Chapter 666: The Real Cause of Poisoning
Seeing how worried he was about her, Song Yinyin actually felt amused.She shook her head with a smile, saying, "I’m fine, much better now. But what about you? You didn’t get hurt, did you? I remember those people seemed to be pointing guns at you..."
She lowered her head to check his body.
Fortunately, there was nothing, and Lu Jihan also shook his head to deny it: "I’m perfectly fine, but you were thrown to the ground by them, your knee got scratched, and you had a mild concussion. Are you okay now?"
Mild concussion?
No wonder my head feels dizzy...
Song Yinyin rubbed her head, saying, "I’m not badly hurt."
She remembered President Shi Mai’er and quickly asked, "By the way, how is President Shi Mai’er?"
"He’s fine, but he’s still in the hospital."
Hearing this, Song Yinyin nodded, finally feeling relieved.
She still remembered that before fainting, a high official from S Country received a phone call, and then she was released.
Who called that person? Why did they release her so easily?
Curiously, she asked, "Before I fainted, I remember that high official from S Country received a call and then let us go... Why did they suddenly let us go?"
"Because the real reason for President Shi Mai’er’s poisoning has been discovered: it’s snake venom."
Lu Jihan explained.
"Snake venom?!"
Song Yinyin was astonished, "How could it be snake venom? Is it serious?"
"Severe snake venom, even just a few tenths of a gram, is a lethal poison, but the amount President Shi Mai’er ingested was extremely small and detected in time, so it’s not fatal."
Lu Jihan frowned, narrowing his keen eyes slightly.
Then, he slowly explained:
"There are several types of snake venom. One is hemotoxic venom, which causes the injured area to swell, harden, bleed continuously, severe pain, and the skin to turn purplish-black. It can spread to the head, neck, limbs, and waist and back in 6-8 hours."
Recalling the situation, Song Yinyin said, "I remember President Shi Mai’er didn’t show signs of bleeding uncontrollably, swelling, or his skin turning purplish-black at the time..."
Lu Jihan nodded, "So, hemotoxic snake venom is ruled out."
Then, he further analyzed, "The second type is mixed venom, causing local redness and swelling, fever, pain, and possible necrosis. After the toxin is absorbed, the systemic symptoms are severe and complex, with both neurological symptoms and blood circulation toxin damage, which may leave sequelae..."
Song Yinyin shook her head after listening: "No, it’s not this one either."
With a hum, Lu Jihan continued, "There’s also neurotoxic venom, where the local symptoms are not obvious after being bitten, little bleeding, mild redness, and swelling. However, severe systemic symptoms appear within a few hours, with the patient feeling restless and anxious, moaning in pain, experiencing muscle tremors, foaming at the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and breathing, eventually lying down with convulsions..."
Song Yinyin remembered the scene and suddenly widened her almond eyes.
"I remember President Shi Mai’er didn’t have any bleeding marks at the time, but his entire body was trembling, he was foaming at the mouth, and had difficulty swallowing..."
"That’s right!"
Lu Jihan picked up where Song Yinyin left off, a sharp glimmer of cold sweat in his eyes:
"It was precisely this kind of neurotoxic snake venom that poisoned President Shi Mai’er. But it takes several hours for this toxin to take effect, and external injuries aren’t obvious, making it hard to detect in a short time."
