Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Adding Insult to Injury

The night was hazy.

The MedBeauty Hospital was enveloped in silence.

The collective poisoning incident that occurred today still had no explanation.

It inevitably caused much unease.

"I heard that the spring behind our mountain drowned someone, this poisoning incident must be the curse of Ghost Spring!"

"Cut it out, the water isn’t even deep enough to wet your ankles, drown who?"

"Exactly, always with superstitious nonsense, I think it was the stroke-stricken aunt in the cafeteria who poisoned everyone."

"You all better not spread rumors, the dean already said that anyone talking nonsense will be fired."

In the nurse’s station, a few nurses huddled together whispering in hushed tones.

After all, such a group incident always spawns various rumors.

Fortunately, the poisoning only affected the south area, which didn’t have too much impact on the entire hospital.

And in the darkness of the night, a car slowly drove into the parking lot.

When the car door opened, out stepped Ning Bingcai and Ning Changfeng.

Looking around to ensure no one was in sight, the two headed straight for the garden at the center of the hospital.

"Chang Feng, wouldn’t it be safer for us to wear masks? What if we get infected by the pollen of the Western Poison Flower?"

Ning Bingcai looked worriedly at Ning Changfeng.

"Don’t worry, the Western Poison Flower only blooms for one hour at dawn, and that’s the only time it releases pollen. As long as we sprinkle this powder into it, it will neutralize the toxins, and everything will go unnoticed."

Ning Changfeng held a porcelain bottle, looking mysterious as he scanned the area.

After confirming there was no one around, he poured the entire contents of the porcelain bottle into the midst of the patch of blue flowers.

"Why go through all this trouble when I’m already the acting CEO? We could simply uproot them."

Ning Bingcai looked disdainfully at the unremarkable flowers.

These were the culprits behind the mass poisoning.

"The Western Poison Flower has a particularly strong reproductive capability. To get rid of it, we must kill all the nearby plants. The authorities are investigating now. It would be troublesome if we make big moves and get discovered. First, we eliminate the toxins, and after a while, we can arrange for someone to dig up all the flowerbeds. Only then can we guarantee foolproof results," Ning Changfeng explained while pouring all the liquid from the small porcelain bottle into the soil.

With this powder to suppress the toxins of the Western Poison Flower,

It definitely wouldn’t bloom for at least half a month.

"Your attention to detail is impressive. Now that Ning Mengyao has been removed from the position of acting CEO, she will certainly seek revenge. I’m not worried about that girl, but her assistant, that guy is too good at fighting," Ning Bingcai said with a dark face.

Having been outmaneuvered several times, he was quite wary of Lin Fan.

"No matter how good at fighting he is, can he fight a bullet? When the time comes, I’ll find some tough guys and have him taken out for good."

Ning Changfeng clenched his teeth at the thought of Lin Fan’s face.

His grudge from the last time he was beaten up was far from settled.

"I’m always worried that this guy will cause trouble for us again. Considering everything that has happened in the group, the old man must have gotten the news, but he hasn’t even called. I have no idea what’s going on," Ning Bingcai said, glancing at Ning Changfeng with some concern.

Despite having assumed this position, he was far from relaxed.

"Dad, just relax. The organizational structure has already been altered. You’re now our acting CEO, so just sit back and enjoy. If you’re tired, you can go on a trip. I’m still here looking after the group. You’re not getting any younger; it’s time for you to enjoy your sunset years," Ning Changfeng said, draping an arm around Ning Bingcai’s shoulder.

Between the lines, it was clear that he was suggesting his father retire.

"You little rascal, trying to pull a fast one on me? I’ve just gotten comfortable in this position, my seat hasn’t even warmed up yet. Let me enjoy a bit first. Also, those people who used to work under me have been calling me a prodigal. First thing tomorrow morning, I’m going to fire them all and see who dares to talk behind my back!" Ning Bingcai declared defiantly.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, the Ning Group is now ours to command. You can stay in your position as long as you want, but remember to give me a share once the bank loan comes through."

Ning Changfeng chuckled as he opened the car door.

This acting CEO, Ning Bingcai, was still under his control.

As long as nothing fell into Ning Mengyao’s hands, everything would be manageable.

As father and son left in the car,

the hospital once again returned to silence.

In an unobtrusive corner,

Lin Fan walked out with a cold sneer on his face.

"Since you like to play, I’ll just play along. That ’Western Poison Flower,’ I’ll turn it into the true king of poisons."

Lin Fan took out the medical powder Li Yizhen had prepared for him.

He gently poured it at the base of the Western Poison Flower.

The originally closed flower buds opened within seconds,

and spat out clouds of powder towards the sky.

It was a type of neurotoxin, those who smelt it would have a severe gastrointestinal reaction,

as if they had been poisoned.

Now, with Lin Fan’s concoction introduced,

the Western Poison Flower, which should have remained closed for half a month, was desperately releasing pollen.

The breeze carried it into the vast hospital.

After setting everything up, Lin Fan picked a few seeds.

Then he silently slipped away.

All the good drama would have to wait until tomorrow morning to unfold.

So next, all he had to do was quietly wait.

"Ding Ling Ling..."

Just as Lin Fan had left and was preparing to go home,

Yang Linglong’s call came through.

"Hello... where are you?"

Yang Linglong, her tongue not working quite right, asked with effort.

"I’ve just finished some business. Are you done over there?"

Lin Fan felt, through the receiver, as if Ning Mengyao’s voice could be heard.

She was mumbling something incoherently.

"I... both of us... drank too much... you... hurry up and come pick us up..."

Yang Linglong, her head heavy with drink, used the last of her clarity to speak before

leaning back and repeatedly yawning.

Ning Mengyao, lying across the table, was even more utterly drunk.

Two such gorgeous women completely inebriated.

The happiest of all were a few men at the neighboring table.

"Tonight’s going to be a good haul..."

"If we could get both these chicks in bed, that would be a true blessing for everyone..."

"Guys, we’ve got to share the wealth, take turns playing."

As Ning Mengyao picked up another bottle of foreign alcohol and downed it, the men laughed delightedly.

One of them could not restrain himself any longer and walked over.

His greedy eyes seemingly piercing through Ning Mengyao’s straps, craving a glimpse of the snow-white beneath.

"Beauty, you’ve had too much to drink; let me take you home."

"Get lost... disgusting man... not one of you is any good... not helping me... but harming me... GET LOST..."

Unexpectedly, Ning Mengyao smashed the wine bottle on the ground.

She glared furiously at the men.

"Beauty, don’t be so agitated. Just because other men aren’t good doesn’t mean we aren’t. Tonight, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable, let you know just how good men can be."

Ning Mengyao, acting drunk and crazy, did not scare the men off.

Instead, their gazes grew even more covetous.

A girl hurt by love was more amusing than other girls.

Especially her struggle—it was an endless temptation.
