30: As long as you behave yourself, everything will be fine!
Lu Gui glanced at her, his eyes flickering. He thought about the hundreds of millions he had just lost in cargo, and then remembered Mr. Clayton's strong interest in Bai Wanning. However, at that time, Bai Wanning was still too young to be sent to entertain.
But now... Lu Gui's thoughts were written all over his face, and Bai Wanning saw through him at a glance.
She pouted, her face full of disdain, and sneered inwardly. Was this man trying to scheme against her again? It was exactly what she wanted.
"Wanning, I'm glad you came to see me. Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Gui forced a smile, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. "By the way, how have you been recently? After leaving the company, life must have been quite difficult, right? Do you want me to help you arrange a job?"
Bai Wanning scoffed inwardly, sneering endlessly. This person already had one foot in the grave, yet he was still struggling for his last breath. How ridiculous.
Although she felt disdain, her face wore a cooperative look of surprise. She slowly pulled out a pill she had exchanged for that morning from her pocket, her voice tinged with feigned excitement, "Oh, a job? CEO Lu, are you serious? You're too kind!"
Seeing Bai Wanning's happy expression, Lu Gui sneered inwardly, but maintained a benevolent facade, his eyes full of contempt.
He remembered clearly the airs this woman put on when she left the company.
But now, wasn't she still coming back to beg him?
"There's a small task, you can take it." He spoke with a smile, like an elder bestowing an opportunity. "Don't worry, as long as you do well, your remuneration will definitely not be treated unfairly."
Heh heh, of course, he was just deceiving her. He had already made his calculations. As long as he sent Bai Wanning to Mr. Clayton's bed, she would never be able to rise again. By then, she wouldn't even be qualified to struggle in his palm.
"CEO Lu." Bai Wanning suddenly approached, standing in front of him, who was caught off guard, her tone gentle yet sarcastic, "How should I thank you?"
"Oh, no need to thank..."
Before Lu Gui could finish speaking, Bai Wanning suddenly reached out, grabbed his chin, and with a swift and decisive motion, pried open his mouth, stuffing the foul-smelling red pill inside!
Lu Gui: "?!"
Lu Gui: "...Cough cough!"
"What did you feed me?!" He widened his eyes, trying to spit out the thing in his mouth, but found that the pill had already dissolved rapidly, leaving no time.
Bai Wanning said, word by word, her voice calm yet cruel: "It's just a new poison I got from the black market."
"What?!" Lu Gui was stunned, looking at her in shock... This woman, she actually dared to feed him poison? Was she crazy? Was she not afraid of death?
"Bai Wanning, you!" He raised his voice, wanting to scold her in exasperation, but before the words could leave his mouth, he was forced to shut up by her sharp gaze.
Her eyes clearly held killing intent, a ruthlessness that threatened to tear him apart on the spot if he said one wrong word, scaring him into swallowing his words.
"Don't get agitated." Bai Wanning's tone was calm, as if she was just saying it casually, "As long as you're obedient, nothing will happen."
Lu Gui's face completely darkened.
He had never thought that one day, he would once again bow down before Bai Wanning.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What if I don't bow down?"
"Your body will slowly rot, and your organs will fail one by one." Bai Wanning's tone was calm, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing, "You will die within a month."
"What did you say?!" Lu Gui's eyes suddenly widened, and his heart skipped a beat.
This woman... how could she get such a poison?
"Don't lie to me." Lu Gui feigned composure, although his heart was already filled with fear, his reason was still unwilling to believe that Bai Wanning really dared to be so ruthless to him.
Bai Wanning heard this and instead laughed.
She lightly pouted and said slowly: "I don't have to make you believe me. Anyway, it's not me who's going to die."
She paused, then looked up at him, a wicked curve on her lips: "Why don't you try it, go to the hospital and get it checked? But I have to warn you... the result won't change."
Her tone was understated, as if discussing the weather. She reached out, took a list and a document from her bag, and handed them to Lu Gui.
"Considering you've been quite obedient, I'll give you three days." She slowly spoke, her tone suddenly turning cold, "If you still want to live, send everything on this list to Warehouse D in South City."
It was a weapons list, and the detailed model and serial number of a yacht.
"You complete the order, and I'll send the antidote."
Before she finished speaking, she put away her smile, turned and left gracefully, without looking back.
Lu Gui in the ward clenched his fists, anger churning in his chest. He gritted his teeth, staring at the doorway, breathing heavily in disbelief.
"How can such a poison exist? Even if it does, how could she get it?"
He stared intently at his hands, unwilling to admit defeat in his heart. He didn't believe that he really had a problem.
"Bai Wanning... you just wait!" He spat on the ground, his eyes full of anger and humiliation, "When I get out of the hospital, I'll make you regret it immensely!"
However, Bai Wanning, outside the ward door, didn't care about his curses at all.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital, her phone rang. It was a call from the police station. The other party said... Bai Qingshi wanted to talk to her.
Bai Wanning's eyes flickered slightly, and a sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. She knew what this man wanted to say.
She immediately adopted a frightened tone, her voice trembling: "Officer, do I... do I have to go see him? I... I'm really scared. Just thinking about the day he pushed me..."
At this point, she forced back fake tears, her voice choked, instantly moving the police officer on the other end of the phone to pity.
They not only agreed that she didn't have to go, but also scolded Bai Qingshi a few times, saying he was a bad person.
Bai Wanning took the opportunity to comfort them a few times, then easily hung up the phone.
She looked at the dark phone screen and sneered: "Hmph, do you think I still have time to play with you?"
