Can a System Have Bad Intentions? - Chapter 76

As Lu Tang was listening to Feng Chunshan question people, the system’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

【System has detected a champion mission. Please prepare, Host.】

【Complete the “Stabbing” task and win the champion title of “Master of Stabbing.”】

“What?”

【Master of Stabbing. Host, you can do it! You are the best!~~~】

Lu Tang: …

“Is there a time limit?”

【Yes, please complete it within the time of one incense stick. Good luck!】

Ever since the system had faced a punishment, its tone had become even more annoying.

“…Sir, that’s the situation.”

While the system was talking, the Yunyang Restaurant worker explained the entire process in detail.

Qin Mo glanced at the shorty and said to the worker, “So, from start to finish, no one from Qiao Family Inn touched the wine he drank?”

The shorty’s brain works, thought Qin Mo. She may not know how to avoid disaster, but at least she knows how to avoid suspicion.

The restaurant worker, having narrated the process in detail, hadn’t thought much until now. Upon Qin Mo’s comment, he realized the same thing.

The wine was poured by their manager, delivered by him, and the jug was filled by him, even the small jug was bought by Er Bao from Yunyang Restaurant. From beginning to end, Qiao Family Inn had nothing to do with it.

Reflecting further, he recalled that when Er Bao bought the jug, he mentioned being clumsy, and the restaurant worker himself had fastened the jug to Er Bao’s waist. The whole process was witnessed by several people.

Something seemed off to the worker.

At that moment, having received the system’s task, Lu Tang discreetly looked around at everyone present. She crouched down, pulled a small dagger from her boot for self-defense, hid it in her sleeve, and slowly stood up.

The whole process looked as if she were stealing.

Qin Mo, standing aside, was half-listening to Feng Chunshan while keeping an eye on Lu Tang. He watched as she did this and his eye twitched.

Is she crazy?

Lu Tang stood quietly by Qin Mo’s side, observing the surroundings attentively.

Master of Stabbing.

Who on earth am I supposed to stab?

“Are you saying that after you delivered the wine, the person drank it immediately?”

Feng Chunshan, though knowing the truth, had to go through the motions.

The worker nodded vigorously.

“Yes, we delivered the wine, Er Bao asked if they needed any side dishes, they said no, and we left. Before we even reached the stairs, we heard shouting. When we rushed back, the man was already on the floor. We haven’t touched anything in the room since.”

The two diners who went up with Er Bao nodded.

Feng Chunshan said, “The incident happened in Qiao Family Inn, and the man drank Yunyang Restaurant’s wine. Arrest everyone from Qiao Family Inn and Yunyang Restaurant.”

Hearing that his inn’s people were to be arrested, young Er Bao suddenly found the courage to stand up to Feng Chunshan, “Why arrest us? When they returned, it was only me and Brother Fugui here. We never went upstairs. How is this related to us?”

The two diners nodded in agreement, “It has nothing to do with them.”

The Yunyang Restaurant worker quickly added, “It’s not related to us either. Everyone in town drinks our wine and no one has had issues. The people downstairs in the inn also drank our wine and they are fine.”

The diners agreed, “We’re fine.”

Lu Tang: Are you guys his sidekicks?

Er Bao turned to the worker, “Just because others are fine doesn’t mean this guy won’t have problems. He drank and then…”

Suddenly realizing something, Er Bao looked up at Feng Chunshan, “Sir, didn’t you just say he was faking death?”

The Yunyang worker also realized, “If he was faking death, then he has issues himself. Why arrest us?”

Er Bao followed up, “Are you afraid the case is too simple, so you arrest everyone? Or do you think writing the case this way makes it look better in the records?”

Er Bao’s innocent eyes pierced through Feng Chunshan.

“Is this what they call lazy governance?”

Feng Chunshan: !

Kids are this sharp nowadays?

【System friendly reminder: time is ticking away. Host, hurry up~】

【Also, system reminder: someone else is about to win the Master of Stabbing title. Host, you need to hurry up.】

Someone else is about to win?

Fearing she might fail the task, Lu Tang crouched down, grabbed the dagger, and started stabbing the unconscious son on the ground.

She knew one stab wouldn’t be enough to win, so she kept stabbing.

Stab, stab, stab~

She stabbed over a dozen times.

Her sudden actions left everyone dumbfounded.

The Yunyang Restaurant worker was so scared his legs turned to jelly.

What does this rich young master mean? The father fakes death, and he plans to stab the son to death?

Are all rich kids this unprincipled?

Feng Chunshan, shocked, looked at Qin Mo.

In his years of service, he had never seen anything like this. What should he do?

Qin Mo now understood what the little dummy was doing. However, before he could react, the son, who had been pretending to be unconscious, couldn’t bear it any longer and jumped up with a scream.

He had regained consciousness at the first stab.

But the situation was too daunting, so he endured it, hoping his employer might come to his rescue.

Never had he imagined this young master would keep stabbing like a sieve. If this continued, he would die before the authorities reached a verdict.

He jumped up, clutching his bleeding arm, and cried, “It’s not my fault! I was just paid to do it!”

“Nonsense! If I stab you now and claim someone paid me, is that acceptable?” Er Bao retorted.

The son: !

“You don’t even know how to take responsibility like a man. What kind of adult are you? You’re not even as good as me!” Er Bao scoffed.

The son: !

Oh wow!

Qin Mo looked at Lu Tang.

This little dummy figured the son was involved, so she scared him into confessing?

She has some brains!

Lu Tang stared at the bleeding man, hearing the system’s voice 【Wah wah wah, Host, task failed. Please accept your punishment task.】

Lu Tang stared at the bleeding arm, “Failed? Impossible, who stabbed more than me?”

【Er Bao.】

Lu Tang: ?

“What?”

The system cried, 【Master of Stabbing is not literal stabbing, it means verbal jabs!】

Lu Tang: !
