Chapter 149: Poisoning Attempt



Su Xuanxuan thought about it and decided to call Lin Yan.

"Are you free?"

"Sister Xuan said I must be free! Where are we going?" Lin Yan walked out with his coat and waved to the people in the box.

"Go to Xia Feng's hotel, there's work to do."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll pick you up." Lin Yan agreed without saying a word. Sister Xuan finally remembered him.

I heard that Su Miaomiao and some other people went out to play these two days, and no one thought of taking me with them.

He still feels a little aggrieved.

Now, as soon as he hears a phone call, he rushes over immediately.

When the two appeared at the Xia family hotel, the father and son of the Xia family were a little surprised.

I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Have you two had lunch yet?"

Father Xia said politely that it was dinner time, so he called people over and naturally had to prepare lunch.

They both shook their heads and said in unison, "No, we've already eaten."

"Oh, okay, okay...I'm so sorry."

The two followed him into the box, ready to discuss the situation in detail.

"Miss Su reminded me last time, and I've kept it in mind, paying attention everywhere. But no matter how careful I am, I can't prevent the tricks of those villains."

"I've heard that both of you are quite accomplished in metaphysics. Some guests have reported that our hotel is haunted, but I'm not sure if it's true or not, so I've specially invited you two to come and take a look."

From Mr. Xia’s expression, we can tell that this incident has had a significant impact.

"It's mainly because this incident has been fermenting online, and our hotel's reputation has plummeted, which has seriously affected our business."

Lin Yan stepped forward and comforted him: "Mr. Xia, don't worry, now that we are here, leave this matter to us!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

This is the hard work of most of his life, and he doesn't want it to be ruined like this.

Xia Feng stood by and didn't say a word.

He suddenly felt as useless as a background board.

My only role was to get to know Su Xuanxuan and introduce her to my father.

Several people walked out of the box and prepared to go out to check the situation.

Su Xuanxuan watched with sharp eyes as a waiter pushed a food cart over, and one of the dishes caught her eye.

To be precise, it is the garnish of this dish, a bright flower.

"stop!"

Su Xuanxuan stopped the waiter who was pushing the food cart and strode forward.

Although he didn't know why she did this, Dad Xia followed her.

"Mr. Xia."

The waiter shouted respectfully.

Su Xuanxuan's eyes fell on the meal, and his fingers gently took out the beautiful flower.

"Your hotel is quite bold. This flower is poisonous, including its juice. If it accidentally gets into the food, you can imagine the consequences."

Su Xuanxuan said coldly.

Father Xia's face changed. This was a matter of life and death.

"Go call out the chef responsible for this dish!"

His tone was a little bad, and all kinds of conspiracies were already flashing through his mind.

This enemy is really omnipresent. If Miss Su hadn't discovered it, the customer would definitely have suffered from food poisoning, and then people outside would make a big fuss about it, and it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

He gave Su Xuanxuan another grateful look.

The chef in charge of this dish came out quickly. He was short and looked very thin.

"Boss Xia, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The chef stood in front of them, somewhat at a loss.

"Did you make this dish?"

The chef nodded, but didn't dare look up to meet Mr. Xia's eyes.

"Yes...I did it. Any problem?"

He asked uncertainly, looking a little nervous.

"Did you put these flowers there?"

President Xia pointed at the bright and juicy flower in Su Xuanxuan's hand.

"I just thought it looked good, and it's perfect with this dish."

He explained, as if he was hiding something.

"Then do you know that this flower is poisonous?" President Xia pressed on, staring at the chef with a burning gaze.

There must be something fishy about her.

"No...I don't know. If I knew, how could I dare to take it? Mr. Xia, there will definitely not be a next time." He promised and tried to cover up the matter.

Su Xuanxuan leaned over to the dish, smelled it, dipped a little sauce with his finger, put it in his mouth, and then spit it on the tissue.

"What's the problem?"

Father Xia asked nervously.

Su Xuanxuan nodded: "There is a drop of juice in it, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect. I have tried various herbs since I was a child, and I am very sensitive to these subtle flavors."

"Then you tasted it just now." Xia Feng said worriedly. Although he spit it out, there must be some residue in his mouth.

Su Xuanxuan shook his head calmly: "This little bit of poison is nothing to me, but if it were an ordinary person, they would definitely suffer from unbearable abdominal pain. At the mildest, they would have diarrhea, and at the worst, they would have difficulty breathing."

Father Xia clenched his hands into fists.

"What else do you have to quibble about? You said you put it aside for decoration because it looked pretty, so why did you mix the juice into the dish?"

"I...I don't know. I didn't do it...Mr. Xia, you have to believe me."

He was still quibbling and refusing to admit it.

In fact, his trembling hands had already betrayed him. He didn't expect that he would be discovered even though he was so secretive.

"Actually, this flower isn't native to our country, but to an island nation. Our country's planting area is very small, so getting even one requires considerable effort. How can a mere chef like you easily obtain this flower?"

Su Xuanxuan exposed him mercilessly. It was obvious at a glance that this man had taken money from others.

"How can you, a little girl, slander me without any evidence?"

He is now refusing to admit his guilt, so we cannot convict him without evidence.

"Uncle Xia, your kitchen should have surveillance cameras, right? Oh, and by the way, check his account to see if there have been any unexplained large transfers recently."

The meaning of Su Xuanxuan's words was clear enough, and Father Xia was not a fool.

Someone was immediately asked to check the surveillance footage.

The kitchen is just that big, but only the manager and the boss know the exact location of the surveillance camera.

Sure enough, a hidden surveillance camera captured the man poisoning the person.

Now the chef had no way to defend himself and his face turned pale with fear.

Mr. Xia called the lobby manager and decided to call the police.

This can be considered as intentional injury and attempted poisoning.

The man finally got scared. He knelt down, hugged Xia's father's thighs, grabbed his pants, and begged.

"Mr. Xia, I was confused for a moment. Please let me go. Please let me go."

People always feel regret at the last moment.

If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

He knelt on the ground, knocking his head against the floor tiles one by one.

The hotel security dragged him up and waited for the police to arrive.

Mr. Xia didn't have time to chat with the two of them, so he took his people upstairs.
