Poisoning Event Exposed

Zhong Pingliang picked up the call, “Xiaofu, good news, my kidney transplant was successful and I will restore my confidence as a man soon!”

“Uh… Liang bro, bad news, our poison was detected by a company called Miracle Doctor Guan medical company. They reported it to the police already. Do you think the police will come for us?” Gao Xiaofu wasn’t in the mood to congratulate Zhong Pingliang since fear filled his heart!

“What? They detected it this soon? No way!” Zhong Pingliang was also shocked. He never imagined the opponent to make a move this quickly.

Wasn’t this Deadly Seven Herbs Poison a thousand-year poison. Wasn’t the cure unknown?! It seemed like Yaowang under Master Bing wasn’t so reliable!

“Exactly, Liang bro, what are we going to do! I don’t want to go to jail. I’m still young…” Gao Xiaofu was even more horrified when he heard the nervousness in Zhong Pingliang’s voice.

“Don’t worry, Xiaofu, I’ll ask my Dad right now. Master Bing already found someone as our scapegoat. Even if something happens, I will take all the responsibility without connecting it to you!” Zhong Pingliang comforted Gao Xiaofu.

“Good, that’s good!” Gao Xiaofu finally relaxed a little. “So there’s nothing I need to do? If the police come and ask me, should I say I don’t know anything about it?”

“Mhm, do not say anything. If they ask, tell them to come and ask me and pretend that you had nothing to do with it!” Zhong Pingliang replied.

“Okay, I understand!” Gao Xiaofu replied thankfully. As expected of Liang bro. He didn’t push away his responsibilities.

Zhong Pingliang ended the call and immediately called his father over. Zhong Fabai was outside the room and he just turned on the television to see that the news about the poisoning event which happened in the First School. As he watched, Zhong Pingliang summoned him inside.

“Dad, we’re exposed! Hurry up and call Master Bing. Don’t make me take responsibility for it!” It was impossible for Zhong Pingliang to stay calm since he was afraid of going to prison. He just received a healthy kidney and he was supposed to enjoy life. He couldn’t rot away in jail, “Xiaofu just called telling me how all Miracle Doctor Guan medical company found the reason for the coma, and they notified the police…”

“I was just watching the news too!” Zhong Fabai nodded seriously. “I will call Master Bing right now. Although he arranged everything, we have to double check!”

“Okay, Dad, please make sure it’s alright. I don’t want to go to jail!” Zhong Pingliang reminded.

“I won’t. How can I possibly let you go to jail?” Zhong Fabai waved his hands and dialed Li Cihua.

“Old Zhong?” Li Cihua picked up Zhong Fabai’s call and knew roughly why he called. Hence, he spoke before Zhong Fabai asked, “I will arrange someone to give in to the police right now. If the police investigate Pingliang, tell Pingliang to use this saying. As for other things, Master Bing will help you settle it!”

Li Cihua told Zhong Fabai what Zhong Pingliang needed to say and Zhong Fabai finally calmed down…

With the compounds of the Deadly Seven Herbs Poison provided by Miracle Doctor Guan’s medical company, the police quickly found doses of these Chinese herbs in the food. The poisoner was clever. They only put one herb in one dish. These herbs on its own were safe. Even a few of them mixed together could even repair and strengthen the kidney. However, the seven herbs mixed together were extremely poisonous, and that was why only a minority of students were poisoned!

After all, extremely few students ordered all seven dishes and ate them. For those students who only consumed two or three dishes, they would not be poisoned.

After finding the source of poison, the police quickly arranged a team to investigate the school’s dining hall. Without a doubt, the police quickly pinpointed the suspects to Zhong Pingliang and Gao Xiaofu, who went to the dining hall before everyone else.

According to the chef, only Zhong Pingliang and Gao Xiaofu touched the food in the kitchen alone, and other than that, no one else came in contact with it.

After confirming the chef did not have a motive, the police focused on Zhong Pingliang and Gao Xiaofu!

Zhong Pingliang didn’t expect the police to act so fast. They knocked on his door not long after Gao Xiaofu called him.

“Hello, I am Liu Wangli, Songshan’s First Team team leader. This is my ID” Liu Wangli came quickly and Zhong Pingliang’s father, Zhong Fabai greeted him.

“Hello, Officer Liu, you are finally here, that’s great!” Zhong Fabai quickly shook Liu Wangli’s hands passionately which surprised Liu Wangli. He was there to arrest his son. Why was he so passionate about it?”

“Mr. Zhong, why, did you look forward to my arrival?” Liu Wangli questioned in bewilderment.

“Yes, My son, Pingliang, became absent-minded and self-abased after he was harmed by a kidney trafficking company. One of his kidneys were taken away. I wanted to call the police, but he wouldn’t agree no matter what because he was afraid that the criminals would take revenge!” Zhong Fabai sighed pitifully, “I feel so sorry for my son. Since you are here, please persuade him. Tell him to corporate with you to arrest the criminals!”

“Huh?” Liu Wangli was speechless. He never imagined that Zhong Pingliang was also a victim of the kidney trafficking company. It seemed like this wasn’t as simple as what he thought. Was there an ulterior motive?

He decided to talk with Zhong Pingliang, “Is that so? Where is Zhong Pingliang right now?”

“He’s inside the room. He said that students laughed and scorned him at school for only having one kidney. They said that he was no longer a man, but a eunuch!” Zhong Fabai sighed as he spoke, “They scoffed and said that he sold his kidney to purchase ID, but officer Liu, does he need to sell his kidney with our family’s financial condition? Although I’m not that rich, I’m at least the CEO of an entertainment center, aren’t I? Can I not afford an ID?”

“…” Liu Wangli never thought of this before. On the contrary, he felt sorry for Zhong Pingliang after listening to Zhong Fabai’s words. However, how did Zhong Pingliang go poison the food and then hospitalized? He found it strange and asked, “Did Zhong Pingliang go to school today? According to our investigation, Zhong Pingliang should be at school right now. Why is he hospitalized again?”
