Chapter 81

If there was a leak of the poison just now, then when the juice was sprayed, it was most likely mixed in and sprayed out together.

Even if only a tiny bit leaked out, when mixed with the juice, the concentration wouldn't be high, and the toxicity should have been significantly weakened.

Feng Yi actually didn't know what effect his poison would have on humans or how toxic it was.

All his experiments were only on ingredients or mice.

However, when Feng Yi was staring at the guy in the floral shirt just now, the other person didn't have any wounds on his hands, so nothing happened.

As long as there were no open wounds, even undiluted poison wouldn't cause any harm if it was sprayed on the hands, as long as it didn't get into the eyes.

Feng Yi put down his fork.

With such a temporary situation, Feng Yi didn't continue eating here and found the nearest restroom.

He washed his face with cold water.

His emotions gradually calmed down.

His body also gradually returned from the state of stress. The chemical systems that were previously active became dormant again.

Feng Yi looked in the mirror.

His pupils, which had slightly narrowed, returned to their normal round shape.

The slight narrowing of the pupils earlier was not noticeable unless you looked closely, and there wasn't a significant change in the iris.

This was only possible after Feng Yi had mastered the control of his pupils. If he hadn't evolved to have enough control over such changes, his pupils would have likely narrowed to slits during the stress response.

The leakage of poison from the fangs was unexpected.

Although in the previous conversation with the old butler, Feng Yi knew that due to prolonged hunger, the body would continue to undergo some changes, and the two fangs, more precisely, the entire venom gland, were adjusting and were somewhat out of control.

However, in general, entering a stress state and all the changes in the body were for defense, a response to external stimuli.

When Feng Yi returned to a normal state, Xie Jijie walked back, looking unhappy.

Yan Dingyuan and a few others were still discussing how to avoid wearing the same clothes in the future.

Yan Dingyuan, who was particular about wearing custom-made clothes from a young age, couldn't avoid a temporary situation where he bought a suit at a mall and ended up wearing the same clothes as someone else. What kind of luck was that!

Of course, in front of Yan Dingyuan, they didn't dare to complain about his bad luck, so they could only blame the store.

As they were talking, they saw Xie Jijie return.

"How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Xie Jijie chuckled, "What else? How could I fail when I'm the one doing it? It's just that there were too many people eating, which interfered with my actions. Not much juice splashed on his clothes, and if the guy ignores it, he might not even change."

"That means you didn't succeed, no wonder your face looks so bad."

Xie Jijie was annoyed and declared, "I'll go and splash him again. This time it will definitely work!"

Yan Dingyuan took a deep breath, "Forget it! For the sake of Qianli Group, don't cause trouble here. This time, let's just say I had bad luck!"

If it had succeeded the first time, it wouldn't matter. But if they kept causing trouble, it wouldn't be something that could be explained away as an accident. If Qianli Group found out, they wouldn't be happy. Causing trouble at the Qianli Group's annual celebration would be a loss of face for Qianli Group.

Yan Dingyuan was going to take over his family's company, and he considered himself different from people like Xie Jijie, who only knew how to play.

Xie Jijie was just talking, and if he really had to go alone, he wouldn't dare.

But this failure made Xie Jijie feel like he had lost face.

Recalling the scene, Xie Jijie calmed down and began to suspect that the guy might have tampered with something. Was the fork a prop?

The dining utensils used in the Qianli Group's internal venue, while not absolutely luxurious, were definitely of high quality.

Xie Jijie sat down, wondering if the guy had cheated, and picked up the same fork from the table.

Distracted, he was scratched by the utensils on the table, and his hand started to bleed.

Xie Jijie cursed, thinking his luck was really bad today!

He opened a disinfectant wipe and wiped the blood off his hand.

It was just a small wound, and Xie Jijie didn't pay much attention. He just remembered that when he went to cause trouble, the guy had sprayed him with juice.

He hadn't even thought to wash his hands in the restroom when he came back! He had just returned in a hurry!

Thinking about this, Xie Jijie felt very uncomfortable and used several disinfectant wipes to clean his hands.

After cleaning, he picked up the fork again and asked the others, "Is the fork easy to bend?"

Someone said, "It depends on the material, but in general, for such occasions..."

The person pointed to the large venue.

"For such occasions, the utensils used are definitely not cheap, but they won't be as fancy as the silverware or precious metals used in high-end private gatherings."

"So?"

"So, it definitely won't bend easily!"

Xie Jijie said, "I'll try to see if I can bend it."

