DTBS – Chapter 32
Chapter 32: Big Cat, Little Cat
Zhang Xunmeng's body stiffened. She didn't dare to divide her attention between the two people in the back seat, afraid that a slight instability would cause the car to flip over.
"Ugh~ So uncomfortable, so hot." Qin Qingshang's face was flushed. After the drug took effect, a surge of heat coursed through her body. She unconsciously tugged at her collar and the skirt clinging to her thighs.
Tao Qiuyun looked down and saw that her suit jacket had long been pulled off and thrown onto the seat in front. She raised a hand to press down the woman's restless hands and lightly coughed, "We'll be at the hospital soon, just bear with it a little longer."
"Wuwu, I can't bear it anymore, it's so uncomfortable!"
The woman in her arms whined in a hoarse voice, "Help me, Tao Qiuyun... you, you touch, touch~ Mmmph! Let go!"
Tao Qiuyun's fair fingers curled slightly, her palm pressed tightly against the woman's jaw, twisting Qin Qingshang's beautiful face. She tightened her grip, listening to the cat's whimpering, her voice slightly stiff, "Don't talk nonsense."
What did she mean, touch her? People aren't cats, you can't just touch them casually! What's more, she was also being intensely provoked. If she didn't make Qin Qingshang's face look a bit distorted, facing the plea from that face, she would really find it hard to refuse.
"You're so mean..."
Seeing that she had a moment to speak again, Tao Qiuyun raised her other hand, ruffled the woman's thick black hair, used the long hair to cover her flushed face, and then forcefully pressed her head against her own shoulder, "Good girl, isn't this touching?"
"Wuwu~" The cat was wronged and didn't want to talk to her. She opened her mouth and bit Tao Qiuyun's collarbone.
Tao Qiuyun's breath hitched, her voice slightly unsteady, "Drive faster."
Stimulated by the fluctuating volume from the back seat, Zhang Xunmeng drove to the designated hospital at top speed. Seeing Tao Qiuyun carry Qin Qingshang away, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked back at the back seat.
Fortunately, there were no inappropriate traces in the car. CEO Tao was indeed CEO Tao; she could stop herself even in this situation.
"Mama!" Seeing Tao Qiuyun carrying a woman, Tao Aiqin immediately got up from the bench and ran over, asking with concern, "What's wrong, Mama? Why isn't Mama talking?"
Tao Qiuyun looked down and replied, "It's nothing," before stepping forward to place the person onto the hospital's prepared gurney.
Qin Qingshang clung to Tao Qiuyun's neck, panting continuously. Their long hair was intertwined, and it took quite some effort to separate them.
"Things really are unpredictable, Qiuqiu. You also have a day when you become a wife-watching stone."
Su Qingxiang shook the small clump of tangled hair. Just now, due to Qin Qingshang's struggle, their hair was stubbornly stuck together, getting more and more tangled. In the end, they had to cut off that small section with scissors.
"I wonder who told me back then that she had no relationship with Qin Qingshang, and just a kiss resulted in a child." Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Su Qingxiang added another jab, "Now someone is getting angry for a beauty, huh? What, is it for the child this time too?"
"Are you done?" Tao Qiuyun's face darkened. She turned to look at her and snatched the strand of hair from her hand. "Are the medical team and lab people all here?"
"You can trust me to handle things," Su Qingxiang straightened her face. "For medical matters, you can rest assured and leave them to me. The Su family has been in this profession for generations."
"Bad guy~" The little cat ran over and hugged Tao Qiuyun's leg. "Is Mama okay? But her face is so red, and she said she's hot."
"It's nothing," Hearing this, Tao Qiuyun squatted down to talk to her. Those eyes, similar to Qin Qingshang's, made her feel a bit guilty, and she looked away, saying, "Your Mama just caught a cold wind outside and has a bit of a fever."
The little cat blinked, pointed at the red mark on the woman's collarbone, and looked very puzzled, "Then what's this?"
Heat instantly rushed to Tao Qiuyun's ears. She quickly turned her head to cover it with her hair and explained, "That was accidentally bitten by a mosquito."
"Bad guy is lying to the cat!" The little one poked her collarbone. "Mosquitoes don't have teeth! Only a pointy thing! This is a tooth mark, you're lying, bad!"
Tao Qiuyun didn't expect her to look so closely, even noticing the tooth marks. Suppressing the shame in her heart, she forced herself to say, "Okay, I... I was bitten by a cat."
