111: The reeling-in process was so relaxing.
The atmosphere in the Captains Quarters was strange.
Captain Wei Yang and several high-ranking fleet officers stood directly opposite the door, their expressions serious.
Sisters Peng Yining and Peng Yilu sat on chairs in the corner on the right, still wearing their clothes from last night, looking quite miserable.
On the left, Kong Jiamu leaned against the wall, cold and arrogant, with his arms crossed over his chest.
When Tu Nan and Lance pushed the door open and entered, everyone's gaze immediately focused on her.
Except for that peacock...
He didn't cast a single glance toward the door, appearing completely indifferent to who had arrived.
If not for the slight movement of his hair letting Tu Nan know he was preparing to turn around but was stubbornly holding himself back, Tu Nan would have been truly worried about the difficulty of coaxing him later.
But now... Tu Nan suddenly felt relieved.
"What is going on? It's so late." Tu Nan frowned, walked two steps toward Kong Jiamu, steadied herself by holding the back of a chair near him, and asked Wei Yang.
"...Whatever drugging incident you want to investigate, go ahead and investigate it. Why does this involve me?"
She sighed softly, as if she couldn't stand very steadily, and the hand holding the chair back trembled slightly.
Kong Jiamu swept a glance over her twice out of the corner of his eye, and on the third time, he finally couldn't help it. He dragged the chair back a bit and spoke coldly.
"Sit down." After saying this, he turned his head away, as if he didn't care about Tu Nan at all.
Lance's eyes darted around, and he quickly stepped forward to straighten the chair.
He helped Tu Nan sit down and teased with a grin.
"Oh my, Pearl, sit down quickly. Look at you, you can't even stand properly."
Lance's words made the faces of everyone present turn all sorts of colors, and the two Pig Clan sisters were so angry their eyeballs were about to pop out!
Look at those marks exposed on Tu Nan's neck. Peng Yilu was filled with hatred!
How could she not hate the Female Beast in front of her? They had gone to such great lengths and humiliated themselves so thoroughly, only for someone else to reap the rewards?
"It has nothing to do with us! I've said it many times; we just saw Colonel Kong was uncomfortable and wanted to help him into his room." Peng Yilu screamed!
She hadn't managed to get Kong Jiamu, so did she have to lose her reputation for nothing too?
Kong Jiamu let out a cold snort.
"What, you just happened to appear in an empty hallway when I was drugged, and instead of calling a doctor when you saw something was wrong with me, you just busied yourselves groping me?" He spoke with a sharp tone.
What? Did they really think he was stupid?
Wei Yang felt very tired. Now that everyone was here, he could finally lay everything out.
"Everyone, let me show you something first." With a wave of his hand, his subordinate turned on the screen on the wall, showing a terrified person sitting in an exceptionally bright small room.
The faces of the two sisters changed drastically.
That was the bartender who had helped them drug Colonel Kong.
He looked up, stumbling over his words, and confessed to the dirty work he had done to the screen.
"It was the guests, Peng Yining and her sister found me and asked me to add the potion to Colonel Kong's glass. They promised to give me 300,000 currency and said they would transfer it once we got off the ship."
"Slander... this is slander..." Peng Yilu shook her head, refusing to admit it.
Her sister suddenly interrupted calmly: "Can you just find anyone to throw mud at us?"
Wei Yang signaled to switch to another video, which showed the two sisters handing the potion to the crew member in the stairwell. Judging by the angle, it was secretly filmed by the crew member. It even included audio.
The two sisters turned deathly pale.
It's over... her future.
It was indeed a bit difficult. In fact, they had already interrogated the crew member and internally believed his testimony, and the two sisters had sufficient motive... but indeed, there was no concrete evidence.
Otherwise... her future would be over.
Peng Yining only felt the world go black. Thinking that after they got off the ship, everyone would know about this, regardless of whether the engagement was called off or not, her fate would be very miserable.
Her gaze unfocused, but she suddenly saw the Pharmacist, Lance, standing behind Tu Nan, looking unconcerned.
She jumped up, suddenly exploding. Pointing at Lance and Tu Nan sitting beside him, she yelled. "It was this Male Beast who gave me the medicine!"
