to dispose of everything after Su Yang was done eating, which internet cafe he would visit and even the timing of which Su Yang’s poison would activate. Luo Yi had planned everything to its minute detail.
In the end… he neglected the most important factor: Su Yang might not eat the breakfast he bought.
The reason why Su Yang did not eat was simple. He did not know what was in the breakfast!
‘It’s obvious that there’s something wrong with the breakfast, but who knows what it is!
‘Even if I could remove the danger with my chopsticks before eating it… It’s still disgusting
‘God knows what other dangerous items Luo Yi added to the breakfast!
‘Did he spit into it? Did he drop some booger in it? Even if it’s harmless, it’s really disgusting!’
Thus, Su Yang chose not to pretend that he didn’t know, but became an absolute fool.
Of course, Su Yang was an extraordinary person as well, being able to correlate booger as a dangerous item.
In truth, Luo Yi did not spit in the food. Hence, he stood there awkwardly when Su Yang casually rejected him. Su Yang’s eyes lit up when he noticed Luo Yi’s awkward expression. “By the way, have you had your breakfast Luo Yi? Why don’t you come and have some?” The moment Luo Yi heard this, his face turned green. He shook his head hurriedly, “It’s alright. I’ve already eaten.”
Su Yang’s head spun. “I’ll have some too if you join me for some as well. I really don’t have the appetite to eat all by myself.”
The moment Luo Yi heard this, his eyes lit up.
‘If Su Yang doesn’t eat it, the porridge and poison will be wasted. ‘If I eat with him, I’ll leave according to my plan after I’m done and then get my stomach pumped immediately. I should be fine… right?’
Luo Yi was going through a mental struggle. He was weighing the risk of eating together with Su Yang and the value of doing so.
However, Su Yang did not give him any time to hesitate. He took out a small bowl from under the table and poured half of the millet porridge into the bowl and placed it in front of himself. He then passed the porridge in the disposable plastic bowl to Luo Yi. “Come, have some.”
Luo Yi looked at the porridge that was placed in front of him and was slightly panicking. However, he knew that Su Yang would suspect him if he didn’t eat it.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and decided ‘F**k it! I’ll sacrifice myself a little first, this will all be worth it once Su Yang dies! He deserves it for being so hateful!’
With that thought, he took the plastic bowl and smiled at Su Yang. “Alright, Mr. Su. Let’s eat together.”
Su Yang smiled. “Sure, let’s eat together.”
Su Yang passed him a spoon, he then picked up a fried dough stick and looked at him.
Luo Yi was speechless as he gave off a dry laugh. “Mr. Su, why don’t you have some porridge first?”
Su Yang shook his head. “No hurry. I’ll have a fried dough stick first. You go ahead first.”
Luo Yi had nothing to say.
He looked at the porridge which was inches away from his face before looking at Su Yang’s half-smile. His heart was pounding.
After swallowing his saliva, he picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge. He opened his mouth and slowly placed the spoon in his mouth under Su Yang’s watchful eye…
His movements were slow and heavy, it was as if he was on an execution ground.
Which was true…
He opened his mouth as wide as he could as he placed the spoon into his mouth so that his lips would not touch either the spoon or the porridge.
Despite that, he could still feel his mouth burning. The poison seemed to be dripping on his tongue and the ricin seemed to be spreading into his cells and was wreaking havoc on his healthy cells. He could almost see every cell in his body being slowly infiltrated and destroyed. Luo Yi could also feel himself slowly rotting away…
Just as he was about to close his mouth, he could no longer bear the pressure in his heart! He fiercely threw the spoon onto the ground and crouched on all four, vomiting non-stop as if he wanted to vomit all the ‘toxins’ from inside of him.
All because he was scared…
After vomiting for a while, Luo Yi looked at Su Yang who was seated in his chair. Su Yang looked at him coldly as though he knew everything beforehand.
He could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. This was the first time he had experienced how scary his new boss was.
‘Could it be that my new boss had already known?
‘That can’t be… I’ve never told another soul about what I was going to do. How could he have found out?
‘Even if he doesn’t know, why is he not curious or suspicious as to why I’m vomiting?’
Luo Yi could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He could only continue to observe Su Yang’s reaction.
In the end, he realized that Su Yang did not even eat the fried dough sticks either. Instead, he merely threw the fried dough sticks back into the bag. He even took out a wet towel to wipe his hands after.
Luo Yi froze, he knew that his intentions had been exposed. Otherwise, Su Yang wouldn’t be so alert.
At that thought, his mind raced. He could not help but recall the joke he had made with his friend yesterday.
Yesterday, after getting the poison, he had jokingly asked his friend, “If I expose myself, what would be the best thing for me to do?”
His friend joked that he had to knock the thing on the ground and then call the police to surrender himself. As long as he knocked the thing over and called the police to confess, it would be a “discontinuation of a crime”.
According to his friend’s explanation, even if he wanted to kill someone, as long as he stopped his actions, he would be acting according to Article 24 of the Criminal Law, Article 2: For those who do not cause harm, they should be exempted from punishment.
However, he had to turn himself in quickly before the other party could call the police.
This was because if the other party called the police, it would then turn into a case of “attempted crime” due to non-subjective reasons. In that case, he would either be sentenced to prison for 3 years or be on probation for 4 no matter how good of a lawyer he hires.
