Chef Zhang persisted, "You say there's no problem? Don't try to argue! When Manager Wang agreed to let you provide the menu, I refused because I was afraid something like this would happen. I've worked here for six or seven years. You can ask around, and there's never been a problem. Less than two times after the new menu came in, this kind of trouble has arisen. Whose fault is this?"
"Yes! I eat here often. Chef Zhang is the head chef here."
"Hasn't this happened before?"
"Why would this island restaurant use a menu provided by a young woman? This is playing with human lives!"
“That’s too much!”
Seeing that the situation is getting more and more serious.
Ji Huaian stopped him loudly: "Everyone calm down first. The patient is still breathing, but the condition is critical. We have to send him to the hospital first. As for my wife, there is absolutely no problem with her menu."
"Why should it be what you say?"
Master Zhang roared, "You are his man, of course you speak for her."
Ji Huaian's gaze fell on him, his expression gloomy and cold as a knife.
A cold and gloomy breath directly strangled Master Zhang's neck. For a moment, he felt that the other party was going to kill him.
The people gathered in the front also felt the same emotion.
The burning anger was extinguished to a certain extent.
Ji Huaian took out his military ID from his coat pocket and said in a cold and serious voice, "I can use the clothes I'm wearing as a guarantee. This matter has nothing to do with my lover."
"If there's really a problem, you can go directly to the army and sue me!"
"Now, everyone must stop panicking and save people first!" After saying that, he gave Lin Jiaojiao a soothing look, walked forward and called two people to carry the man on the ground out.
"Mom, I'm scared."
Lin Jiaojiao looked down at the pitiful appearance of the two little guys and quickly comforted them: "Don't be afraid."
The two children were already frightened. They threw themselves into Lin Jiaojiao's arms, staring at everything that was happening before their eyes.
"Master Fang, I have something to talk to you about!"
When Zhang Fang heard Lin Jiaojiao's call, he calmed down and hurried over.
…
In the hospital.
A group of people crowded at the door of the operating room waiting.
"Don't worry too much, it'll be fine."
"..." Lin Jiaojiao looked at Ji Huaian who was holding her hand and comforting her softly, and remembered how he had protected her without hesitation and believed in her in the hotel lobby just now.
Everything she experienced from childhood to adulthood taught her one thing.
In this world, the only person you can trust and treat sincerely is yourself.
So no matter how big the difficulties or how terrible the situation is, she can always handle it calmly.
Because no matter how dangerous it is, there are only two outcomes for her.
Either struggle forward or stay where you are and wait to die!
She wanted to live a good life.
A heart that is well trained will naturally become invulnerable to swords and guns.
Until that moment just now, she was really touched.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be protected and trusted wholeheartedly by someone!
"Do you trust me so much?"
"certainly."
"Why?"
"Because I trust you."
Lin Jiaojiao felt a shock in her heart, but her emotions were quickly interrupted.
Snap!
The door to the operating room opened.
The man who had just fainted was pushed out.
A group of people rushed up and started asking questions in a flurry.
"Make way! Don't block the way here! Go to the ward first!"
Ji Huaian heard the doctor's yell and rushed to maintain order.
In the ward.
As soon as the doctor pushed the person to the position, he was surrounded by people again.
"Who are the family members? Find someone who can speak and come out and speak!"
"I, I'm a family member, and the person inside is my eldest brother."
Wang Dong was the first to step forward.
Ji Huaian and Lin Jiaojiao also squeezed to the front.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw another soldier was present. He then explained, "The patient has food poisoning. Fortunately, he was brought in early, and his condition is temporarily stable."
"It's really poisoned!"
"What else can you two say? You woman are so vicious that you actually poisoned my brother!"
Wang Dong was so excited that he wanted to get closer to Lin Jiaojiao.
But Ji Huaian held him down: "Let the doctor finish what he has to say first."
Wang Dong's arm was in so much pain that he was unable to resist and could only accept defeat.
The doctor explained.
"There are many reasons for food poisoning, including food spoilage, food incompatibility (two foods cannot be put together), or the patient's own body has hidden conditions that they are not aware of. These are all possible causes."
"So, it wasn't poisoned?"
"I can't be 100% sure. I need to see what he eats before I can tell."
"Yes! Doctor, we have it here!"
Zhang Fang happened to come in from outside and hurriedly handed the shrimp and mushroom soup to the doctor.
This was something Lin Jiaojiao had secretly asked her to bring before leaving.
The doctor immediately took it over to study it.
Zhang Fang took out two sweet potatoes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Jiaojiao.
"Fill the stomachs of the two children."
Lin Jiaojiao suddenly realized and thanked him in a low voice.
He looked at the two little guys following Ji Huaian again, feeling a little guilty.
"Let's fill the child's stomach first."
Ji Huaian took the sweet potato and looked at the doctor over there, with some worry in his eyes: "You..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
"That's not right!"
The doctor's words instantly caught everyone's attention.
Lin Jiaojiao hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"These mushrooms are poisonous!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"I told you it was poison!"
"A bunch of black-hearted people!"
"Shut up!" Lin Jiaojiao glanced coldly at the people who had just spoken. "If you don't know, don't interrupt. Just listen carefully. We're here. If we find out something, it's not too late to denounce us. Are you deliberately confusing us and hiding the truth?"
The two people who were called out suddenly panicked.
"What nonsense are you talking about! The person lying on the bed is my good friend?"
"Wang Cheng is my next-door neighbor. How could I possibly harm him?"
Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to waste any more time talking to them, so she turned to look at Master Zhang who was sitting in the corner with a guilty look on his face.
"My recipe says shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and seafood mushrooms. There's no way these three are poisonous? Then what about these poisonous mushrooms? Master Zhang, please explain."
"Explain what?"
Master Zhang was visibly panicking, not daring to look Lin Jiaojiao in the eye. "I just followed the recipe you gave me, and the mushrooms were prepared by the chef. How could I..."
“Nonsense!”
A young chef stepped forward and anxiously explained, "Although Xiao Song and I were in charge of preparing the dishes, it was you, Chef Zhang, who told me in the afternoon that I had to choose the three types of mushrooms myself. You said that in the main kitchen, and many chefs heard it. Don't be so blaming me!"
