Playing the Eighth Route Army, the system is forcing this on me?

I heard the chaos on set.

Yi Zhengzhen was able to turn around.

The light at the entrance was blocked by several tall figures, but he could still make out the faces of the two leaders.

Team Leader Liu, and Zhang Xiaoxue.

Yi Zheng's mind went blank.

what?

Why is it the two of you again?

He felt a throbbing sensation in his temple.

Is this ever going to end?

Did you manage to follow them all the way here when you had some free time?

When Li Sisi saw several familiar police officers in her live stream, the chat instantly became lively.

No, how old are you!

[I'm speechless. What kind of soap opera is this? They arrested people last night and they're back again today?]

[This isn't about arresting someone, it's about getting a free dose of inspirational quotes!]

Director Ning saw a room full of police officers rush in at once.

She has a temper that flares up more than anyone else's.

He had just thrown down the script and was about to explode when he couldn't understand why making a war film could attract the police.

"What are you doing?!"

Director Ning pointed to the door, spittle flying everywhere.

"Who let you in! We're filming! Don't you know the rules?!"

Zhang Xiaoxue walked through the crowd, straight up to Director Ning, and expressionlessly took out an ID from her pocket, flashing it in front of him.

"Police are investigating a case."

"We suspect that actor Yi Zheng added banned drugs to the chicken soup."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the pot of steaming chicken soup on the table.

"We need to collect evidence now; we want to take this pot of soup with us!"

"Please don't interfere with our investigation!"

Banned drugs?

Director Ning was stunned when he heard this word.

That's a sensitive word.

As someone who's been in the entertainment industry, he knows what he's doing.

If you stand by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Who knows, one of the actors might get it someday?

So, driven by instinctive suspicion, Director Ning, who was still simmering with anger, suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Xiaoxue's statement that she wanted to take the chicken soup with her was like a bolt from the blue for Commander Xue and Captain Wang.

What?

Chicken soup to go?

I haven't even gotten a sip yet!

Having lived this long, what delicacies haven't I eaten?

But they've never encountered anything that could make their mouths water just from the smell.

They haven't even seen the broth yet, and it's about to be confiscated?

If it gets confiscated, I won't even get a sip.

I'll never be able to close my eyes in peace when I die!

No, even if he dies, he can't shut up!

Only one thought remained in their minds.

drink!

No matter what, I absolutely have to have a sip today!

Captain Wang, no longer caring about the dignity of a veteran actor, stretched out his large, fan-like hand and grabbed at the casserole.

Commander Xue was quick to act; being closer, he picked up the pot on the table and tried to drag it toward himself.

"Don't move!"

The two were about to take a bite of the casserole.

Team Leader Liu waved his hand dismissively.

"There were accomplices too!?"

"They actually tried to destroy the evidence on the spot! Arrest them!"

"Yes, sir!" Several policemen on standby rushed forward, one on each side, and firmly pressed Captain Wang and Commander Xue's shoulders, pinning them to the octagonal table.

The table creaked under the weight.

"Let me go! I haven't broken the law!"

"Let me have a sip, just one sip!"

"When did drinking chicken soup become illegal?!"

Captain Wang, his cheek pressed against the greasy tabletop, was still struggling.

"What a terrible thing!" Commander Xue banged his forehead on the table in remorse, making a thud.

"I should have known better than to pretend! I should have just chugged it down!"

At this moment, all the professionalism of the actors and the dignity of the veteran actors were transformed into an endless longing and regret for that sip of soup.

Looking at the two accomplices who had been captured, Captain Liu confidently nodded to Zhang Xiaoxue.

If I can't get Yi Zheng investigated, can't I at least get the two of you investigated?

"Take them with you!"

……

Let's go back half an hour.

Outside Hengdian World Studios, inside an inconspicuous van.

Team Leader Liu and Zhang Xiaoxue were staring intently at the laptop screen in front of them.

On the screen was a live broadcast of Yi Zheng filming.

A video call window floated in the corner, showing a middle-aged man wearing glasses with a serious expression.

"How's it going, Lao Wang?"

Team Leader Liu pointed to Captain Wang on the screen, who was practically drooling.

"Can you see this clearly? The actor's reaction..."

On the other end of the video call, drug enforcement expert Lao Wang adjusted his glasses and observed carefully.

"Yes, I can see it clearly."

Old Wang's voice was a little hoarse.

He stared at the screen for a long time.

"Hiss... Captain Liu, this guy's mouth muscles are twitching involuntarily, his Adam's apple is bobbing too frequently, and there's that uncontrollable slurping sound..."

"What is that?" Zhang Xiaoxue pressed.

"Old Wang, does it look like it?"

"You know what, it really does look like it!" Old Wang nodded.

"It's like coming into contact with some kind of new synthetic compound."

"We've recently been tracking something codenamed 'Paradise,' which intensely stimulates specific areas of the brain, producing extreme pleasure and triggering excessive salivation."

"Most importantly, its effects can disregard human willpower; even professionally trained individuals cannot resist this physiological response."

Old Wang pointed to the screen at several veteran actors who had completely lost their composure.

"Look at them, drooling like that. Based on our data model, the amount of saliva in this soup might be quite large."

Zhang Xiaoxue and Captain Liu's expressions gradually became serious.

The two exchanged a glance.

Zhang Xiaoxue's palms were sweaty as she remembered that she had also drunk that bowl of soup yesterday.

"Old Wang... is this stuff... addictive?"

Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Old Wang in the video was silent for a moment.

"With such a large dose, direct contact... the possibility of addiction is extremely high."

"However, whether it becomes addictive depends on an individual's physical condition and mental resistance. Here, you two zoom in and stare at that pot of chicken soup."

Old Wang's voice became serious.

"Take a close look at your body and see if you still have any physiological urges or reactions."

Team Leader Liu and Zhang Xiaoxue exchanged a glance, both seeing tension in each other's eyes.

Team Leader Liu zoomed in on the live stream with the mouse, focusing on a close-up of Yi Zheng picking up the bowl of soup.

On the screen, the soup was golden yellow, steaming hot.

Yi Zheng raised his head.

Gudong.

Gudong.

The crisp sound of swallowing seemed to ring right next to my ears.

Inside the truck outside the screen.

Suck.

Suck.

Two suppressed sounds rang out simultaneously in the confined space.

Team Leader Liu and Zhang Xiaoxue froze.

They could clearly feel their mouths gushing with saliva, and their shirts were already damp with sweat.

The two slowly turned their heads and looked at each other in horror.

It turns out I wasn't a coward back then, always drooling.

It was Yi Zheng who actually poisoned her!

It's confirmed!

It tastes like a first-class merit award!

Team Leader Liu grabbed the walkie-talkie.

"Attention, Groups One and Two!"

"Take action immediately!"

"Take that pot of chicken soup away!"
