My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 794 Counterattack 1
Just then, others also rushed forward, wanting to snatch the small vial from Ye Shen’s hand.
Ye Shen gave a cynical smile and threw the vial to the ground. "Everyone, no need to panic," he said. "I was just kidding. This isn’t some fertility-ending drug; it’s just a bottle of Truth Serum I filched from my sister-in-law’s medicine cabinet."
The surrounding crowd was taken aback. "Truth Serum?"
Ye Shen waved his hand. "Don’t believe me? See for yourselves. It’s written right there on the bottle."
Someone picked up the vial from the ground.
Sure enough, a label on the vial read: Strong Truth Serum.
Ye Shen reminded them again, "Don’t touch it. Be careful not to get any on yourselves. This Truth Serum is extremely potent."
Bai Qiuyuan, who was holding the vial, quickly threw it back to the ground and hastily wiped his hands.
Geshu Xiang, whose face had been splashed with the liquid and who now felt a little dizzy, turned deathly pale. "H-how potent is it?" she stammered.
Ye Shen said, "The moment you touch it, you’ll uncontrollably speak the truth. You’ll have to answer any question asked."
Geshu Xiang’s heart leaped into her throat. Terrified, she quickly turned towards the stage exit, desperate to leave.
Her face had just been splashed, and she was feeling dizzy. It must be the Truth Serum taking effect! She couldn’t stay here any longer, or she wasn’t sure what she might blurt out.
But before she could get off the stage, Si Mingjing stepped up and blocked her path.
A faint, cold smirk touched Si Mingjing’s lips.
"Miss Geshu, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Geshu Xiang feigned composure. "My... my makeup is ruined. I need to go to the restroom to fix it."
Geshu Xiang was always beautiful and dignified, never allowing herself to lose composure in public. Her request to freshen up seemed reasonable, so no one suspected a thing. However, Si Mingjing stood on the steps, an impassable barrier.
"Is Miss Geshu sure it’s because your makeup is ruined, and not because you have a guilty conscience and are afraid the Truth Serum is taking effect?"
Geshu Xiang frowned, her expression shifting. "What do you mean by that?"
"Miss Geshu, you probably know better than I do what I mean. You provided Miss Chen with the diet drug formula that caused Ye Siyuan and Tangtang to become infertile. Doesn’t your conscience bother you, Miss Geshu?"
Geshu Xiang yelled furiously, "Nonsense!"
"Whether or not it’s nonsense, we’ll find out if Miss Geshu just waits here calmly for a few minutes."
Si Mingjing said deliberately, "Miss Geshu was just exposed to the potion I prepared. This particular Truth Serum takes a few minutes to kick in. I’d say... hmm, about three more minutes."
Geshu Xiang, terrified out of her wits, desperately scanned the crowd for her family and spotted Geshu Tang.
Before Geshu Tang could come over, he was blocked by Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing.
Si Mingjing grabbed Geshu Xiang’s wrist, pulling her to the center of the stage.
Many guests were present. Though unaware of what exactly had happened, they sensed a dramatic scene was about to unfold and patiently returned to their seats to watch.
Ye Shen’s expression hardened. He stepped up to the microphone, snapped his fingers, and announced, "Everyone, and to all citizens watching the live stream, I have found out who tried to harm my second sister and my darling wife. This is the evidence I’ve gathered."
Ye Shen activated his ring phone, projecting a holographic screen and enlarging it to two hundred inches for everyone in the banquet hall to see clearly. He also posted the evidence on his social media so the public could see it plainly.
When the guests in the State Banquet Hall saw the evidence, the room erupted into an uproar.
People discussed among themselves:
"The one who gave Miss Chen the diet drug formula... it was actually Miss Geshu?"
"And Miss Geshu colluded with the S Country’s royal family, saying she’d help them deal with Song Tangtang?"
"Why did Miss Geshu do such a thing?"
Ye Shen stood on stage, suppressing his immense fury. He glared at the flustered Geshu Xiang, her scheme now exposed, and asked again, "Geshu Xiang, why did you do this?"
"I, I..."
Geshu Xiang’s head was spinning; she was terrified. The Truth Serum must be working, she thought, as her limbs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Completely disoriented, her neck flushed an unnatural red as she desperately pleaded with her family below the stage to save her.
Those below were also anxious, terrified she would blurt out the truth.
But in this situation, no one could go on stage to stop her.
Who could have imagined Mo Yinhe already had the evidence and was waiting to catch them all off guard tonight, using such a crude method as Truth Serum!
Yong Shifeng, who had been standing with Geshu Tang, quickly took two steps back, distancing himself.
Now that a member of the Geshu Family was exposed, Yong Shifeng wanted to extricate his own family from this affair!
Geshu Tang caught Yong Shifeng’s movement from the corner of his eye and seethed. Trying to dissociate himself now? Dream on!
On stage, Ye Shen sternly questioned Geshu Xiang, "What are you trying to say? That you didn’t give Miss Chen the diet drug? That you didn’t intend to harm my precious Tangtang and my second sister?"
"I... I did, of course I did!"
Her mind muddled, Geshu Xiang confessed in a trembling voice, "I wanted to make Song Tangtang infertile! And I wanted to make Ye Siyuan infertile too!"
At her words, everyone present glared at Geshu Xiang.
"She actually confessed! The Truth Serum must be working!"
"Heavens, she’s so vicious! Why would she do that?"
Ye Shen pressed on, "Why did you do it? What benefit is there for you in harming my second sister and Tangtang?"
"The benefits are huge, of course!" Geshu Xiang blurted out, holding nothing back. "If the Second Princess can’t have children, then all hope of producing a Mermaid falls to the Third Prince. If Song Tangtang also becomes infertile, the Third Prince will surely have to find someone else. That’s when I’ll marry the Third Prince..."
As she spoke, a dreamy, satisfied smile spread across Geshu Xiang’s face. The scene seemed to play out before her very eyes. She even imagined how adored by the public the little Mermaid she would give birth to would be.
Then, she would be the most revered woman in Atlantis!
Her words stunned the entire audience.
It dawned on everyone: this was a conspiracy targeting the Second Princess and the Third Prince’s consort!
Geshu Xiang had plotted against them, and it seemed they were doomed to fall into her trap.
No one had imagined she possessed such audacity, such cunning!
Ye Shen fought to control the urge to wring Geshu Xiang’s neck. His contempt was palpable as he sneered, "Hah! You, marry me? Who gave you the audacity to think I’d marry you? Or who was it that masterminded this for you, promising to push you to my side if you succeeded?"
Hearing Ye Shen’s relentless questioning, several people in the audience shifted uneasily in their seats, unable to sit still.
Geshu Tang’s face contorted in fury. "Geshu Xiang, shut your mouth!" he roared.
But Geshu Xiang was lost in her own euphoric world, and Geshu Tang’s roar had no effect on her whatsoever.
She declared, "My uncle guaranteed me he would ensure I marry you, making me the most esteemed woman in Atlantis!"
