The scale of this incident was alarming. Normally, when transporting patients, someone would contact the hospital director. If not for Elder Yao, Zhu Yanyi, and herself being present, these children might have suffered varying degrees of injury, or even death.
Children are the nation’s treasures and wealth. If they were harmed, it would be an intangible loss for the country.
"We are teachers from Hongxing Kindergarten. Our children developed stomachaches simultaneously during lunch. We called an ambulance and were sent here directly," said a woman in her forties, who appeared to be the kindergarten’s director.
Gu Jingtian nodded and asked Dr. Yang beside him, "Did anyone call to notify us of this situation?"
Dr. Yang shook his head slightly. "No. I glanced at the dozens of ambulances; none belonged to our hospital. They were all sent here directly on the spot." Dr. Yang also found it strange. What exactly had gone wrong? Even for a single emergency patient, there was usually prior notification. Now, with such a large group of children in crisis, there had been no warning.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the children, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She scanned the others but remained silent. Elder Yao spoke up, "This matter cannot be left unresolved. Have someone investigate. Saving lives is our duty. Since the children are here, we will treat them with all our strength. However, if this is a calculated plot by someone with ill intentions, we will not yield."
The current situation was complex. Zhu Yanyi did not fully understand the level of scheming involved. Although she might be smart, she truly lacked the ability or energy for such maneuvers. Even telling a simple lie felt exhausting to her, let alone plotting against others. She simply didn’t understand such human intrigues. As she often said, in terms of scheming, she was absolutely useless. If she were placed in a palace intrigue novel, she would definitely not survive past the third chapter. Therefore, Zhu Yanyi focused her attention solely on the poisoned children, ignoring everything else.
After emergency treatment, the children had mostly recovered from danger. Only one case was severe, but fortunately, Elder Yao had used acupuncture to stabilize the child. However, the child still needed to be observed in the intensive care unit for twenty-four hours.
The authorities attached great importance to this incident. The reason for their concern was that the poisoner had not been identified, and none of the ambulances belonged to Jingdu Hospital. Everyone had been busy with the children, so no one had noticed which hospital the ambulances belonged to. If this was a deliberate poisoning event, it would be a major incident.
Gu Jingtian was several times busier than usual that day. Zhu Yanyi was grateful that she had used the Spirit Spring water since childhood, which had improved her physical constitution. Otherwise, such a busy schedule would have been too much for a small child to handle.
When she returned to the courtyard house, it was already eleven o’clock at night. The others had already gone to rest, but the light in Yan Aohan’s room was still on. Zhu Yanyi put her things in her room and planned to go to the kitchen for something to eat. Seeing the light in Yan Aohan’s room, she thought for a moment, then knocked on the door. After about ten seconds, Yan Aohan opened the door. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she nodded slightly. "Haven't you rested yet?"
