Because the Yang family didn’t have much medical equipment here, a doctor, trembling with raised hands, suggested sending the person to the hospital for treatment.
However, Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan refused.
Even though the doctor mentioned that the best treatment could be obtained at the hospital, they still declined.
The doctors couldn’t quite understand what the two were thinking; they seemed to care deeply about the young man but were unwilling to send him to the hospital.
Clearly, one could live longer in the hospital.
With their disagreement, the doctors had no choice.
In the end, they had to follow the wishes of the two and prepare a detailed list of the items needed for treatment.
Yang Chenyan left the villa with those lists.
Apparently, he was going to purchase the items on the list.
After confirming that Ruan Qing wouldn’t die within the next six days, Yang Chenjin also left the room.
It was unclear what he was up to.
Ruan Qing waited for about ten minutes, ensuring that the two had indeed left before opening his eyes.
He looked weak, just regaining consciousness.
Though he was genuinely weak at the moment, his complexion was very pale.
There was no need for him to pretend.
Several doctors, seeing the person on the bed opening his eyes, nervously asked, “Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?”
“Can you still breathe? Is there any sensation of suffocation?”
The doctors were all on edge, fearing that Ruan Qing might stop breathing at any moment.
In reality, Ruan Qing wasn’t weak to that extent. He shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
However, despite Ruan Qing’s assurance, the doctors didn’t ease up and insisted on rechecking him.
After rejecting their offers a few times, Ruan Qing had to allow the doctors to examine him.
But after the doctors confirmed that he was indeed fine, they still didn’t permit him to get out of bed.
The ‘Morning Dawn Flower’ poison affected internal organs but didn’t significantly impair mobility. Ruan Qing’s coughing up blood was mainly due to his weak constitution.
Yet the doctors still wouldn’t let him leave the bed.
If he insisted on going down, the doctors would cry in front of him, completely disregarding their own image.
Several of the doctors were quite old, crying miserably, making it difficult for Ruan Qing to cope.
In the end, Ruan Qing could only obediently lie down in bed.
However, after lying in bed for an hour, he really couldn’t lie down any longer.
In a terrifying instance, instead of searching for clues, lying here seemed like waiting for death no matter how one looked at it.
Moreover, it seemed that Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan had some conspiracy. If he didn’t come up with a countermeasure, he might really be unable to leave the instance.
The doctors probably thought that Ruan Qing’s mood could affect his body. After Ruan Qing repeatedly complained, they finally agreed to let him get out of bed.
However, they followed him step by step.
Wherever Ruan Qing went, they followed. As soon as he showed a hint of discomfort or wanted to do something, the doctors looked tense.
Even if he went downstairs, the doctors acted as if he was on the brink of death.
Ruan Qing had no chance to investigate any clues.
Also, for some reason, Yang Chenjin and Yang Chenyan seemed to have given some order, seeing how even the Yang family’s servants looked nervous.
As if he was a porcelain doll that would shatter with a touch, they wished to keep him on the bed and not let him move.
They even broke the rule of not eating anything other than during mealtime.
Because Ruan Qing hadn’t eaten breakfast and lunch, the servants immediately prepared food.
The style was completely different, all suitable for a patient like Ruan Qing.
It seemed tailored to his body condition, filled with detoxifying and toxin-suppressing ingredients.
However, perhaps in pursuit of the detoxification effect, they didn’t consider the taste.
Ruan Qing took a bite. Extremely disgusting.
He had never eaten such nauseating food before, and he couldn’t even swallow the one bite he forced himself to take.
The steward tried to persuade him, but Ruan Qing really couldn’t eat it, so he had to give up.
Ruan Qing felt a bit of a headache being watched by a group of people. After staying in the hall for a while, he walked out of the villa’s building.
Ruan Qing wanted to explore the garden for an opportunity, to see if he could shake off the group of people.
After all, the garden was filled with numerous flowers, plants, and trees, making it easy to obstruct the line of sight and presumably shake off pursuers.
However, as soon as Ruan Qing stepped out of the villa, he was stunned.
Where were the flowers? Where were the plants?
And the trees...?
The vast garden was desolate, not even a trace of weeds could be found.
Completely devoid of the previous flourishing scene with blooming flowers.
If not witnessed with his own eyes, no one would believe that a few hours ago, this garden was as picturesque as a painting.
Ruan Qing indeed contracted the poison from the ‘Morning Dawn Flower’. He had noticed this particular flower when investigating for clues yesterday.
He hadn’t seen this flower before, and it seemed to be a unique species in this particular instance.
Ruan Qing accidentally touched it and discovered its terrifying nature.
So, he casually plucked a leaf and hid it in his clothes.
When Ruan Qing pretended to be unconscious, he heard Yang Chenjin’s words, “Pull out all the poisonous flowers and plants in the Yang family villa.”
But did they have to pull them all out so thoroughly...?
Although he didn’t recognize the ‘Morning Dawn Flower’, Ruan Qing was familiar with many plants planted here before, and they were not poisonous at all.
However, whether poisonous or not, none survived.
Even the trees were uprooted, leaving only unfilled pits.
In just a few hours, the entire vast Yang family estate was devoid of any trace of greenery.
The steward cleared his throat, looking at Ruan Qing’s stunned expression. In fact, there were some lingering small grasses half an hour ago.
But they were just too unsightly, better off removed.
He decided to have all the servants pull them out.
Ruan Qing looked at the garden, and not a single plant was spared. The entire garden, except for the fountain and artificial mountain, could be seen at a glance.
There’s nowhere to hide at all.
It’s impossible to shake off the people who had been staring at him.
Ruan Qing fell silent for a few seconds, then turned and went back to his room.
He decided to try entering the body of that male player.
The doctors breathed a sigh of relief as Ruan Qing obediently lay back on the bed, their actions quiet and stealthy.
To prevent disturbing the person.
***
After lying back on the bed, Ruan Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene had changed.
It seemed to be inside a villa.
Not only the male player but also two other players were nearby.
It was the vice president and the player with a crew cut.
Ruan Qing carefully examined his surroundings through the male player’s perspective, and the layout seemed unfamiliar.
Due to the angle and field of view, Ruan Qing couldn’t determine which villa of the Yang family this was.
The male player was looking towards the player with a crew cut and the vice president not far away.
