Chapter 1167: Poisoning Experiment

~6 min read 1,050 words

For a cold person like this to truly feel admiration and trust for someone, that someone must absolutely be good to a certain realm.

Facing Huo Jinglin and Xuri did not chat for long; they needed to rest well now as well.

Ning Chen suddenly ordering them to rest was absolutely not merely to let the two know something was wrong with the situation, but to let them truly rest well.

I fear a hard battle awaits us next.

Night quietly arrived; Ning Chen and Xiao Han took turns monitoring 'Lin Yi', while 'Lin Yi' rested very leisurely on the sofa.

Tonight's dinner was made by Ning Chen; this time he made a hodgepodge, meaning many vegetables and meat cooked together, then seasoned with condiments.

Though it looks simple, the making process is absolutely not simple.

If any step is wrong or something is added too much, the ingredients in this pot could be ruined in an instant.

Fortunately, Ning Chen's control is absolute; he strictly followed the standard to make the food.

The task of calling people was given to 'Lin Yi', also to dispel 'Lin Yi's' vigilance, making him think they truly had not discovered his abnormalities.

'Lin Yi' indeed thought this way; upon hearing Ning Chen ask him to call people, he instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was resting, the more he thought about the questions the other side asked him, the more he felt something was wrong; the other side seemed to be testing him.

So 'Lin Yi' kept his vigilance up; as soon as anything seemed wrong, he would leave this place.

And Ning Chen's act of asking him to call people showed that Ning Chen did not suspect him.

After all, no one would ask a dangerous person to call others.

'Lin Yi' diligently ran to the doors of the two rooms, starting work with both left and right hands simultaneously, knocking on the doors.

The first to open the door was the one on the right.

When Facing Huo Jinglin opened the door, he was stunned upon seeing the person outside, his muscles unconsciously tensing.

Immediately he relaxed quickly, yawning into his hand, pretending to be not fully awake yet, to cover his own dazed moment just now.

"Ah ha, why are you here? Speak, what do you need?"

"Brother Ning asked me to call you for dinner." 'Lin Yi' quickly stated his purpose.

Facing Huo Jinglin nodded, then looked into the room and said, "Let's go, Xuri, time for dinner."

Seeing that this side had risen, 'Lin Yi' wanted to knock on the left door again, but before his hand could touch it, Facing Huo Jinglin stopped him.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? That young Miss is sleeping her beauty sleep; do you still want to disturb her? In a moment, just let Brother Ning carry the food in for them to eat. What's wrong with you? How did you forget this too?"

Facing Huo Jinglin's voice was not small; inside the room, Gu Yanqi and Xuyue, who were preparing to come out, exchanged a glance and decisively sat back down on the bed.

And Ning Chen also heard this passage; he pretended to have just walked out of the kitchen, looking at the two standing at the door and saying, "Jinglin, are you bullying Lin Yi again? Come eat quickly."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, 'Lin Yi' thought Facing Huo Jinglin was frequently bullying the real Lin Yi, so he did not find his words just now strange, after all, it really was bullying.

'Lin Yi' showed a bitter melon face, walking towards the dining table, not forgetting to openly complain to Ning Chen about Facing Huo Jinglin.

"Yes, Brother Ning, Facing Huo Jinglin is bullying me again; you must help me settle this."

Seeing this, Ning Chen sighed and said, "You two are truly a pair of live treasures."

After speaking, Ning Chen went to the kitchen to serve rice.

However, in Lin Yi's portion of rice, he added a lot of crushed sleeping pills and a large amount of sugar.

He was unsure whether they, having become infected, would still have a sense of taste, but to be safe, he used sugar to cover those powders.

If the other party still had a sense of taste, then one could say rice with sugar was Lin Yi's habit.

Carrying the rice to the table, looking at the abundant dishes before him, 'Lin Yi' exclaimed, "Wow, so abundant, looks so delicious, and the smell is so fragrant!"

Speaking thus, 'Lin Yi' even swallowed saliva, as if truly attracted by the dishes before him.

Afterwards, after Ning Chen moved his chopsticks, the others also started moving their chopsticks.

However, this time Ning Chen did not let everyone stick their chopsticks all into the pot.

Instead, he took out bowls and served a bowl of hodgepodge to each person one by one.

Regarding Ning Chen's action, no one objected; after all, no one wanted to eat something touched by a high-level infected.

'Lin Yi' couldn't wait to start eating the meal, praising exaggeratedly while eating.

"Brother Ning, the food you make is really too delicious! Simply never gets boring no matter how many times you eat! This taste is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing 'Lin Yi' eat the rice before him without changing his expression, Ning Chen already had an answer in his heart.

It seems this 'Lin Yi' has no sense of taste.

After finishing the meal, Facing Huo Jinglin and Xuri cleared the dishes on the table.

Their speed was very fast, completely leaving no space for Lin Yi to act.

As soon as Facing Huo Jinglin and Xuri arrived at the kitchen, they smashed the utensils 'Lin Yi' had used, then threw them into the trash can inside the cabinet.

This way, even if discovered later, one could say it was just a dropped and broken bowl and chopsticks.

The two washed the other bowls and chopsticks back and forth and sterilized them from various angles.

Washing a few bowls, they stubbornly used an hour of time to get it done.

The two walked out of the kitchen, both thinking that they would absolutely never do the task of washing dishes again; it was really too tiring.
