Chapter 059: Life is worse than death
After living in the Xu’s manor for two days, on May 25, Yang Tianci bid farewell to the Xu brothers and prepared to go to Bangkok Airport to fly back to Guangzhou.
The convoy had a smooth journey.
In the airport waiting room, Xu Xuemeng and Yang Tianci said goodbye to each other reluctantly.
Just as Yang Tianci was waiting for the flight, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap sat expressionlessly about ten meters away, staring at the scrolling screen at the airport, then picked up a copy of "Les Miserables" and read it with relish.
Half an hour later, the plane arrived at the airport.
Yang Tianci and others boarded the plane directly.
Looking at the figure disappearing in the boarding gate, the middle-aged man smiled and continued watching Les Miserables. There was still an hour and a half before the flight to Manila.
On the plane to Guangzhou.
Yang Tianci, who had just sat down, rubbed his temples. He always felt very tired these days and had a poor appetite. Could it be that he was not used to the local climate? He wondered with some doubt.
Seeing the stewardess pushing the cart coming over, he raised his hand and said, "Please give me a bottle of mineral water."
"Okay, sir." The flight attendant handed over a bottle of mineral water with a smile.
After Yang Tianci opened it, he took a sip of mineral water.
Hmm? Why does it taste metallic? He didn't swallow it, but spit it out.
The assistant asked nervously, "Boss, what's the problem?"
The stewardess in the first class cabin was also puzzled and asked in confusion: "Sir, is there any problem with the mineral water? I will change a bottle for you right away."
The assistant took another bottle of mineral water, added it to the previous bottle of mineral water, and gave it to the bodyguard who was looking at the side.
The bodyguard immediately understood and poured out a small cup of each. He first took out a box of expensive professional drug test strips from his body, and then used three types of test strips to test the two bottles of mineral water respectively.
Seeing the reaction color on the test paper, the bodyguard shook his head: "Boss, no problem."
"No problem? Is it my illusion?" Yang Tianci muttered in a low voice, then picked up the second bottle of mineral water and took another sip.
Hmm? ... What's going on? It still has a metallic taste. Is there something wrong with this brand of mineral water?
The assistant saw Yang Tianci frowning again and asked quickly: "Boss, is this mineral water not to your taste? Stewardess, bring a bottle of purified water."
The flight attendant, who had already been frightened out of her wits, hadn't reacted yet. The chief stewardess who came over immediately smiled and said, "We are very sorry. We didn't provide good service. We will provide Mr. Yang with purified water right away."
But when Yang Tianci took a sip of purified water, his expression changed.
That damn metallic smell became more pronounced.
He handed his assistant: "Take a sip and tell me what it tastes like."
What? Although the assistant was confused, he still took a sip, then carefully tasted the flavor, and then replied cautiously:
"It doesn't have any taste, just the taste of plain water."
"No taste?" Yang Tianci didn't quite believe it, and asked the three bodyguards to take a sip as well. The three bodyguards also couldn't taste anything.
What's going on? They didn't taste anything, is it my fault? Metallic taste... Could it be some kind of poison? Yang Tianci's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He quickly asked the experienced bodyguard captain: "Ah Hu, there is a metallic taste when I drink water, what's going on?"
"Drinking water tastes metallic?" Bodyguard captain Ah Hu thought for a moment and said, "This feature is not very obvious. Boss, do you have any other abnormalities?"
Yang Tianci frowned and said, "Abnormal... I feel a little tired and have lost my appetite these past few days, and my hands and feet are a little weak."
"Uh..." Ah Hu was also embarrassed when he heard this.
After all, Yang Tianci had been flying continuously for the past few days and had participated in several banquets and business cooperation negotiations. It was quite normal for him to feel tired, have loss of appetite, and have weak hands and feet.
The assistant asked the flight attendant and the chief steward to leave first, and he suggested: "Boss, after we get off the plane, let's go to the hospital for a check-up!"
"Can."
But he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
But he didn't know that when he was boarding the plane, the middle-aged man who passed by him had already activated the "bomb" hidden in his body.
Only a small part of the toxin from the poisonous mosquito was released before, and a large part was carried by the malarial parasite and entered various parts of his body and hid secretly.
It was not until the soldiers used pheromones to activate the genetically modified malarial parasites and release the toxins that some of the toxins were inside Yang Tianci's brain, which gave him a headache.
He half-closed his eyes in his seat for a while, and suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach. The weakness in his hands and feet became more and more obvious. Yang Tianci's lips turned pale: "Help me... go to the bathroom."
The assistant was startled. He ordered the bodyguard to help Yang Tianci go to the bathroom, while he called the flight attendant to prepare first aid.
When the plane arrived at Yangcheng Airport.
Yang Tianci's body had been carried off the plane on a stretcher, and the chief flight attendant had already contacted the tower and asked the airport to prepare an ambulance.
At this time, Yang Tianci, who was in the ambulance, fell into a coma, twitching from time to time, and had clinical symptoms similar to epilepsy.
The doctors and nurses in the ambulance are very experienced. As soon as they see these clinical symptoms, they know that there is a problem with the patient's central nervous system.
He quickly asked the assistant some more questions.
The doctor opened Yang Tianci's mouth, looked at his tongue, and used a small flashlight to check his eyes: "The preliminary diagnosis is that he is poisoned, and it is some kind of toxin that has a neurological effect, but the specific toxin needs detailed testing."
In fact, the doctor is almost certain what the poison is, but he can't make any guarantees.
The ambulance sped all the way to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.
Yang Haibo and his wife Chang Mei came to the outside of the hospital ward, looking gloomy and worried.
The attending physician said seriously, "Mr. Yang, your son's health is not optimistic! Thallium poisoning has penetrated into the central nervous system. Now we can only use emergency blood transfusion and Prussian blue sausage injection."
"What kind of poison has my son been poisoned by?" Chang Mei was a little hysterical.
The attending physician explained: "Thallium poisoning... the poison is called thallium, and it was used to make rat poison in the past."
Yang Haibo quickly asked: "Can it be cured?"
The attending physician shook his head regretfully: "If it had been discovered immediately, it might have been possible to treat it. Now it's too late. We can only try to save his life, but your son might..."
"What's possible?" Chang Mei asked in a trembling voice.
The attending physician did not dare to hide it, lest the other party think that the hospital was not good enough, so he directly told the possible problems:
"There may be alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, dementia, mental disorder, weakness of the limbs, impaired vision, and even blindness."
"..."Chang Mei collapsed.
Yang Tianci’s wife quickly supported her mother-in-law.
Although Yang Haibo's emotions did not completely lose control, judging from his trembling body, he was obviously extremely uneasy inside.
He turned around and fiercely grabbed the collar of Yang Tianci's assistant: "Why was Tianci poisoned? How do you manage to be an assistant?"
Then he yelled at the bodyguards: "My Yang family spends tens of millions every year to train you, is this how you protect people? A bunch of rubbish!"
The assistant and bodyguard all lowered their heads, not daring to react at all.
The attending physician at the side hurried to the ward to check on the patient's condition. He couldn't control or offend such a big shot, so he could only pretend not to see it.