Just as he was recalling yesterday’s joke, he suddenly saw Su Yang taking out his phone from his pocket.
When he saw Su Yang taking out his phone, Luo Yi’s first reaction was that Su Yang wanted to call the police! ‘If Su Yang calls the police, I would be on probation for at least four years!’
Therefore, Luo Yi yelled to the top of his lungs and rushed to the table to knock the porridge down onto the ground with one fell swoop. Then, he took out his phone and called 110!
His loud shout startled Pan Zhaodi who was outside the door. She kicked the door open and rushed in. She then stood in front of Su Yang to protect him.
Pan Zhaodi’s excessive reaction had obviously attracted the attention of others in the company.
Thus… Luo Yi called the police to have himself arrested in front of everyone…
Luo Yi’s reaction had truly blinded Su Yang’s… eyes. ‘Is this guy crazy?
‘First off, Luo Yi had delivered me breakfast. Then, even though I realized something was wrong, I did not know what was dangerous about the breakfast. That’s why I chose not to expose him but forced him to eat it instead.
‘After being forced, this guy actually went on to eat the porridge which was dangerous.’
Initially, Su Yang thought that he was being macho and would really eat the porridge. However, he vomited just before the porridge reached his mouth. After that, he stood up and knocked over the porridge before calling the police to arrest himself…
Su Yang felt that this strange way of thinking was not something a normal person would have. ‘He truly is one of a kind.’
As he thought of Lin Jiali who was also a little abnormal, Su Yang realized how celebrities were often under the spotlight, playing the role of another person. These people truly are “nut jobs” indeed…’
Soon, after Luo Yi called the police, the police arrived at New Arts Culture and took Luo Yi away. Su Yang followed along in order to cooperate with the investigation.
When he arrived at the police station, Su Yang told him everything that he knew, obviously. “Luo Yi brought me breakfast for no reason, I thought that he had spit into the food, so I refused to eat and asked him to eat it instead.
“However, before he could eat it, he threw away the spoon which was near his mouth and vomited.
“After vomiting, he knocked over the porridge and took out his phone to call the police to arrest himself.”
After hearing this, the officers were stunned… They had been working on cases for so many years, but never had they encountered such a peculiar case. During the interrogation, Luo Yi’s description was no different from Su Yang’s. Neither of them mentioned that Su Yang had realized that something was wrong with the breakfast as though it was pre-planned.
Su Yang did not mention it because he could not explain how he came to knowledge of it while Luo Yi did not mention it because he could only pull off the “discontinuation of the crime” since Su Yang did not discover the poison.
Therefore, the case was quickly decided since both of them gave similar statements. Luo Yi tried to murder Su Yang but ended the crime on his own accord. Although he was exempted from punishment, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
Because Luo Yi had taken the initiative to stop the crime and turn himself in, his sin had become extremely light. Luo Yi’s friend had used his connections to set up a bail hearing for himself. He would then go home to rest and await for the police’s final verdict.
According to his friend, he predicted that there was a high chance that he would be exempt from prosecution since Luo Yi stopped and turned himself in based on past cases. Therefore, Luo Yi did not have to worry.
Under the company of his friends, Luo Yi returned home and laid in bed. He was physically and mentally exhausted and felt as though he had spent the entire day aggrieved. Not only was he unable to poison Su Yang to death, he even left a stain of dirt on himself that he would never be able to get rid of.
With this, he had completely lost all hopes of becoming a celebrity.
When he thought about how Su Yang had been a thorn in his flesh ever since he came to the New Arts Culture, Luo Yi could not help but feel angry. He felt that all the misfortune that had happened to him was because of Su Yang…
On the other hand, his friend had been consoling him constantly. Even if he failed this time, there would always be a next time…
By this time, Su Yang had already returned to the hotel. After cooperating with the investigation team, Su Yang returned to the office to appease the employees before returning to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, he continued to look at the stocks while using his sticky note to transform into a computer. He opened his email and checked the staff’s resume that he had asked Tan Mei to send to him. After finding Luo Yi’s address and phone number, Su Yang recorded this down. At the police station, Su Yang knew everything that Luo Yi had done. He also knew how potent the poison was!
Su Yang was a vengeful person! If Luo Yi wanted to kill him, he would not let Luo Yi off either!
Furthermore, both he and Luo Yi knew that if he had not discovered that Luo Yi had tried to poison him, Luo Yi would most likely have continued with his plans to kill him.
Thus, the two of them had become mortal enemies! ‘Neither of us would be able to get a good night’s sleep unless the other disappears!
‘However, what method should I use to get rid of Luo Yi without leaving a trace?’
Su Yang pondered… ‘Perhaps I should still rely on his Silver Ability (Hands Of Fate]?’
After pondering for a while longer, Su Yang felt that it was too much of a waste of time to stare at the ceiling and continue thinking. Hence, he called out the System Shop, he intended to continue thinking as he observed the random prize vouchers being refreshed.
As a result… when he called out the System Shop, he realized… The random prize vouchers have been refreshed?’
Su Yang rubbed his eyes to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. The colorful light on the fourth panel had disappeared, and there was an additional voucher which was around the size of the (Advanced Life Transfer Voucher).
There were three large words written on it: [Point Wash Voucher).
‘Point Wash Voucher?!
‘The voucher I needed the most has appeared?
‘Does that mean, I can reset Little Hus’s points and add points to it all over again?’
