Chapter 463 Rest

After hearing Li Baiyang's words, the expressions on Minister Guo and Xu Changping's faces froze, and both fell into deep thought.

The whole room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the ticking of the wall clock, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

After a long time, Xu Changping finally broke the suffocating silence. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Minister, I suspect that the person who poisoned the person probably didn't know that Comrade Li Boyang's mission this time was to investigate Comrade Guo Baihui's affairs."

After saying this, he sighed softly, as if there was an extremely heavy stone pressing on his heart.

So many young girls have been drugged and then blatantly "married off" by human traffickers as daughters. It's disheartening to think about it.

After hearing what Xu Changping said, Minister Guo looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Changping first turned his head to look at Li Baiyang, then turned to Guo Bu and explained in an orderly manner:

"Comrade Guo's mental state is extremely fragile now, and any disturbance could lead to serious consequences.

Especially things like neurotoxins, once exposed to them, the body will definitely react quickly and strongly.

If those people clearly understood that the purpose of Comrade Li Baiyang's trip was to investigate Comrade Guo Baihui's affairs, they would certainly not dare to use such poisons against Comrade Li Baiyang easily.

After all, doing so would undoubtedly expose one's own shortcomings and reveal one's own existence."

Minister Guo listened to Xu Changping's analysis and nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then frowned again, as if he suddenly remembered something important, and asked hurriedly:

"Just now, we were so busy discussing the origin of the poison and the motives of the person behind it that we forgot about the main business. I haven't asked you yet whether Xiaohui needs an antidote."

Hearing Minister Guo's words, Li Baiyang raised his head instantly and looked at him excitedly: "Xiao Hui was poisoned again? Or was it me who brought her back?"

"Listen to Xiao Xu first, and you can talk later." Minister Guo waved at him, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Changping.

Xu Changping hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "Minister, please rest assured. Comrade Guo is fine. She just accidentally smelled some poison gas, and the amount she inhaled was not large. When I took her pulse just now, the toxins in her body were all dissipated. No further detoxification treatment is needed."

Minister Guo is really busy. This morning, one of his men was poisoned, a huge amount of steel appeared at the scrap yard, and later there was a case of drugging and abducting a young girl. It's not easy for him to still remember his own daughter at this moment.

"That's good." Minister Guo and Li Baiyang both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xu Changping's words.

However, Li Baiyang still pressed on, "How did Sister Xiaohui get poisoned? Did I accidentally bring it to her when I entered the house?"

Seeing that he was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and would not give up until he achieved his goal, Xu Changping had no choice but to tell him all his guesses:

"It is possible that the nanny accidentally touched the brown paper that wrapped the tea leaves, and then when she was taking care of Comrade Guo, she unknowingly brought the toxin to her."

Hearing this, Li Baiyang couldn't help but look regretful, and muttered to himself in self-blame: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't rushed here so hastily last night, but had cleaned up the house properly, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."

Seeing Li Baiyang blaming himself so deeply, Minister Guo quickly comforted him, "No one could have predicted this. After all, you had no idea that someone had secretly poisoned you. We can only say that those people with ill intentions were too insidious and cunning."

Just as the two were about to start talking again, Xu Changping glanced at his watch and said:

"Minister Guo, why don't you arrange for Comrade Li to rest for a while? The effect of the medicine he is taking is almost starting to take effect. After I finish the medicinal bath treatment for Comrade Guo, it won't be too late for you to continue the discussion."

Just as Xu Changping finished his words, Li Baiyang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly opened his mouth and yawned very loudly and long, and the whole person seemed to fall into a drowsy state in an instant.

Seeing this, Minister Guo glanced at Xu Changping, then waved his hand helplessly, signaling Li Baiyang to go and rest quickly.

After Li Baiyang turned around and walked towards the guest room and gently closed the door, the room suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Xu Changping slowly said, "Minister Guo, to be honest, I have been in a state of constant trouble these past few days, and it has not been peaceful."

Hearing this, Guo Bu couldn't help but frowned and asked hurriedly: "What happened? Do you need me to say hello to your factory director?"

Xu Changping waved his hand and replied, "You don't have to bother to say hello to the factory director. It's just that something that shouldn't be there appeared around me. But after I found it, I handed it over to the relevant department in time."

Guo Bu pondered in his heart, and the first thing that came to his mind was sinister means such as poisoning, but then he remembered Xu Changping's superb medical skills and immediately denied this guess.

Then he asked, "What kind of thing is it that shouldn't appear?"

Xu Changping did not intend to hide anything and spoke the truth bluntly:

"They are items related to capitalists. If they are unfortunately found, even if someone comes forward to protect me, I am afraid that they will have to undergo strict scrutiny for at least several months. By then, I will not be able to give Comrade Guo a medicinal bath to detoxify on time."

"This...how could this happen!" Minister Guo looked at Xu Changping in astonishment.

He originally thought that he was just framed for some minor things and at most would be subject to strict scrutiny and interrogation.

However, after hearing what Xu Changping said, he realized as if awakened from a dream that things were far from that simple. These people not only did not want Xu Changping to treat his daughter, but they might also be planning to take Xu Changping's life.

Thinking of this, even though Minister Guo was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
