511: Chapter 506: Poisoned?
Ye Tian noticed the new colleague who had just started working today…
“What’s your name?”
As the head of security, Ye Tian naturally had to ask and show concern.
The new security guard immediately scampered to Ye Tian’s side, excitedly saying, “My name is Li Tianming, Captain Ye.
In order to avoid your taboo, from today onwards, I’ll call myself Li Ming!”
“Damn!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but curse out loud; he had never seen such unabashed flattery—it was as if he was regarded as an emperor!
However, this bit of flattery was quite pleasant to Ye Tian after all…
Seeing a smile appear on Ye Tian’s face, Li Ming quickly stepped forward and said, “Captain Ye, it’s my first day at work, but having heard from the older brothers about the captain’s heroic deeds, I’m utterly in awe!
Being able to work under you is the honor of my life!
I will definitely serve loyally before and behind you, Captain.
If you command me to go east, I will never head west…”
“Wait!
Let’s leave it at that!”
Ye Tian quickly interrupted Li Ming’s speech, fearing that if he continued, he wouldn’t finish even by the end of the workday.
But Li Ming was still relentlessly flattering!
“Captain, the other brothers have witnessed your strength, but I, this new junior, have never seen your mighty and domineering side.
Could you show us a little something, so we can broaden our horizons?”
Li Ming shamelessly continued, while the other security guards also joined in chorusing!
“Exactly, exactly, Captain.
Before, when we saw you fight, it was awesome, but we never paid close attention.
Thinking about it now, if we don’t see how awesome you really are, we might as well have lived a dog’s life!”
“I want to see too!
I want to see too!
Captain Ye, could you let us witness again how you tore that foreign devil in two?”
“Captain, please!
Just pity us, these little brothers…
I’ve caught a disease that will kill me if I can’t see the captain’s martial skills!”
…
Under Li Ming’s lead, these normally tongue-tied security guards suddenly all became masters of flattery, and Ye Tian shook his head ruefully with a wry smile.
“You rascals, you actually want me to demonstrate my skills here?
Aren’t you afraid the building will collapse?”
Ye Tian asked laughingly, but the security guards immediately made their stance known.
“No worries, even if the building collapses, having witnessed Captain Ye’s incredible skills, it’s not a loss!”
“This building isn’t as valuable as Captain Ye, is it?”
…
Ye Tian was left speechless, the principles of these security guards had almost completely eroded away…
And seeing the enthusiasm of the security guards, it seemed they wouldn’t rest until they saw him demonstrate his skills, but Ye Tian couldn’t go all out; otherwise, his wife’s Yun Corporation office building would be no more!
“Buzzzzzz~~~~~~~”
Suddenly, Ye Tian heard the sound of a fly.
The security team’s break room was located in the basement of Yun Corporation, which was damp, inevitably attracting flies, and no amount of mosquito coils, repellents, or bug zappers worked.
“You rascals, keep your eyes peeled and watch closely!”
Ye Tian shouted, then picked up a toothpick from the table and started waving it over his head.
The security guards were dumbstruck because Ye Tian’s hand speed was astonishing!
Let alone the toothpick in Ye Tian’s hand, they couldn’t even catch a glimpse of his hand…
“Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The toothpick moved in the hand, making a series of crisp sounds, and the security guards all widened their eyes, marveling at Ye Tian’s impressive skills!
Before long, Ye Tian stopped moving his hand and placed the toothpick on the table.
On the toothpick, like kebabs, a dozen flies were skewered!
The security team’s break room suddenly became quiet, free from the annoying buzz of flies…
“Wow~~~~~~~~”
After a silence, the entire break room erupted, and all the security guards shouted in amazement!
“Captain, you you you you you are just too amazing, to skewer flies with a toothpick, this is the first time I’ve seen such a technique!”
“Captain Ye, could you give us a heads-up next time you perform, look, I didn’t capture it well on video…”
“Idiot!
Captain’s speed is so fast, even if you used a high-speed camera, you couldn’t capture it clearly!”
“Captain, Captain, this toothpick skewering flies technique is just perfect for flirting, could you teach me?
My future happiness depends on you, Captain!”
…
In awe, in admiration, in regret, in seeking mentorship, the members of the security team were all utterly impressed by Ye Tian’s martial skills.
However, Ye Tian was too lazy to bother with these underlings any further and angrily said, “You rascals, I have given you enough face already, now get out and patrol.
If you stay here any longer, watch out, I’ll string you up on a toothpick!”
Ye Tian wasn’t really angry, but the skill he had just demonstrated in skewering flies with toothpicks had impressed everyone, so the security guards dared not disobey his orders.
