Chapter 397: Sudden Heat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Shi Man came out of Yi Ming’s place, it was already close to noon.

She did not appear in school for the entire day. Su Tang and Bai Xue were already anxious. Later, after class, they happened to hear their classmates discussing two car accidents. Worried that something had really happened to her, they hurriedly called Shi Man as soon as school ended in the afternoon.

Shi Man reported to them that she was safe. After instructing them to be careful in school, she received a call from Sean.

“Boss, we checked the owner information of all the cars. There were no suspicious people. They were all ordinary office workers. At that time, they happened to be behind President Yi’s car. They should be just for work.” “Impossible.” Shi Man frowned and looked at the surveillance video again. After pointing out a few suspicious points, Sean refuted them all.

Shi Man frowned and held her cell phone without saying anything.

The door on Sean’s side seemed to have been opened and closed again. Right on the heels of that, Sean’s angry scolding could be heard. “Where did you go this morning? Why can’t I see you? Were you secretly watching Third Young Master’s television drama again?”

Just as he finished scolding, Lin Si’s voice came from the receiver. It seemed to be a little far away, and his voice was muffled. “I went out for a walk. That drama won’t be updated until eight tonight. Brother Sean, did something happen? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Sean pushed his hand away irritably and said impatiently, “Go and continue training with them. Don’t run around such that we can’t find you.”

“Oh.” Lin Si pouted. When he happened to see the words “Boss” written on Sean’s lit screen, he immediately perked up and shouted, “Boss, so it’s you. Is there another mission?”

Shi Man rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and said helplessly, “Just listen to your Brother Sean’s arrangements. Continue investigating on your side and inform me immediately if there are any clues.”

“Yes, Boss,” Sean agreed and was about to hang up.

Shi Man suddenly thought of something and asked, “Does Lin Si like to watch the television drama my brother starred in?”

“Ah? Oh! That’s right!” Sean was stunned for a moment as if he did not expect his boss to care about such a small matter. He replied with a smile, “I realized that this kid is secretly chasing after celebrities. He likes the female lead inside… Oh!”

Before Sean could finish speaking, Lin Si covered his mouth. The rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

Shi Man had no time to care about such a small matter. Just now, a thought flashed across her mind, but after being joked about by the two of them, she forgot what to say. She simply ignored it and hung up after giving a few instructions.

She called for a car to drive her back to the hospital. The surgery had just ended, but the outcome was not optimistic.

There was still poison in Yi Zheng’s body, to begin with. Although there shouldn’t be much of a problem, the heavy bleeding triggered the poison in Yi Zheng’s body and actually caused a high fever. If he didn’t cool down as soon as possible, his life would probably be in danger.

However, the problem was that there was no medicine to treat this poison at the moment, and there were no records of this poison in medicine. Therefore, the doctor only knew that there was something wrong with his body, but he did not know the real cause of the illness. He did not dare to use any treatment on Yi Zheng rashly.

Lu Xiang’s heart ached as she cried at the side. She leaned into Yi Long’s arms and cried silently.

Her son was originally smart and capable. Unexpectedly, a car accident made him lie on the hospital bed. Lu Xiang felt like her heart was about to break when she saw all kinds of instruments being used on him.

If Yi Zheng could not hold on this time, she would lose the hope of continuing to live.

Shi Man clenched her fists in front of the bed in self-reproach. Only she knew what Yi Zheng’s illness was.

She originally had a chance to completely detoxify him, but for her own selfish desires, she added another layer of poison to him, causing him to still be on the verge of danger.

Facing Yi Long and Lu Xiang’s worried gazes, Shi Man gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say, “I have a way. I can try to lower his temperature.”

The doctor turned to look at her and couldn’t help but remind her, “What can you do? Young lady, the patient’s high fever is different from ordinary fever. I’m afraid ordinary physical methods to lower the temperature won’t work.”

“I know. I have a way. Go out first. 1’11 call you in later.” Shi Man’s expression was dark, and her eyes were locked on Yi Zheng.

The doctors exchanged glances and saw the disapproval in each other’s eyes. In the end, they shifted their gazes to Yi Long and her husband and handed the decision to Yi Zheng’s biological parents.

Lu Xiang looked at Shi Man, who had a straight face. After hesitating for a while, she finally took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright, Manman, I believe you. We’ll wait for you outside. Call me if anything happens.”

Hearing Lu Xiang’s affirmative answer, Shi Man heaved a sigh of relief and said calmly, “Alright, Auntie, leave this to me.”

After they left, only Shi Man and Yi Zheng were left in the ward. She sat by the bed and reached out to gently stroke his sweating forehead. Her eyes were intoxicated. “I’ll treat you now and apologize to you..”
