Ten minutes later.

Professor Su and Professor Shen arrived at the river.

It flows from the entrance of Haitang Village to Luojiao Village.

The river flows gently, and occasionally a few small fish leap out.

The river grass on the bank is lush and green, swaying gently with the wind.

Professor Su took out a test tube and collected some river water.

Professor Shen watched the little fish jump up, his gaze gradually deepening.

“Look over there, those fish are gathered together,” one of the teachers who brought them over pointed to a spot.

Blood gushed out, and soon a piece of rat skin floated on the water, drifting downstream with the river.

Professor Su's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly remembered an article.

If what he thinks is true, then the teeth of these fish are all poisonous.

There is currently no antidote for this poison.

"Old Su, what did you find out?" Shen Hai's heart clenched when he saw his expression change.

Professor Su said, "Old Shen, those fish are not infectious, but they may be poisonous."

On the other side...

The emergency room at the county's People's Hospital was in complete chaos.

More than a dozen children were unconscious, and doctors from all departments had arrived, but they were still helpless.

"Doctor, please save my grandson..."

An elderly woman, holding an unconscious child, knelt before the doctor's bedside.

The nurse quickly helped the elderly man up.

The emergency room beds were all occupied by children.

Seeing this, Lin Ziyan tightened her grip on Jiaojiao's hand.

She can't panic; there must be a way.

"They were all bitten by fish and then fell into a coma; we suspect they were poisoned."

"The blood test results are normal."

"Is it because our equipment can't detect the toxin?"

Several doctors whispered among themselves.

Lin Ziyan heard their conversation clearly, and the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist were getting hot.

She never expected that this so-called toxin would be undetectable in this day and age.

In modern times, getting a tetanus shot and cleaning the wound to prevent infection usually prevents major problems.

It's said to be toxic, but it's actually just a bacterial infection.

The chemical component does not cause any toxins. An article published in a professional journal previously stated that the incurable death after being bitten was due to the lack of a tetanus shot and improper wound treatment, leading to suppuration and infection.

Many years later, the paper was corrected.

So, the person who raises these toothed fish must be a chemistry student who has also read that article?

Lin Ziyan knew about this because during her postgraduate studies, her supervisor told her about this funny incident as a joke after being bitten by a fish.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but it all took no more than a minute.

"Nurse, can I get a tetanus shot here?" Lin Ziyan asked, carrying Jiaojiao as she walked to the service desk.

The doctors were still discussing and didn't notice her.

"Yes, a new batch of tetanus medication just arrived." The nurse frowned.

She glanced at the child in Lin Ziyan's arms, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

"Please clean my sister's wound again and give her a tetanus shot," Lin Ziyan said calmly.

The nurse looked at her suspiciously, led her to the operating table, and slowly said...

"The wound is deep, and a shot is definitely necessary, but tetanus medication is very expensive..."

Lin Ziyan didn't say anything, but touched Jiaojiao's forehead. She was relieved to find that she didn't have a fever.

"You need to see a doctor for tetanus medication before I can get the pharmacy to prepare it. You'll also need anesthesia for the stitches," the nurse said while cleaning the wound.

Lin Ziyan nodded slightly. Even the nurses thought it was normal to get a tetanus shot, so there was no way to stop her from getting a prescription from a doctor.

She was right; the doctor examined the wound and immediately prescribed medication.

It's no use for Lin Ziyan to say anything to the doctors now; they will only believe her when Jiaojiao wakes up and is alright.

As for why he fainted?

If you are bitten by a fish and the wound is soaked in water, the bacteria and toxins will reach a certain level, causing you to faint.

For deep and severe wounds, it is best to take antibiotics and other medications in conjunction with treatment, and to frequently disinfect the wound to prevent infection.

Most of those bitten are children, whose resistance is weak, so it's normal for them to fall into a coma.

"By the way, this bite mark doesn't look like it was inflicted by a child..." the nurse asked suspiciously after administering the tetanus shot.

"Your sister is sleeping so soundly, she didn't even wake up when she was getting her injection and having her wound cleaned."

Lin Ziyan looked up. "She was bitten by a fish."

The nurse was stunned, then immediately said seriously, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You might have been poisoned and unconscious..."

She stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking.

"Jiaojiao, does the wound still hurt?" Lin Ziyan pressed the spot where she had just received the injection and asked in a low voice.

Jiaojiao blinked. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

After being given anesthesia, the wound will not hurt.

The nurses stared at them in shock, then suddenly got up and ran outside to find the doctor.

…

Inside a hotel in the county.

Chen Niaoshu leaned back on the sofa, a smile curving her lips.

An old man sitting opposite her saw it and felt that the curve was like a scimitar, hooking his throat, ready to kill him at any moment.

He was just a university teacher obsessed with chemistry experiments, powerless and without influence, who was forced to come here to raise fish for three months.

"Professor Tao, could you prepare the antidote?" Chen Niaoshu smiled faintly, but her eyes remained calm and indifferent.

"No."

Professor Tao said calmly, then lowered his head to write chemical symbols again.

Chen Niaoshu's smile froze.

"Smack!"

She picked up a magazine and threw it on the table.

Professor Tao's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Since you can concoct this poison, can't you concoct an antidote?" Chen Niaoshu's eyes were icy as she glanced at him indifferently.

She had had enough of this professor who wouldn't utter a single word for ten days.

If this matter is successfully handled, her shipping company can be launched.

Thinking of this, Chen Niaoshu suppressed her anger, paused for a moment, and continued speaking.

"Professor Tao, I hope you will cooperate to avoid suffering physical pain."

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked to the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the street.

First the fish farm, then the shrimp paste factory...

Chen Niaoshu sneered. She didn't believe the Lu family would want their bankrupt granddaughter-in-law.

After this incident, Lin Ziyan's fish farm will become the target of public criticism.

The biting fish was first discovered at her fish farm.

"Give me some time." Professor Tao lowered his eyes, concealing the fierceness in them.

He studied chemistry; it wouldn't be difficult for him to render someone's limbs weak...

Chen Niaoshu smiled contentedly, without even glancing at the people behind her.

To her, Professor Tao was just a tool.

"Leave first, don't bother me here." Professor Tao got up and walked towards the master bedroom.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Niaoshu's eyes, but it quickly dissipated.

She can't lay a hand on this person now that he's still useful.

After this matter is over, this person cannot be kept alive.

Chen Niaoshu took her bag, opened the door, and left the suite.

She didn't leave the hotel, but instead pressed the elevator button and went to the top floor.

Knock, knock...

Chen Niaoshu walked to a room door and knocked a few times.

After the door opened, she went straight inside.

She lifted her foot to close the door and casually locked it...
