The dining room fell silent.
Four people sat around the table.
Five dishes and rice steamed gently.
The atmosphere should have been warm and harmonious.
Instead, three people looked as if they were waiting for a death sentence.
Because Lu Shu had just thought—
“Holy shit.
It’s poisonous.
It’s real poisonous food.”
Lu Mu’s chopsticks froze halfway to the plate.
Lu Xie’s hand trembled.
Li Qing’s face instantly turned pale.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Their minds exploded.
Li Qing’s thoughts:
“Poisonous?”
“The ingredients were delivered this morning.”
“The vegetables, the fish, the chicken…”
“Someone tampered with them?”
“Was it one of the Lu Family’s enemies?”
“Or those shareholders?”
“Or someone targeting Shu’er?”
The more she thought, the colder her body became.
Lu Mu’s thoughts:
“Who?”
“Who dares?”
“The Lu Family has offended many people in business.”
“Did someone really poison the ingredients?”
“Or perhaps the kitchen?”
“No…”
“Shu’er’s strange abilities have never been wrong so far.”
“If he says it’s poisonous…”
“Then there must be something wrong.”
A terrifying coldness flashed through Lu Mu’s eyes.
Murderous intent appeared in the gentle father’s heart.
Lu Xie’s thoughts:
“Brother just returned home yesterday…”
“And today someone already wants to poison him?”
“No, they want to poison the whole Lu family ”
“Are those people insane?”
“Wait…”
“Shouldn’t we comfort him first?”
Unfortunately…
The three of them were so busy imagining assassination plots and corporate conspiracies that they forgot one important thing.
Lu Shu, the supposed victim.
By the time they looked back…
Lu Shu had already picked up another spoonful.
Then—
He took a bite.
Chewed twice.
Paused.
Others were confused that Lu Shu is still eating even after he said it’s poisonous.
Lu Shu:
“Holy mother of sweetness…”
“The shredded pork with caviar earlier was made in a sea of salt…”
“And this Jumping Buddha dish…”
“This thing wasn’t cooked in sugar.”
“It was cooked in diabetes.”
“How can this be called food?”
Silence.
Lu Mu blinked.
Lu Xie blinked.
Li Qing blinked.
Three seconds later—they finally realized.
The “poison” wasn’t poison.
It was…the food.
Lu Mu nearly choked on holding laughter.
Lu Mu’s thoughts:
“I knew it…”
“I knew it…”
“The poison wasn’t poison.”
“The poison was your mother’s cooking.”
Lu Xie’s thoughts:
“Brother…”
“Welcome to the battlefield.”
“You finally understand our suffering.”
Meanwhile…
Li Qing’s face turned red.
Then darker.
Then red again.
Then darker again.
Her emotions were fluctuating faster than the stock market.
“Eat.”
Li Qing said through gritted teeth.
“Continue eating.”
Lu Mu and Lu Xie obeyed silently.
Lu Shu honestly continued.
After all…he was starving.
He may find something that’s FOOD among remaining dishes.
He picked up another dish.
This one called Dog Running in Green. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
He took a bite.
Lu Shu:
“Hmm…”
“Interesting.”
“Very interesting.”
“I finally understand why it’s called Dog Running in Green.”
“Because if a dog smelled this dish, it would run into the forest and never come back.”
Lu Xie instantly lowered her head.
Her shoulders started shaking.
Lu Xie’s thoughts:
“No…”
“Don’t laugh…”
“Mother will kill me…”
“Don’t laugh…”
Lu Mu pinched his leg as not not laugh.
Lu Shu continued analyzing.
Lu Shu:
“Half-boiled meat or more specifically half-raw bloody meat.”
“Half-raw vegetables.”
“No seasoning.”
“No taste.”
“No soul.”
“This dish somehow achieved the impossible.”
“It offended both vegetarians and meat lovers simultaneously.”
Lu Mu coughed loudly.
Very loudly.
“Husband, are you okay?”
Li Qing asked suspiciously.
“Perfectly fine.”
Lu Mu answered.
Then he immediately turned away before his smile escaped.
Next came the chicken.
The famous Pure Kiss Full Chicken.
Lu Shu took a bite.
Then another.
Then another.
His expression gradually became strange.
Lu Shu:
“Was this chicken raised on lemons?”
“No…”
“That’s impossible.”
