Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 514: Chapter 507: Who Is the Culprit

Just as Sisi walked out of the hospital, she saw Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi, who had driven to pick her up. Sisi ran towards them, tears falling once again.

"Brother, Brother Xinhua, it’s cocaine, it’s actually cocaine."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi’s faces changed dramatically. They quickly looked up at Sisi, who shook her head slightly to indicate she was alright. Only then did they feel relieved.

Tian Xinhua got out of the car and sat in the police car with Sisi, while He Chengsi drove the other teachers home. The assistant to Principal Gu and the family of Liu Tielan remained at the hospital.

Once Sisi got into the police car, she leaned weakly against the seat. Tian Xinhua took her into his arms and continuously patted her back. Feeling the warmth from Tian Xinhua’s embrace, Sisi finally felt a bit more at ease, and the chill in her heart lessened considerably.

Granny Zhao and the Old Man were also anxiously waiting at home, as Sisi’s phone call in the afternoon had been mumbled and vague, leaving them clueless as to what had actually happened, prompting them to send Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi to check on things.

Seeing Sisi return safely, their worries subsided. Granny Zhao hastily went to the kitchen to cook; with so many people over, the few dishes prepared were not enough.

After Sisi took her shower, Duan Hongjun and the others had started to eat. Granny Zhao was still busy cooking in the kitchen, while little Du Du was happily playing alone on the traditional heated bed.

Seeing her adorable son, Sisi’s heart warmed up. She took the little boy to the next room to breastfeed him. Having not had his mother’s milk all day, even though he had just eaten an egg custard, he ate voraciously, his little stomach seeming bottomless.

After feeding her beloved son, Sisi patted his back, and before long, he let out a loud burp and giggled contently. Sisi kissed her son several times, feeling that no amount of kisses could suffice. Remembering that Du Du almost lost his mother that afternoon, her heart grew cold again.

Granny Zhao finished cooking the dishes and served them. Sisi placed Du Du back on the bed to play by himself and then sat down next to Tian Xinhua. She first drank a bowl of hot mutton soup, which warmed her entire body.

After the meal, Duan Hongjun had a young officer next to him take out paper and a pen to make a record, while Sisi recounted her experience in the office that afternoon.

"My class today was the first in the afternoon. After class, I went back to my office, and the first thing I did was pick up my tea cup to drink water. But after a sip, I felt the taste was off—bitter—so I poured out the tea and brewed a fresh cup. Then, I stayed in the office to mark homework. Next, it was the end of the second period, and Mr. Liu and Teacher Shen came back to the office and drank water. Mr. Liu had a convulsion like an epileptic after finishing a cupful of water, and his pupils started to dilate. Seeing something was wrong, I promptly mixed soapy water and forced her to drink it, pouring down three basins of soapy water."

Zeng Hongbo added from the side, "Thanks to Sisi’s timely action to induce vomiting, otherwise, Mr. Liu might not have waited for us to arrive before dying from respiratory paralysis."

Everyone had not expected the situation to be so grave, all drawing a breath of cold air, except for Duan Hongjun and the two officers who remained unfazed, seemingly accustomed to such incidents.

Tian Xinhua clenched his fists tightly, thinking of the bitter taste Sisi had mentioned earlier, deducing that the cup of tea must have also been laced with drugs. Fortunately, Sisi had a sensitive sense of taste and detected it, otherwise...

Tian Xinhua felt a surge of coldness in his heart, unconsciously squeezing Sisi’s hand tighter and exchanging a glance with He Chengsi. Both had made up their minds—Jin Wen must be eliminated, they couldn’t leave such a dangerous person to threaten Ah Nan.

Zeng Hongbo further supplemented, "Cocaine is a white powder that is bitter-tasting and easily dissolves in water."

Of course, Duan Hongjun also noticed Sisi’s previous mention of the bitter tea and proceeded to ask her a few more questions, which Sisi answered in detail.

Afterward, Duan Hongjun asked a few more questions and then took his two subordinates and left. Zeng Hongbo also followed them, taking the opportunity to hitch a ride.

At night, Sisi lay in Tian Xinhua’s arms, holding him tightly, and said with lingering fear, "Brother Xin Hua, there was something added to my glass of water too. I felt something was off and poured half of my tea into Shen Baozhu’s cup, but I never expected it to be cocaine. I also couldn’t understand why Shen Baozhu would want to harm Liu Tielan?"

Tian Xinhua kissed Sisi’s forehead continuously to soothe her. "It’s okay, Ah Nan, don’t be afraid. Shen Baozhu got what she deserved, and Liu Tielan will recover as well."

"Liu Tielan is in this situation because of me. If Jin Wen hadn’t wanted to target me, Shen Baozhu wouldn’t have come here, and none of this would have happened. Brother Xin Hua, Dr. Zeng said that even if Tielan recovers, she won’t be able to play sports like before. She loves playing basketball so much; this must be so hard for her!"

Sisi thought about how Liu Tielan, such a bright and enthusiastic girl, would have to become like Lin Meimei in the future, and how Tielan’s parents and siblings must be heartbroken. She was consumed by guilt.

Exhausted from crying, Sisi fell asleep in Tian Xinhua’s arms, her brows pinched together, and tears still visible on her face. Tian Xinhua felt an immense heartache as he watched her and grew even more determined to remove Jin Wen from their lives. He decided to discuss with He Chengsi a proper plan of action.

The next day, Sisi went to the hospital early in the morning. Zeng Hongbo was there too. After examining Liu Tielan, he showed a joyful look and happily said to Sisi, "Good news, this patient has a very strong constitution and is no longer in danger. It seems she will recover better than I expected."

Sisi was delighted too. She knew that Liu Tielan had escaped danger so quickly probably because of the Qiong Wine she had fed her the day before. She hadn’t expected her Qiong Wine to counteract the cocaine poison—it truly was an elixir!

Sisi couldn’t help but quietly thank God for giving her such a wonderful thing, which allowed her to make amends for many regrets!

Upon learning that their daughter was no longer in danger, Liu Tielan’s parents wept with joy, endlessly thanking the doctors and nurses, expressing their gratitude to everyone.

After Liu Tielan was transferred to a regular ward, Sisi quietly fed her some more Qiong Wine. As for the next-door Shen Baozhu, she could drop dead for all Sisi cared!

Duan Hongjun had taken the water cups of Liu Tielan and Shen Baozhu for testing. Indeed, the residual water contained a high concentration of cocaine, and the concentration in Liu Tielan’s cup was two to three times that of Shen Baozhu’s, which is why Liu Tielan’s condition was more serious.

In other words, the perpetrator harbored deeper grudges against Liu Tielan, wanting to put her to death!

And regarding Shen Baozhu, the perpetrator probably just wanted to teach her a lesson, without the intention of killing her.

As for the water where Sisi collapsed in the flower bed, Duan Hongjun also took soil samples for testing, which turned out to have a high concentration of cocaine, similar to Liu Tielan’s.

Knowing this result, Duan Hongjun couldn’t help but feel relieved for Sisi. If she had drunk it, she would have ended up like Liu Tielan!

Duan Hongjun checked all the tea cups in the office, and it turned out that only Sisi, Liu Tielan, and Shen Baozhu had been drugged, while the others were unaffected.

So, the perpetrator was targeting the three of them, Sisi and the others.

In other words, the perpetrator held grudges against the three of them.
