Chapter 942 Goodbye Cheng Qi
The Cheng family is the descendant of the Poison Clan.
In addition to Xu Qingya, another reason why Organization X is willing to cooperate with the Cheng family is that the Cheng family can provide Organization X with technical support for the development of pharmaceuticals.
As the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Qi holds the poison recipe left by his ancestors. Ruan Qi doesn't believe that he is completely unaware of the ingredients of Potion X.
After saying goodbye to Nie Beilou, Ruan Qi went directly to the detention center.
Compared to the last time they met, Cheng Qi looked even more haggard this time, and his hair, which was once as black as a young man's, had turned mostly white.
He sat on the chair and looked up at Ruan Qi outside the window with a complicated look: "What are you doing here again?"
Ruan Qi: "Something happened to the Cheng family's Guyun Private Kitchen."
Cheng Qi has not been able to eat or sleep well in the detention center these days. He has no interest in listening to the radio or watching the news, and has no idea what is happening in the outside world.
He didn't take it seriously when he heard about the incident at Guyun Private Kitchen. After all, it was just a restaurant, so how big of a fuss could it cause?
However, Ruan Qi's next words made all the blood in his body freeze.
"There's been a mass food poisoning incident at Guyun Private Kitchen. Forty-six diners have been poisoned, all suffering from foaming at the mouth, shock, and coma. They're currently receiving treatment in the hospital. Twenty-four hours have passed, and they're still unconscious. I've checked their consciousness seas, and they're all damaged."
Ruan Qi's voice slowly rang out in the visiting room, and the expression on Cheng Qi's face gradually froze.
His eyes gradually widened, as if he had heard something horrible, and bloodshot gradually appeared in his cloudy eyes.
"You mean..." he said with difficulty, "their sea of consciousness... is damaged?"
Ruan Qi: "Yes. It sounds incredible that food poisoning can actually cause damage to the sea of consciousness. Cheng Qi, you are a descendant of the Poison Sect and have a deep understanding of medicine. You should know what it means to have a damaged sea of consciousness."
Cheng Qi naturally knew.
There is no way that food poisoning can cause damage to the sea of consciousness.
The reason why those diners became like this was not because of food poisoning, but... the drug of Organization X!
"...Xu, Qing, Ya!" Cheng Qi's lips trembled as he squeezed out the name from between his teeth.
Seeing his intense reaction, Ruan Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "It seems that you really don't know anything about this?"
"How should I know!"
Cheng Qi was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His old eyes were red as he roared, "The Cheng family is my property! How could I poison the Cheng family's restaurant? Isn't that courting death?!"
Cheng Qi has been telling lies all his life, but this sentence is true.
He was the head of the Cheng family. For the sake of his own wealth and glory, he couldn't possibly poison anyone in his own restaurant. Even if he wanted to, he would have to do it in a restaurant owned by a rival.
But he never expected that Xu Qingya would be so conceited that she would dare to tamper with the Cheng family's restaurant right under his nose!
Cheng Qi found it unbelievable.
Ruan Qi was also baffled. She looked at Cheng Qi as if he were a fool and asked, "You and Xu Qingya have been sleeping together for twenty years. You didn't know she was cheating on you, and you didn't know she poisoned the Cheng family restaurant. Cheng Qi, how on earth did you survive these twenty years?"
Cheng Qi: “…”
Cheng Qi almost vomited blood.
He clutched his chest uncomfortably, his tone darkening, "I, I didn't expect her heart to be so deep... She's the wife of the Cheng family. I thought no matter how excessive she was, she would still consider the Cheng family..."
However, Xu Qingya was much more cruel than he thought.
The Cheng family was just a stepping stone for her. Everyone, including Cheng Qi, was just a tool for Xu Qingya to climb up the ladder.
Cheng Qi has been dominating the imperial capital for decades, always causing harm to others. He thinks he can control everyone, but in the end, he discovers that he is the biggest enemy and the most miserable tool in the world.
I'm taking the day off today. I had a heart attack last night and went to the hospital early this morning. I'm taking a day off today and will update as normal tomorrow.
