Chapter 2 The Second Roasted Brain
It was already early morning after the funeral.
Cheng Kai sent Xue Qi home. On the way, he looked at Xue Qi in the rearview mirror, thought for a while, and then said:
"Ms. Xue, my husband is dead, the company has closed down, and I'm going to work for another company. I can no longer help you with your life. You saw how Qin Tiantian treated you today. That girl is stubborn and refuses to acknowledge you as her stepmother. Even if she agrees to live with you, it will be a big trouble for you."
Xue Qi was originally a receptionist at Mr. Qin's company. Her parents wanted to sell her to a divorced man for a 300,000 yuan betrothal gift. Xue Qi disagreed, so her parents came to the company and cried, made a scene, and even threatened to commit suicide, making everyone in the company know about it.
Not long after, Mr. Qin and Xue Qi signed a contract marriage.
If Mr. Qin's company had not gone bankrupt, she would have inherited more than 30 million.
In Cheng Kai's impression, Xue Qi was a submissive person, even a little dull, not a very likable character. He couldn't make up his mind about even the smallest things and liked to ask for his and Mr. Qin's opinions.
Seeing Xue Qi didn't say anything, Cheng Kai continued, "I suggest you take the 300,000 yuan you have and return home, find an honest man to marry, and live a stable life. There's no need to cause yourself trouble for money that's almost impossible to get."
Xue Qi stared at the back of Cheng Kai's head and asked, "Assistant Cheng, I can't get 30 million. Can you get a lot of money from Qin Mei? Let me guess how much it is... 5 million?"
As if Xue Qi had hit the nail on the head, Cheng Kai's eyes showed panic: "Ms. Xue, I don't understand what you mean."
Xue Qi didn't waste time talking to him and directly listed his assistant Cheng Kai as the second enemy.
Cheng Kai felt that Xue Qi seemed like a different person, not the same as before.
He was too lazy to pretend and said bluntly: "What I said is the truth. Do you really think you can beat her?"
Five million is not a small amount for ordinary people.
At this time, the car had already entered the highway. Cheng Kai got off the highway halfway and parked the car next to a wooded area in the wilderness.
Seeing that there was no one around, he took out a small dagger, opened the back door, and pulled the thin woman out of the car.
Qin Tiantian has now been "marked" by the female lead Liu Ruyu. In order for Qin Tiantian to complete her evil deeds as a "female cannon fodder" as soon as possible and promote the development of the story, Xue Qi, the "roadblock", will inevitably suffer a lot. The people around her will also "turn evil" at any time to advance the plot.
For example, Assistant Cheng Kai cannot control his desires and is willing to kill someone to silence them for five million.
Xue Qi had anticipated this, so he sent a text message to 110 ten minutes ago and turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone.
Xue Qi’s Douyin video account does not have many followers, and the live broadcast will be replayed. Once Cheng Kai commits any substantial harmful behavior towards her, the live broadcast replay can serve as evidence.
Cheng Kai was overwhelmed by the five million, and Xue Qi had just accurately revealed the private transaction between him and Qin Mei, which made him feel that he had something on her.
If Xue Qi spreads this matter, it will affect his chances of joining a new company in the future.
Cheng Kai himself didn't know what happened, but he got carried away and decided to kill the person to silence him.
There seemed to be a voice in his head tempting him:
——Kill her, kill her! Kill Xue Qi, and Qin Mei will get custody, and you can get five million from Qin Mei!
Thinking of this, Cheng Kai pressed Xue Qi against the car and apologized, "Ms. Xue, I'm sorry. I really don't want to kill you, but I had no choice. Mr. Qin is dead, and it's hard for me to find a job at my age. Five million is enough for me and my family to live a worry-free life. For my family, I have to do this."
The phone was in the car and couldn't capture the video outside, so Xue Qi could only scream:
"Assistant Cheng! Wake up! Lao Qin treated you well when he was alive! If you kill me, you'll have a life on your hands, and that's a criminal offense! You'll go to jail!"
Cheng Kai didn't want to miss this good opportunity. He said, "I will clean up your body. Besides, no one will believe that I killed you! If they have to suspect someone, they will suspect Qin Mei. I'm sorry, Miss Xue!"
"ah--"
Xue Qi screamed.
He then hid in the car and calmly cut off the live broadcast.
Cheng Kai opened the car door and stabbed Xue Qi with a dagger like a madman.
After the live broadcast was cut off, Xue Qi calmed down, raised his foot to block the man who was rushing towards him, and grabbed the man's wrist with his hand.
Cheng Kai's wrist was restrained, and he thought he could easily break free, but he didn't expect the woman's strength to completely crush him, almost crushing his bones.
In the world of food management games, gangs of "black gangs" would come to the restaurant every now and then to cause trouble. And Xue Qi, who was also given the role of security guard, would chase them away with fists, kitchen knives, and even frying pans.
Cheng Kai's fighting power was far inferior to those thugs causing trouble in the game world, so Xue Qi easily dealt with him.
In no time, he knocked the man to the ground, took out a bundle of ropes from the trunk, tied up Cheng Kai, threw him into the trunk, and drove away.
Cheng Kai was beaten black and blue, and huddled in the cramped trunk, unable to cry.
So why couldn't he even beat a woman? The key point was that he never knew Xue Qi was so strong!
Thinking of Qin Mei, who was carried away unconscious by the police, Cheng Kai suddenly realized: "..."
Damn it, Qin Mei didn’t fall by herself, she was beaten by Xue Qi!
