CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"Your dad loves tea, right? A few days ago, someone visited him and brought him some good tea. I thought I'd brew him some today, but he only drank it for a short while before he turned into this."

With tears welling in her eyes, Zhong's mother choked back sobs as she recounted what had happened.

"Could it be that someone tampered with the tea?"

After learning what had happened, Gao Qilin concluded that it was not a problem with the tea leaves.

Do you think someone might try to sabotage my dad?

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking about this, Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing next to him, also had an idea and shared her thoughts.

"That's hard to say, but now is not the time to think about those things. Let's get your dad to the hospital first."

After saying this, Gao Qilin stepped forward, picked up Old Zhong, and carried him downstairs. Seeing Zhong Xiaoai still standing to the side, he said:

"Quickly call the hospital. I can't exactly carry him all the way there, can I?"

Zhong Xiaoai then realized what was happening and quickly called the hospital.

The ambulance arrived shortly afterward and took him to the hospital, where the group waited anxiously outside the emergency room.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong was extremely anxious. Every time she passed a doctor, she would go up to ask about the situation, but the doctors would not say anything. This made her even more uncertain. Leaning against the wall, she said helplessly:

"Could something really have happened to him? This family depends on him to keep it going. If something happens to him, won't this family be finished?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, Uncle will be absolutely fine. The doctors aren't telling you because they don't know."

Upon seeing Zhong's mother like this, Gao Qilin immediately stepped forward to comfort her.

But just as he finished speaking, a doctor rushed out of the emergency room and shouted loudly outside:

"Who is Mr. Zhong's family member? Come over and sign here."

Upon hearing this, Zhong's mother rushed over immediately. Before the doctor could react, she asked first:

"How is he doing now? Is he in any danger?"

"He just has simple food poisoning and is not seriously ill. We have already performed gastric lavage on him. He can leave after a period of observation in the hospital, so please sign here."

After saying that, the doctor handed the medical bill to Zhong's mother again.

After learning that Mr. Zhong had only suffered from simple food poisoning, Mr. Zhong's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I go in and see him?"

After signing the document, Zhong's mother asked questions again.

"You can't go into the emergency room, but he'll be transferred to a regular ward soon, then you can see him."

Seeing that Zhong's mother had already signed the papers, the doctor's attitude became much colder, and he left immediately after saying those words.

Seeing that Elder Zhong was alright, Gao Qilin felt much relieved and focused all his attention on the matter of Elder Zhong fainting.

"Auntie, I just heard the doctor say that Old Zhong fainted because of food poisoning. Do you know what he ate today?"

“He didn’t eat much, just some home-cooked food. And I ate the same thing as him. If there’s something wrong with today’s food, I should be in trouble too.”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong looked very puzzled; she didn't understand how the food poisoning had occurred.

Upon hearing what Zhong's mother said, Gao Qilin realized that the problem lay with the tea and decided to investigate it thoroughly.

"Since Elder Zhong is alright, we'll be leaving now. Xiao Ai and I still have some things to take care of."

After saying that, he took Zhong Xiaoai and left the hospital.

Gao Qilin's words left Zhong Xiaoai completely confused, so after they went outside, she asked him directly:

.... ......... ...

"We still have things to deal with? What things? I didn't know that."

"Don't you think your father's food poisoning is very strange? So I think the problem lies with the tea he drank today."

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai did not understand what he meant, Gao Qilin spoke directly.

“I also think the problem lies with the tea leaves. My mom probably hasn’t thrown them away yet. Let’s go back and check on them.”

Zhong Xiaoai understood his intention, and the two immediately headed home. After searching for a while, they found the pot of tea that had gone cold in a corner.

Opening the lid reveals that the tea inside still has a good color and a rich aroma, demonstrating the high quality of the tea.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at the pot of tea in her hand from all angles, unable to find a starting point, so she asked:

"So what do we do next? We can't just drink it ourselves to see if there's any poison in the tea, can we?"

"Of course, we'll have it tested by a professional organization. Just because we can't tell doesn't mean others can't."