The guards scrambled out of the security team’s rest room, and Ye Tian was happy to have some peace and began to surf the internet again…
Ye Tian had been idling until noon when Yun Xinyan called to say she was going out for lunch.
Ye Tian didn’t mind and responded with a light-hearted “Eat well and drink well!”
Soon after, the security guards also came to tell Ye Tian that they were going to have lunch…
The employees of Yun Corporation were also gradually heading out to eat lunch either outside or in the company cafeteria.
Only then did Ye Tian get up; he wandered over to the HR Director’s office and, sure enough, Bai Lan was waiting there!
During work, Bai Lan had told Ye Tian that she had a stomach ache.
Ye Tian had promised her that he would diagnose her during the lunch break, and now that it was noon, Bai Lan had become quite impatient.
“Ye Tian, why have you only just arrived?”
Bai Lan said discontentedly, clutching her stomach and looking pained.
“Sorry, Lan Sister, the security team was just too busy today, I’ve been busy up until now!”
Ye Tian said with a cheeky grin, to which Bai Lan immediately glared at him sharply.
Who didn’t know that Ye Tian was famously flippant in the corporation?
His job being too busy?
He was actually a man who did nothing at all.
Bai Lan had often heard people say that the captain of the security team, Ye Tian, did nothing but surf the internet in the rest room during work hours…
Now, however, Bai Lan didn’t want to dwell on these matters.
She quickly locked the office door.
“Ye Tian, please treat me quickly!” Bai Lan pleaded.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!
Lan Sister, just take it slow!” Ye Tian said with a smile, pointing to the desk, “Lan Sister, please lie down on the desk!”
Being asked to do something odd again, Bai Lan’s face turned slightly red as she timidly lay down on the desk.
“Lan Sister, where does it hurt?” Ye Tian asked again.
“My stomach.”
“Lan Sister, please show me your stomach.
You don’t need me to do that part, right?”
“Ye Tian, there’s nothing wrong with my stomach, is there?”
Indeed, there was a disorder in Bai Lan’s stomach, which Ye Tian could distinctly feel as bloating, but it was not caused by indigestion.
Instead, it was a different type of gas!
“Ye Tian, what illness do I have?”
Seeing Ye Tian’s solemn expression, Bai Lan couldn’t help but start worrying.
“Keep calm.”
Merely touching with his hands wasn’t enough for Ye Tian to diagnose exactly what was in Bai Lan’s stomach, so he used his clairvoyant ability.
Ye Tian’s gaze was piercing, enabling him to see the flow of qi and blood in Bai Lan’s meridians.
However, there was something unusual in her meridians…
A stream of black qi!
This type of black qi was not natural to the meridians but had been ingested from the outside.
Ye Tian could tell at a glance that this black qi was toxic.
That is to say, Bai Lan had been poisoned!
“Lan Sister, you have been poisoned.”
Ye Tian spoke quietly, causing Bai Lan’s face to turn pale with fright.
“Poisoned?
How can this be?
Could I die from this?
Is there an antidote?”
What Bai Lan feared most was that the poison she had contracted was incurable, vaguely conjuring the classic scenes from martial arts novels in her mind.
Ye Tian, wearing a deadpan expression, added, “Lan Sister, it’s just a slow-acting poison.
If it were a lethal poison, how could you possibly have survived until now?
Besides, detoxifying doesn’t generally require an antidote nowadays, we just need to expel the poison from the body.”
“Oh…”
Bai Lan nodded slightly.
The feeling of being poisoned was nothing like what she had seen in martial arts films.
While speaking, Ye Tian took out silver needles he carried with him and began to gently insert them into Bai Lan’s body.
The needling technique used for detoxification differed from that used for treating gynecological issues, which only required needling around the lower abdomen, such as the buttocks or lower belly…
But to detoxify Bai Lan, it was necessary to first block various acupoints on her body to prevent the toxins from spreading throughout her body during the expulsion process.
In no time, Bai Lan’s upper body was filled with needles, each one inserted into a critical acupoint.
Because the acupoints were blocked, Bai Lan was not feeling comfortable.
It felt as if hundreds of ants were biting her all over.
Ye Tian was completely focused.
He placed his palm on Bai Lan’s stomach, and then, a powerful energy entered her body from her navel…
With her body full of needles and the force of Ye Tian’s energy entering, Bai Lan felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to twist her body.
“Don’t move!
Moving now would undo all our efforts!”
Ye Tian cautioned, and Bai Lan had to try her best to control herself and keep from moving.
