Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Food Poisoning

At first, people thought the man in black had just been injured. They never expected what happened next.

Spurt…

Suddenly, the man in black spewed a mouthful of white foam.

Thump…

He heavily fell from the chair to the ground. After he lay on the ground, his body twitched and convulsed.

“It’s over, he’s been poisoned, he’s been poisoned,” cried the other men nearby as they fell one by one, each convulsing. Li Dapang was yelling loudly on the side. In the restaurant, people screamed, and some ran out as if they were insane. Being mostly students, they had never seen such a scene before, so their fear drove them to run madly out of the place.

Li Dapang, however, was completely fine. He yelled, “It’s terrible, they’ve been poisoned!’

The restaurant’s waiters were also shocked silly. These waitstaff had never seen such a scene, each of them hid in corners trembling, and some even cried out of fear.

“What should we do? What should we do?”

“Manager Li, what should we do?!”

A group of girls were terribly frightened. The restaurant manager hurried over and yelled, “Quick, call an ambulance!”

Soon enough, a number of people pulled out their phones to call emergency services, fearing something terrible might happen.

Li Dapang continued to yell, “Save them, saving lives is crucial!”

Manager Li also called people to carry up those convulsing bodies and tried incessantly to feed them mineral water in an attempt to dilute the poison in their bodies. Of course, while this method might be somewhat effective, it was utterly useless here.

The restaurant was in chaos, diners ran out quickly. Some people took advantage of the chaos to escape. Many tables took the chance to flee without paying; no one settled their bills. Given the incident, the diners naturally lost their appetite to continue their meal.

At that moment, the ambulance arrived in a hurry.

There were three poisoned people, but the ambulance could only accommodate two stretchers. Fortunately, one of the ‘poisoned’ individuals was not seriously afflicted.

Two people lay on stretchers, while one sat on a seat. As the responsible head of the restaurant, Manager Li naturally needed to go to the hospital; he had to pay the fees and also to figure out what exactly happened, why these people were poisoned. Since they were poisoned in his restaurant, it definitely related to the restaurant.

Li Dapang also got into the ambulance.

“Your restaurant’s food is poisoned!” Li Dapang pointed at Manager Li’s nose and cursed angrily.

“Nonsense!” Manager Li looked at Li Dapang with disdain.

“I am not talking nonsense!” Li Dapang snorted coldly, then said, “You must take responsibility!”

“What does this have to do with our restaurant?” Manager Li shouted angrily.

“Damn it!” Li Dapang lost his temper and roared, “Fuck you, you just won’t admit it, will you?”

Manager Li sneered and then said, “Why is it only you guys are poisoned while no one else is?”

Bang!

Li Dapang, furious, threw a punch right then.

“Ouch!” Manager Li immediately covered his jaw, tears welling up from the pain. He cursed, “Bastard, you dare to hit me.”

“Hitting you is getting off lightly,” Li Dapang said angrily.

“I’m going to kill you!” Manager Li was about to retaliate when two doctors stopped him.

“Stop arguing!” the doctor scolded, “Let’s go to the hospital first. Stop causing trouble, we’ll know once we do a medical evaluation.”

“Damn it, either their dishes are the issue, or there are pesticide residues in the food!” Li Dapang stubbornly accused the other party. He snorted and said, “Do you really think we’re poisoning ourselves?”

“Wait!” the doctor immediately reacted. He looked at Li Dapang and asked, “Are you with them?”

“Yes,” Li Dapang nodded.

“You dined with them?” the doctor asked again.

“Yes, what about it?” Li Dapang looked at the doctor, puzzled.

“Then why aren’t you poisoned?” the doctor curiously looked at Li Dapang.

At this moment, Manager Li also seemed to grasp a critical point and urgently inquired, “Right, why aren’t you poisoned, while they all are?”

“I…” Li Dapang was startled, but he had prepared for this question long ago. Moreover, everything was unfolding exactly as he had expected. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, then he said, “They like to eat Cirsium. Personally, I don’t really like the taste. Could it be… could it be that the dish of Cirsium stir-fried with cured meat had a problem?!”

Manager Li, upon hearing this, was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, the doctor hurriedly said, “Call the police, quickly, let the police intervene and investigate, have the police investigate that dish!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Li Dapang quickly nodded.

Manager Li then hurriedly said, “Wait, brother! Let’s first go to the hospital for an assessment to see if that’s really the issue. If it is, I… I am willing to take responsibility. If not… it won’t be too late to call the police then!”

