It’s confirmed, blackmail!

The netizens in the live stream were also seething with anger.

— [Damn it, I really want to slap her to death. She truly disgusted me. I probably won't be able to eat dinner!]

— [Is anyone from the live stream present? I’ll pay 1000 to help me slap her. If not, let's all crowdfund and find a brother to wait for her outside and beat her up to vent our anger.]

— [Lin Yuan stood up for others, but now he’s about to be kicked out. What kind of world is this? It's better not to attend such a tasting event.]

— [These kinds of people just haven't been taught a lesson by society. Don't worry, she won't be jumping around for long. Even if she isn't dealt with now, she'll be brought to heel sooner or later!]

Lin Yuan waited for a dozen seconds and, finding no one asking him about the house, could only smile helplessly.

Although the security guard also wanted to help him, it was his duty, so he patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, signaling him to go out together.

But just then.

A pleasant voice rang out: “Wait a moment!”

Everyone turned to look, only to see Qing He, who had walked over from the crowd at some point, smiling as she looked at the organizer: “Excuse me, he is not a thief. He is the sommelier I invited today, and he will be representing our Qing He Winery in the wine tasting competition.”

“I don’t think there’s any reason for a sommelier in a competition to be kicked out, right?”

Lin Yuan stared at Qing He’s beautiful face and was stunned on the spot.

When did he become a sommelier for the winery?

However, being able to stand up and help him out at this moment still made him feel warm inside.

Otherwise, being driven out so ignominiously would indeed be a bit shameful.

The surrounding crowd looked at Qing He with a hint of expectation.

They also hoped the organizer would let Lin Yuan stay; seeing that woman’s arrogant demeanor made them angry.

After a few seconds of deliberation, the organizer’s manager looked at the security guard and nodded: “In that case, he can certainly stay. With his tasting ability just now, he is fully qualified to participate.”

Clap clap clap~~

A round of warm applause immediately erupted in the venue.

The applause was pleasant to hear, but to the woman’s ears, it sounded like a huge slap.

Just then, the staff member responsible for checking the surveillance footage also returned.

He reported in a hurry: “Manager, I’ve checked. It really wasn’t spilled by the waiter… she poured it herself!”

“I personally saw her pouring red wine on her chest at the restroom entrance.”

Sure enough!!

At this moment, the entire venue erupted again.

Everyone looked at the woman with disdain and contempt.

The young waiter burst into tears the moment he was vindicated; he was too wronged.

He never expected such a lavishly dressed guest to try to extort a waiter like him.

Not only could he not understand it, but no one else could either.

Seeing that the security guard was about to go up and kick her out.

Lin Yuan suddenly reached out and stopped him: “Wait a moment! Don’t rush. Even if she’s to be taken out, it won’t be by you, but by the police!”

Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned.

What did he mean? Because she tried to extort someone?

The young waiter also thought this was the reason and quickly wiped away his tears, shaking his head: “Never mind, brother, I just want to work steadily and not cause trouble.”

However, Lin Yuan merely shook his head faintly: “It has nothing to do with your matter. The reason I said the police would take her away isn’t because of extortion, but because she… is a drug addict!!”

Upon hearing the words “drug addict,” the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

Not extortion, but drug addiction??

If it were extortion, at most, it would be a few days of detention, and she’d be released after some education.

But if it was drug addiction, the nature of the situation would be completely different.

Although it would also only be simple detention and fines, being labeled a drug addict would make it very difficult to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

So, the moment the woman heard Lin Yuan say she was a drug addict, her pupils sharply constricted, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she instinctively blurted out in defense: “I didn’t, you’re talking nonsense!”

The two men beside her also subconsciously took a step back, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

“Heh~~” Lin Yuan sneered, calmly replying: “Originally, we had no grievances, but your mouth is too vicious.”

After speaking, he looked at everyone and said loudly: “Everyone, observe her eyes closely and see what shape her pupils are!”

At these words, everyone leaned forward to look.

The woman’s first reaction was to dodge, but she was worried others would say she had a guilty conscience, so she had to grit her teeth and stand there.

In a short while, someone replied: “They look a bit pointed, like needles.”

“They do look a bit like pinpricks, but what does that prove?”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and explained: “You might not know, but under normal circumstances, pupils becoming pinprick-shaped generally have three reasons.”

“First, organophosphate poisoning. The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and of course, constricted pupils, but clearly, her mental state is fine, and she doesn’t have these symptoms.”

“Second, sedative-hypnotic drug poisoning. Because these drugs inhibit the central nervous system, an overdose can cause the intoxicated person to develop pinprick-like pupil changes.”

“Third, brainstem lesions. The most common is brainstem hemorrhage, where the patient will not only experience coma, paralysis, and high fever.”

“I believe I don’t need to say more; you can all tell which reason it is for her, right?”

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, and they all looked at the woman again.

At this moment, she was truly panicked, completely panicked, her eyes involuntarily darting around.

She forced an explanation: “Even if I fall under the second reason, what does that prove? I’ve been taking sleeping pills for insomnia recently, and I took too many and got poisoned. Is that not allowed?”

“Of course it is!” To everyone’s surprise, Lin Yuan actually agreed with her statement: “Then can you explain why your two companions also have pinprick-shaped pupils like you? Could it be that you all collectively suffer from insomnia?”

Whoosh~~

The scene instantly erupted in an uproar, and everyone turned to look at the two men beside her.

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed exactly the same, all with pinprick-shaped pupils.

The three of them were surrounded and gawked at like monkeys, their faces changing drastically.

They never expected that attending a tasting event would lead to their secret being exposed due to their pupils.

At this moment, the woman regretted it; her guts were turning green with regret.

She regretted coming to extort the waiter today, regretted her arrogant attitude, and regretted offending Lin Yuan with her big mouth.

But there’s no turning back in this world; wrong is wrong.

Lin Yuan stopped arguing with her and explained to the crowd: “The reason I say they are drug addicts is because there’s a type of drug, the consequence of using which also causes pupils to become pinprick-shaped—that is heroin.”

“Drug prohibition in China has always been very strict, so many people don’t understand the symptoms of drug addiction. Abroad, pinprick-shaped pupils are considered the primary sign for drug addiction screening.”

“Besides that, heroin use also has symptoms such as cloudy eyes, dull gaze, dull hair and complexion, thin build, black teeth, and receding gums.”

“Before, I wasn’t sure if you were a drug addict, but when I saw your two companions, I basically confirmed it. Look at you all, which one of you doesn’t have cloudy eyes, and even with such heavy makeup, you can’t cover up your withered faces.”

“Of course, the ultimate reason that confirmed your drug addiction to me was the large tattoos on your arms! Even if they’re deeply hidden, you can still see faint needle marks if you look closely!”
