"You're too naive to think calling the police would be of any use to me?" Gu Xiuyu said with a smile.
His lack of concealment towards Ye Ziyu now indicated that there was no other way to obtain the antidote from him.
Shen Lin glared at Gu Xiuyu with tear-filled eyes, his thick skin almost matching Gu Xiuyu's.
Gu Xiuyu walked leisurely to Ye Ziyu's side, glancing at Di Mingjue on the hospital bed, and clicked his tongue twice. "It seems the poison has reached your spleen and lungs. If you don't drink the antidote soon, he'll likely be dead in two days. As for our matters, I'm not in a hurry. Take your time to think, and come find me whenever you've decided."
He glanced at Di Mingjue again, a triumphant smile on his face. Disregarding Shen Lin's hateful gaze, he turned and left leisurely.
"Madam, what do we do now?" Shen Lin anxiously looked at Ye Ziyu.
Finally knowing the culprit behind the poisoning, only to realize that this was the beginning of their ordeal.
Ye Ziyu looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and then back at the unconscious Di Mingjue on the bed.
"Assistant Shen, you stay here to watch him. I need to go out," Ye Ziyu said, holding the medicine bottle and the examination report Gu Xiuyu had left on the coffee table.
"Madam, are you going to find him? Are you really going to divorce Mr. Di?" Shen Lin asked, full of worry.
The current situation was a deadlock. On one hand, they needed to get the antidote to save Di Mingjue. On the other hand, they needed to marry Gu Xiuyu to obtain it. Although these seemed like two separate matters, they were so closely intertwined that it was impossible to choose just one.
Ye Ziyu looked at Shen Lin, as if facing Di Mingjue, and assured him, "Don't worry, I will ensure Mingjue is safe, and I won't abandon him just because of someone else's threat."
"I believe in the love between Madam and Mr. Di. Please go ahead with your plans, and I will take good care of Mr. Di. Madam, you must be careful. Gu Xiuyu is not simple; he is ruthless. You must guard yourself against him," Shen Lin cautioned.
"I know. Contact me immediately if anything happens to Mingjue." Before leaving, Ye Ziyu administered acupuncture to Di Mingjue to ensure he was stable before departing.
The rumors online continued to spread. Gu Xiuyu had only reduced the netizens' abuse towards Ye Ziyu. Instead of decreasing, rumors about their relationship had increased, with whispers that Ye Ziyu had already divorced Di Mingjue and was about to marry him.
Upon being informed about the online situation, Ye Qianzhi immediately rushed back to the Ye family to understand the truth.
As soon as he entered, he heard the children surrounding Ye Chenhan, asking about their mother.
"Little Uncle, what's going on between Mommy and Daddy? Why is everyone online saying they're getting a divorce? Did they have a fight?"
"I don't like that bad uncle. It must be because of him that Daddy and Mommy are fighting."
"I want to go find them!"
As the children spoke simultaneously, Ye Chenhan and Yu Xixi, who stood before them, didn't know who to answer first.
Ye Qianzhi entered from outside and joined the children's interrogation. "Chenhan, where is Ziyu?"
Yu Xixi turned and quickly greeted him, "Uncle Ye, are you also here because of those online rumors?"
"Xixi, tell me what exactly is going on!" Ye Qianzhi sat on the sofa in front of Yu Xixi, his brow furrowed as he waited for her explanation.
He and Lu Yuman had missed each other due to a deliberate trap set by Old Mrs. Ye. Now, his daughter's relationship was also facing such difficulties. As someone who had learned from his own past, he absolutely could not let Ye Ziyu follow in his footsteps, no matter what.
Yu Xixi looked at the curious children in front of her and quickly said, "Uncle Ye, it's better to let Chenhan tell you. I'll take them out first."
