Chapter 113 Wen Rong is sick Wen Jiaqi

did what she said. The next day, as soon as she came back, she went straight into the kitchen to prepare fish maw, shark fin and chicken soup.

Although Wen Jiadong said that she could go to the study to find Wen Rongsheng under the pretext of asking for advice on work, Wen Jiaqi thought about it all day and couldn't think of any questions to ask her father.

The department she worked in was not very important in the company. She was responsible for some trivial matters. If she asked Wen Rongsheng about these trivial matters, she was worried that her work ability would be doubted. It would be better to stew some supplements and send them to him to show her filial piety.

In fact, Wen Jiaqi was more inclined to give the sweet soup, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was too simple and she didn't see her intention, so she let Chen Baoqin rush to the plate and taught her how to stew chicken soup.

For a family like theirs, it was easy for the hostess to cook chicken soup. They didn't have to kill the chicken or cut it into pieces, and the servants would take care of all the ingredients.

Wen Jiaqi only had to do one thing, put the ingredients in the pot, and then add water. The kitchen staff would keep an eye on the heat, so she could go to the kitchen more often if she wanted to, and if she didn't want to worry, she could just come and serve the chicken soup.

Wen Jiaqi didn't want to worry about it, but after dinner, Wen Jiadong persuaded her that leaving all the work to others would not show her filial piety, and asked her to wait until the kitchen staff finished their work and then tell them to go back.

Wen Jiaqi thought about it seriously and felt that this was the truth, so she watched it by herself.

But this job was really boring, and Wen Jiaqi was a person with little patience, so she kept moving while watching the fire, and went out for a walk from time to time.

Wen Jiadong entered the kitchen when Wen Jiaqi went out for a walk for the second time. When he walked to the stove, he took out a paper bag that was only two fingers wide when folded from his pocket, opened it, and poured the powder inside into the chicken soup.

Wen Jiadong asked the seller in detail and knew that excessive use of this thing could cause acute poisoning and be easily discovered. He was afraid that his hands would shake when he poured the large bag into the soup, so he divided it into several portions, each with a small amount.

After pouring all the powder in, Wen Jiadong rolled up the paper and put it in his trouser pocket, then quietly walked out.

Almost as soon as Wen Jiadong left, Wen Jiaqi came back. She opened the lid and took a look at the chicken soup. She thought it was almost done, so she scooped out a small half bowl to taste it, said self-indulgently, "It tastes good", and then scooped out a large bowl and carried it out on a tray.

Arriving at the door of the study, Wen Jiaqi raised her hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Daddy, it's me."

"Come in!"

Wen Jiaqi pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile, "Daddy, I see you're so busy every night, so I cooked fish maw, shark fin and chicken soup for you."

As she spoke, she walked inside and placed the tray on a corner of the desk.

Wen Rongsheng, who was reading a document, turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "You are thoughtful."

"No, no, I just learned it with Mommy. This is my first time stewing it. I don't know if you like it, Daddy," Wen Jiaqi asked tentatively, "Do you want to try it first?"

After turning 60, Wen Rongsheng no longer dared to eat and drink as much as he did when he was young. He began to learn to maintain his health. He basically ate only 50% full for dinner, and would not eat anything until he put down his chopsticks and went to bed. At most, he would drink a glass of milk to help him sleep.

This was also the reason why he was busy working in the study at night but did not ask the kitchen to prepare snacks.

But considering that this was Wen Jiaqi's first time cooking chicken soup, Wen Rongsheng thought about it and picked up the soup spoon, drank a mouthful of soup and said, "It tastes good."

Wen Jiaqi said with joy, "If you like it, drink more."

Seeing the expectant expression on Wen Jiaqi's face, Wen Rongsheng thought for a moment, picked up the bowl and ate all the shark fin chicken, drank all the soup, and then said, "Don't make chicken soup tomorrow." A little reluctant.

Wen Jiaqi didn't notice the reluctance of Wen Rongsheng when drinking the soup, she just felt that Daddy was sympathizing with her hard work, and said with a smile, "Okay." In her heart, she was thinking what kind of sweet soup she would make for Daddy tomorrow?

