Li Ying laughed in exasperation: "So sometimes when you do things, you have to sacrifice a girl's chastity in order to complete your mission?"
Ye Jingchi was stunned.
“They all say you’re a very capable person, but I never imagined that even someone as capable as you can’t escape the mundane. Without us women to support you, wouldn’t you be unable to get anywhere?” Li Ying said, picked up the plate, and strode away.
Ye Jingchi narrowed his eyes slightly. Was she mocking his incompetence, saying he needed a woman to help him?
Ye Jingchi took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but then, thinking that smoking might affect the healing of his wound, he irritably threw the cigarette on the ground.
He has never been one to like being controlled, so how could he have been so foolish as to agree to a marriage of convenience with such a woman?
After breakfast, Li Ying went to the research lab to find her second senior brother.
“I applied the medicine to him myself. He had a scar on his arm that was about ten centimeters long, and it wouldn’t disappear easily.”
In all his years of medical practice, Shi Bai has never seen a medicine that can completely remove scars.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother, I understand."
Li Ying just wanted to confirm something, and after saying a few words, she went to the pharmaceutical factory to find Jing Yingyan.
I didn't see Jing Yingyan, but I did see Sang Zhi.
"Miss Ying?!" Sang Zhi was quite surprised to run into Li Ying here.
What are you doing here?
"I'm here to find someone." Sang Zhi smiled faintly after saying this, and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Ying called out to Sang Zhi: "What is your relationship with Ye Jingchi?"
Sang Zhi stopped and turned around: "Miss Ying, didn't Commander Ye tell you?"
"I already told you, but I'm very curious why Miss Sang would agree to ruin her own reputation just to act with Ye Jingchi?"
She firmly believed that the most suspicious behavior was one without motive, and that Sang Zhi must have her own reasons for agreeing to act with Ye Jingchi.
"Commander Ye saved my life, I'm repaying his kindness," Sang Zhi said calmly.
Li Ying nodded slightly; the reason seemed impeccable.
Sang Zhi clenched her fists, turned around, and quickly left.
When Li Ying met Jing Yingyan, he looked disheveled.
What's wrong with you?
"Don't even mention it, the machines in the factory broke down, and I spent the whole morning fixing them." Jing Yingyan threw off his greasy gloves.
"You can fix machines?"
“I served as an armored soldier in the army for a while, so I’m very skilled in maintenance. I can quickly acquire shares on the condition that I repair the factory’s machines for free.” Jing Yingyan washed his hands and led Li Ying back to his office.
The finance department came and said that Director Yu hadn't come to work today, and they couldn't pay the workers' wages without his signature.
"Director Yu hasn't been to work for the past few days?"
"Yes, it's been several days, and we don't know what's going on." The finance staff was also very anxious. The workers surrounded her every day asking about their wages, and she didn't know how to answer them.
"I'll go visit Director Yu later."
The finance person then left.
Li Ying came to see Jing Yingyan not only about her second brother, but also about Yu Pingping. Now it seems she should go see Yu Pingping first.
When the two arrived at Director Yu's house, they learned that Director Yu and his son-in-law had bought a machine and had been watching it closely for the past few days, worried that something might go wrong.
"Minister Jing, Dr. Li, you've arrived! Come and see, this is a machine my son-in-law bought from abroad."
Director Yu happily introduced the huge machine that can detect human vital signs, the electrocardiograph.
Li Ying looked at the machine and shook her head slightly. Apart from letting people know that Yu Pingping was still alive, the machine had no therapeutic effect.
"This hospital has them, I think they're for the side of the heart." Jing Yingyan had seen these things at the hospital, but he didn't expect to be able to keep them at home.
“Chi En said, look at the ripples on this surface, it proves Pingping is alive. If a line appears, then it's dangerous.” Director Yu spoke with great interest, as if his daughter could wake up at any moment.
Li Ying took Yu Pingping's pulse, and then looked at Yu Pingping's eyelids and tongue. She said to Director Yu, "Your daughter is really poisoned. If we don't detoxify her body in time, I'm afraid she will be bedridden for the rest of her life."
“But Chi En said that Pingping doesn’t have any symptoms of poisoning!” Director Yu still trusted her son-in-law.
"Her poison is very strange. It should be a colorless and odorless poison, which cannot be seen on the surface. The toxin travels in the blood."
After careful observation, Li Ying determined that it was a chemical toxin; a very small amount of the toxin would cause a person to lose consciousness once it entered the bloodstream.
It is clear that the person who poisoned the person was very knowledgeable about poisons.
"This..." Director Yu hesitated again.
"Li Ying, you're trying to bewitch my father-in-law!" Chi En stormed into the house, pointing his finger at Li Ying's nose. "What exactly are you trying to do? You've repeatedly stopped me from treating Pingping. Don't you want Pingping to get better?"
Li Ying was puzzled by Chi En's attitude.
"Dr. Chi, I want to know whether you want Yu Pingping to wake up or not?"
"Nonsense! Of course I hope Pingping wakes up soon! But what you're saying about poisoning is utter nonsense! I've examined Pingping's body, and there are no signs of poisoning on her. You're saying she's poisoned, which is completely ridiculous!" Chi En believed that if he couldn't even tell if someone was poisoned after studying medicine for so many years, then he had wasted his time studying medicine.
Jing Yingyan tugged at Li Ying and said to Director Yu, "With the machine, Pingping will definitely recover quickly. But Director Yu, you still need to go to work at the factory; the finance department is very anxious."
Director Yu then realized that he hadn't been to the factory for several days.
"I'm coming right away!"
With Chi En there, Director Yu felt reassured, and Li Ying and Jing Yingyan left.
After returning home, Li Ying kept thinking about the poison in Yu Pingping's body. According to the standards of this era, there was no poison that could have such magical power to kill people invisibly.
Unless this person is like her, from the 21st century, using a new type of poison that causes brain paralysis, leaving someone in a vegetative state.
But is it possible?
Noticing someone at the door, Li Ying suddenly stood up: "Who is it?"
"Me!" Ye Jingchi leaned against the door. "My chest hurts a little. Can you take a look?"
Li Ying opened the door, and Ye Jingchi's face was somewhat pale. He leaned lazily against the door, looking rather weak and listless.
"Come in."
Li Ying stepped back, letting Ye Jingchi into the room.
"Sit down, let me take your pulse."
Li Ying gestured for Ye Jingchi to sit down, but upon smelling the tobacco odor, she withdrew her outstretched hand.
"Commander Ye, if you don't watch what you eat while taking medicine, you'll make the doctor run himself ragged. I've told you before, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, you can't smoke!"
"I just couldn't resist and took a puff."
"Not even a single sip! Either you go back to the hospital, or you can't smoke at all! What if you die here with me? Who knows what your Ye family will say about me then?"
