“How could someone from your Bai Family be poisoned?
Was it done by someone again?” Zheng Yan asked curiously.
Bai Zhi shook her head as she drove and said, “Not this time.
She did this to herself.”
“She did this to herself?”
Zheng Yan was slightly taken aback.
‘So it was a suicide attempt.’
That, Zheng Yan couldn’t understand.
Born into a top-tier family in the city like the Bai Family, and she still tried to commit suicide?
What could she have been so desperate about?
“Yes.
This morning, my aunt woke up and found Zhou Qinqin collapsed on the floor.
After she was taken to the hospital, they discovered she had been poisoned.”
“After emergency treatment at the hospital, they confirmed it was poisoning.
She’s been stabilized, but she just won’t wake up.”
“So why did she try to commit suicide?
Do you guys know?”
“I think it might have something to do with her parents.”
Bai Zhi spoke slowly.
Zheng Yan then learned that both Bai Zhi’s aunt and uncle were exceptionally accomplished, but Zhou Qinqin, perhaps, fell a little short.
So Bai Zhi’s aunt and uncle were quite strict with her.
And since Zhou Qinqin was going through a rebellious phase, she might have acted rashly and tried to kill herself.
Of course, this was all just Bai Zhi’s speculation.
No one would know for sure until Zhou Qinqin woke up.
Soon, Bai Zhi parked the car at the entrance of the city’s best hospital, Sunxin Hospital.
This hospital was founded by Elder Sun, the richest man in Nanjiang City.
Currently, it was the most advanced medical facility in the city.
It was only natural for Zhou Qinqin to be sent here after her sudden incident.
After getting out of the car, Bai Zhi rushed toward the hospital room, with Zheng Yan following closely behind.
When they reached the room, Bai Zhi didn’t see her aunt and uncle.
There were only a few caregivers in the room looking after Zhou Qinqin.
“Where are my aunt and uncle?”
“The doctor called them out.
It seems there was something to discuss.”
Bai Zhi nodded and led Zheng Yan to Zhou Qinqin’s side.
Zhou Qinqin’s face was currently a little cyanotic.
After undergoing dialysis, stomach pumping, and other cleansing procedures, her life had been saved.
Zheng Yan walked over and activated his special sight to take a look.
There was a wisp of black smoke on the side of Zhou Qinqin’s thigh.
The location of the smoke should be where the injury was.
Judging by the teeth marks, it looked like a bite from some kind of animal—a snake or some other venomous creature.
But if that was the case, it was a little different from what Bai Zhi had said before.
Bai Zhi had said that Zhou Qinqin did this to herself, and her parents firmly believed it.
But from the looks of it now, there was no way Zhou Qinqin had done this herself. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
‘Who, not wanting to live, would find a venomous creature to bite them??’
‘There are simpler, painless methods.
Why make it so complicated?’
“Zheng Yan, how is it?
What’s wrong with her?” Bai Zhi asked anxiously when she saw Zheng Yan spacing out.
“I’ve found the source of the problem.
I’ll need to use a special technique to expel the remaining poison, and then she’ll be fine after taking some medicinal pills.”
Hearing what Zheng Yan said, Bai Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the entire Bai Family, Zhou Qinqin and Bai Zhi were the closest.
Although they were from two different households, they were like biological sisters.
But Bai Zhi and Zhou Qinqin’s parents didn’t get along very well.
The reason was simple.
After Bai Pengfei started thinking about retirement, the children of the Bai Family all began preparing to compete for the position of president.
Zhou Qinqin’s parents were no exception.
Bai Zhupeng had also said that the succession wouldn’t be based on gender, only on ability.
Only the most capable person could take the Bai Family to the next level.
Hearing that Zheng Yan could cure her, Bai Zhi was finally relieved.
“That’s great.
Let’s start then.”
“Okay.”
Just as Zheng Yan was about to lift the blanket, the door to the room opened.
Two people entered.
One was a man in an expensive suit with a blank expression, and the other was a bejeweled middle-aged woman with tear stains glistening on her face.
“Bai Zhi?
Why are you here again?
It’s not right to keep having you come over.” Although her words were polite, her tone seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
“Aunt, Uncle, Zhou Qinqin is like a sister to me.
How could I not come when my sister is sick?” She then turned to Zheng Yan and said, “These are my aunt, Bai Xinlan, and my uncle, Zhou Bin.”
Zhou Bin and Bai Xinlan were slightly taken aback when they saw Zheng Yan.
“Bai Zhi, and this is?”
“This is Zheng Yan.
He’s a doctor I found to treat Zhou Qinqin.”
Zhou Bin sneered.
“Hmph.
Bai Zhi, if you’re here to see your sister, you’re more than welcome.
But if you want to harm your sister, you’re not even human.”
“Uncle, how could I ever harm Qinqin?
This is Zheng Yan, and he can really treat Zhou Qinqin.
Just let him try.”
Bai Xinlan stepped forward and said, “Bai Zhi, don’t mind our tone.
This means someone deliberately tried to harm her.”
“That’s right.
So until we’ve finished our investigation, no one is to touch her.”
With that, Zhou Bin and Bai Xinlan began to usher them out.
Unwilling to give up, Bai Zhi continued, “This is Zheng Yan, the Divine Doctor who saved me not long ago.
If he makes a move, he can definitely save Zhou Qinqin.”
Zhou Bin shook his head.
“I’ve heard about your illness.
Even if he’s the one who cured you, Zhou Qinqin’s condition wasn’t caused by a Gu Insect.
What does one have to do with the other?”
“Our family has enough chaos right now.
Don’t add to it.”
Bai Zhi wanted to say more, but Zheng Yan stopped her.
“Bai Zhi, let’s go.”
Seeing Zheng Yan say this, Bai Zhi could only walk out of the room helplessly.
The door to the room slammed shut behind them with a BANG.
From inside, Zhou Bin’s angry shouting could be heard: “What the hell do I pay you for?
I told you before I left not to let anyone in!
What’s wrong with you?”
Listening to the sounds from the room, Bai Zhi sighed and said, “Zheng Yan, what do we do now?
When the foreign experts arrive tomorrow, can they really cure Zhou Qinqin?”
Zheng Yan shook his head and said, “Tomorrow will be too late.
By tomorrow, Zhou Qinqin will be gone.”
“Ah!
How can that be?” Bai Zhi jumped in fright.
“Although the hospital has already used some conventional methods to remove the poison, a lot of toxins still remain.
These toxins are spreading throughout her body.
By tomorrow, it will be too late.”
Hearing what Zheng Yan said, Bai Zhi began to pace around anxiously.
After witnessing Zheng Yan’s abilities, Bai Zhi now had complete faith in his medical skills.
Since Zheng Yan said she wouldn’t last until tomorrow, then she definitely wouldn’t.
“Then what do we do?
Should we go back in and explain things clearly to Zhou Bin and the others?”
Zheng Yan shook his head.
“You’re usually so smart.
Why are you even saying that now?
No matter what we say, Zhou Bin and his wife won’t believe us.”
Bai Zhi sighed.
“I’m out of ideas.
What if we find my grandfather and have him intervene?”
Zheng Yan shook his head again.
“At the end of the day, Zhou Qinqin is still part of the Zhou Family.
Your grandfather could intervene, but I think it would only make things more tense.”
“This won’t work, that won’t work…
Am I supposed to just watch Zhou Qinqin die?”
“Now that I know about this, I definitely won’t let her die.”
Zheng Yan thought for a moment and said, “You keep watch here.
After Zhou Qinqin’s parents leave, we’ll sneak back in.
Give me half an hour, and I can cure her.
No one will even know we were there.”
