Chapter 897: Are You Sure The Two Perfumes Are Not Mixed?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Tong Rao was taken aback by this news.

The trending topic was clearly linked to Gu Yang.

The top three hackers on the Dark Net List had always been elusive and powerful, so she wasn’t surprised they had refused the offer. However, she hadn’t anticipated that Gu Yang could enlist the help of a hacker ranked fifth!

Her daughter had certainly delivered many “surprises.”

“Send a message to the head of the Gu family. I want to know if the Gu family intends to become our enemies,” Tong Rao instructed sharply.

“Yes, Family Head.”

Leaning back in her chair, Tong Rao’s eyes darkened with cold determination.

Since she couldn’t directly counteract the trending topic, she would address the issue at its source. Gu Yang and the Gu family’s eldest branch had dared to provoke her, but she doubted the Gu family had the courage to stand against her.

At that moment, the butler burst into the study, his face anxious. “Family Head!”

Seeing the two bottles of perfume in the butler’s hands, Tong Rao asked, “Are the results of the examination in?”

The butler placed the perfume bottles on the table and handed her the examination results with both hands. He reported succinctly, “The bottle of perfume Miss Gu Yang sent has calming and sleep-inducing properties. The bottle from Miss Jiayin contains a chronic toxin that can cause mental disorders.”

“Family Head, you should go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Tong Rao quickly skimmed through the two reports, her gaze lingering on the appraisal results of the perfume from Tong Jiayin. Her eyes seemed to freeze, and her fingers clenched in disbelief.

“Are you certain the perfumes weren’t switched?”

“They are not mixed up.”

The butler had also found the results hard to believe. He had even arranged for additional tests at different institutions, but the results remained consistent.

“Good, good. What a ‘surprise’!” Tong Rao’s anger turned into a cold, mirthless laugh as she recalled Gu Yang’s earlier remarks. Her eyes were steely.

“Let’s put aside the issue with the Internet for now. Focus on thoroughly investigating this matter.”

With her eyes slightly reddened, Tong Rao closed them tightly, taking a deep breath to compose herself.

The butler sighed and said, “Family Head, Miss Jiayin has always respected and loved you. She must have been manipulated by someone with ulterior motives.”

Tong Rao sneered. “She’s not a child anymore.”

She rose from her seat, put on her coat, and headed out to the private hospital for a checkup.

The perfume Tong Jiayin had given her was a perfect match for Tong Rao’s taste in both brand and fragrance. She used it frequently and hadn’t noticed how her use of it had increased recently.

In addition to the chronic toxins, the perfume also had addictive properties. Her prolonged use had already begun to affect her mental state.

What she had initially thought were signs of anxiety and sleep deprivation were actually symptoms of the perfume’s effects. She hadn’t realized the problem lay with the perfume her daughter had given her.

In the detention center, the capital’s chill was palpable.

Tong Jiayin had been there for several days, her freedom entirely restricted and subjected to multiple interrogations.

Having been pampered all her life, Tong Jiayin found the closed and oppressive environment of the detention center nearly unbearable. Under intense professional interrogation, her psychological defenses crumbled, and she confessed quickly.

However, she only admitted to attempting to kidnap Gu Yang and maintained that she had no intention of killing anyone.

Unaware that the paternity test results had been exposed, she hoped to protect Gu Yang’s identity. She claimed that her motive was personal hatred and that she wanted to teach Gu Yang a lesson.

She underestimated the seriousness of her actions, believing that as long as she was still the Tong Family’s eldest daughter, the family would handle the situation internally. Given that Gu Yang was unharmed, she assumed the Gu family would choose to settle the matter privately.

Tong Jiayin was surprised and relieved to see Tong Rao in the interrogation room. “Mom, you’re here to take us home?”
