Chapter 582: Poisoned

A few hours ago, something happened to Shi He in the hospital ward again. If not for Shi He’s tenacious willpower and the fact that he had pressed the bell above his head and called the doctor on duty, he would have been killed.
Shi Ke immediately joined forces with Chief Zheng to order the various exits of the hospital to be blocked. He also checked the hospital’s surveillance cameras, but he had yet to find any valuable clues.
Shi Ke and Shi Yu could not let anything happen to Shi He in the hospital again, so they simply spent a high price to buy a batch of medical equipment overnight. They hired a few doctors who knew how to operate and install the equipment and modified a ward at home to ensure Shi He’s personal safety.
“It’s a type of poison.” After the doctor did a comprehensive physical examination of Shi He, he quickly came to a conclusion.
“What poison?” Shi Ke asked anxiously.
The doctor shook his head. He had never seen this poison before, but he knew that patients who were poisoned with this poison would often have an attack. When the illness acted up, the patient’s entire body would feel like it was roasted and it would be terrifyingly hot. The pain and torture were far from what ordinary people could tolerate.
Shi Ke saw that he did not know the way to cure this poison at all, and his expression was instantly covered in a layer of frost. “Find! You have to find someone who can detoxify him! If you can’t save my brother, I’ll make things difficult for you!”
“CEO Shi, don’t be anxious!” The doctor was so frightened by him that he was sweating profusely. He frowned and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly, he thought of something that he had forgotten for a long time, and his eyes lit up. “I remember now! Someone had been afflicted with this poison in the past. He was still young at that time and was sent to the hospital by his family. It was my teacher who treated him. I wonder if he has found a way to recover now.”
A trace of hope suddenly rose in Shi Yu’s heart. He hurriedly rushed to the doctor and asked in a trembling voice, “Who is that person? Can you still remember?”
“Well…” The doctor looked troubled. He met Shi Ke’s eyes that looked like they were about to eat him up at any time. He quickly explained himself,”It’s not that I don’t want to say it, CEO Shi. It’s just that that person didn’t reveal his name to the hospital when he came. I don’t think he was dressed like an ordinary person. He should be either rich or noble.”
Shi Ke was so angry that he punched the wall. Shi He’s face gradually turned from white to a shocking red. His chest rose and fell violently, as if he could not breathe at any moment.
Shi Ke immediately closed his eyes in heartache. “Where’s your teacher now? I want to see him immediately!”
Late at night, a black car sped into the pitch-black night like a ghost running in the dark. With a murderous aura that could force gods and Buddhas back, it finally stopped in front of an old villa.
“Knock on the door.” Shi Ke gave the secretary a look with a cold expression.
The secretary hurriedly opened the car door for him. Then, not daring to delay, he jogged to the door and knocked.
The person who opened the door was a 70-year-old man. His eyes were bright and his expression was serious. Even in the middle of the night, he did not look tired. Instead, he stood at the door with a straight posture, as if he had expected someone to come tonight.
Shi Ke got out of the car and adjusted his outer tire. He reached out to shake the old man’s hand and said politely, “Elder Zhong, I’m really sorry to disturb you. It’s just that my brother…”
“Got it.” The old man’s voice was hoarse, but it was especially clear and loud. It seemed that even though he was already 70 years old this year, his body had always been well maintained.
Shi Ke couldn’t help but speed up excitedly. “Then do you have a way to treat it?”
“I don’t have that ability.” Elder Zhong turned around expressionlessly and turned around to leave.
Shi Ke hurriedly stopped him anxiously. Even if he could not obtain the exact antidote from Elder Zhong, he might have another clue if he could find out the identity of the poisoned child back then.
Seeing that Shi Ke’s hand was about to touch the old man’s arm, Elder Zhong’s back seemed to have eyes. His body nimbly dodged to the side, and his light-colored pupils glared at him unhappily. “Young people are so rash. Although I don’t know how to cure that poison, I know that it won’t kill your brother. It just makes him suffer a little more.”
Shi Ke suddenly frowned and said coldly in disagreement, “How can I watch my brother be harmed and suffer so much for no reason? Elder Zhong, please tell me the identity of that child back then!”
Elder Zhong snorted and rolled his eyes at him in disdain. “It’s useless even if you find him. He’s not as delicate as your brother. Even if he can’t detoxify the poison, he can still do well.”
Shi Ke was about to ask in confusion when Elder Zhong suddenly turned around and gave way to the screen of the television that had been blocked. He pointed at a familiar figure on it and smiled. “Look, doesn’t he look quite energetic now? Who would have thought that when he was sent to the hospital back then, the heat poison was acting up and he was about to die?”
Shi Ke stared at the expressionless man on the television and suddenly understood what Elder Zhong meant. His eyes widened in disbelief.
It turned out that the child back then was… Yi Zheng!
