Early the next morning, Xie Qi sat on the hospital bed and turned on the hospital terminal, wanting to see the results that had fermented overnight.
However, what he didn't expect was that the transmission speed of the star network was more than twice as fast as that on Earth. Things that would take a month on Earth happened in just one night.
First, Xie Qi suddenly appeared at the wedding and was cursed and denounced by everyone. Then, the Ye family was humiliated and lost all face.
And then, not long after Xie Qi was taken away by the Xia family, the situation took another sharp turn.
The Ye family quickly launched a public relations operation, throwing out a shocking news, claiming that the ghost flower brought back by Xie Qi was a pure fake, and in fact the ghost flower no longer existed at all.
Moreover, according to common sense, it is impossible for Xie Qi to find the ghost flower that even the empire has been searching for for hundreds of years in vain in just three months.
Everything Xie Qi said was a lie. His real purpose was to deliberately destroy Ye Meng'en's happy marriage. He couldn't bear to see Ye Meng'en live a smooth and happy life, but he was unwilling to take any responsibility.
At the same time, the Academy of Sciences also issued a public statement on Star Network, stating that the ghost flower has long been extinct in the world, and anyone who claims to have discovered the ghost flower is a liar.
After all, even those within the Academy found it hard to believe that Xie Qi could be so much more outstanding than them. If what Xie Qi had found was truly genuine, then the Academy would undoubtedly become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
Faced with these two major announcements that came one after another, netizens were suddenly confused and didn't know which side to believe.
But before long, only a small number of people stood firmly on Xie Qi's side, while the vast majority of people chose to trust the Academy of Sciences without hesitation, believing that its authority was unquestionable.
After all, the Academy of Sciences was officially approved by the Empire, and they didn't believe that Xie Qi could find the ghost flower in just three months.
So they turned their attention to Xie Qi again, but less than an hour later, the Xia family suddenly issued an announcement.
It is claimed that General Xia Ze is no longer in danger of death, but because he has been poisoned for too long, he will need to be in a coma for up to a month to completely eliminate the toxin. He is still in a coma.
Attached to the announcement was Xia Ze's medical record, which clearly recorded that the antidote was dissolving the insect poison bit by bit.
Not only that, the Xia family also released Xie Qi's injury report. When a group of netizens saw this medical record, they were all dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Xie Qi could come back alive with such a broken body.
Because of the key information disclosed by the Xia family, netizens no longer doubted that the ghost flower Xie Qi brought back was fake. After all, the scene of the insect poison gradually dissipating was actually presented before everyone's eyes.
You know, such a scene has not been seen for hundreds of years, and after this incident, the Ye family has no chance of turning things around.
Even the Academy of Sciences, which has always been highly respected, has been ridiculed by many netizens. If you are not good at it, just practice more.
After Xie Qi read the whole story, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable surprise. He didn't expect so many things to happen in one night.
However, at this moment, what worried him the most was Xia Ze. Originally, he had hoped that the antidote would take effect immediately, but the cruel reality told him that he had underestimated the power of the queen insect's venom.
Xie Qi looked at Xia Ze's photo on the terminal screen and quickly came up with a plan in his mind. Not only did he want to live in the Xia family, he also wanted to live in Xia Ze's bedroom, and Xiahou Yuan was willing to let him live there.
At that moment, a faint sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the ward. Xie Qi suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp as he looked towards the door. Without hesitation, he quickly stood up and swiftly began to tidy up the messy bed.
While Xie Qi was busy, Xiahou Yuan pushed open the door. He saw Xie Qi, dressed in hospital gown and with a pale face, busy running around instead of resting peacefully.
He frowned and scolded with concern: "Ye Qi, why are you up? Your injury is not healed yet."
Hearing Xia Houyuan's words, Xie Qi paused for a moment, then slowly put down the clothes in his hands. He turned his head, looked at Xia Houyuan and said softly, "Uncle Xia, you can just call me Xie Qi from now on. I'm no longer a member of the Ye family."
Xia Houyuan's face flashed with surprise when he heard this. Although he didn't know why Ye Qi changed his surname to Xie, out of respect for Xie Qi, he nodded, indicating that he understood and accepted this change.
So he pressed Xie Qi's shoulders and asked him to sit on the bed. Then, Xiahou Yuan moved and sat down directly opposite Xie Qi.
He looked at the slightly haggard boy in front of him with concern and said slowly, "The doctor said that you need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation and cannot be discharged yet."
However, Xie Qi's face showed a trace of helplessness and embarrassment, "But... the hospital bill is too high. I was kicked out of the Ye family and I don't have any money. I can't afford it..."
Xia Houyuan frowned slightly, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, and he quickly comforted her, "You silly child, why are you saying such polite things? Can I still let you pay for your medical expenses? Would I still be a human being then? And from now on, you will be a member of my Xia family and live in our house."
However, Xie Qi shook his head and responded firmly: "Uncle Xia, this won't work. I can't take advantage of you for nothing."
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He retorted sincerely, "That's not taking advantage at all. The real winners are the Xia family. Do you know how important the antidote you provided is to us? It's a priceless treasure, something we might not even be able to obtain even if we spent all our wealth."
