Chapter 33: 033: Poisoned
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Having been in society for so many years, Jing Qian’s words were direct enough for him to understand that someone had purposely placed these Henbit next to the orchids.
He had not anticipated that the other party would still try to harm Ah Chuan even when he was already in this state.
Damn it!
“What would happen if they were placed together?”
“They’d produce phosgene.”
Lying on the bed, when Zhan Lichuan heard the word ‘phosgene’, his pupils constricted.
No wonder there were times where he felt breathless and even got pneumonia afterward. It was all because of phosgene.
“Phosgene? What’s that?”
“It’s a highly toxic gas that is ten times more toxic than chloride gas. Phosgene poisoning can cause rapid damage to the respiratory system, and once severe, it can cause damage to the other systems as well. Most who are poisoned will feel breathless, cough, and get dizzy at first; then that would be followed by pneumonia. There may be some severe cases that could lead to pneumothorax. If too much poison gas were to be inhaled, it could directly lead to multiorgan failure.”
The entire room was pindrop silent as she spoke.
Master Zhan’s face was so dark that black ink could be dripping down his chin. He thought about all those times where Ah Chuan had spontaneously contracted pneumonia. It wasn’t because his immune system was bad but that he’d been exposed to phosgene.
All this while, this toxic gas had been circulating inside Ah Chuan’s body, which was already severely damaged to begin with.
“Qianqian, are you saying that Ah Chuan was poisoned? Then… would he be in danger now?” Master Zhan swallowed painfully as he spoke, his voice sounding extremely bitter.
Jing Qian immediately comforted him. “We’ll need to know how long these three have been placed together, though luckily, the third young master’s room has gotten a new ventilation system. Even if the toxic gases were once in here, most of them would be diffused by now. Other than that, there are many orchids and henbits here. Although the osmanthus tree is huge, it’d still require a certain temperature to work. So…”
Everyone listened to her seriously, especially Zhan Lichuan. The way he stared at her could have punctured a hole in her body. Jing Qian immediately realised that she might have said too much.
She changed her tone and said, “Ahem…. It may have harmed him, but it couldn’t be too severe. Since the third young master’s circulation had been tampered with after the accident, we would still need to do a more detailed checkup. I’m not a doctor, so it would be better for grandfather to get someone here to check on the third young master.”
As the woman before him blabbered about not being a doctor, a sharp look appeared in Zhan Lichuan’s eyes.
No longer able to stand the sight of this cunning fox playing around with his grandfather, he asked, “You said that when all these plants are together, it’ll still require a certain temperature.”
Ever since he was paralysed, Zhan Lichuan had lacked interest in everything around him. When he suddenly started talking, Master Zhan, who was sitting next to him, got so excited that he almost stood up.
“En.” Jing Qian nodded.
Just as she was about to continue, Zhan Lichuan spoke again. “20 degrees?”
“I wasn’t aware that the third young master’s knowledge of chemistry was so extensive.”
As Zhan Lichuan looked at the enchanting smile on Jing Qian’s face, a desire to conquer started growing inside him.
Well, of course, he was about to die and he wouldn’t be able to do it physically, so this desire to conquer had turned into a desire to win instead.
The type of desire where he wanted to tear this fox apart to see what she was made of.
“When I was in college, I chose business administration, but I also studied physics and chemistry, which was of the same level.”
