Chapter 78 Why are you looking at me like that?
When Shen Lai woke up, it was already early morning the next day.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the white ceiling and the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
Shen Lai felt severe pain in his lower abdomen when he moved. At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears, "Are you awake?"
Chen Lai turned his head with difficulty and met Pei Jingyan's deep eyes. He was sitting in front of the hospital bed, still wearing the suit he wore yesterday.
Shen Lai sat up with difficulty, leaned against the headboard, and said weakly: "Where is this?"
Pei Jingyan tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "Hospital."
Chen Lai paused, then she remembered that she suddenly had a stomachache on the show yesterday. She only remembered Pei Jingyan carrying her onto the boat, and she couldn't remember what happened afterwards. She only remembered a voice constantly comforting her in her ear, saying "Don't be afraid."
Shen Lai's dry throat rolled slightly.
Were those words said by Pei Jingyan?
But she quickly came to her senses. Even if Pei Jingyan said that, it was probably for the baby in her belly.
After all, this was what Pei Jingyan said himself.
Shen Lai laughed at himself, quickly calmed down, and asked, "Why do I suddenly have a stomachache when I'm fine?"
Pei Jingyan didn't notice the complicated expression that flashed across her face. A dark look flashed across his eyes. "The doctor said there are trace amounts of toxins in your body."
"Trace amounts of toxin?" Shen Lai was stunned for a moment, "Am I poisoned?"
Pei Jingyan hummed solemnly.
Shen Lai was confused. "Strange, I didn't eat anything, how could I be poisoned?"
Pei Jingyan looked at her deeply. "What did you eat after returning to the camp yesterday?"
Shen Lai thought for a moment, "We started the mission as soon as we returned to the camp yesterday morning. I only ate what the production team prepared..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Lai's voice seemed to be stuck in her throat. She looked up at Pei Jingyan and asked, "Could it be that Raspberry is not clean?"
Pei Jingyan didn't answer. He pondered for a moment, "Bai Hansui is in the same group with you, how come she's okay?"
Bai Hansui is a pregnant woman like Chen Lai. Logically, she also ate raspberries, so shouldn't Chen Lai be the only one in trouble?
Shen Lai spoke truthfully, "She said her stomach was uncomfortable today, so I was the one doing the tasting."
In fact, Shen Lai also felt something was wrong at the time, but she didn't think much about it. Now thinking about it, Bai Hansui seemed to have known that something bad would happen after eating that raspberry.
Chen Lai thought, could it be that Bai Hansui had tampered with the props?
But where did Bai Hansui get cyanide in these desolate mountains?
Hearing Shen Lai's words, Pei Jingyan's eyes became a little gloomy. At this moment, Pei Jingyan's cell phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, stood up and went outside the ward to answer the phone.
"explain."
"Mr. Pei, we have tested the batch of raspberries you sent us. No cyanide was detected. Only trace amounts of toxins were detected in the raspberries from Ms. Shen's group."
Pei Jingyan's eyes moved, and the coldness was hidden in the darkness.
really.
That person came specifically for Shen Lai.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lai glanced at Pei Jingyan's phone screen and asked in confusion: "Who called you?"
Pei Jingyan didn't hide it from her, "I had someone test that batch of raspberries."
Shen Lai's heart tightened when he heard this, and his eyes were fixed on Pei Jingyan, as if he vaguely guessed what he was going to say next.
As expected, Pei Jingyan continued, "Only your plate of raspberries was spiked with cyanide."
Shen Lai's hands clutched the bed sheet tightly under his body. "So you suspect that one of the guests did it to me?"
Pei Jingyan raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Who always targets you on the show?"
There is no need to guess about this matter. Apart from Bai Hansui and Huo Chilin, no one has such a deep hatred with Chen Lai.
Although Huo Chilin is not a good person, he would not do such a thing.
So there is no need to think about who the culprit is.
Shen Lai pursed his lips, "But we don't have any evidence."
Although she also felt that Bai Hansui was involved in this matter, she could not directly point the finger at Bai Hansui without evidence.
Bai Hansui couldn't be stupid enough to admit it.
Pei Jingyan said lightly: "I will take care of it."
Shen Lai looked up at him curiously, "How are you going to solve this?"
It's impossible to just let Bai Hansui admit that she is the mastermind, right?
Pei Jingyan's eyes were meaningful. "You'll know soon."
Although Shen Lai didn't know what Pei Jingyan was going to do, she didn't doubt it at all when she heard what Pei Jingyan said.
Perhaps it was because Pei Jingyan could always help her solve problems, so she subconsciously believed in Pei Jingyan.
And even for the sake of the child in her belly, Pei Jingyan would not let Bai Hansui go.
At this moment, Shen Lai suddenly thought of an important thing and asked hurriedly: "By the way, where is the child? Is he okay?"
Looking at Shen Lai's nervous expression, Pei Jingyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's okay."
Hearing this, Shen Lai actually felt a sense of relief.
Maybe she was worried that after losing the child, she would have to give Pei Jingyan another one.
She didn't want to start over from scratch with another pregnancy.
Pei Jingyan tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "Go to sleep. I will take care of this matter."
Pei Jingyan looked serious, his dark eyes staring at Chen Lai. Chen Lai blinked and said "oh" softly.
She obediently lay back on the bed, grabbed the corners of the quilt with both hands, closed her eyes again, but her mind was a little confused.
Pei Jingyan sat in front of the hospital bed and looked at Shen Lai's weak face. His eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and there was a deep heat in his eyes.
Then he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Director Miao: Go and do something for me.
At the same time, due to Shen Lai's sudden hospitalization, the program crew temporarily stopped filming.
The remaining guests were free to move around. There was a bright bonfire on the island, and the mess left over from dinner was still in the corner.
Bai Hansui returned to the tent. She lifted the curtain and saw Huo Chilin sitting inside, his expression flickering in the shadows.
"Chi Lin, so you are here. I have been looking for you everywhere."
Hearing Bai Hansui's voice, Huo Chilin slowly raised his head and stared at her in the dim light.
Bai Hansui felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huo Chilin didn't say anything and threw the thing in his hand at Bai Hansui's feet.
Bai Hansui followed his movements and looked down at her feet. When she saw clearly what it was, her whole body stiffened and a chill spread from the soles of her feet.
Didn't she throw this dress away? Why did it appear in Huo Chilin's hands?
Bai Hansui's expression was stiff, and even her smile was forced. "Chilin, where did you get this dress?"
Huo Chilin said in a low voice, "I found it in the forest."
"Forest?" Bai Hansui's mouth twitched. "When did you go there?"
Huo Chilin's deep gaze seemed to penetrate her heart. "Just when you were carrying someone in."