Wen Rongsheng didn't know what Wen Jiaqi was thinking. After she left, he continued to look at the documents. He was busy until half past nine before going upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

Wen Rongsheng didn't sleep well, which is a common problem among the elderly. The older they get, the less they sleep. Usually, he would drink a glass of milk before going to bed, but tonight he had chicken soup and it wasn't digested before going to bed, so he couldn't drink anything else.

Maybe because of this, Wen Rongsheng didn't sleep until the early morning before he slowly fell asleep.

Usually, even if he had insomnia, he would always get up very early in the morning, but this night he slept until after seven o'clock. When the three people in the second room were having dinner, he didn't see anyone, so he asked the housekeeper to come up and call him.

Wen Rongsheng was awakened by a knock on the door. He suddenly opened his eyes and turned on the bedside lamp. He looked at the alarm clock again and realized that he had overslept.

After a quick wash, he came to the restaurant. The two people from the second room were still there. Chen Baoqin saw him and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you today? Why do you look not so good?"

"I didn't sleep well last night." Wen Rongsheng wiped his face and said.

Chen Baoqin asked casually: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Wen Jiadong was worried. Although the seller said that ordinary hospitals could not find out, he did not dare to believe it. After hearing Chen Baoqin's suggestion, he could not help but worry that Wen Rongsheng really went to the hospital for examination.

But because he was guilty, he did not dare to stop it and could only hold his breath and listen.

Wen Rongsheng waved his hand and said, "No, it's an old problem, and it's useless to go to the hospital."

Hearing him say this, Chen Baoqin did not insist, but only said, "You should pay more attention to your health. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital as soon as possible."

Wen Jiadong breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Jiaqi echoed, "Mommy is right, Daddy, you must take care of yourself."

Feeling the care of the mother and daughter of the second room, Wen Rongsheng said warmly, "Okay."

...

That night, Wen Jiaqi knocked on the door of Wen Rongsheng's study again and brought him a bowl of sugar water.

Wen Rongsheng couldn't refuse the kindness, so he drank up the sugar water, and said in a roundabout way that he had eaten a lot in the evening and was not hungry. After Wen Jiaqi speculated, she felt that Wen Rongsheng felt that the amount of sugar water was too much, so she reduced it by half the next day.

Wen Rongsheng had no choice but to point out that after drinking the bowl of sugar water, he could not drink hot milk at night, which affected his sleep. Wen Jiaqi quickly started thinking and sent a bowl of ginger milk the next day.

After drinking the sugar water for a week, Wen Rongsheng not only suffered from headaches and insomnia, but also developed symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and general fatigue.

Rich people are afraid of death, and Wen Rongsheng is no exception.

When the symptoms of headache and insomnia first appeared, he could still comfort himself that it was an old problem. When other symptoms appeared one by one, he could not sit still and rushed to the hospital for examination.

After the examination, it was found that there was indeed something wrong with his body, but it was not a big problem, so he did not stay in the hospital and only took the right medicine back.

However, after taking medicine for several days, the symptoms did not improve at all, but became more serious. So Wen Rongsheng went to the hospital more frequently and changed several hospitals.

But the doctors at several hospitals were confused. They didn't understand why his symptoms were getting worse even though he was taking the medicine on time.

Some doctors suggested that Wen Rongsheng be hospitalized for treatment, but the company was busy recently, and as the absolute head of Lirong, once the news that he was seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized spread, it would definitely cause the stock price to fall, so after consideration, Wen Rongsheng did not stay in the hospital.

Just two days later, Wen Rongsheng fainted at a shareholders' meeting and was carried into an ambulance in front of all Lirong employees.

Because there were too many witnesses, even if Lirong Group wanted to suppress the news, it was powerless.

The next morning, all major newspapers and news channels were reporting the news that Wen Rongsheng was seriously ill and comatose, and Lirong's stock began to fall rapidly.

Only after Wen Rongsheng woke up and accepted an interview on a news program did the rate of decline of Li Rong's stock slow down and even began to rise.

