Li Ying looked at Ye Jingchi and asked, "How so?"
"The Chi family has been practicing medicine for generations, specializing in Western medicine. The family has made great contributions to China. A few years ago, some people tried to target the Chi family, but unfortunately, the Chi family had impeccable political credentials and couldn't be targeted. So, some people set their sights on Chi En, who is very obsessed with Western medicine, to the point of hating traditional Chinese medicine."
"What is the purpose of using me to compete against Chi En?" Li Ying pressed, lost in thought herself.
"Of course, it's about stirring up the feud between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. This kind of thing has happened before. When Western medicine first entered China, it was attacked by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Gradually, Western medicine overtook traditional Chinese medicine, thus creating a situation of confrontation between the two. It wasn't until after the liberation of China that people gradually accepted Western medicine, which naturally led to more constraints on traditional Chinese medicine. The Chi family represents Western medicine, and you came to the capital, had several successful cases, and stood out at Elder Chen's banquet, which attracted the attention of some people."
"You mean someone is using Yu Pingping's matter to stir up conflict between me and Chi En?"
Ye Jingchi nodded slightly.
Li Ying pondered: "But Yu Pingping really was poisoned, I'm not wrong about that, but Chi En just doesn't believe me."
"Of course he wouldn't believe it. Poisoning always has symptoms, but Yu Pingping didn't have any. You say she was poisoned, but you can't say what kind of poison it was. How can he believe you?"
Li Ying knew what kind of poison it was, but it wasn't available at the time. It was a poison developed in the 21st century, a type of poison whose production was prohibited.
Li Ying's current concern isn't the poisoning itself, but rather the discovery that there's another reborn individual like herself, who is also a master of poisons, making the situation very difficult.
"Looks like I'll be going to the research lab in the next few days."
If she can manufacture this poison, it would prove that Yu Pingping was poisoned.
"No, you can't overexert yourself!" Ye Jingchi decisively interrupted Li Ying's idea.
"Ye Jingchi, since someone deliberately stirred up trouble, I must find a solution to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation. You should know that if I am not being used, they will definitely find someone else."
Since that person wants her to fight Chi En, she has to find a way to resolve the conflict.
Chi En is so familiar with Western medicine that if she were to develop this poison, Chi En would definitely be able to recognize its properties and toxicity.
"The doctor said you had a miscarriage scare before. What if something happens if you keep walking around? Leave this to me, I'll handle it." Ye Jingchi couldn't let her go to the research lab with her big belly.
“When I go to the research lab, I don’t necessarily have to do it myself. I can let my second senior brother do it. I’ve discovered that my second senior brother has a talent for developing antidotes, so if he were to develop poisons, he would definitely be a top-notch expert.”
Ye Jingchi knew he couldn't reason with this woman, so he decided to go along with her.
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need. Your injuries have healed, but you still can't walk around," Li Ying instructed.
What could Ye Jingchi say? His insistence would only result in Li Ying kicking him out of the courtyard house.
Then I'll do as you say.
To be honest, this was the first time Ye Jingchi had ever been so obedient.
Zhou Qi escorted Li Ying to the research lab, where Li Ying shared her thoughts. Shi Bai was naturally very excited, as he had recently become obsessed with developing drugs, especially poisons, which were extremely challenging.
Lu Qingzhu happened to come over and frowned when she heard Li Ying asking Shi Bai to study poisons.
When he took Li Ying home, he specifically spoke with her.
"Junior Sister, Master taught us that doctors should have the heart of parents. We are learning to heal the sick and save lives, not to harm them. You must not go astray!"
Li Ying chuckled: "Junior Brother, did you overhear what I said to Second Senior Brother? Actually, I did this because..."
Li Ying then recounted her experience of competing against Chi En.
"The Chi family represents Western medicine. If Chi En loses to you, it will indeed be a major event that will shake the entire medical community. This person's motives are impure!"
"Yes, so I want my second senior brother to develop this poison and give it to Chi En. He studied Western medicine and understands the properties of this poison, so he will have a way to cure it."
Lu Qingzhu nodded slightly: "Junior Sister, don't you feel that someone is watching you and deliberately looking for an opportunity to target you?"
Li Ying certainly noticed it. From the day she arrived in the capital, she had sensed that Rong Ning's actions were only superficial, but in places unseen, someone was subtly trying to expose her.
"Junior Sister, if you're scared, you can go back to Shanghai, but it's okay if you don't go back. I'll use the Lu family's influence to protect you!"
Li Ying smiled lightly, pursing her lips: "Junior brother, do I look fragile?"
Lu Qingzhu gently ruffled Li Ying's bangs: "Sometimes it's good to be a little gentler."
"What did Qingwan tell you?"
Lu Qingzhu, hands in her pockets, said, "She mentioned Ye Jingchi. I specifically looked him up and found out that Ye Jingchi used to be a troublemaker, a real rascal in the army, very difficult to manage, but he was smart and never lost a battle. It's just that he suddenly became well-behaved three years ago, and now he's suddenly back to his old self. Isn't that strange?"
"There's nothing strange about it. Three years ago, he lost his memory and became obedient. Now that he has regained his memory, he has reverted to his arrogant personality."
"Yingying, won't you feel miserable living with someone like that?" Lu Qingzhu was still worried about her junior sister's feelings.
"He's alright. There's nothing wrong with him, except for that weird family. Fortunately, he's not a child of the Ye family."
"Oh, that's good. At least you don't have to pay attention to the Ye family."
As Li Ying stepped out of the gate, she saw Ye Jingchi leaning against the car. He was holding a cigarette, putting it in his mouth and taking it out, then putting it in his mouth again, repeatedly, until he saw Li Ying appear. Only then did he throw the cigarette, which he had been so carelessly handling, aside.
"nailed it?"
"It's all settled. I've already told my second senior brother."
Ye Jingchi nodded slightly and opened the car door: "Get in."
"Ye Jingchi, your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you running around like that?"
Ye Jingchi's lips curled up, and he bent down slightly, getting closer to Li Ying: "Concerned about me?"
Li Ying raised her hand and poked his chest, pushing him away: "I'm a doctor, it's normal for me to care about patients, don't flatter yourself!"
"Don't worry, I'll be there to watch you give birth," Ye Jingchi said softly.
"What did you say?"
Ye Jingchi gently shook his head: "Get in the car. I have injuries, but I can drive without any problems."
Just as Li Ying was about to lift her foot, Ye Jingchi reached out and grabbed her.
"Wait a moment!"
Ye Jingchi squatted down and looked at the car's fuel tank, discovering that it had been tampered with.
"The car has been tampered with; it looks like someone is getting restless."
