"Second Master Jiang! You must do us justice!"

He didn't drink a drop, yet he accused us of drugging his drink—that's clearly a scam!

Wang Dakun scrambled to the table, his knees scraping the ground.

His hands trembled, his fingertips turned white, and he held the wine bottle tightly, handing it to Jiang Qingtian.

Her cheeks were taut, wrinkles of grievance forming on her face; her throat tightened, and her voice trembled with a sob.

Jiang Qilin took a step forward, his chest tensing.

His eyes flashed with hostility as he stared intently at Lu Xuan, his tone filled with resentment:

"Second Uncle, he's deliberately picking a fight; he just wants to humiliate the Jiang family!"

Zhao Xiaokun suddenly straightened his back, stiffened his neck, and poked Lu Xuan's nose with his fingertips.

Her voice was high-pitched and her shouts were shrill.

"Kid, you're finished! Second Master Jiang is here. Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"

"How dare you run wild on the Jiang family's territory! Today we'll skin you alive!"

All eyes turned to him, and hushed whispers filled his ears.

His tone was flippant, full of disdain, and laced with sarcasm:

"Yeah, he didn't even drink any alcohol, yet he said there was something wrong with the alcohol. That's ridiculous."

"They look respectable, but they're just trying to scam people. Too bad they picked the wrong target!"

"Daring to extort money from the Jiang family? Isn't that like provoking a tyrant—courting death?"

Jiang Qingtian stood still, his gaze sharp as a blade, fixed intently on Lu Xuan.

The air pressure suddenly dropped, the air felt stuffy, and even breathing became difficult.

He spoke in a deep, resonant voice that made my eardrums tingle slightly.

"Young man, always speak with evidence. You haven't even tasted this wine, so what makes you say it's poisonous?"

Lu Xuan stood still, his gaze fixed ahead, unmoving.

His expression was indifferent, his eyes were expressionless, and his tone was completely flat.

Some things don't need to be eaten.

Wang Dakun rolled his eyes, chuckled, and curled his lips in disdain.

The voice rose, filled with disdain:

"What? No need to put it in your mouth? Listen to what you're saying, is that even human language?"

Jiang Qilin crossed his arms, slumped his shoulders, and let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with contempt:

"You can tell just by looking at me and smelling me? Do you think you're a god?"

Zhao Xiaokun stepped forward, taking advantage of the situation, and shouted loudly:

"If you can't produce evidence, don't expect this to end well today!"

"The Jiang family's gate is not a place for Tom, Dick, or Harry to run wild!"

Lu Xuan's gaze remained fixed, his tone calm, yet each word carried a resolute force:

"I can tell the composition of everything in the world at a glance, and I can know its toxicity by a single smell."

Jiang Qingtian's eyes darkened, his jaw tightened, and he said coldly:

"Very well! This is the first time I, Jiang Qingtian, have encountered such an arrogant person!"

Hey, someone come here and test the alcohol on the spot!

If there's really a problem, the Jiang family will apologize to you;

If this is defamation, don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Go ahead and test it."

Lu Xuan parted his thin lips slightly and uttered two words softly.

His posture remained upright, without the slightest sign of panic, as if the surrounding noise was completely isolated from him.

Wang Dakun's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, soaking his hair.

With hurried steps, he rushed forward to stop him, his voice trembling and his tone distorted:

"Second Master Jiang! No! He's just spouting nonsense, how can you believe him!"

Jiang Qilin felt a pang of panic, his expression anxious, and he quickly stepped forward, his tone urgent:

"Second Uncle, stop wasting time talking to him, just break his legs and throw him out!"

Zhao Xiaokun echoed in unison, his voice shrill:

"Exactly! Second Master Jiang, this kid is deliberately causing trouble. Just throw him out; don't let him sully your eyes!"

Jiang Qingtian's eyes suddenly sharpened, his gaze turning icy cold, and he let out a cold shout, his voice booming like thunder:

"Shut up!"

Wang Dakun deliberately trembled, pretending to be frightened and weak-kneed, his hands swaying wildly and his fingertips shaking violently, before slipping away.

Clang!

The wine bottle hit the marble floor and shattered.

The amber-colored liquor flowed out, and a pungent odor suddenly filled the nasal cavity, making people frown.

Wang Dakun deliberately trembled, squeezed his eyes to redden, and pinched his throat to feign a sob, pretending to be flustered and making a false explanation:

"I'm so sorry... I was just too nervous, I didn't hold it properly and accidentally broke it..."

Zhao Xiaokun's eyes darted around, and he moved closer to Jiang Qilin, turning to Lu Xuan with a sarcastic sneer:

"Consider yourself lucky! The bottle broke, so there's no evidence. Otherwise, I would have made you regret it today!"

The scene fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop, and even breathing was so faint it was almost imperceptible.

