Tan Rouâs lips twitched as she reminded, âSenior Shang Jin, the medication Iâve arranged for Feng Jiao will only cause him to have diarrhea for a few days and wonât render him powerless. Of course, if the diarrhea is severe, it could make him weak.â
âThen give him more of the diarrhea medicine!â Shang Jin said, âLet him get dehydrated from all the diarrheaâthat would be best!â
Tan Rou verbally agreed with Shang Jin, but in her heart, she still had her own ideas. She could give Feng Jiao laxatives, but not too much, just enough to have him suffer from diarrhea for a week at most.
If she wanted to make sure he would only have diarrhea for a week and it wouldnât be too serious, she would need to adjust the proper dosage. Tan Rou hadnât brought the medication with her, and now she had to go back to get it. Fortunately, she and Shang Jin had left early, and since she had driven, she could go back to mix the medication first.
However, she had come with Zhuang Liu in the same car, and Li Li and Lan Ning had also come in her car. What would happen to them if she left first?
âLet Ah Yan take them,â Shang Jin urged, âWe have to go back and get the medicine quickly, or weâll miss our chance.â
Tan Rou shook her head helplessly; she shouldnât have suggested giving Feng Jiao laxatives in the first place.
âAlright, Iâll message Zhuang Liu, and you tell the class leader; let the two of them take one car,â Tan Rou texted Zhuang Liu, making her plans clear.
Upon receiving the message, Zhuang Liu immediately expressed his willingness to help her drug Feng Jiao and told her not to involve herself in this matter.
Tan Rou replied, âItâs okay, Senior Shang Jin will handle this. If she doesnât do it herself, I bet she wonât be able to sleep tonight without getting up to curse at Feng Jiao.â
Knowing that Tan Rou wouldnât be the one putting the drugs in the drink eased Zhuang Liuâs worries. He only cautioned her to drive carefully, and not too fast.
Tan Rou glanced at the message from Zhuang Liu but didnât plan to heed his advice. Since the car accident last time, Zhuang Liu always nagged her a bit when she drove. Although he was concerned about Tan Rou, she, having heard it so often, preferred to remain silent.
Tan Rou and Shang Jin drove back to Tan Rouâs place in the university town, where they just happened to run into Aunt Zhou and a maid cleaning wine bottles.
Aunt Zhou asked, âMiss, why have you returned so soon?â
Tan Rou replied, âI came back to grab some things. What are you doing?â
Aunt Zhou answered, âThese bottles have been on the shelf for a long time, and theyâve gathered dust. I asked someone to take them down and clean them.â
Tan Rou eyed the wine bottles and thought of a good plan. She had just been discussing with Shang Jin how to get the laxatives into the food without detection. If Shang Jin were to put the laxatives in the food in front of Feng Jiao, it would be too risky. The only way was to do it out of his sight.
Shang Jin initially planned to mix the drugs into the food before serving it to Feng Jiao, but that would require cautioning the others not to eat that particular dish. Even though doing so posed a risk of exposure, Shang Jin had no other options.
âWe could mix the drug powder into the wine,â Tan Rou suggested while preparing the drugs, âIâll pick out a nice bottle of wine to bring over, and you pretend to apologize to Feng Jiao. Say that you were too harsh earlier and want to say sorry, then offer him a drink.â
âPut the laxative in the glass?â Shang Jin asked, âWhat if he doesnât use the glass I provide?â
âPut the drug into the bottle when you open it; then once the wine has breathed, you can pour it for him,â Tan Rou arranged, âBut before that, you need to take the antidote to counteract the effects of the drugs in the wine.â
âWill only the two of us drink this wine?â Shang Jin felt that if it was just the two of them drinking, it would be too obvious.
Tan Rou said, âNo, I will inform Zhuang Liu and the others in advance to take the antidote before they start drinking. As for Senior Jiang Min, we just have to prevent her from drinking.â
Shang Jin nodded and said, âRight, youâre not good with alcohol, so you donât drink then, and weâll also find a few others to abstain. This way, Ah Min wonât drink either.â
Tan Rou said, âTian Tian is also not good with alcohol, so let her skip drinking, and Ning Ning is still recovering from a leg injury, so she shouldnât drink either.â
Shang Jinâs face revealed a sly smile, âIâll drink more at the time, doing my best to ensure no one but me and Feng Jiao drinks the wine, minimizing any unnecessary trouble.â
Tan Rou added, âIâll arrange for you to have an emetic, so if you drink too much, remember to go out and induce vomiting early.â
