Shi Qingqian looked at him as if he were a fool: "Rabbit? Can it eat braised pork and spare ribs?"

"Of course not."

Boss Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Shi Qingqian.

A trace of surprise surged in his heart. How dare this woman look at him with such an expression and talk to him so bluntly.

He slowly put down the kitchen utensils in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Shi Qingqian step by step.

As he approached, a sense of oppression came over me.

Shi Qingqian's heart tightened slightly, but she tried hard to keep her expression steady and not show any fear.

Boss Lei stood in front of Shi Qingqian, looking down at her condescendingly.

There was scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of danger.

Shi Qingqian met his gaze and said without flinching, "Why should I be afraid of you? You are willing to take me in until my uncle comes back, and you can cook. You are a good person."

She calmly gave him a kind-hearted card.

The corner of Boss Lei's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was surprised by her answer.

In Yangjia Village, everyone's fear of him has already penetrated into their bones. Not to mention women and children, even men tremble when they see him. One reason is because of his cruel methods, and the other is because of his dying appearance.

This woman is different.

Boss Lei's gaze lingered on Shi Qingqian's face for a moment, then slowly moved away.

"Hmph, you don't know how to live or die," Boss Lei snorted coldly, but he felt a little more curious about this woman in his heart.

He turned back to the kitchen and continued to work as if the previous incident had never happened.

Shi Qingqian looked at his back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that her action just now was very risky, but she also understood that if she wanted to gain Boss Lei's trust, she couldn't always act timidly.

The kitchen was still filled with heat, and Boss Lei's figure was looming in the smoke.

Shi Qingqian continued to eat, but was thinking about what to do next.

She must find an opportunity as soon as possible, use the illusion pill to cure Boss Lei's illness and gain his trust, so as to buy more time to rescue the children.

While Shi Qingqian was eating the delicious meal, she was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

At this moment, Boss Lei suddenly spoke again: "After eating, wash the dishes."

Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, then nodded.

He quickly finished the last few bites of food, then stood up and started clearing the dishes.

After washing the dishes, Shi Qingqian wiped her hands and walked to Boss Lei.

"You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" she asked softly.

As soon as his illness was mentioned, Boss Lei's expression immediately turned fierce, and he grabbed Shi Qingqian's neck.

His hands clamped tightly like an iron clamp, making it difficult for Shi Qingqian to breathe.

"Who told you to mention my illness? Who do you think you are? How dare you try to pry into my weaknesses!"

Boss Lei's eyes were burning with anger, and his voice was as cold as if it came from hell.

Shi Qingqian's face turned red. She struggled desperately but couldn't break free from Boss Lei's restraints.

A wave of panic welled up in her, but she knew she couldn't panic at this moment.

He could only speak with difficulty: "Let...let me go...I have no ill intentions."

Boss Lei showed no intention of letting go, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"You'd better not have any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise I will make you die miserably."

Shi Qingqian tried hard to stay calm, her brain working rapidly, thinking about how to resolve the crisis in front of her.

Suddenly, an idea struck her: "I...I really just care about you. I know a medicine that may be able to alleviate your condition."

Boss Lei was slightly startled, and the strength of his hands loosened a little: "What did you say?"

Shi Qingqian took the opportunity to breathe in the air, and then hurriedly said: "I know some medical skills. I can tell from your face that your illness is very serious. I have a medicine that may help you."

Boss Lei was silent for a moment, as if thinking about her words.

Finally, he slowly loosened his hand, his eyes still full of vigilance.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you will regret coming into this world."

Shi Qingqian rubbed her neck which was pinched and hurt, and started cursing in her heart.

"Scold me in your heart?"

Shi Qingqian was shocked. She had not expected Boss Lei to be so perceptive. She quickly forced a smile and said, "No, how dare I scold you? I was just thinking about how to help you heal your illness."

Boss Lei snorted coldly, obviously not believing her words: "That's better, where is the medicine you mentioned?"

Shi Qingqian calmed herself down and said, "The medicine is in my room. I'll get it now." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave the kitchen.

"Stop!" Boss Lei stopped her, "I'll go with you."

Shi Qingqian secretly groaned in her heart, but she did not dare to disobey Boss Lei's orders.

She brought Boss Lei to the room and took out an illusion pill from the box she brought.

"This is it," Shi Qingqian handed the Illusion Pill to Boss Lei, "This is a secret medicine passed down from my ancestors. It has miraculous effects on many difficult and complicated diseases. You can try it."

Boss Lei took the illusion pill and observed it carefully.

His eyes were full of doubt, yet seemed to hold a hint of anticipation: "Is this medicine really effective?"

Shi Qingqian nodded quickly and said, "Of course it works."

Boss Lei took the bottle, poured out a pill from it and handed it to Shi Qingqian.

"Eat it," Boss Lei's voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for doubt.

He stared at Shi Qingqian closely, as if he would kill her immediately if she hesitated for a moment.

Shi Qingqian's brain was working rapidly. She knew that if she didn't take this pill, Boss Lei would definitely not believe her, and all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, she had asked A Miao in advance, and she would be fine after taking the illusion pill.

Shi Qingqian slowly reached out and took the pill.

"What? You don't dare to eat it?" Boss Lei narrowed his eyes.

The moment the medicine entered his throat, Boss Lei looked at Shi Qingqian as she swallowed the medicine, and his expression eased a little.

He continued to observe Shi Qingqian, waiting for the effect of the medicine to show.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Boss Lei saw that Shi Qingqian did not show any abnormal reaction, his suspicion about the medicine was slightly reduced.

"Is this medicine really as magical as you said?" he asked.

Shi Qingqian nodded quickly and said, "This medicine will take some time to take effect. You can try it first. If it works, you can continue to take it. Even if it doesn't work, it won't harm your body anyway."

Boss Lei was silent for a moment, then put the medicine bottle away.

"If there's something wrong with this medicine, you know the consequences," he warned.

Shi Qingqian's heart trembled, and she said, "I won't lie to you."