But the news was still hot, but the focus changed from discussing whether Li Rong Group could maintain its glory after Wen Rongsheng's death to what disease Wen Rongsheng had.

Wen Rongsheng kept this news very secret.

If he had a minor illness, it would be fine. Even if it was a little more serious, he had the money to live for another ten or even several decades. If this news was leaked, Li Rong might be turbulent, but he was confident that he could remain stable. However,

his illness did not seem to be serious, but the scope was a bit wide. Every time he had a checkup, it seemed that there was a problem with a new organ, but the source of the disease could not be found, and no matter how much medicine he took, it would not be cured. It was not

a terminal illness, but it was better than a terminal illness.

In the past, Wen Rongsheng thought that he could live to at least 70 or 80, but now he doesn't know, and maybe he will be lucky to get through this year.

So when Wen Rongsheng went to the hospital for a checkup, he specifically asked the hospital to keep it confidential.

But some things are hard to keep secret once a third person knows them. Within two days, a newspaper published an anonymous interview with a hospital staff member, describing Wen Rongsheng's symptoms in detail and revealing that doctors in major hospitals in Hong Kong were helpless.

As soon as the news came out, the stock price of Lirong, which had just rebounded, began to fall again. The newspapers also tried their best to catch the heat. One newspaper even opened a special topic to discuss what disease Wen Rongsheng had.

After receiving the news, Wen Rongsheng hurriedly arranged to be discharged from the hospital and attended a public event, trying to prove to the citizens of Hong Kong that he was in good health.

At the same time, Wen Rongsheng also had people inform newspapers and TV stations not to report news about him.

Wen Rongsheng was the richest man, so naturally everyone was willing to buy his account.

However, before the news articles were taken down, Wen Jiadong pretended to be a reader and sent speculations about Wen Rongsheng's condition to the newspapers that had special reports. The speculations had already been published.

The assistant of a doctor in charge of Wen Rongsheng's condition was eating at an ice cream parlor when he accidentally heard the discussion of diners who had read the newspaper. His eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly called the doctor.

Hearing this guess, the doctor's first reaction was that it was impossible: "His condition is getting worse little by little. If it was poisoning, it would definitely not have achieved such an effect in one go. The richer the person, the more afraid of death he is. He pays attention to everything from eating, dressing, living and traveling. It is impossible for someone to poison him for a long time without being discovered."

The assistant was almost convinced, but felt something was wrong and asked: "If it was not poisoning, why didn't the medicine work on Mr. Wen? Instead, his condition is getting worse? Is it possible that we are out of touch?"

The doctor on the other end of the phone was stumped.

Instinctively, they think that rich people cherish their lives and will not be poisoned, so they have never considered the possibility of poisoning before. But, what if it is really poisoning? If they continue to treat according to the current thinking, will the patient miss the best chance for treatment?

The doctor took a deep breath and said, "I'll discuss this with Dean Zheng."

After changing direction, Wen Rongsheng's treatment soon made new progress and was confirmed to be thallium poisoning.

"Thallium poisoning? How is that possible?" Wen Rongsheng's first reaction was disbelief, "I haven't come into contact with this thing at all?!"

"Thallium salt is colorless and tasteless and can be dissolved in water. Maybe you have come into contact with it, but you don't know it." The hospital director said carefully, "In fact, we tend to think that you have been poisoned for a long time."

"How..." Wen Rongsheng stopped talking before he could even say the word "maybe".

Since this thing is colorless, tasteless and can be dissolved in water, how can he be sure that he has not been poisoned for a long time? Moreover, being poisoned for a long time is better than having a terminal illness. The former can always be cured with medicine, but the latter is difficult to cure no matter how rich you are.

Wen Rongsheng quickly calmed down and asked, "What are the poisoning channels? How long have I been poisoned?"

"It's possible with food and water. Generally speaking, the perpetrators of long-term poisoning are people around them," the hospital director said. "Because the amount is uncertain, the specific time is difficult to determine, but the first time of poisoning should be before you enter the hospital for treatment for the first time."

Wen Rongsheng thought along the lines of thought given by the other party.

