Lazily Yours.

Chapter 361: All In

"Xi we should leave. It's bad." Cleo leaned towards her. "It's not just Ma Ping. Most of them had to run back to go to the toilet. I am suspecting that someone is making fun of us."

"Oh?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow, her eyes were still on the empty plate. "Are they vomiting?"

"No but I can't be sure. Let's go and check."

"You check," Lyca said. Diarrhea is not something that could easily kill them. Moreover, she could easily heal them, alright. At this point, all she wanted to do was eat. "Stop panicking. I know food poisoning sounds uncomfortable, but it is not an uncommon thing to happen." She smiled and gestured her to get the food instead.

Food poisoning? Then how come she isn't feeling unwell? She saw that those people were trying to eat truffle pasta earlier. Since most of them didn't recognize the food, they just ate everything that Lyca and Shen Qui ate to avoid embarrassing themselves.

Meaning, this isn't some simple food poisoning. However, Lyca is confident that the goal is not to kill her people. First and foremost, they already have the first place. If all of them would die after obtaining the first place, then some people would surely talk. That would only embarrass the event and the committee. Second, whoever is trying to do this should not be someone from the committee, as they were afraid that Lyca would suddenly strike back and release some evidence against them. Those people already had some bad blood with Lyca. If they wanted to act, they wouldn't make it so obvious.

This means that the possible suspect is one of the companies. Of course, the number one suspect is Long Yi and the Long Company. She turned her head towards Long Yi and of course his wife, who stood next to him. The two of them were talking to some other older folks, smiling and laughing with them.

Long Yi Does this man really want to die? Provoking her and harming her people like this Was it possible that he wanted her to lose control and retaliate against everyone? Retaliate against him? If that is Long Yi's goal, then he would never achieve it.

She calmly took some wine and finished it before she gestured the waiter to give her another glass of wine.

After a few minutes, Lyca's food finally arrived. This time, Shen Qui also approached him. "How was the food?"

"Delicious," she smiled at him. "I wish you can make something like this."

He lifted an eyebrow and eyed the truffle mushroom pasta. "Then I will do my best."

She giggled in response. "You are already so handsome. If people knew that you spoil your life like this they might try to steal you away from me."

"Then they should try it. I had been languid these days. I need to practice my mind and body."

She pouted. "I thought I am doing the best at practicing your body?" She then held Shen Qui's arm and whispered something, making him chuckle in response.

The quick banter didn't escape the eyes of the older people who joined the party. Lyca's actions were too seductive, her smile coquettish. This, of course, made many people unhappy.

"Let's go?" Shen Qui said and Lyca nodded. She then ignored her food and left the banquet with Shen Qui. Of course, Cleo who was so red was following them.

"Damage?" Lyca asked the moment they stepped out of the hall. The smile on her face was still the same.

"Eighteen."

"That's a lot."

"Hmmm." The two started walking towards their car. Since there was an emergency, the two rode a car instead of walking towards their building.

"They were going all in." They only have twenty-eight people, including Chu Nan and Hogan. However, Hogan was too old and Chu Nan had a special identity. They weren't really considered a member of the troop. Meaning, if eighteen people were poisoned, they would only have a total of eight healthy people for tomorrow's stage.

Soon, the car arrived at the building, and the three of them immediately checked everyone. Lyca started checking everyone's pulses, immediately determining that they were indeed poisoned. "It wasn't in their food," she concluded. "Must be in the water."

"Then what can we do about it?" Chu Nan asked.

"Medicine," Lyca said before she walked out of the room and went to her and Shen Qui's room. She quickly opened her suitcase and rummage through a lot of potions and tablets that she had. "Let them take this. This will not stop the stomach ache but would help them recover their energy." After giving Shen Qui a few tablets, she started mixing some liquids. The medicine that she had is not enough for eighteen people. She needed to make more rather, she needed to innovate and make something that could stop the spread of poison.

"Was it deadly?" Cleo asked as she wiped the sweat on Lyca's forehead.

"No. But it would make them weak." Weak to the point of not being able to walk. The people who did this must have thought that they would go to the doctor. If they did, the doctor would immediately say this was ordinary food poisoning. They might even say that her people's stomach is not used to eating some of the raw food that is included in the banquet.

"Weak then tomorrow."

"They can join." Lyca declared. After about thirty minutes, Lyca finally left her room and asked Shen Qui to give each of them a drop of the purplish liquid that she made.

"What was that?"

"Something that could help them," she answered Chu Nan. To be honest, she doesn't know what to call that liquid. However, she was confident that it would end the pain that they are feeling right now. That liquid could easily destroy any mild poison and remove it from the system. The only disadvantage is the fact that you needed to vomit for a few minutes to remove the poison in your system. After that, everything should be good. "The energy drinks that I created for everyone. Drink it tomorrow morning." She was talking about the vial that she gave everyone. This vial could replenish their strength. Drinking the vial would assure that they will be in their peak condition tomorrow.

With that, Lyca didn't wait for anyone to say anything. She met Shen Qui's eyes and nodded slightly before leaving the room.

It's time to talk to Long Yi.
