Chapter 920: If You Don’t Go Now, There Will Be No More Chances

Qin Yu not only had mineral water but also other drinks. She liked to drink mineral water and Hou Fen and Mo Shan liked to drink juice. So basically, all the mineral water they brought was actually only for Qin Yu. Sometimes, Liang Jiahao would also drink Qin Yu’s mineral water. But it was only a sip or two.         

That was why Li Lingxin came up with the idea of buying the same brand of mineral water as Qin Yu. Then she opened the lid and drank half of the water before pouring in the stuff Shen Xieren had given her. She shook the bottle before closing the lid again. This way, Qin Yu and the others would not notice anything unusual about the water.     

The assistant’s heart was at the top of her throat. She asked in fear, “I … should I go?”     

Li Lingxin forcefully stuffed the mineral water into the assistant’s hand. Seeing that the assistant was so scared that she wanted to throw the bottle away, Li Lingxin quickly grabbed the assistant’s hand and pulled her aside. She said softly, “This is our only chance. If you don’t go now, there will be no more chances!”     

The assistant felt guilty. Her dislike for Qin Yu was just for words. In truth, she was very afraid of her in her heart.     

In her heart, she knew her own value.     

To Qin Yu, she was just a little fly that would die with a single clap.     

Furthermore… The main benefiter was not her, but Li Lingxin.     

Wasn’t that tantamount to seeking her own death?     

Li Lingxin saw that the assistant’s face was pale with fear and her hand holding the mineral water was trembling. Immediately she said, “Don’t be afraid. You are doing this for me, and I will not treat you unfairly! In the future, in addition to your salary, I will give you dividends. As long as I replace Qin Yu and make it to the international stage, in the future, whether it’s shooting commercials or movies, I’ll give you 10% of the dividends.”     

The temptation was too good for the assistant. Not to mention that if Li Lingxin managed to rise to the first-tier of celebrity, even if she was in the second, her endorsement fee, as well as her earnings for TV series and movies, were not small.     

Even if it was not as good as the salary of a first-tier celebrity, for an ordinary person like her, that money was a lot.     

As the saying goes, people died for money and birds died for food. The assistant’s heart immediately calmed down.     

“Really?” The assistant turned around and looked at Li Lingxin.     

“Really!” Li Lingxin patted the assistant vigorously on the shoulder. “You and I have been together for two years. Don’t you know me the best? I will definitely do as I say. Don’t worry.”     

“All right!” The assistant was getting bolder. As long as she had the money, there was nothing she could not do.     

Besides, their plan was perfect. Even if Qin Yu got into trouble and this matter was investigated, they would not be able to find out anything.     

“Then I’ll go.” The assistant shook her shoulders and regained her courage. She looked around and found a magazine to put the mineral water in.     

Li Lingxin stood at the side and watched. Although she was nervous, she didn’t say anything.     

The assistant acted as if nothing had happened and walked towards Qin Yu’s resting tent. Coincidentally, Fan Xiaobo’s resting tent was right next to her. He and Arthur were enjoying their meal. Arthur lifted the lid of the pot and sniffed the fragrance. Immediately, saliva flowed out. “It smells so good.”     

“What did I say? It smells good, doesn’t it?” Fan Xiaobo smiled and handed Arthur a pair of chopsticks. “Come on, let’s eat.”     

Arthur was a Westerner. He did not need chopsticks at all. To him, chopsticks were like two sticks. He could not take the food no matter how hard he tried.     

He got up and was going back to his tent to get the fork. Suddenly his eyes fell on the assistant who was walking past him.     

His eyes narrowed slightly. As if he had noticed something, a playful smile crossed his face.     

Li Lingxin noticed that Artur was staring at her assistant without blinking. She really wanted to call her assistant, but at this moment, the arrow was already on the string and she had to let it go. Besides, if she called her assistant now, things would go bad.     

If she wanted to attack and overtake Qin Yu in the future, she would not stand a chance.         

Li Lingxin had also thought of a way out for herself if this plan went wrong. She would pretend not to know anything about it. If something happened, she would blame all the mistakes on her assistant.     

After thinking about it, Li Lingxin went back to her resting tent. Even if they found out that she was the proprietor, they still had no evidence that it was her.     

Because of her nervousness, the assistant did not notice Arthur was staring at her from behind. She did not even know how sneaky her actions looked.     

When she entered Qin Yu’s resting tent, she suddenly looked left and right. Mo Shan was still talking on the phone with her back to the assistant. Qin Yu and the others were still not back.     

The assistant quickly took the mineral water she had hidden in the magazine and mixed it with the mineral water bottles Qin Yu had. Then, she pretended to walk a few steps as if nothing had happened. After leaving the tent, she immediately ran away. Obviously, she was guilty.     

Arthur looked at her and smiled. He said nothing and went to his own tent to get a fork.     

Soon after, Qin Yu, Liang Jiahao, and Hou Fen returned. The three of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the set.     

Qin Yu stuck out her tongue as if it had been burned. “The hot pot is very spicy. I want to drink some water.”     

Hou Fen casually picked up a bottle of mineral water. Just as she was about to unscrew the cap and hand it to Qin Yu, Mo Shan also returned.     

Mo Shan saw the mineral water bottle on the ground and said to Hou Fen, “Isn’t there mineral water that has been opened?”     

“Is there?” Hou Fen followed Mo Shan’s gaze and indeed saw a mineral water bottle that was only half full. She bit her lip and said uncertainly, “I remembered that Qin Yu had finished drinking most of them and went out with her to throw away the empty bottles.”     

“I think you remembered wrong.” Qin Yu smiled and reached for the bottle. She had just opened the lid when Arthur rushed over in alarm. “Your hotpot is very spicy! Do you have anything to drink?”
