Chapter 2097: Poisoned

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She only allowed Xia Zhe to use these poisons as he faced a lot of danger in Country M. She was worried about him being in Sky City alone, so she applied poison on the daggers she gave him. He only needed to nick his opponent and make a small cut and the poison would spread through the person’s body.

The poison that Qiao Mei fed Xia He was named “Paralysis Powder”. After one drank it, one would feel as if one had been fatally poisoned. Even the doctors would not be able to find a cure for it. However, this was all just an illusion. After drinking the antidote, one would be fine and there would be no harm done to one’s health at all.

“Help! Call an ambulance! Someone has been poisoned! Help!” Qiao Mei shouted towards the door.

Da Zhuang’s subordinates rushed into the room. When they saw that Xia He’s face was ashen and her lips were purple, it was obvious to them that she had been poisoned! They hurriedly picked her up and ran downstairs, worried that she would die if there was any delay.

When Qiao Mei reached the corridor, she glared at Song Dan and pointed at him as she said, “You poisoned my elder sister! You wanted to kill her! Our family will remember this debt! If anything should happen to my elder sister! I won’t let you off!”

“What poison?” Before Song Dan could finish speaking, Qiao Mei kicked Song Dan in the lower part of his body, causing him to roll around on the floor in pain and be unable to speak.

Qiao Mei said in disgust, “Da Zhuang, hand him over to Zou Ming! We have to investigate this matter thoroughly!”

“Yes!” Da Zhuang said.

The crowd standing around dispersed. They all believed the story that Song Dan had poisoned Xia He and that was enough. Xia He’s reputation was protected and Qiao Mei would slowly settle the score with Song Dan for what happened today.

Zou Ming also found out who had drugged Xia He in the first place. The culprits were Xia He’s classmates, Tang Xin and Mao Lu. The two of them had some disagreements with Xia He before. At their last class reunion, the two of them had been embarrassed in front of everyone. They felt that it was caused by Xia He and they could not get over it.

Now that they had the chance to punish Xia He, and also do Song Dan a favor at the same time, they were naturally willing to take the risk! Song Dan had promised them that if anything happened, he would take full responsibility and definitely would not expose the two of them.

“It’s not us! It’s really not us! It’s all Song Dan’s fault! We have nothing to do with him!” Mao Lu said fearfully.

“Whether it’s you or not! Follow me back to the police station and we’ll talk about it there!” Zou Ming said.

“It’s really not us! Don’t take us away!” After saying that, Mao Lu looked at the bride, Luo Xi, and said, “Xi Xi! Help me! Help us! We really didn’t do anything like that! This is all a misunderstanding!”

Luo Xi looked at Mao Lu in disgust and said, “What do you mean by misunderstanding! You actually want to harm Xia He at my wedding banquet! You have caused chaos at my wedding banquet! I haven’t even settled this score with you yet! How dare you ask me to help you! Dream on!”

“Xi Xi! We really didn’t do it on purpose. It’s Song Dan who asked us to do this! It’s all Song Dan’s fault! We’re really innocent! Xi Xi! I still have a daughter! I still have a husband! You know my family’s situation. I can’t go to jail! Please save me! Please save me!” Mao Lu shouted.

Luo Xi looked at Zou Ming expressionlessly and said, “Officer, please remove the two of them. My wedding banquet isn’t over yet. The other guests are still eating.”

“Sure thing. So sorry to disturb you. This is Miss Qiao’s wedding gift to you. I hope you can accept it.” Zou Ming took out a thick red packet and a big smile bloomed on Luo Xi’s face. It looked like there was at least 2,000 dollars inside. She did not expect this Xia family member to be so generous.

Although it was not the Xia family’s fault that this incident happened today, Qiao Mei felt a little apologetic that the grudge between the Xia family and Song Dan had caused Luo Xi to get involved. She wanted to give Luo Xi some compensation for the trouble.

When they reached the hospital, Xia Zhe and Xia Wen got wind of what happened. They hid the news from Mo Zhu and rushed downstairs to visit Xia He. Both Xia Wen and Xia Zhe stood in front of the bed with ashen expressions.

“Eldest Brother, Hubby, why have you come downstairs?” Qiao Mei asked as she walked in.

“I heard the nurses talking about it. Initially, I thought that it’s someone with the same name. I didn’t expect it to really be Xia He. What exactly is going on?” Xia Wen asked with a frown.

He only had this one and only younger sister. He had just heard from the doctor that they could not find an antidote for the poison. Should anything happen to Xia He, he would avenge her even if he had to commit murder!
