Perhaps they didn't think from the beginning that anyone could rescue the hostages from Shang Shaoheng, so there was not even any surveillance installed here.
At this moment, everyone in the safe place was waiting anxiously, not knowing what had happened to Jiang Rong. Some people asked the school, but the school was also confused because they didn't know either.
If they knew that Jiang Rong started to make a fire and cook with Shang Shaoheng's tacit consent, they would probably spit out blood.
Soon, fragrance came out of the pot. In the deep mountains and old forests, on a lonely and cold night, this pot of soup looked so tempting.
But Shang Shaoheng remained unmoved. He leaned against the tree trunk and slowly wiped the Uzi submachine gun in his hand, as if thinking about how to kill Jiang Rong later.
The steaming hot soup was ready. Jiang Rong poured a bowl of it and came to Shang Shaoheng's side: "Master Shang?"
Shang Shaoheng: "Take it away."
Jiang Rong said: "It's really not poisonous."
Shang Shaoheng sneered.
"...Well, it seems my words have zero credibility with you." Jiang Rong thought for a moment, took a sip himself, and said, "Here, I drank it myself too. Now you can believe it, right?"
Shang Shaoheng remained unmoved.
Jiang Rong frowned.
Why is this bastard so difficult to deal with?
[022.] Jiang Rong called his system: [In order to survive, I will do something later. You are not allowed to scream.]
022: [What?]
Jiang Rong didn't explain, but took another sip of the soup, then pounced on Shang Shaoheng with lightning speed, lowered his eyes, and fed the soup into his mouth!
022: [……]
022: [Ah ...
Jiang Rong: […Didn’t I tell you not to scream? Calm down!]
022: [How can I stay calm in this situation?!]
Not only 022 was confused, Shang Shaoheng was also stunned.
He lay on the soft mud and looked at Jiang Rong's face. There was a little dirt on the tip of her nose, but it made her eyes darker and her skin whiter.
Jiang Rong rested her hands on his chest, with a hint of moisture still on her lips.
She had anticipated Shang Shaoheng's reaction: he would be furious, he would be indifferent, and he would not care... But she had never thought about what she should do when Shang Shaoheng was staring at her so intently.
To be honest, this look made her feel like she was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
"I..." Jiang Rong felt that she should say something, but just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Shang Shaoheng's action.
He turned over and pressed Jiang Rong under him, looking at her coldly: "What were you doing just now?"
Jiang Rong: "Feed you some soup?"
"You treat everyone like this?"
Jiang Rong smiled sweetly: "How could that be? I only do this to you."
"Why?"
Jiang Rong lowered his eyelids and sighed softly: "Because as a chef, it is very sad not to be recognized by others. The mushroom soup I made is delicious, but you refuse to taste it. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort..."
At this point, she raised her eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Shang Shaoheng paused, looked at her rosy and plump lips, and hummed softly.
Jiang Rong's eyes lit up, he pushed him away and got up, then very attentively poured him another bowl: "If it tastes good, drink more!"
To show her sincerity, she also served herself a bowl, drank it quickly, and said that it was absolutely no problem.
Shang Shaoheng paused, but finally took a sip.
The taste is really good, the freshness of wild mushrooms is incomparable to that of artificially cultivated mushrooms.
Jiang Rong was sitting next to him, watching him. Shang Shaoheng drank half a bowl and asked coldly, "Why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Rong propped up his chin and said, "Shouldn't we give the chef an evaluation after the meal?"
"Not bad." Shang Shaoheng commented: "At least it won't kill you."
Jiang Rong: "That may not be the case."
Shang Shaoheng: “?”
Jiang Rong clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Actually, I just lied."
"You may not know me very well." Jiang Rong raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not the kind of person who will just wait to die."
Shang Shaoheng's eyes turned cold and he immediately reached for his gun, but just as he moved, he felt severe abdominal pain, dizziness, double vision, and even weak limbs and body.
"...You poisoned me?" Shang Shaoheng asked coldly, "When?!"
Jiang Rong said: "I didn't poison it."
"How could I have the chance to poison someone under Mr. Shang's nose?"
She walked over to Shang Shaoheng, confirmed that he was unable to move, and then patted his face: "You may not know that the locals are actually resistant to wild mushrooms. Some mushrooms are fine for locals to eat, but will cause poisoning to outsiders."
"Coincidentally, I once lived in K City for a while and I'm familiar with all the different mushrooms here. So, it's okay for me to eat it, but it's okay for you to eat it."
Bringing these things over here is Jiang Rong’s second plan.
If it wasn't Shang Shaoheng who was guarding the hostage, she wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort, but fortunately she was used to arranging a retreat, so now she was able to poison Shang Shaoheng.
"Did you see the little man?" Jiang Rong asked. "They say everyone sees something different when they're poisoned. The first time I ate this kind of mushroom, I saw a tiger chasing me and biting me. What about you? What did you see?"
Cold sweat oozed from Shang Shaoheng's forehead and his lips turned pale. The world was upside down in his eyes and everything around him was distorted. The branches of the trees were like eerie ghost hands, reaching out from hell, trying to drag people to the underworld.
Only the ginger was still clear, but...
Except she turned into a beautiful red mushroom that could talk.
Shang Shaoheng has extensive field combat training. The basic common sense in foraging in the wild is that the brighter the things are, the less likely they are to be touched, as these things are often highly poisonous.
But at this moment his mind was not very clear. Looking at this arrogant red mushroom, he suddenly became very angry. Regardless of his limp body, he suddenly exerted force and pressed her to the ground.
Jiang Rong was startled by his sudden attack and his eyes widened.
Shang Shaoheng was so exhausted that he almost pressed his entire body on her. Jiang Rong was a little breathless and pushed him hard: "You're so heavy, get out of here!"
Shang Shaoheng said expressionlessly: "Don't talk."
Jiang Rong knew that Shang Shaoheng was already at the end of his strength, and now he was arrogant: "You control everything and even others' words? Why can't I speak?"
"Mushrooms can't talk." Shang Shaoheng said calmly, "If you're discovered to be an abnormal mushroom, you'll be taken to researchers for sectioning. I might not be able to save you—although a bad mushroom like you deserves to be used to make mushroom soup."
Jiang Rong rolled his eyes and said deliberately, "You are also a mushroom, so why can you speak?"
Shang Shaoheng thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he agreed with her: "You are right."
Then he lowered his head and bit Jiang Rong's rosy and plump lower lip tightly - in that case, everyone shut up.
