Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 512: Chapter 505: Cocaine

Before Shen Baozhu returned to her country, Jin Wen had given her a hollow copper hairpin filled with powdered medicine, instructing her to find an opportunity to administer the powder to Sisi. That would mean the task was complete, and Jin Wen would also return the photographs and negatives to Shen Baozhu.

Shen Baozhu had no idea what the powder was. Although Jin Wen claimed it was just an allergy-inducing substance, which would cause full-body allergic reactions and disfigurement, but not death, Shen Baozhu did not quite believe her.

In the United States, Shen Baozhu often went out with rich young masters, and she vaguely understood what this could be, but she was not entirely sure. Deep down, she felt uneasy.

However, she passed the security check without any issues, so she reassured herself, thinking she had been overly concerned—it must indeed be just allergy powder.

But even if it was not a very serious substance, Shen Baozhu had no intention of administering it herself. As soon as she arrived at Huangyuan Normal College, she seduced Wang Shimin, and with her body, she made him utterly devoted to her.

Then, Shen Baozhu took out the copper hairpin she had been hiding, poured out all the powder inside, and told Wang Shimin it was allergy-inducing powder. She instructed him to seize the moment and slip it into Sisi’s teacup, so that Sisi would suffer an allergic reaction for a while.

Wang Shimin actually didn’t want to do it. Although narrow-minded, he was not very brave either and refused without a second thought.

Shen Baozhu would not easily give up such a perfect scapegoat. After exhausting all her sweet talk and bedchamber antics, she finally convinced him by agreeing to take Wang Shimin with her to the United States.

So, when no one was in the office, Wang Shimin poured the powder into Sisi’s teacup, and while doing so, he couldn’t help but think of Liu Tielan’s recent sarcasm toward him. Thus, he decided to split half of the powder into Liu Tielan’s tea mug as well, relishing the thought of the strong and bulky Liu Tielan being stuck with an ugly face, which felt satisfying.

Thinking of soon flying to a foreign country with his lover and living a glamorous, luxurious life, Wang Shimin felt like he was floating on air. But his beautiful dream lasted only for a day, and now it turned into a nightmare.

Setting aside the terrified Wang Shimin, Sisi followed the ambulance to the hospital, where Dr. Zeng Hongbo and other doctors immediately began rescuing Liu Tielan and Shen Baozhu.

Sisi and the other teachers who came along sat in the corridor waiting, the hospital’s empty hallway was so quiet that Sisi could hear her own breathing and heartbeat.

In this moment, she felt waves of fear, her undershirt on the back soaked with sweat, now sticking to her skin, cold and uncomfortable.

But colder yet was her heart. If her taste had not been made extremely sensitive by the Spiritual Liquid, she would have inevitably drank that glass of water, and the one lying inside being resuscitated would be her, He Sisi.

What were the consequences if they didn’t come back? Sisi didn’t even dare to think about it; the mere thought caused her heart to ache!

Jin Wen, this plague, I swear by today, if I do not perish, your days are numbered!

Sisi had made up her mind to obliterate Jin Wen, but this would take careful planning. She would have to discuss it thoroughly with Tian Xinhua when she got back.

However, Sisi couldn’t understand why Shen Baozhu would poison Liu Tielan as well? Although Liu Tielan also disliked Shen Baozhu, the two had never directly clashed. Liu Tielan hated Wang Shimin the most, not Shen Baozhu.

Wang Shimin?

Sisi then remembered, it seemed Wang Shimin didn’t follow them to the hospital?

With the inseparable bond he shared with Shen Baozhu recently, it didn’t make sense that he wouldn’t come to the hospital when Shen Baozhu was in trouble.

Sisi felt like she had grasped onto something, but it was all very scattered and soon drifted away again, her mind was messy, unable to organize a clear clue.

"Are you saying Mr. Liu and Teacher Shen were poisoned, or are they just sick? If it’s poisoning, why were only the two of them affected? It really doesn’t make sense!"

A male teacher sitting next to Sisi, probably unable to stand the silence here any longer, was the first one to speak out, talking to himself yet as if discussing with other teachers.

Several teachers also felt suffocated by the silence and with someone starting the conversation, they all began to discuss animatedly, each turning into a Sherlock Holmes.

Sisi made a phone call home halfway through to tell the Old Man a bit about the situation, saying she would come home late.

Time ticked by second by second, but the doctors still hadn’t come out. Sisi’s heart also lifted, not knowing the condition of Liu Tielan inside, it was obvious that Liu Tielan had ingested much more of the drug than Shen Baozhu.

Sisi regretted not having the kindness to only give Shen Baozhu half the dosage of the Spiritual Liquid, she should have made Shen Baozhu drink it all.

Two hours later, the emergency treatment finally ended, and Zeng Hongbo came out looking exhausted. Sisi quickly stood up anxiously and walked towards him, nervously watching him.

Zeng Hongbo’s expression was not very good, even very serious, and he said to Sisi: "The two patients have vastly differing degrees of poisoning. One is out of danger and can be transferred to a regular ward for observation, but the other one is in a very serious condition and is still far from being out of danger."

Upon hearing this, Sisi felt a darkness before her eyes, it must be Liu Tielan who’s in danger. She swayed physically, and the teacher next to her quickly supported her, also terrified by Zeng Hongbo’s words.

"Dr. Zeng, tell me the truth, if the one in critical condition can’t be saved, could she die?" Sisi steadied her heart and asked this bitter question.

Zeng Hongbo nodded slightly, and Sisi felt a chill all over, a wave of coldness surged from the bottom of her heart.

Why did it end up like this?

Zeng Hongbo was also not feeling well inside, but he still explained Liu Tielan’s condition: "The patient has ingested a very high amount of poison. If vomiting was not induced immediately, the patient wouldn’t even have had time to make it to the hospital. Although some toxins have been expelled by vomiting, due to the rapid dissemination of these toxins, many have already entered the liver, causing severe damage to the body. Even if the patient escapes danger, there will inevitably be many lasting effects."

Zeng Hongbo felt a lot of sympathy for Liu Tielan inside, knowing at a glance that she was a girl who loved sports. Even if she were lucky enough to survive this time, her body would no longer be suitable for intense physical activities.

Furthermore, he wasn’t sure if he could successfully save the girl this time!

"What kind of poison is this? Why is it so powerful?" Sisi asked angrily.

The other teachers joined in, asking their questions. They all liked Liu Tielan, the straightforward and passionate girl, and seeing her hovering between life and death, they felt terrible and wanted to understand what exactly had hurt Liu Tielan.

Zeng Hongbo had a very strange expression on his face and slowly said a few words: "Cocaine."
