Chapter 65 Food Poisoning

Shen Jing and Lao Li were concentrating on taking inventory in the store. Suddenly, a panicked shout broke the silence: "Oh no, boss! Something terrible has happened! Someone in Wangjia Village got food poisoning after eating the hot sauce you sold! What should we do?"

Upon hearing the news, Shen Jing and Old Li were shocked. They looked at each other and could see disbelief and worry in each other's eyes.

Shen Jing frowned and asked nervously: "What did you say? Are you sure it was food poisoning caused by our hot sauce? Has he been sent to the hospital for treatment?" Her voice trembled a little. After all, food safety is a major issue concerning people's livelihood. If something really happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Old Li's face turned pale as well. He muttered to himself, "This is impossible. Our hot sauce has always been made with the best ingredients. How could this happen..." As he spoke, he recalled every detail of making the hot sauce, trying to find out what the problem might be, but his mind was in a mess.

The two fell into silence, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. After a moment, Shen Jing calmed down and said to the man, "Don't panic yet. Find out more about the details and see if there are any other clues or information. I will contact the village now to find out the progress of the matter. At the same time, we must also be prepared to deal with possible troubles." After that, she hurriedly picked up the inspection report and ran out the door.

Old Li paced anxiously, praying in his heart that this was just a misunderstanding or misjudgment. However, the truth was still unknown, and in the face of the sudden change, they could only choose to face it bravely and actively solve the problem.

Shen Jing hurried to Wangjia Village. When she arrived at Wangjia Village, she went directly to the home of the person who had food poisoning. After asking, she found that there was more than one person who was poisoned and the symptoms were similar.

Shen Jing's heart sank. It seemed that the matter was more serious than they had imagined.

Shen Jing decided to go to other homes that had bought the hot sauce to investigate and see if anyone else had the same experience.

During the visit, she also learned that the poisoned villagers all bought the hot sauce from the same store.

This made Shen Jing realize that the problem might be in the convenience store.

When they arrived at the store, the boss was bending over, busy packing up various items and preparing to close the store. Such strange behavior made Shen Jing feel a little confused.

"Boss, it's still broad daylight, why don't you close the shop for business?" Shen Jing asked with a smile.

Hearing the voice, the boss straightened up and turned to look at Shen Jing, but his eyes seemed a little evasive, as if he didn't dare to look Shen Jing in the eye, and then he answered hesitantly: "Well... there was an emergency at home that needed to be dealt with, so I had to go back quickly!"

"Oh? What kind of urgent matter is it? You can't even open the store, and you are packing up in such a hurry?" Shen Jing did not believe the boss's words easily, but continued to ask.

Facing Shen Jing's questioning, the boss seemed a little flustered. He lowered his head to avoid Shen Jing's gaze and said in a stiff tone: "My family's affairs have nothing to do with you. It's none of your business whether I pack up or not!" After that, he ignored Shen Jing and quickened the pace of packing his things.

Seeing this, Shen Jing became even more certain that there must be something wrong. She looked around and found that there were still a few bottles of unsold hot sauce on the shelf, so she quickly walked over and picked up a bottle to examine it carefully.

"This hot sauce looks exactly like the one we have at home..." Shen Jing said to herself.

She opened the bottle cap and smelled it, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Just then, Shen Jing noticed a secret compartment behind the shelf. She walked over and gently pushed it open, and found some unknown powder stored inside.

"What is this?" Shen Jing was shocked. She took out a little powder and put it in the palm of her hand to observe it. Suddenly, she felt dizzy.

When Shen Jing woke up, she found her hands and feet were tied! Shen Jing struggled to sit up, looked around, and found herself in an unfamiliar room. The windows were sealed tightly, and no light could penetrate.

She was filled with fear and confusion, and didn't understand why she was kidnapped here.

At this time, the door slowly opened and a mysterious figure walked in.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Shen Jing asked loudly.

The mysterious man did not answer, but walked up to Shen Jing and handed her a note.

Shen Jing took the note, which read: "If you want the truth, just be obedient."

Shen Jing made up his mind and decided to cooperate with the mysterious man temporarily and look for a chance to escape.

After the mysterious man left the room, Shen Jing began to observe the surroundings, looking for a way to escape. She found some tools in the room that might be able to untie the ropes.

Soon, the mysterious man entered the room again and brought some food and water. Shen Jing took the opportunity to talk to him and try to get more information.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Jing asked.

The mysterious man remained silent. He just put the food on the ground and left.

Shen Jing became increasingly anxious, but she told herself to stay calm. She began to eat, maintain her strength, and wait for the right time.

After a night, the sky in the east was turning pale, but Shen Jing still hadn't returned. Old Li was extremely anxious, and felt like an ant on a hot pot. He could no longer suppress his anxiety and worry, and hurried to Lin Yiping's house.

As soon as they met, Old Li couldn't wait to tell Lin Yip, "Yiping, Jing said last night that she would go to Wangjia Village to check out the food poisoning situation, but now it's daybreak and there's still no sign of her!" His words were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

When Lin Yiping heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and he asked angrily: "Why didn't you come to discuss such a big thing with me first?" He thought to himself that if nothing had happened, Shen Jing would not have stayed out all night.

Old Li looked ashamed and blamed himself: "Alas, this happened too suddenly. When Jing heard about it, she rushed out in a hurry! It's my fault that I couldn't stop her at that time. It would have been better if I had gone with her..."

At this point, there is no point in saying more. Lin Yiping sighed helplessly and suggested: "In this case, let's go to Wangjia Village and take a look!" As he spoke, he was ready to set off.

At this time, Old Li suddenly seemed to remember something and added: "Oh, by the way! I'll go find Wang Cailian. She knows the situation in their village better and can help." Before he finished speaking, Old Li got on the shiny 28-inch bicycle and sped towards Wang Cailian's shop.

Lin Yiping did not dare to delay at all. He turned around and went to find two strong young men in the village, Erwa and Erdan, and asked them to go to Wangjia Village to assist in the investigation.
