“Alright, then let me ask you. Did you see any suspicious person enter the kitchen before lunch today?” Su Qian looked at everyone and asked word by word.

Chef Steward and the chefs looked at each other, all deeply immersed in thought.

“Please recall carefully. It might not be someone you haven’t seen before. Perhaps it’s someone you’ve seen before or someone you know. Take a good moment to think,” Qing Zhu anxiously looked at everyone and hurriedly said.

“That was when we were the busiest. We were only focused on cooking and didn’t notice so much…” The chef and the apprentices spoke carefully. After saying that, they looked at Su Qian uneasily, clearly feeling guilty for not helping her.

Su Qian frowned when she heard this.

She thought, “That was strange. Could it be that my guess was wrong?”

When she heard that the people of Tianji Sect had been poisoned, she had already felt that this matter was very strange.

If someone was poisoned, it should have been Tianji Sect people poisoning them. How could it be that Tianji Sect people were poisoned instead?

Unable to comprehend the reason behind this, Su Qian originally thought that the chefs in the kitchen would know something.

But now, it seemed that they knew nothing at all.

Just as Su Qian was feeling troubled, Xiao Yan swept his gaze across the room and his gaze landed on the Chef Steward.

Unlike the people around him who were constantly discussing, the Chef Steward seemed unusually silent as if he had something in mind. Although he lowered his head, Xiao Yan could still discern his nervousness from the way he tightly gripped his clothes.

“Chef Steward, did you see anyone at that time?” Xiao Yan’s expression was cold as he stared at the Chef Steward and asked in a cold tone.

Suddenly being called by name, Chef Steward felt a little uneasy.” I, I…”

“The rest of you can leave first.” Su Qian’s eyes flashed with coldness as she said to the others.

The other chef and apprentices heard her words and left one by one. Before they left, they glanced at the Chef Steward uneasily.

“Chef Steward, if we can’t catch the culprit this time, then someone with ill intentions will definitely frame Elder Su. You can’t just stand by.” Looking at Chef Steward, Qing Zhu gently advised.

Chef Steward broke out in a cold sweat. He looked very troubled. “It’s not that I don’t want to say it. It’s just that I, I dare not say…”

“Someone from Tianji Sect came?” Su Qian narrowed her eyes and asked bluntly.

Qing Zhu was slightly stunned, and a complicated expression immediately appeared on his face.

Su Qian’s guess was right. If it wasn’t for the fact that the people from Tianji Sect had come to the kitchen, Chef Steward had no reason to hesitate like this!

As expected, Chef Steward was not adept at lying. Once his thoughts were guessed, he silently lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Qing Zhu’s heart suddenly trembled. He closed his eyes with a complicated expression and slowly said, “Chef Steward, just say it. I guarantee that our conversation today won’t be overheard by others.”

“Yes…” Only then did the Chef Steward heave a sigh of relief. Under everyone’s gaze, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. “When the meals for the elders were ready that day, only Lord Hei Wu came by. At that time, for some reason, Lord Hei Wu suddenly asked us to deliver the elders’ meals to Elder Su. When I brought the packed meals out and went to get the lunch boxes, Lord Hei Wu instructed me to deliver the meals to Elder Su. If we talk about someone having the opportunity to tamper with the food, only Lord Hei Wu had the chance..”
