The CEO's Woman

Chapter 187 - Poisoned

"This doesn't make any sense." Jennie said as she paced inside her grandfather's study. "Not at all."

"I know!" Wang Mino said before he started pacing around like Jennie.

"Stop pacing! What are you doing following me like a child?" Jennie said.

"Hey... I always pace when I am thinking." Wang Mino defended himself, earning an eye roll from Jennie.

Jennie let out a sigh of relief before sitting next to Lisa.. »At least we are all safe," she said. Their safety was the most important thing right now. "Did you call Uncle and Grandfather?"

"Yes I did. Father is on his way here, as well as Grandfather." Wang Mino said.

Jennie directed her question to Lisa. "What do you think?" She wanted to know whose plan it was to trap them.

"I think it was my uncle." he started. "If I fell into his trap tonight then there would have been no marriage between the two of us. However, I don't think my uncle is that smart."

Jennie nodded before reading something on her laptop. « Manoban Honglie graduated as a top student. A kickboxing expert, and has a black belt in karate. Currently, he is the manager of Manoban Conglomerate's chain of oil companies in our country. Pretty impressive. I wonder why he didn't challenge your father when he got the title?"

"My father is way better than him. They are not of the same league." Lisa answered.

"So they are underestimating you. How about your cousin?" Wang Mino asked.

« Manoban Zouyi... twenty-eight. Just like his father, he also graduated as a top student. An expert in Judo, kickboxing, and karate. Hobbies include shooting, mountain climbing, surfing, reading, and writing. Won a domestic literary award twice, won a shooting competition abroad, and is currently a biochemist at one of our country's universities. Single and available." Jennie read from her laptop.

"Impressive." Wang Mino said.

"But he is not as handsome as my Lis hehehe." Jennie laughed before turning her head towardslisa. "Wait... how come I can't see anything related to you?"

"My information is hidden." Lisa answered.

"Why hide it?" Jennie inquired.

"My mother insisted on doing so." He shrugged.

"Hmmm... give me a minute." Jennie said before turning her focus towards her laptop.

Nothing could be deleted nor entirely hidden in the virtual world.

However, she believed that if something was hidden then it ought to be found.

She typed in a lot of codes, beaming when she finally found what she was looking for.

« Manoban Lisa twenty-three. Graduated as a top student. An expert in shooting, mixed martial arts, Aikido, and kickboxing. An International Martial Arts champion for three years when he was still in his teens. Was awarded the Business Person award both domestically and internationally at the age of eighteen for managing his own company. One of the youngest multi-millionaires in the business world. Missing achievement... Missing achievement. Single and available. Hmmm... Maybe we should update this information soon." Jennie said.

"I'd say that you are more impressive than your cousin, but why would your mother hide this information from the press?" Wang Mino asked.

"Someone tried to poison me when I was still in my teens. After that my mother decided that we should hide all of my achievements. She also made sure to hide the attempted poisoning from everyone." Lisa explained, his eyes darker than usual.

Jennie fell into silence after she heard Lisa's explanation. She remembered that although the Young Master Manoban in her previous life was a sickly kid, she had never heard anything about him being poisoned.

She stared at him. Lisa right now was as healthy as a horse, unlike Lisa in her past life.

Was it possible that he had been able to avoid the poisoning because he knew ahead of time that it would happen? If so... did that mean that he had also reincarnated just like her?

Lisa just smiled at Jennie when he noticed the latter staring at him.

"Do you know who was behind the poisoning?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. Someone had tried to harm her man. This was not something that she could ignore.

"No. Mother and Father were not able to find the culprit." Lisa answered, his gaze still unfathomable. In his previous lifetime, he had died not knowing who poisoned him. But he would not let that happen in this lifetime. Not when he finally had the girl that he dreamed of.

"Are they still looking for the culprit?" She asked.

Lisa nodded. Not just them... even he was still looking. He had even investigated his uncle and his father's family members multiple times but was unable to get anything from them.

Jennie frowned when she heard Lisa's answer. How come it was taking them so long to find the one who had attempted to poison him? Was it possible for the culprit to not leave any trail?
