Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

"Just as I suspected, Zou Li had been drugged with hallucinogenic drugs. These drugs, once injected into the body, can make people extremely volatile and lose control of their emotions."

Gao Yang carefully examined the data on the blood test report, looked at the time of the blood draw, and nodded.

It was 10:30 in the morning, exactly the time Zou Li was taken to the police station. If it had been a little later, he would have been completely wiped out, leaving no trace.

He placed the report in front of Zou Li, pointed to the column of medications, and let Zou Li look at it himself.

It was only then that Zou Li realized that he hadn't been bitten by mosquitoes that morning, but rather pricked by a needle, and that the shadowy figure was the person who had injected him with the medication.

"This kind of drug is unavailable; only someone as rich as Qin Wanshan could probably get his hands on it. It seems he really wants you to die."

Gao Yang's voice echoed in Zou Li's mind like a thunderclap.

Zou Li froze on the spot, his mind going completely blank.

He always thought that he could survive by listening to Qin Wanshan, but he never expected that Qin Wanshan only wanted to turn him into a killing tool and did not care about his life or death at all.

He lay slumped in the interrogation chair, his body ice-cold.

He was overwhelmed by immense fear and remorse.

He could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have been greedy, I shouldn't have hurt people, I deserve to die!"

"That beast Qin Wanshan did it on purpose! He's playing me for a fool, pushing me to the brink of despair!"

Gu Jingzhou was so angry that he trembled all over and slammed his hand on the table in front of him.

"Damn it, Qin Wanshan is utterly depraved. He used hallucinogenic drugs to harm people in order to manipulate the competition, and he disregarded human life. It is a disgrace to the catering industry to have someone like him."

Xu Qinyun's face was also ashen, and she practically forced out the words through clenched teeth.

"What a brilliant tactic! A clever way to kill someone else's murder. They avoid getting their hands dirty and can get away with it afterward. This kind of person must be severely punished!"

Gao Yang also had a grim face. Although he had found evidence and clues, it would probably take some effort to catch him and get him to confess.

He looked toward the police station next to him.

"As you've heard, we now have both witnesses and physical evidence to fully prove Qin Wanshan's crimes of intentional assault and illegal use of hallucinogenic drugs. Can we apply for his arrest?"

The police station also realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded.

"I'll seek approval from my superiors immediately. As key witnesses, will you come with us or wait for us at the station?"

"We'll go with you."

Gao Yang's tone was firm and unwavering.

He had to see Qin Wanshan brought to justice with his own eyes.

He wanted to make this person receive the punishment he deserved, and also to give Steven, who was lying in bed, an explanation.

Gu Jingzhou and Xu Qinyun exchanged a glance.

"We'll go with them, so we can look out for each other if anything happens."

Gao Yang looked at their determined faces and nodded.

Soon, based on Zou Li's testimony, the two groups headed towards the farm on the outskirts of the city.

Inside the farm.

Qin Wanshan lay on the large bed, with a blonde beauty lying next to him.

"Wow, Mr. Qin, you're amazing! You killed that old guy so quickly. We've made a killing this time."

The blonde beauty didn't look Chinese at all, and at that moment she excitedly pounced on Qin Wanshan.

Qin Wanshan was immediately filled with vanity and raised his hand to give himself a thumbs up.

"Of course! Look at who I am. Do you think I'm bad? Even if ten more of those old guys came, I'd still have a way to take them down."

"As for Gao Yang, it's a pity we didn't kill him this time. It seems we'll have to find another opportunity next time."

He smacked his lips with a hint of regret.

The blonde beauty chuckled, her movements becoming increasingly coy.

"Oh dear, Mr. Qin, what are you saying? This guy named Gao Yang, he must like women, right? I'll help you solve this."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanshan was overjoyed.

"Alright, alright, my little sister, you handle this. I trust you. I'll give you a big red envelope after it's done."

They both laughed, snuggling in each other's arms, their temperature rising, and their movements becoming increasingly bold.

Just at this time.

With a loud bang, the bedroom door was suddenly kicked open.

"Don't move!"

In an instant, six or seven police officers rushed in, guns in hand.

The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed at Qin Wanshan, which terrified him so much that he immediately sat up in bed.

The beautiful woman next to him froze for a moment before screaming loudly.

"Shut up!"

The sudden shout startled Qin Wanshan.

Fearing the bullet would hit him, Qin Wanshan turned around and slapped the woman across the face, shouting, "Stupid woman, don't you see what's going on? You want to die, but I don't!"

He then turned to face the police station with a somewhat ingratiating smile.

"Hey officers, why didn't you say hello before coming here? We're all on the same side."

"Is there something wrong with me? Tell me, I know someone above you, let's just let this go."

"My relationship with this woman was entirely consensual; there was no monetary transaction, and I didn't engage in any promiscuous behavior."

He glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye, giving her a warning.

The woman was stunned by the beating, shrinking to one side of the bed, covering her head and remaining silent.

Even now, Qin Wanshan still believes that he was brought to the police station because of this issue.

None of the police officers said a word.

Qin Wanshan sensed that something was wrong.

Just then, Gao Yang walked in.

"Oh, it's a pity, Boss Qin, you didn't kill me."

He whistled and looked at Qin Wanshan with a smile.

After Qin Wanshan clearly saw who it was, he slowly lowered his raised hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You little bastard, you dare bring men to arrest me? Don't you know who my superiors are?"

"You think you can just quit cooking? You're asking for trouble!"

His words carried a strong sense of threat.

Gao Yang slowly withdrew his smile, his eyes now filled with cold indifference.

"Qin Wanshan, I underestimated you before. I failed to take you down in Yuncheng, and now you've come all the way to Yicheng. The formula you gave Zou Li, was it Kawasaki Yuki's?"

"But these are all minor matters. What I shouldn't have done was use hallucinogenic drugs to harm me."

A strong killing intent surfaced in Gao Yang's eyes.

Qin Wanshan was startled, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it, how did he know about this? Wasn't Zou Li in jail? According to the timeline, he should have been metabolized by now."

He kept calculating the time in his mind, his eyes darting around, and then his expression immediately changed.

"Gao Yang, I know there's been a little misunderstanding between us, but you can't use this to slander me. I'm a businessman with a conscience; how could I do such a thing?"

"Besides, hallucinogenic drugs are explicitly prohibited by the state. How could I possibly get them? Only some people with connections and influence could possess them."

Qin Wanshan's words were very clever; they were a warning to Gao Yang not to pursue the matter further, as he couldn't afford the consequences of a complete falling out.

Gao Yang did not speak.

Qin Wanshan thought he was scared, so he put on a smile again.

"Oh, look at this mess, it's all a misunderstanding, isn't it? We're like family, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

After saying that, he was about to put on his clothes and get out of bed.

Suddenly, another voice came from the doorway.

"Wait, who gave you permission to move?"

The voice was old and extremely dignified.

Qin Wanshan's face showed deep displeasure.

"Damn it, who dares to mess with me now?"

He cursed angrily and looked up.

The next moment his face turned pale.

"Mr. Gu, what brings you here?"