After saying this, Gao Qilin took out some tea leaves and some tea water, put them in his pocket, and took them to the hospital for a checkup.

Chapter 362 The Tea Really Had a Problem

After waiting for a while, the person in charge of the inspection came out with the report.

He glanced at the numbers on the screen, feigning surprise, and asked:

Where did you buy this tea from?

"This tea was a gift from someone, but I don't know exactly where it came from."

"The person who gave you this tea is really something, buying this kind of tea as a gift. Let me tell you, this tea can't be used to brew water. It has too much nitrosamine content. Just a small sip could be the death of you."

After learning that it was a gift from a friend, the other party didn't say anything more and, after offering a few words of advice, went back to their work.

"493"

"Among the officials who have been associating with your father recently, have any had conflicts with him?"

Upon learning the results, Gao Qilin immediately questioned Zhong Xiaoai, hoping to obtain further clues.

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhong Xiaoai fell into deep thought, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, she shook her head.

"I don't think there's anyone who has a grudge against my father. He's a very good person and rarely offends anyone. Who would have a grudge against him?"

“If it weren’t for a holiday, who would be so cruel to your father? Think about it carefully. This matter concerns your father’s life and safety, so we can’t be careless.”

Zhong Xiaoai knew these things without Gao Qilin having to say them, but she couldn't recall who Old Master Zhong had offended before.

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai remained silent, Gao Qilin knew he wouldn't get anything out of her, so he gave up and started thinking of other ways.

“I remember a few days ago when my father had his birthday, a lot of people came to celebrate. Among them were a few people I had never seen before. Do you think they might be the ones who attacked my father?”

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking of a solution, Zhong Xiaoai suddenly spoke up.

"There were a few unfamiliar faces? That shouldn't be the case. I remember that Mr. Zhong is very cautious and usually doesn't associate with strangers. Do you remember what the people who came that day were called?"

Gao Qilin immediately noticed the suspicious points and began to ask further questions.

“I can’t possibly remember their names, but my father knew how to repay favors, so he wrote down everyone who came that day in a notebook.”

At this point, Zhong Xiaoai seemed to have thought of something, and immediately took Gao Qilin back home. After searching for a while, they finally found a dusty notebook in a corner.

When you open it, you'll find a record of all the people who had dealings with Mr. Zhong.

Zhong Xiaoai recognized the people on the first few pages, but she had never even heard of the people on the later pages, let alone recognized them.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those strangers who came to my house that day were them, but all we know is their names and what use they are."

At this moment, Gao Qilin also realized that point and fell into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.

Just as Zhong Xiaoai thought this method wouldn't work and was about to give up, Gao Qilin spoke up again:

"Write down all those names, then show them to your mother and see if she can recognize who sent the tea."

"If I can't even remember, do you think my mom can?"

Seeing that Gao Qilin was placing his hopes on his mother, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but complain.

However, after saying that, she did as Gao Qilin said.

After all, she has no one else she can trust besides Gao Qilin.

After memorizing all the names, they went directly to the hospital to find Zhong's mother...

"You arrived right after your father woke up. What a coincidence!"

Upon seeing Zhong Xiaoai approach, Zhong's mother immediately pulled her aside.

Suddenly, she remembered something, hurriedly pushed Gao Qilin over, and said to Old Zhong:

"He's the one who carried you downstairs that day. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know how we would have gotten you down there."

Upon learning that Gao Qilin had carried him downstairs, Old Zhong showed great gratitude and said to Gao Qilin:

"You saved my life, so if you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely help you sort it out."

"No need for that. I'll be happy as long as you take good care of yourself. Actually, we came here to ask Auntie some questions, but now that you're awake, I think it's more convenient to ask you."

Gao Qilin didn't say much, but directly stated his purpose.

"Just tell me what you want to ask, and I'll tell you anything I know."

When Gao Qilin came to ask him something, Zhong 1.9 immediately became curious.

At this moment, Gao Qilin immediately searched his pockets and soon pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. He placed it in front of Elder Zhong and continued to ask:

"You should recognize all the names on this paper, right? Do you know who sent you the tea that day?"
