Chapter 782: Chapter 782

The boss is always the boss, with eyes as sharp as knives—able to see straight into the hearts of the small staff and what lurks within.

Tang Sili lifted his head and said, "Probably only three days."

"What?" Zhan Dapeng was the first to exclaim in disbelief.

Zhang Sanfeng, who sat in his wheelchair, turned pale once again and snapped at Tang Sili, "You didn’t mention this to me just now!"

Xiao Yebai’s eyes had already narrowed into slits.

The royal medical professor he had hired was definitely beyond comparison to any ordinary doctor, even those who studied poisons at research institutes couldn’t compete with him.

Indeed, Tang Sili might not be able to immediately identify the specific poison, but as the most skilled clinical doctor in the field, he could make the most realistic and accurate medical forecast regarding the body’s reaction to poisons and their potential progression.

Based on his recent examination and observation of the patient, he could preliminarily deduce that while Mrs. Gu had a strong constitution, facing such a potent poison, it was feared that without locating the antidote in time, three days would be her limit.

"During this period, I will continue to try various detoxification methods based on my past experience, but since I have never encountered this type of poison before and I am unsure whether an antidote exists in the world, I can only say—I’ll do my best—"

Doctors’ words are often the most cruel and heartless, especially the phrase "do my best," which seemed like suddenly, the hot potato had been thrown back to the family and the patient. After all, a doctor is just a practitioner with medical skills, not a deity; they don’t have the power to guarantee that they can save everyone.

Everyone present was a rational adult. Logically, they could accept Tang Sili’s explanation, but emotionally, to suddenly have to come to terms with the very real possibility of Mrs. Gu’s death within three days—

Zhang Sanfeng’s hand suddenly clenched the fabric over his chest.

"Young master!" the butler voiced his concern while supporting one side of his body.

Zhang Sanfeng’s body was naturally weaker than that of an average person, particularly in terms of stress response during emergencies.

Therefore, Zhan Dapeng bent down and said to him, "Third brother, you should go rest for now; second brother and I, as well as Lao Ba, are here."

"It’s fine," Zhang Sanfeng murmured with lips that had turned a purplish hue and breathed out a turbid breath.

Xiao Yebai glanced back at the two and said, "Lao Si, you accompany Zhang San to the room; having Lao Ba here is enough. If we need more help, we’ll call Xiaolian back."

One person’s fall should not bring everyone down.

No matter what Zhang San said, Zhan Dapeng wheeled his chair toward Zhang Sanfeng’s resting bedroom.

Turning back, Xiao Yebai, in front of everyone, said to Tang Sili, "Do whatever you need to do, as you, the doctor, know best."

This statement seemed to be half-spoken, somewhat disconnected. The group was momentarily confused by it. On the contrary, it was Zhang San, holding onto his chest, who suddenly seemed to catch his breath as if given a respite.

Seeing that the boss’s words had caused Tang Sili’s brows to almost become two steep mountains, Xiao Yebai didn’t care what he was thinking and moved past him to visit his ailing mother-in-law, with the butler hurriedly helping him into the necessary protective clothing.

Tang Sili, with his head down, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, discreetly letting a hint of emotion flicker across his face.

Since Mrs. Gu’s poisoning might have been transmitted through contact, those who approached her were fully guarded and did their best to avoid touching the patient’s body or clothing.