Jiang Qingtian's gaze swept coldly across the room, his expression somber. He immediately spoke, attempting to quell the situation:

"The wine is broken; further investigation is pointless. This matter ends here. You may leave; the Jiang family will not pursue this further."

Lu Xuan watched coldly and immediately knew that Wang Dakun had deliberately smashed the wine bottle.

Jiang Qingtian, that old fox, clearly saw through everything and only wanted to go with the flow and suppress the matter.

Lu Xuan took a light step forward, his posture as steady as a rock.

His tone was indifferent, yet carried an undeniable authority; his voice clearly resonated throughout the room.

"The bottle is broken, the shards are still there, and the wine is still there. Nobody's leaving until we get to the bottom of this."

Jiang Qingtian's expression turned cold, and his aura surged as he was about to speak.

Just then, a figure with an air of 'embracing all rivers' strode out, her steps steady yet alluring.

Ignoring Jiang Qingtian's disapproving look, she reached into the medical kit, opened it, and took out a silver-gray pen-shaped detector.

The pen tip lightly touched the wine stain on the ground, the instrument emitted a faint hum, and the screen slowly lit up.

A few seconds later, the clear small print appeared:

"Test results: Contains a high concentration of potent synthetic aphrodisiac, with a dosage sufficient to cause infatuation and delirium."

She raised her eyes, her gaze calm, looking directly at Jiang Qingtian, her tone steady and unwavering:

"Second Master Jiang, this is not ordinary wine, it's a potent sleeping potion."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into complete silence. Everyone froze in place, and no one uttered a sound.

Wang Dakun's face changed drastically, all color drained from his eyes, and he became hysterical, his voice shrill and screaming:

"Who are you? Mind your own business here!"

When did our Jiang family ever have someone like you?

Did you make a mistake in your verification?!

Jiang Qingtian's face darkened, and he rebuked sharply, his tone authoritative:

"Do not be rude to Dr. Xia Zhiwei!"

Jiang Qilin was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself, full of doubt:

"Xia Zhiwei... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"

Zhao Xiaokun quickly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and urgently reminded him:

"Boss, that's the beautiful and amazing doctor who's recently become the talk of the town! Her medical skills are incredible!"

Jiang Qilin's gaze instantly fixed on Xia Zhiwei, not shifting for a moment.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, a flash of undisguised amazement crossed his eyes, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he blurted out:

"She has a great figure."

Xia Zhiwei's expression turned slightly cold. She looked up at him, her tone cool and clear, each word distinct:

"What did you say?"

Jiang Qilin panicked instantly, his cheeks flushed red, his eyes darted around nervously, and he hurriedly changed his words, stammering:

"I said the clouds are so big, and the sky is so white!"

Xia Zhiwei frowned, her eyes filled with disdain, and she coldly rebuked:

"lecher!"

Jiang Qilin clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

He raised his hand and loosened his tie, his neck tense.

He feigned composure, but a lingering malice lurked in his eyes.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he gritted his teeth, thinking to himself:

Hmph, you bastard, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? I'll get my hands on you sooner or later!

The onlookers erupted in a clamor of astonishment and exclamations.

"Xia Zhiwei! She's the rising star doctor! Wow, she has such a great figure!"

"I heard she's incredibly skilled in medicine. I thought she'd be an old lady, but I never expected her to be so young and beautiful!"

"If the miracle doctor says there's a problem, then it can't be false. There's definitely something wrong with this wine. Anyway, I believe what the miracle doctor says!"

Wang Dakun trembled all over, turned to face Lu Xuan, his face contorted with rage, and launched a frenzied counterattack:

"It was you! You must have framed my Jiang family! You're a business spy sent by our rivals!"

You drugged the drink beforehand and then deliberately caused trouble.

"It's all to frame the Jiang family and ruin our hotel's reputation!"

Lu Xuan slowly shook his head, his gaze icy, his tone frigid and devoid of any warmth:

"The Jiang family is so shameless."

Zhao Xiaokun's face flushed red, his eyes widened in anger, and he shouted angrily:

"What did you say? You dare to insult the Jiang family? You're asking for death!"

The onlookers shook their heads and uttered sarcastic remarks with disdain.

"Yes, they got caught drugging someone, and then they tried to frame me!"

"If this continues, who would dare to eat here in the future!"

Jiang Qingtian's face was ashen, veins bulging, and his gaze swept fiercely towards Wang Dakun as he angrily rebuked him:

"Even now, you still dare to argue!"

Wang Dakun's legs went weak, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Her eyes darted around, stealing glances at Jiang Qilin, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Yes……"

Jiang Qilin glared at him fiercely, his eyes icy, signaling him to shut up.

Zhao Xiaokun quickly stepped forward to chime in, turning to Wang Dakun and sternly rebuking him, feigning to distance himself from the situation:

"Wang Dakun, are you envious of other people having pretty girls treat them to meals?"

So, driven by jealousy, he did this foolish thing!
