Chapter 488 Ye Shenge's First Taste of Vengeance
Wen Gu, angered, grabbed her cup and gulped down its contents, particularly bothered by the way everyone was looking at her.
Just wait. Once she got rid of Ye Shenge and openly stood beside Zi Yisheng, this entire pharmaceutical factory would be hers. Then, she'd kick all these people out.
But Wen Gu's smugness didn't last long. She suddenly slumped to the ground, startling everyone in the lab.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Shenge smiled, but still went to the lab proactively.
Elder Fan and Elder Dang were also called in. Wen Gu was clearly deeply poisoned, though she was still maintaining consciousness.
Seeing Ye Shenge arrive, Wen Gu crawled to her feet like a dying fish, grabbing the hem of Ye Shenge's pants with all her might.
"It was you, wasn't it?"
"Wen Gu, what are you talking about?"
"I know it was you. This poison was supposed to be for you."
Ye Shenge quickly kicked away Wen Gu's hand and retreated a few steps, her face a mask of disbelief.
"You, Wen Gu, I don't think I have any enmity with you. And when did you poison me?"
Wen Gu coughed up blood. The others in the lab kept their distance.
"Hurry and get me the antidote, I want the antidote!"
"A Sen, quickly ask where the antidote is. Save her first."
"The antidote is under the pillow in my dorm. Hurry and get it."
Ye Shenge nodded at A Sen. Saving her was out of the question.
"Wen Gu, now tell me why you tried to poison me and how you ended up poisoned yourself?"
Wen Gu's eyes were full of malice, and she pointed a trembling finger at Ye Shenge.
"You didn't drink the water I poured for you. Why did I get poisoned? When did you switch my medicine?"
"Wen Gu, you're hilarious. I didn't even know you were trying to poison me, how could I have switched your medicine?"
"Exactly! President Ye has been busy with work and luckily didn't drink the water you offered, otherwise President Ye would be the one lying on the ground."
"Right, Wen Gu is a murderer, we need to call the police immediately."
"This murderer doesn't deserve to be in the lab. President Ye had no enmity with her and yet she tried to harm her. If she stays here, our lives will be threatened."
Ye Shenge was satisfied and let out a heavy sigh.
"Wen Gu, although I don't understand why you wanted to harm me, you must bear the consequences for doing something illegal."
With that, Ye Shenge had someone call the police. She wanted Wen Gu to see her accomplices arrested.
A Sen brought the antidote over. Elder Fan took it and sniffed it.
"Girl, it's probably best if we don't give Wen Gu this unknown medicine. If she dies, we'll all be implicated."
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I'll use silver needles to suppress her poison for now. Once the police arrive, they can decide whether to administer the medicine."
Upon hearing this, Wen Gu went mad. She struggled to half-crawl up.
"Ye Shenge, I shouldn't have let you live. If you had died, I could have had everything. But you've been lucky every time and escaped.
Do you think you can escape everything else just because you survived my poisoning? Your children should be in our people's hands by now. Hurry and give me the medicine, or I'll make you watch your children die before your eyes."
Although Ye Shenge knew her children were safe, she was still furious at being threatened like this. She kicked Wen Gu in the face.
"You dare harm my children? If they are even slightly in danger, I'll make sure you wish you were dead. Master, let her live."
Wen Gu's teeth loosened from the kick, and she spat out another mouthful of blood.
But no one present showed her any sympathy; they only felt disgust at her malice.
"Hahahaha, Ye Shenge, you'll regret this. A sickly person like you shouldn't have all this. If I can't have it, you don't deserve to be happy either."
"A Sen, quickly contact the school. I need to know the situation with the children."
Ye Shenge wanted to witness Wen Gu's hopes being dashed, and to make her hear her accomplices being apprehended.
It wasn't long before A Sen returned, narrating the facts expressionlessly.
"President Ye, the school says the children are all in class, safe and sound."
"Impossible! You're all just pretending to be calm. Our people wouldn't fail."
"However, nine criminals were apprehended at two schools. The leader's name is Jin Sanmu."
The name A Sen uttered shattered Wen Gu's last bit of confidence. She had been hoping to trade Ye Shenge's children for her freedom. Now, it was all over.
"Ah! I'll kill you!"
A Sen kicked Wen Gu, and blood splattered across the lab floor again.
"Drag her out to wait for the police. You lot, clean up and get back to work."
Ye Shenge stood at the doorway, watching Wen Gu being dragged out. She squatted in front of her.
"Wen Gu, how does being poisoned feel? Are you anxious seeing the antidote but unable to take it? Every move you made was being watched by me. I knew every word you exchanged with Jin Sanmu every night."
"It was you indeed, you venomous woman! How could you be so wicked?"
Ye Shenge smiled. She could have taken down Wen Gu from the start, but she wanted to see Wen Gu driven to despair. Those who dared to covet her man deserved to suffer slowly.
"Wen Gu, you really shouldn't have coveted my man. I will continue to torment you, and I will never let you die easily. Furthermore, when your accomplices are sentenced to death, I will have someone bring you to witness the execution."
"Ye Shenge, aren't you afraid Zi Yisheng will find out about this wicked side of you?"
Ye Shenge stood up and looked down at Wen Gu.
"I'm not afraid at all. This is the first time I've made my man feel how much I care about him. He'll thank you for it."
Ye Shenge truly hadn't realized how disgusting she found women who coveted her man. This urge for revenge was also a first, so she patiently waited to vent her anger.
If any woman dared to covet her man in the future, she would act just the same. Otherwise, wouldn't it embolden those who wanted to be mistresses?
"Master, let her live in pain. Just don't let her die."
"Alright, girl. You shouldn't get angry over such trash."
This time, it was Elder Dang who acted. He doted on his disciple and wouldn't let anyone bully her. He also made a mental note to blame Zi Yisheng for climbing so high, attracting the attention of so many women.
Before the police arrived, Wen Gu endured immense torment, not only from the poison in her body but also from the silver needles Elder Dang used to target her acupoints.
Meanwhile, Jin Sanmu at the school lay like a dead fish on the floor of a school warehouse. Wei Jiu and other experienced interrogators showed no mercy.
"Speak! Where is your base? Whose subordinate are you? Don't tell me you're just ordinary people."
Jin Sanmu gritted his teeth. As long as he didn't speak, there was still a glimmer of hope for rescue. Otherwise, only death awaited him.
A Can lost patience. There was no point in adhering to rules now.
"Use the medicine quickly. Once we get the information, we can bring Xiao Youyou and Xiao Mi'er home for dinner."
