Chapter 748: Venomous Scheme
Fang Xinxin made for a powerful sight as she led a crowd of bodyguards into the room. She saw that Long Jingyuan’s forehead was covered in blood and his complexion was pale, as though he had already stopped breathing.
She immediately felt nervous to the point where her heart began pounding loudly.
For some reason, though she did not interact much with Long Jingyuan, she was terrified that he would die.
It was as though she would lose someone very important if he died. She couldn’t identify the reason behind the strong sense of uncertainty that had overtaken her.
She quickly approached the bed and shoved Bai Jingrou aside. She checked Long Jingyuan’s breath and noticed that he was still breathing.
She heaved a small sigh of relief and turned to glare at Bai Jingrou harshly. “You tried to murder Director Long?”
Bai Jingrou criticised her in rage. “Fang Xinxin, you’re full of nonsense. Long Jingyuan is my grandfather and my only living relative. How could I possibly murder him?”
“I heard Grandfather shouting very loudly. When I ran in, I saw that someone had smashed a vase against his forehead and was about to stab him with a knife. I was the one who scared him away with my shouts. Bai Jingrou pointed at the open window. “Look. He escaped through the window. I was the one who saved Grandfather.”
Fang Xinxin could not be bothered with her nonsense at the moment. She saw that Long Jingyuan’s wound was still bleeding heavily. She immediately brought out some medicine to stop his bleeding and a bandage. She dipped the bandage into the medicine and pressed it against his wound. It finally stopped bleeding.
Recently, there were always a lot of troubling matters. Thus, she had developed the habit of carrying such medicine on her at all times.
“Immediately send Long Jingyuan to Jia Ya Hospital!” Fang Xinxin commanded her people.
“Yes, Madam.” The bodyguards lifted Long Jingyuan up to bring him away.
Bai Jingrou shouted in anger. “Wait a minute, Fang Xinxin. What gives you the right to bring my grandfather away? Even if he needs to be sent to the hospital, I should be the one doing it!”
However, she was blocked by a group of bodyguards and could only watch as Long Jingyuan was carried out of the room.
“Servants, servants!” Bai Jingrou raised her voice.
She did not receive any response. When she headed to the living room on the first floor, she finally noticed a group of servants on the floor. They were covered in bruises and were moaning in pain.
Clearly, Fang Xinxin’s bodyguards had beaten them up.
The Long family’s servants naturally did not have the ability to go against the Bai family’s well-trained bodyguards.
However, Elder Long’s bodyguards could.
Around two months ago, Long Jingyuan seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He hired fifty bodyguards to ensure his safety.
All of his food and drinks were tested. He would only consume them when they were proven not to contain any poison.
Even when she tried to approach him, his bodyguards remained by his side.
Thus, she did not have any opportunity to kill him.
Bai Jingrou was extremely intelligent. She naturally understood that Long Jingyuan had grown wary of her and was even suspicious of her.
Thus, she could only quietly wait for an opportunity.
Although Long Jingyuan had a strong will and it was normally impossible for her to hypnotise him, thankfully, the old thing was still an old thing.
He fell ill. When someone was sick, their consciousness would grow weaker. She was able to find a loophole in his willpower to hypnotise him.
Under her hypnosis, Long Jingyuan made a command to divert away the bodyguards who usually stuck closely by his side.
Originally, she had planned on making Long Jingyuan leave in a car and arrange for an accident to happen.
However, she had just given the instructions over the phone when she heard Long Jingyuan speaking in heartache. “Jingrou, it turns out that you’re really after my life!”
She saw that Long Jingyuan, who was originally sitting dazed on the bed, now appeared fully conscious.
Even when people with strong will power were hypnotised, they would quickly regain consciousness. It seemed like Long Jingyuan was someone like that.
She was frightened into dropping her phone. She immediately knelt down and cried in fright. “Grandfather, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been misled by greed. I am your only granddaughter, your only relative in this world! Please let me off!”
