Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Casio's reminder was a bit too late. Before he could remind him, Rick, an employee, had already taken a bite of his cake. However, Casio's reminder prevented him from swallowing the cake immediately; it just lingered in his mouth.

Similarly, when Casio said something was wrong with the cake, he also sensed a strong and spicy flavor that was different from the cake's rich and sweet taste.

Realizing this, he immediately spat out the cake in his mouth.

But it was too late. His mouth and tongue felt like they were being burned by fire, the pain was unbearable, and the stinging pain shot straight to his head, almost making him faint.

Casio immediately dragged him to the sink, turned on the tap, and urged, "Rinse your mouth, don't drink the water."

Rick's head was spinning. He listened to Casio's words and let the cold tap water rinse his mouth. The cold tap water instantly made his burning mouth feel much better.

Seeing Rick's reaction, the other restaurant staff were so frightened that they immediately put down their cakes. They stared at the cakes warily, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

Their eyes all fell on Qi Yuan, waiting for his handling and reaction.

Qi Yuan also realized something was wrong with the cake. He leaned over and sniffed it, noticing a strong odor amidst the cake's sweet smell. He looked at the employee who brought the cake in and asked, "Who delivered this cake?"

"No, I didn't see his face clearly. He was covering most of his face with a scarf and said he was the owner of a nearby shop." The employee who brought in the cake spoke with a trembling voice. He never imagined that such a delicious-looking cake could be poisoned.

“Mr. Qi Yuan, let’s go home first. I’m worried they might have a backup plan,” Asha reminded him.

Qi Yuan knew what Asha meant by that. "Take a day off today. Casio, is Rick in danger?"

“It’s mostly fine now,” Casio replied, “but it’s best to go to the hospital to get it checked out.”

“You guys take Rick to the hospital. Casio, come here for a second,” Qi Yuan said.

Casio obediently walked up to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan looked into his gray-blue eyes and said, "You know what I want to ask, so do you want me to ask, or do you want me to say it first?"

“My father is a doctor, and I learned suturing from him. I also learned about many kinds of medicine. A new kind of medicine called ‘Fire’ has been sprinkled in the cake. This medicine will cause symptoms such as burning in the mouth and abdominal pain after the user takes it. If too much of this medicine is taken, it will cause intestinal ulceration, causing the user to suffer great pain before death.”

Asa's expression turned serious the moment he saw Casio. Qi Yuan, upon hearing his explanation, didn't seem too surprised. He asked, "Why didn't you become a doctor?"

"I hate seeing intestines and internal organs; they make me want to vomit."

"Can you tolerate being cut into meat?"

"Human flesh is different from beef, both in terms of texture and color."

When Casio calmly uttered those words, Qi Yuan felt a chill run down his spine; for the first time, he was unable to remain calm in the face of Casio's words.

The texture and color are different. Does this mean that Casio once actually cut real human flesh?

He looked at Casio again. Although Casio had a frightening scar on his face, he looked very young.

Based on Qi Yuan's assessment of Casio's appearance and age, Casio at that age would be a freshman in medical school in his world, very young.

Judging from Casio's analysis of beef and human flesh, it seems he has become accustomed to cutting open the human body.

This comparison was quickly shaken off Qi Yuan's mind; he couldn't compare this world with the world he was once familiar with.

The two worlds seem similar yet have many differences; even the smallest differences are enough to give him a lot of thought.

"Can you still work at the restaurant?" Qi Yuan asked.

Casio nodded. "As long as you don't mind me, boss."

"It's not easy for a restaurant to hire employees. Your knife skills are the best among the chefs. If you still want to work here, then continue. But if you ever decide to quit, remember to let me know."

"Ok."

Qi Yuan looked at the other employees and said, "Take a day off today. The meat that has already been cut will be your lunch and dinner today. Be more careful about what others give you in the future, and don't eat it casually."

The employees nodded like obedient children.

Qi Yuan asked Asha to pack some dumplings to take home, since the shop wasn't open today, there was no need to continue making dumplings.

I left the restaurant and got into the car.

Qi Yuan quietly looked at the scenery outside the window. There were very few people on the street at this time. To protect themselves from the wind and snow, every pedestrian wore a hat and covered most of their face with a scarf.

Back at Davis's house, Noah played with Patty in the yard.

He made a lot of money these past two days, but yesterday's unpleasant family gathering made him decide to take a good half-day rest today.

Of course, during his break, he also decided to play the role of a good uncle.

However, Qi Yuan's car returned earlier than expected.

Seeing the car return, Noah and Petty stood aside waiting for Qi Yuan to get out of the car.

When Petty saw Qi Yuan, she immediately ran over to him.

"Auntie, you're back so soon! Did you bring me dumplings?"

"Bring it."

"Great! I want to eat it now!"

"I'll do it for you."

Noah was about to ask, after Qi Yuan finished dealing with Petty, "Didn't you say you'd be back in two hours? Why are you back so early?"

Before he could even speak, Asa walked up to Noah with a somber expression.

"Master, I have something to report."

"what's up?"

"Someone sent Mr. Qi Yuan a poisoned cake."

Upon hearing this, Noah's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes immediately sharpened.

"Mr. Qi Yuan doesn't like cake, so he gave it to the restaurant staff. One of the staff members immediately showed symptoms of poisoning after eating it. However, there was another staff member whose identity was a bit strange."

"Who has a strange identity?"

"His name was Casio Illier. He had gray-blue eyes and a large burn scar on his face. He said his father was a doctor, that he knew a lot about medicine, and that he knew the difference between human flesh and beef."

Noah's expression turned solemn once more.

He knew who Casio was; Casio stood out among the restaurant staff with his grey-blue eyes and large burn scars on his face.

Noah couldn't help but notice him, but he never expected that such a person would know about medicine.

"He was the first to notice something was wrong with the cake," Asa added.

The fact that he could detect something was wrong with the cake immediately means that he knew what kind of medicine was put in it. Most medicines taste similar, and in hospitals, medicines are often mixed together, creating a different smell.

Casio's ability to immediately identify the drug in the cake suggests that he is frequently exposed to that drug, enabling him to recognize it so quickly.
