My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 806: The Poisoner

Ye Fan suddenly felt unwell, the signals from his body and his experience all indicating that he had been poisoned.His lounge must have been infiltrated by someone who secretly poisoned him. With today’s technology, colorless and tasteless poisons are ubiquitous, dissolving in water makes them even more undetectable, making prevention exceedingly difficult.

It’s also his fault for being careless, underestimating the internal crisis within the base. If he had arranged for guards in the lounge, there might have been an extra layer of security. Clearly, the person who poisoned him is someone inside the base.

An outsider wouldn’t be able to accomplish this. Just locating Ye Fan’s lounge would be challenging, let alone poisoning him.

All signs indicate there is a mole inside the base, and this mole harbors deep hatred for Ye Fan.

If that weren’t the case, they wouldn’t resort to such malignant poisoning.

With a somber expression, Ye Fan looked at Zhang Lu and Fu Huixia and said in a deep voice, "I’ve been poisoned."

At his words, Zhang Lu and Fu Huixia abruptly stood up, swarming around Ye Fan.

"What? Poisoned? How could he be poisoned?" Fu Huixia sensed the seriousness of the situation and panicked immediately.

"Go to the nearest hospital quickly." Zhang Lu urged urgently, about to drag Ye Fan away.

"No, you two go outside and keep watch, don’t let anyone disturb me." Ye Fan ordered indisputably.

"Ah, what? How can this be? We must hurry to the hospital." Fu Huixia spoke anxiously.

"Listen to him, we’ll go outside and keep watch." Zhang Lu instinctively chose to trust Ye Fan, without hesitation, pulled Fu Huixia outside, leaving Ye Fan alone in the lounge.

She had no extra time to think about anything else; every second of delay made the situation more precarious.

Thus, she had to act according to Ye Fan’s instructions.

Outside the lounge, Fu Huixia said confusedly, "He needs treatment quickly. Leaving him alone inside, what good does it do? Is he waiting to die?"

"Please remain calm, from now on, don’t let even a fly into the lounge." Ye Fan warned with solemnity.

"But..." Fu Huixia had barely started speaking when Zhang Lu interrupted forcefully, "There’s no but, you better act naturally, just ensure your guard duty is done properly, don’t wear a mournful expression."

Fu Huixia wanted to speak up again, but Zhang Lu decisively said, "Stop with the idle talk, trust him. He told us about the poisoning because he trusts you, don’t lose your composure."

Only then did Fu Huixia calm her emotions.

Ye Fan trusted Zhang Lu, that much was certain. Naturally, he also trusted Fu Huixia, the granddaughter of Elder Fu. If he didn’t trust her, he would have already sent Fu Huixia away and only confided in Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu wasn’t idle; to add another layer of security, she temporarily relayed Ye Fan’s order to the recruits for mutual sparring warm-ups, while secretly summoning Shen Tingting and Qian Weiguo to her side.

She originally planned to call Yang Shu as well, but Yang Shu’s special status among the recruits would attract much attention if he suddenly left without reason. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to keep the news contained.

Shen Tingting and Qian Weiguo didn’t ask much, diligently performing their duties.

"But to be poisoned, someone used such unscrupulous means. They must have chosen a lethal poison to kill on contact, let alone drinking it. How can he detoxify on his own, locked inside?" Fu Huixia was filled with doubts.

Regarding whether Ye Fan could detoxify himself, Fu Huixia felt very confused and uncertain.

She wanted to discuss it with Zhang Lu, but one look at Zhang Lu’s expression and she knew there was no opportunity for such a discussion.

.........

Meanwhile, Elder Fu and Xiaolong had already learned about the incident at the base, specifically regarding Dai Zhanpeng’s death. They weren’t aware yet of the poisoning of Ye Fan.

"That scoundrel of the Dai family, what a mess he’s created for us! It’s our failing not handling things well. Mr. Ye showed restraint once, giving us face, but going to cause trouble a second time is seeking death!" Elder Fu exclaimed angrily. "He even dared to threaten Mr. Ye, bringing up Mr. Ye’s identity, utterly deserving of death."

Elder Fu’s greatest worry was if there were any unwise individuals in the organization opposing Mr. Ye. Alas, the thing they most feared did happen. He had exerted every effort to foster a good relationship with Mr. Ye, yet people kept causing trouble, to his extreme frustration.

"From our standpoint, Mr. Ye overstepped, but from Mr. Ye’s perspective, it was an act of restraint. Indeed, we’ve not managed things well enough, subjecting Mr. Ye to constant disruptions and problems. The blame also lies with that ignorant Dai Zhanpeng, who thought he could disregard everything by relying on the Dai family’s background. Truly, he had malicious intentions." Xiaolong grumbled, "Dai Zhanpeng’s death is insignificant, but the key issue is that the relationship between us and Mr. Ye has become somewhat awkward. If not handled properly, how could we ever ask Mr. Ye to be our instructor again in the future?"

"Yes, the thorny issue before us is the Dai family." Elder Fu said with profound insight, "Dai Anping leaked secrets, causing us grave disappointment and pain. Dai Anping’s brother indulged Dai Zhanpeng, providing him with ample skilled subordinates. This led to Dai Zhanpeng’s reckless behavior and to committing unpardonable crimes. It’s truly lamentable."

"Elder Fu." Xiaolong gave him a meaningful look and said seriously, "How we handle this next depends on your decision. The Dai family committed a grave error and must be severely punished, and swiftly. If the Dai family learns of Dai Zhanpeng’s death, Dai Anping may react extremely. Having had one incident of leaking secrets, a second is possible. For safety, we must be vigilant. If Dai Anping acts recklessly, we’re done with Mr. Ye."

This was the toughest choice Elder Fu faced, with no simple solution.

As Elder Fu hesitated slightly, a message from Zhang Lu arrived, "Ye Fan has been poisoned, and there is a mole in the base. Preliminary investigation indicates Dai Zhanpeng had secret ties with Chi Qinyuan, and Dai Zhanpeng concealed Ye Fan’s identity to Chi Qinyuan."

"What?" Elder Fu exclaimed, his brows tightly furrowed, and angrily said, "Dai Zhanpeng, this fool, is truly unsurpassably stupid."

"Another incident?" Xiaolong asked gravely.

"Mr. Ye has been poisoned, and Dai Zhanpeng leaked Mr. Ye’s identity to Chi Qinyuan." Elder Fu said helplessly.

"This?" Xiaolong stopped breathing for a moment, sighing, "This is a major problem."
