Ruan Qing actually saw through Yang Chenjin’s intention to knock him out when he was about to do so, so he pretended to be unconscious.
Initially, he hoped to catch some clues but unexpectedly overheard all this.
In this situation, Ruan Qing could only continue to feign unconsciousness, fearing that the conflict would spread to him.
After all, this whole situation originated because of him.
The atmosphere in the study on the fourth floor of the Yang family villa was extremely eerie at this moment, as if even the air had solidified.
People subconsciously held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Yang Chenyan and Yang Chenjin stood facing each other, their eyes seemingly tainted with poison, both wearing fake smiles that didn’t reach their eyes.
As for Yang Wenmin, he held the young man and looked at the two with an inscrutable expression, his face remaining unchanged throughout.
As if he was just an outsider.
Yang Chenjin, having just lost a considerable amount of strength and being emotionally stirred by Yang Wenmin, found it difficult to control himself. His self-control was naturally not as strong as usual.
Offending Yang Chenyan at this moment was definitely not a wise choice.
After all, he still needed to cooperate with Yang Chenyan.
Moreover, with Yang Chenyan here, the two of them might be able to resist Yang Wenmin together.
There was no need to retreat.
Yang Chenjin smiled apologetically at Yang Chenyan, “Sorry, Third Brother, I was a bit careless with my words.”
He rubbed his forehead with some regret. “I guess I consumed a lot of energy just now, so I lost my composure.”
“Third Brother, you should understand.”
“I don’t know,” Yang Chenyan smirked. “Losing composure is not as good as being a beast like you, my dear second brother.”
“Third Brother, you really misunderstand me. I am not the kind of person who would casually defame his third brother. Just now, I truly couldn’t control my emotions and got a bit dizzy.” Yang Chenjin’s expression of apology became even more sincere.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, a faint coughing sound interrupted them.
All three turned to look at the person coughing.
The one coughing was Ruan Qing.
He had felt a slight itch in his throat just now, wanting to cough.
Due to the current situation not being suitable, he forcibly suppressed the urge to cough.
However, the desire to cough became stronger and stronger, until Ruan Qing couldn’t control it anymore and coughed uncontrollably.
Then, once again, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The bloodstains flowing from the corners of his mouth directly dyed his shirt red.
It even stained Yang Wenmin’s gray pajamas.
Ruan Qing didn’t have time to react; after spitting out the blood, his vision darkened, and this time, he truly fainted.

The doctors were brought by Yang Chenyan and, for convenience, stayed in the room next to Ruan Qing’s.
After nightfall, they didn’t feel comfortable staying with the patient, mainly because the frightening man didn’t allow it.
So, they stayed next to the patient’s room.
Initially, they were unaware of any danger in the villa. Even if they heard from other guests, it didn’t feel too real.
But in the evening, they witnessed the horrifying blood-colored vines and the dreadful blood shadows.
And because they were very close to Ruan Qing’s room, they felt more fear than the other guests.
The timid doctor fainted at the impact of the vines against the window.
The doctors, who didn’t faint, were scared stiff, unable to muster the strength to leave the room.
However, this inadvertently saved their lives.
After all, if they had run out, they might have already died at the hands of those mysterious blood shadows.
Just as the doctors were nervously watching the door and window, the sound of kicking the door came directly from the entrance.
The doctors were directly frightened, sitting on the ground, trembling as they watched the kicked-open door. Their widened eyes were filled with fear.
However, the one who entered was not the blood-red monster but the man who had tied them up here.
Yang Chenyan walked in slowly, dragging the doctors into the adjacent room.
The doctors were full of fear, thinking that Yang Chenyan intended to kill them.
However, when they saw the blood-stained young man on the bed, they understood what was happening and calmed down a bit.
The doctor, who was initially a guest, was much calmer than the other doctors.
He went directly forward to check the situation of the young man on the bed.
The young man had not eaten much before because the medicine was too unpleasant, so the situation was not optimistic.
The toxin of the ‘Morning Dawn Flower’ was really too potent.
If it were an ordinary person’s constitution, they might survive for two or three more months, but the young man’s constitution was just too weak.
In less than two days, the toxin had been wreaking havoc on his body.
Medication had to be taken to suppress it.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say if he could even make it to the funeral five days later.
At night in the Yang family villa, apart from guests and the three members of the Yang family’s direct line, almost no one could maintain their composure.
Even the servants and bodyguards were the same.
So, they had to prepare the medicine themselves.
Making the medicine wasn’t difficult, but ensuring it was palatable was too challenging.
To mitigate the taste of the medicine, it had to be mixed with other dishes; otherwise, even if swallowed, it would probably be vomited out.
The three members of the Yang family couldn’t cook, but luckily there was a doctor who could manage.
The doctor followed Yang Chenjin downstairs, and his figure seemed to be trembling slightly.
Afraid that some eerie blood shadow would emerge from somewhere.
But when they reached the kitchen, there was no sign of anyone. The doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
In places where the Yang family’s direct line was present, blood shadows dared not come.
Although the Yang family’s collateral line would lose their minds at night, they instinctively feared the direct line of the Yang family.
Even at night, they would subconsciously avoid them.
This was also why the blood shadows dared not go to the fourth floor of the main mansion.
The doctor knew that the young man had requested fresh vegetables to be stewed together before, but there were no fresh vegetables in the kitchen at the moment.
He could only try with other ingredients first.
The doctor experimented with various foods that wouldn’t clash with the medicinal herbs, and in the end, settled on using eggs.
Only egg custard could somewhat cover the taste of the herbs.
However, Ruan Qing was currently in a coma and simply could not eat.
Even forceful coercion couldn’t make it go down because it’s not a liquid.
Ruan Qing must personally swallow it.
The doctor, holding a bowl of well-cooked egg soup, looked somewhat helpless at the person lying unconscious on the bed.
Three men stood nearby, their expressions equally dreadful. The doctor didn’t dare to approach and wake the person up.
Yang Chenjin took the medicine from the doctor’s hands, sat at the bedside, and then woke up the person on the bed.
Yang Chenyan coldly glanced over, saying nothing.
After all, if he had to feed the other, he might get so angry that he would drop the medicine on the ground.
Ruan Qing felt someone touching him, and his eyelashes trembled lightly. He slowly opened his eyes.
However, as soon as he regained consciousness, he smelled that nauseating odor.
He cast a glance at the bowl in Yang Chenjin’s hands, his exquisite brows gently furrowing, and his attractive eyes conveying a resolute refusal.
