Chapter 118 Poison

"Curse?" Mo Lian's eyebrows flickered, and Jin Qian keenly caught his expression.

"Tell me!" Jin Qian stared straight at Mo Lian.

The calm gaze seemed to have a kind of magic that blocked all the lies he wanted to tell.

"They are all rumors." Mo Lian smiled awkwardly, "It's just that there is indeed something wrong with the mine recently."

"I heard that Miss Su graduated from Imperial Capital Medical University and has some knowledge of medicine." Mo Lian smiled, "Several people in our mine have recently developed leg diseases and are currently lying in bed."

"Is it just a leg disease?" Jin Qian thought for a moment and stared at Mo Lian with a smile.

His eyes glanced back and forth between Mo Lian and Li Yi.

The two people did not expect Jin Qian's question to be so clear. He paused and said stiffly, "Miss Su, this..."

"I was arranged by Mr. Gu to deceive me, which is equivalent to deceiving Mr. Gu. You'd better think clearly whether you can bear this responsibility." Jin Qian said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't passed the news of the mineral vein to the imperial capital!"

Jin Qian noticed something strange in their eyes.

The matter of the mineral vein was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Miss Su, we didn't mean to hide it from the Imperial Capital. It's because the situation here is indeed unclear. I wanted to report back after it's been clarified." Mo Lian smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that the person sent by the Gu family would be so difficult to deal with.

But this is also a good thing. This lady has such a keen eye for talent. She might be the one who can solve these problems.

The mine is in a mess right now. Having one more person to help means there is one more possibility of solving the problem.

Thinking about this, Mo Lian was silent for a moment, then he changed his voice and said in a serious tone, "Miss Su, if that's the case, then I will explain the recent situation to you."

"Recently, there have been some unexpected situations at the mine. At first, four people had numb legs and couldn't work. The person in charge of the mine thought they were lying on purpose." Mo Lian said, pulling up some files on his phone, which were some CT scan images.

"But things are getting more and more wrong. More and more people's legs are starting to go numb and they can't get out of bed." Mo Lian handed the phone to Jin Qian. "It's strange, except that their legs can't move, there's nothing wrong with them. There are no wounds or any marks on their legs. But it's like their lower body is paralyzed."

"Have you ever suffered a serious blow before?" Jin Qian asked.

He was ruling out all of these possibilities. Generally speaking, if there was no feeling in the legs, there was something wrong with the spinal cord.

This situation usually occurs due to accidental injury.

But it is impossible for so many people to suffer spinal cord injuries at the same time.

Thinking about this, Jin Qian carefully observed the CT image.

Mo Lian also spoke up, "It's not a serious injury, but working in the mines is physically demanding, so there must be some problems with the waist."

"We suspected this might be the reason, but after a simple checkup, we found that everyone had no problems with their waists. The only problems they had were lumbar disc herniation or lumbar muscle strain." Mo Lian said, helplessly lying down and spreading his hands. "These problems are unlikely to lead to lower limb paralysis."

Indeed, Jin Qian looked at the CT scan and saw that there was no hard organic damage.

"Indeed." Jin Qian returned the phone, "How long has this been going on?"

"It hasn't been long. It's only been about five days now."

Jin Qian said, "It won't take long!"

"But now there are already fifty or sixty people showing symptoms." Mo Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead.

What is scary is the speed of transmission, like an invisible germ, and everyone is at risk of being infected at any time.

There was no reason, no signs, it just happened suddenly.

No one was confused, and the more confused they were, the more rumors spread.

Those who are sick don’t know when or if their legs will heal.

Those who are not sick look at the scenes of others and often worry whether they will be the next.

The whole vein was shrouded in such a worried fear.

People are in panic and normal work at the mine has come to a standstill.

"The current situation is that the work of the mine has been suspended, and some people are always trying to escape." Mo Lian sighed, "They are also afraid. The whole mine is spreading the so-called curse. Many people want to leave to avoid these disasters. The work of the entire mine is in chaos!"

