Su Shen turned around and saw Gu Zi looking uneasy.

He comforted her, saying, “Things can’t be rushed. Don’t worry. I’m here for you.”

Gu Zi nodded and replied, “I understand.”

However, she couldn’t comprehend why Chu Xi was so fixated on the Su family.

She had clearly taken so many things that she shouldn’t have, but she didn’t know how to restrain herself. She didn’t appear afraid of any potential consequences.

It became apparent to Gu Zi that Chu Xi was a time bomb even more challenging to deal with than initially thought.

Su Shen saw that she was still worried and didn’t try to console her further. This matter was indeed puzzling.

Su Shen asked her to take care of the child, so he would cook for her today.

Gu Zi looked at him when she heard that. “How are you going to cook when you’re injured like this?”

“This small injury is nothing. In the past, on the battlefield, I had to cook for myself even when I had bullet injuries, so don’t worry.” Su Shen said as he began preparing the meal.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi couldn’t help but admire him even more. As she stood by the door with Lele, she found herself captivated by every move he made.

He was tall, strong, and his chiseled features exuded masculinity.

His profile was striking and attractive, but he didn’t appear gentle. After all, he had a naturally cold demeanor and usually didn’t let strangers get close to him. However, what would such a cold man look like in bed?o

Gu Zi could not help but recall the beautiful muscles she saw last night. His skin was a beautiful bronze color, and her face could not help but turn red.

“Do you like stir-fried meat or boiled meat in soup?” Su Shen asked.

“This man really knows how to cook.” Gu Zi thought to herself. She raised her head and replied, “Stir-fry the meat. Do you need my help?”

“Go and rest. I’ll be done soon.” Su Shen turned around and went back to work. His movements were very agile. Because of his handsome appearance, the entire cooking process was very enjoyable to watch.

During lunch, Gu Zi was still worried. She was about to feed Su Le, but she saw bubbles under the food.

Crash!

Su Bing was about to eat when his bowl was pushed away.

As Su Li ate hurriedly, Gu Zi, too, rushed to grab the bowl. Unfortunately, she knocked it to the ground, and it shattered into little pieces.

Everyone was left baffled, not understanding Gu Zit s actions.

“The food is contaminated. Don’t eat any more,” Gu Zi said, placing Su Le on the ground for Su Shen to watch over the baby.

She inspected everyone’s food. There was nothing wrong with her and Su Shen’s bowls, except for the strange white bubbles in the bowls that the three children usually ate from.

Su Shen would never hurt these three children, so it was not difficult to tell what Chu Xi had done.

Her heart suddenly sank. If Su Shen hadn’t been at home today and hadn’t cooked, she could have been wrongly accused as the one who poisoned the children. Chu Xi was truly ruthless.

Unfortunately, Su Li had already consumed a few bites.

Su Li clutched his stomach and started to cry out in pain. Then, he started to vomit.

Su Bing looked in horror at his brother, who was once again poisoned by food. His entire body trembled and he almost fainted from the trauma.

Gu Zi quickly patted Su Bing’s back to calm him down. She knew that Su Bing was deeply frightened.

Su Shen picked up his youngest son and hurried out of the house.

Su Li was sent to the hospital in the city for emergency treatment.

Gu Zi waited outside with the two children, while Su Shen took the items Gu Zi had brought along with her to the Chinese medicine department.

An elderly Chinese doctor examined the contaminated bowl of rice and shook his head, stating, “Mr. Su, whoever did this is extremely vicious. This is a powdered substance made from dried poisonous mushrooms, which causes abdominal pain, vomiting, and hallucinations.”

While not necessarily fatal, few people would dare to ingest such a substance. The fact that someone had used it to harm others was truly disturbing.

“Please come with me to the police station,” Su Shen said.

The elderly Chinese doctor responded, “It is my pleasure to assist you, Mr. Su. Let’s go.”

After some time, Su Li was wheeled out of the emergency room. Su Bing rushed to his side, breathing a sigh of relief when the nurse assured him that his brother was okay.

Gu Zi patted Su Bing’s back and reassured him, saying, “Su Bing, everything is fine now, alright? Su Li will be better soon.”

Meanwhile, at Chu Xi’s house, Chu Xi was in a rush, with no time to rest. Simultaneously, she endured her father-in-law’s scolding. He remarked, “I didn’t see you all morning. If I didn’t know any better, I would think you went out to steal a man.”

Her mother-in-law also taunted her, saying, “You can’t do anything right. You even got fired from a job as a nanny. Worthless worm.”

Chu Xi ignored them, secretly anticipating the day when she could regain her job, thinking, “Once I get my job back, I’ll see who dares to treat me like this.!
