They'll definitely fleece them. This also shows that the person behind it all seems to be short of money lately, and has started resorting to petty scams.
It's clear that he not only lacks money, but also manpower.
Having swindled them out of their possessions, they now intend to swindle others.
Increased doses of this hallucinogenic drug can keep them in a state of delusion, making them completely obedient to the person who administered it. However, prolonged exposure to this state can cause them to become mentally impaired...
Over time, that person will become useless, turning into a puppet who can only obey orders.
How could she just stand by and watch such a thing happen?
However, what she is unsure of now is whether this hallucinogenic drug is an upgraded version.
"Welcome, sir and madam. Please come inside for your meal."
The waiters were very welcoming as soon as they stepped in.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat eerie. She had been to this restaurant before, but it was completely different from what she was seeing now.
The power of the person behind that is not to be underestimated. They have extended their reach to Hell Island and have basically monopolized the business on Hell Island.
Could it be that all these merchants were drugged with hallucinogenic drugs in the first place? And they all obediently followed his orders? That's not impossible, after all, it would cost a lot of money to acquire these shops.
Even in the US, it would be difficult for her godmother to come up with that much money all at once.
Unless this mysterious person has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds like them?
It's not entirely impossible.
Yan Xiluo smiled and nodded, treating the waitress with even more gentleness. She wanted to see when the waitress planned to drug her.
She naturally led Lan Jingyan inside and found a decent-looking spot to sit down.
Hello, where is your menu?
As soon as he asked that question, he felt something was wrong, because their menu was usually placed on the table.
The menus on these tables are filled with drugs. Could they be hiding sedatives inside? When someone opens and flips through them, the drugs are released into the air, causing poisoning to the person who opens the menu?
Thinking of this, she quickly exchanged a glance with Lan Jingyan and told him that there were hallucinogenic drugs on the menu, and that he should be prepared in time.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll go get it for you right away."
The waiter hurried to the front desk, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he left.
This made her even more certain that the hallucinogenic drug was hidden in the menu.
"Sir, Madam, the menu is here."
The waiter hurriedly grabbed the menu, placed it on the table without opening it, and looked at them expectantly.
"Then I'll see what we can eat."
Yan Xiluo appeared to be talking to Lan Jingyan, but her true intentions were elsewhere.
While she was saying these words, she kept glancing around to see if anyone seemed to be acting strangely.
They were the only two people dining in the restaurant; the rest of the staff were waiters.
Coincidentally, there were only two waiters today.
Normally, this restaurant would be very popular, requiring at least 10 or so servers to keep up with demand.
The moment Yan Xiluo opened the menu, she felt something rush in through her nose and then sweep over her entire body, making her feel dizzy.
The person she was looking at was the one she trusted most.
"Baby, we agreed to use our money to build a castle. But I don't have enough working capital and need to borrow some from you..."
Although Yan Xiluo was a little dizzy, she knew at this moment that the person she was talking to was not Lan Jingyan.
The cost of building a castle for someone with a net worth of trillions is merely the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean.
How could they possibly say they don't have enough working capital? Ha! That's a really lame way to lie.
Trying to lie to her without even understanding the situation? That's so low...
Even if she didn't take the antidote, she wouldn't have been fooled.
"Honey~ I miss you so much... Didn't you say you love me the most? Look, it's getting dark, we should go and rest."
Like Yan Xiluo, Lan Jingyan felt dizzy and disoriented after being drugged.
He could clearly see that the woman in front of him was the love of his life, but he wasn't a fool.
Yan Xiluo would never say such things to him, and instead, she'd be all over him, seducing him with her flirtatious and provocative manner...
He was always the one who seduced Yan Xiluo.
He felt nauseous at that moment, but to make the performance more convincing, he didn't quickly inhale the antidote. He was afraid that if he fully regained consciousness, he would definitely knock this person away...
They were cheated out of money, but how come he's being cheated out of his body?
Seeing that the woman was about to pounce on him, he had to dodge quickly without alerting her and making her wary.
Yan Xiluo couldn't stand it for a second longer. First, she lightly flicked her fingertips on her nose, then quickly threw the hand with the sleeping pill at the waiter.
When she realized what was happening, there were actually five people standing in front of them...
Fortunately, she had just sprinkled the sleeping pills on them, and when she felt it wasn't enough, she took some more from her pocket.
So after someone is drugged, their other accomplices will appear, and they will begin to manipulate the drugged person, tricking them and then taking them away...
She originally wanted to play a little longer, but she really couldn't stand it anymore!
Lan Jingyan has always given her money and pampered her, and has never asked her for anything she dislikes. They are completely ruining Lan Jingyan's image.
But you can't blame them for that; how could they know that Lan Jingyan was worth trillions?
The drugs in the package made him want to laugh; he didn't know if the drugs were ineffective or if the people were just too funny.
At this point, all five people had been drugged, and in the largest dose possible, to make it easier for her to take them back to the gang for interrogation later.
Lan Jingyan also recovered from his fever at this time, and the person who had just been in front of him returned to his original appearance. This was the waiter who had just welcomed them in.
"Baby, I almost got seduced. He disguised himself as you to seduce me. He doesn't know you at all. You're not that flirtatious and crazy... I almost couldn't resist..."
If we keep talking, Lan Jingyan will almost bleed...
"Couldn't resist what?"
Yan Xiluo suddenly looked at him with amusement, seeing his aggrieved expression, he was indeed frightened just now.
"Of course I'll beat her up! To ruin your image! Besides, this hallucinogenic drug isn't that great... at least it doesn't work much on me, it can't fool me."
Lan Jingyan thought the sleeping potion was really weak, and she didn't know how they were fooled. Were they really that easy to fool?
"That's because the dosage was insufficient; we only turned one page. Also, he doesn't know much about us. Relatively speaking, they know more about the people on Hell Island. They must have come to scout beforehand; these people today are clearly not from the original restaurant."
Yan Xiluo was only guessing; it was hard to say for sure, but the person behind it might very well buy up some of the businesses.