It has to be said that Cheng Kai was very good at finding places to kill people and silence them. There was no village or shop nearby, and because of the freezing weather, Xue Qi drove several kilometers to find a small bungalow to stay in and wait for the police.
There was an elderly woman living alone in the small bungalow. She took two hundred yuan from Xue Qi and enthusiastically went to prepare accommodation for her.
Xue Qi threw the unconscious Cheng Kai aside.
It is winter now, and there is a stove in the middle of the living room. The iron sheets are burning red, making the surroundings warm.
Xue Qi had been busy all day and hadn't eaten a single bite. He was very hungry, so he asked the old woman, "Grandma, is there anything to eat?"
Grandma said apologetically, "There's no cooked food. If you don't mind, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Xue Qi stood up, walked to the refrigerator, and took out some fresh pig brains. "I'll do it myself. Don't bother you. It's getting late. You go to bed first. I'll wait for the police here."
The old man looked at the tied-up man, feeling somewhat worried. He took out an axe and handed it to Xue Qi: "Take this. I'll go to the backyard to pick up some charcoal."
Xue Qi was not polite: "Okay."
After the old man left, Xue Qi washed the brains and picked out the blood bit by bit.
She got some tinfoil from Cheng Kai's car, folded it into two small bowls, put the washed brain into the tinfoil bowls, and spread some lard on top.
While marinating the brain flower, Xue Qi quickly made a special chili sauce with chili peppers and spread it on the brain flower.
Two bowls of brain flower were placed on the stove and roasted. Due to the high temperature, they started to sizzle and emit oil in a short while.
Cheng Kai was beaten by Xue Qi and became paralyzed on one side of his body. He was unconscious when he suddenly smelled an alluring spicy and salty fragrance and woke up instantly.
He sat up and saw Xue Qi methodically roasting brains, sprinkling cumin and crispy green onions on the half-cooked brains.
The red oil in the brain flower carries the warmth, stimulating the aroma of the chopped green onion, and all of it bursts out mixed with the mellow aroma of the brain flower.
The roasted brain mixed with spicy and fragrant sauce has a color that is visually impactful enough to make Cheng Kai's appetite grow.
Xue Qi scooped up a spoonful and put the fresh roasted brain into her mouth. The rich sauce mixed with the brain, the aroma of barbecue and the tenderness of the brain instantly bloomed in her mouth.
Although it was a bit hot, the fragrance kept hitting her taste buds and made her feel happy even though it burned her heart.
In the gaming world, Xue Qi, a social animal, has never enjoyed his own cooking.
In order to save money, the player asked her to
PC eats the leftovers of the guests every day, and is even not allowed to heat up the food for fear of wasting electricity.
Food without warmth has no soul.
This was the first time Xue Qi felt the warmth of the food he cooked!
So happy!
Thinking about the 30 million he was about to inherit, Xue Qi felt that the future was promising!
No one can stop her from inheriting 30 million!
Cheng Kai watched Xue Qi eat roasted brain, as if he was watching a food show where people were eating delicious food.
The key point is that Xue Qi’s roasted brain is so colorful and fragrant that it makes him hungry.
Because of the aroma of delicious food, Cheng Kai was actually much more sober at this time.
At this moment he suddenly realized that he had just done something unforgivable! !
Him! Attempted murder!
Cheng Kai recalled his crazy self just now and couldn't believe it was him! It was as if he was possessed by a ghost, and his desire to kill and silence the witness was completely out of control.
At this moment, looking at Xue Qi who was enjoying the food with a happy look on his face, he actually felt a little guilty.
Even, as if possessed by some unknown force, he whispered, "Ms. Xue...Ms. Xue, can you give me a bite?"
Xue Qi glanced at him and wanted to say no.
You want to steal her 30 million and also want to share her roasted brain?
You’re dreaming!
She cast a contemptuous look at him, but saw a line of small golden words appear on Cheng Kai's head.
[Smelling the aroma of "Happy Food", the unknown villain's evil value is decreasing. 】
Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the roasted brain in his hand, as if he understood something.
She walked towards Cheng Kai with her roasted brain, scooped a spoonful and passed it to his mouth: "Just one bite. Remember this kind-hearted fairy, who almost killed you and still shared food with you."
Cheng Kai opened his mouth and took the roasted brain flower into his mouth, and then, fireworks exploded in his head.
How to describe Xue Qi’s roasted brain flower?
It was like eating a mouthful of soft cheese, tender and melting in his mouth. The savory and salty sauce mixed with the chili peppers melted in his mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste and a hint of houttuynia. It was like rolling in a soft cloud, and it blissfully reminded him of his family.
He showed an expression of deep recollection on his face, and then suddenly burst into tears:
"Ms. Xue, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have had any ill intentions towards you! I'm sorry for my wife at home, and even more sorry for my grandmother who has placed such high hopes on me. I'm not worthy of being a human being!"
The man burst into tears.
Xue Qi saw another line of small golden characters appear above his head:
[After eating the "Happy Food", the unknown villain's evil value is completely cleared, and he successfully transforms back into an ordinary passerby.]
The man was crying and looking at her with a distorted face: "Can you give me another bite?"
Xue Qi scooped up a big spoonful and scraped away all the remaining brain soup in the tin foil bowl.
Cheng Kai showed an expectant expression, his mouth wide open.
Then, in front of him, Xue Qi put the last bite of roasted brain into his mouth and showed an expression of enjoyment: "It smells so good!"
Cheng Kai: “…”
