Chapter 540 Whose Fault Was the Mistake Back Then

Chapter 544 How Much Longer Can She Live

Ouyang also appeared at the pharmaceutical factory at this time. The entire laboratory was covered in blood.

Elder Fan was slumped on the ground in the corridor outside, looking like he was on his last legs.

Asen quickly inspected the situation in the laboratory. The current assessment indicated signs of a struggle.

"Elder Fan, you were inside then?"

It was clear they were separated, and even without guards, they shouldn't have been able to get out of their rooms.

"I came out when I heard noise from next door."

"You mean your door could be opened?"

"Yes, it opened with a twist."

Asen noticed the bloodstains on Elder Fan and looked at him with different eyes.

"What did you see when you went in?"

"Old Dang's carotid artery was bleeding, and he was unconscious. I tried to stop the bleeding and call for help immediately, but it was too late."

Ouyang carefully read the suicide note left by Elder Dang. The handwriting seemed hurried, and the content detailed how he had concealed Ye Shengge's illness years ago.

"So foolish, one wrong step leads to a cascade of errors!"

Asen suddenly grabbed Elder Fan by the collar, pointing at the bloodstains on his hem.

"Elder Fan, I hope you can provide a good explanation for this."

Elder Fan looked down at the bloodstains on his body and shook his head helplessly.

"If I said I don't know, would you believe me? Besides, Old Dang didn't commit suicide. I distinctly heard another person moving in the next room."

"We will investigate all of this, but Elder Fan, it is indeed difficult to clarify your situation right now."

"Yes, it is difficult to clarify. This is a conspiracy. We even had dinner together tonight, and Old Dang happily said he had found some issues."

Ye Shengge arrived. She walked step by step towards the blood-soaked Elder Dang. The old man who rarely spoke could no longer watch her with a silent smile.

"Master, I'm late."

Zi Yisheng glanced at the suicide note before handing it to Ye Shengge, hoping to lessen her grief.

Ye Shengge knelt beside the note, her hands trembling as she took it. She didn't believe a single word written on it.

"The logic doesn't hold. Master had no reason to compromise."

Ye Shengge tossed the suicide note aside and ignored it. Seeing that her master was still wearing the clothes she bought made her heart ache even more. However, she was perplexed to see that the man who normally disliked wearing leather shoes was wearing a pair.

"Take off the shoes and let me see."

Asen quickly removed the shoes and, upon pressing the heel, felt an unusual texture. He drew the dagger from his waist, cut open the shoe, and revealed a letter wrapped in oil paper.

Elder Fan also walked over at this moment. Ye Shengge quickly got up to support him.

"Child, Old Dang was murdered."

"I know. I will find out everything."

"Young Master Zi, it's a prescription."

Ye Shengge took it and read it first. Elder Fan, however, pointed at the prescription with trembling fingers.

"This is it. Old Dang was very happy tonight saying he found something amiss with the prescription from years ago. This is the evidence."

Zi Yisheng handed the prescription to Ouyang. This prescription was very important.

A death meant Feng Zhanhe would take over. When he took out handcuffs, Elder Fan voluntarily extended his hands.

"Child, I heard the sound of high heels walking next door. You must investigate thoroughly."

"Don't use handcuffs. Just take him away."

Zi Yisheng spoke, and Ye Shengge hugged Elder Fan, unwilling to let go.

"Master, wait for me to pick you up."

"Alright, Master will wait."

Elder Dang was also carried away for further autopsy.

Ye Shengge looked at the bloodstains on the ground and cried uncontrollably. Even in his old age, he had to suffer such torment.

The entire pharmaceutical factory was placed under lockdown again. A woman wearing high heels was easy to find, but the concern was that the person might have already destroyed the evidence.

"A reward will be offered for any information. Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded handsomely."

And the reward was substantial enough to entice everyone.

Ye Shengge couldn't hold on for long and was admitted to the hospital. Elder Gu became her attending physician.

"The prescription Old Dang hid appeared normal at first glance, but upon closer examination, it was found that the dosage of one herb was too low, which is the main reason for the residual toxicity."

"What about the child? If the poison in my wife has always been present, could it be transmitted to the child?"

"It's hard to say. It requires an examination to know."

Zi Yisheng had a splitting headache. Ouyang quickly contacted people; they needed to recall them.

"Is the current blood volume enough?"

"It's almost enough. If her body is in optimal condition, we can start in a week. However, her current condition is not good."

Ye Shengge lay on the hospital bed, listening to the noise outside. Her heart was unusually calm. She had a premonition that she might never leave this hospital bed again.

"Madam, Gu Ning is here to see you."

"Gu Ning? Let him in."

Mother Ye carefully helped her daughter up and smiled when she saw the child entering.

"He looks about the same age as Xiao Youyou."

"Auntie, hello. I'm five and a half years old."

"If you call me Auntie, what should you call her?"

Mother Ye deliberately teased Gu Ning. Gu Miao stood at the door and nodded at Ye Shengge.

