The next morning, Jiang Yu got up and rushed to check the condition of the potted plant.
The succulent plant, which had a strong vitality, had already withered.
“Withered?” Jiang Yu was shocked.
How could it have withered in just one night?!
Jiang Yu quickly removed the glass cover, and a pungent smell mixed with the fragrance entered Jiang Yu’s nose.
“This smell is…” Jiang Yu searched quickly in her mind and finally identified a gas. “Sulfur dioxide?”
Sulfur dioxide itself was a colorless gas with a pungent smell. If inhaled in large quantities, it would cause harm to people’s heart, brain, and blood vessels. In severe cases, it could even lead to cancer.
Kang Zheng must have diluted the sulfur dioxide gas, placed the gifts inside to absorb the gas, and then sprayed some perfume to cover up the pungent smell.
And last night, because the mannequin had been placed in the glass cover for an entire night, the smell did not spread out and all of it gathered in the glass cover. Therefore, when Jiang Yu removed the glass cover, she could smell the unpleasant smell.
“He’s really scheming. He actually diluted the sulfur dioxide gas,” Jiang Yu muttered to herself.
However, there was one thing that she did not understand — why did Kang Zheng attack Shang Wen, but Kang Xuan was still fine?
Just as Jiang Yu was puzzled, Sister Xia called, “Jiang Yu, how have you been recently?”
Jiang Yu briefly explained the events of the past few days, and Sister Xia let out a long sigh of relief, she said, “As long as you successfully return to the Kang family, it will be fine. Oh right, I have something to tell you. In three months, this year’s movie queen selection will begin. You must film a few more films during this period of time. That way, your ranking on the leaderboards will be higher.”
“But no matter how high it is, you still have to rely on others to vote in the end.” Jiang Yu smiled helplessly.
Sister Xia explained, “That’s why I let you film a few more films to increase your fan count. Only when you have a large number of fans will you have more votes.”
“I can’t force this.” Jiang Yu smiled. Besides, she still had something more important to do.
She had to find evidence of Kang Zheng’s poisoning in the shortest time possible.
“Even if I can’t force her, I still have to do it.” Sister Xia’s attitude was very firm, “You didn’t publicize the incident where Li Yue harmed you back then and allowed her to continue to develop in the entertainment industry. Could it be that you still intend to let her continue to make the list in this year’s movie queen selection?”
“Her ability can make it onto the list.” Jiang Yu had an objective attitude towards Li Yue’s ability. She didn’t slander Li Yue just because of personal grudges.
“But her character isn’t good enough.” Sister Xia did not understand Jiang Yu’s thoughts, “Could it be that that matter has passed just like that? The beetle and the hit-and-run, as well as those sinister dolls that were left at your door a few nights ago, are you really going to let it go?”
“Of course not, I have my own plans.” The corners of Jiang Yu’s lips curled up and a strange smile appeared on her face, “Hasn’t she always wanted to take back the movie queen from me? “hen let’s do as she wishes and ‘return’ the movie queen back. When she stands at the peak and looks down from above, who knows how she’ll feel if someone pulls her down and drops her to the bottom?”
“You…” Sister Xia seemed to understand Jiang Yu’s thoughts. “Forget it, forget it. It’s good that you know what you’re doing. However, I’ll still give you a job in the next few months. You have to be prepared.”
“I know, Sister Xia.”
After Jiang Yu hung up the phone, she went online to look up all the information about sulfur dioxide and sorted out a document.
She sent the document to Shang Wen and briefly explained what the unpleasant smell was.
“Sulfur dioxide?” Shang Wen was shocked. “Isn’t that poisonous gas?!”
“However, Kang Zheng seems to have diluted it and even put on perfume to cover it up. That’s why I didn’t recognize the smell immediately,” Jiang Yu muttered.
“It seems that he really wants to kill me.” Shang Wen was so angry that his teeth were itching.
“Not only you, but also me,” Jiang Yu said helplessly. “Yesterday, he gave me a clay doll. When I opened the box, I smelled the unpleasant smell.”
“What?!” Shang Wen was even more surprised this time. “You just returned to the Kang family, and he wants to kill you so soon?”
“I’m afraid it’s because of Grandpa’s fourth will,” Jiang Yu guessed, “On the surface, he seems to be content with the will in his hands, but in fact, he wants more than that. What he wants is the two wills in your mother’s and my hands.”
