Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Qing observed the mans every move and was even more confident that the people living in the room next door were Lantings people. Perhaps the people in this shop were either his or Lantings group.

The thin man went upstairs and stayed for less than half a cup of tea before coming downstairs. The waiter happened to be delivering food to Su Qings room. The thin man looked at the food on the tray and called the waiter over. This is for us, right?

He reached out to take the tray.

Hey, customer, this isnt for you. Its for the guest who lives in the room next to yours.

The waiter hurriedly s.n.a.t.c.hed it over. The thin man smiled slightly.

Oh, I misunderstood.

After saying that, he returned the tray to the waiter and narrowed his eyes as he watched the waiter send the food into Su Qings room.

Sir, try our Spanish mackerel from Haicheng and this clam soup. They are especially delicious and cant be eaten in the mainland.

AS the waiter spoke, he placed the tray on the table. There was a plate of stewed fish, a pot of flower clam soup, and brown rice. This was considered the best meal in their inn.

Thank you.

Su Qing was hungry when she smelled the fish. Recently, she had liked to eat fish. After two days of b.u.mpy travel, she finally had a good meal today. She was pretty satisfied and thanked the waiter.

Sir, Im sorry. This meal fee has to be paid separately.

The waiter said to Su Qing with a smile,

It cant be helped. The brown rice is too expensive. The money for the hotel is not enough for the meal.

How much?

Su Qings expression was a little cold. He was worried they wouldnt be able to afford it and would run away.

Seeing that Su Qing was unhappy, the shop a.s.sistant hurriedly bowed and apologized,

Sir, we cant help it. Were also waiting for this money to settle the bill.

How much?

The guard, Little Ding, saw that Su Qing was annoyed and stopped the waiter.

Two taels of silver.

The waiter felt guilty when he said that. He had added half a tael of silver to the bill.

So expensive? Why arent you guys seizing it?

Zhong Yong was furious when he heard that. He grabbed the shop a.s.sistants collar and said,

I asked you to pour hot water and make food for me. Lets go find your shopkeeper.

Su Qing did not stop Zhong Yong. It was good that he was making a scene. She sat at the table and started eating. The fish was delicious. The clam soup was also good. She picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl. She frowned after taking a sip.

There was something in the soup. Su Qing ordered Xiao Qi with his mind,

Xiao Qi, make the antidote.

Alright, Master.

Xiao Qi readily agreed and immediately went to make the antidote. There was a sleeping drug in the food, and it was an increased amount of sleeping drugs.

Su Qing suspected this restaurant was a scam, but it was also possible that Lantings people had tampered with it. No matter who it was, they would keep an eye on them and only feel at ease when they saw them drink the soup with their own eyes.

Therefore, Su Qing decided to confuse the other party and let them see the four of them finish the soup with their own eyes so that he could be sure what they wanted to do.

Sir, dont go to the shopkeeper. Its not easy for me. I bought all the food outside. If you want the truth, give me one tael and a half silver.

The waiter held onto the door frame and refused to leave. He begged Zhong Yong in a low voice. If the shopkeeper knew he was earning extra money, he would chase him away.

Give it to him!

Su Qing told the guard, Little Ding, to deliver the money. It was only one tael and a half of silver, not a single copper coin.

The waiter did not dare to say anything. He had done something wrong. He took the money and left obediently.

Come over for dinner.

Su Qing called Zhong Yong back for dinner. Zhong Yong turned around, and Su

Qing saw a pair of eyes staring at them through the gap in his arm.

This soup is not bad. Try it.

Su Qing told everyone to scoop the soup and took the opportunity to put the antidote into the soup. She lowered her voice and said to the three of them, Drink all the soup later and sleep on the table.

Is it poisonous?

Zhong Yong might have looked silly, but he was not stupid. After hearing his masters words, he understood and asked softly. Su Qing looked at him coldly, and Zhong Yong quickly shut up.

Eat the fish first. Eat the rice while its hot.

Su Qing told everyone to eat the fish and rice first and then drink the soup.

They could only act after they were full.

Seeing that Su Qing and the others had scooped the soup into their bowls but did not drink it long, the people watching them outside were anxious Their eyes were filled with suspicion. Could it be that they had been seen through? Su Qing ate two rice bowls, but she was still not full. The main reason was that the fish was delicious. It was incredibly fresh and did not sting. The fish soup poured on the rice tasted great. She scooped another bowl of rice. Her appet.i.te was comparable to Zhong Yongs.

Everyone ate quite a bit. Seeing that the rice bucket was almost empty, they only picked up the soup after they were full.

The people staring at them outside the door instantly widened their eyes. They watched as the four drank the soup and quickly lay on the table.

So inexperienced? He was a rookie.

The waiter carried the sizeable wooden bucket into the house. He was a little confused when he saw the people on the table lying on their backs. He carefully walked over and gently pushed Su Qing.

Sir, sir?

Su Qing didnt move and continued to lie down and pretend to be asleep. The waiter went to push Jiang Yuyan again, but there was still no response. He pushed all four of them, but there was no response. This scared him so much that he shouted for the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper, come and take a look.

The person who had been observing in secret frowned anxiously. He gritted his teeth angrily as he watched the waiter ruin his business.

What happened?

The waiter called over the shopkeeper. When he entered the room and saw that all four were lying there motionless, he was stunned.

What happened?

I dont know. I just came in and saw them pa.s.s out.

The waiter was scared out of his wits. He was terrified that these people would blackmail him. What if they said that the food he sent was poisonous?

Use water. Try sprinkling them with water.

The shopkeeper had some experience. He suspected that these guests had been drugged. The drug could be cured by watering them. He quickly ordered the waiter to water Su Qing and the others.

Seeing the shopkeeper and the waiters actions, the people watching outside did not leave and kept staring.

Aiya, what happened?

Su Qing woke up and covered her forehead with her hand. Water droplets dripped down her hair, and her face was covered. The waiter hurriedly handed her a towel.

Customer, wipe the water.

When Su Qing took the towel, the thin man next door entered. When he entered the room and saw the four of them in a sorry state, he asked, Ah, whats going on?

Su Qing wiped the water off her face under the thin mans gaze and handed it

to Jiang Yuyan. She put on a tired look and said,

Maybe Im tired from the journey and cant open my eyes after eating. The thin man saw Su Qing wipe her face with his own eyes. His face was still the same, full of wrinkles. There was no trace of artificial painting at all. He laughed and said,

Yes, traveling is very tiring. Rest early!

Alright, I wont send you off anymore.

Su Qing stood up with her hands on the table and cupped her hands at the thin man. Her voice was exhausted, and her acting was very profound.

Zhong Yongs eyes lit up when he saw this. His master was so powerful that he could even deceive people to death.

The thm man came out of Su Qings room and looked upstairs. He made a gesture with his hand..