"Call her Sister. You are both young."

"Such a sweet talker."

Mother Ye pulled Little Gu Ning to the bedside and handed him an apple.

Ye Shengge extended her frail hand, and Little Gu Ning quickly offered his.

"Sister, are you very ill?"

"No, I'm just here to recuperate."

"Oh, I see. My dad said I had a serious illness when I was little, and the doctors were unwilling to treat me then."

Ye Shengge saw traces of Ye Yage on Gu Ning's face. What a good child.

"Your father sacrificed a lot for you. You must be filial to him in the future."

"Yes, I will. Dad saves money and doesn't spend it on himself. I know he's saving up for my college education."

Ye Shengge nodded. Gu Miao was a good man and a good father.

"What illness does your father have? Will there be trouble if he's away from work for too long?"

"Dad isn't sick, he just needs to have blood drawn every day. But he eats well, and I get to drink chicken soup and fish soup every day."

"Blood drawn?"

Ye Shengge looked at Asen standing at the door, but he lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze.

She unconsciously touched the back of her head, and Ye Shengge smiled bitterly.

Mother Ye was also confused; she hadn't considered anything related to her daughter.

"Gu Ning, Auntie is tired. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow to chat with Auntie?"

"Okay, you need to rest more when you're sick."

Gu Miao held his son's hand but took another look at the person on the hospital bed who looked very thin.

"Asen, tell me the truth."

Mother Ye wept beside her after hearing everything. Her life! Her daughter was going to break her heart.

Ye Shengge turned her back to everyone and wept silently. No wonder she had a premonition that she would never leave this hospital bed. Full blood transfusion would affect the heart the most. How much longer could she live?

She wondered if she could return to her past life after dying this time. But without her family and lover, what would be the point of going back?

Gu Miao had been holding his son the entire time and didn't leave. He heard everything Asen said.

"Dad, Auntie is very seriously ill."

"Yes, Auntie is very pitiful."

"What about her children? Will they also be without a mother, like me?"

Gu Miao quickly covered his son's mouth and left with him.

"Gu Ning, your mother is not worthy of being a mother, but Aunt Ye Shengge is a very good mother."

"Oh, I see."

Gu Ning silently watched the departing hospital room. He hoped the pretty aunt would be cured like him.

"Dad, you need to eat more so you can give more blood to Auntie."

Gu Miao's lips twitched. He was dizzy from having his blood drawn every day. He was truly his father's son.

"I won't eat Dad's food today. You need to cheer up."

"Okay, cheer up."

Zi Yisheng was currently meeting with the found Elder Wei, Nurse Wei, and Wei Songyan. The hardships of life had aged them all significantly.

"Young Master Zi."

Ouyang handed the prescription to Elder Wei, who, after a brief glance, knelt down.

"Do you admit it?"

"I'm sorry, the Baili family threatened me with my family back then."

"Very good. It's good that you admit it."

Wei Songyan didn't expect to see Zi Yisheng again. After more than ten years, he hadn't changed and was still so captivating.

Zi Yisheng waved his hand, signaling for them to be taken away. It was meaningless to ask anything further.

"Young Master Zi, I can save your wife."

"No need. I don't trust you."

Wei Songyan thought of the girl who was doted on by everyone back then, and now she was his wife. He should have had a good life, but if not for her, how could he have ended up like this?

"Hahahaha, alright. You all deserve to die. Everyone who owes me deserves to die."

Zi Yisheng frowned, his eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness.

"Send her outside."

"Yes."

Elder Wei wasn't sure what "outside" meant, but it was unlikely to be a place of comfort.

"Young Master Zi, spare me. It's all my fault. My death is enough. They were never involved in anything."

"You deserve to die. They are merely the price for harming my wife."

"Young Master Zi, I can truly save your wife. I've been researching the secret medicine of the Baili family for years. I can say I'm the person who understands everything in the world the best."

Zi Yisheng tapped the table, hesitating for a moment.

"Send him to Elder Gu."

"Hahahaha, Zi Yisheng, in the end, you still need my maternal grandfather. What were you doing all this time?"

Ye Mu En obtained the list of disabled people in advance, and the people sent to verify it were cross-referencing them one by one.

"Young Master Ye, your informants say that two disabled people are missing from their list, both of whom had their legs injured within the last two months."

"Send people to keep looking, especially for the reason for their disappearance."

"Yes. We've also discovered that innocent people are being victimized again recently. We've already ambushed people near the assault sites, waiting for them to act again."

"Excellent. Once you find them, don't alert them. You must find their lair."

Ye Mu En felt he was close to uncovering the Baili patriarch's lair. This man must be doing something terrible with these disabled people.

The second medicine rain fell in broad daylight, but it was intercepted by Ye Mu En's people who were spread throughout Ming City.

Everyone who came into contact with the medicine rain became the first test subjects, and the first batch of blocking agents produced in the laboratory were injected into their bodies.

The waiting time for the results made everyone sweat. If successful, they would shift from being passive to active.
