Chapter 62: Drugging

Jiang Xianchuan enthusiastically pulled Li Lingyu through the camp, and they explored the mouth-watering delicacies along the way. Every time they came to a snack stand, they would stop and carefully taste the delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste.

"Wow, Shi Yi, this vegetable and pork ribs soup you made is simply amazing! It tastes so delicious that I can't stop eating it!" Jiang Xianchuan held a bowl of steaming soup in both hands, drank it in big gulps, and gave a thumbs up to Shi Yi who was standing beside him, praising him generously.

Hearing Jiang Xianchuan's high praise, Shi Yi smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "If it tastes good, drink more. There's still a lot in the pot."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, night falls. This lively and extraordinary dessert party slowly comes to an end amid the laughter and satisfaction of everyone. However, no one expected that a sudden change was quietly approaching Jiang Xianchuan.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, Jiang Xianchuan woke up slowly. But as soon as he stood up, he felt a piercing pain in his abdomen, as if countless small insects were gnawing at him. He held his stomach tightly, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Oh, why does my stomach hurt so much? I must have eaten something bad yesterday." Jiang Xianchuan thought to himself. Since he himself had a very fragile stomach and intestines, he could easily develop diseases such as gastroenteritis if he was not careful. So at this moment he couldn't help but recall the food he had eaten yesterday, trying to find the culprit that caused his stomachache.

"Yubao, come and help me, my stomach hurts so much!" Jiang Xianchuan moaned in pain, his voice trembling and weak. Li Lingyu, who was busy in the living room, heard the call and hurriedly put down the things in his hands and rushed into the bedroom. Seeing Jiang Xianchuan's uncomfortable look, he immediately bent down and carefully carried him on his back without saying a word, and then hurriedly ran towards Lin Pianyue's clinic.

Along the way, Jiang Xianchuan twisted his body constantly because of the pain, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto Li Lingyu's neck. Li Lingyu was extremely anxious, and his pace became faster and faster, wishing he could fly to the clinic in an instant.

After finally arriving at the door of Lin Pianyue's clinic, Li Lingyu found that the place was already crowded. Many people were sitting on chairs with their hands on their stomachs, waiting for treatment, with painful looks on their faces. Apparently, they also had the same abdominal pain symptoms as Jiang Xianchuan.

Seeing this scene, Li Lingyu's heart suddenly turned cold. He secretly prayed that Jiang Xianchuan could be treated as soon as possible.

"Sister Pianyue, can you see Chuanchuan first? He's in so much pain that he can't bear it." Li Lingyu shouted anxiously into the clinic.

Hearing the sound, Lin Pianyue walked out quickly. When she saw Jiang Xianchuan's pale face and clothes soaked with sweat, she quickly arranged for other people to push him into the room.

Li Lingyu stood outside the door, his hands clenched into fists, staring at the door nervously.

His heart was filled with confusion and worry. He didn't understand why everyone had eaten the same food yesterday, but only Jiang Xianchuan had such a strong reaction while he was fine.

No, an idea suddenly occurred to Li Lingyu. He had not tasted the vegetable and pork ribs soup that Shi Yi had carefully cooked because he had no interest in drinking soup. But he had once enjoyed Shi Yi's delicious food. How could it be possible that the food was not cooked thoroughly?

In this case, the problem must be with the ingredients. Li Lingyu frowned and thought carefully, feeling more and more that there was something fishy about the matter.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the door of the room opened and Lin Pianyue walked out with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, he's not seriously ill. He just has an attack of acute gastroenteritis. I have temporarily controlled it with my supernatural powers." Upon hearing the news, Li Lingyu's heart finally settled down and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the clinic. Zheng Jun was seen holding his stomach tightly with both hands, his face was as pale as paper, and he was shouting: "Tell me quickly! What on earth did you add to this soup? It caused my stomach to hurt so much!"

Standing in front of him, Shi Yi's face was full of anger, and he responded angrily: "I really didn't add anything, please don't slander me and slander a good person at will!"

"Hmph, you didn't add anything? If that's the case, then why does my stomach hurt so much? And I only ate the bowl of soup you cooked yesterday. Besides, many other people in the clinic also showed symptoms of discomfort. Could it be that they were all pretending?" Zheng Jun widened his eyes and stared at Shi Yi viciously, looking like he was unwilling to give up.

Shi Yi stood at the door of the clinic, looking at the noisy crowd inside, and for a moment she didn't know how to start. She clearly remembered that these people had indeed drunk the soup she had cooked herself. At this moment, facing the accusations and suspicions of everyone, she felt wronged and helpless.

"Well... you can't just assume that it's my responsibility, right? How can you be sure that it's not because of eating something else?" Shi Yi tried to defend himself.

However, Zheng Jun, who claimed that he was badly hurt by her, refused to give in: "It must be your fault! You just don't like me and you deliberately made trouble for me! Oh my God, what should I do! I must report it to the battalion commander!"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the house. It turned out that Jiang Xianchuan heard the noise outside, and he asked Li Lingyu to help him out.

"What are you arguing about! Be quiet! Don't accuse innocent people here. Do you believe I will beat you up again?" Jiang Xianchuan shouted loudly.

Zheng Jun, who had been arrogant and unyielding at first, immediately wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant when he saw Jiang Xianchuan, and dared not say another word.

When she looked at Jiang Xianchuan walking out of the clinic, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat and she felt cold instantly. Could it be that there was really something wrong with the soup she made?

However, she had been carefully watching over the entire process of preparing the ingredients and stewing the soup. She strictly checked every step, so there shouldn't have been any mistakes.

As if he could see through Shi Yi's inner thoughts, Jiang Xianchuan raised his head slightly, looked at her firmly, and said, "It can't be your problem. My stomach has always been bad. Maybe it's just caused by eating too much." After saying that, he forced a smile, trying to soothe Shi Yi's nervous mood.

"I know, you and that damn girl are in cahoots! You two are in cahoots with each other and team up to bully me!" Zheng Jun's eyes were wide open, he pointed his finger viciously at Jiang Xianchuan, and roared loudly, the sound was deafening, as if it could overturn the roof.

At this moment, a tall and imposing figure slowly approached. It turned out to be Qi Xiaoyao. He frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you doing making so much noise so early in the morning?"

Hearing Qi Xiaoyao's question, Zheng Jun rushed forward as if he had seen a savior, and cried with a face full of grievance: "Boss Qi, please help me! This dead girl is so vicious, she actually wanted to poison us! Yesterday, she added something in her soup, and then we drank it, and as a result, I have a terrible stomachache today, ouch..." As he said, Zheng Jun did not forget to cover his abdomen with his hands, pretending to be in great pain.

Qi Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Zheng Jun and asked calmly, "How can you be so sure that she was the one who planted the seeds? Do you have any evidence?"

When Zheng Jun heard this, he immediately straightened up and answered confidently, "Do you even need to ask? I didn't eat anything except her soup the whole day yesterday. Who else would do this if not her?"

However, Qi Xiaoyao remained unmoved. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He asked back: "Oh? According to you, just because you only drank her soup, you can conclude that it was her? Then who knows if what you said is true? How about this, you take out your stomach and let me see it, so that I can believe what you say." After that, Qi Xiaoyao crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Zheng Jun coldly.

Zheng Jun never expected Qi Xiaoyao to say such a thing. He was so angry that his face turned red and his body trembled. He jumped up and down and cursed: "Well, you are really in the same group! Even you are speaking for this bastard! I must report it to the battalion commander!"