He usually invites a lot of people, but he doesn't always agree to everyone's invitation to dinner, and the people and places he eats with will change every time he eats, so these people can basically be eliminated.

Therefore, the suspects are most likely hiding in the company and his home. They may be canteen employees, assistant secretaries, chefs and servants at home, and... Wen Jiaqi!

Thinking of Wen Jiaqi, Wen Rongsheng's eyes widened suddenly. He remembered!

The first time he suffered from insomnia and headache was after drinking the fish maw, shark fin and chicken soup cooked by Wen Jiaqi. Before he was admitted to the hospital, Wen Jiaqi would cook sugar water for him every night.

Realizing this possibility, Wen Rongsheng's expression turned completely cold, and he asked the hospital director if he could arrange a few people to help him identify the source of the poisoning.

The hospital director would naturally not refuse. Only by finding the source can they treat the symptoms. If they can cure Wen Rongsheng, it will be beneficial to their hospital.

Although Wen Rongsheng was most suspicious of Wen Jiaqi, he did not want to let go of other possibilities, so he arranged for bodyguards to go to the company and home respectively.

Wen Jiaqi is in the company now. She wants to go to the hospital to show her filial piety, but Wen Jiadong persuades her that the more times like this, the harder she should work, and it is enough to visit the hospital after work or on holidays.

But she is in logistics and is not well-informed. After learning that Wen Rongsheng arranged people to search the company cafeteria and the general manager's office, she is as confused as other people in the department and does not think about Wen Rongsheng's illness at all.

Wen Jiadong is also in the branch company now. Because he knows that Wen Rongsheng is suspicious, it is no good to stand out too much at this time, so he does the same thing as he persuades Wen Jiaqi.

He plans to wait until Wen Jiaqi goes down, and then think of ways to please Wen Rongsheng and bring up the matter of inheritance to Wen Jiaqi again.

After this incident, even if Wen Rongsheng didn't want to send Wen Jiaqi to prison because of their father-daughter relationship, he would definitely hate her. Wen Jiadong believed that this time, Wen Jiaqi would not refuse his proposal again.

As for whether Wen Rongsheng would object to adopting Wen Jiaqi's child, Wen Jiadong was not very worried. He could forgive what Wen Jiaxin did, so why would he get angry with the child because of Wen Jiaqi?

Moreover, after the adoption, Wen Jiaqi would not be the mother of the child. He would ask to keep the child's background secret and only say that he was the grandson of the Wen family.

He believed that Wen Rongsheng would be tempted by this proposal.

So when the people and doctors arranged by Wen Rongsheng came to the house, except for the housekeeper and the servants, only Chen Baoqin was at home.

She had not been to the foundation these few days, and basically ran back and forth between the hospital and home. Because Wen Rongsheng kept vomiting a few days ago, the doctor suggested that he eat light food, so she did not send soup to the hospital.

Yesterday, Wen Rongsheng's condition stabilized a little, and he didn't vomit as much. Chen Baoqin thought that he didn't eat much these days and was not getting enough nutrition, so she stewed a pot of soup in the morning and prepared to send it to him at noon.

Who would have thought that before the soup was cooked, the people arranged by Wen Rongsheng rushed into the kitchen, saw the pot

of soup on the stove, and asked to check it. Chen Baoqin was of course unwilling, because that was the soup she stewed for Wen Rongsheng! And what was the meaning of them checking the soup she stewed? Suspecting that she had poisoned Wen Rongsheng?

But Chen Baoqin's unwillingness was useless, because it was Wen Rongsheng who said so, so the soup was tested in front of Chen Baoqin, but no problems were found.

Chen Baoqin was delighted to learn of the result and asked them to pay compensation and apologize.

The leader was also happy to apologize directly and then asked them to continue the investigation. They not only checked the kitchen, but also the room where the maid lived, and finally went to Wen Jiaqi's room.

When they checked the maid's room, Chen Baoqin had no objection, and she also wanted to know what caused Wen Rongsheng's illness. But when they saw that they were going to check Wen Jiaqi's room, they became unhappy again. They stood at the door and asked angrily: "What are you doing? Who asked you to check my daughter's room? Rongsheng is her biological father, can she harm him?"

