The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Life-Threatening Danger

Including Sisi, Liou Qingcheng, and Meng Nan, all those who suffered from food poisoning were sent to this moderately-sized hospital for treatment. The reason for not going to the city center hospital or the Kanyue City Medical University Affiliated Hospital was due to the distance; right now, saving lives is the most important thing!

Smoking was not allowed inside the hospital building, so Lin Tian simply walked to the window, opened half of it, and smoked while looking at the night view of Kanyue City.

Li rarely saw Lin Tian smoke, but every time he smoked, it gave people a different illusion.

The first time Li saw Lin Tian smoke, it was at the beginning of their freshman year. He was holding a half-lit cigarette in his mouth while playing LOL, the keyboard and mouse clicking rhythmically, and when you looked at the screen, he was slaughtering all over.

The second time he saw this guy smoking was at a drinking table, and the feeling it gave was... this guy’s pretending was different from others.

This time, he didn’t know which time it was, but it was the time that made Li feel the heaviest, because Lin Tian’s back looked so desolate. Li could feel his low spirits.

Today, everyone got food poisoning, and Li introspected and felt that he couldn’t shirk responsibility and had a degree of guilt in his heart.

”I’ll go have a smoke too.” Li patted Xv Qinghuan’s hand and also walked to the window, stood next to Lin Tian, and leaned out, mimicking him.

The world outside the window had no air conditioning, so it was relatively hot. Fortunately, it was night now, the moon was bright, stars sparse, and with the summer breeze blowing, it didn’t feel so stuffy.

Lighting a cigarette and taking just two puffs, Li heard Lin Tian say, ”If you want to ask something, just ask. Is there anything between us that we can’t talk about?”

Li took another deep drag heavily, as if trying to suppress the heavy feeling in his heart.

”Is it serious?” Li looked at the sky, trying to find the Big Dipper.

Li understood Lin Tian’s character well; if it wasn’t serious, he wouldn’t stand alone at the window smoking, nor would he have such an expressionless face.

”A little.” Lin Tian said, ”I’m not very clear about what kind of poison it is, but there’s a life-threatening risk. Thankfully, we sent them here quickly, so there shouldn’t be a major issue.”

Li’s already pale face turned even paler, and his head buzzed, with only four words echoing—life-threatening risk!

Suddenly, Lin Tian patted Li’s shoulder and forced a weak smile, saying, ”Don’t worry too much, trust the doctors, it’ll be okay.”

Li nodded instinctively, but saying he’s not worried would be a lie. Those lying in there are his brothers! Except for Meng Nan, although the time spent with the others wasn’t long, the feelings developed were strong. Now with this incident, Li’s emotions were very complex, so complex that even breathing felt a bit labored.

Li raised his hand, wanting to take another heavy drag of his cigarette, but suddenly realized the cigarette that was still between his fingers had somehow fallen away, leaving his face more bitter.

”And... what about Sisi?” Li paused when he spoke, fearing to ask, afraid!

Lin Tian continued smoking, and after letting the smoke linger in his lungs for a while and then exhaling, he said, ”I’m afraid the child can’t be saved...”

Hearing this, Li’s eyelid twitched. A mix of emotions surged in his heart; if the child was lost, he wouldn’t know how to face Meng Nan and Sisi in the future.

”What can I do now?” Li lowered his head.

”Pray.”

”...”

”By the way,” Lin Tian asked, ”Why is it that everyone ate the food, but you and Huanhuan are fine? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suspecting you, I just want to ask if there’s anything you didn’t eat.”

Li thought for a while and finally shook his head, ”I’m not sure either, can’t quite remember. What about you? How come you’re fine?”

Lin Tian flicked the cigarette butt with his fingers, watching the tiny spark fall to the ground before saying, ”I once took a kind of medicine that makes me immune to many poisons. Probably because of that.”

Li’s expression turned odd, ”Immune to all poisons?”

”You could understand it that way, but that medicine’s effect only lasts a few years, so for now, it’s like that.” Lin Tian said.

”Such a thing actually exists.” Li marveled; in other circumstances, he would definitely dig deeper, maybe even get one or two pills from Lin Tian, but now, where was the mood for that?

Just then, a flurry of footsteps sounded behind them, and when they turned to look, it was people from the farmhouse, led by Cheng Dazui in a suit at the forefront.

Cheng Dazui quickly walked to the ICU door, looked at Lin Tian, and said, ”Gentlemen, I apologize, your car was driving too fast on the road, our driving skills were limited and couldn’t keep up...”

Lin Tian glanced at him coldly without intending to respond. He was on the verge of an outburst, and since he was dealing with someone from the farmhouse, he considered it decent enough not to explode.

Li also didn’t plan to respond; his mood was even more complex than Lin Tian’s.

The two of them embraced an ’out of sight, out of mind’ attitude, but didn’t expect Cheng Dazui, lacking tact, to quickly approach with a wry smile, asking, ”How is the situation now? Everyone should be okay, right?”

”Heh, okay?” Li’s eyes reddened as he said coldly, ”They’ve all gone into the emergency room, do you think they’re okay? I tell you, if anything happens to my friends, or if any underlying health issues linger, I will not let you off!”

”Yes, yes.” Cheng Dazui nodded repeatedly, saying, ”This was our oversight, and we’re already investigating the food supply issue. We believe we’ll have results soon and will make sure everyone gets justice.”

At this point, Lin Tian’s head turned over too, his eyes shooting cold light as he looked at Cheng Dazui, saying coldly, ”I don’t just want justice; I want my friends to be healthy. What can your internal investigation find out? It’s just a lot of noise with no substance, thinking we’re easy to fool, right?”

Though his thoughts were seen through, Cheng Dazui remained unchanged in demeanor, gesturing with his hands, ”No, no, you’ve misunderstood.”

”Whether it’s an investigation or a cover-up, you should have a clear idea in your mind,” Lin Tian snorted coldly, then couldn’t be bothered with this guy anymore.

Li saw Lin Tian’s attitude and got the hint, making a ’please’ gesture, effectively asking him to leave.

Cheng Dazui didn’t want to leave, nor did he dare. Without fully understanding these people, how could he just leave so easily? At the very least, he needed to know more about both sides, right?

Cheng Dazui remained smiling without changing his expression, asking, ”This young man, could you tell me where you gentlemen are employed, or who your father is?”
