Shen Zhi Qiu tried to walk forward shakily, but Lu Jia had already pressed her down at the doorway and said softly, "Zhi Qiu, don't move here, I'll go in and take a look."
Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips, her shoulders trembling. Seeing Zhou Xiao Ran standing motionless, she gripped the door frame tightly to steady herself.
Lu Jia quickly walked in and squatted down next to Zhou Xiaoran. He first checked her nose with his finger and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was still breathing.
Suddenly, he noticed a reddish needle mark on Zhou Xiaoran's slightly tilted neck, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
“Miss Zhou?” Lu Jia tentatively shook Zhou Xiaoran’s shoulder, but she still didn’t respond. Seeing that something was wrong, he picked up Zhou Xiaoran and gently placed her on the sofa, then quickly dialed the number of medical staff and asked them to come up immediately.
"Xiao Ran." Shen Zhi Qiu, who was at the door, knew something was wrong when she saw Lu Jia's reaction. She walked in with unsteady steps, her usually straight back was weak, and her face was full of fear.
Just then, Shen Zhi Qiu's phone rang again.
It's still the same number.
Shen Zhi Qiu quickly swiped her finger to answer the phone, and as soon as it connected, she angrily shouted, "What exactly did you do to them?!"
"Miss Shen, don't be angry. I just wanted to be fully prepared." Ji Feng laughed loudly, his laughter grating on Shen Zhi Qiu's ears.
"Where is my mother?" Shen Zhi Qiu's face darkened, and her voice turned icy.
"Miss Shen, it seems you haven't done the paternity test yet. Fine, it's fine if you like to deceive yourself. I've taken Lin Yunjin away, don't worry, I won't hurt her for the time being," Ji Feng said sarcastically. "But, it's hard to say about Miss Zhou."
"What did you do to Xiao Ran?!" Shen Zhi Qiu's fingers began to tremble as she roared at Ji Feng.
"I'm just worried that Miss Shen won't be obedient enough. Lin Yunjin is already mentally unstable, so the effects of the drug won't be very noticeable. But Miss Zhou is different. She's young, and, tsk tsk, she's your best friend. I poisoned her. She's not in immediate danger, but it's unlikely she'll wake up unless you behave and I give you the antidote."
"You bastard!" Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but curse.
“Miss Shen, you can curse all you want, I don’t care. You can also send Miss Zhou to the hospital, but it will be difficult for the doctor to find out what kind of poison she has been poisoned with! After all, this is a poison that has been passed down in our family for generations, and there are hundreds of types of poison alone.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi Qiu's legs suddenly went weak, and she almost slid down. Lu Jia was startled, grabbed her arm, and then firmly supported her shoulders.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's pale face, Lu Jia took the phone and coldly asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Is this Mr. Lu? I just need Miss Shen to do me a favor," Ji Feng said with a smile. "You can settle Miss Zhou in first, and I'll call you again about the antidote."
"What are you doing!" A furious shout suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Gu Qingyan was walking to the door in the corridor. He originally wanted to talk to Shen Zhi Qiu, but when he saw Lu Jia's hand on Shen Zhi Qiu's shoulder, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer.
Shen Zhi Qiu didn't want to argue with him, so she stepped back slightly, then quickly walked to Zhou Xiao Ran's side, grabbed her hand, and was extremely worried.
Gu Qingyan's gaze had been following Shen Zhi Qiu, so he immediately noticed Zhou Xiao Ran's unusual behavior. He immediately stepped forward and asked what had happened.
When Gu Qingyan learned that Ji Feng had poisoned Lin Yunjin and taken her away, she pursed her lips, knowing that she could no longer hide the truth from Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Zhiqiu, there's something I have to tell you." Gu Qingyan quickly took out his phone and handed Rong Hong's photo to Shen Zhiqiu.
"What is it?" Shen Zhi Qiu looked up and glanced at Gu Qing Yan with some impatience. She would get annoyed by him for no reason, even if he did nothing wrong.
But when her gaze fell on the phone screen in front of her, Shen Zhi Qiu was startled. After a long while, she finally asked, "Who is he?"
“His name is Rong Hong,” Gu Qingyan replied.
"Rong Hong?" Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback. "He's from the Rong family?"
"Yes, he is the chairman of the Rong Group." Gu Qingyan began to explain the information he had recently found to Shen Zhi Qiu in a low voice.
Shen Zhi Qiu remained silent for a long time before finally raising her head firmly, "Lin Yun Jin is probably not my biological mother either."
"What?" Gu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise. "So, you're not Lin Yunjin and Rong..."
Gu Qingyan abruptly shut his mouth, looking at Shen Zhi Qiu with disbelief. So it wasn't Lin Yunjin who cheated…
"Miss Shen, what happened?" He Yu then rushed over with the medical staff.
Gu Qingyan was furious just hearing his voice. He said coldly, "Didn't I tell you to protect Miss Chen at close range? I'm already up here, why are you only just arriving?!"
"I'm sorry!" He Yu lowered his head, blaming himself.
Gu Qingyan was very dissatisfied. Just as she turned around to scold him, she saw that He Yu was soaked in sweat, his face was flushed, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his face.
"What's going on?!"
“Mr. Gu,” the bodyguard bowed, “someone broke the elevator just now, so we had to run up here.” Afraid that Gu Qingyan would be angry, he quickly added, “The elevator repairmen are already working on it and said they can fix it within an hour, so please don’t worry.”
