#542 - Chapter 542 Aflatoxin poisoning! My kidneys are broken? A chance meeting at the hotel!

Ruijin Hospital.

Dawn.

Bao Siwen and Bai Tong, pale-faced after having their stomachs pumped, lay in the special care ward.

Chen Hao watched over his unfortunate brothers, who were on IV drips.

"Mr. Chen!"

Li Hongwei suddenly walked in.

"Dean Li?"

Chen Hao was taken aback: "There's no need for you to come all the way here…"

It was already dawn, okay?

He subconsciously assumed that Li Hongwei had rushed over upon learning that he was at Ruijin Hospital—there was no need!

"You've misunderstood."

Li Hongwei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I only found out you were here after I arrived at the hospital."

"You mean…"

Chen Hao's heart tightened.

"Not only Shanghai Jiaotong University, but the entire city is experiencing widespread food poisoning, including our hospital, which has received hundreds of food poisoning patients—this is a serious public health and safety incident, and I was instructed to come here!"

"So many people?!"

Chen Hao's expression changed drastically.

This led him to conclude that it was unrelated to the food stalls outside the school.

After all, food from a single stall couldn't have spread throughout the entire city.

"Don't worry!"

"What are the test results?" Chen Hao asked anxiously.

"Here's the report."

"Let me see!"

Chen Hao snatched the test report.

The next moment.

His expression changed dramatically.

"Bai Tong's condition is better, but Bao Siwen's… liver and kidney function is damaged," Li Hongwei explained in a low voice.

Why were the two in different situations?

It was simple.

One ate more, and the other ate less.

"Kidneys?!"

Bao Siwen almost peed his pants in fright, quickly clutching his waist and shouting, "Am I… am I going into kidney failure?"

"Are my kidneys ruined… what will my girlfriend do?!"

"I just started dating recently…"

"Shut up!"

Chen Hao glared at him: "The extent of the damage varies, your report only shows slight damage, which is easily repaired!"

"Really?"

Bao Siwen was skeptical: "But… why does your face look so awful?"

He could live with a missing arm or leg.

But his kidneys absolutely couldn't have problems!

"Aflatoxin poisoning…" Chen Hao ignored him, muttering to himself.

His awful expression wasn't because of Bao Siwen, but because the components of the food poisoning were extremely dangerous.

Either it was gutter oil.

Or the production and transportation process was contaminated.

Actually, immediate poisoning was a good thing.

The damage of aflatoxin to the body was much more serious than liver and kidney damage.

The strongest carcinogen!

The carcinogenic cycle was only 24 weeks!

If symptoms appeared immediately after ingestion, at least timely rescue could be carried out. If a low dose was ingested for a long time, there would be no obvious symptoms, and by the time it was discovered… it would probably be too late, and cancer would have already developed!

"Chairman Chen!"

Shi Dali ran in: "We have a lead!"

"Speak!" Chen Hao urged.

"The food stalls themselves have no hygiene problems…"

"I know, get to the point!"

"Ah?!"

Shi Dali was confused.

Chairman Chen sent his unfortunate brothers to the hospital, and the relevant departments immediately started investigating, sealing off the food stalls at the first opportunity.

He had just received news that the food stalls were fine.

The problem was with the cooking oil.

How did Chairman Chen know?

"Speak!" Chen Hao urged.

"For now… we only know that there's a problem with the oil."

"Investigate!"

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy: "Investigate the source of the cooking oil! Detain all relevant personnel!"

"Yes!"

Shi Dali immediately left.

…

Early morning.

Xia Qingmo got up and washed up.

The sisters had agreed last night to go out shopping together today.

They were usually busy with their own affairs and had a lot to do, so it had been a long time since they had gone shopping.

After finishing breakfast.

Just as the sisters were about to leave, her younger sister's phone rang: "Hello?"

"Is this Miss Xia?"

"Who is this?"

"My surname is Wang, and I was sent by the Yanjing side to meet you."

"You are…"

Xia Qingmo suddenly thought of something: "Are you General Wang?"

She had heard Chen Hao call the other party General Wang several times when he answered the phone.

"That's right, it's me."

"Are you looking for… Chen Hao?"

"No, I'm looking for you."

"Ah?!"

"It's inconvenient for me to visit you at your home, can you come over for a bit?"

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone.

A text message with the address was sent over.

"Qingmo, General Wang is looking for you?" Xia Qingyan asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

"I'll go with you."

"Okay!"

Xia Qingmo nodded: "At the Shangri-La Hotel."

…

Shangri-La Hotel.

In the hotel room.

Several men were excitedly counting money.

They were from a large grain and oil company.

Not long ago, a large number of moldy soybeans and peanuts appeared in a warehouse of the company's oil refinery, which should have been destroyed.

But!

The higher-ups, through illegal means, pretended to destroy the batch of raw materials, secretly transported them out, avoiding other leaders, and found a private workshop to extract oil.

They didn't dare to sell it continuously, otherwise it might be exposed along the way.

So, they extracted all the raw materials into oil at once and secretly sold them to other places.

The place of sale was Shanghai!

In the past year, Shanghai's development speed was extremely fast, the number of migrant workers had increased dramatically, and the catering industry was booming.

Large restaurants had high requirements?

Ordinary stalls were easily attracted by low prices.

That's right!

In just three days, the moldy cooking oil was sold out at a price 40% lower than the market price.

They were the subordinates of that higher-up, responsible for the sale of moldy cooking oil.

They could get half of the profits.

As for the other half…

It had already been transferred to that higher-up yesterday.

"I didn't expect that I, Du Xiong, could also live in a five-star hotel in Shanghai, haha…" The leading bearded man laughed.

Not only live in a five-star hotel?

Yesterday.

They even found some hostesses.

"Brother Xiong, let's go quickly!"

The thin, tall man said in a low voice, "Someone went to the hospital the day before yesterday, and the city started investigating last night, we can't stay here anymore!"

They were very thorough in their actions.

They didn't use their real names.

They didn't sell it themselves.

Instead, they used fake names and hired 'salesmen' locally to avoid leaving clues as much as possible.

"Let's go!"

Du Xiong grinned strangely.

Leaving the guest room and walking towards the elevator lobby.

Ding-dong!

The moment the elevator door opened, he saw two beauties.

That appearance…

That figure…

Compared to the hostesses they found last night, it was simply heaven and earth!

"Damn! This chick is really gorgeous!" The always lecherous Du Xiong's eyes lit up.

"…"

Xia Qingmo frowned slightly.

"What did you say?!" Xia Qingyan scolded.

"Yo, is the little beauty getting angry? Brother…"

Bang!

Du Xiong didn't finish his words.

In his blind spot, where the two sisters' figures blocked his view, Ding Xiang suddenly appeared.

A punch to the liver!

Du Xiong, who was a full 1.8 meters tall, only felt a sharp pain in his liver area, and his eyes turned black.

He staggered and fell to the ground on the spot.

"You little bitch! How dare you…"

The others swarmed forward.

After all, Du Xiong was their leader, and they were still counting on him to distribute the money, so how could they not show their loyalty?

In their opinion, the girl knocked down Du Xiong completely by taking advantage of the sneak attack.

Were several big men afraid of a woman?
