The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 288

Chapter 288: 288

Seeing her still calm and even sighing as if she hadn’t had enough, Old Man Mo’s heart was shattered. They say that once you get a wife, you forget your mother; this girl hasn’t even started her own family and she’s already forgetting her own grandfather. Such an unfilial girl.

"Old man."

"Hmm?"

Mo Yan raised her head and looked at the tree beside the door of the eastern room in the courtyard, which had lost all its leaves, and said, "Who do you think is better behaved, Yu or I?"

"Of course it’s you."

"Indeed. I’ve had a good memory since I was three, and from that time I knew to give the fun toys to my sister, and save the delicious food for her as well. I even brushed my teeth myself and took care of my sister, helping our weary parents by washing their feet. Many people said I was sensible, and I think so myself. Later, when I started school, I was always the top student every year, whereas Yu constantly ranked last, but I didn’t care about these things, I just did my best. Afterwards, I passed the high school exams, went to university, and Niannian won scholarships, getting so many that we lost count, as people say."

Mo Yan tilted her head slightly and rested her hand underneath, looking up at the sky, "Since I was young, I’ve been a model student, wearing red flowers on my breast, and red armbands on my shoulders, and I’ve been well-behaved for so many years. I’ve always thought of myself as talented, capable of accomplishing difficult tasks. As outsiders say, I have strong working capabilities. In university, not joining the party was perhaps the first rebellious thing I barely managed to do."

The old man nodded his head.

"Actually, to this day, I still want to do one more rebellious thing. I promise it’ll be the last. If anything goes wrong, I’m willing to accept everything."

Ye Tian never knew Tang Su’s body was so fragile, fragile like a puddle of water. Ye Tian held her in his arms, not daring to move, fearing he would wake her up.

As Tang Su fell down, the crowd that came for the wedding was instantly confused. What kind of wedding is this? What drama is this playing out?

Ye Tian held the fainted Tang Su, feeling her increasingly weak breaths in his arms, and his heart was as if it was being stabbed by a knife—deeply and shallowly. He loved her, deeply loved her. She understood the hardships he faced, fighting through countless challenges, and he had clearly realized, his task was no longer just about revenge. If mishandled, not only his life could be at stake, but it could also implicate the people around him. He didn’t want to see that happen.

Yet now, she suddenly lay in his arms, suddenly closed her eyes, suddenly passed out without saying a word, suddenly collapsed into his arms... If this was their last moment, not even a final greeting was exchanged.

"Ye Tian, she’s been poisoned, we need to rush her to the hospital," Zhang Houtu and the others rushed over, leaning over to speak to Ye Tian.

"Poisoned, poisoned, poisoned..." Ye Tian held Tang Su in his arms, muttering these words, as if realizing something important. When he finally came to his senses, his mind also cleared up a lot, and he started to handle the emergency in front of him.

"Li Jing, you keep watch, I’ll go start the car."

"Wait, he might be able to treat Tang Su."

As soon as Pig Hu said this, everyone followed his gaze, and a man wearing a green cloth robe with a conical hat came over. He walked with his head down, but he didn’t bump into anyone, not even brushing shoulders, a trick better than many who had their eyes open.

"He’s the one. We met a few days ago; he came with me to the graveyard, and he knows a bit about saving lives," Pig Hu said.

Ye Tian waved his hand impatiently, then shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, let the doctor in!" The onlookers had already dispersed quite a bit, and Ye Tian’s sudden shout scared many of them. The few who were uncooperative were grabbed by Zhang Houtu and Zhang Daniu and thrown out; a slap to jar their senses made them leave on their own.

Liu Haiju didn’t say a word; he clearly knew his worth. Since Ye Tian was willing to pay a high price for him, it certainly wasn’t to feed a freeloader, or else he wouldn’t look like this now. Looking around, Xu Qingyang, Li Jing, Zhang Daniu—these were all well-known figures in the worldly society, although not quite top tycoons, still not simple characters.

Liu Haiju quietly felt Tang Su’s pulse, very weak. He took out a black bag he carried with him and extracted a silver needle from it, stained it with a bit of blood from Tang Su’s mouth corner, and instantly, the needle turned black. He sniffed it, "She’s been poisoned." He then muttered, "Prepare egg whites, no yolks, and have her drink them." It wasn’t clear whom he was addressing, but Xu Qingyang was the first to dash out. He was used to making escape preparations, so he had already investigated the surroundings early on and was very familiar with them.

After finishing his say, Liu Haiju took out a small bottle from the black bag, poured out a medicine pill, black and about the size of a soybean, and administered it to Tang Su without lifting her chin, just leaving the pill in her mouth to dissolve, then handed the bottle to Ye Tian.

"Change every four hours, there are four pills here, one taken, three left. I can only make an antidote after the person who poisoned her is found. If not...then just wait for death."

These words left Ye Tian a bit desperate and also a bit annoyed; where was he supposed to find the person who poisoned her? He couldn’t help feeling some dissatisfaction towards the person before him.

"The onset of the poison was about ten minutes ago, about twenty hours ago, what did she eat, who did she eat with, who served her, all of these need to be clarified. I’m not an immortal, treating and saving lives depends on observing, smelling, questioning, and feeling the pulse. If you think I can just snap my fingers and save someone, then you’re mistaken. Also, don’t go to the hospital; it looks like liquid food poisoning, and stomach pumping won’t work due to the quick absorption."

Ye Tian was disheartened, but this was not the time for him to fret. He gathered his spirits and instructed everyone to return home while also discreetly inquiring about last night’s events from Zheng Xinru and Lin Jingran.

"It can’t be, the bride isn’t supposed to drink water, or even soup, how could there be liquid food?" Susu didn’t drink water yesterday.

"Indeed. Susu only ate an egg this morning, and that too because I persuaded her to eat it, after all, she needed the energy for the day’s activities."
