Chapter 293-294

Chapter 293: Overdose! ... In the spacious courtyard of the beautiful villa, the butler was watering the lawn and the flowers. When he saw that Zhao Yumo had brought her classmate home, he quickly put down the hose and walked over. “The eldest lady is back. And you’ve brought a guest. Please come inside.” “Uncle Lin, you don’t need to worry about us. I’ve asked my classmate to come home to do homework with me and stay for dinner as well. You just keep on doing your thing.” Zhao Yumo took Yun Xi into the house. There was no one in the house except the housekeeper, who was preparing to cook dinner. “Auntie, I’ve brought my classmate back to do homework with me today. I’ve invited her to dinner. Can you prepare a meal for one more person, please?” “Of course.” The housekeeper had come out of the kitchen and glanced at Yun Xi. Seeing that she was dressed nicely, she asked tentatively, “Miss, which family is this child from?” “Yun Xi is from one of the families in the villa complex. You wouldn’t know her, anyway. Please hurry and cook! We are hungry after an entire day of class.” “I’ll cut some fruit for you two to eat now, all right?” Zhao Yumo glanced at Yun Xi and nodded. “Okay. I’ll wait for you.” The housekeeper glanced at Yun Xi and then turned around and went into the kitchen. Yun Xi whispered in Zhao Yumo’s ear, “Is she your second uncle’s private spy?” Zhao Yumo nodded and gave her a thumbs-up gesture. After a while, the housekeeper came out carrying a plate of fruit, and Zhao Yumo took the fruit plate. “Auntie, please prepare dinner quickly. I rarely have classmates come over, and I don’t want to neglect such a precious guest.” “Okay, I understand...” “We’ll go upstairs to do our homework, and you can call us when dinner is ready.” “Okay.” Once they’d gotten upstairs, Zhao Yumo took Yun Xi to her grandfather’s room right away. Pushing open the door, Yun Xi got a whiff of the unpleasant scent of medicine. With the curtains of the room drawn, the room was dark and stuffy with no fresh air at all. Closing the door, Yun Xi stepped forward and looked at the sleeping old man. He had probably been lying sick in this bed for a long time. His entire body was emaciated. After moving a chair and making eye gestures at Zhao Yumo, Yun Xi sat at his side as she pulled out the old man’s hand from under the quilt to quietly check his pulse. Looking at her carefully, Zhao Yumo stood behind the door holding the fruit plate. After taking his pulse, Yun Xi figured out what was going on with his heart, and her suspicions were confirmed. “Where is the medicine? Where did they put it?” Zhao Yumo pointed to the bedside table beside her and whispered, “They are all locked up. The housekeeper has the key. What should I do? Do you want me to steal the key?” Yun Xi shrugged, pulled a clip from her hair, straightened it, and carefully inserted it into the keyhole. She jimmied the lock, and the drawer opened straightaway. “Wow, Yun Xi, you are so amazing!” Zhao Yumo was full of admiration. Looking at the drawer full of medicine bottles, Yun Xi couldn’t help but gasp. “Which ones does he usually take? Or does he take them all?” “He takes them all. D*mn it! He could overdose from taking so many pills.” Yun Xi looked through the bottles of medicines, took note of all the names of the medicines, then put them back in place, and locked the drawer. “Let’s go. Let’s go to your room and talk.” Zhao Yumo nodded and dragged Yun Xi back to her room on the third floor secretly like they were two thieves. “What the h*ll is going on with my grandpa? Is he really very sick?” Yun Xi sat down in a chair with a grave expression on her face. It was the first time that she had encountered a man who was not ill but had been forced by his family to take medicine until he got sick. They had made him into a helpless old man. “Why? Is it that bad?” Zhao Yumo anxiously sat down on the side of the bed when she saw her grave expression. “To tell you the truth, your grandfather is actually not sick. Most of those medicines contain ingredients similar to those in sleeping pills. Think about it. If you’re not sick but take so many medicines, you would be in a lethargic state every day. How could he be healthy?” “D*mn it! No wonder they locked the drawers and wouldn’t let us see what medicines Grandpa took. The same doctor treated him every time. Every time I asked the doctor what was wrong with Grandpa, his answer has been the same. I want to beat them to death.” “Don’t get too worked up! Don’t get too worked up! Your second uncle and the others have planned this for a long time. If you can’t be patient regarding this matter, you will lose out.” “Then what should I do? Can you help me come up with a plan quickly?” .............. ................. .............. Chapter 294: I’m Uninterested in Human Flesh Disinfected with Alcohol ... Yun Xi asked Zhao Yumo for the name and address of the doctor who had been treating her grandfather. Then she repeated her advice about remaining calm and carrying on as usual. 　 　 