Chapter 478 The Male Lead of the Era 18 Su Wanting answered according to her prepared words, emphasizing that all the cups were washed and poured water together.
"I remember Deputy Regiment Commander Su prepared a separate jar, saying it was for some leader's boiled water..."
However, another officer provided a crucial detail.
This detail became the breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the test results came back, confirming the drug's composition.
The division's security department immediately contacted the local public security bureau to investigate the channels through which such drugs might be circulating on the island.
The veteran was found quickly.
Under stern interrogation, he confessed that a woman with a pleasant voice had recently bought medicine from him.
Although Su Wanting disguised herself, he gave a general description of her height and build, and also mentioned a detail.
When the woman paid, she accidentally pulled out a badge from the performing arts troupe. Although she quickly put it back, he caught a glimpse of it.
All the clues pointed to Su Wanting.
When the investigation team found Su Wanting again and presented her with this evidence, her psychological defenses completely collapsed.
"It wasn't me! I didn't mean to!"
"That medicine was originally... no... I wanted to use it to breed the sow! I meant well!"
She offered a rambling, incoherent explanation.
"A sow? Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"Tell me, who exactly are you trying to drug?"
The head of the investigation team asked sternly.
Su Wanting was speechless and collapsed to the ground.
The truth has come out.
Su Wanting was immediately taken into custody on suspicion of intentional injury and illegally purchasing prohibited drugs.
The military spouses in the military compound were also very angry about this matter.
After deliberation, the Party Committee of the Division decided to immediately send Su Wanting off the island and hand her over to the relevant local authorities for further processing.
He'll probably get a few years in prison.
The news caused an uproar throughout the island.
No one expected that Su Wanting, who was usually gentle, polite, and highly capable, would do something so terrible.
The women in the performing arts troupe found it hard to believe, but the irrefutable evidence left no room for argument.
Zi Xi lay in the hospital for three days before she was fully awake.
The process of gastric lavage and detoxification was very painful, but fortunately it was discovered in time and no permanent damage was caused.
When she woke up, Pei Jiwang was by her bedside, his eyes bloodshot.
"you……"
What's wrong with me...?
Zi Xi's voice was hoarse.
"Don't talk or think too much, just drink some water."
Pei Jiwang helped her up and carefully fed her water.
Zixi learned the whole story from the nurse.
She was shocked, but even more so, she was terrified.
If Pei hadn't reacted quickly and decisively, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
What made her feel even more conflicted was that the glass of water was originally meant for Pei Jiwang.
[Old Pei's rotten love interest is poisonous! Luckily, he was kicked off the island, otherwise, his underhanded tricks would have been impossible to guard against!]
"You... knew there was something wrong with the water all along?"
Zi Xi asked softly.
"At the time, I just thought you needed to drink more water."
"It was my oversight, I almost caused you..."
Pei Jiwang shook his head and paused for a moment.
"It's not your fault, thank you for saving me."
Zi Xi interrupted him, looking intently into his eyes.
The ward fell silent, with only the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the window.
"Su Wanting has been dealt with and will be leaving the island soon."
After a while, Pei Jiwang spoke.
While everyone has the right to pursue love, this is a bit too extreme.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?
Zi Xi nodded without asking any further questions, only sighing inwardly.
She recalled the way Su Wanting looked at Pei Jiwang, but none of that mattered now.
"The doctor said you can be discharged after two more days of observation."
"Sister Li said she's tidied up your house for you."
Pei Jiwang said.
