Sweet Beauty

Chapter 923: A Lab Rat

Liang Jiahao shook his head, he really did not want to see Li Lingxin's face anymore. He waved to the staff and asked them to send her back to the hotel. Then, he ordered the staff to put her under house arrest and not allow her to leave the room.         

    

When everyone had dispersed, Qin Yu suddenly stopped Arthur.     

Arthur put his hands in his pockets and casually asked with a smile. "What's up?"     

Qin Yu took a deep breath and asked in a low voice. "Arthur, since you knew there was something wrong with the water, why did you allow Director Fan to drink it?"     

"I didn't let him drink it." Arthur smiled like a rogue. "He stole the bottle from me. I can't stop him."     

Qin Yu: "..."     

Using this explanation to explain the matter was too much!     

As if no one could tell. It was clear that when Fan Xiaobo took the bottle from Arthur's hand, he did not avoid it. He deliberately let Fan Xiaobo take the bottle and drink it.     

Qin Yu did not know how to continue asking. This matter was more or less settled. Besides, Arthur had helped her.     

Liang Jiahao nodded to Arthur and then pulled Qin Yu away.     

"Xiao Liang!" After they returned to their resting tent, Qin Yu pouted and complained. "Why did you drag me away? I still have a question to ask him."     

Liang Jiahao picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water and unscrewed the cap before sniffing it. He took a sip and handed it to Qin Yu.     

Seeing Liang Jiahao testing the water for her, Qin Yu smiled from ear to ear. "What are you doing? Like a eunuch, you also tested the poison for me."     

Liang Jiahao frowned. "You can still laugh? If you had drunk that water, you would be the one in the hospital now!"     

Qin Yu bit her lip. "Aren't I fine, though?"     

Noticing that Liang Jiahao was changing the subject, Qin Yu pulled him back and asked, "You still haven't answered my question. Why did you drag me away? Aren't you curious why Arthur let Director Fan drink the water?"     

Liang Jiahao did not want to talk about this topic, but he knew Qin Yu's character very well. If he did not give her a satisfactory answer, she would not give up.     

Seeing that Qin Yu did not drink the water, Liang Jiahao took the bottle back from her hand and took another sip. After his throat was completely moist, he said softly. "My guess is only Arthur saw Li Lingxin's assistant put the bottle here. He might have suspected something was wrong with the water but could not confirm it. So, he wanted to find a lab rat to test it. To see if there really was something wrong with the water. He could not let himself test it, could he?"     

Qin Yu suddenly asked, "You mean Director Fan is that lab rat?"     

Liang Jiahao nodded. "I think so."     

Qin Yu immediately imagined Fan Xiaobo turning into a small white mouse and being locked in a cage by Arthur. From time to time, Arthur would feed water into Fan Xiaobo's mouth. Fan Xiaobo, this poor white mouse, was clueless and ate whatever Arthur gave him.     

"Hahahaha..." Thinking of this, Qin Yu burst into laughter. She laughed and laughed until she forgot the most important question. If Fan Xiaobo could be Arthur's lab rat, then why not her? Why didn't Arthur let Qin Yu drink the water? Why did he stop her?     

Originally, this was just a lie from Liang Jiahao to Qin Yu. She had no idea that the key to this was something Liang Jiahao, himself, had already thought of.     

This Arthur... Heh! Even though he knew that Qin Yu was already married, even though he knew that her husband was there, he still fell in love with her.     

Arthur had fallen in love with his woman!

Currently, Fan Xiaobo was receiving emergency treatment at the hospital. His condition was very serious, but fortunately, he did not drink the water much. He was taken to the hospital in time, and the doctors barely managed to save his life.     

It's just... because his stomach was badly burned and he also had gastritis, he had to be treated in the hospital for at least a week.     

After Fan Xiaobo was pushed out of the emergency room, his whole body was weak and his face was terribly pale.     

After hearing this news, Liang Jiahao could only temporarily stop filming. He gave everyone a week off and waited until Fan Xiaobo was released before continuing the filming.     

In the evening, Liang Jiahao and Qin Yu decided to visit Fan Xiaobo. There were two staff members standing at the door. One was an assistant to Fan Xiaobo, and the other was an assistant director.     

Before they could enter, the assistant director blocked their path.     

"President Liang, if we postpone the shooting, we will lose a lot of money!"     

Liang Jiahao was a wise man. How could he not understand the meaning behind the assistant director's words?     

He smiled. "It's all right. The company has a lot of money and we can afford to waste this much money. After all, Director Fan is the best director in our country. We valued him very much and can only be calm if he directs this movie."     

This answer made the assistant director's face turn red. He was speechless for a long time.     

Qin Yu saw the anxious expression on the assistant director's face and sighed helplessly in her heart. Fan Xiaobo's fate was really pitiful. He was still lying in the hospital, but someone had already started to have an idea to be a director.     

Actually, something like this was normal, and it wasn't like Qin Yu had never seen it before.     

Just like Li Lingxin's attempt to hurt her. She felt that as long as something happened to Qin Yu, she could take over the position herself.     

But what about the truth?     

Even if something happened to Qin Yu, Li Lingxin would still not be able to be the female lead.     

After all, their status was not at the same level. A good movie needed quality, not quantity.     

Liang Jiahao did not have a good temper, but he did not want to be angry with the assistant director. Instead, he asked politely. "Can I come in now?"     

The assistant director immediately shut up and smiled awkwardly. "Yes, yes, of course."     

Liang Jiahao pushed open the door and walked in with Qin Yu.     

Fan Xiaobo had an IV drip in his hand and there was a medical apparatus next to him. He looked like a terminally ill patient.     

When Qin Yu saw this, she continued to blame herself. If it weren't for Arthur, she might be the one lying here.     

She stood by the bed and looked at Fan Xiaobo's pale face with guilt. "Director Fan, I'm sorry. This is all my fault."     

Fan Xiaobo's eyes widened when he heard that. Weakly, he asked, "Qin Yu, why did you say that?"     

Qin Yu immediately told him everything, starting from Li Lingxin being instigated by Shen Xieren. She did not exaggerate the truth in the slightest. But she left out the fact that Arthur knew something was wrong with the water.     

She could not tell Fan Xiaobo about it.         

    

If he knew that he had become a lab rat for Arthur, how sad would he be?
