Xu Tingchuan got up, went to the study to get his laptop, and turned on a video call to show Ni Sitian.
Ni Sitian had initially clung to a sliver of hope, thinking perhaps it wasn't poisoning, but after watching the video, her hopes were dashed. She lowered her eyes, her lips moving slightly: "Will I... die?"
"Who said that!" Xu Tingchuan said in a deep voice, "I will absolutely not let anything happen to you."
Ni Sitian reached out and grasped Xu Tingchuan's hand, resting her forehead against his chest. She didn't want to be so pessimistic.
But she felt that Su Yan's words made sense. Even poison research had repeatedly failed; how could there possibly be an antidote now? This kind of poison couldn't even be tested; nobody knew its composition. If they tried to research it now, it might be too late before she was poisoned.
"No matter what, we need to find Li Rui first." Xu Tingchuan stroked her long hair and said, "I also suspect that Su Yan and the cruise ship that night, as well as Jiang Yun's matter, are all related."
Su Yan's behavior in front of him today had already made him suspicious, and this video further confirmed that she wanted to get close to him. So, all the things that happened before...
Xu Tingchuan's phone suddenly rang. He answered it immediately upon seeing the number. Upon hearing the report on the other end, his brows furrowed, and a violent glint slowly gathered in his eyes.
Ni Sitian looked at him, squeezed his hand, and after he hung up the phone, whispered softly, "What happened?"
"Su Yan and Jiang Yun were high school classmates." All his guesses were correct; the person who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes was Su Yan.
"Is she crazy? I don't even know her!" Ni Sitian felt a chill run down her spine; someone had actually plotted against her so many times.
She had joked before that Su Yan's transformation into Su Yan might be due to Xu Tingchuan, and unexpectedly, it actually came true. This woman is a complete pervert, a madwoman.
"She's probably really gone mad. I suspect that Su Chengwen's stroke wasn't as simple as it seems."
Since this afternoon, Su Yan has shown no respect for her father when she mentioned him, disregarding his wishes and even using Su Yan as a shield.
"It's terrifying. She'd even cooperate with someone like Li Rui to achieve her goal." Ni Sitian felt a chill run down her spine at the thought that this woman had been secretly eyeing Xu Tingchuan all along.
Seeing that Ni Sitian's face had turned pale, Xu Tingchuan reached out and touched her head, saying softly, "We already know it's her, so we can be more careful in the future. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to find the antidote."
“But… the so-called antidote might just be a lie told to her by Li Rui.” Ni Sitian felt that she couldn’t believe most of what Li Rui said.
"No, it won't happen, it definitely will." Xu Tingchuan gripped Ni Sitian's hand tightly; he would never let anything happen to her.
Seeing his determined look, Ni Sitian nodded, believing that he would do everything he could to save her.
Xu Tingchuan lowered his eyes, lost in thought. Li Rui wanted to exchange 200 million for the antidote with Su Yan. If Su Yan got the antidote, she would definitely destroy it. But Su Yan probably doesn't have that much money now, as her assets all belong to the Su Group.
If he were willing to exchange money with Li Rui, I wonder if it would work, given how much Li Rui hates him.
However, Li Rui is now in a desperate situation, otherwise he wouldn't be putting up with Su Yan's temper.
