Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Shan spent the whole afternoon trembling in fear. The cats had immediately died, but he only felt his body slightly heated up. There was no drastic change, so he was crossing his fingers that he would be alright. When he heard Su Ye’s explanation, he felt his legs tighten and his groin area become a bit chilly. Almost as though he was just hit by an incurable disease.

He shouted out in terror, “How could this be? Why did the cats die?”

Su Ye sighed. “This drug has a dosage of causing a man to have erectile dysfunction but it is enough to make a cat die on the spot. The man would not realize it until he’s trying to perform the next day. It is then that he will notice that he does not have enough strength to do the deed.”

He noticed that Huo Beichen was looking at him while listening to their conversation and subconsciously glanced at him. Qi Shan held onto a certain area at that moment and spoke bitterly. “That… That means I…”

Su Ye then asked, “Did you feel anything abnormal about your body this afternoon?”

“I’m feeling very hot! I keep sweating! Does that mean I will never be a man again? Huhuhuhu!”

“…I’m not sure what reactions the body might have after consuming this drug.”

Qi Shan was about to burst into tears. “Can I be saved?”

Su Ye mulled over the matter and decided to tell him the ugly truth. “The negative effects on the body are irreversible. There will be no use even if you vomit it out. Have you heard of Paraquat?”

How could Qi Shan not have heard of this before?! Once consumed, this chemical herbicide would cause one to slowly die even if he spat it back out. There was no cure for this! Did that mean his little brother would never be able to lift his head ever again? Qi Shan’s legs went weak, and he looked at the ground in despair. His face turned pale, and his whole being filled with hopelessness.

Su Ye spoke up again, “Don’t you worry about that first. I only found this drug in one particular dish which I fed to the cats. Maybe there wasn’t any drug in the dishes that you ate?”

“What do you mean ‘maybe’?! Can you not tell me something more certain?”

Su Ye sighed quietly. “I did not find any traces of the drug in your vomit, so…”

Qi Shan had a flicker of hope. “That means I’ll be fine?”

“There shouldn’t be anything serious. But I can’t be completely sure about it. You only ate a bit of the food. I could not find out if the drug had contaminated your part of the food. Why don’t you check tomorrow morning and see if the effects have taken its toll on you?”

Huo Beichen suddenly realized something while listening to their conversation, and started to rush out. His face suddenly sank. He did not say much when in front of Qi Shan. The drug was undoubtedly aimed at him. Qi Shan was an innocent bystander. His voice turned icy cold. “Is there truly no cure for this poison?”

Su Ye sighed. “No cure.”

Huo Beichen fell silent. After he had hung up on Su Ye, Fei Bai’s call came in. When the incident had first happened, Fei Bai had zipped over from the production company and efficiently solved the mystery.

“It was Ning Ke. I caught her.”

Ning Ke…

Huo Beichen knew that it was her! She seemed reckless and acted as though she was not afraid to do anything serious. Now that she was indeed confirmed to be the one who had planted the poison in his food, it showed that she was quite meticulous after all! Did she come to take revenge because she was angry and embarrassed about her unrequited love?!

Huo Beichen clenched his fists tightly. His ferocious aura oozed out layer by layer. He looked out the window, trying to suppress the raging fire that was burning from within. Fei Bai saw that he did not respond nor give out any orders. He paused for a while before asking, “Kill?”
