"Sis, what's wrong?" Xia Bing Qing opened her eyes and saw her sister gasping for breath, her face pale.
"Let me tell you, Grandma just received a call from the Public Security Bureau saying that one of our maids had suffocated herself to death in her closet. That maid was the one who had planned all this trouble for you, and Grandma told them to take note of it and give the photos to the police. They recognized the case right away when they reported it."
Xia Bing Qing sat up in shock.
"The girl is dead?"
No wonder Mu Yuesheng sounded so weird on the phone just now.
That... This shouldn't be related to him, right? His heart instantly dropped.
"Is... "Why did you say she suffocated herself in the closet?" Xia Bing Qing asked probingly.
"I heard that the wardrobe was completely sealed off, and there was an old-fashioned lock from inside. Inside the closet was a highly toxic gas, and in such a small space, you would have died within a minute. Think about it, if you didn't sit in there yourself, how could you have locked it inside? This girl might have a mental problem, it's too scary …" Xia Yunqing said as she shook her body, she was most afraid of this kind of thing.
Xia Bing had an indescribable feeling in her heart, she just felt that this was too weird.
Not to mention whether that girl was mentally ill, why hadn't she died earlier or later? Why did she choose to climb into the sealed closet when Mu Yuesheng found out where she was, lock herself in, and release poison gas to kill her?
At most, she had pushed her into the cabin to scare her. Was it really that serious to commit suicide out of guilt?
Furthermore, she had no enmity with that maid. There were so many people in the Mu family, so why did they pick her and randomly mess with her?
"Sis, everyone in the Mu family knows about this, right?" Xia Bing asked her.
"That's right, the call was made. We're all downstairs, and this time, I'm guessing only Yue Sen doesn't know. It's too scary. You're talking about a girl, what can't she understand? She's making herself crazy …"
Xia Bing Qing did not listen to what her sister said behind her, but she mentioned Mu Yuesheng. She said that he didn't know yet, so that proved that he wasn't involved in it.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Mu Yuesheng arrived home. After hearing the butler's explanation, she carried a bag of snacks upstairs.
When he entered Xia Bing Qing's room, he saw her winking at him again.
Mu Yuesheng didn't show any emotions.
"Yueshen, you're back." Xia Yunqing turned around to look at him and then said nervously, "Did you know that the maid from last time —"
"I heard about it from downstairs." Mu Yuesheng stopped her. "Eldest sister-in-law, you can leave first. I want to stay alone with Bing Qing for a while."
"Alright, I'll go out first!"
Xia Yunqing stood up and left the room.
Xia Bing Qing stared at Mu Yuesheng for a while before asking, "What's going on?"
"Just as you've heard, that maid died. I originally planned to tell you about such an unlucky matter tomorrow, but obviously, the news spread very quickly." Mu Yuesheng sat down on a chair, a little tired.
"The secretary said he found the person this afternoon. What did you do after you went over? Why is her suicide so serious? " Xia Bing thought inwardly, her neck chilled.
"I'll go over in the afternoon and tell her who she bought some food, and I want to see who she's meeting with, and I want to see who she's meeting, and it's right outside her door, and around seven o'clock the lights in the room are all dark, and I don't think that's right, so I sent for the landlord and told her to open the door, and when she went in she smelled the acrid smell, and then I found her locked the closet door and died inside! "I didn't do anything. After I told the few people I hired to call the police, we left. That's how it went." Mu Yuesheng faintly said, but her expression didn't change in the slightest.
The goosebumps on Xia Bing Qing's body stood up, "This is too weird!"
"It's very strange. I'm afraid of scaring you. I've been thinking about what to tell you the whole way." Mu Yuesheng shook her hand.
"I'm not afraid of the dead, but the key thing is, the girl poisoned herself."
"I understand what you mean, but no one has ever been inside that room. Of course, cell phones can be contacted as well. The difficulty is, how can a living person obey orders, crawl into a closet and lock himself up, and even release poison gas?"
"He can do it!"
Mu Yuesheng shook her head. "Yue Bai's words can indeed bewitch people's hearts at times, but he is a smart person. Moreover, this sort of thing … he won't do it!"
"If you think about it, that's right. That is a living human life. I would rather treat her as a lunatic than a maid!" Xia Bing was extremely scared, and didn't want to think any further.
"Alright, stop talking about this, go to sleep!"
Mu Yuesheng ended this topic.
That night, Xia Bing laid on her bed, unable to sleep at all. This kind of thing was related to her, if it was anyone else, they would just pretend that they didn't know anything.
The next day, the police came to find out something and left.
Mu Yuesheng's investigation also ended here without any hope, but what happened last night further confirmed his guess and fear. This person wasn't one of Yue Bai and Zixu, but someone else.
But who was that?
There was not even a vague object in his mind.
This matter was spread around the family for several days before it subsided.
In the morning, Mu Yuesheng and Xia Bing went to the hospital to remove the plaster.
A special appointment was made on Sunday to avoid the crowded scene in the hospital.
They were sent by two people and did not bring anyone else.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Yin waved at them from the front gate. Behind them, Ji Xiu was there as well, so he nodded to them.
"You informed them?" When Mu Yuesheng saw Ji Xiu, he was secretly unhappy.
"I will... He sent a message on WeChat saying that I'm going to remove the plaster tomorrow! " Xia Bing replied weakly.
"Starting tomorrow, the phone will be confiscated!"
Xiao Yin came over to help push Xia Bing Qing away. "Hey, Third Young Master, don't be so serious. We're just here to keep you company. Let's go —"
Xiao Yin pushed Xia Bing Qing forward.
"Be careful –" Mu Yuesheng started to sweat as she saw Xiao Yin charge at her.
"Xiao Yin!" "Slow down!"
"Stop!" Ji Xiu yelled, causing Xiao Yin, the demon king, to slow down.
Mu Yuesheng looked at Ji Xiu. With a faint voice, she said, "Professor Ji, you're so busy. You really don't need to come here on purpose."
"We're here, let's do it like this. Let's go in!" Ji Xiu calmly replied and politely waved his hand.
The four went in and went straight to the orthopedic department.
After removing the plaster, Xia Bing took a few steps forward, feeling as light as a swallow, but the doctor still told her to walk as little as possible before consolidating her strength.
Xia Bing Qing didn't care so much. She had already been in a wheelchair for a month, and it was unbearable for her.
After leaving the hospital, it was still early. It was rare for the four of them to get together, so she waved goodbye to the days of sitting in a wheelchair. In a good mood, Xia Bing Qing suggested that they go to the restaurant in the mountain area for lunch.
"I'll go, I'll go!" Xiao Yin was the first to enthusiastically agree.
Ji Xiu hesitated, "I still have something to do at one o'clock in the afternoon. I'm afraid it's too late!"
His words struck right into Mu Yuesheng's heart. He immediately said, "Then next time! Let's go home today!"
Xia Bingqing and Xiao Yin simultaneously looked at each other, sending out a wave of resentment.
