"Yeah." Zhan Yihan nodded. The main reason he and Jin Yue came back this time was because of Yuan Xing. He felt really bad that Yuan Xing had postponed the wedding because of him.
"So are you still living in the courtyard?" Lin Xufei asked.
"Yeah." Zhan Yihan put the fish meat with the bones removed into Su Jinyue's bowl.
"Everyone, the fish soup is here!" Boss Li came over with a large pot of fish soup and placed it on the table. "This fish soup contains a lot of wild mushrooms picked from the mountains."
Su Jinyue looked at the fish soup on the table. The soup was thick and looked delicious, but then her brows furrowed. A slightly sweet smell mixed with the aroma of the fish soup entered her nose. She saw Wei Yuanxing had already scooped up a bowl of fish soup and was about to drink it. "Wait a minute, this fish soup is not drinkable."
"Why?" Boss Li looked at Su Jinyue in confusion. He had cleaned the fish and the mushrooms very well. Why couldn't he drink them?
Wei Yuanxing also put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue said that she couldn't drink it, and she definitely couldn't drink it. He had no reason to doubt it.
Su Jinyue looked at Boss Li and asked, "Among those wild mushrooms you have, is there any that is light brown with black spots all over it?"
Boss Li thought about it and nodded, "Is there something wrong with that mushroom?" Su Jinyue knew without even looking that she must have seen that kind of mushroom before.
Su Jinyue nodded. "That kind of mushroom is extremely poisonous. After eating it, your tongue will feel slightly numb, then your whole body will become paralyzed, and eventually you will die."
Upon hearing this, Boss Li's face showed anxiety. "Is there any way to treat it?" He had just tasted the fish soup when he cooked it. No wonder his tongue was always numb.
"Did you eat that kind of mushroom?" Wei Yuanxing asked in surprise.
"I just tasted the fish soup, and now my tongue is numb," Boss Li said with a sad face. He could feel his hands starting to go numb too. He wasn't going to die, was he?
"Su Jinyue, you should have a way to save Boss Li, right?" Wei Yuanxing asked. Su Jinyue was no ordinary person. If she couldn't cure him, then no one else would be able to.
Boss Li looked at Su Jinyue and pleaded, "Please think of a solution." If he could survive, he would definitely go and settle the score with the person who sold him the mushrooms tomorrow.
Su Jinyue took out a detoxification pill and handed it to Boss Li, "Eat it first, I have something to ask you." She felt that this matter was a little complicated.
"Okay." Boss Li quickly took the medicine and put it into his mouth. All he wanted now was to be alive.
Feeling that his tongue and hands were no longer numb, Boss Li looked at Su Jinyue happily, "Thank you!"
Su Jinyue shook her head, "Who sold those mushrooms to you?" Those mushrooms were not ordinary mushrooms, and they were rare in the capital.
"An old farmer brought it to you when you went fishing just now. He said he picked it in the mountains." said Boss Li.
He saw that the mushrooms were fresh, so he sold them. When he was making soup for Wei Yuanxing and the others, he had put them in the fish soup. His original intention was to please Wei Yuanxing and the others, but he had not expected such a thing to happen. In the past, some old farmers would bring him some mountain products, and he would add them to the fish soup, and the customers would praise it.
"What does the other person look like? When did he come?" Wei Yuanxing asked.
Boss Li thought for a moment, "He's tall and thin, with very dark skin. Oh, and he has a mole on his chin."
"I know who it is. I was on a mission before, destroying a drug lord's lair, and one of them escaped," Lin Xufei said. He didn't expect it was the hidden danger he left behind. Fortunately, Su Jinyue was not an ordinary person, otherwise he might have been caught today.
Zhan Yihan withdrew his spiritual sense, looked at Su Jinyue, picked up the bowl, scooped a bowl of fish soup for Su Jinyue and handed it to her.
"Why are you drinking this poisonous fish soup?" Boss Li asked in surprise.
"We have the antidote, so we're not afraid. Besides, it would be a waste not to eat such delicious fish." Su Jinyue took the fish soup from Zhan Yihan. They had long been immune to all poisons, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.
"I'll have a bowl too." Wei Yuanxing smiled and picked up the fish soup on the table and started drinking it.
Bai Tingxue and Lin Xufei exchanged a glance, then picked up their bowls and spoons and began to simmer the fish soup. With Yihan and Su Jinyue by their side, they had nothing to worry about.
Boss Li shook his head and turned to walk towards the kitchen. He really couldn't understand what Wei Yuanxing and the others were thinking. Why did they drink it when they knew it was poisonous?
As the night deepened, the only sound in the bamboo forest was the rustling of bamboo leaves in the evening breeze.
Several dark shadows quietly approached the bamboo house. When they heard that there was no sound inside, a cold curve appeared at the corners of their mouths.
"Let's go in," Zhang Qingxin said, waving to his men. He had been secretly observing Lin Xufei since his escape. Knowing that he and a few friends were coming here today, he knew his chance had come. Lin Xufei had cornered him, so he would leave him with nowhere to go.
The group quickly walked into the bamboo house and saw Lin Xufei and his group lying on the table with leftover fish soup and fish in front of them.
Zhang Qingxin walked forward, picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of fish soup. Seeing that there were indeed poisonous mushrooms in it, he burst into laughter and looked at Lin Xufei who was lying on the table. "I'm telling you, don't think that I will let it go just because you die. I will kill all the people in your Lin family one by one." He, Zhang Qingxin, has never been a person who would swallow his anger after suffering a loss. If others owe him a penny, he will get it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
Pulling out a dagger from his waist, Zhang Qingxin stabbed Lin Xufei, who was lying on the table. Even if Lin Xufei died, he would not let him go easily.
But before his hand fell, it was grabbed by a big hand. He turned around in surprise and saw that Wei Yuanxing, who had just been lying on the table, his life or death unknown, had actually sat up and was looking at him with a smile.
"Didn't you drink the fish soup?" Zhang Qingxin looked at Wei Yuanxing in disbelief. He clearly saw that there was still leftover soup in his bowl. How could he be okay?
"Drink it." Wei Yuanxing exerted force with his hand, and heard a snapping sound, followed by Zhang Qingxin's scream.
"Hurry up!" Zhang Qingxin shouted, thinking of his men. Turning around, he found that they had all been controlled without him noticing. His face turned pale. It seemed that he was doomed this time.
Lin Xufei looked at Zhang Qingxin with a sneer, "It was you who did it." Now that Zhang Qingxin has been arrested, all of Zhang Qingxin's subordinates can be caught in one fell swoop.
Zhang Qingxin snorted coldly, "You can kill me or chop me up as you please." When he chose this path, he was already prepared to face this day.