Zhao Yumo’s parents had been cowardly and incompetent, so there was no point in trying to get them to do anything about this matter. The only thing the girls could do was to start with the doctor. 　 　 First of all and most importantly, they had to get him to change the old man’s medicine. If her grandfather continued taking all these pills, he was going to die sooner rather than later. 　 　 Thinking of the emaciated old man in the dark, airless bedroom, Yun Xi’s face got sullen. She could not be patient. 　 　 “I’m going right now to take care of things with that doctor. You must remember what I told you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you.” 　 　 “How are you going to deal with him? Are you going to scare him?” 　 　 “Don’t worry about it. Trust me. Just have the driver take me now.” 　 　 “Okay.” 　 　 The driver took Yun Xi straight to the gate of the villa complex. Yun Xi got out of the car and went straight to the sentry post. She asked the guard at the post and learned that Mu Feichi had gone to negotiate with his business partners today, and he hadn’t returned yet. 　 　 Yun Xi didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so she decided to wait at the sentry post. She called home to tell the housekeeper that she was eating at the Chen family’s house. 　 　 The guard saw her waiting outside and brought her a chair. 　 　 Yun Xi sat in the chair, and, using the light from the sentry post, she read a book while she was waiting. 　 　 At dinnertime, the guard at the sentry post changed shifts, and they specially brought dinner for her. 　 　 These wonderful men, ever since the video of her venturing out into Tianyu Mountain alone had circulated throughout all the sentry posts on the mountain, had begun to respect her sincerely from the bottom of their hearts. 　 　 Respecting opponents who were stronger than oneself was also one of their guidelines. 　 　 After seven o’clock, it got dark, and various insects started chirping. 　 　 Yun Xi suddenly felt such admiration for these guards who patrolled the mountains. Throughout the long nights, they had to endure loneliness as well as solitude. 　 　 This was their job’s responsibility, but she still felt that people who were so dedicated to their jobs were always worthy of respect and love. 　 　 She didn’t know how long she’d been waiting, but when the sound of a car finally sounded on the mountain road, Yun Xi raised her head and looked at the car arriving. 　 　 In the black Bentley, from a distance, Qi Yuan saw a figure sitting under the light. He quickly woke up Young Marshal Mu, who had drunk a lot of wine. 　 　 “Young Marshal Mu, it’s Miss Yun!” 　 　 When he heard these three words, Mu Feichi opened his eyes immediately. Then he frowned as he looked at the figure sitting at the sentry post. 　 　 He had the feeling that she had been waiting for quite a long time, but at least those rough guys had remembered to bring a chair for her. 　 　 “Stop!” Mu Feichi called out in a hoarse voice. He then drank a few sips of water and got out of the car, feeling completely sober now. 　 　 “Young Marshal Mu!” Yun Xi stood up and ran over. 　 　 Mu Feichi leaned on his car door and stared at the little figure running toward him with a faraway expression in his eyes. 　 　 Perhaps because he had drunk a little too much wine, there was an uncharacteristic gentleness in his laughing dark eyes. 　 　 “What? Do you miss me this much after not seeing me for one whole day?” 　 　 “...” His teasing made Yun Xi stop short. Raising her head angrily, she could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his body. 　 　 “You’ve been drinking?” 　 　 “Yep, but I’m not drunk enough to talk nonsense, and I recognize who you are clearly.” 　 　 So he’d been joking just now? 　 　 Yun Xi ignored his silly insinuations. Clutching her sleeve, she agonized over how much she should tell him. 　 　 Seeing her flustered, Mu Feichi raised his hand and flicked her forehead. “What are you thinking about? If you want to lay hands on me while I’m drunk, then I can cooperate with you and pretend to be drunk. It’s not difficult.” 　 　 Yun Xi raised her head and fired back unceremoniously, “I’m uninterested in human flesh disinfected with alcohol.” 　 　 Mu Feichi smiled. “Then what did you want to do after waiting for me all night? Why didn’t you have someone call me?” 　 　 If he’d known his little darling was waiting in the cold wind, how would he have ever had any intention of drinking and socializing with the guys? 　 　 Yun Xi raised her head, and her fiery eyes gleamed brightly under the light. 　 　 “If you aren’t drunk, then I’ll take you to a fight. Wanna go?” 　 　 “I’ll go! How many helpers do you want?” 　 　 Mu Feichi didn’t ask why she had to fight. It must be no small matter to make her wait so anxiously. 　 　 “Qi Yuan is enough. I just want you to beat up some guy so hard that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!” 　 　 “Okay, let’s go! Get in the car!”
