Chapter 423 Poisoning
The next day, everyone had dark circles under their eyelids, and their faces were filled with resentment. They walked slowly, as if they had not rested well.
"What happened to them?" Xia Yan was eating breakfast, looking around, and looked at Xiong Xiong who was working next to him.
Xiong Xiong drove a floor-cleaning car past, leaving a shallow watermark at the rear of the car, which dried up in an instant, and the clean floor clearly reflected the light from the top.
"Last night, someone screamed all night. The more he was blocked, the more he screamed. Even the soldiers on guard got up and patrolled together, fearing that they would attract zombies."
"Why did he scream?"
Xiong Xiong rubbed a big eight on the smooth floor, as if he was in a playful mood, "I heard him say that he took a task that was not clearly written, and he was poisoned."
Caught off guard, Xia Yan, who was eating egg yolk, choked, "Cough cough cough cough, poisoned?"
No way, Zhang Yaya really got it right?
Didn't she say that he would just scream twice?
Is there any water in the word two? !
Xiongxiong stopped the car, tilted his head slightly, and asked in confusion: "Did the boss hear the noise in the backyard? That shouldn't be the case. I went to the backyard to listen at the first time, and there was no sound at all."
Xia Yan poured saliva into her mouth, patted her chest and swallowed the egg yolk, "I didn't hear it, I just said that so many things happened last night."
How can she say that she knew about it in advance!
One was vague and didn't write it clearly, and the other was stupid and grabbed it. The two were equally bad.
"What happened next?"
Xiongxiong saw that she was fine and could still gossip, so he was relieved and continued to mop the floor.
"Later, everyone couldn't stand it anymore. They sat at the door with hammers in their hands, gritting their teeth and making a clicking sound. Finally, General Chu, who was far away in the factory area, came over and ordered people to send him to the mountain corner of Lidai Island. I agreed because I thought it would not affect the residents in the residential area."
The place chosen by General Chu was close to the cliff. There were raging waves below. The sound of the waves hitting the rocks easily suppressed the loudest sound a person could make.
Go ahead and shout, no one will complain or report even if you shout your throat out.
The unlucky man couldn't bear the unbearable itching palm. As soon as he rubbed it, he felt a sharp pain like thousands of needles piercing his heart, liver and lungs. The screams that he couldn't control broke through his throat, hit the rocks, and were mixed with the sound of the waves. His whole face was full of tears.
The soldier in charge of guarding him sat in the tent, yawning and laughing.
Anyway, the doctor checked it. As long as it's not life-threatening, it's not a big deal. He may be fine tomorrow.
Xia Yan couldn't help laughing just thinking about it. She knew he was miserable, but she couldn't control the corners of her mouth from rising. What should she do?
"Knock knock."
A hoarse voice sounded indistinctly from the other side: "Boss."
What's going on?
Xia Yan looked up in astonishment, and saw a young man standing in front of him, holding his neck with both hands, with a painful look on his face.
"Are you okay?"
"——Me."
After struggling to spit out a word, his face wrinkled like a passion fruit that was extremely dehydrated, and Xia Yan frowned.
His voice was too hoarse.
She got up and took a cup of warm water and pushed it in front of him, "Drink some water to moisten your throat first. How did you become like this? Have you seen a doctor?"
The young man nodded gratefully, picked up the cup and took a sip, then pinched his neck again, his face flushed instantly, and he rolled his eyes in discomfort.
"Eh? I poured you warm water." Before Xia Yan finished speaking, he ran away, and his target seemed to be the makeshift hospital.
"Thank you--woo."
Xia Yan looked at Xiong Xiong in confusion and asked, "What was he doing just now?"
Xiong Xiong laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward on the armrest.
"Boss, that's the person I'm talking about!"
How could his throat not be damaged after shouting hysterically all night? Not to mention eating, drinking water was like swallowing a knife, and moving was painful.
Hearing this, Xia Yan sat back at the front desk silently, opened the backend to find the settings, and frantically added various restrictions on publishing tasks.
She couldn't fall into the same pit twice.
...
After waking up from a nap, Xia Yan took the elevator directly to the top floor of the main store, first cut her long hair short in the barber shop to make it neater, and then began to patrol the building floor by floor.
She put the brand new four-piece bedding set on the storage table in front of each room. Customers will understand when they see it - if the waiter goes in to clean every day, customers will feel uncomfortable unless they take the initiative to ask.
Xia Yan walked through several empty rooms with open doors. The two windows were fully open. The breeze blew a faint floral scent. The room was clean and quiet, without any trace of living.
Since Chu Wanfu rebuilt the new factory area, most of the customers living in the store have moved out, and only three meals a day are still eaten in the store.
She looked back at the long corridor. The luxurious carpet looked a little heavy under the orange light. The doors of the rooms on both sides were dark or bright. The elevator at the end kept lighting up the number of the current floor, neither going up nor going down, as if she was the only one left in the whole building.
When the lively atmosphere of the base floated to her ears, she suddenly felt that the building was too quiet.
Xia Yan stood there for a long time, as if she had thought a lot, but also seemed to be in a daze for a while.
Finally, she looked down at the four-piece bedding set she was holding between her fingers, and walked towards the stairs to the next floor.
There was always a time for separation, and she had long been accustomed to it.
In the hall, Xiongxiong had his back to her, sticking out his butt, swaying as he looked at something. His cute appearance instantly melted her heart and drove away all the negative emotions.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Yan squatted down like it, looking down and saw two large bags of food.
The words "Exclusive supermarket for resort hotels" were clearly written on the packaging bag, and the open bag mouth revealed that it was filled with supplements such as milk powder, red dates, and black sesame paste.
"The customer asked you to help watch it?" she asked.
Xiong Xiong's misty black eyes revealed confusion, and he shook his head: "No one, only these two bags of food."
Xia Yan was puzzled. In this era, would someone just throw food that had spent crystal cores into the hall?
She looked around and didn't see anyone guarding nearby.
Oh my goodness, I found "money" in the store, and no one would believe it if I told them.
"Put it at the front desk first, I'll check the surveillance."
Xia Yan turned on the surveillance backstage, adjusted the time to the moment she left the hall, and fast-forwarded five times.
In the surveillance video, people were coming and going, and many people came to the front desk. A closer look revealed that besides those who were asking for directions, there were local customers who were checking out - Earl and his group. There were also five or six people from Chu Wanfu following them. After checking out, Xia Yan could not see where they went.
Xia Yan didn't care when they came, and she would not care if they left the hotel normally.
The surveillance video continued to play quickly, and a man carrying two large bags suddenly came to the front desk, which was gradually deserted.
Found it!
Xia Yan quickly adjusted the speed to normal, expanded the screen to the limit, watched the people in the screen put down their things, and pressed the pause button when they turned around and prepared to leave.
Hmm? Why is it him?
