Chapter 1175
A cold glint appeared in Melody Fox’s eyes.
This was because Melody Fox could clearly see that Kua Rangliu was not patting Ken Swanson’s shoulder. Instead, he used this action to place a Gu worm into Ken Swanson’s collar.
Just as Melody Fox was about to lunge at Liu Fei, Melody Fox suddenly realized that something was wrong.
‘No, that’s not right.’
No matter how bold Kuang Rangliu was, it was impossible for her to attack Ken Swanson so brazenly.
Many people knew that they were there because Li Ming had invited Ken Swanson from the Insterimondth branch.
If something happened to Ken Swanson at this dinner, Li Ming and Kuang Rangliu would not be able to escape suspicion. Ramon Swanson would definitely not cover up this matter casually.
Therefore, this might be a trap!
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Melody Fox’s mind.
However, in the end, she chose not to do anything and pretended not to know anything. She sat calmly on the spot and read coffee.
“These coffee leaves are not bad. Where did they come from?”
Kua Rangliu looked up at Melody Fox with the same kind and gentle smile on her face.
However, deep down, Melody Fox knew that she was right.
This was really a trap!
Kua Rangliu introduced, “This is the coffee leaves from the Yellow Mountain. It’s taken from the Peach Blossom Peak, which is 800 meters above sea level. We specially brought it over. If you like it, I’ll send some back to you another day?”
“Really?” Melody Fox’s eyes were sparkling as he said gratefully,
“Then I’ll thank Auntie first.”
“Child, don’t stand on ceremony with Aunt. I’ll send you more so that everyone in the family can try it.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Alright, the dishes seem to be almost ready. Come and eat.”
Kua Rangliu pulled out a seat and politely allowed Melody Fox to sit.
Melody Fox smiled and said, “I drank too much coffee just now. You guys eat first. I’ll go to the washroom.”
“Okay, go ahead. The bathroom is on the right-hand side of the door.”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox smiled. He walked to the door and gently closed it. The smile on her face immediately disappeared.
Praising Rangliu had to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible.
Melody Fox turned around and walked towards the rockery.
The waiter was already waiting there.
Seeing her coming over, the waiter immediately lowered her voice and said, “Miss, I asked for you.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“They didn’t buy this fake mountain. A friend of our boss gave it to them. That friend specializes in selling this kind of fake mountain. Since that friend of the boss opened a card in the shop, I found the phone number according to the card number.”
As the waiter spoke, he handed over a slip of paper with his phone number written on it.
“Thank you. You’ve been a great help.”
The waiter nodded and said, “However, it’s better for you to discuss with your husband about buying something as big as a rockery. It’s said that once the person who sells the rockery sells it, he won’t return it.”
“Alright, I understand. Thank you for reminding me.”
Melody Fox’s smile showed no signs of pretense.
The waiter waved her hand and said, “It’s what I should do.” Then, she left to do her work.
Melody Fox stared at the string of numbers on the note and casually handed it to Spencer.
“Investigate all information about this person. Focus on whether he has any contact with Li Ming’s family. I want to know as soon as possible. Go and investigate now.”
“Yes.”
Spencer responded and quickly went to do it.
By the time Melody Fox returned to the dining table, the dishes had already been served.
Melody Fox naturally did not have much of an appetite. After symbolically taking two bites, Ken Swanson sensed that Melody Fox had something on her mind and quickly put down a fork.
Seeing this, Li Ming asked, “Why did you put down a fork? Is the food not to your liking?”
Ken Swanson’s attitude was cold as usual. “We still have to catch a plane later. We have to leave now.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle and Aunt. The food is delicious. If you come to Insterimond in the future, I will definitely come again. It’s just that today is indeed an unlucky day, so we can only take our leave first.”
Li Ming revealed a reluctant expression.
“I see… There’s nothing we can do about catching the plane. But it doesn’t matter. When we move to Silverlake, there will be plenty of time for us to eat together.”
Kua Rangliu also said, “Alright, alright. Then I won’t delay your flight. Hurry up and go. Don’t miss your flight or it will delay things even more.”
“Then we’ll take our leave.”
Melody Fox nodded slightly and left the room with Ken Swanson.
After the car left the restaurant, Ken Swanson immediately asked, “What happened? Where are the Spencer people?”
Melody Fox did not answer. Instead, he instructed Aaron Berg.
“Aaron Berg, slow down and drive steadily.”
Although Aaron Berg did not know why, he did not suspect anything and did as Melody Fox said.
When the car slowed down, Melody Fox immediately ordered Ken Swanson, “Take off your clothes!”
Ken Swanson’s body froze. He subconsciously looked at Aaron Berg on the driver’s license.
Aaron Berg wished he could close his eyes, but he was still driving.
Just as Aaron Berg was considering whether to raise the partition in the car, Melody Fox realized that Ken Swanson had misunderstood.
She hurriedly said, “What are you thinking about?! I saw Kua Rangliu throw something into your clothes. Let me check.”
As soon as he said this, Aaron Berg immediately relaxed, but then he felt even more nervous.
“Miss Fox, will Sir be in danger? Shall I pull over first?”
“No need. Continue to drive at an average speed. If they follow us and keep an eye on us, they will notice something.”
“Yes…”
As for Ken Swanson, he had already quickly taken off his clothes.
Melody Fox searched for a while and finally found the shell of an insect inside the collar of the shirt.
The outer shell was very complete and had dried out.
At first glance, it looked like a Gu worm.
Melody Fox examined it and confirmed that it was only a shell and that it was not contaminated with any voodoo.
After confirming that there were no other traces on Ken Swanson’s body, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
Her guess was confirmed.
It was indeed a trap.
It was a trap that Liu Rongliu used to test her strength.
Similarly, Melody Fox felt a chill down her spine.
Praising Rangliu was indeed extraordinary.
With Li Ming’s right-hand man by his side, he might not be as easy to
deal with as Ken Swanson had thought.
Similarly, Melody Fox was also wondering why she did not notice Kuarang Liu’s existence in her previous life.
She quickly came to a conclusion.
Kuarang Liu definitely did not appear in this life. She was sure that she had returned to the previous life of the past and not entered another parallel space.
Therefore, a person’s existence would not appear out of thin air.
It could only be that Ulric Swanson had been hiding the existence of her praise for Rangliu.
Perhaps her death back then was also because of Liu’s praise.
Even though she knew that Ulric Swanson did not love her, she did not hate her that much. She did not hate her to the extent that she wanted to kill her.
