Upon hearing this, the director was shocked. The matter had just been resolved that morning, so why was it happening again now?

The director didn't dare to delay any longer and sent Gu Qian to the hospital. The test results came back: food poisoning.

Judging from the food served at lunch, there is only one possibility: the person ate undercooked green beans, which caused green bean poisoning.

Because Gu Qian insisted that Zhuang Yan had deliberately poisoned him, Zhuang Yan also came to the hospital.

Having just woken up from his afternoon nap, Zhuang Yan arrived at the hospital under the scorching sun, feeling somewhat unwell in both spirits and mood.

Gu Qian, whose anesthesia had just worn off, lay on the hospital bed, delirious and shouting that he wanted to call the police to arrest Zhuang Yan, mumbling, "Zhuang Yan poisoned me, he tried to kill me, police, arrest him, lock him up, and shoot him..."

Zhuang Yan peeked into the ward and then asked the director, "What happened to him?"

"Food poisoning. The green beans you made at noon weren't cooked properly."

"How is that possible? We all ate it. How come only he got sick while we were all fine?"

The director tried to find something on Zhuang Yan's face, but to no avail.

Zhuang Yan frowned angrily: "You wronged me this morning, and you're doing it again this afternoon. You're a dog that can't change its nature."

"Gu Qian said that when you brought the dishes out, you put a piece of green bean into his bowl."

"Director, if you suspect me, check the surveillance footage and see if I did it. There are so many cameras watching the kitchen, would I dare to poison him? Someone could die if I'm not careful, and I don't want to get into a criminal case." Zhuang Yan said sincerely and seriously, "What would I gain? What benefit would he gain from poisoning me? I would just get myself into trouble for no reason."

The director thought to himself: Oh, that makes sense...

Gu Qian slowly woke up and heard what Zhuang Yan said in the corridor. He cursed loudly, "Zhuang Yan, you deliberately fed me undercooked green beans. You wanted to harm me. You were jealous that Xia Wan married me and that I recognized your parents."

Zhuang Yan couldn't help but point inside and mock, "He's fighting over things in the trash can, thinking they're something good."

The director's words are hard to describe.

When Zhuang Yan walked in, Gu Qian's already pale face turned even paler, making his dark circles stand out. He looked completely drained, weak and powerless.

Zhuang Yan stood by his bedside: "You got poisoned by eating a dish of food. You said it was the food I put on your plate that caused the poisoning. But when I asked you if it tasted good, you said it did. Can't you tell the difference between raw and cooked food?"

Gu Qian couldn't tell the difference. For the sake of his image, he ate very bland dishes, like green beans and pork ribs stew, which he hadn't eaten for many years.

"Whoever makes the accusation must provide evidence. You say I deliberately poisoned you? Then I'll say you deliberately ate raw green beans to frame me. After all, it's not impossible for someone with a criminal record like you to do that."

Now that you mention it, it seems like Gu Qian is the more suspicious one.

Seeing the director looking at him strangely, Gu Qiantou was furious. He slammed his fist on the bed beneath him and said, "Zhuang Yan, you're making false accusations."

Zhuang Yan reiterated his stance: find the evidence. If he wants to call the police, he can accompany him.

Gu Qian had learned his lesson from Zhuang Yan once, and seeing his confidence, he knew that the so-called "evidence" had been destroyed.

Gu Qian was furious. He clenched his fists, forgetting that there was still a needle stuck in the back of his hand and blood was flowing back.

Upon seeing this, the director quickly called the doctors and nurses to help him adjust the IV line.

Gu Qian insisted that Zhuang Yan was the one who poisoned him, so Zhuang Yan demanded that Gu Qian provide evidence, thus creating a vicious cycle.

The doctor also offered an explanation, stating that it's possible some green beans weren't fully cooked when cooked in the same pot.

As for why only Gu Qian was poisoned, it can only be said that he was unlucky.

Others may not have been poisoned, possibly because their bodies are strong enough to resist microtoxins, or perhaps the symptoms haven't yet appeared.

The doctor repeatedly instructed Zhuang Yan: "In the future, when cooking green beans, simmer them for a little longer, about ten minutes or so. If you are worried about them not being cooked through, you can add some water and simmer them for five or six minutes, then stir-fry them over high heat."

"Doctor, I've been cooking for years and have never had any green bean poisoning, but I'll listen to you and be more careful from now on." As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Gu Qian, "Not only be careful with the vegetables, but also be careful with people."

The matter was dropped, and the director had a worried look on his face. He felt that Gu Qian looked unlucky, and his bad luck was so bad that it infected the entire production team. He thought to himself that he should never have signed Gu Qian.

The director said with a headache, "What do we do now? You're not feeling well anytime soon, and there are new plans for tomorrow. How are we going to film?"

Gu Qian asked, "What arrangements?"

"We'll camp for two days and go mushroom picking."

Gu Qian didn't want to go as soon as he heard that; he had developed a conditioned reflex to his fear of Zhuang Yan.

If they could poison him in the small house in front of so many people and cameras, wouldn't it be even worse outside?

Moreover, there are countless varieties of poisonous mushrooms, and it is easy to accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms if you are not careful, making it easier for Zhuang Yan to poison him.

Gu Qian was terrified of dying in the mountains. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shook his head: "I'm not going. Director, you don't need to worry about me. Just arrange things as you see fit. I'll rest in the hospital for two days."

"That's all we can do."

Now that the problem was solved, the director didn't want to stay any longer. He had a lot to do all day, so he left one staff member at the hospital to take care of things before taking Zhuang Yan away.

Gu Qian was resting at the hospital and didn't need to record, so the staff returned his phone to him.

Gu Qian opened his phone and saw several private messages and missed calls.

The most frequent messages he received were from Tang Jing, who kept asking him when he could bring Zhuang Yan back.

The thought of that crazy old woman Gu Qian makes my scalp tingle. And thinking about Zhuang Yan's behavior of poisoning and beating people, it's probably related to heredity in his family.
