Chapter 802: Chapter 0802: I Can Eat, But You Can’t

"What’s wrong with your eyes? Are they uncomfortable?"

Seeing Chen Cang blinking nonstop, Tang Ming asked with concern.

"The hot pot is too spicy, it’s making my eyes hurt..."

Chen Cang replied helplessly, then introduced, "Let me introduce, this is my classmate Tang Ming, and this is a friend of mine, named..."

"Yaya."

Gao Ya interrupted, introducing herself.

"Right, Yaya."

Chen Cang’s lips twitched, originally wanting to remind them that this person was Gao Ya, but he didn’t expect Gao Ya to be so alert. He didn’t know if Tang Ming had noticed.

"Interesting, I hadn’t heard that you have friends in the provincial capital."

Tang Ming sat down freely and curiously scrutinized Gao Ya.

"I’m not from here either, but I live not far from Songhai City. I heard Chen Cang is here, so I came specially to see him."

Gao Ya changed her previously cold expression, explaining politely.

"So a friend from afar, then Chen Cang must treat us to this meal."

Tang Ming suddenly realized, commenting, "Yaya, this name suits you well, dignified and elegant, clearly from a noble family."

"You’re too kind. Since you all are friends with Chen Cang, you’re also my friends. This meal is on me since you’re still students."

Gao Ya responded with a smile.

"Even if I pay, I can’t let our guest foot the bill. Don’t save on his money, he’s a big spender."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly, then raised his hand and called out, "Waiter, give me an eight-person set meal."

These past few days, the three girls were busy shopping, and Chen Cang was busy with business. Tang Ming was alone and had nothing to do but eat, so it was rare to meet up with Chen Cang and finally have company.

"Are there others coming?"

Hearing Tang Ming order an eight-person set meal, Gao Ya was startled and looked at Tang Ming with confusion.

"No, I can eat the portion for eight people by myself."

Tang Ming grinned, casually saying, "Adding on what you guys have, it should be about eighty percent full."

"No way?"

Gao Ya was shocked. Someone actually needs eight portions just to eat till eighty percent full? What kind of appetite is that?

"Ahem, Yaya, you don’t know. My brother Tang Ming has an astonishing appetite."

Chen Cang quickly explained. He had been busy praising Tang Ming but forgot to mention Tang Ming’s enormous appetite.

"Alright."

Gao Ya nodded. She wasn’t sure if what Chen Cang had said earlier was true, but Tang Ming’s appetite was indeed frightening.

Before Tang Ming’s order arrived, he started eating the food Gao Ya and Chen Cang had placed in the hot pot, paying little attention to Gao Ya and focusing on his meal.

Gao Ya kept watching Tang Ming. Looking at this frail man in front of her, she was puzzled. His appearance and physique were ordinary, totally unlike someone who could create so many miracles. Could it be that Chen Cang was exaggerating?

Chen Cang took out a mirror and admired himself, remaining silent. The situation was a bit awkward, and he didn’t know what to say. He was afraid that if either side slipped up, his secret identity would be exposed.

If Tang Ming accidentally revealed himself as an undercover agent, Gao Ya and the Flying Wolf Organization wouldn’t let him go, and he wouldn’t be able to continue his undercover mission.

Seeing Tang Ming focused on eating, Gao Ya squinted her eyes and started plotting an assassination.

Soon, the waiter came with a cart of new food.

"Tang Ming, the food is here, you can serve it yourself."

Gao Ya promptly pointed behind Tang Ming, reminding him.

"Alright, alright."

Tang Ming responded with a mouthful of mutton, quickly turning around to place the food from the cart onto the table.

While Tang Ming turned around, Gao Ya swiftly swept her hand over the hot pot, releasing several drops of clear liquid from a ring on her middle finger into the pot.

This was a potent poison that Gao Ya carried with her. Just a few drops were enough to kill an elephant. As long as Tang Ming ate from the pot again, he would definitely be poisoned.

Chen Cang saw Gao Ya’s action and immediately wanted to say something but was stopped by her gaze and a warning look telling him not to eat from the pot.

"Sigh! This is going to be a poisoning scheme, but Brother Tang isn’t afraid of poison. Let this woman play her trick then."

Chen Cang slightly shook his head, giving Gao Ya a sympathetic look.

Tang Ming seemed not to notice Gao Ya’s trick, turning back to put a plate of tenderloin into the pot, then holding his chopsticks, eagerly waiting for the food to cook.

Seeing Tang Ming like this, Gao Ya’s lips curled slightly, as if she could already see Tang Ming’s tragic fate from the poisoning.

"Why aren’t you eating? It’s boring if I eat alone."

Tang Ming picked up a piece of tenderloin, put it in his mouth, and enjoyed looking at Chen Cang and Gao Ya.

"I’m full."

Chen Cang shook his head repeatedly, not knowing what Gao Ya had put in the pot. Who knew what the consequences would be? He was also worried about Brother Tang.

"I’ll eat."

Worried that Tang Ming might get suspicious, Gao Ya smiled and picked up her chopsticks. After all, she had the antidote and wasn’t afraid of poisoning.

When Tang Ming swallowed the tenderloin, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Nothing happened."

Seeing that Tang Ming had no adverse reaction after eating the poison, Gao Ya was puzzled. Her poison was supposed to act immediately, yet Tang Ming showed no reaction at all?

Carrying her doubts, Gao Ya picked up a piece of tenderloin and placed it in her bowl, but then...

Seeing Gao Ya putting the tenderloin into her bowl, Tang Ming immediately took it with his chopsticks and ate it: "The tenderloin tastes really good. I’ll eat this piece too. Otherwise, if you eat it, it might kill you."

"Ah, if you like it, eat more." Gao Ya was stunned, awkwardly smiling.

"Then I won’t be polite. All of this is mine since you guys are full, right?"

Tang Ming pulled the pot closer to himself and started eating voraciously while muttering, "I have too many enemies. Many malicious people want to poison me. If you accidentally got poisoned, it wouldn’t be good."

Hearing this, Gao Ya’s face changed slightly. Did he know I was poisoning him?

He shouldn’t know. If he knew I poisoned it, why would he stop me from eating and instead consume everything himself knowing it was poisoned? Isn’t he afraid of death?

Chen Cang and Gao Ya just watched Tang Ming eat. One was embarrassed by Tang Ming’s eating manner, and the other was completely bewildered.

"What’s going on? Why hasn’t he been poisoned yet?"

Gao Ya was going crazy. Her poison had never failed before. Could it have expired?

Uncontrollably curious, Gao Ya couldn’t help but ask, "You’re worried about us being poisoned. Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned yourself?"

"Of course not. I have the Detoxification Pill."

Tang Ming grinned proudly, "The Detoxification Pill can counteract all poisons. None of the poisons in this world can harm me, but you all aren’t as fortunate."
