Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"I'm still the same, I guess, having been continuously fighting for my career these past few years, so, I basically haven't given my personal life any thought."

"That won't do, you're not getting any younger. You must at least count as a member of the eligible bachelors, right? I bet there's a line of people wanting to date you." Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"It's not that exaggerated, no one is really chasing after me. Besides, I haven't met the right person and I always can't forget the relationships from the past."

She spoke with profound meaning, and while she said this, she deliberately looked up to see Lin Yi sitting across from her.

Lin Yi, on his part, felt somewhat awkward.

After all, they had been passionately in love before, so now, when they met, he always felt unable to maintain the sense of normalcy expected between friends.

However, Lin Yi certainly had no other thoughts. He knew that he had to put the past behind him, and he would definitely not do anything to wrong Han Xuewei.

"I've told you before, what's past is past. Moreover, one can try to regain old memories, but lost feelings are definitely irretrievable."

"I know, you're scared, aren't you? Scared I'll snatch you away from your wife?"

"Haha, you still love to joke."

In the lull of their reminiscence, a dish of sour cabbage fish had been brought to the table.

"I didn't expect it to look exactly the same as before, and the taste is still the same."

"Come on, try it while it's hot. That's when it tastes best; it's just been drizzled with a layer of oil."

"Yeah, I know."

As she spoke, Li Jingwen couldn't wait to take her chopsticks, then picked up a bite and gently placed it in her mouth.

A look of satisfaction immediately appeared on her face.

"Hmm, it really hasn't changed at all, and it suddenly takes me back to the lifestyle of several years ago."

"Yeah, it hasn't changed at all, and this taste feels very, very familiar to me."

"Not bad at all. This meal you treated me to today was really worth it. Good, really good."

"By the way, there's something that's been on my mind for 5 years, and I've always wanted to ask you."

"Oh, ask me? What do you want to ask?"

Having said that, Li Jingwen put down her chopsticks and looked at him earnestly.

"Do you remember our teacher from back then?"

"Oh, I remember. But hasn't he passed away?"

"Yes, indeed he has. But all these years, I've never been able to let it go. I always felt that there was something odd about his death."

"Odd? What's so odd about it?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems unrelated to his illness."

"No way, you, a pharmacist, and now you're playing doctor too?"

"I don't know, but ever since that time, I occasionally think of something. You were the last one to see him, and I wonder if there's anything else that might be suspicious?"

"No, although I was the last to see him, I wasn't the only one there. After celebrating his birthday, we all left, didn't we?"

"But he was fine before then, and I asked his wife; he was taking his medications regularly. So why did he suddenly die?"

This was a knot in Lin Yi's heart that he couldn't untangle.

Because on that night, Lin Yi was unable to attend the teacher's birthday due to something that came up last minute. And because of this, he never saw him again, which to this day he regretted.

Lin Yi knew he couldn't bring him back to life, so the only thing he could do was to investigate the true cause of his death.

"Maybe it was some acute symptoms brought on by the illness?"

"I remember he was buried soon after, right?"

"Right, he should have been buried. Besides, didn't they ask the attending doctor? Based on his other medical indicators, it was probably heart failure that he died from."

"Hmm, I remember that, and indeed he did have the tests done. But, I've seen reports saying that the chances of this disease leading to heart failure are really less than 1%, and over two years, I found a more suspicious point."

"Oh, what's that?"

"The teacher had liver disease, and also cirrhosis."

"Yeah, cirrhosis isn't unusual; many people develop this condition as they age."

"True, cirrhosis isn't fatal, but if a patient with this illness was also suffering from cirrhosis, their heart should have been fine."

"Are you suggesting he shouldn't have died from heart failure, but all the physiological evidence at the time pointed to it?"

"I just feel that it's all very strange, so I want to know what exactly happened that night, and how many people were there?"

"Let me think... you've got me trying to remember... I think there were 5 people, all classmates from our class. Do you remember them?"

"Oh, I know who they were."

"Yes, them. Is there a problem?"

"What did you guys eat that night?"

"What we ate? All the dishes were made by our teacher's wife."

"After eating those dishes, did anyone have any reactions?"

"Reactions? I didn't have any."

At this point, Li Jingwen just slightly furrowed her brows.

Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind, and she widened her eyes and put down her chopsticks.

"What happened, did you remember something?"

After reading this, he suddenly became tense and looked at her, asking.

"Now that you mention it, I really did remember something. Indeed, two people got sick with vomiting and diarrhea after they returned."

"Two people got sick?"

"Right, two people got sick, but the other three didn't have any issue."

"That's really strange. If two people showed symptoms, it must mean they ingested the same thing. Could there have been any difference in what the four or five of you ate?"
