Chapter 351: Handle It Cleanly!
"Hey, this watermelon juice looks pretty good~"
But just as Li Huiqun's hand was about to touch the cup of watermelon juice, Lin Yi swiftly snatched it away.
Immediately, with a look of dissatisfaction, he said,
"Go on, didn't you bring the fruits? This juice is all mine."
After saying this, he grabbed both cups of watermelon juice in his hands.
Although he looked calm on the outside, only he knew the bitterness in his heart.
It was obvious that the watermelon juice for Li Huiqun was definitely poisoned as well.
Otherwise, how could the assassin ensure that the poisoned cup would end up in his hands?
Not only that, while taking the juice, Lin Yi quickly communicated with the system in his mind and commanded to extract the Antidote Pill from the System Space into his mouth.
In an instant, Lin Yi felt a refreshing sensation flow from his throat to his stomach, followed by an unprecedented sense of clarity and vitality:
"System! Can you identify what poison this is? Also, does the antidote pill I just took completely neutralize this poison? Will there be any side effects?"
Indeed, what Lin Yi wanted to know most at this moment was whether the poison would have any effects on his body.
After all, health is the most important asset, and having a healthy body is crucial.
The system's response gave him a peace of mind:
"Answer to the master's question:
According to the system's analysis, the drug component is mainly 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride', which is colorless and tasteless.
When ingested by humans and other mammals in doses exceeding 0.01 milligrams, brain death occurs after forty-eight hours.
When the poison takes effect, the 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride' in the body is absorbed by and disappears into the brain, mirroring symptoms of a normal cerebral embolism, potentially misleading doctors in determining the actual cause of death.
Furthermore, the system's products are always top-quality; the Universal Antidote provided by the system not only converts all ingested 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride' into nutrients needed by the human body, but also generates antibodies against 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride' in the master.
As long as the master consumes this Universal Antidote, even if the master eats 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride' like rice, there will be no side effects whatsoever!"
By the end, the system exuded an inexplicable confidence.
But for Lin Yi, hearing this instantly put him at ease.
As long as there was no impact on his body, it was fine. As for the transformation into nutrients, Lin Yi didn't think much of it.
Still, he couldn't help but praise the system for being awesome!
Relieved, Lin Yi unconsciously let a slight smile curl his lips.
Who would've thought, just arriving in a foreign country, someone would want him dead.
It seems he had been too naive.
After all, not every place is called Huaxia!
While continuing his mental conversation with the system, Lin Yi again picked up his watermelon juice and poured it into his mouth.
Gulp gulp~
Not only did he drink his own cup, but even the one he snatched from Li Huiqun went down his throat too.
This scene left Li Huiqun momentarily stunned, before he heaved a sigh of relief.
He sat down, looking sullen, and quietly said,
"Damn, so you really stole my juice, boss. Seeing your expression, I thought there was poison in it."
After saying this, Li Huiqun grabbed a piece of watermelon, preparing to take a bite.
But just as he picked it up, Lin Yi snatched it away, saying unceremoniously,
"Don't you have any sense? Can't you see your boss is sitting here? Come on, let the boss have the first bite."
With a big crunch, juice splattered everywhere.
Though sweetness filled his mouth, Lin Yi couldn't taste it at all.
At that moment, his attention was entirely focused on the system in his mind.
Although Li Huiqun's joke about the juice being poisoned was meant as humor, it was indeed the truth.
If they could poison the fruit juice, who knows if these maniacs would also poison the fruit itself?
Luckily, after Lin Yi swallowed the watermelon, there was no alert from the system in his mind.
This allowed him to let out a long sigh of relief.
However, his peculiar actions aroused Li Huiqun's suspicion, and while complaining, he picked up a piece of watermelon but didn't bite it.
Instead, he lowered his voice and asked,
"Did something happen, boss?"
Hearing Li Huiqun's question, Lin Yi was taken aback, not expecting him to notice something.
But that wasn't good; God knows if there were eyes watching him from the shadows.
And if Li Huiqun noticed, perhaps the person behind would notice too?
On second thought, it seemed unlikely. Apart from the initial delay in taking a bite, he'd acted normally.
The reason Li Huiqun noticed was simply due to his familiarity with Lin Yi.
So, while seemingly nonchalantly examining the watermelon, Lin Yi subtly nodded to confirm Li Huiqun's suspicion but discreetly shook his head, signaling him not to make a move.
Then he handed his partially eaten watermelon to Li Huiqun and snatched the one from his hand:
"Hehe, let's switch."
After saying this, he nodded at Li Huiqun again.
Seeing this, Li Huiqun complained but started taking big bites of the watermelon.
While they were eating watermelon, in a corner not far away, the waiter pressed the radio on his ear:
"Target one has consumed it, target two is unharmed."
Meanwhile, in another room, an elderly foreign man dressed in a white robe, with a red-checkered cloth on his head and a face full of wrinkles, received the report from his subordinates.
In front of him, there was also a monitor showing the scene at Lin Yi and Li Huiqun's table.
Watching them laugh and joke, the old man's expression turned solemn.
Finally, he sighed helplessly,
"Hehe, such a smart guy. Seems like you've figured something out. But I'm genuinely curious now to see what tricks you have left after ingesting 'Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride'. "
After muttering to himself, the old man waved to a subordinate nearby:
"Go, and make sure it's handled cleanly."
