Chapter 145 Send someone to keep an eye on Boss Li
"Mrs. He, the door is closed. There are only three of us here. If you have anything important to say, please speak." Boss Li looked serious and waited patiently for Mrs. He to speak.
When Mrs. He saw that the door was locked, she winked at Yu Duo.
Yu Duo understood what he meant immediately. She took out a small bottle from her waist and handed it to Boss Li.
After Boss Li took it, he looked at the small bottle in his hand and asked curiously, "Mrs. He, what's inside?"
"You don't need to know what's inside. You just need to put it into the earrings." Mrs. He looked calm.
"Put it inside the earrings?" Boss Li seemed to sense something, with some fear in his eyes.
"Yes, put it in the earring. I don't want more people to know about this, so please ask Mr. Li to put it in personally and not let outsiders do it." Mrs. He's eyes gradually became cold.
Boss Li's heart skipped a beat. He realized the seriousness of the matter and began to shirk responsibility, "Mrs. He, I'm just a businessman. There are some things that I think I should..."
"I know you are a businessman, so I came here to do business with you. If you help me with this matter, I will give you an extra 1,200 taels of silver as a reward for your hard work. How about it?" Mrs. He advised.
Boss Li's eyes widened bigger than copper bells. He was tempted. He could make a net profit of one thousand taels of silver.
He was stunned for a long time and didn't respond.
Mrs. He saw what Boss Li was thinking, and she deliberately provoked him, "Boss Li, you don't want to do it, right? If you don't want to do it, I will find someone else. I believe that with a lot of money, there will always be a brave man."
After saying that, he wanted to get up and take back the bottle.
When Boss Li saw this, he quickly grabbed the small bottle in his hand and forced a smile, saying, "What are you talking about, Madam He? We are old friends. If you want my help, how can I not help you?"
Mrs. He then sat down and smiled with satisfaction.
"Boss Li, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Mrs. He, don't worry, I will definitely help you with it personally and will never let outsiders know." Boss Li promised.
"Okay. I trust you. Try to get it done as quickly as possible. I will send it out on the 20th." Mrs. He did not forget to give instructions.
"Don't worry, Madam He. I will personally deliver it to your house before the 18th." Boss Li affirmed.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After Boss Li sent Mrs. He and the others away, he returned to his room alone, opened the small bottle, and smelled it.
"What a strange smell, what does it come from?" Boss Li couldn't help but frowned.
After thinking for a while, in order to leave himself a way out, Boss Li poured out some of the "small medicine pills" in the small bottle, put them in his own bottle, and then placed it in the secret room.
Prince of Yan's Mansion
He Tingxi's confidant Shen Lu went to the study, and when he saw He Tingxi, he bowed first.
"Your Highness."
As soon as He Tingxi saw Shen Lu, he knew it was about Madam He, so he said to Ling Junqi beside him: "Junqi, go find Shi Hui for me and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."
"Yes." Ling Junqi didn't hesitate. He immediately put down the work in his hands, stood up and walked out.
After seeing Ling Junqi leave, He Tingxi asked Shen Lu, "Is Madam He behaving abnormally?"
"Yes, at 9:00 p.m. today, Mrs. He went to Yi Fu Jewelry Store and entered the VIP room with Boss Li to choose jewelry. A quarter of an hour after entering, Boss Li actually locked the door. I don't know what the three of them were chatting about in secret inside." Shen Lu reported truthfully.
"Close the door?" He Tingxi pondered.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, you don't need to lock the door when choosing jewelry, unless you are plotting something." Shen Lu guessed.
"Well, so, they should be plotting something." He Tingxi nodded.
"So, what does Your Highness mean?" Shen Lu asked.
He Tingxi glanced at Shen Lu, lowered his eyes and thought, then confirmed with Shen Lu again.
"Are you sure it's Mr. Li from Yifu Jewelry Store, right?"
"Yes, Xiao Yang saw it with his own eyes." Shen Lu nodded.
"Okay, I understand. You go back first and continue to monitor Mrs. He with Xiao Yang. I will leave this matter to Shi Hui." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave." Shen Lu didn't ask any more questions. After a small salute, he left.
After Shen Lu left, He Tingxi fell into deep thought.
A quarter of an hour later, Ling Junqi and Shi Hui came to the study together.
When Ling Junqi saw that Shen Lu was gone, he felt that something had happened, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he returned to his seat and sat down.
Shi Hui walked to He Tingxi's desk and bowed first.
"Your Highness, are you looking for a subordinate? Is there something important?"
He Tingxi picked up the crutches beside him, walked to Shi Hui, and ordered: "Help me back to the room, I have something to take care of."
Shi Hui was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what meant. He walked forward, supported He Tingxi, and walked out.
"Junqi, I have something to take care of first, you continue with your work." He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi.
"Yes."
After Ling Junqi responded, he watched He Tingxi and Shi Hui leave, frowning and muttering, "Something must have happened? Why didn't you tell me? Could it be something about the Ling Mansion?"
Muttering this, Ling Junqi's heart skipped a beat and he instantly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was.
On the way, Shi Hui supported He Tingxi, who was leaning on a cane, and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with Madam He?"
He Tingxi looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he spoke.
"Yes, Shen Lu reported that Madam He and Mr. Li from Yi Fu Jewelry Store locked the door and had a private conversation."
"Secretly chatting with the door locked? That's definitely not a good thing." Shi Hui guessed.
"Yeah. I knew Mrs. He would definitely tamper with the earrings." He Tingxi's face darkened.
"Your Highness, what do you think? How should we deal with it? What do you need my subordinates to do?" Shi Hui asked.
"I have asked Shen Lu and Xiao Yang to continue keeping an eye on Mrs. He, and told him that this matter is left to you to handle." He Tingxi continued.
"Yes, Your Highness, just give the order." Shi Hui responded readily.
"Send a skilled secret guard to keep an eye on Mr. Li from Yi Fu Jewelry Store. After he makes the earrings, he will definitely go to Ling Mansion in person to give them to Madam He. As soon as he leaves Ling Mansion, your people will tie him up and take him to the secret room of Prince Yan's Mansion. I will greet him personally. Remember, no outsider can see this."
He Tingxi looked serious.
"I understand, Your Highness, don't worry." Shi Hui nodded heavily.
"Help me back to my room first, and then go do your work."
"Yes."
After Shi Hui helped He Tingxi into the room, he left immediately to do what He Tingxi had arranged.
After Shi Hui left, He Tingxi closed the door, sat at the desk, and began to organize the "evidence" about Mrs. He.
After sorting them out, he put all the "evidence" into a cabinet and locked it.
He muttered, "When should we deal with Madam He? How about after Xiyue gives birth? I'm most worried that it will affect the baby in her belly. That would be troublesome."
