Chapter 275 Wrong Move

The restaurant was already full when Jiang Mian and Wang Ruo arrived. However, that was not a problem since Jiang Mian had already made preparations ahead of time.

"This is beautiful!" Wang Ruo stated the moment they arrived at the patio of the restaurant. From the patio, one could see the softly golden sand, with small lapping waves of the ocean. It was autumn, almost winter, so the sun was almost out. Yet, it was warm. The sky was clear and cozy.

"This was your favorite place in the country." Jiang Mian said while holding hands with Wang Ruo. Li Qiang had only allowed them to dine for two hours. They were currently in a restaurant, almost a mile away from the port, as Li Qiang had ordered. Everything had already been arranged, from transportation to the people that were guarding them.

There was a total of five people, disguised as guests, sitting next to their table. Also, there were another five people outside of the restaurant, waiting for them.

Jiang Mian sneered at the thought of how careful Li Qiang was with Wang Ruo. Did he think that Jiang Mian would not found a way to kill Wang Ruo if she wanted to?

She was planning to give Wang Ruo a slow acting poison. It will only show effect three hours after it had been taken and by then it would be too late. In just two hours after someone took this poison: their body would start shutting down. And by the third hour, the person’s brain would bloat, causing massive internal hemorrhage. The person would either die or be in a vegetative state forever.

She was planning to give this poison to her, just before they go back to the island. Jiang Mian was sure that by the time Wang Ruo felt the symptoms, it would be too late to save her.

"Really? I... I don’t remember... I’m sorry." Wang Ruo lowered her head, just after they had taken a seat at the square table with a massive umbrella, protecting them from the nonexistent heat of the sun.

Jiang Mian instantly held Wang Rou’s hands, squeezing them, sending some comfort to her pretended mother. "It’s okay mother. It’s not a problem... I understand." she smiled at her. "How about we order something?"

"Sure." Wang Ruo said meekly, as she stared at Jiang Mian’s necklace. "You have a beautiful necklace."

"Thank you, someone, gave this to me as a present after I finished filming my first movie." She answered, stroking the necklace, hanging just below her collarbone. It was not just a necklace, it contained a camera that would secretly record Wang Ruo’s last moments, including this lunch with her. Jiang Mian was planning to send the record to Jiang Yue, to let her know, to hurt her.

"That’s great!" Wang Ruo responded before starting looking at the menu.

"It will take some time to cook the orders, so I have ordered your favorite ahead of time."

"Oh..." Wang Ruo nodded. "Thank you."

After a few more minutes, the duo made their order and continued talking about random things. They enjoyed the view and laughed at Jiang Mian’s silly jokes.

"This is really good." Wang Ruo said, as she took a piece of the turkey dish on her plate. "Wow. I believe you. This restaurant is indeed my favorite."

"You should try this wine. This is also your favorite." Jiang Mian said, pouring some wine in Wang Ruo’s glass.

The latter just smiled and took a small sip of the wine. "This wine is also good. Come drink with me."

"Mother, I don’t drink any alcohol. You already know that."

"You don’t? How about this turkey? Come on child, don’t be shy. Your mother will feed you." Wang Ruo smiled, her eyes crescent.

"No... I’m fine. I really don’t drink alcohol, and I hate turkey since I was a child. It’s okay if you dont remember. I understand." Of course Jiang Mian would say ’NO’. The turkey was laced with poison, as well as the wine.

Wang Ruo just gave her a beautiful smile, "Really... So you don’t drink alcohol huh...Is that the reason you have chosen to poison the wine?" she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Jiang Mian instantly widened her eyes. Did she know?

"Don’t bother saying anything. You can’t... I have already sealed your acupoints." Again, Wang Ruo smiled at her like a loving mother.

Jiang Mian shivered, as she looked at Wang Ruo. She did not even notice the moment that Wang Ruo touched her. How could she seal her acupoints without physical contact?

Seeing her confused look, Wang Ruo explained. "I did touch you, but you were so slow to notice. Everyone is too slow to notice. Look, no one is even aware that something strange is happening," her voice was still soft and gentle, as if she was not talking about something menacing.

Jiang Mian looked at the beautiful Wang Ruo in front of her... She was so beautiful, so happy, yet her eyes screamed about something dark, something sinister.

"Tsk... Tsk.. Attempting to poison me was the wrong move child. This trick does not work on me..." Wang Ruo took another sip of the wine. "Too bad, I enjoyed playing with you... Now, however, I will have to kill you."

Then, Wang Ruo dramatically shook her head. "What a waste."
