Chapter 101 Wife, help! Your husband is about to kick the bucket!
The Chi family.
Chi Yanzhou lay stiffly on the bed, bored out of his mind, wondering what his wife was doing at the moment.
They must be treating Wang Qi.
My wife said that Wang Qi's recovery is better than she expected, and he should wake up in the next couple of days.
Once Wang Qi wakes up and interrogates her carefully, Aunt Zhao's true colors will be revealed.
He also wanted to know why Aunt Zhao, who had lived in the Chi family for decades, would want to harm him!
His wife will definitely tell him the specific results once they are available.
He is now bedridden and unable to move, and can only get news from his wife.
Fortunately, his wife is willing to chat with him every day and tell him everything that happens.
As Chi Yanzhou was thinking, he heard the door open, followed by familiar footsteps.
His heart tightened involuntarily.
The person who came in was Aunt Zhao.
However, Aunt Zhao would come to take care of him at the same time every day, and he had gotten used to it, so even though he knew that Aunt Zhao had a problem, he wasn't that nervous.
Since the other side pushed Wang Qi out to take the blame, it means they want to continue using Aunt Zhao as a pawn. Logically speaking, they should never alert the enemy.
Unless... they feel threatened.
After Aunt Zhao stood by the bedside, she remained silent, which was different from the usual care routine.
Chi Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he felt completely uneasy.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Could it be that the other party knew that Wang Qi had recovered well, sensed the crisis, and was afraid that Aunt Zhao would become a useless pawn, so they wanted her to make a move against him at this time?
There's no one else in the house except Aunt Zhao and the new guy, Xiao Wei. If Aunt Zhao were to make a move against him, wouldn't she kill him instantly?
Chi Yanzhou was not a person who feared death, but at this moment, he was extremely afraid of death.
He hadn't even seen his wife in person yet, how could she just die like that?
If he had died on the battlefield, sacrificing himself for his country, that would have been fine. But to die so ignominiously in bed, ensnared by the enemy's scheming, filled him with resentment.
He was unwilling to accept this outcome!
Chi Yanzhou couldn't help but shout in his heart: Wife, come and save me! If you don't come soon, your man is going to meet the King of Hell.
For a moment, Chi Yanzhou was in a state of utter confusion.
Aunt Zhao stared at Chi Yanzhou for a long time, her eyes filled with resentment and complex emotions.
She had personally raised Chi Yanzhou from a young age, and she originally regarded him as her own child. Logically speaking, she couldn't bring herself to harm him.
But after struggling with her decision, her gaze became incredibly firm.
Aunt Zhao murmured, "Xiao Zhou, don't blame me. You're the one who wronged me first, that's why I did this."
“They said this poison is very potent, it kills instantly upon contact with blood. You are in a vegetative state now and can't feel any pain, so you should die peacefully. Letting you die quickly and peacefully is how I can fulfill our friendship of so many years.”
Chi Yanzhou: "..."
This was truly the first time he had ever heard of someone being sent to their death as a way of fulfilling a favor.
To die so cleanly and peacefully... That's utter nonsense!
He's about to die, how could he possibly die peacefully and neatly?
Also, when did he ever wrong Aunt Zhao?
This is utterly baffling!
Chi Yanzhou was very anxious, fearing that he would die inexplicably.
When he felt Aunt Zhao start to pry at him, Chi Yanzhou's heart jumped into his throat.
However, he did not feel any pain.
Just as he was filled with resentment, despair, and helpless anxiety as he awaited death, he suddenly felt a weight on his body.
Under immense pressure, Chi Yanzhou almost couldn't catch his breath, wishing he could jump up on the spot and perform a comeback from a vegetative state.
"You finally couldn't resist and made a move." Wei Ziyi pressed Aunt Zhao down on the bed and spoke coldly.
"You really were sent to spy on me. Let me go, let me go..." Aunt Zhao struggled painfully as her hands were tied behind her back.
She was, after all, quite old and not a professional, and was almost unable to move under Wei Ziyi's control.