The leader was very troubled and said helplessly: "Mrs. Chen, Mr. Wen has instructed us to focus on checking the eldest daughter's room."

"Impossible! Jiaqi is his biological daughter," Chen Baoqin said loudly, "I don't believe he would suspect Jiaqi!"

The leader had no choice but to call Wen Rongsheng to explain the situation. After listening, the latter asked him to give the phone to Chen Baoqin.

After hearing what Wen Rongsheng said, although Chen Baoqin was not happy, she still stepped aside and watched them walk into Wen Jiaqi's room. Fearing that they were bribed to frame Wen Jiaqi, she did not leave when they were checking, but kept walking back and forth in the room, watching them search.

After searching for about seven or eight minutes, someone dug out a package of crystal-like things from the depths of the closet. The doctor who came with them looked at it and said, "This is it."

Chen Baoqin was shocked: "What is this? How could there be such messy things in Jiaqi's room? Did you secretly put them in her closet?"

The leader had already experienced her difficulties and did not want to say more to her. He only said, "We will report the specific situation to Mr. Wen. If you have any questions, you can go to the hospital to ask him."

After that, he asked someone to hold Chen Baoqin back, and he took the others away. When she was released and chased out, the group had already withdrawn.

Chen Baoqin stamped her feet in anger. It took her a while to remember the important matter. She quickly took out her cell phone and called Wen Jiaqi. She asked, "Jiaqi, tell Mommy honestly, does your daddy's illness have anything to do with you?"

Wen Jiaqi was stunned by the question: "What does daddy's illness have to do with me?"

"You are still hiding it from me. Your daddy just arranged for someone to check. They found a package in your closet in the cloakroom," Chen Baoqin said loudly, "Tell me honestly, what is that thing?"

"What could be in my cloakroom?" Wen Jiaqi on the other end of the phone was still confused, "Mommy, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Wen Jiaqi's confused voice, Chen Baoqin didn't know whether to believe her biological daughter or the people sent by Wen Rongsheng. Finally, she sighed and said, "Go to the hospital quickly! Something happened!"

Twenty minutes later, the three people from the second room gathered outside Wen Rongsheng's hospital ward.

Wen Jiadong was the last to arrive. He remembered his character and asked as soon as he came in, "Mommy, what happened? You said that Dad sent someone to find something in my eldest sister's room. What exactly is that thing?"

After arriving at the hospital, Chen Baoqin wanted to go directly to see Wen Rongsheng, but the bodyguards at the door stopped her, so she still didn't know the specific situation and could only repeat what happened in the morning.

Wen Jiaqi had heard it once, but she was still at a loss after hearing it again. She said with a tearful face, "Mommy, I didn't do anything..."

"Enough!"

Wen Jiadong interrupted Wen Jiaqi with a shout, "You said you didn't do anything, so how could the people arranged by Daddy find things in your room? Could he have wronged you, his own daughter? Instead of quibbling here, you might as well think about how to apologize to Daddy!"

"But I really..."

Wen Jiaqi wanted to deny it, but Wen Jiadong didn't even look at her. He turned to Chen Baoqin and said, "Mommy, don't indulge our eldest sister anymore! She will drag us down like this!"

Chen Baoqin, who wanted her son to help her daughter think of a solution, chose to remain silent after hesitating.

Seeing that Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiadong didn't believe her, Wen Jiaqi couldn't help crying out loud because she felt wronged!

...

[Wen Jiaqi was locked up.]

Wen Yue just heard the system's voice from the VIP channel, "Huh?" She asked: [Didn't Wen Jiaqi also ingest thallium salt? She didn't use this to defend herself?]

[She defended herself and had a checkup, but she only ingested it twice, and the amount was very small each time, and there was nothing wrong with her body. After the results came out, Wen Jiadong said beside her that this was a self-torture trick,] the system muttered, [I don't know if Wen Rongsheng believed it.]

