The poison would not have been something to make her frown and stand here in distress if it had already been resolved.
Ye Ziyu shook her head and looked helplessly at Di Mingjue, "The doctors can't detect what kind of poison it is. The only thing we can do now is to control the spread of the poison within the body, then quickly find the person who administered it and obtain the antidote from them."
Yu Xixi was frightened.
Someone would actually poison someone... Who would be so bold as to poison and harm someone in this society governed by law?
Ye Chenhan put his arm around Yu Xixi's waist, preventing her from falling, "Are you suspecting Gu Xiuyu of poisoning him?"
"It shouldn't be," Yu Xixi said in a low voice.
The banquet was hosted by the Gu Corporation. If something happened to someone at his banquet, he couldn't escape responsibility. Even if there was an irreconcilable feud, one wouldn't go so far as to endanger the entire family just to get revenge on one person.
Hearing Yu Xixi's words, Ye Chenhan involuntarily removed his hand from her waist, "Are you still making excuses for him?"
"No," Yu Xixi quickly explained, "I just think we shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily. Poisoning is not a small matter; if we make wild guesses and complicate things, it will delay the treatment for Brother Mingjue."
Yu Xixi's words did not dispel Ye Chenhan's thoughts; instead, they made him more certain that Yu Xixi was speaking up for Gu Xiuyu.
Without understanding the full picture, he became convinced that Gu Xiuyu was the one who administered the poison.
"Ziyu, don't worry. Now that I know about this, I won't let you take the risk alone. I'm going to find Gu Xiuyu right now. I want to see what exactly he did last night." Ye Chenhan impulsively prepared to leave.
Yu Xixi's attempts to stop him only accelerated his actions.
Seeing the buzzing in the ward, Ye Ziyu, with a headache, reprimanded, "Enough! Can you stop acting impulsively!"
Ye Chenhan quieted down.
"If things could be resolved so easily, I would have gone to find Gu Xiuyu myself. But we have no evidence to prove that Mingjue's poisoning is related to him."
"Chenhan, listen to Sister Ziyu. Let's discuss what to do first, and then we can confront him when we are more certain."
Ye Chenhan agitatedly ran his hands through his hair, his entire body filled with pent-up aggression, and slumped onto a chair nearby.
"This is just awful! To be poisoned by someone. When I find the poisoner, I will definitely make them experience the pain of the poison corroding their body tenfold," Ye Chenhan roared in a low voice.
He had always hated people who played dirty tricks behind people's backs, especially when the target of these tricks was a loved one.
"Sister Ziyu, don't worry too much. The poisoning of Brother Mingjue was discovered in time, and he will definitely be safe in the end," Yu Xixi comforted.
Besides hearing words of comfort, were there any other options?
Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Chenhan, "You two go back first and help me look after the children. For now, don't tell anyone else about Mingjue being poisoned."
"You should go back and rest. I'll stay here and keep watch," Ye Chenhan countered, persuading Ye Ziyu, "If you keep staying up like this, when he's alright, your body will be ruined. Moreover, the culprit hasn't been found yet, so you need to take good care of yourself."
"Sister Ziyu, listen to Chenhan. Although he's unreliable in some things, the situation is different now, and he can definitely take good care of Brother Mingjue," Yu Xixi joined the persuasion.
Even Shen Lin, who was standing nearby, chimed in.
So many things had happened in just one night, and too many events had to be dealt with in a few short hours. Ye Ziyu now looked like she was holding her breath, and if she couldn't catch her breath, she too would fall ill.
Ye Ziyu took their words to heart, but going back to rest was impossible. Her greatest concession would be to rest in the ward for a while.