Wei Ziyi pulled her up and dragged her outside.
"Hmph, let you go? You almost killed Commander Chi, how could I let you go? You can tell him what you have to say when the leader returns!"
After feeling suffocated, Chi Yanzhou finally recovered and was able to breathe normally again.
As the sounds around him faded into the distance, Chi Yanzhou knew that Wei Ziyi had taken Aunt Zhao away.
He had faced death countless times on missions, but never before had he felt so powerless and terrified.
Perhaps it's because I have too many worries in my heart that I've become afraid of death.
He was not afraid to die on the battlefield, but he was unwilling to die in the enemy's treacherous schemes.
They were even more unwilling to die here without any power to resist.
He's a married man now, how could he be willing to die without ever having seen his wife?
Thankfully, thankfully, he survived the ordeal.
Although he is still in a vegetative state.
As Chi Yanzhou thought about it, he couldn't help but silently pray in his heart: he hoped that his father could do a good job and collect all the medicinal materials needed to treat him as soon as possible, so that his wife could help him with the treatment and he could wake up sooner.
Instead of lying in bed like this now, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
...
In the secret base.
Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly after hearing Yan Hu's assessment, "Yes, there are only a few people who can get close to Chi Yanzhou, and Aunt Zhao is also among the suspects."
"The reason why the other party arranged for Wang Qi to inject Chi Yanzhou with poison this time should be a two-birds-with-one-stone plan. If Wang Qi can succeed, that would be the best. If not, then he can take the blame for Aunt Zhao and let Aunt Zhao continue to lie low at home, waiting for an opportunity to make a move."
"Fortunately, the operation to treat Wang Qi was kept secret enough that they shouldn't have received any news and wouldn't be so desperate as to take action against Chi Yanzhou."
Yan Hu said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say. Since they've made up their minds to target Yan Zhou, they won't give up easily."
"Wang Qi's attempt failed, so it was only a matter of time before Aunt Zhao took action. Fortunately, the leadership had made arrangements in advance, otherwise, if she had made her move while we were away, it would have been a real problem."
Xia Yuhuan was stunned upon hearing this: Had it been planned all along? Did Chi Shaokang still not lift the surveillance on Aunt Zhao after Wang Qi was arrested?
Seeing Xia Yuhuan's somewhat dazed expression, Yan Hu chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten there's a new person in the family?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan suddenly realized: "Uncle Yan, are you talking about Ziyi? She was specially arranged by you to protect Chi Yanzhou?"
"Yes, she is an extremely rare and outstanding female soldier. Ever since you told the leader about your suspicions, the leader has been very concerned and has been keeping an eye on her."
"But later he felt that it was not safe to just keep an eye on the outside world, and he could not take care of the situation at home, so he arranged for someone to go directly into the Chi family to keep an eye on Aunt Zhao."
"After Wang Qi's incident, the leaders were worried that she might be so audacious as to target his family, so they didn't rush to have Wei Ziyi withdraw. Now it seems that was just right."
"That's good." Xia Yuhuan completely relaxed upon hearing this.
She went out every day these days, actually because she was very worried about Chi Yanzhou. She was afraid that if Aunt Zhao was really a bad person, she would take advantage of their absence to harm Chi Yanzhou.
But because Wei Ziyi was now at home, she thought that since Wang Qi had just been captured and the other party had tried to assassinate him, they wouldn't easily take action against Chi Yanzhou, like protecting Aunt Zhao. So she was able to leave home with peace of mind to deal with Wang Qi's situation.
She also wanted to wake Wang Qi up as soon as possible and confirm Aunt Zhao's identity so that she could take her down and completely resolve the crisis in her family.
Now that it's confirmed that Aunt Zhao was the one who poisoned Chi Yanzhou, and with Wei Ziyi keeping an eye on things, there's no need to worry about Chi Yanzhou's safety.
As the two were talking, someone hurried in looking for Yan Hu and whispered something to him.
Seeing that he looked serious after talking to the other party, Xia Yuhuan subconsciously felt that something might have happened to the Chi family.