"So you took compulsory measures?" Jin Qian asked back.

I immediately guessed the measures taken by the mine to control the development of the situation. Often in such situations, violent actions will occur.

"We have no choice." Li Yi, who had been driving, spoke up. "The entire mine is in chaos, with people making noise and protesting. Our mine is already interrupted by a vein, and there are more than just our family. There is also the Jin family's mine, which has us sandwiched in the center."

"If we lose our composure, won't it allow others to take advantage of us?" Although Li Yi has been driving, he knows the situation of the entire mine very well.

"Are there any casualties?" Jin Qian asked.

"No one died, but there were a few injured. The injured have been treated by our mine's resident doctors and are not in danger of death at the moment!"

Jin Qian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, no one died.

Things haven't escalated to the point of no return.

"Okay, I understand the situation. If I'm not mistaken, the so-called leg disease this time should be poisoning." Jin Qian spoke and analyzed calmly, but her words made Mo Lian and Li Yi open their eyes wide.

"Poisoned?" Mo Lian asked in surprise, "Are you sure? How could it be poisoned!"

Subconsciously, they all believe that poisoning is a fatal thing and is more terrifying than the so-called infection.

"Yes! I have encountered similar cases." Jin Qian spoke without mentioning Gu Ruixin's name, "She also has a leg disease, but in fact she was infected with a neurotoxin. The toxicity is not strong. It will only cause damage to the leg muscles, and it will be difficult to reconstruct them later."

"Have you ever detoxified this poison before?" Upon hearing this, Mo Lian breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.

"Don't worry, if it is really this kind of poison, I can cure it." Jin Qian affirmed, "But I still have to go to the scene to see and understand whether it is this kind of poison."

"No problem, we'll take you there right away." Mo Lian said excitedly, urging Li Yi on the side, "Drive faster, we'll try to get to the mine as soon as possible."

Chapter 118: Mineral Veins

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Jin Qian had already formed a definite idea in her mind. It was most likely the same poison that Gu Ruixin had used before. From the imperial capital to the northern mine, the poison had crossed the border, but its nature had not changed. It was all related to Dr. El.

Jin Qian knew in her heart that this poison was developed by Dr. El in the laboratory within three years, and there was more than one poison.

The person who asked him to do the research was naturally Jin Wenshan.

During the three years when she was away, Jin Wenshan took control of the laboratory and conducted countless pharmacological studies on poisons. All kinds of poisons, big and small, were tested in the laboratory.

What on earth was he trying to do? Turn the laboratory into a backup arsenal for his attempts to control others.

Jin Wenshan's ambition is too big, so big that he will fight to the death.

Jin Qian narrowed her eyes, leaned back in her seat, and remained silent.

Grandpa, do you also know everything that Jin Wenshan has done? Did you deliberately disappear this time to lure the snake out of its hole?

The Jin family is in such a mess now.

When are you going to stand up and clear the house?

靳家
She has always known about the various dirty things that happen in the infighting among the wealthy families, but she has always been well protected by her grandfather. Her grandfather would never let her get hurt and always defended her, so she only understood about it and has never really witnessed this situation.

The internal strife within the Jin family began to become more and more obvious after Mr. Jin left.

Jin Wenshan's ambition could no longer be hidden.

The car drove for more than ten minutes and finally stopped at the entrance of a dark mine.

Mineral veins, treasures hidden deep in the earth's crust, have been a symbol of human exploration and conquest of nature since ancient times. They breed endless wealth, but also hide countless dangers.

Mineral veins are usually located deep underground and require long and difficult excavations to be discovered. Before entering the mineral veins, miners must first face complex and changing geological conditions. Hard rocks, narrow passages, and steep slopes are all difficulties they must overcome. In the dark, they rely on weak lights and tools in their hands to approach the mineral veins step by step.

Jin Qian took a look and found that the exposed rocks were relatively new. "How long has this vein been mined?"

