Chapter 48 Food Poisoning
At noon, in order to express his gratitude, Xia Xizhi invited Ji Xiuyu to dinner. "Are you sure you're here?" Ji Xiuyu asked suspiciously.

Raising his eyebrows, Xia Xizhi smiled lightly: "Don't underestimate the decoration of this restaurant, which looks ordinary and tastes good. Usually, my colleagues and I have dinner together, and we will come here. The price is affordable, the food is delicious, and the quality is cheap .”

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyu leaned back on the chair and responded seriously: "It seems that Mrs. Ji is very good at housekeeping."

Hearing Mrs. Ji's words, Xia Xizhi's ears suddenly felt hot.This was the first time she felt that the word Mrs. Ji no longer had a derogatory connotation.Instead, it made her a little shy.

"Aren't you worried about this restaurant lowering your standards?" Xia Xizhi changed the subject.

Raising his eyebrows, Ji Xiuyu said leisurely: "Shouldn't my arrival make this restaurant flourish?"

The corner of her mouth twitched, and Xia Xizhi complained about her strength: "The skin is thick enough."

"Seek truth from facts." Ji Xiuyu responded seriously.

While talking, the food was served.While picking up the vegetables, Xia Xizhi enthusiastically introduced: "I like the ginger-fried beef here the most. It tastes really good. Today's ginger seems to be a little different from the ginger I ate before, and the crab I like..."

Seeing the beautiful color, Xia Xizhi's eyes sparkled, and he began to eat seriously.Looking at her actions, Ji Xiuyu was a little surprised.She didn't seem to eat much in the few times she ate, and it was rare for her to have a big appetite.Perhaps infected, Ji Xiuyu picked up the chopsticks, bowed his head and ate.

After lunch, at Xia Xizhi's suggestion, the two went for a walk nearby.After walking a few steps, Xia Xizhi only felt a tightness in his chest, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Frowning, Xia Xizhi stood where she was.Slowly, cold sweat fell on his forehead, and the pain became more and more intense.When Ji Xiuyu came to her, he saw her pale face and cold sweat dripping down: "Xia Xizhi, what's wrong?"

With difficulty falling on his eyes, Xia Xizhi said with difficulty: "It's so uncomfortable, my chest hurts, it hurts..."

Sensing her strangeness, Ji Xiuyu quickly picked her up, walked quickly towards the side of the road, and stopped a taxi directly: "Go to the hospital!"

On the way to the hospital, Xia Xizhi felt that she was about to suffocate.Breathing became weak, and the spirit gradually became lax. "Mr. Ji, I'm not going to die, am I?" Xia Xizhi said with difficulty.

Ji Xiuyu hugged her tightly, and responded in a low voice: "No, I'm here." With his assurance, Xia Xizhi slowly closed her eyes.His words made her feel at ease.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor who had been waiting there took Xia Xizhi directly to the emergency room.Looking at the red light that was on, Ji Xiuyu frowned.Time passed bit by bit, and Ji Xiuyu's heart was full of worries.

Ji Xiuyu waited anxiously, but Xia Xizhi never came out of the emergency room.A doctor walked by, and Ji Xiuyu pressed his hand: "What's going on with Xia Xizhi?"

"Miss Xia must have been poisoned, but we don't know the exact reason. I don't know it has something to do with lunch. We are taking gastric lavage and other detoxification measures." The doctor said quickly.

When hearing this answer, Ji Xiuyu narrowed his eyes.Take out your phone and press a string of numbers...

When Xia Xizhi slowly opened her eyes, it was already two hours later.Looking at the world in front of him, Xia Xizhi's eyes flickered with confusion. "Where is this?" Xia Xizhi asked weakly.

Looking at his bloodless face, Ji Xiuyu said in a low voice: "You are poisoned, and you are in the hospital for transfusion."

Poisoned?When Xia Xizhi heard this answer, she was astonished and asked in puzzlement, "How could I be poisoned? I didn't do anything special today, nor did I touch anything special."

"It might be food poisoning." Ji Xiuyu replied seriously.

Frowning, Xia Xizhi was puzzled: "Impossible, I usually order these dishes. Besides, don't you eat them too?" This is exactly what Ji Xiuyu didn't understand.If it was food poisoning, why would he be fine?
"Could it be that someone wants to harm me?" Xia Xizhi asked wonderingly.

Looking at a certain place thoughtfully, Ji Xiuyu's expression became dignified.At this moment, the phone vibrated. Ji Xiuyu took out the phone and pressed the connection: "What's the matter?"

After the call ended, Ji Xiuyu's expression became even more serious.Seeing this, Xia Xizhi asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

"According to the results of Kangkang's investigation in the restaurant, the chef asked for leave today, so the apprentices were sent to work. Cooking crabs and persimmons together is poisonous, and the stir-fried beef with ginger, the chef used hairy ginger instead of fresh ginger , is also highly poisonous. You have eaten a lot, if you come later, you will really die."

After learning that Xia Xi was poisoned, Ji Xiuyu sent someone to investigate.Investigated and monitored, and found that there was nothing unusual in the company.In the end, he targeted the restaurant.After investigating all the surveillance in the restaurant, I found out where the problem was.

Mixing these two foods together can cause severe poisoning and death.Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen to Xia Xizhi.And Ji Xiuyu was not poisoned, precisely because he didn't like these two dishes.

Xia Xizhi stared at him blankly, and it took him a while to realize: "Food poisoning is so serious..."

"Well, the two kinds of food you caused poisoning happen to be able to cause poisoning death." Ji Xiuyu said with a frown.

His heart was pounding, and Xia Xizhi suddenly felt a little scared.Looking at him, he said with emotion: "Then I am really lucky. If I go back to the office directly and no one finds that I have been poisoned, then I will really die."

Pinching her cheek, Ji Xiuyu said seriously: "Well, your life is hard enough."

Slapping his hand off, Xia Xizhi smiled weakly: "Thank you. Maybe I just had a gastric lavage, and I'm a little hungry. When I eat, I feel that the method is different from the usual one, but who can think of these details."

"I have asked the servant to prepare hot porridge, and it should be on the way here." Ji Xiuyu said with a smile.Xia Xizhi hummed lightly, and put her hands outside the quilt.

Turning sideways, Xia Xizhi said casually: "When you said you were poisoned, I thought someone was trying to kill me. Knowing that the chef was careless, I was relieved." Yes, Xia Xizhi felt that it was really scary.After all, the enemy is unknown.

A simple sentence made Ji Xiuyu feel more thoughtful.Before the servant's meal arrived, Xia Xizhi slowly fell asleep.

Seeing him falling asleep, Ji Xiuyu stood up slowly and came to the window.Thinking of Xia Xizhi's words, Ji Xiuyu frowned.Among so many dishes, why did the chef misplace these two dishes, which produced strong toxicity.

He didn't think it was an accident.Perhaps, as Xia Xizhi said, someone wanted to kill her.Thinking of this, Ji Xiuyu's face became gloomy.