“Even lemons aren’t this sour.”
“Did someone force-feed this chicken vinegar until it achieved enlightenment?”
“Or did mother marinated this chicken in the most sourest liquid for days then cooked it?”
“Why does every bite feel like my tongue owes money to citrus fruits?”
Lu Mu finally lost.
He lowered his head.
His shoulders started shaking violently.
Lu Xie was even worse.
She almost buried her face inside the rice bowl.
Li Qing’s face turned black.
Very black.
Very, very black.
Then came the final dish.
Fishcow.
The luxury fish.
The pride of the meal.
The most expensive ingredient on the table.
Lu Shu picked up a piece.
Tasted it.
Paused.
His expression became serious.
Very serious.
The family immediately straightened.
Lu Shu:
“The taste is normal, completely normal.”
Everyone relaxed.
Then—
Lu Shu:
“But after testing mother’s cooking i can’t believe mother can cook something normal.”
“So I checked it with cursed energy.”
Everyone froze again.
Lu Mu and Lu Xie couldn’t hold back laughter but stoped themself after watching Li Qing’s black and red face.
Lu Shu:
“Holy shit.”
“This fish is full of parasites.”
Pfffft!
Lu Shu immediately spat out the fish.
Lu Shu:
“Hundreds no thousands.”
“Literal thousands of parasites.”
“The fish died.”
“The parasites didn’t.”
“Those little bastards survived the cooking process.”
“Out of hundreds of thousands, thousands of those parasites survived.
”
“They’re still inside wiggling.”
The room became silent.
Completely silent.
This time… Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Nobody doubted him.
Fishcow was expensive.
Extremely expensive.
A single fish cost over a million yuan.
Every fish underwent multiple inspections.
Parasites.
Disease.
Infection.
Physical damage.
Everything was checked.
Yet Lu Shu had discovered thousands of parasites and they are living ones.
Parasites strong enough to survive cooking process are lab made.
That wasn’t an accident.
That was deliberate.
Lu Mu’s thoughts:
“Someone tampered with the fish.”
“This is no coincidence.”
“Someone wants to harm the Lu Family.”
Li Qing’s thoughts:
“If Shu’er hadn’t noticed…”
“We would’ve eaten it.”
“The whole family.”
Lu Xie’s thoughts:
“Brother saved us again…”
The three looked toward Lu Shu.
Their eyes filled with gratitude.
Meanwhile…
Lu Shu completely misunderstood everything.
Lu Shu:
“Father and Sister are looking at me gratefully?”
“Why?”
He thought for a moment.
Then enlightenment struck.
Lu Shu:
“Ah.”
“I understand now.”
The family listened carefully.
Lu Shu:
“There weren’t any maids around this morning.”
“Which means Mother probably cooks personally sometimes.
Probably 2 or 3 days in a week.”
“Father and Sister have suffered from this type food for years.”
“And to survive they adapted.”
“Like survivors.”
Lu Mu nearly died from listening to Lu Shu’s funny yet painful annalise.
Lu Shu:
“The reason they’re grateful…”
“Is because another victim has finally joined them.”
“They are no longer suffering alone.”
Lu Xie bit her lip.
Hard.
Very hard.
Lu Shu:
“Actually…”
“Looking at their greatful expressions…”
“Mother’s cooking is probably usually worse than today’s.”
“Today’s meal must have been specially improved for my return.”
At this point—
Lu Mu and Lu Xie were suffering internal injuries from holding back laughter.
Meanwhile…
Li Qing stood behind Lu Shu.
Silent.
Motionless.
Smiling with vains poping on her forehead.
The kind of smile that made people fear for their lives.
She slowly looked toward her husband and daughter.
The two immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
Li Qing’s thoughts:
“My precious son can say whatever he wants.”
“He’s been home for two days.”
“I won’t scold him.”
Her smile widened.
Li Qing’s thoughts:
“But you two…”
“You’ve been eating my cooking for years.”
“And apparently you’ve been suffering together?”
“Survivors?”
“Victims?”
Lu Mu’s instincts screamed.
Run.
Lu Xie’s instincts screamed louder.
Run faster.
Unfortunately…
Neither dared move.
Li Qing’s thoughts:
“Then i will make you all three times food for the next month and i will personally saw you eating with my own eyes.”
Lu Mu and Lu Xie’s bones felt dangerous chill.
