Chapter 1183

At this moment, Wang Dongxue, hearing Sun Wenbin's words, felt extremely anxious in her heart and hurriedly asked: "Captain Sun, based on your experience, is it more likely that my father accidentally came into contact with this highly toxic substance, or that he was secretly poisoned by someone?"

"Hard to say." Sun Wenbin explained seriously: "The situation and clues we currently have are indeed still too limited; basically, there are not many useful clues that can help us determine the direction."

After saying that, he then asked: "By the way, Miss Wang, can your father's current condition withstand questioning? If we ask him directly, we might get more useful clues."

Wang Dongxue shook her head and sighed: "My father has been in a deep coma these past two days..."

Sun Wenbin hesitated for a moment, clicked his tongue, and said: "Tsk... how about this!"

"Since you just said that your father hardly went out during the period before his illness, I infer that he is more likely to have been poisoned at home!"

"However, it is very likely through food and drink."

"If it's convenient for you, could we come to your home to collect some clues? If we can find toxic substances in your home, then we can continue to trace the source upward!"

"After our professional criminal investigation personnel come to your home for investigation, we might find something more valuable."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dongxue almost without hesitation said: "No problem! Anytime is fine; let me know when you're more convenient."

Sun Wenbin immediately said: "The situation is urgent; if possible, let's go now!"

Wang Dongxue hurriedly said: "No problem! Then I'll take you all there now."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Director Chen, with a pleading expression, and said: "Director Chen, my mother's emotions have been very tense these past few days; please don't tell her about this matter."

Director Chen immediately nodded and said: "No problem, Mr. Wang; rest assured, I will strictly keep this confidential from your mother."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen!"

Wang Dongxue thanked Director Chen, then turned to look at Sun Wenbin and said: "Captain Sun, then I'll take you all to my home now?"

"Good." Sun Wenbin nodded and said: "No delay; let's go now!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Wang Dongxue led several police officers and several technical personnel from the criminal investigation department to her own small villa.

Wang Dongxue's family is relatively affluent; her parents have high incomes, and her own income is also not low, so the family owns a villa in Jin Ling of over three hundred square meters, three stories with a courtyard.

The villa's decoration style is very exquisite Chinese-style; the furniture and appliances in the home are all top-notch, showing at a glance that this family pursues a high quality of life.

The police officers very professionally put on shoe covers and gloves, and used various professional instruments to conduct careful technical detection throughout the entire home.

At this moment, Wang Dongxue's mind was entirely occupied by her father's poisoning incident; because this matter was too significant, her brain had unconsciously pushed Ye Chen's banquet to the back of her mind.

Now, she only wants to find out why her father was poisoned—whether it was an accident or someone maliciously poisoning him!

……

Meanwhile, at Qin Gang's home at this very moment.

Dinner time had arrived; Wang Dongxue had not yet come, so Qin Gang went to Ye Chen's side and asked in a low voice: "Master Ye, Vice President Wang Dongxue hasn't arrived yet; do you think we should start now or wait a bit longer for her?"

Ye Chen thought: Wang Dongxue not coming must mean she has something to attend to; if I call her now, even if my intention isn't to urge her, she would certainly perceive it as some urging.

And as her boss, if I call her, it would definitely put some pressure on her; if it affects her handling of urgent matters, that would be inappropriate.

So he said to Qin Gang: "It's fine; let's start first."

Anyway, for Ye Chen, organizing this banquet is secondary; giving everyone a gift is the main point.

If Wang Dongxue has something to do tonight and can't come, I don't need to urge her; when there's a chance, I'll privately give her the pill.

Upon hearing this, Qin Gang hurriedly said to everyone: "Come on, come on, trouble everyone to the restaurant; our banquet tonight will begin now."

Afterwards, everyone followed Qin Gang to the restaurant; Qin's chef had already placed sixteen cold dishes on the large dining table.

Old Master Song laughed and said: "Qin Zong, just the cold dishes are sixteen; this is really too extravagant, isn't it?"

Qin Gang panicked and said: "How could it be, Old Master Song? You are all honored guests of Qin Mou, and today the host is not really me, but Master Ye, so the banquet must be held to the highest standard!"

Old Master Song nodded and smiled: "Then thank you, Qin Zong and Master Ye, for your generous hospitality!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Old Master Song, no need to be so polite; please hurry and take your seats!"

Everyone then sat down; Qin Gang immediately had someone bring out several bottles of vintage Maotai liquor.

After everyone had poured a cup of wine, Ye Chen raised his own wine cup, very seriously said: "Thank you all for honoring us today, and thank Qin Zong for helping arrange everything; I will first toast everyone with a cup!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their wine cups and stood up; Old Master Shi Tianqi hurriedly said: "Master Ye! Everyone present here has benefited from your kindness; you and we, why must we be so polite?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Good! Let's not waste words on politeness; everyone, let's drink this cup together!"

Everyone at the table said in unison: "Bottoms up!"

Afterwards, Ye Chen poured himself another full cup of wine and said: "During the New Year, everyone really spent too much; to be honest, I feel a bit uneasy in my heart."

Saying that, Ye Chen added: "But I won't say more polite words; so from now on, I hope everyone won't be polite with me either."

Everyone nodded in agreement; some people's hearts began to stir with excitement.

Unlike Wang Dongxue, they have all received Ye Chen's medicine before, and during the New Year, they went together to Ye Chen's home to pay New Year's respects; at that time, Ye Chen said he wanted Qin Gang to prepare some things, so everyone understood that Ye Chen was preparing to refine some pills as gifts.

But Wang Dongxue had never received any pills from Ye Chen, and during the New Year, she did not go to Ye Chen's home together with them, so she had absolutely no idea what Ye Chen's purpose was in hosting today's gathering.

If she knew that Ye Chen would today take out the Panacea Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pill to give to everyone, she would certainly not miss this opportunity.

Because obtaining just one pill of the Panacea Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pill could completely cure her father's illness.

At this moment, Ye Chen temporarily left his seat, went to the car to take the medicine he had prepared, the pill intended for Wang Dongxue, which he put into his pocket.

Afterwards, he carried these medicines back to the dining table, took out the boxes containing the medicines one by one, and said seriously: "Everyone, these are the Panacea Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pills I recently had Qin Zong prepare the materials for and refine; this medicine cannot be said to grant immortality, but it can at least cure all diseases and treat serious injuries; I hope everyone will keep them well and take them at critical moments."

Seeing Ye Chen take out the medicines, everyone felt both happy and moved.

At this moment, Hong Wu, without saying another word, stood up, walked around the chair, knelt down on both knees with sincere devotion, and said excitedly: "Hong Wu, thank Master Ye for bestowing medicine!"

Seeing this, everyone without exception stood up, went to Ye Chen's front, knelt down, and said in unison: "Thank Master Ye for bestowing medicine!"
