Chapter 1155: Chapter 1148: Killing Intent

“Send this bottle of wine over to the other side and tell them I’m inviting them for a drink.”

Looking at the waiter, Tang Qing pointed to where Lu Tianxing was sitting on the opposite side.

“Alright.”

The waiter didn’t say much, as delivering drinks was a common occurrence in bars, whether it’s a girl seeing a handsome guy or a guy seeing a pretty girl; sending drinks was quite a regular thing.

Watching the waiter leave, Tang Qing showed a radiant smile and lazily ignored Lu Tianxing across from him, continuing to drink with the woman beside him. In his opinion, the Tang Family’s poison was unparalleled. It wouldn’t be long before Mu Qingxue would willingly come to him. As for Lu Tianxing, if he dared to complain, he would just kill him. The Tang Family could easily cover up one person’s death.

Completely unaware that someone was plotting against them, Lu Tianxing and Mu Qingxue drank together, one cup after another. Lu Tianxing stopped after a few glasses, casting a glance at Mu Qingxue, who continued to drink non-stop. Lu Tianxing frowned, feeling that Mu Qingxue was clearly trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

“Stop drinking or you’ll get drunk.”

Seeing Mu Qingxue showing no intention of stopping, Lu Tianxing frowned instinctively and quickly grabbed the glass from Mu Qingxue’s hand and placed it on the table.

Noticing her glass being taken away, Mu Qingxue raised her head, revealing her stunning face, though at the moment, it carried a trace of sorrow: “If I get drunk, then I’m drunk. Anyway, no one cares about me. Rather than that, I might as well drown my sorrows in alcohol. Once I’m drunk, I don’t need to think about anything or know anything.”

Upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, Lu Tianxing gave a bitter laugh. How could he not understand the underlying meaning behind Mu Qingxue’s words?

Seeing Lu Tianxing remain silent, a forlorn look flashed in Mu Qingxue’s eyes. Would Lu Tianxing ultimately refuse to accept her?

Watching Mu Qingxue’s desolate gaze, Lu Tianxing sighed gently, paused briefly, and said, “When do you plan to leave Jiangnan? I’ll come to see you off.”

No matter what his feelings are toward Mu Qingxue, he cannot deny the gratitude he owes her for coming to Jiangnan to help him. So by all means, he has to see her off.

“Really?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a surprising gleam of joy and expectancy flashed in Mu Qingxue’s originally dim eyes.

Seeing Mu Qingxue’s expression, Lu Tianxing nodded gently and said, “Yes, I’ll see you off tomorrow because we are friends.”

Mu Qingxue didn’t speak, remaining silent for a brief moment before shaking her head, saying, “Tianxing, you don’t need to see me off tomorrow. If my brother sees you, he definitely won’t let it go easily.”

Your brother!

Upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s remark, Lu Tianxing felt a bit perplexed. It’s said that sons-in-law are usually the father’s enemy, but he hadn’t heard that they’d bear grudges against brothers-in-law. Since Mu Qingxue arrived yesterday, he felt Mu Qingchuan’s gaze on him was full of hostility and displeasure.

“Then let it be.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head, thinking that if Mu Qingchuan saw him seeing his sister off, he wouldn’t be surprised if he got angry: “If you encounter any trouble, anything you can’t resolve, you can call me.”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

Seeing Lu Tianxing nod, a radiant smile appeared on Mu Qingxue’s face, blooming like a peony, leaving Lu Tianxing momentarily dazed.

At this moment, a waiter carrying a tray walked over, placing a bottle of wine from the tray in front of Mu Qingxue: “Hello, Miss. This is wine sent to you by a gentleman from across the room.”

The other side!

Upon hearing the waiter’s words, Mu Qingxue and Lu Tianxing instinctively turned their heads, immediately seeing Tang Qing and others in the booth, drinking with several women.

Mu Qingxue frowned: “Could you take this bottle of wine back? I’m not used to accepting wine from strangers…”

“Come on.”

Before Mu Qingxue could finish her sentence, Lu Tianxing interrupted, “Qingxue, since someone sent wine, why not drink it? It’s free anyway, why not partake? Okay, you’re done here; you can go now.”

The last sentence was directed at the waiter beside him.

The waiter nodded and turned to leave. However, before departing, he instinctively glanced at Mu Qingxue, a look of doubt flashed through his mind; she seemed familiar, but he didn’t think much more—many regulars visited bars, perhaps Mu Qingxue was one of them.

“Qingxue, it seems you have quite the charm, someone’s actually sent you wine. Here, have a drink, once we finish this glass, I’ll escort you back to the hotel.”

Lu Tianxing said with a smile, picking up the bottle of wine on the table to pour a glass for Mu Qingxue, then poured another for himself.

“I can’t see you off tomorrow, so I’ll toast to you, wishing you a pleasant journey.”

Lu Tianxing handed one of the glasses to Mu Qingxue and raised his own.

“Clink!”

The two glass cups lightly clinked together. Lu Tianxing brought his glass to his lips, about to take a sip, when suddenly, his nose twitched slightly as if he smelled something, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes, and he quickly put the glass down: “Wait, Qingxue, don’t drink.”

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Qingxue, somewhat puzzled, also put her glass down.

“This wine has been spiked with some kind of knockout poison.”

Lu Tianxing’s expression turned grim as he glanced across at the booth where, seemingly feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Tang Qing appeared smugly indifferent with a mocking smile.

“Spiked with poison.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mu Qingxue’s face immediately changed as she hurriedly placed her glass on the table, looking frightened. Although she hadn’t been to a bar before, she had heard of such incidents; a beautiful woman drugged with knockout drops in a bar could foresee a dreadful end.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing’s eyes flared with a chilling hint of killing intent. Back in the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, he often had to test Mandala’s drugs, so he was naturally familiar with poisons. If his judgment was correct, this bottle of wine contained knockout poison, used specifically for controlling others. Anyone who ingests this poison would be under the spiker’s control for a short period. If Mu Qingxue drank this glass of wine, the outcome would be unimaginable.

“Qingxue, let’s go.”

Coldly glancing at Tang Qing and the others laughing heartily in the booth, Lu Tianxing suddenly stood up from his seat, grabbing Mu Qingxue’s hand and heading towards the booth.

“Lu Tianxing, where are you going?”

Mu Qingxue was startled by Lu Tianxing’s sudden action.

“Someone’s looking for trouble, I’m going to teach them a lesson.”

Lu Tianxing’s voice was indifferent, his expression showing a cold demeanor.
