Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Hands on Hips

“Don’t drink!”

Ye Xian yelled and dashed toward the clubhouse.

The waiter, startled by her voice, dropped the tray and bolted out of the clubhouse.

Each pavilion at Wind Pond had bodyguards stationed outside, realizing something was awry, a group of bodyguards quickly pounced on the escaping waiter to apprehend him.

Krista’s hand holding the coffee shook slightly, clearly frightened, “What’s the matter?”

Ye Xian, running so fast she nearly couldn’t stop at their table, lurched forward due to momentum, and Bo Tingshen quickly grasped her waist to steady her.

“Your cup of coffee has had an unknown powder added to it!”

“What?” Krista immediately set down the coffee, her face a mix of shock and fear, “Was it drugged?”

“I don’t know what’s in there.”

“Did you see it with your own eyes?”

Bo Tingshen asked her, and Ye Xian nodded affirmatively, “Mhm.”

The Wind Pond bodyguards soon brought the runaway waiter before them.

This waiter was unfamiliar to Krista, and she did not recognize him at all, “Who are you? Why would you drug me?”

The waiter worked at Wind Pond, but clearly, he was under someone else’s instructions, having taken a bribe. He kept his head down and said nothing.

Bo Tingshen: “Make him drink this cup of coffee.”

Ye Xian: “!” That harsh?

Krista was also visibly shocked.

“Yes.”

Without a word, the bodyguard pried open the waiter’s jaw and reached for the coffee in front of Krista to pour it into his mouth.

The Bo Family was a top financial powerhouse in the Imperial Capital, and Bo Tingshen’s power and brutal decisiveness were well known; where others might jest, he certainly did not. If he wanted to take care of someone, they could disappear without a trace.

The coffee reached his lips, and the waiter struggled frantically in fear, refusing it.

Krista: “Speak up now, or no one can save you!”

“I’ll speak! I’ll speak!”

A drop of coffee had already entered his mouth, and the waiter begged for mercy out of fear, “It was Mr. Gavin who had me do it, I don’t know exactly what kind it is, but here is the bag with the drug powder.”

He pulled out the bag of drug powder, and Krista took it, suddenly turning pale, “OH My God?!”

It was a kind of medicine that could trigger her asthma, and such a large dose could take her life!

She thought that when her uncle spoke of fair competition, it was just that, and at the very least, he was her own uncle who wouldn’t take her life.

Her thinking was too naive!

Krista was so angry she trembled.

Bo Tingshen signaled to the bodyguard with his eyes, “Take him to the police station.”

“Yes!”

After the great sorrow and fury, what followed was an overwhelming sense of relief and joy.

Thankfully, the incident was discovered, thankfully nothing happened, all thanks to this dashing Chinese man!

Krista looked at Ye Xian with immense excitement, her gratitude inexpressible, and she pulled Ye Xian’s hand to place a deep kiss on the back of it, “I am extremely grateful to you, sir, you have saved my life.”

“It’s no big… ah~”

Ye Xian, still wondering how fierce and dangerous the struggle within a wealthy British family could be, suddenly felt a strong pinch on her waist.

She couldn’t help but yelp from the ticklish sensation.

Looking up, she saw Bo Tingshen eying her icily, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime, “…” No way, sir, hadn’t she just performed a great service?