"It's you... you know each other! It must be you who designed this to frame us!" She looked at Tu Nan, gritting her teeth.
Peng Yining finally understood the reason why she had inexplicably insisted that this Female Beast be present earlier.
It turned out this wasn't just an intuition.
It was very simple. Her mother had told her that if you couldn't find the plotter of a conspiracy, the one who benefited was the most suspicious.
Tu Nan, without a doubt, was the beneficiary this time! Look at her arrogant face.
Moreover, now, she had to make a big scene, or find a scapegoat. It would be best to make herself look like an innocent bystander to win public sympathy.
At the very least, she had to muddy the waters!
Tu Nan was even a bit surprised by her sharpness.
Of course, regardless of whether Peng Yining relied on intuition or deduction, Tu Nan certainly could not admit to this charge.
She pretended to be surprised, widened her eyes, scanned everyone present, and then asked with an innocent face.
"Me?"
She called out to the person whose gaze kept drifting around. "Colonel Kong~?"
Kong Jiamu, failing to control himself, immediately turned around, but immediately turned back again, not wanting to pay attention to her.
Tu Nan would not let him escape. She revealed an ambiguous and moist smile, her tone carrying a hint of seductive huskiness.
"That would have to be asked of Colonel Kong. Does he think that between the two of us, we would need to use that kind of thing? Hmm~"
The smile on Kong Jiamu's face stiffened before it could fully appear.
This... damn Female Beast!
What did she mean?
In front of so many people, was she making him admit that it was easy for her to sleep with him, and she didn't need to use such methods at all?
Then what did she mean by using him and then tossing him aside?
What was most hateful was that Wei Yang and those high-ranking fleet officers seemed to be instantly convinced.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Tu Nan didn't get a response from Kong Jiamu, but that was enough.
Stroking her neck, specifically letting those marks show more clearly, she reminded the two sisters with a tone of Yin and Yang.
"Just making false accusations because of jealousy? This is really boring."
Peng Yining was choked by her words, but she immediately burned her bridges and continued to expose, "Then what about Lance! What does he have to say, the medicine was given to me by him."
Lance was very innocent.
"This isn't some forbidden drug... as long as it's consensual, didn't you say when you bought it that you wanted to add a little happiness for yourselves?" He shook his head, speechless. "How was I supposed to know you two Female Beasts were so bold!"
He clicked his tongue in wonder, "I even reminded you when I saw someone was going to drug you, and yet now you're biting me back?"
Captain Wei Yang was about to lose it, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is this about now?"
Lance covered his mouth, refusing: "Nothing, they were just thinking about it, not actually implementing it. This doesn't count, don't force me to betray guest privacy. A Pharmacist must keep guest secrets."
This was really over now... Peng Yining still wouldn't give up, muttering in her mouth: "What reminder... I don't know."
Lance sighed very exaggeratedly, looking at Wei Yang helplessly.
"I really didn't expect it, why is it so hard to do a good deed." He thought for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Right, I borrowed paper and a pen at the bar to write the note, yeah, then I folded it, and when I ran into the two Young Misses in the hallway, I gave it to them." He pointed at the lit screen and asked Wei Yang.
"The surveillance in the public areas of the flight should be quite complete, there weren't many words on my note, it should be clear, right~"
Everyone looked at the expressions of those two sisters and knew that all of this was the truth.
Those two had completely collapsed, slumped in their chairs, and started crying.
Seeing that this farce had come to an end, Tu Nan snorted coldly and stood up.
She left a sentence coldly toward the air.
"Alright, I'm leaving first. It's really boring, isn't it."
Glancing at the peacock still leaning against the wall, Tu Nan pushed the door open and left angrily.
Lance whistled, looked at Kong Jiamu who was already standing straight, and said pointedly: "Sigh... what a scum man."
She was referring to Kong Jiamu's distant attitude during this "interrogation."
Wei Yang couldn't help but say a word to the Young Master.
"Go coax her, it's only been one night..." To be inseparable the day before and then turn hostile after getting what he wanted was too ugly.
Kong Jiamu was furious.
No, who was the one turning hostile? Huh?