Wen Yue thought that even if she didn't believe it completely, she believed it about 80% or 90%, but looking at Wen Rongsheng's attitude, it seemed that he didn't intend to make a big fuss. That's right. He has always been a man who cares about face and reputation. He certainly doesn't want the outside world to know that he was poisoned by his own daughter.

Wen Yue thought about it and asked: [What's going on with Wen Jiaxin?]

Wen Jiaxin is going to such great lengths. She definitely doesn't want to deal with Wen Jiaqi, who doesn't pose much of a threat. Besides, she wanted to use Wen Jiadong as a weapon from the beginning.

[Wen Jiaxin told her spies to find a chance to complain to Wen Jiaqi.] The Wen family has many servants, and the personnel composition is relatively complex. The second and third rooms have bribed some servants.

Although after Xu Meifeng went to jail, all those who depended on her, whether openly or secretly, fled, it was not difficult for Wen Jiaxin to bribe one or two as spies.

But she has always been very cautious and rarely contacted her informants, otherwise she would not always be a step behind in receiving the news from the Wen family.

This time she was going to spend a lot of money.

Wen Yue understood and said, "Wen Jiaxin contacted a private detective to investigate the cause of Xu Meifeng's death. The evidence can be sent to Chen Baoqin."

The system instantly became excited: [Are you ready to take action? ! ]

[It's time. ]

Wen Yue responded, smiled and went forward to hug Yi Huai who came to pick him up at the airport, and walked out with him.

After getting in the car, Yi Huai asked: "Go directly to the hospital?"

"Yes, let's go to the hospital."

Yi Huai responded, asked the driver to drive to the hospital where Wen Rongsheng lived, and then briefly told Wen Yue about the situation in Hong Kong. But he was an outsider after all, and it was not easy to find out about the Wen family, so the information he received was not as detailed as the system knew.

But the system's source of information could not be disclosed. If he only relied on private investigation, Wen Yue would definitely not be as well-informed as Yi Huai, so he pretended to listen.

Before getting off the car at the hospital, Wen Yue whispered to Yi Huai: "Can you arrange for someone to go to Lan Kwai Fong to contact a drug dealer named Chen Dayou, and then call the police?"

Chen Dayou was one of the two people that Wen Jiaxin hired to act. In order to lure Wen Jiadong into the trap, the buyer's confession of his situation was basically true, so this person could not withstand investigation.

And the relationship between him and Wen Jiaxin was not reliable. He agreed to act in that play for the reward she gave him and to cheat Wen Jiadong of money.

Wen Yue planned to use him to lead out Wen Jiaxin who was hiding behind the scenes.

It is not difficult to find someone who can catch Chen Dayou, but Wen Yue has to guard against Wen Rongsheng, so it is not convenient for her to find this person herself.

Yi Huai didn't know who Chen Dayou was, but he didn't ask much and agreed.

After the brief exchange, the two walked into the hospital gate together, took the elevator to the floor where Wen Rongsheng lived, and arrived outside his ward.

But they did not see Wen Rongsheng awake. The blow of being poisoned by his own daughter was not small for him. After dealing with Wen Jiaqi, he fell into a coma.

Looking at Chen Baoqin who was standing outside the ward with a sad face, and Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin who had their own ulterior motives, Wen Yue did not stay in the hospital for long. She consulted the doctor to understand Wen Rongsheng's condition and then left. Seeing

her coming and going in a hurry, Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most worried about was that they would deal with the person they wanted to deal with, and then Wen Yue would come to her senses and admit her mistakes, leaving them with nothing.

She was unwilling to stay longer on such an important filial piety occasion, which showed that she was still holding a grudge.

Not worth worrying about!

Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin thought in tacit understanding.

At the same time, another person who was not worth worrying about in Wen Jiadong's heart had already learned from the servants through the door that he had sneaked into her room.

Thinking back on what happened during this period of time, and realizing that every step she took was actually controlled by Wen Jiadong, Wen Jiaqi shouted hatefully: "Wen Jiadong!" After

the voice fell, she raised her hand and slapped the door, shouting: "Someone come! Let me out! I want to see my dad! I want to tell him the truth!"
