Chapter 210: Chapter 39: The Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

At this moment, she spoke softly again.

"Apart from some sweet potato chips, we only had boiled corn."

Sweet potato chips, Jiang Lai’s homemade sweet potato chips.

[Could it be because the sweet potato chips weren’t clean?]

[These things easily get moldy. Adults might be okay, but kids with weaker stomachs can easily have issues.]

[Sigh, Jiang Lai meant well but messed things up.]

[It’s not yet confirmed what caused it, other kids are fine.]

[Am I the only one who dislikes Jiang Lai? She’s everywhere, always hogging the limelight.]

[It’s been raining in the village, sweet potato chips are hard to store and might have gotten moldy.]

Jiang Lai was quickly called over because the clinic doctor examined him and determined it was mild food poisoning. He needed to be sent to the county hospital for stomach pumping. Only after that could they determine what caused it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The room was crowded with people. As soon as Jiang Lai appeared, Mo Wanwan rushed to her and asked.

"There’s a problem with your sweet potato chips, Hengheng got food poisoning!"

Jiang Lai already knew the general situation from Little Buding’s mouth. The child definitely ate something bad, but Jiang Lai was certain it wasn’t related to her sweet potato chips.

If it was indigestion due to overeating sweet potato chips, that’s one thing, but this was clearly food poisoning, meaning something unclean was eaten. Jiang Lai definitely couldn’t take the blame.

Everyone was looking at her, Jiang Lai spoke calmly.

"Now is not the time to dwell on this. Let’s get to the hospital first."

The car was ready, Mo Wanwan and Ling Han got in first, and since Jiang Lai was involved, she joined them. Yangyang insisted on going too, so Zhou Yiqing took him along.

At the hospital, Hengheng was quickly taken into emergency for stomach pumping. The young child was scared and crying when he went in, Mo Wanwan was heartbroken, tears flowing. The live stream camera was turned off when they got in the car, and Mo Wanwan seemed to have relaxed a bit, leaning on Ling Han’s shoulder and crying continuously.

"It’s all my fault, for not taking care of Hengheng, letting him eat anything."

Ling Han sighed.

"It’s not your fault; don’t blame yourself so much."

Mo Wanwan’s crying was sincere, and Ling Han, worried about Hengheng inside and feeling sorry for the crying Mo Wanwan, showed some dissatisfaction and coldness towards Jiang Lai.

At this moment, a doctor came over to inquire about the situation.

"What did the child eat?"

Mo Wanwan wiped her tears, glancing at Jiang Lai.

"Sweet potato chips, and the usual dinner."

"Anything else?"

"No, nothing else."

"Hmm, we’ve already conducted tests on the patient’s vomit, feces, and blood, and the results will be out tomorrow morning."

"Is more testing necessary since there’s nothing else besides the sweet potato chips?"

The doctor glanced at Mo Wanwan, then at Ling Han.

"It’s part of the procedure. Have you brought over the dinner and sweet potato chips?"

Jiang Lai took out the sweet potato chips from her pocket and handed them to the nurse nearby.

"What about the other stuff?"

"Nothing else; the child only vomited after eating these. Both I and the child ate everything else without any issues."

Mo Wanwan was certain it was Jiang Lai’s sweet potato chips. The doctor nodded.

"Let’s wait for the test results. The patient isn’t in any major danger now, just needs to be hospitalized for observation."

Due to Hengheng’s incident, the program stopped filming. The director was frustrated because the contract originally signed for half a month, and delaying even one day meant paying a significant amount of penalty fees. These celebrities’ schedules were completely packed, especially big names like Ling Han and Yang Bing, whose every day of delay would cost quite a bit.

But now, with one family missing, filming couldn’t continue, so they could only wait for the test results.

Hengheng’s background is complicated, and if his mother finds out, the entire production team could face repercussions.

The director had no other thoughts; he just hoped Hengheng would get better soon and also hoped the Ling Family member didn’t watch the live stream tonight.

Unfortunately, Ling Yan not only watched the live stream that night but did so from a nearby hotel on a business trip.

So at dawn the next day, when everyone was groggy and exhausted, the sound of urgent heels clicking on the floor echoed through the hallway.

Ling Yan arrived, her face full of anger. Seeing the child lying on the hospital bed looking pale, she exploded immediately.

First, she grabbed Ling Han by the collar, mercilessly slapped him, and then pointed at Mo Wanwan’s nose and asked.

"You’d better clearly explain what’s going on here."

Mo Wanwan was terrified by the imposing Ling Yan.

She knew Ling Yan was bad-tempered and arrogant, but she never expected her to actually slap Ling Han in person, and in front of so many people without a hint of face-saving.

Mo Wanwan was panic-stricken, knowing how formidable Ling Yan was, she had no courage to resist and quickly explained.

"Hengheng got food poisoned after eating sweet potato chips given by our show’s Jiang Lai."

"Jiang Lai?"

At this moment, Jiang Lai and Zhou Yiqing also approached. Seeing Ling Yan coming over aggressively, Zhou Yiqing stood directly in front of Jiang Lai.

"President Ling, the matter hasn’t been clarified yet. I advise you to calm down first."

Seeing Zhou Yiqing, Ling Yan restrained herself a bit, but her gaze towards Jiang Lai was still full of anger.

"Mr. Zhou is not related to this, but she made my son suffer, so she must give me an explanation."

Jiang Lai didn’t hide, and stood out sideways, facing the angry woman in front of her, without a trace of fear, instead with a cold face.

"Since you can be such a big boss, you should discern right from wrong. The test results aren’t out yet, we haven’t determined why your son got poisoned, yet you’re rushing to blame me. Sorry, I don’t care who you are, not even if you’re the king of heaven!"

Does she really think I’m spineless?

It’s understandable for a mother to care about their son, but trying to bully without distinguishing the facts, they sure are siblings with Ling Han, both of the same vile character.

"Ha... such audacity from a minor celebrity, but I guess it’s understandable, being with a big boss who can save you eight lifetimes of struggle changes your tone.

"You better hope my son’s poisoning has nothing to do with you, otherwise, even for Mr. Zhou’s sake, I won’t spare you!"

"Since you’re threatening me, I have to make it clear, if your son’s poisoning isn’t related to me, you and she, have to publicly apologize to me."

Jiang Lai pointed at Mo Wanwan, looking at Ling Yan.

"The least fearful thing for a minor celebrity is a fight to the death. Today, you brought your brother and sister-in-law here to bully me, a small character, but since we’re all earning a living in the public eye, if you don’t give me an explanation after the result is out, even a small celebrity like me can make President Ling suffer."

Currently, Jiang Lai has the highest buzz online, and riding on this heat, if she wants, she can blow this matter up.
