Chapter 258 Qingqing's Water Cup
Lin Feiyan looked at Ye Qingning's clean and simple face, which was calm and peaceful. She must have been too tired to fall asleep.
He held her hand tightly; her hand was warm and soft, even her fingertips were hot, so how could anything be wrong with her?
It doesn't matter if he gets poisoned; he's been poisoned before.
Even the most troublesome poison was broken by Chen Ci, wasn't it?
Lin Feiyan narrowed his eyes. He would not spare a single person who had harmed Ye Qingning!
Not a single one!
I don't know how much time passed, maybe only half an hour, or maybe ten minutes, when the door to the ward was pushed open and Chen Ci walked in, holding a lab report, his expression calm and indifferent.
"Boss, the blood test results are in."
Lin Feiyan took it in his hand, and with just one glance, a chilling desolation began to permeate his entire being.
“It’s similar to the poison you were poisoned with before, but the effects are completely opposite.” Chen Ci paused. “The poison you were poisoned with before would make people irritable and easily angered, while Miss Ye’s poison will make her fall into a state of lethargy and slumber.”
"So she still hasn't woken up."
“Yes,” Chen Ci said. “I will immediately begin researching the antidote.”
"How long will it take?" Lin Fei asked, his tone seemingly calm but tinged with a deep, cold loneliness.
“If I had the medication, I could calculate the dosage more precisely…” He paused, “So do you know who did it?”
Lin Feiyan's fingers twirled lightly. Who could have done this?
“This medicine should be water-soluble and ingested through food or drinks. Judging from the toxins accumulated in Miss Ye’s body, she must have taken it some time ago,” Chen Ci reminded her.
People who have access to Ye Qingning's food or water.
"Jian Yan?" Lin Fei asked coldly, "Could it be her?"
“Impossible!” Chen Ci shook his head: “First of all, it’s impossible from the perspective of motive, and secondly, theoretically, this kind of toxin should accumulate from three meals a day.”
Lin Feiyan's eyes narrowed: "You mean... the people from Tianfu Villa?"
Chen Ci nodded: "That's possible."
Lin Feiyan's heart skipped a beat. If that were the case, then he would be guilty of heinous crimes!
He wanted to keep her confined in the house to protect her, but the people around them ended up doing such a cruel thing!
Looking back over this period of time, Ye Qingning's mental state was indeed somewhat off.
From what specific time does it begin?
Lin Feiyan thought for a moment. This situation hadn't occurred at the Lin residence, so it was only after they arrived at the Tianfu Villa that he realized... he had tried to confine her to the house, and she had started to stay inside.
It seems that Ye Qingning's condition started to deteriorate from that time onwards.
Lin Feiyan clenched his fist, blaming himself for not noticing in time.
"Search." Lin Feiyan's voice trembled slightly. "Find Chen Tang, search the house!"
"yes."
Just as Chen Ci was about to leave, Lin Feiyan suddenly thought of something. He called out to Chen Ci, a cold and murderous glint in his eyes.
"Go to my office, Qingqing's water cup is in my office..."
...
That afternoon, Chen Ci found toxins in Ye Qingning's water glass, and Chen Tang also led people to search the house carefully. In the end, they only found residual toxins that had not been rinsed out in Ye Qingning's water glass and the glass of milk she drank before bed.
Therefore, from beginning to end, this matter was only directed at Ye Qingning.
Lin Feiyan already knew who was behind the operation. Upon closer reflection, he realized that she had indeed revealed many clues recently, but he was so engrossed in his budding romance with Ye Qingning that he completely overlooked these minor details.
He immediately ordered Chen Tang to arrest the person, but it was too late; the person had already disappeared.
However, finding people has always been Chen Tang's specialty. He successfully tracked down the person's final location in two hours, but a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Boss, she... jumped into the river!"
"What?"
Chen Tang turned the computer screen to him. The woman on the screen lingered on the bridge for a long time before finally leaping across the bridge and jumping into the rushing river.
"Call the police!" Lin Feiyan ordered, raising his hand to rub his temples.
He had been living in darkness ever since that incident 10 years ago, and having been in the business world for so many years, he had seen all sorts of underhanded tricks. That's why he wanted to protect Ye Qingning by his side. But he never expected that it would be the people around them who would do such a dirty trick to Ye Qingning.
However, she is definitely not the mastermind behind it all. She couldn't have gotten those drugs on her own, and Ye Qingning treated her very well, so she had no motive to do such a thing!
...
The next morning, the police came to the hospital and informed them of Xiao Cui's drowning death. After speaking with Chen Ci, they said they would open a case to investigate the matter.
Lin Feiyan didn't show up at all. Chen Tang and the others would handle this. Right now, he just wanted Ye Qingning to wake up as soon as possible.
Apart from exchanging a few words with the police, Chen Ci has been holed up in the lab preparing medicine, and hasn't rested for almost 24 hours.
When Jianyan arrived, she received a call from Chen Chu, asking her to buy a bowl of lean meat porridge and soup dumplings from a restaurant near the hospital.
Jianyan originally thought it was for him to eat, but when she arrived at the ward, she found that he was already eating breakfast.
"I bought this for Aci, could you deliver it to him for me?" Chen Chu instructed, "It would be best if you could watch him eat it, he might forget to eat when he's busy."
Jian Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay."
She wanted to say that Chen Ci must have a nurse taking care of him, but seeing Chen Chu's worried expression, she left with the lunchbox anyway.
Her steps were a little slow, and she was somewhat hesitant.
Facing this person again after so many days, she felt a little hesitant, especially since Ye Qingning was injured and remained unconscious because of her.
He must be just as anxious as Lin Feiyan.
Despite the short distance, she eventually made her way to Chen Ci's laboratory.
Before she could knock, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a nurse with red eyes walked out, followed by Chen Ci's somewhat cold and irritable voice: "I told you I'm not eating, don't bother me!"
Jianyan paused in his steps.
The nurse saw the lunchbox in her hand, shook her head slightly, and closed the door again.
"How long has it been since he ate anything?" Ye Qiao asked.
"I haven't eaten anything since I got back, I just drank a packet of milk." The nurse sighed softly and left.
Jian Yan stood at the door for a while before finally raising her hand to knock. Before Chen Ci could refuse, she said loudly, "Chen Ci, it's me. Open the door."
After a while, the lab door opened, and Chen Ci, dressed in work clothes, came out, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Chen Chu asked me to bring you breakfast." Jian Yan shook the lunchbox in her hand. "Let's find a place to eat. I just wanted to ask you something."
Chen Ci paused for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
He also happened to have something to ask Jianyan.
