Chapter 267 You Are a Living Buddha
Chapter 267 You Are a Living Buddha
Master Yu was crying bitterly. Butler Zhao couldn't bear it. After a long pause, he said to Xiao Yun, "Master, Master Yu was just confused for a moment..."
"Can you poison someone in a moment of confusion?" Shen Lan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Her eyes were icy, her words sharp: "You can frame someone just because you were confused for a moment? His family is human, but Xiao Yun and I are not. And Wang Ling, who's lying in the hospital, is not a human?"
"The suffering he endured is no excuse for him to hurt others."
A hint of annoyance flashed in Butler Zhao's eyes. Standing for a long time with a tense expression made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
His mind was in a mess, and without thinking, he said directly: "Miss Shen is too unkind. When you first came to the Xiao family, Old Yu took good care of you and helped you integrate into the kitchen. Why don't you remember his kindness at all?"
Shen Lan sneered and clapped his hands: "Butler Zhao is so kind, he is simply a living Buddha, the Holy Father has come, you can burn out relics when you die."
"You!" Butler Zhao hated Shen Lan's mouth.
He is very sharp-tongued and his insults are sophisticated and unpleasant.
"Butler Zhao, have you ever thought about what would happen to me if I wasn't found and I was identified as the murderer? I would be thrown into prison, and Xiao Yun would hate me to the core and would have people target me and torture me in prison..."
Xiao Yun looked at her silently.
This damn girl thought he was too stupid and too mean. He would never treat her like that.
"Wang Ling is still lying in the hospital, and his life or death is unknown."
Shen Lan didn't notice Xiao Yun's expression. He continued to speak in a crisp voice, "Didn't Butler Zhao just say that the person who poisoned me was vicious? I was just a suspect, but you kept on pestering me. Now that the murderer has been found, you're covering up for him just because Butler Zhao knows him well?"
Her eyes were dim. "You are the head steward of the Xiao family. You are using your young master's safety to sell favors and pretend to be a good person. Tsk, the abacus beads are falling on my face."
Butler Zhao panicked instantly and angrily shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. I've always put the young master's safety first. Old Yu was the first one to notice something was wrong with the food. He's done the young master a favor. I was worried that someone would gossip about the young master being ungrateful, so I interceded for Old Yu..."
He continued talking, not noticing that Xiao Yun's eyes had turned cold.
Shen Lan interrupted him: "Now you are the one who is using the favor to kidnap Xiao Yun. To be honest, Master Yu works in the kitchen and gets a high salary. It is his responsibility to ensure food safety."
"He only noticed the food tasted wrong after Xiao Yun ate the poisoned food. This should be considered an oversight on his part, not a favor he owed to Xiao Yun. On the contrary, the Xiao family didn't care about his oversight. Instead, they rewarded him, giving him a salary and benefits far exceeding the industry standard, and they've kept him well fed and well fed for so many years. This is a favor they owe him."
"He's so good, repaying kindness with hatred. I think he's had too many good days and has lost his sense of self. Let me ask you, what happened to those chefs who were fired by the Xiao family?"
Shen Lan's words were like a bolt of enlightenment for everyone present.
Master Yu seemed to have suffered a great blow and became dazed.
Although he never mentioned it over the years, he still considered himself Xiao Yun's benefactor in his heart.
The reason why he dared to take action this time was because he relied on his identity. He thought that even if he was discovered, the Xiao family would let him go because of his previous favor to Xiao Yun.
Although the Xiao family appears tough towards outsiders, they are always loyal and righteous to their own people.
But now, Shen Lan's words completely overturned his thoughts.
His bargaining chips were completely useless at this moment.
Master Yu later inquired about the whereabouts of those colleagues, but it seemed that no one in the industry had found them.
He should be thankful that he discovered there was something wrong with the food, otherwise he would have ended up like those people.
Master Yu panicked, his lips trembling as he quickly said, "Master, I really didn't mean to harm you. I never thought of actually giving you those meals..."
"You want to be the first discoverer again, just like you did twenty years ago, right?"
Xiao Yun interrupted him coldly, and when he saw Master Yu's face turn pale instantly, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head.
"But now, because of you, there is a victim."
Master Yu's face turned pale, and he murmured to himself: "I, I really didn't expect Dr. Wang to go to the kitchen, I really..."
"Wang Ling's identity is more than just a doctor."
After Xiao Yun said this, Butler Zhao tightened his fingers.
Master Yu then remembered that Wang Ling was the second son of the Wang family. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"It's over. I'm done."
