Chapter 44 A two-pronged approach

“Shake!”

Before seeing the person, you hear the voice first. Before the door of the ward was opened, Huang Chiyao heard Ling Ling's voice. Before she could respond, she heard the nurse outside the door scolding: "Keep quiet in the hospital and don't disturb other patients to rest."

"sorry Sorry!"

As soon as Ling Ling entered Huang Chi Yaodi's ward, she hugged her tightly and spoke excitedly, "Yaoyao! Are you okay? You scared me to death!"

Huang Chiyao helplessly patted Ling Ling's back and asked her to get up.

"I'm much better now. You don't have to talk like that. The door is already closed."

Unlike Ling Ling's silent roar with a worried look on her face, Zhang Dianxin's face was ashen and his expression was solemn.

"Dian Xin?"

"Hey, God of Cookery, what's wrong with you? Aren't you usually quite talkative? Why aren't you talking nonsense now?"

Zhang Dianxin puffed up her cheeks and said nothing until Ling Ling poked her face like a steamed dumpling. Then she let out a sigh of indignation. "This is simply a huge scandal in the catering industry! It is a huge humiliation to food!"

Ling Ling said to Huang Chiyao unhappily, "Oh, she's back to normal. She's going crazy again."

Huang Chi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She originally asked Su Jin to bring her two roommates over because she didn't want them to worry. Because seeing her safe and sound was better than a simple message of safety.

But now, she felt that it was her two friends who gave her peace of mind.

It turns out that she still has some selfish motives.

Zhang Dianxin came over, sat next to the yellow-winged rocking bed, held her hand, and asked solemnly: "What did you eat for lunch?"

Huang Chiyao thought about it and decided that she trusted her two roommates as they were also her good friends, so she decided to tell them everything she knew and analyze it together.

Except for the tragic experience of Rotman.

After the two of them listened quietly, Ling Ling was the first to react.

"Oh my god..." Ling Ling was stunned and shuddered. "How can there be such bad people! It's so scary! What on earth are they doing this for?"

Huang Chi shook his index finger to his lips and made a "hush" sound.

"I hope you will never spread any of what I just said to you."

"why?"

"Because I think a lot of it is just speculation, and there is no substantial evidence at the moment."

Ling Ling clenched her fist to show that she understood. "I see. It must be because we can't alert the enemy, right? Don't worry! I will keep my mouth shut and not reveal a single word until the bad guys are caught!"

Huang Chi shook his brows slightly, but did not refute.

Forget it. Although she wanted to say it wasn’t because of this, as long as the goal was achieved, it was fine.

Zhang Dian asked a question out of the blue.

"Chiyao, you said that you were the only one who ate the braised duck with taro, and the duck meat is the material for the cafeteria downstairs, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"What about taro?"

Huang Chiyao was stunned by Zhang Dianxin's sudden question. She hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be okay. Because taro is a special ingredient purchased by the restaurant on the tenth floor."

"wrong."

Zhang Dianxin reached out and touched Huang Chiyao's neck, his fingertips gently sliding down along the red scratches.

"Hiss——" Huang Chiyao couldn't help feeling a slight pain, but he didn't understand what Zhang Dianxin wanted to do.

Seeing this, Ling Ling immediately stopped Zhang Dianxin's actions. "Hey! Zhang Dianxin! What are you doing? You've hurt Yaoyao."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Wingyao." Zhang Dianxin put down his fingers, but then asked her: "Did you scratch the marks on your neck yourself? Did you feel difficulty breathing at the time? Did your throat itch?"

Huang Chiyao was very surprised, "How did you know?"

Zhang Dianxin covered his mouth and thought for a while before answering her, "I suspect that you have food poisoning not only from the duck meat, but also from the taro. Didn't you notice anything unusual when you ate this dish?"

Huang Chiyao thought for a moment, "It seems... there is nothing special, just a little stinging in the mouth and a little dry in the throat. But I thought that eating taro would make me feel dry, it's just a little more obvious this time."

"No. If ordinary taro is handled well and cooked thoroughly, it shouldn't taste like this." Zhang Dianxin grabbed Huang Chiyao's hands again, "You should have eaten calla lilies."

"Arum lily?"

"It's the Dripping Guanyin. I think people from Yueyang, especially Chiyao, should have heard of it. Calla lily looks very similar to taro, but the whole plant is poisonous. If you eat it by mistake, you will have a sore throat, swollen tongue, and difficulty breathing. In serious cases, you may suffocate or even die. You must never eat it. I guess that dish of braised duck with taro had calla lily mixed in."

"That is to say, Chiyao, your food poisoning is not just the same as the other students who were infected, but there is an additional source of poisoning, so your condition developed earlier and was more serious."

Ling Ling was skeptical of Zhang Dianxin's words, "Why didn't the doctor see it?"

"It may be because... all the Methodist students sent in today had similar symptoms of food poisoning, some mild and some severe, and Chiyao did have these symptoms. But, Chiyao, didn't you tell the doctor that you ate taro?"

"The doctor didn't ask, so we didn't tell him. We all thought there was something wrong with the duck meat."

"Damn!" Zhang Dianxin rarely cursed, "All three of them are fools. You guys are so stupid that you still say one of them is good at studying, one is good at talking, and the other is a big boss. You really care too much!"

Ling Ling did not speak up for Huang Chiyao this time. She just muttered to Zhang Dianxin symbolically, "Aiya, can't you speak more nicely? Why do you say Yaoyao is a fool?"

Huang Chiyao smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Dianxin poked her in the heart again.

"Chiyao, this matter is very serious. That person not only wants to make you have diarrhea and vomit, but also deliberately added calla lilies. Does he want to kill you?"

Huang Chi shook his head in silence.

Unexpectedly, Rotman wanted her to die.

But she always felt that something was wrong, and that there must be something wrong with her reasoning in some links.

She tried to retort.

"But I still remember that when I was about to faint, she was the first one to notice that something was wrong with me. She didn't really want to kill me, did she? I heard that she was the one who paid for this single room for me."

Ling Ling disagreed: "Yaoyao, this is the bad thing about you. You always think that people are inherently good and that everyone has a conscience. But there are many people who have malicious intentions for no reason! You have to be on guard."

Huang Chiyao didn't expect that Ling Ling, who had been spoiled since childhood, would actually say such a thing.

Ling Ling was a little embarrassed. "Don't look at me like that. Don't think I'm heartless all day long. I've watched a lot of criminal investigation documentaries, and I just can't trust human nature."

Huang Chiyao felt that he had heard too much today and it was a bit difficult to digest.

It was as if there were whirlpools in front of her pulling her down and trying to swallow her up.

She asked them to go back first.

"You guys go back to school first, I can handle it by myself."

"No way. We are going to stay with you in the hospital tonight until you are discharged. We don't want to go back to the dormitory and face that creepy man."

"who?"

"You don't know, our fourth roommate moved into the dormitory today."
