Han Muzi closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Even though she was calm enough, there was still no trace of blood in her face at this moment. After a while, she opened her eyes again and said coldly, “Call the police.”
When they opened the box, they found nothing but a dead rabbit in there. However, it was not an ordinary dead rabbit. The rabbit’s death was extremely tragic and cruel. Two pieces of wood were stuck in its eyes, and its ears were cut off. It was a bloody and gory scene. As for the rest… Han Muzi couldn’t bear to remember it anymore. No matter what, its death was extremely terrifying. Both of them couldn’t handle such a bloody scene, especially Yan.
Since she was scared, her legs were wobbly, and so she could not move an inch as she sat on the ground.
After Han Muzi told her to call the police, she almost sobbed out loud. “I-I can’t stand up.”
Han Muzi didn’t know what to say to that. She pursed her pale lips and stepped forward to help Yan before stretching out her hand to cover the box. Then, she helped Yan up to sit on the couch.
“I-I-I…” Yan raised her head and looked at Han Muzi, stuttering. “It scared me to death! M-Muzi.”
Han Muzi had taken out her phone and calmly called the manager of the management office of their neighborhood. “Is it the logistics office? I’m calling from unit 18XX of this neighborhood. I took a parcel from you just now when I came back, but something’s wrong with it. Please ask someone to come over to deal with it. Um… it’s a dead rabbit. Thank you, and please hurry.”
After hanging up, Yan looked at her in reverence. But she reacted quickly and asked aloud, “D-Didn’t you want to call the police? Why did you change your mind?”
Although she had already calmed herself down, her first thought at that moment was to call the police. After all, the death of this rabbit was too tragic. It was obvious that someone sent this to them deliberately, and it was not a coincidence. However, if they called the police because of a dead rabbit, there might be insufficient evidence to nab the culprit. Therefore, she finally chose to let the logistics office of their neighborhood solve this issue.
Han Muzi thought for a while. Instead of answering Yan’s question directly, she asked, “You bought some food ingredients online, right? What did you buy?”
Yan’s expression suddenly became sorrowful. “You aren’t suspecting me, are you? I don’t have the habit of eating rabbit meat, let alone asking the store to send me such a tragic rabbit.”
Han Muzi said, “Of course I’m not suspecting you.”
“I bought a steak marinated with a special sauce. Nothing but that. Are you saying that the seller is playing a prank on me by sending me a dead rabbit?” She had recovered from her shock, so she could speak quickly now. However, both of them still sat there looking as pale as a ghost.
“Do you have a grudge against the seller?”
Yan shook her head.
“Do they have a grudge against you?”
Yan shook her head vehemently again. “Definitely no. This is the first time I’ve dealt with them, and they’re quite a famous online seller.”
Han Muzi couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you understand my questions just now? Since you bore no grudges against each other, why do you suspect that the seller sent you a dead rabbit?”
At first, Yan was confused. However, she gradually returned to her senses, and then she widened her eyes. “Y-You mean someone deliberately put this rabbit in the parcel to scare us, and this person has some grudges against us!”
“Not bad. You’re not too stupid.”
“Muzi!”
“What?”
“How do you still have the mood to joke around? Do you know that I was so scared I almost peed myself? My God, it’s awful enough to see a dead rabbit, but there were wooden sticks inserted in—”
“Stop.” Han Muzi interrupted her while she was describing it. It brought back vivid memories of the dead rabbit. It was simply too cruel to kill it this way. Thinking about it, she even felt a little nauseous, so she could only sit there with her lips pressed firmly against each other.
A few staff from the logistics office came to their unit quickly. As Yan still couldn’t move, Han Muzi was the one who went to open the door.
After the staff from the logistics office looked at the parcel, the few burly men turned pale with fright upon seeing the bloody scene. Then, they all looked at Han Muzi, who was the owner of the house. “Miss Han, is this the parcel you just received?”
“It’s not a parcel that is delivered by a logistics company.” Han Muzi shook her head and looked at the box. “Someone probably sent it to the logistics office here disguised as a parcel from a logistics company.”
They nodded when they heard Han Muzi’s deduction. “Okay, Miss Han, we understand what you mean. We will deal with these immediately. We will get back to you after investigating this issue.”
Han Muzi’s expression was indifferent. “Thanks.”
They quickly packed the box and moved it away. After closing the door, Han Muzi started gasping while she leaned against the wall.
Yan still sat there looking at Han Muzi.
Han Muzi was silent for a moment before walking forward. “You don’t look too good. Go back and rest first. You don’t have to make dinner today. Let’s go out to eat or order takeout later.”
However, Yan said spookily, “What if the takeout is poisoned?”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing this.
Yan blinked. “I think we are being targeted.”
Han Muzi didn’t answer her. Instead, she walked wearily to the couch and sat down. Then, she poured herself a glass of cold water to suppress the emotions within her.
“Who have we offended recently? Who would be so immoral to do this kind of thing? Why do we keep encountering such…” Yan complained. All of a sudden, she stopped speaking and looked like she remembered something. Her eyes widened as she looked at Han Muzi. Her expression right now sent chills down Han Muzi’s spine.
“Just say what’s on your mind. Don’t look at me like this.” After what happened just now, Han Muzi was very fragile at this moment.
“Could it be Lin Qingqing? She wanted to hurt you before!”
Lin Qingqing? Han Muzi thought of how she came to her office with her mother to apologize to her before this. Her pale lips moved, but she did not say anything.
“Have you ever thought that she… might change her mind even though she promised that she wouldn’t harm you? Otherwise, after we returned to this country, we haven’t offended anyone. How could someone do such extreme actions at this moment?”
Han Muzi interrupted her. “Lin Qingqing is not the only person we have offended.”
Seeing Yan staring at her, Han Muzi said expressionlessly, “Have you forgotten what happened at the company before?”
“Oh, right. Do you reckon it’s Zhao Yiru then? Damn, do you think that b*tch wants to take revenge on us after suffering that humiliation?”
Han Muzi pursed her lips and thought about it, but she couldn’t think of any valid reason. Her mind was still in a mess.
Han Muzi had felt Lin Qingqing’s sincerity when she apologized at that time, but there was no guarantee that she would not change her mind. After all, she also said that she wanted a fair competition with Han Muzi for Ye Moxuan. Moreover, Lin Qingqing said that she would not hurt her—not that she would not threaten her.
Or maybe it was Zhao Yiru that had a grudge against her. It might be possible that she looked up Han Muzi’s address and sent her a dead rabbit.
Han Muzi felt an aching pain in her temples, so she reached out to massage them as she felt a headache setting in. Who the hell is it?
