Led by Qian Shan, Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing went downstairs to a private room in the restaurant.
The food and a bottle of unopened red wine have already been laid out.
"sit."
Qian Shan said to Xu Ningbing and Xu Mu.
He sat down first and opened the red wine bottle next to him.
Xu Ningbing stared at the bottle of red wine, her expression indifferent.
“Cui Yunshen is a young master from a reclusive family, and I can’t afford to offend him, so I can only comply with his request. I hope Miss Xu won’t blame me.”
As Qian Shan spoke, he poured red wine into the glasses in front of Xu Ningbing and Xu Mu, and then poured himself a glass.
"Come on, let's drink and chat."
Qian Shan raised his glass.
But Xu Ningbing didn't take it. Just as she was about to speak, her phone vibrated.
Only then did they realize it was a message from Xu Mu, containing only one sentence: "The wine isn't poisoned, but the food is."
Xu Ningbing frowned and then sent a question mark.
The meaning was clear: she wanted to know why Xu Mu knew so much.
Xu Mu smiled and quickly typed, "I smelled it. I know a little about medicine."
"What? Miss Xu, are you afraid I'll poison your drink? This is a society governed by law; I wouldn't dare do that."
Qian Shan smiled, picked up his wine glass, and took a big gulp. "Since Miss doesn't want to drink, then eat something. You must be tired from the journey. You didn't eat anything at the banquet either."
As they were talking, Qian Shan picked up a piece of pastry from in front of him and ate it himself.
Xu Mu had just clearly seen through his senses that, apart from the plate on his side, the rest of the plates contained medicine.
But it's not spring night grass, but a top-grade natural treasure, the Drunken Fruit.
It can make you dizzy and confused, but not to the point of fainting.
Xu Ningbing's face was gloomy. If Xu Mu hadn't told her in advance, she might have just eaten something casually.
It's really a series of interconnected schemes, all designed to trap you.
Qian Shan is disgusting. I thought he was a nice person when we chatted.
“Miss Xu, the reason I called you here today is to say that your cooperation with the Yan family is going very well, and I also want to follow the Yan family in the future.”
Qian Shan said with a smile, "Not only will you not drink the wine, but you won't eat the food either. You're really not giving me any face."
"Sis, I think Mr. Qian looks good, let's have a bite."
Xu Mu took the initiative to use his chopsticks to pick up a piece of sushi and put it in Xu Ningbing's bowl. He then picked up another piece for himself and ate it directly.
Although Xu Ningbing hesitated for a moment, she saw Xu Mu's gaze and ate a piece as well.
Upon seeing this, Qian Shan nodded with satisfaction.
"Mr. Qian, we'll be leaving now."
Xu Mu pulled Xu Ningbing and turned to leave the private room.
"Xiao Mu, didn't you say..."
"Eating it will help detoxify you."
Before Xu Ningbing could finish speaking, Xu Mu took out a leaf and placed it in her palm.
Xu Mu ate the remaining leaves himself.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ningbing quickly swallowed the leaf.
"No matter who you encounter in a moment, don't worry about them, just go straight to our room."
As soon as Xu Mu finished speaking, Liu Lei walked over with a smile from a distance.
"Damn it! Young Master Xu, it's you again. This time, I'm not letting you get away!"
Liu Lei pounced on Xu Mu and forcibly dragged her away.
Logically speaking, Xu Mu wouldn't have the strength to resist after taking the medication.
Finally, Xu Mu was pulled up the stairs by Liu Lei, went up one floor, and arrived at their accommodation.
He easily opened a room and pulled Xu Mu inside.
Then he pushed Xu Mu onto the bed next to him.
Liu Lei took out a tissue from his pocket, carefully opened it, and found white powder inside.
He had just bent down when Xu Mu suddenly blew on the powder, covering his face with it. Some of it went into his mouth, and some was sucked in.
"Holy crap! Xu Mu, you're fucking alright!"
Liu Lei coughed violently. He wanted to run away, but a silver needle pierced his back, and he immediately went limp.
"A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold, Young Master Liu, enjoy it to the fullest."
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he walked outside.
