Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: Making a Move
If you say there’s no hidden rule behind this, who would believe it? Isn’t this woman just relying on a good background and a wealthy family?
Isn’t it because she’s the daughter of the famous communications giant, the Hua Clan, that she sails through life so smoothly? She doesn’t have the ability at all; she’s just relying on backdoor channels.
What makes him hate more is, clearly with so much money, she could easily work at a big company, yet she insists on coming here to snatch jobs from those who are struggling hard. Making those from humble backgrounds, who have worked tirelessly for over twenty years, remain suppressed below.
But what confuses him is, even though the Hua Clan is well-known, it’s only in the communications industry, how do they have the power to meddle in the military industry?
To think they actually paved the way for this girl all the way, allowing her to get into such an impressive research group. No matter how strong a network, could anyone possibly achieve this?
However, Arles didn’t dwell on it. He sat in a dark corner, staring at Jun Yiyi, who was laughing happily with her colleagues clinking glasses, and a dark thought flashed through his mind.
If this girl truly wants to take this position, there would be absolutely no chance for him. But how could he be willing? He was born to a poor family in South America, with his family smuggling here, living in the slums, leading a tough life. He struggled to get to where he is today just to seize such an opportunity to soar high and escape poverty.
But the opportunity is right in front of him, yet it might be snatched away by this girl.
He was unwilling!
As long as he removes this girl, his future would be limitless. This enormous temptation made him feel both nervous and excited inside.
Once this thought occurred to him, he almost had no hesitation.
Tonight is a great opportunity. Jun Yiyi seldom comes out to have fun like this. Celebrating her birthday tonight, she must be very happy, and with the professor and colleagues around, she would not be on guard. After drinking some alcohol, her consciousness wouldn’t be as sharp.
It’s exactly the time to make a move, or else it will be much harder in the future.
Moreover, this is a tourist paradise, with many tourists around. If any murder case occurs, it’s hard to pinpoint suspects.
With this thought, Arles immediately began to take action. There weren’t many other means to commit a crime in a bar.
He walked to the street behind the bar and indeed saw a few small thugs approaching in the dim light, asking if he needed something good. He smiled, bought a small bottle of pale blue powder from them, whispered a few words into one thug’s ear, and handed him a wad of cash. Instantly, the thugs’ eyes glowed like hungry wolves.
He returned inside the bar, took a tray and poured a few glasses of wine, then added the powder to all the glasses.
He wasn’t stupid, after all, being a top student, his means of committing a crime were meticulous. To poison just one person wouldn’t remove the suspicion on himself, so naturally, he poisoned everyone. That way, when investigated later, suspicion wouldn’t fall on him. Of course, he put the heaviest dose in Jun Yiyi’s glass and the lightest in his own.
Holding the drug, wrapped in tissue paper to prevent leaving fingerprints, he walked into the crowded dance floor, and amid the chaos and jostling, slipped the bottle into a man’s pocket.
By the time they investigate, it will only lead to this person.
He sported a smug sinister smile and returned to the private room in the hall, handing out the drinks to everyone one by one.
"Come, let’s toast to Miss Jun, wishing her a happy birthday."
The colleagues laughed heartily, accepting the glasses and drinking without hesitation. Although Jun Yiyi didn’t usually like this person, on this occasion, everyone was giving him face, and she couldn’t afford to be disrespectful either, after all, they were all in the same lab, so she downed her drink as well.
