The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 177

Huo ShaoJie and Lu Ye didn't say anything, but both had already had thoughts.

The crew had tested that pond and confirmed it was safe before allowing the actors to go in the water.

But with just that stumble, it almost drowned Rong Dai to death!

Rong Dai didn't even struggle, which clearly showed huge flaws.

Huo Mei Shu's face was ghastly pale. She really couldn't figure out who would harm her sister-in-law.

Zuo Ran had already been executed and turned to ashes.

And Wen Shi Lan was still sitting in prison.

The Wen family had already fallen and moved abroad as a whole family.

Who else would harm sister-in-law?

"Judging from the degree of the patient's coma, the dose of diazepam taken was very large. There were no remnants of diazepam tablets in her gastric juice, so it should have been crushed before taking it. You can think about whether the patient took anything before falling into a coma," the doctor said.

"The efficacy of diazepam tablets varies according to the patient's physical condition, usually taking effect in half an hour to one hour. You can check what the patient ate in the hour before falling into a coma," the doctor added.

Hearing Huo Mei Shu's words, the doctor also knew this was no simple matter.

Although he was a doctor, Rong Dai was now even more popular than those first-line actresses, so of course he could recognize her and was very dedicated to providing them with a frame of reference.

"Thank you, doctor," Huo ShaoJie said coldly.

After the doctor said "You're welcome" he left the ward with his assistant.

Rong Dai was on an IV drip in the ward. The three of them stood at the door of the ward. The hospital was quiet and creepy late at night.

Huo Mei Shu's mind was a mess as she recalled the doctor's words, thinking of when she went to bring sister-in-law ginger soup earlier. Sister-in-law had said she drank it already.

"Did you have the crew deliver ginger soup to sister-in-law today?"

She personally took care of all of sister-in-law's meals, because a specialized nutritionist cooked for her, so sister-in-law didn't have to eat boxed lunches with the crew.

Usually the nutritionist would cook the meals and she would go pick them up.

The nutritionist was hand-picked by big brother, so there was definitely no problem.

Of all the days, the ginger soup sister-in-law said she drank today was the only one that didn't go through her hands.

Lü Ye and Huo ShaoJie's faces were extremely gloomy. As expected, someone really had deliberately framed the crew.

And if anything really happened to Rong Dai, her co-star Qiao Wanzhou would definitely be unlucky.

No matter how brilliant Qiao Wanzhou's achievements were, if Rong Dai died, she would never be able to wash away that stain.

The opponent really had vicious means!

Huo ShaoJie and Lü Ye were very aware of the dirty tricks in this circle, but they didn't expect anyone to be so dirty and vicious to this degree!

"You two stay here and stand guard. I'll go thoroughly investigate the crew," Lü Ye said in a low voice.

If this matter wasn't investigated clearly, it wasn't just a question of whether Rong Dai could continue acting, but whether this drama could even make it onto the screen.

They had witnessed the extent Huo ShaoTing doted on his wife.

Huo ShaoJie and Huo Mei Shu siblings nodded. Lü Ye hurriedly left the hospital.

Because this matter had gotten a bit out of hand, the other crews at the studio city also knew about it, so the news was definitely not able to be kept under wraps.

As Lü Ye expected, this matter made it onto the hot search!

No one knew who leaked the on-site videos and photos.

Although there was no text, the videos were very clear.

There was never any shortage of people online with wild imaginations, especially those keyboard warriors. They would embellish things based on whatever they saw, saying preposterous things online to gain that bit of pathetic "validation".

Yet these kinds of online public opinion trends had huge influence.

Lü Ye urgently got PR to handle it, then sent assistants to investigate.

But since the culprit dared to do this, they must have arranged things meticulously, so how could they have left any clues?

Wang Xin, also known as Yang Wanwan, disappeared from the crew when Rong Dai was sent to the hospital, which gave Lü Ye a direction for his investigation.

Lü Ye got the police to help, but all of Wang Xin's information was fake.

Even if someone from the crew could describe her looks, even if there were photos of her, there was no way to find her.

This person had vanished into thin air.

Huo ShaoTing personally piloted a helicopter to the studio city and landed on the hospital's helipad, then hurried to Rong Dai's ward.

Seeing Rong Dai lying pale-faced in a hospital gown on the hospital bed, if not for the beeping machines indicating her heartbeat on one side, she looked no different from dead.

"What on earth happened?"

Huo ShaoTing strode forward in one step, grabbing Huo ShaoJie by the collar and practically dragging him out of the ward.

His eyes were fierce and angry, and his breathing was heavy.

"B-Big brother, speak properly. Second brother didn't know things would turn out this way either. There are many people in the crew. Even as the director, second brother can't keep eyes on sister-in-law at all times."

Seeing eldest brother so furious, Huo Mei Shu was scared out of her wits! Her face went pale and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

In all these years, this was the first time she had seen eldest brother get so angry at second brother.

"Things are still under investigation. Someone added an excessive amount of diazepam to sister-in-law's food, causing her to lose consciousness while filming," Huo ShaoJie said exceptionally calmly.

Even taking a few punches from big brother wasn't a big deal to him.

Anyone's heart would be filled with rage when the woman they loved was at death's door.

Huo ShaoTing released his collar. His face was still frighteningly cold.

"Go rest early. Eldest brother staying here alone is enough."

Seeing Huo ShaoTing enter the ward, Huo ShaoJie tidied his collar, his eyes also not looking good.

Huo Mei Shu nodded, knowing there was no use in her staying either. It would be better for her to go back and cook congee for sister-in-law.

Huo ShaoJie then went to the end of the corridor on the other side to call Lü Ye and get an update on the information he had investigated, before going to personally brief Huo ShaoTing.

Huo ShaoTing's face was gloomy as he told Assistant Zhang to go investigate directly.

What others couldn't investigate, didn't mean Huo ShaoTing couldn't investigate.

Huo ShaoJie saw him sitting at Rong Dai's bedside, tightly grasping one of her hands, not even glancing at him.

He let out a soft sigh, then turned and left the ward.

"Wife, don't play jokes on me. Hurry and wake up," Huo ShaoTing said after everyone left the ward.

His cold and gloomy expression finally became anxious and flustered.

He held Rong Dai's hand with his lips pressed against the back of her hand. His voice was mixed with panic and sobs.

His heart was in turmoil and he was terrified of losing her.

When he heard Huo Mei Shu tell him this news, he was so frightened that for a moment his heart felt like it had stopped beating.

He knew Rong Dai was the warmth he could never quit in this life. She was the most important half of his life.

Without her, his life would be incomplete.

If he lost her, he...would go crazy.
