Xia Zhe was much calmer. He had participated in all of Qiao Mei’s experiments on the poisons and knew the effect and impact of each poison like the back of his hand. It was obvious to him that it was Qiao Mei who had poisoned Xia He.

However, Qiao Mei definitely must have her reasons for doing this. Xia Zhe just stood quietly at the side and waited for Qiao Mei to tell them the truth. After everyone else had left the room, Qiao Mei quickly fed Xia He the antidote and told Liu Yang to replace Xia He’s attending doctor with someone who was on their side. News of her condition must not be leaked out.

“When I arrived, Da Zhuang had already subdued Song Dan. However, I’m not sure what Song Dan had done before that. We will only know after Elder Sister wakes up. I haven’t informed Deng Fan about this yet. We can tell him after we figure out what happened,” Qiao Mei said cautiously.

Everyone understood Qiao Mei’s concerns. Xia Wen went back to take care of Mo Zhu for the time being. Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei stayed behind to keep an eye on Xia He and she finally slowly regained consciousness two hours later.

“Elder Sister, you’re awake!” Qiao Mei said happily.

“I’m sorry. I have let my guard down and caused you trouble,” Xia He said, feeling sad.

“It’s not your fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame those people for having such ulterior motives! Elder Sister, can you still remember what happened?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia He had arrived at the wedding banquet with a generous gift. She and Luo Xi had a good chat when they saw each other. Back in school, the two of them were best friends. However, after Xia He joined the military art troupe, the two of them did not really keep in touch.

She did not expect Tang Xin and Mao Lu to dare to tamper with the drinks at Luo Xi’s wedding banquet. The moment she took a sip of her drink, she felt that something was wrong and fainted after taking a few steps towards the door. She only slowly regained consciousness after reaching the hotel.

At that time, Song Dan had gone into the bathroom to take a shower. Xia He kept struggling, but she could only use her eyes but not move the rest of her body. She had never encountered a drug with this kind of effect before.

Song Dan was determined to succeed this time and had gone all out on her. He had nothing to lose and was not even afraid of death. He felt that he would have no regrets if he could have a taste of Xia He before he died.

“Song Dan didn’t do anything to me. He didn’t have time to touch me before he was discovered,” Xia He said.

Just as Qiao Mei had guessed, Xia He had remained safe and sound after she woke up. In that case, the rest of the issue was easy to handle. This matter would not affect Xia He much since she was a strong and tenacious person. All Xia He could think about now was how to take revenge and make Song Dan wish that he was dead!

“Elder Sister, take good care of your health first. Tang Xin and Mao Lu have already been arrested and Song Dan has also been handed over to Zou Ming. This time, all three of them won’t be able to get away scot-free,” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you, Qiao Mei. Without you, I don’t know what sort of nasty things I would have to experience,” Xia He said heartfully as she looked at Qiao Mei.

“There’s no need to thank me. We’re all family. There’s no need for us to thank one another for no reason,” Qiao Mei said.

After knowing what transpired, Qiao Mei instructed Zou Ming to lock up Song Dan and the other two people. No one was allowed to visit them and he had to wait for them to make a decision.

At that time, when Song Dan and Da Zhuang got into a brawl, Song Dan was only wearing his underwear and everyone there saw it. Later on, even after everyone knew that Xia He had been poisoned, there were still some people who gossiped about her. Xia He’s reputation was still affected, so it was definitely impossible for the Xia family to settle this matter quietly.

The first thing Qiao Mei did was to make a big fuss about the poisoning attempt and declare publicly that Song Dan wanted to take Xia He’s life. She wanted this matter to be dealt with as a case of attempted murder and not let it develop into a case of attempted rape.

The medical report from the hospital and the people at the scene were clear proof that Xia He had been poisoned. These were witnesses and physical evidence that was favorable for them. Even if Song Dan wanted to deny it, there was nothing he could do.

“I’m guessing that there’s someone powerful behind Song Dan. Those drugs are definitely not something he can buy on his own. He must have gotten them from someone else. Otherwise, with Song Dan’s character, he would have found a place to hide them long ago,” Xia He said.

“Who is Song Dan close to? The Du family? Can it be Du Huai?” Qiao Mei asked.

When the Du family members were arrested, only Du Huai remained at large. Du Huai had made a lot of contributions to the arrest of the Du family members. At that time, Zou Ming and the others did not manage to find any concrete evidence against Du Huai. They did not expect Song Dan to be able to contact him.
