Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 148: Bai Su’s Counterattack

McKoff said, "Someone with no respect for our experiments has no place in this laboratory. Our research doesn’t need a rotten apple like you."

Ever since Bai Su joined the experiment, there had been nothing but trouble in the research lab.

Regardless of the real reason, Bai Su was the one who brought the trouble. That alone was enough to make all the conservative old-timers dislike her.

Bai Su’s expression turned cold. "I’m not the one at fault. Why should I be the one to quit?"

She glanced at Sai’er beside her and said suddenly, "Actually, I have an idea."

All eyes turned to her.

Bai Su made a call, asking Kong Ji to bring her small electric cooking pot, along with some seasonings and the bag of prepared fresh shrimp from the refrigerator.

This was also an item redeemed from the System Mall, and it was very efficient for preparing food.

The items were delivered to the lab.

Bai Su looked at the crowd. "Since you all suspect there’s a problem with my food, I’ll take ten minutes to remake the fried shrimp. You can compare them and see for yourselves."

She quietly instructed Kong Ji to keep an eye on Sai’er and not let him get near the container.

She was now absolutely certain that Sai’er had tampered with the food.

The spoiled shrimp in the container was the evidence of his crime.

Bai Su swiftly plugged in the pot. The ingredients were leftovers from the morning.

It was very quick to make.

She controlled the oil temperature, coated the shrimp in breadcrumbs, and fried them. Once they were golden brown, she removed them and coated them in a special sauce.

The sauce was seasoned with a bit of wasabi, had a yogurt base, and was finished with a drizzle of lemon juice to whet the appetite.

And just like that, a dish of fried shrimp was ready.

She picked up a shrimp, placed it in a clean container, and handed it to Li Yue. She then handed over the other shrimp. "I only trust you. You run the analysis."

A flicker of panic crossed Sai’er’s eyes. "That’s enough! Do you really think our lab is some kind of stage? Does everyone have to waste their time playing house with you?"

Bai Su turned to stare at him, her gaze icy. "What’s the rush? Feeling a guilty conscience?"

Stunned by her glare, Sai’er instinctively took a few steps back. "I... Of course not!"

Li Yue was silent for a moment before taking the food from Bai Su’s hands. "I’ll take a look."

Sai’er paced around anxiously.

’Doesn’t Bai Su know anything? She’s never worked with medical reagents, so how could she possibly know it was tampered with?’

What Sai’er didn’t know was that fresh food and canned food are different.

Canned food contains preservatives. Even if a corrosion accelerator is used to spoil it, there are too many chemical components inside, allowing the corrosion accelerator to be perfectly concealed and impossible to detect.

But fresh food was different.

The ingredients Bai Su bought were all-natural. Freshly prepared, they contained no chemical additives whatsoever.

When a corrosion accelerator was poured on it, there were no other chemicals for it to react with. As long as you were specifically looking for it, it was easy to find.

After finishing her examination, Li Yue gave Sai’er a strange look and sent the results to Flar and the other senior researchers. "They’re definitely different. The sample that was sent over earlier contains a small dose of a corrosion accelerator."

Bai Su crossed her arms and looked at Sai’er. "Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

When Flar and the others saw the results, their expressions soured.

It was true they didn’t like Bai Su, but that was only because they were convinced she was useless to the experiment and had only been placed here to pad her resume.

But Sai’er deliberately destroying a sample to influence the test results was something else entirely.

Sai’er’s face went pale. He quickly explained, "It really had nothing to do with me! I didn’t do it! I really didn’t!"
