After swallowing the pill, Shen Zhiwei's panic subsided considerably.
The pressure on him decreased, and he felt much more relaxed.
Before this, Shen Zhiwei was filled with anxiety as the poison took effect.
Shen Zhiwei didn't want to endure that excruciating pain any longer.
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Zhiwei's eyes, and his gaze toward Ye Chen was filled with hatred.
Shen Zhiwei wished he could tear Ye Chen to pieces.
Of course, Shen Zhiwei is only thinking about it in his mind at the moment.
If it really came down to a head-on confrontation with Ye Chen, Shen Zhiwei would definitely be no match for him.
He had a vivid memory of the private rooms in the club.
"Ye Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now," Shen Zhiwei said coldly.
"Let me give you a heads-up before I leave," Ye Chen said softly.
"What?" Shen Zhiwei stopped and frowned.
"What I just gave you wasn't the real antidote," Ye Chen said calmly.
"What?!" Shen Zhiwei was immediately shocked.
Shen Zhiwei's face immediately turned ugly, and his anger surged rapidly.
"Ye Chen, what do you mean? Are you playing me?"
Enraged, Shen Zhiwei wished he could tear Ye Chen to pieces.
"I haven't finished speaking yet," Ye Chen said in a teasing tone.
"The medicine I just gave you was only to suppress the toxins in your body."
"You must take it once a month, or you will surely die from the poison."
Hearing Ye Chen say this, Shen Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief but was also furious.
Ye Chen actually tried to control him in this way.
"Ye Chen, isn't what you're doing a bit too despicable?" Shen Zhiwei said, barely containing his anger.
"Since ancient times, all warfare is based on deception."
"Even though you've agreed to be my dog now, who knows if you'll just pay lip service to it?"
"What if you disobey me and turn around and bite me?"
"I'm just doing this as an extra layer of insurance."
"If you do a good job, I will naturally not let you die from the poison."
Ye Chen chuckled and firmly grasped Shen Zhiwei's hand.
Shen Zhiwei's expression was uncertain; he hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so wary.
After Shen Zhiwei originally planned to leave, he immediately gathered people to formulate a revenge plan.
He wanted to take revenge on Ye Chen and Qiao Lina.
He must repay double for the pain and humiliation he suffered.
Unexpectedly, the pills Ye Chen gave him only temporarily suppressed the poison in his body.
This completely disrupted Shen Zhiwei's plans.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Zhiwei had no choice but to temporarily shelve his revenge plan.
"Ye Chen, you're ruthless." Shen Zhiwei sneered.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."
"Get lost," Ye Chen said with a cold laugh.
Shen Zhiwei was furious at Ye Chen's words, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't lose his temper.
Ten minutes later, Shen Zhiwei drove away in his car.
Sitting in the car, Shen Zhiwei's face was gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Damn it!" Shen Zhiwei cursed as he pounded the steering wheel with his fist.
"Ye Chen, you bastard, you're really insidious."
"I'll just have to bear with it for now. Once I take control, I'll make you suffer terribly."
"And that damn bitch too."
Shen Zhiwei can only swallow this anger now.
As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years; he will endure hardship and bide his time before making his move.
If Ye Chen knew what Shen Zhiwei was thinking, he would definitely disregard it.
Even without poison, killing Shen Zhiwei would be a piece of cake for him.
The reason Shen Zhiwei was spared was because he was still somewhat useful.
Sometimes Ye Chen can't do everything himself.
Time passed slowly in the hospital ward.
Lin Ruoxi and Qiao Lina chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere on set was quite harmonious.
Just then, Lin Ruoxi's phone rang.
Lin Ruoxi answered the phone, chatted for a while, and then hung up.
"Lina, I have some things to take care of at work, so..."
Lin Ruoxi looked at Qiao Lina with a hint of apology on her face.
After all, Lin Ruoxi just said that she would be taking care of Qiao Lina at the hospital all afternoon.
"It's alright, Ruoxi. Go ahead and do what you need to do."
"I'm much better now, and there are nurses with me," Jolina said with a smile.
"Okay," Lin Ruoxi nodded in response.
After Lin Ruoxi left the ward, Qiao Lina immediately called Ye Chen.
She had many questions in her mind that Ye Chen needed to answer.
Another thing is that she is now worried about Ye Chen's situation.
Although Shen Zhiwei bowed his head and apologized, she felt that he was vindictive.
Perhaps Ye Chen has found some weakness in Shen Zhiwei, which is why Shen Zhiwei has finally yielded.
Shen Zhiwei will definitely hold a grudge about this.
Qiao Lina was worried that Shen Zhiwei would retaliate once he gained the upper hand.
"Lina, what's wrong?" Ye Chen's voice rang out.
"Ye Chen, could you come to the hospital? I want to talk to you about something," Qiao Lina said.
"Can't we say it over the phone?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone; we need to meet in person," Qiao Lina said.
"Okay, I'll be right there," Ye Chen replied.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen entered the ward.
"Lina, what's wrong? What happened?" Ye Chen came to Qiao Lina.
"Ye Chen, Shen Zhiwei came to see me just now," Qiao Lina said, looking at Ye Chen.
"Oh, really? What's he doing here?"
Ye Chen feigned surprise.
Because he had previously promised Qiao Lina that he would not contact Shen Zhiwei, Ye Chen could only pretend not to know.
Qiao Lina looked at Ye Chen's surprised and unaware expression with a strange look on her face.
