He Dong's request shocked everyone. Poison was not something to be taken lightly, especially in such large quantities. This was simply pushing everyone to their psychological limits.

However, He Dong had no choice. Initially, he planned to use hydrotherapy, but in the current situation, he would never have the chance to be alone with Wang Qiang. Revealing his secret in such a way made him very reluctant.

Later, he suddenly remembered that he had a venomous scorpion that fed on poison. He could identify Wang Qiang's poisoning because of the scorpion's ability to recognize various toxins. After the scorpion had its fill of poison, it would secrete a liquid that could cure all poisons. He Dong intended to use this liquid to treat Wang Qiang.

"Alright, I'll have someone prepare it for you!" Wang Haiyang looked at his son, who was lying on the hospital bed with an uncertain fate, then at He Dong, and finally made a firm decision.

Money makes things happen. After Wang Haiyang threw a large sum of money, it took only a little over half an hour for a large amount of poisons, including toxic plants and liquids, to be delivered.

Because of the special nature of the poisons, Wang Haiyang also negotiated with the hospital to temporarily occupy a sealed laboratory.

"Uncle, I need to use these poisons to prepare something. Don't let anyone disturb me during this time!" After explaining to Wang Haiyang, He Dong entered the laboratory filled with poisons.

Once inside the laboratory, He Dong did not immediately release the venomous scorpion. Instead, he thoroughly checked the entire laboratory to ensure there were no surveillance devices before releasing the scorpion.

The venomous scorpion looked similar to a regular scorpion but was much larger. He Dong could even stand on its back. Its exoskeleton was abnormally hard, emitting a dark black shine, and its tail stinger was over half a meter long.

The venomous scorpion appeared particularly excited upon appearing, circling around He Dong continuously. Although the scorpion looked terrifying, especially with its dark stinger, He Dong felt an intimate connection with it.

"Eat all of those things!" He Dong patted the scorpion's back and gave it the command without delay.

Seeing the pile of poisons, the scorpion became even more excited. It quickly approached the pile, grabbing and eating everything, whether it was liquid, solid, or gas.

While the scorpion ate happily, He Dong focused on the stinger, which was about half a meter long. As He Dong watched, a drop of liquid, the size of a soybean and as white as milk, appeared at the tip of the stinger.

"Great!" Seeing the drop of liquid, He Dong excitedly shouted and immediately took out a test tube to collect the milky white liquid.

After collecting the drop, He Dong did not leave immediately. There were still many poisons left, and the scorpion was still eating. He Dong decided to take this opportunity to collect more of the antidote liquid.

One drop, two drops, three drops... It was unclear whether it was because Wang Haiyang had prepared too many poisons or if the scorpion had a high production rate, but when all the poisons were consumed, He Dong had collected eight drops of the antidote. After using one drop for Wang Qiang, he would still have seven.

"Alright, you've had your fill. I'll treat you to another feast next time!" He Dong patted the scorpion encouragingly and then returned it to the pet space.

He then carefully checked the laboratory to ensure he left no traces before leaving with the test tube, feeling very excited.

"How did it go?" He Dong had been in the laboratory for over an hour, during which the Wang family was in agony. When they saw He Dong come out, Wang Haiyang and Wang Haiming asked simultaneously.

"This is the antidote I prepared. Whether it works or not, we'll see!" He Dong was very confident in the venomous scorpion from the summoning space, but to avoid suspicion, he did not make any guarantees.

"Alright, give it to Qiangqiang immediately!" Wang Haiyang said decisively.

"Wait! Mr. Wang, I think we should test the components of the antidote before giving it to your son!" Because they were contradicted by He Dong, the old experts, including Li Lao, found it hard to swallow their pride and stayed to see what He Dong would do.

"Yes, test it first. Who knows if it's an antidote or more poison!" Wang Haifen added.

"Uncle, what do you think?" This time, He Dong did not speak but looked directly at Wang Haiyang. His meaning was clear: do you trust me or them?

This choice seemed simple, but it was not easy to make. Although He Dong did not say anything, his expression told Wang Haiyang that if he trusted him, he should give the antidote to Wang Qiang. If not, there was no need to test it; He Dong would just leave.

"He Dong, can you tell me what kind of poison Qiangqiang was exposed to?" Wang Haiyang did not make an immediate decision but asked a counter-question.

"Qiangqiang was exposed to a composite poison from the tropical rainforest. This poison is formed by pouring animal venom onto toxic plants and flowers, causing symptoms such as paralysis of the nervous system and slowed blood circulation. The antidote I prepared is also a powerful poison. A normal person would die immediately if they drank it, but using poison to counter poison might be able to neutralize the poison in Qiangqiang's body!" He Dong did not reveal that the liquid could cure all poisons but described it in a way that sounded dangerous.

"What? You want to give the patient poison? This is sheer nonsense, it's murder!" Zhang Lao almost pointed at He Dong's nose.

"Haiyang, this is poison, you can't give it to Qiangqiang! This person has no good intentions; he wants to harm Qiangqiang," Wang Haifen continued to attack He Dong.

"Poison to counter poison! Poison to counter poison!" Wang Haiyang seemed not to hear the three experts and his sister. After muttering to himself for a while, he firmly said, "No need to test it, give it to Qiangqiang immediately!"

"Ah!" Wang Haiyang's decision disappointed the three experts and Wang Haifen, but He Dong smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

He Dong personally fed the antidote to Wang Qiang and then stood calmly on the side as if nothing had happened.

"You're all crazy! This is murder, I'm going to call the police!" The three experts continued to shout, but their eyes were fixed on Wang Qiang on the hospital bed.

Wang Haiyang and Wang Haiming stared at Wang Qiang's face without blinking, while Wang Haifen and Chen Yong looked particularly tense. Chen Yong's face was even distorted due to his anxiety.