“That won’t do!” Li Dapang hurriedly shook his head, saying, “This is no trivial matter; we must call the police first!”

Today, Li Dapang’s intent wasn’t about money; rather, it was to bring down Yujian Restaurant, so today, he definitely wouldn’t let the other party off easily. He quickly pulled out his phone to call the police. The nearby police station, upon hearing this—that there was food poisoning in a restaurant, and if someone died from poisoning, that would surely be a problem—was alerted.

Soon, the nearby police station dispatched officers, instantly sealing off the restaurant. They split into two teams: one went to the hospital to investigate, and the other conducted evidence collection at the restaurant.

The police at the restaurant packed and sealed all the dishes involved and took them back for investigation.

Meanwhile, the police at the hospital interrogated Li Dapang and the person in charge of the restaurant.

While the police were conducting their investigation, the hospital’s findings were released. It turned out that the dish from the restaurant was indeed problematic—it contained high levels of pesticide residues. Three people were poisoned, one severely, and was receiving meticulous blood purification treatment. The other two, less severely affected, were in the hospital wards receiving IV fluids. They were quite agitated, and after further investigation, the police also left the hospital.

Simultaneously, the police took the restaurant’s manager back to the station for further questioning.

…………

Meanwhile, Xiao Han also began to take action.

Liu Bin, a computer science expert, immediately started to post news of food poisoning at Yujian Restaurant on the campus forums. Very soon, more than a dozen posts about the poisoning soared to the top of the Shuimu University forums, and overnight, the forums were swept with messages condemning Yujian Restaurant.

“It’s over, I ate at Yujian Restaurant yesterday too, could it be… I’m poisoned as well?

“No way, I’m going to the hospital for a check-up. If there’s a problem, I’ll make them pay!”

Many students were frightened and became extremely panicked.

“Have you heard? Someone died from poisoning at Yujian Restaurant!”

“Really? I thought it was just poisoning?”

“I don’t know; I heard it from my classmate who ate there yesterday. It seems someone really died!”

As the message spread, it often developed into different versions, always arousing a sense of panic and fear.

At the university, many students were aware of the news, and the gossip about food poisoning at Yujian Restaurant quickly morphed into tales of someone dying from poisoning. Many students rushed to the hospital for blood tests, hoping to find nothing amiss with their health.

Not only was Shuimu University abuzz, but the surrounding schools also started turning much more animated.

Business and Trade School.

Several posts about Yujian Restaurant causing deaths from poisoning surfaced on the forums of the Business and Trade School, narrated by an observer, no less. Moreover, several photos from the scene were attached to the posts. Three people poisoned, lying on the ground, one frothing at the mouth, clutching his belly with a fierce expression, a truly frightening sight, inducing an overwhelming sense of fear and terror. The other two were convulsing on the ground, also foaming at the mouth.

The description was vivid, and the photos were real, capturing the backdrop of Yujian Restaurant perfectly. The authenticity of the post was highly credible. No one doubted it. On the forums of the Business and Trade School, the post’s views had already exceeded one hundred thousand, and the number of replies had reached over eight thousand. It even seemed to surpass the attention it got at Shuimu University.

“Thank you, senior!” Guan Xiaotong looked at the tall, handsome boy opposite her.

“No worries!” The boy smiled and said with a chuckle, “This isn’t really helping you, just think of it as helping all the students of the Business and Trade School. Try to avoid eating at Yujian Restaurant in the future; we don’t know who might get poisoned next!”

Guan Xiaotong smiled slightly and said, “I never knew you were so compassionate.”

“Heh heh…” The boy chuckled and said, “Xiaotong, are you free tonight? Let’s go eat at Hanmen Restaurant. I hear the food there is quite good.”

“Um…” Guan Xiaotong hesitated.

“What? Do you have plans tonight?” The boy asked, puzzled.

“Yes!” Guan Xiaotong nodded.

“Then…” The boy hesitated, lowering his head, and said, “Xiaotong, you know? Actually… I’ve liked you a lot all along. You’re so beautiful, gentle, and understanding. We’ve known each other for two months now, and I… I hope to become your boyfriend, to always be by your side, to protect you, to prevent anyone from bullying you. To be there for you in your times of sorrow!”@@novelbin@@

“Ah!” Guan Xiaotong gasped, quickly shaking her head and said, “Senior… I… I cannot agree to this!”

“Why?” The senior frowned, looking disappointedly at Guan Xiaotong.

“Because…” Guan Xiaotong stuttered, struggling to speak.