"Was it an outside cat?" The little cat was shocked.
"Yes, an outside cat." Tao Qiuyun picked her up, trying to divert her attention. "Shall we take Qinqin to eat fries?"
"Wuwuwu! Auntie Xiang," Tao Aiqin struggled in her arms, reaching out to the side where Su Qingxiang was covering her mouth and snickering, and accused, "Bad guy doesn't want Qinqin anymore, she has a new cat outside!"
"Hahahaha!" Su Qingxiang couldn't hold back anymore and bent over laughing, agreeing with her, "Yes, yes, she's bad, she has a cat outside."
The cool and abstinent CEO Tao even had her tie pulled off, and the top button of her shirt was broken. It seemed quite intense, and this person didn't have the habit of installing a partition in her car. Hopefully, the driver's heart was okay.
Tao Qiuyun's face was rarely flushed, but she had to first coax her daughter, "Qinqin, be good, there's no outside cat."
"Wuwuwu, you're lying to me, you have another cat, and the other cat bites you, Qinqin doesn't bite you~"
The woman was amused by her cute tone and simply told her the truth, "It was the big cat that bit me. Besides you, my little cat, I also have a big cat, did Qinqin forget?"
"Mama bit you?"
"Yes."
"Wuwuwu! Then you must have bullied Mama, you're a bad egg, I don't want the bad bad guy to hug me!"
The little cat started to struggle.
Seeing Tao Qiuyun speechless for a moment, even the System couldn't stand it anymore, "You, why are you teasing her? She's so pitiful."
Originally a perfectly good background villain boss, she was inexplicably forced to end her single life and start raising a child, and now her wife dislikes her and her daughter scolds her. How miserable.
"I'm so frustrated!" Tao Aiqin was in tears. "I've created opportunities for them to this extent, and they haven't even triggered a kissing CG! Is there any creator more miserable than me?"
"That's it?"
"What do you know! Please, it's okay if you don't do it, but at least kiss, okay! Wuwuwu, save the child, they're like this and still won't kiss. Is the villain mom Guanyin Bodhisattva? She won't even step down from her lotus platform to look at the human world... Your wife needs you to save her with your body! Wuwuwu, Tao Qiuyun, is she even human? How can she endure this much?"
Confused by her long rant, the System comforted her, "Don't be too anxious. What if... the villain really doesn't have feelings for the female lead?"
"You're talking nonsense! I don't believe she doesn't have feelings," Tao Aiqin immediately retorted. "You're fake, but my CP is real. If you break up my CP again, I'll hit my head and die for you to see."
"6"
"CEO Tao," Fang Yu followed Tao Qiuyun to the large locust tree next to the inpatient building. "We have searched the entire venue. The syringe was found in the trash can. Fingerprint comparison shows it belongs to a male star present, named Qi Xingwu... This is his photo."
"Only one person's fingerprint was found?" Tao Qiuyun took the photo, her gaze heavy.
"Yes, only his," Fang Yu nodded. "Currently, we are questioning him about where he got this drug. He has been refusing to speak, saying we are arresting the wrong person and that he needs to wait for his lawyer."
Speaking of this, the man frowned deeply, "There are no surveillance cameras inside the venue, and no witnesses. If his lawyer insists he was framed and takes it to court..."
Tao Qiuyun's photo interrupted him. "Can this be used as evidence?"
"Who took this?" Fang Yu took the photo from her hand and flipped through it. "There's writing on it. You found out through this?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun nodded. "But I don't know who did it or why they did it."
"Do you have any leads about the person who gave you this photo?"
"It was brought by a dog," Tao Qiuyun mused. "That dog seemed... not very smart. I've already secured it. However, what I'm very concerned about is how quickly this photo arrived. I need to wait for the medical team's simulation results for further analysis of the specific timing."
The woman's expression was cold. "But this Qi Xingwu, I want him to pay the price he deserves. And where that drug came from, what the supply chain behind it is, I need answers."
"Please rest assured," Fang Yu's expression was serious. "Our police will never allow such illegal drugs to circulate. Through our investigation, we already have preliminary leads. The Tianhua City police will definitely give you and the public an explanation."
Tao Qiuyun's eyelids lifted slightly. "Captain Fang, don't use official jargon to brush me off. The packaging of this drug is special; it's definitely not ordinary black market medicine. Injectable... Tell me honestly, is there a drug trafficking organization behind this prohibited drug?"
