Starting by Winning the Sister-in-law's Best Friend Chapter 273: Dr. Li, Did You Like the Gift Just Now?

"All the workers have been poisoned?"

Li Chuan frowned upon hearing this—it was quite bizarre!

He got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Party Secretary Chen Yashan standing there with a face full of panic. His hands and feet were trembling, clearly scared out of his wits.

"I... I just brought mosquito coils to the workers and then discovered... discovered them..."

Party Secretary Chen had lived in Taohua Village for most of his life and had never seen such a scene!

If it were just food poisoning and diarrhea, that would be one thing, but the current symptoms were terrifying.

Li Chuan remained composed as he walked into the courtyard. With his dical skills, as long as the person wasn't dead on the spot, he could save them.

As he reached the courtyard, he saw Zhou Ruolan directing a few villagers to gather the poisoned workers together.

Zhou Ruolan had narrowly avoided being affected because she had just been inspecting the school construction site. Her diligence saved her from the disaster.

"Dr. Li, you're not poisoned; that's great! Co and take a look at what's going on."

Seeing Li Chuan looking spirited, Zhou Ruolan felt slightly reassured.

Seeing Li Chuan unhard was like a calming reassurance pill for them. Secretary Chen and Zhou Ruolan both knew how skilled Li Chuan was, so he was their only hope now.

"Teacher Zhou, are all the poisoned workers here?"

Li Chuan glanced at the workers lying in a row in the courtyard and asked.

"Yes, Dr. Li," Chen Yashan said nervously, "They were all falling asleep, so they were clustered together."

"Alright, go get hot water, as much as possible."

Li Chuan nodded and then walked over to the poisoned workers.

The workers here were mostly young and strong, thanks to years of physical labor, leaving them in decent shape.

But now, each had a face clouded with blackness, contorted in pain, with so twitching occasionally. Those foaming at the mouth were considered the better off.

Little wonder Chen Yashan and Zhou Ruolan looked so disturbed; the scene looked like a row of zombies lying there—how could it not be frightening?

It was clear this was not food poisoning.

This was fast—soone poisoned them so quickly, and these workers suffered unwarranted calamity.

Li Chuan instantly recognized this as the handiwork of the Seven Kills Sect!

Before long, Chen Yashan organized the village committee mbers to bring plenty of hot water.

Li Chuan returned to the house, took out silver needles, and began detoxifying the workers.

An hour later, the workers who had looked like zombies with blackened faces recovered to normal. Although they still appeared pale and depleted of their Primordial Energy, at least their lives were not in danger.

So of the stronger ones could even stand and move, and once aware of the situation, they expressed their gratitude to Li Chuan.

"It's strange; we didn't eat anything suspicious, so how did we get poisoned? Food safety nowadays is really worrying!" a leading worker complained.

"Don't overthink it. Eat and sleep as usual. I'll have the secretary prepare so dicinal soup for you all, have a good sleep after drinking it, and you'll recover tomorrow." Li Chuan reassured them.

"Thank you, Dr. Li!"

Hearing Li Chuan's words, the workers cald down.

Li Chuan didn't say much more, nodding as he returned to his room.

Zhou Ruolan followed him in. "Dr. Li, is everything really alright?"

These workers were here to build bridges and schools. If anything happened, she felt partially responsible.

Li Chuan shook his head. "Yes, there's no problem. Once the secretary finishes the dicine, have them drink it; there will be no aftereffects."

"That's great."

The weight on Zhou Ruolan's heart lifted.

"Teacher Zhou, you should go back to sleep too. I'll watch over the workers outside," Li Chuan advised.

With the Seven Kills Sect possibly watching from the shadows, it was safer not to get too close to Zhou Ruolan.

"Alright then." Zhou Ruolan was exhausted and, having resolved a major concern, just wanted to sleep.

After Zhou Ruolan left, Li Chuan headed outside to check for any anomalies in the village.

As he approached the river, Li Chuan suddenly noticed a figure standing gracefully on a large rock by the shore.

The shadowy figure was faintly visible in the night, appearing and disappearing.

But one could vaguely see the person's striking figure!

Was it the Water Ghost from the river?

At this mont, seeing such a figure, Li Chuan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Dr. Li, did you enjoy the little gift earlier?"

A charming, lodious voice sounded.

Li Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you... from the Seven Kills Sect?"

The woman let out a light laugh. "Smart! As expected from the little handso guy with a mind worth a billion. Since you know who I am, you should know what I'm here for, right?"

Li Chuan smiled slightly. "I have no idea."

"You..." The woman was obviously taken aback by Li Chuan's words, but she quickly regained her composure.

Indeed, this woman was Yan Ruyu.

She originally intended to poison Li Chuan.

However, Li Chuan's resistance to toxins and detoxification skills unexpectedly aroused her stubborn competitive spirit!

So, she deliberately showed up to provoke Li Chuan face-to-face!

She was shocked at Li Chuan's ability to neutralize Dust Fate, which only fueled her growing urge to kill him!

In other words, even without a mission, Yan Ruyu intended to challenge Li Chuan!

And, indeed, decide life and death!

"What you just experienced was rely an appetizer; soon, you'll taste the feast I've ticulously prepared for you! I hope you're capable of enjoying it; otherwise... hehe..."

Yan Ruyu didn't finish her sentence. After leaving behind a harsh remark, she vanished swiftly into the night.

The opponent moved quickly; even Li Chuan couldn't hold her back.

Unless he were very close, using a short burst of power to catch her would be impossible!

But even though she got away, Li Chuan wasn't worried.

If it were any other thod, he might be concerned, but if it were poisoning, his current dical skills left no cause for anxiety.

...

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, Li Chuan began his busy routine.

Using the Pill Formula from the Ghost Gate Pulse Technique, he carefully brewed a pot of detoxifying soup, sitting at the entrance of the village committee's courtyard, distributing small bowls to workers and villagers.

The reason was the suspicion of a malicious individual poisoning the village to retaliate against society, so taking the detox soup in advance was a precaution!

After the events of the previous night, everyone had deep trust in Li Chuan, and the whole village ca to collect their share.

...

At the building materials store.

Ji Wuming looked incredulous. "Junior sister, that guy can actually ignore the Dust Fate poison? How is that possible?"
