Chapter 1221: Beating Her at Her Own Game Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Eh!" Mu Xiaoxiao retracted her hand. How could she let her s.n.a.t.c.h it?
"Now, you have two choices. Either I upload this video onto the Internet so that everyone can see, including the people from this hospital, or you do me a favor."
The nurse pleaded with her, "I beg you. Let her off, okay? I really can"t help you. I… I"m just a n.o.body. I can"t do anything."
Mu Xiaoxiao tutted, and she said, annoyed, "I haven"t said what I need your help with, but you keep saying that you can"t help. You just don"t want to help me!"
"No…" The nurse shook her head.
As though she had gotten her way, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Good. So you"ll help me then."
"No, no!" The nurse refused again.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. Feigning anger, she said bossily, "I don"t care whether you like it or not. Do you want me to upload this video online or do you want to help me? I"ll give you five seconds. Five, four, three… Okay, I"ll help you choose the second option!"
The nurse looked like she was about to cry, but she was helpless as she asked timidly, "W-what do you want me to do then?"
"First, let me ask you about something." Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at her. "Which patient did thatgirl want you to drug?"
"The patient in room 619…" the nurse replied.
"What is the name of the patient?"
"It is…" The nurse furrowed her brows. "I forgot. The patient is a Chinese. I can"t remember the name."
"Is the name Lu Qianlan?" Mu Xiaoxiao used a different approach.
Upon hearing the name, the nurse nodded vigorously. "I think that"s it! I remember the surname being Lu."
Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered inside. Indeed, it was Auntie Lu!
d.a.m.n it. Just what kind of grudge did that girl have with Auntie Lu that she would actually want to poison her!
Thinking about the things that Auntie Lu had been through, Mu Xiaoxiao ached. Auntie Lu"s life was truly painful. She had to protect Auntie Lu.
The nurse seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Do you know this patient? I"m sorry! Sorry! Please don"t worry, I won"t…"
Mu Xiaoxiao"s gaze was cold as she interrupted her. "What I need you to do is simple. Follow the girl"s orders but forget that you ever saw me. Also, I"m confiscating this posion."
If the girl realized that the nurse didn"t obey her instructions, she might find another person to harm Auntie Lu instead.
So Xiaoxiao had to beat the poisoner at her own game. She would make the nurse pretend to follow her instructions. This way, at least Auntie Lu would be safe.
The nurse heaved a breath of relief and nodded vigorously. "I understand. I"ll do as you say!"
Mu Xiaoxiao pointed two fingers at her own eyes and then pointed them at the nurse"s eyes in a coercive manner. "I"ll be watching you."
"Okay." The nurse nodded. "I never wanted to hurt the patient. I really didn"t want to. She forced me to…"
"Very good. You can go now." Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that if the nurse went missing for too long, the girl would grow suspicious.