"This is the latest opening, and it has been open for more than a year." Mo Lian introduced. "Currently, it has been suspended."

Jin Qian pointed at the gate and the dividing line at the entrance and asked, "What's in here?"

"Those who suffer from leg diseases are currently locked up inside because people outside are always worried about some invisible infection, so they are kept inside the mine." Mo Lian explained and led the heroine towards the mine.

He took out the pass hanging on his collar and asked the goalkeeper to open the door.

Jin Qian took a look and was about to follow Mo Lian and Li Yi in when she was suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, who are you?"

The voice came from behind. Jin Qian and her group turned around and saw a burly man with an axe in his hand and a fierce expression on his face.

"Mr. Mo, why did you bring these strangers in? Don't you know that things are complicated in the mine recently?" The man spoke with a strong northern accent and had a rough appearance.

"You, a woman, do you know where this place is? This is not the place you should come." The man said, pointing his finger at Jin Qian, with obvious disdain in his eyes.

When Jin Qian met the man's gaze, her face instantly turned cold.

Mo Lian immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare you! Do you know who this is?"

"This is someone sent by Mr. Gu from the Imperial Capital to help us solve this problem. He is a top student at the Imperial Capital Medical University. You treated him like this. Apologize to me."

"Watch the tone of your voice!" Li Yi also spoke dissatisfiedly.

The two had talked to Jin Qian in the car. Although it was not in depth, they could already see the extraordinaryness of Jin Qian's keen observation and insight, especially the poison that Jin Qian mentioned. If it was really as she said, the crisis of the entire mine could be resolved.

For them, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of the mineral veins.

"Oh, a woman who studied at a medical school, you want to support her? It's not like those people in our mine haven't been to the hospital to see a doctor, and they know the results. I don't care if she was sent by the Gu family or a medical school. Anyway, I'm not from your Gu family, and I don't agree with you letting her in."

The man said this, still refusing to give in.

"Zhang Ke! Watch your mouth. You don't have the final say on this mine now. I say that Miss Su can go in today." Mo Lian was obviously also angered, and immediately stood in front of Jin Qian to protect her.

Jin Qian is already used to the scene of confrontation between the two sides.

Zhang Ye always had the gun on his lower back, ready to take action if Jin Qian was in danger.

Jin Qian patted Mo Lian who was standing in front of her and said slowly, "Zhang Ke, right? Since you can't stand me so much, why not let me in?"

"Let me give it a try. What if I can solve these problems?"

"Why should I believe you?" Zhang Ke frowned, thinking that she was just a woman hiding behind a man, but he didn't expect that she still had such courage.

"You don't have the confidence to refuse, do you?" Jin Qian said, "As you said, the hospital can't treat it, so let me try. This is your last chance."

Jin Qian said with a look of confidence. She grasped the most critical point in Zhang Ke's mind at a glance, "Or, you don't want to save them!"

"Zhang Ke, if you want to save them, you have to listen to me."

The determination that Jin Qian mentioned always has a trustworthy determination in her professional field.

Zhang Ke was moved by Jin Qian's words. Indeed, now he had no way out.

Seeing that he was silent, Jin Qian gave him a look, and Mo Lian immediately opened the door.

Jin Qian raised her leg and stepped in.

"But let me be frank with you. If you don't have the ability, don't blame me for kicking you out." Zhang Ke still spoke unwillingly.

"Don't worry, I will be able to walk there by myself by then." Jin Qian waved her hand backwards.

The mine is humid and it is obvious that it is a newly opened cave. As the excavation goes deeper, the mine environment becomes more complicated. The air is filled with dust and harmful gases. When working, miners usually have to wear masks and gas masks to protect their respiratory organs.

At the same time, the weather, high temperature and high humidity environment also brought them great discomfort. Working here for a long time is also harmful to the body. While working, sweat will continue to seep out of the miners' bodies, and their clothes will be soaked and stick tightly to their bodies, making people feel extremely stuffy.
