Su Ziqing: "..." Should she thank the doctor for the reminder?
The outpatient department and the inpatient department are not in the same building. On the way to the inpatient department, Gong Chengjue kept his brows furrowed.
Su Ziqing gently tugged at his sleeve, "Why are you still looking so glum? I already agreed to go for the checkup, didn't I? Blood tests hurt a lot..."
Gong Chengjue, however, did not seem relaxed at all. Instead, he looked at her and asked, "Have you... met anyone recently?"
Su Ziqing found this strange, "Are you referring to... a strange person?"
"Um."
"No," Su Ziqing said firmly. "After the kidnapping incident, I listened to you. Ordinary people can't get close to me, and it's even more impossible for any random people to get near me."
Gong Chengjue hummed in response, but said nothing more. His expression, however, remained tense.
"What's wrong?" Su Ziqing felt that he was hiding something from her.
"It's nothing, let's get checked out first."
"The expression on your face doesn't look like nothing's wrong," Su Ziqing said, looking at him. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?"
"No." He didn't want to scare her before the results came out, and he didn't want to scare himself either.
But when I think about that possibility...
Gong Chengjue's expression suddenly turned cold.
Su Ziqing stood still. "Then let's not go for a checkup. It'll hurt, and there's no need to waste time..."
He grabbed her hand. "Since we're already here..."
"No, it hurts, I'm not doing it." He clearly wasn't as relaxed as he appeared. If he didn't say anything, she wouldn't go.
"Ziqing, stop fooling around."
"I wasn't making a fuss, I'm the one in pain. I had my blood drawn just a few days ago..."
"..." He looked at her without saying a word, but his expression was somewhat frightening.
"Then tell me the truth, why did you ask the doctor those questions just now?" What was he suspecting?
"I just suspect that you... might be poisoned." But wouldn't she be frightened if he said that?
Sure enough, even the usually composed Su Ziqing found it hard to accept the word "poisoned." "Huh? Poisoned?"
"It's just a suspicion, let's do some tests first." Gong Chengjue looked at Su Ziqing, raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "Good girl."
She really wanted to slap his hand away from her head, but she nodded anyway, "Mmm."
By the time all the tests were completed, more than an hour had passed, and that was the time all the tests were done at once.
And the result...
"Poisoning?" Upon hearing these two definitive words, Su Ziqing thought she had misheard. "Doctor, are you sure?"
"Yes, the test results show that you have indeed been poisoned. It looks like it's been a few days, but the dosage was very low and not fatal, it's just..."
The doctor glanced hesitantly at Su Ziqing and Gong Chengjue. How could this seemingly perfect couple have encountered something like poisoning?
More importantly, this poison is extremely harmful to women.
"Just what?" Su Ziqing asked, her heart pounding in her throat from the doctor's question.
"Doctor, just say what you have to say." Gong Chengjue's heart was already sinking.
"It will affect fertility... However, the dosage is very light, and since it was discovered early, it will take time to eliminate toxins from the body. It is best not to get pregnant within five years."
The doctor's words made my heart leap into my throat, but I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard what he said next.
“Five years…” Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue, then back at the doctor, “What if it’s discovered too late?”
The doctor told the truth, "She is infertile."
Su Ziqing's face turned pale instantly.
Although many girls nowadays say they don't want to get married or have children, this doesn't mean that a person can accept losing their fertility for no reason.
Su Ziqing didn't even know how she got out of the hospital. She was wondering how she had been poisoned.
Was she poisoned while eating out?
But recently she hasn't been going out to eat much, so she's been staying at the company?
What did you drink? Coffee? Milk?
But everything she drank was handled by her secretary; no one else was entitled to it.
She was quite certain that the secretary had no problems.
"Ziqing, let's go to the capital." Although we need to investigate the poisoning incident, it's more important to determine her physical condition right now.
The medical resources in City A are definitely not comparable to those in the capital. The doctors here said there was nothing wrong, but Gong Chengjue still felt he needed to go back to the capital for another check-up.
And it has to be immediately; he won't agree to wait until tomorrow.
Su Ziqing nodded somewhat blankly, her mind already elsewhere.
Who poisoned her? And this poison wasn't lethal; it was designed to harm a woman's fertility.
"The doctor said it's nothing serious, don't worry too much, everything will be alright," Gong Chengjue reassured her.
Su Ziqing snapped out of her daze and looked at him. "Who do you think it was? And how did they poison me?"
She had only been kidnapped recently, and she knew very well how careful she was.
She seemed unaffected by the kidnapping, but she knew that since then, she had been extremely cautious about everyone and everything around her.
Gong Chengjue was also thinking about this. The bodyguard he left for her had actually poisoned her without her even realizing it. He was really useless.
However, this also shows that the poisoning was done very secretly, leaving no one with any sense of vigilance.
When the bodyguard heard the news that Su Ziqing had been poisoned, he felt he had suffered the greatest humiliation of his career. He had actually let Miss Su get poisoned without his knowledge while he was protecting her.
Gong Chengjue didn't say anything to the bodyguards. They were heading to the airport to fly to the capital.
But Gong Chengjue remained silent, which only made the bodyguard more uneasy. On the way to the airport, the bodyguard tried hard to recall the people and events Su Ziqing had encountered in the past few days, including those at the company!
Finally, upon arriving at the airport, the bodyguard thought of something.
"Mr. Gong, Ms. Su, I suddenly remembered something." The bodyguard rushed forward as soon as he got out of the car, eager to prove his worth.
Gong Chengjue gave him a cold look. "Speak."
The bodyguard looked at Su Ziqing and said, "I know all the people Miss Su has met these past few days. If someone in the company is responsible, it would be the secretary, but that's unlikely. What I'm thinking about is that Miss Su was injured that day."
Upon hearing this, Su Ziqing recalled Luo Ziqi's teasing remarks to her.
"Su Xiaoman?"
“Miss Su, poison can be administered through food or from sharp objects. That day, Su Xiaoman was carrying a small, useless eyebrow razor-like blade…”
The bodyguard analyzed, as if reconstructing the scene of that day, "And there was no one with her. Did she come alone? That's impossible. She deliberately created an illusion, the illusion that she came alone."
Su Ziqing's face tightened, "And the scratches took quite a long time to heal..."