"It's very difficult!"

The others thought Xie Jijie was wasting time, just being bored.

But Xie Jijie insisted on trying.

The others were even more puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to bend this?"

Xie Jijie: "...I just remembered a movie, and someone mentioned it, so I want to try."

"Ha! In movies, they use props, don't take it seriously."

Xie Jijie: "I don't care if it's a prop or not, I just want to try."

The others thought it was unnecessary, but since Xie Jijie really wanted to try, they got excited.

"Use more force! Use more force!"

"Try harder!"

Someone standing nearby teased him.

"Jijie, you must be weak from eating so much!"

"Hey, Jijie, don't shake your hand..."

"Jijie, why are you drooling?!"

"Wait! He... He doesn't seem right!"

Ding!

The fork fell to the ground.

Xie Jijie collapsed.

His eyes were unfocused, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but it was completely inaudible. His breathing became heavier, and his body started to convulse, his muscles trembling!

"Jijie! Xie Jijie!"

Everyone was shocked, and Yan Dingyuan quickly contacted the Lu family. To prevent any accidents during the celebration, there was a medical team on standby.

...

Xie Jijie was quickly carried away by the medical team, and the disturbance was quelled with the intervention of the Lu family.

But privately, people were talking and spreading rumors.

When Feng Yi came out of the restroom, he heard someone discussing the incident.

"Did you hear that the guy in the floral shirt had a problem from drinking too much?"

"How did I hear that he had an allergic reaction to something, and the symptoms were quite severe. He's over 20 and doesn't even know what he's allergic to?"

"No, no, I heard from an insider that he was poisoned!"

"Tch! In the past 5 minutes, I've heard seven or eight different versions of 'insider information'!"

Feng Yi listened to their discussion, his eyelids twitching.

Floral shirt, over 20, poisoned.

He couldn't help but think more about it.

Soon, Feng Yi saw Lu Yue standing at the edge of the venue.

Although Lu Yue still had a calm smile, it was clear that he was in a bad mood.

"Did you hear about the incident?" Feng Yi asked as he walked over.

Seeing it was Feng Yi, Lu Yue didn't show any displeasure.

"A small problem," Lu Yue said.

"What's the situation? I heard the person was carried away by the medical team," Feng Yi asked.

Since Feng Yi asked, and Lu Yue wanted to gain more benefits by pulling him in, he patiently explained.

"He's not awake yet, but he's not in danger. We don't know what happened yet. They say he was poisoned, but we don't know what kind of poison. We'll have to wait for him to wake up to ask him.

"Those people play recklessly, and I'm afraid they might have taken some 'drugs.'"

Lu Yue gave Feng Yi a knowing look.

"Good that he's not in danger," Feng Yi said.

Knowing that the person was not in danger and the situation wasn't too serious, Feng Yi felt relieved.

Conflicts can be resolved, even doubled, but this level of conflict wasn't enough to demand a life.

Lu Yue sneered, "Fortunately, he's not in danger, or the responsibility would fall on us!

"His parents want us, Qianli Group, to take responsibility. What responsibility? This isn't a kindergarten, and he isn't a child! How can I watch over them all the time?

"The food and drinks are strictly managed! Why did no one else have a problem? He must have offended someone who got back at him! That guy talks faster than he thinks, and he's offended many people!"

Lu Yue glanced at Feng Yi, "Do you know him?"

Based on Lu Yue's understanding of Feng Yi, after so many collaborations, Feng Yi had always been indifferent to unrelated matters. Why was he so concerned now?

Feng Yi thought that there were cameras in the dining area, and even if they couldn't capture the entire scene, they could capture the moment of conflict. Hiding it now would only raise more suspicion if an investigation was conducted.

So, Feng Yi told Lu Yue about the incident where the guy had come to splash him with alcohol.

Lu Yue was both amused and angry.

"A 20-year-old, doing nothing all day! Focusing on trivial matters, thinking they're so capable!"

Lu Yue decided to talk to the elders at home. Yan Dingyuan's father knew to keep his son in check, but if Lu Qin continued to let him run wild with people like Xie Jijie, he would be ruined.

"Bad luck!"

Lu Yue cursed.

He then said to Feng Yi, "No matter who it is, no matter how they look, be careful with anything they give you to eat or drink! I suspect Xie Jijie might have made an enemy, and this time he got hit.

"The dose must have been quite large, and he still hasn't woken up."

Feng Yi, who had only leaked a tiny bit of poison: "..."
