Chapter 906: Time for Lu Corporation to Get Rid of the Mole

“But, that requires a very high dose, and it has to be taken orally before the concentration reaches its peak in the shortest amount of time. If Qianqian was really drugged, then perhaps she was set up from the moment she entered the store or even before,” Mu Qiqi explained to Lin Mu’an.

“How long did it take for her to wake up?”

The store manager quickly answered when she heard Mu Qiqi’s question. “After helping Miss Lu to the sofa, the assistant called the emergency department. Then, the two of us took care of Miss Lu for about eight to ten minutes.”

“How?”

“Because we don’t know what happened, so we didn’t dare to touch Miss Lu. In the middle of it, my assistant wiped Miss Lu’s face with a tower. Not long after, Miss Lu opened her eyes and drank a glass of water before she completely woke up.” The store manager carefully recalled the details of taking care of Lu Qianqian.

“I don’t have anything else to ask. Now I’m just waiting for the assistant to come over.”

Mu Qiqi carefully inspected the changing room and didn’t find anything suspicious.

The smell of feces could still be detected under the cover of the perfume. The store manager had explained that it was because a child had dirtied it.

This wasn’t hard to understand.

“Nothing suspicious?” Lin Mu’an stared at Mu Qiqi carefully. “Did you miss anything?”

“Call Qianqian and tell her to take off all her clothes for today and put them aside. Don’t touch them after that.”

Although Lin Mu’an didn’t know what Mu Qiqi was thinking, he still called Lu Qianqian immediately.

Outside the changing room, Sheng Xiao was sitting on the sofa and looking at the woman in the changing room. Nobody knew what he was thinking, looking at his eyes.

Soon, the little assistant ran into the room. When she saw Sheng Xiao sitting on the sofa, her eyes widened. Not only that, she also saw Lin Mu’an and Mu Qiqi who were checking the changing room.

“Manager… didn’t you say that the shop was busy?”

“Xiao He, Mr. Lin wants to know why Miss Lu fainted, so your cooperation is needed. Tell us about the situation after you and Miss Lu entered the changing room.” The manager pulled her to Mu Qiqi and Lin Mu’an.

Mu Qiqi could see the nervousness the assistant felt, but that was nothing out of the ordinary.

“Miss Lu arrived on time at seven o’clock. After she came in, she said that she wanted to try on the dress. The store manager was afraid that she might not be able to handle the details by herself, so she asked me to go in and help her. After we went in, she said that the smell was very strong. I explained the reason and she fainted soon after. She didn’t even have time to put on the dress yet,” the assistant explained quickly.

“How many minutes before she passes out after going in?”

“There were a few areas where the zipper and ribbon needed to be unfastened. So, after we went in, about two minutes or so, she told me that she saw a double image in the mirror and passed out right after.” The assistant scratched her head as she told them what happened.

“What happened after that? What did you do?”

“After Miss Lu passed out on the ground, I immediately called the store manager and helped Miss Lu to a chair. Just as I was about to help her put her clothes back on, the store manager came in.”

Mu Qiqi and Lin Mu’an looked at each other after hearing that. It seemed to be what they had suspected earlier.

In that case, there was nothing suspicious about this assistant.

However, Lin Mu’an and Mu Qiqi knew very well that Lu Qianqian’s fainting was definitely not a coincidence.

“Why did you use a towel to wipe Qianqian’s face?”

“I saw that Miss Lu was sweating. I was afraid that she wasn’t feeling well, so I wiped her face. The store manager also knew about it.”

After hearing that, the store manager nodded. “Mr. Lin, that’s indeed the case.”

Mu Qiqi looked at Lin Mu’an and couldn’t help but laugh. “Maybe you’re really being paranoid.”

“I hope so.” Lin Mu’an took a deep breath and still felt a little uneasy.

When the three of them walked out of the wedding dress shop, he asked Mu Qiqi, “Is it possible to knock someone out in two minutes?”

“As I said before, it requires a high concentration, and it needs to be taken orally or injected directly. If it’s only mixed with perfume or some kind of shoulder-patting knock-out drug, the effect will enter through the nose or the skin. It takes at least 15 minutes.”

“Seems like it really has nothing to do with the wedding dress store.”

While the two of them were in a daze, Sheng Xiao, who was standing by the car door, suddenly said, “Time for Lu corporation to get rid of the mole.”

“What?”

“You’re only considering the time when she entered the wedding dress shop. What if someone had already drugged her when she left the company? Based on the medicinal properties of the drug and the time it takes for it to take effect, it shouldn’t be difficult to calculate when the human body will feel the effects and for the drug to reach its peak, right?”

“Why would I say that there’s a mole in the Lu Corporation…”

“The last time I came here with Qianqian, Song Bozhi was able to show up here on time. This is proof that there’s a mole.” Mu Qiqi immediately reacted. Then, she expressed her admiration for Sheng Xiao, “Master Xiao, it’s such a pity that you’re not a police officer.”

“But, what’s the motive? She fainted at the wedding dress shop, and then what?”

“There’s something wrong with that assistant,” Sheng Xiao told the two of them. “Under normal circumstances, what’s the general reaction when someone faints? If I were to face such a situation and a person fainted on her own, it would have nothing to do with me. From that moment on, I wouldn’t touch her. Or rather, I would try to wake her up. If it’s to no avail, then the first thing I would do would be to call for help, not move her.

“Because no one knows what kind of responsibility they would have to bear…”

“So, in what kind of situation would one need to be moved? The most likely reason would be to cover something up for fear of someone seeing it. If not, it would be that the assistant’s brain is not working well. However, I saw that the assistant’s mind was clear and organized, and she’s not an idiot.”

“The mole and the assistant might be in cahoots!”

Mu Qiqi immediately explained in case Lin Mu’an did not understand Sheng Xiao’s line of thought.

“What’s the goal after putting in so much effort?”

“You guys haven’t noticed something. That’s a huge loophole. It’s just that you guys don’t understand the numbers, so you didn’t notice it. The assistant said that Lu Qianqian fainted after two minutes and didn’t have time to put on her dress. However, the store manager said that they were in there for more than five minutes. What did the assistant do in those three to four minutes?”

Lin Mu’an was suddenly enlightened after hearing that.

“I’ll go back and look for her now…”

“It’s useless to look for anyone now. No matter what the assistant did to Lu Qianqian, whether it was taking photos or some other scheme, it should have already been conveyed to Song Bozhi.”

It was like Sheng Xiao had poured a bucket of cold water on Lin Mu’an’s head.
