Qin Sheng was shocked. She followed Chu Xia and was about to run over to take a look when Gong Mochen pulled her back.
"Follow behind me."
This girl couldn't stop him from worrying. Was she afraid?
Qin Sheng was shouted at by Gong Mochen and obediently followed behind him. She took small steps and walked over to take a look at what was going on.
The crowd formed a circle and looked at Qin Zixian who was convulsing on the ground. The beautiful Qin Zixian probably never thought that she would fall to the ground and start convulsing for everyone to see!
Everyone only watched her. No one dared to go forward to help Qin Zixian.
"Stand still," Gong mochen instructed Qin Sheng.
He walked over to check on Qin Zixian's condition. Her entire body was stiff and her eyes were wide open. Her vision was also glazed, as if she was blind.
"Third Brother... Third Brother..." She breathed in and out rapidly. Her chest rose and fell violently, but she seemed to be unable to breathe.
"I'm here," Gong Mochen replied. "Nie Feng, carry Qin Zixian to the hospital."
"Third Brother, will I die?"
Qin Zixian shouted the last sentence. Her vision was dark and she couldn't breathe. She felt like she was suffocating. She really felt like she was going to suffocate! She wanted to reach out and rub her throat. Her limbs were numb and she couldn't control them at all.
"No. Nie Feng, hurry up!" Gong Mochen ordered.
Nie Feng leaned forward and was about to carry Qin Zixian, but he was stopped by Sikong Jue who'd stepped out of the crowd.
"I think Qin Zixian will die if she's taken to the hospital! Isn't there a doctor here? Doctor Ye, why don't you come over and treat Qin Zixian?" Sikong Jue looked at Ye Wei coldly.
Qin Sheng looked at Sikong Jue in surprise. His coldness made her feel like she was looking at a stranger.
She had never seen Sikong Jue like this before. His eyes were like the emerald eyes on the skull ring on his finger, cold and dark.
Sikong Jue's words instantly resonated with everyone.
"If she's a doctor, why doesn't she come over and take a look?"
"Yeah, she's a doctor! And she doesn't even have the heart to save lives!"
Many people were discussing Ye Wei's lack of empathy.
Ye Wei braced herself and walked over. "Let me take a look at her. I'll determine if she's really dying."
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she looked at Gong Mochen.
She was flustered. Maybe Gong Mochen was right when he'd said that he didn't want to drug anyone...
This should have happened to Sikong Jue, but it turned out Qin Zixian was the one who was affected!
She clearly saw Sikong Jue drink the wine in his right hand. Could it be that he had secretly exchanged his cup of wine when he snatched Li Ang's wine?
Her heart turned cold. If that was the case, it could only mean that Sikong Jue had sensed that there was something wrong with the wine!
She had used a purified medicine. It was colorless and tasteless. Logically, she shouldn't have been discovered!
Her brain was about to explode. How could Sikong Jue find out about it so easily? If Sikong Jue really found out about it, he would alert the enemy. And then it would be even harder to get Gong Mochen the antidote.
Ye Wei checked Qin Zixian's condition. She was the daughter of Gong Mochen's adoptive father. She couldn't let Qin Zixian die. However, if she took out the antidote, how was she going to explain why she brought the antidote with her?
Her original plan was to poison Sikong Jue. If he took the antidote himself, it would prove that he was His Highness Yu. She would've appeared when he was about to take the antidote and threatened him by exposing his identity, asking him to hand over Gong Mochen's antidote.
If he couldn't detoxify himself, it would prove that her guess was wrong. But then she would've secretly given him the antidote.
She had been following Sikong Jue secretly. Because her antidote was added with Interferon, it would delay the efficacy of the medicine. Therefore, according to her judgment, Sikong Jue should have symptoms of poisoning by now. However, everything about her plan had changed now.
Qin Zixian was only breathing weakly. Her face was blue from suffocation.
"Doctor Ye, what's her condition?" Gong Mochen asked.
Ye Wei was confused. She had told Gong Mochen before, why did he still ask?
However, she wisely chose to do as the man asked. After all, there must be a reason for him to ask twice.
"I think it's Aconitum poisoning, possibly from a purified Aconitum alkaloid. When this poison is ingested in small amounts, it can cause symptoms of poisoning. It can kill a person in ten minutes."
"What kind of antidote do you need?" Gong Mochen continued to ask.
"I need amiodarone. I also need dopamine and propofol. I must have amiodarone now!" Ye Wei said.
"What a coincidence. I happen to have amiodarone here. I bought it to treat my mother's heart disease!" Nie Feng immediately said.
Everyone sighed. A coincidence saved a life!
Ye Wei took amiodarone and some of her specially made antidote powder. She purified aconitum and added some things to it. However, amiodarone alone wasn't enough...
She injected it into one of Qin Zixian's vein. Qin Zixian's condition improved in moments.
The doctor who was called came with an ambulance. The doctor and nurse carried the stretcher and ran into the banquet hall.
"Where is the patient?" the doctor asked.
"Here. She has aconitine poisoning. She's been injected with amiodarone," Ye Wei explained the situation to the doctor.
"Okay, we understand." The doctor and nurse carried Qin Zixian out of the banquet hall.
Just when Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, Li Ang, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"President Gong, don't you find it strange? Why was your sister poisoned by aconitine?" he said evilly.
Gong Mochen smiled. "Thank you for reminding me. I'll look into it."
"No need to thank me. I've already called the police for you. Someone poisoned Miss Qin at the banquet. I've been staying at the Qin residence. I've called the police to repay the Qin family for taking care of me," Li Ang said.
Gong Mochen's eyes narrowed. "The Duke is really grateful."
"It's not that I'm grateful. I just don't want anyone to get away with it." Li Ang smirked.
Just as the two men were talking, the police arrived.
Gong Mochen pulled Qin Sheng to his side and looked at the police who walked in.
"President Gong, I'm sorry. We've received a report that someone poisoned Miss Qin Zixian during the banquet," the police said respectfully.
Gong Mochen raised his hand. "Go ahead, Sergeant Ma."
"Thank you, President Gong. Search them one by one!" Sergeant Ma ordered his men.
"Uncle, do you know Sergeant Ma?" Qin Sheng raised her head and asked.
"Yes, I've met him. Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen," Gong Mochen said as he pulled the girl into his arms.
Qin Sheng wasn't afraid at all. She curiously poked her head out of the man's arms and looked at the searching police officers.
The police officers found Ye Wei. Ye Wei opened her bag and asked the police officers to look through it.
"Reporting to Superintendent Ma! We found something here. We found some pills!"
Ye Wei's face turned pale as if she had seen a ghost. Gong Mochen had told her to throw the things away to prevent Sikong Jue from realizing that it was her. He said that it would be harmful to her, so she'd flushed the pills down the toilet.
But how had the the medicine appeared in her purse again? It was as if a ghost was playing tricks on her.
