Chapter 271: Chapter 0271: The Psychopath Who Snatched a Burger

"How could he not be poisoned? Could it be that he has already taken an antidote?"

Mei Dufeng scratched his head and followed behind Tang Ming and the others, fretting internally: "Could it be that he took the antidote in advance? That’s not very likely, he didn’t know he would be poisoned. Has he finished the antidote? Impossible, he only licked the ice cream and didn’t eat anything else. After we go back, the ice cream must be thoroughly tested."

When night fell, Tang Ming and his two companions finally returned to the villa after strolling all afternoon, and the little food Tang Ming had eaten was almost completely digested.

"Hurry up and eat dinner, I’m going to die!"

The moment Tang Ming entered the door, he clutched his stomach and wailed as if on his deathbed.

"Got it, Uncle Quan is already preparing the food."

Liu Mengting glared at Lin Feng with irritation.

"Poisoned to death?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan and Mei Dufeng, who had separately snuck into the villa and were hiding outside a window, both became excited, thinking that the Myriad Poison Pill had finally taken effect.

Mei Dufeng carefully peeked through the window slit, and upon seeing Tang Ming clutching his stomach, screaming in pain on the couch, he tensed up immediately.

If the poison had indeed taken effect, then Tang Ming, if he did not want to die, would surely eat the antidote, and Mei Dufeng had to snatch the item before the opponent could take it.

Elsewhere, Shen Yan was also quite pleased with Tang Ming’s condition, contemplating internally: At last, the mission would be completed. Although the Myriad Poison Pill from Poison Sect wasn’t as miraculous as boasted, it finally showed more effect than the previous poisons.

"Sister Meng Meng, Brother Tang Ming looks so pitiful, why don’t you give him a burger to fill his stomach first?"

Looking at Tang Ming’s miserable appearance, Li Xiaoli shouted to Liu Mengting, who was getting milk from the fridge.

"Yes, yes, yes, give me a burger quick—save me!"

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, looking at Liu Mengting with a pity-inducing gaze.

"Really hopeless!"

Liu Mengting shook her head helplessly and threw a burger at Tang Ming.

With a clang, just as the burger flew through the air, Mei Dufeng burst through the window, caught the burger, stuffed it into his pocket, and then dashed for the exit.

This time, Tang Ming clearly saw the intruder’s movement technique and recognized him as Mei Dufeng from Poison Sect. He had thought the other party was there to deal with him, but it turned out he was there to steal something.

"Damn it!"

It didn’t matter who the intruder was, Tang Ming completely lost it, erupted in speed, grabbed Mei Dufeng’s collar from behind, and with a mighty pull, slammed him to the ground.

"You old swindler, daring to steal my food, are you tired of living?"

Tang Ming kicked Mei Dufeng, who was on the ground, and bellowed furiously, "Give me the burger, or I’ll kill you!"

Knowing now that the man was Mei Dufeng, Tang Ming didn’t hold back at all, unleashing a furious barrage of punches and kicks.

"I won’t give it up, you can kill me but I won’t hand it over!"

Seeing how desperate Tang Ming was for the burger, Mei Dufeng was sure it must contain the Detoxification Pill; he couldn’t just easily relinquish what he had so difficultly acquired.

"If you don’t give it to me, I’ll kill you!"

Tang Ming, also furious, raised his fist ready to deal a harsh blow and incapacitate Mei Dufeng first.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a quiet woman in professional attire, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, rushed into the villa and shouted anxiously, "Please spare my father!"

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"

Liu Mengting eyed the newcomer warily; her home was almost turning into a grand hotel, with people freely coming in.

"Yeah, who are you?"

Tang Ming stepped on Mei Dufeng’s chest, angrily saying, "This old hag keeps stealing my stuff time and again, really thinks I’m easy to bully, huh!"

"Sorry, sorry, my father has intermittent mental illness, he just loves to snatch things from others when it strikes."

Shen Yan quickly came forward to apologize, cursing in her heart: "What the hell is that old idiot from the Poison Sect doing, actually running to Tang Ming’s house to steal burgers, couldn’t Poison Sect people ever have eaten burgers? There’s no need to snatch them from Tang Ming’s hand, isn’t that asking for a beating?"

Originally waiting for Tang Ming to succumb to poisoning, Shen Yan did not expect Mei Dufeng to cause trouble in Tang Ming’s house, but seeing Mei Dufeng being abused, she couldn’t just stand by. She had to disguise herself, to get Mei Dufeng out of trouble, otherwise with Tang Ming’s personality, it was really possible he would beat Mei Dufeng to death.

"Daughter, why have you come, save me, quick!"

Seeing Shen Yan, the bruised and swollen Mei Dufeng called out incomprehensibly; in just a short while, Tang Ming had turned him into a pig-head, several of his already loose teeth knocked out, but... he was still in a surprisingly good mood.

"Sir, for the sake of my father being old and sick, please spare him."

Shen Yan sincerely looked at Tang Ming, pleading.

"No way, if the old guy doesn’t give me the burger, I’ll kill him."

Tang Ming shouted hatefully.

"I’d rather die than give it."

Mei Dufeng was even more determined, posing as if he’d rather die than submit.

"It’s just a burger, I’ll order takeout right now, have the hotel deliver a table full of cooked meals to make amends."

Shen Yan quickly took out her phone to call for delivery, wondering to herself: "Was that burger made of diamonds, to cause such a huge conflict?"

"That’s more like it!"

Only when he heard of a free feast, did Tang Ming let go of Mei Dufeng.

"Father, are you alright?"

Shen Yan rushed to help Mei Dufeng up.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, thank you so much."

Mei Dufeng actually grinned, but his smile, mixed with blood and broken teeth, on top of his bruised and swollen face, looked particularly comical.

Shen Yan’s mouth twitched, cursing in her heart, "This old madman, getting beaten up like this and still able to smile, could he really be insane?"

Mei Dufeng was indeed very happy now, having managed to get a Detoxification Pill from Tang Ming, the beating was totally worth it.

"Tang Ming, this father and daughter are too strange, if the daughter can afford a feast, why would the old man still want to steal your burger?"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with furrowed brows, "Also, how did they avoid the security and get into the house?"

"That’s right, that’s right, they couldn’t be bad people, could they?"

Li Xiaoli also quickly chimed in.

"If you can understand the thoughts of a mentally ill person, then you’d be mentally ill too."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: "The two young ladies finally have some crisis awareness. These two people, in the eyes of ordinary folks, are extremely dangerous entities, but in front of me... heh-heh-heh!"

Soon the takeout Shen Yan ordered arrived, and Tang Ming was very satisfied, digging in right away.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were concerned there might be something wrong with the food, so they didn’t touch it.

Shen Yan was busy treating Mei Dufeng’s injuries, while Mei Dufeng kept his eyes fixed on every move Tang Ming made, committing to memory every single thing he had eaten.

"The takeout was ordered by Shen Yan, the food and drink came from outside, I’ve been watching this brat’s every move, and didn’t see him have a chance to use the Detoxification Pill!"

Mei Dufeng touched the burger in his pocket, thinking smugly, "The burger with the Detoxification Pill is now in my possession, let’s see if you won’t be poisoned to death this time!"
