A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 114 Taken Back for Interrogation

The moment they got close.

Shen Tang's palm twitched slightly, and earth spikes burst from the ground, piercing the waiter's thigh!
The opponent dodged in an instant!

This kind of responsiveness is something that an ordinary restaurant waiter would never possess!
Shen Tang's expression changed drastically, and she immediately summoned several earthen walls, trapping the waiter inside like a cage.

The waiter realized he had been exposed. His expression suddenly turned sinister. He punched the earthen wall hard, then turned his hands into sharp claws and attacked her!
The two men's back-and-forth fighting nearly destroyed the restaurant.

The surrounding diners were terrified and scattered in all directions.

When the boss came downstairs and saw this scene, he almost fainted. Where did these two living fathers come from? Why did they start demolishing the house at the drop of a hat?

He and the other hotel staff didn't have time to think much; they quickly packed up and left, getting away from the battlefield.

The little cubs also took advantage of the chaos to run outside.

Fatty looked up and howled at the tree, as if it were some kind of signal.

As the wind rustled through the leaves, a tall and imposing figure was revealed hidden on the treetop.

Xiao Jin sat half-upright on the tree, one hand on the trunk, his cold, golden eyes fixed on the ground below, not missing a single sound.

On a rooftop not far away, two figures sat on either side of each other: Shen Li and Jia Lan.

The cries of eagles echoed from high above.

A majestic golden eagle led several flying orcs, circling high in the sky and surrounding the scene. Its sharp eagle eyes were like the most sensitive detectors, leaving no living creature with a place to hide.

The restaurant was surrounded on all sides, completely blocked, with everyone waiting to trap them.

Suddenly, Xiao Jin's eyes sharpened as he caught sight of Shen Tang running out of the restaurant.

The waiter followed closely behind her, his face grim, determined to kill her.

When the two were less than half a meter apart, the waiter's hands transformed into sharp claws, slashing down from the air and nearly piercing Shen Tang's back.

Xiao Jin leaped down, kicking the man several meters away.

The waiter scrambled to his feet, and upon seeing Xiao Jin, his face filled with terror. He turned and ran away.

The next second, foxfire swept past the orcs, turning into a wall of fire that blocked their path to survival.

Several whooshing sounds came, and sharp wind blades grazed the waiter's vital points, severing his left ear and spitting out a mist of blood.

"Ah!" He let out a shrill scream, his face contorted in agony, and pulled a bomb from his pocket as he endured the excruciating pain.

Xiao Jin rushed forward instantly and tackled him to the ground.

The bomb rolled from his hand to a spot not far away.

It was frozen into a lump of ice a second before it was about to ignite.

The waiter, head tilted to the side, eyes bloodshot, roared, "What are you doing! Attacking citizens of the city in the street! Is there no law in this world?!"

Xiao Jin pressed down on his battered and bleeding head, and sneered, "You've been arrested on the spot, and you're still trying to argue?"

The waiter vehemently denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about, let me go!"

He looked panicked and was trembling all over, truly resembling an innocent victim.

Jialan walked slowly over, holding the bomb, her voice clear and cold, "How could an ordinary restaurant waiter possibly carry something like this?"

Shen Li jumped down from the roof and walked towards Shen Tang, who was panting from running, and gently comforted her, "Are you alright?"

Shen Tang shook her head, "You arrived just in time. He wants to harm me, but it's not that simple!"

Shen Li pulled her into his arms, turned to look at the city lord who had led the team, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Please have the food this person is carrying sent for inspection, city lord."

The city lord nodded in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I have invited a professional drug inspector, and I will definitely give you an explanation!" Shi Ye also felt sorry for Shen Tang. He never expected that such things would happen again and again under his nose, putting her in danger several times.

Shen Tang was his wife's savior, so he took this matter very seriously!

However, when he personally took the vegetables to be examined, he found no trace of poison.

The city lord specifically asked them to examine the plate as well, but it still didn't show any signs of poison being applied to it.

This is just a very ordinary dish.

Now, everyone's expression turned grim. Could it be that they really arrested the wrong person?

The waiter broke down and yelled, "I already told you, I have no idea what you're talking about. I carry explosives with me because I had an enemy in the past, and I'm carrying something for self-defense."

"When I saw you were going to arrest me, I was so scared that I instinctively took out the explosives."

"You have no evidence, so let me go! Oh, and you have to pay my medical expenses!"

Shen Tang didn't believe the waiter was innocent; his fierce eyes and actions clearly indicated he wanted to kill her!

After she figured out what had happened, her heart sank. "The tableware...the tableware on the table hasn't been checked yet!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao quickly returned to the restaurant. With a wave of his hand, he carefully placed the tableware into an evidence bag and handed it to the city lord's men for inspection.

The waiter's expression froze instantly. He struggled violently as if he were in a frenzy, but was knocked unconscious by Xiao Jin's punch.

Soon, the city lord returned with a grim face and said in a deep voice, "The chopsticks have been poisoned!"

“He was very careful in where he poisoned the chopsticks, only applying the poison powder to the upper half, which is exactly where a person would touch it. This kind of deadly poison does not take effect immediately; it will take three hours for the body to gradually rot and die. There is no antidote.”

Shen Tang thought to herself, "Just as I thought!"
She often brings her cubs to restaurants, but the cubs don't know how to use chopsticks. She always uses chopsticks to help them put the food into their plates before serving it to them.

This person must have been observing her in the shadows for a long time and is familiar with her usage habits.

Three hours later, just as she finished eating and returned home to rest, she succumbed to the poison and died.

The cubs ate their food, but she died; there must be another reason.

She died quietly at home, and no one would suspect the restaurant, let alone him, an ordinary waiter.

Thus, the investigation went astray, making it even less likely that the real culprit would be found.

It is destined to be a perplexing mystery.

Shen Tang felt a chill run down her spine. The group's methods of killing were too sophisticated and impossible to guard against.

After regaining consciousness and realizing he had been exposed, the waiter turned pale and was about to commit suicide by poison.

Lu Xiao reacted quickly, grabbing his chin and forcing out the poison hidden under his tongue.

He said in a deep voice, "Take him back for questioning!"

The waiter was tied up and taken to jail for interrogation.

But this guy was clearly trained; his mouth was tight. No matter how many instruments of torture were used on him, even though he was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding, he couldn't get a single word out of him.

After Shen Tang walked over, he asked in a cold voice, "I only want to know one thing: why have you been so persistent in trying to assassinate me?"

The orc, hanging from the rack covered in blood, saw Shen Tang approaching. His eyes turned sinister and vicious, and he gave a strange smile. "If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for coming back!"

"You shouldn't have come back!"

"You should have died on the road, in a polluted area!"
