“There’s nothing we can do. The doctor just said your Uncle Jin has two poisons in his body, and the hospital can’t do anything more. They specifically recommended only Yin Xi can save him.
It was our last resort.” Zheng Rong said, her voice starting to choke up again.
Two poisons, how could that be possible? Meng Qi couldn't help but glance at Bai Lin, who shook her head at her.
Then who administered the other poison?
However, this was a good thing.
“Could it be that both poisons were administered by Yin Xi?” Meng Qi immediately shifted suspicion to Yin Xi.
“She denies it. She also demanded that if we save your Uncle Jin, we should have her status as a suspect revoked by the police,” Zheng Rong replied.
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi became anxious. “Revoked? How can that be? Auntie Zheng, you mustn’t fall for her trick.
She is the prime suspect. If no one else is found, then she is the murderer.
Once her suspect status is revoked, it will be difficult to find her again.”
“Zhan Hao, what should we do now?” Zheng Rong, being a simple housewife, was flustered by Meng Qi’s analysis.
Jin Zhan Hao said coldly, “Mom, don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Half an hour later, Yin Xi took off her isolation suit and walked out. Jin Jing Chen, standing at the doorway, hurried forward to ask,
“Yin Xi, how is my dad? Did he wake up?”
“Yes. But he will need to stay in the intensive care unit for a while longer.” After speaking, Yin Xi glanced at Meng Qi and Bai Lin, then said to Jin Zhan Hao,
“Young Master Jin, you should fulfill your promise.”
“What promise? I don’t remember making any promises to you.” Jin Zhan Hao feigned ignorance, looking at his mother and sister. “Did you hear anything?”
They first trembled, then also pretended to be oblivious. “We didn’t hear anything.”
“Jin Zhan Hao, you scoundrel!” Jin Jing Chen immediately grabbed Jin Zhan Hao by the collar, clenching his fist as if to strike him.
“Jin Jing Chen, stop.” Yin Xi immediately stopped him, then looked at the scoundrel with a cold smile. “I had already guessed this would be the outcome.
Therefore, Old Master Jin has only temporarily woken up. The next coma could occur at any time.
When that happens, if you come looking for me, I won’t be so accommodating.”
After speaking, she turned and walked forward with steady steps.
“Wait.” Zheng Rong suddenly called out to stop her. “Yin Xi, you truly are a terrifying woman. Did you administer both poisons in the Old Master’s body?”
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi slowly turned around, her expression unchanged. “Mrs. Jin, you overestimate me, being able to administer two poisons at once.
Indeed, Old Master Jin has another poison in his body, but it is a slow-acting one and has been in his system for a very short time.
This matter is very peculiar. I advise you to conduct an internal investigation yourselves.
If you cannot find out quickly, you can also report it to the police and request their assistance.”
She then swept her gaze towards Meng Qi and Bai Lin. “What happened yesterday was clearly a setup.
If I find out who is responsible, I will not forgive her.”
With that, she disappeared down the corridor without looking back.
“Zhan Hao, are we just going to let her leave like this?” Zheng Rong was unwilling.
Jin Zhan Hao frowned. “I’ll think of another way.”
At that moment, his phone rang; it was from the Chengnan sub-bureau.
After answering, his expression turned extremely grim.
“Zhan Hao, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zheng Rong asked concernedly.
Jin Zhan Hao said, “The Chengnan sub-bureau just called to say that no incriminating evidence was found at the scene or on Yin Xi’s person. Also, the testimonies of the other two people in the room proved that she was diligently performing acupuncture.
Therefore, they have decided to revoke her suspect status.”
“Ah? How could this be? If it wasn’t her, could it be someone else? It’s impossible for your father to have been poisoned for no reason, right?”
Suddenly, Zheng Rong seemed to recall something and said sternly to Jin Zhan Hao, “Zhan Hao, come with me for a moment.”
Jin Zhan Hao looked at his phone thoughtfully. “Wait a moment, I’ll make a call first.”
He wanted to see who was behind that woman, supporting her.
At the hospital entrance, Yin Xi glanced at her watch; it was almost eleven o'clock.
She suddenly remembered her appointment with Qin Si Ye and turned to Tang Ran beside her. “Tang Ran, you take a taxi back to the pharmacy first. I have other matters to attend to.”
