The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1222: The Trap Set with Tea

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: The Trap Set with Tea
The restaurant in the town is naturally not like the small storefronts in the city, it has a total of two floors.
It’s almost noon, yet there’s not a single person here.
"This way, please, both of you."
Lei Qinghai led the two of them all the way to a private room upstairs.
His respectful demeanor greatly satisfied Shen Shiyao.
"I didn’t expect Lei Qing to be so inconsiderate, yet his brother is quite reasonable, serving tea and offering cigarettes, what a waste of a brother."
"Is that so? You shouldn’t just judge things by their appearance."
Lin Yifan gave a mysterious smile and lowered his voice.
"What do you mean? You think this sincerity is not enough?"
Shen Shiyao asked with a puzzled face.
"This matter seems to be getting more interesting."
Lin Yifan looked at Lei Qinghai who came in, and didn’t say more.
Instead, Lei Qinghai poured tea for them with a smile.
"Regarding my brother, it’s really my lack of discipline, I apologize to both of you, I’m willing to double the compensation, please consider we are all fellow villagers and forgive him this time, I guarantee he won’t cause trouble in Taoyuan Village again."
Lei Qinghai raised a cup of tea and said respectfully.
"Since you put it that way, let’s drop the matter."
Lin Yifan didn’t raise his cup, he just smiled lightly.
"In that case, I’ll use tea to substitute for wine as an apology. If you forgive us, we’ll have a meal and then head back to the police station, how about that?"
Lei Qinghai threw back the tea from the cup in one gulp.
"Let’s bury the hatchet with this tea, shall we?"
He intentionally turned the tea cup upside down.
Shen Shiyao raised her cup and took a sip.
Lin Yifan smiled without a word, also sipped some tea, and then put it down.
"You two have a seat, I’ll go downstairs and order the dishes, I’ll be back soon."
After finishing his words, Lei Qinghai quickly left the room.
Instead, Shen Shiyao took the opportunity to pull Lin Yifan’s arm.
"What did you mean by interesting earlier?"
"I meant that there’s something interesting in the tea."
Lin Yifan suddenly opened his mouth and spat the tea he drank onto the floor.
This scene left Shen Shiyao stunned.
"The tea isn’t that bad, is it?"
Shen Shiyao puzzledly picked up her cup and examined it.
It was just ordinary tea, not particularly tasty, but not bad either.
"Don’t you taste a slight sweetness in it?"
"Now that you mention it, it is a bit sweet, what does that mean?"
Shen Shiyao licked her lips, indeed sensing a bit of sweetness.
"Because it’s laced with drugs."
Lin Yifan’s words made Shen Shiyao quickly stand up.
But trying to induce vomiting was too late.
A wave of dizziness struck, she felt weak all over, and slumped back into the chair.
Her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds; Shen Shiyao never imagined she would encounter this in broad daylight.
The feeling of powerlessness blurred her vision; she was on the verge of losing consciousness.
Suddenly, a coolness spread from between her brows to her entire body.
She shivered and immediately regained clarity.
"Why didn’t you say something earlier?"
Seeing Lin Yifan retract the silver needle, she couldn’t help but complain.
"Firstly, if I said something earlier, we wouldn’t know what he was up to, and secondly, it’s a lesson for you. While out, don’t drink tea offered by strangers, otherwise you never know what might happen next time."
Lin Yifan chuckled as he put the silver needle back into its box and tucked it into his pocket.
Such small tricks are nothing to him.
"What on earth is going on? I feel like such a fool."
Shen Shiyao pouted, looking at Lin Yifan with confidence.
Yet she hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
"Actually, I had no clear idea either. Remember last night at Liu Laoda’s house? Xiao Cui told me many strange things, namely her online romance story with Lei Qing. She said Lei Qing was very talkative online, especially knowledgeable about classical dance, not to mention the generosity in gifting a lot of good things."
This is what Xiao Cui told him this morning.
"The person even expressed the desire to escape their current life, saying that marrying him would mean applying to Shangjing Dance Academy and being financially supported for her studies, a dream come true, hence her running back to marry him. But upon meeting him, something seemed off, from his behavior to his conversation, unlike online."
"Could it be that the online person isn’t Lei Qing?"
Shen Shiyao blinked as she asked.
"Because they didn’t interact much before being retrieved, she’s not sure either, but the kid we saw last night is obviously a good-for-nothing. His trashy outfit isn’t worth even a grand, let alone being able to give out five or six grand in gifts, so something is definitely up."
Lin Yifan analyzed rationally.
"So how did you know Lei Qinghai would poison us?"
"Because he kept apologizing without mentioning Lei Qing getting his wrist broken by me, if it were your brother, no matter the mistake, he’d never ignore such a serious injury, and I noticed he kept glancing at you with mysterious eyes."
Lin Yifan’s words truly broadened Shen Shiyao’s horizons.
She never noticed these subtle details.
"Then let’s it to the police."
Shen Shiyao said, taking out her phone.
"No need, it’s obviously a setup, I’m sure the chief is nearby waiting for a big catch."
Lin Yifan gave a mysterious smile, just then the downstairs door opened.
Footsteps came, about seven or eight people.
At the front was Lei Qinghai, his voice filled with excitement.
"Wang, we’re going big this time, that girl’s a teacher we’ve been eyeing for teaching support, she’ll fetch a good price."
"Really? That’s great, but the guy’s tricky, are you sure they drank it?"
Behind him was Wang Tu, the one beaten a few days ago.
With eyes the size of copper bells, asking greedily.
"Of course, I’m certain they drank it, so I came to find you. I upped the dosage, even if he were a bull, he’d be as limp as noodles by now, we’re getting revenge and a windfall."
Lei Qinghai rubbed his hands together.
"Nice kid, you’re smart, remember brothers, go in and cripple his hands, show everyone what happens when they mess with me, but hands off the teacher, I couldn’t sleep with that village flower, but a teacher’s good enough, then swap for money after I’m done, then we’ll eat and drink on me."
Wang Tu felt parched and quickened his pace.
But when he slammed open the private room door, he found Lin Yifan and Shen Shiyao just sitting there.
"So it was a setup."