Fang Yu was silent for a moment. When he met the woman's dark, deep eyes, he was slightly startled. He shook his head helplessly, "Director Liu told me to keep it a secret from you. He was afraid you'd worry if you knew."
"I have nothing to worry about," Tao Qiuyun's expression showed no fluctuation. "I have already arranged a comprehensive examination for my wife, and I have the results now. Besides being weak, she is fine."
"Then I can report back to Director Liu," Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is a blessing in disguise," The woman's gentle voice was gone, replaced by an icy, cold aura. "Captain Fang, did you find anything else at the venue?"
"Besides that dose of medicine, nothing else, it seems."
"I need a list of everyone who attended the party, a detailed one. Can I trouble Captain Fang with that?"
"...Okay, but it's very late tonight. I'll have someone compile it for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Captain Fang. I have an appointment with the doctor, so I won't see you out."
"You're too kind, CEO Tao," Fang Yu turned to leave, finally cautioning, "I understand how you feel, with something like this happening to your wife, it's natural to be furious. However... we still hope you can remain calm. Please trust the police. We will do our utmost to combat illegal drugs and criminals."
"I am a law-abiding citizen," Tao Qiuyun smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I won't do anything illegal."
"CEO Tao, drug traffickers are desperate people. It's better to leave it to the professional police to handle."
"I know that, of course," Tao Qiuyun nodded, her expression solemn. "But please, Captain Fang and the other officers, be extremely careful. Your lives are far more valuable than those maggots. The Tao Group will strongly support and cooperate with the police. Please ensure you are fully equipped when going out."
Fang Yu smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, CEO Tao. I will definitely pass it on to my colleagues in the anti-drug unit."
After seeing off Captain Fang, Tao Qiuyun turned and walked towards Qin Qingshang's attending doctor's office. Along the way, she sent several text messages.
Qi Xingwu needed to pay the price, and as for the person behind the scenes, she would certainly not let them off either...
She wasn't someone who easily took her anger out on others. Even when rumors spread about her having a lover, she could remain rational and only deal with the source, Tao Zhuohua. But this time, she lost control and childishly took her anger out on many people, starting with the party organizers.
The woman's dark eyes were deep, and her brows and the corners of her eyes were filled with anger.
How could a human truly remain completely calm? She wasn't a god! Coupled with the extreme emotional fluctuations tonight, she urgently needed an outlet to relieve her excessive frustration.
Besides, the organizers were so foolish as to not even notice someone bringing prohibited items into the venue. They deserved to be punished!
"CEO Tao, look at this area, and here," The female doctor was discussing the report with Tao Qiuyun. "Miss Qin's values fluctuated, high and low, finally stabilizing, and the content we detected in her blood is higher than the normal value."
"What does this indicate?" Tao Qiuyun frowned.
"My initial suspicion is that Miss Qin was actually given two types of drugs, but fortunately, the effect of the other drug seems to counteract some of the heat effect, which is why Miss Qin was able to maintain clear thinking until you, CEO Tao, arrived. Otherwise... she might have lost basic cognitive awareness long ago."
"She was given two drugs?" Tao Qiuyun lowered her eyes in thought. "Is there data to prove this?"
"Unfortunately, this is all just my speculation. After all, Miss Qin's test indicators are normal. It's just that I really can't figure out why she would drop below the critical point the moment the drug took effect, as if controlled by a machine, so precise."
The female doctor paused for two seconds and continued, "But if at that exact time, coincidentally, it was also the effective time of another drug, then it would make sense. However, I haven't found any evidence to prove that Miss Qin was given two drugs."
"I understand." Tao Qiuyun took the report and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Doctor. How long until she wakes up?"
"She might wake up thirsty around 4 AM," The doctor instructed her, "The fever caused her body to lose a lot of water. At that time, she needs to replenish an appropriate amount of water while conscious. During the time you're staying with her, CEO Tao, it's best to also wipe her limbs with warm water every 15 minutes."
"Okay, I've noted that."
CEO Tao stayed up until 4 AM but didn't wait for Qin Qingshang to wake up. After confirming with the doctor that she was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor: That's strange, this isn't right? But all her physical indicators are normal, weird!
Only the System knew that this was all because Tao Aiqin, when being dragged away by Tao Qiuyun to sleep, had used the System item 【Moisturizing Water】 on the unconscious Qin Qingshang.
【Moisturizing Water】: Replenishes moisture, ensures perfect complexion and condition~
