"Why do you think these people attack pregnant women who are giving birth?" Zheng Miao asked in confusion while sitting at the table peeling beans.
Yan Ruoyu had just recovered from her serious injury. She was half lying on the recliner behind her and answered weakly: "Maybe it's to get the Zihe car to treat the poison..."
Zheng Miao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she shouted in disbelief: "Could some of them have been poisoned by the glowing bat?"
Yan Ruoyu looked out the window in a daze, sighed quietly for a while and said: "Probably..."
I don’t know how long it took, but it suddenly started raining outside the house. Zheng Miao put down the beans in her hand, stood up and closed the window, then went to the inner room to get a thin blanket for Yan Ruoyu to cover her legs.
Yan Ruoyu looked at Zheng Miao and said with a smile: "You go and do your work, I'll squint for a while..."
After that, she pulled the thin blanket up a little, then closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.
Su Qiqi ran in holding an umbrella. When she saw Yan Ruoyu sleeping, she quickly stepped lightly and said to Zheng Miao, "Wanrou, is Ruoyu feeling better?"
Zheng Miao nodded and said with a smile: "It's much better than the past few days... I'll be able to walk on my own in a few days..." After saying that, he paused, as if he remembered something, and asked again: "That's right. , has the murderer who attacked the pregnant woman been caught?”
Looking at her expectant eyes, Su Qiqi's expression darkened a little, and she said a little disappointed: "Not yet, the murderer is very cunning. We have been squatting for several days and haven't even seen a shadow..."
"Sister, don't be discouraged. Maybe we can catch those thieves tonight..." Zheng Miao comforted her, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, then said to Zheng Miao: "Please take care of Ruo Yu more, I will go to the front street to patrol again..."
Su Qiqi and others patrolled day and night for several days, and finally made some progress in the attack on the pregnant woman.
An escort sent news that another pregnant woman was attacked in the north of the city. Fortunately, the secretly guarding escort discovered it in time and saved the pregnant woman. It's just that the pregnant woman was frightened and her mental state was very poor, so she couldn't ask about the murderer for the time being.
Su Qiqi solicited the opinions of the pregnant woman's family and took the pregnant woman and her husband to the escort agency to stay temporarily. She personally guarded them until the murderer showed up.
In the middle of the night, Su Qiqi heard an unusual noise in the pregnant woman's room next door. She woke up Qin Chuan, who was napping by the window, and the two quietly came to the door of the next door together.
The pregnant woman's screams came from inside the house, and the two broke the door and entered. The pregnant woman's husband was seen holding a chair to confront the murderer. One of his arms was scratched and red blood oozed out. The pregnant woman collapsed on the ground, shivering and crying out of breath.
Seeing Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan come in, the murderer kicked the pregnant woman's husband and quickly escaped through the window beside him.
Qin Chuan asked Su Qiqi to stay and comfort the pregnant woman, while he climbed out of the window to chase the murderer.
The two chased each other for a long time. Qin Chuan finally stopped the murderer and took off the murderer's mask. When he saw the murderer's true face, he showed an extremely shocked expression and froze on the spot. The murderer took the opportunity to escape over the wall.
When Su Qiqi arrived, Qin Chuan came back to his senses. He glanced at Su Qiqi with a complicated expression and hesitated to speak.
Su Qiqi also had a frightened expression on her face and said: "I just saw my second brother by the sweet-scented osmanthus tree... But when I called him, he ignored me and ran straight over here..."
"Ah? Did you see your second brother just now? When did it happen?" Qin Chuan looked at Su Qiqi dumbfounded, and then looked at the wall next to him.
Su Qiqi nodded and continued: "Yes, just now, he had a strange expression... as if he was possessed by something evil..."
"Isn't he masked?" Qin Chuan asked.
"No...you saw a masked second brother of mine?" Su Qiqi asked in surprise.
Qin Chuan was even more confused. He thought to himself: In terms of time, it is impossible for Su'er and himself to see two slightly different Nangong Yu at the same time! How is this going? Could it be that someone pretended to be Nangong Yu and got in?
In the escort agency's observation tower. After Nangong Yu returned to his room, he sat blankly on the chair for a long time before gradually waking up. He seemed to have no memory of what had just happened, but looking at the mud marks on his feet and the little blood marks on his sword, he could already guess a few things.
I must have been suffering from an old poison just now, and was controlled by the leader of the Ye You Alliance to commit murder... Damn it! We can no longer let them use him and Nangong Yue for evil... We must find a way to remove the remaining poison from the body as soon as possible, so that the conspiracy of the leader of the Yeyou Alliance can be completely shattered!
Thinking of this, he slowly walked to the bed, took off his shoes and went to bed, and sat down quietly to exercise. He tried several times in succession, but the air flow in his body was always blocked halfway through, unable to condense into the Dantian...
He stopped practicing in frustration and walked around the room anxiously.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Nangong Yu asked in a deep voice: "Who?"
The person outside replied: "I'm Xiaochuan, can I come in?"
After hearing this, Nangong Yu opened the door and let Qin Chuan in. The two looked at each other and sat down at the table in tacit understanding.
Qin Chuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother Yu, I offended you so much just now...I wonder if Brother Yu is feeling better now?"
Nangong Yu waved his hand and said calmly: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly felt like I was possessed by an evil spirit and went out in a daze. I don't know if I caused any trouble for the escort agency again..."
Qin Chuan hesitated and said: "Well... I just came to ask Brother Yu something..." After saying that, he glanced at Nangong Yu and asked cautiously: "Is the poison in your body not completely removed? ?”
Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, I have been very confused these past few days. My mind is sometimes sober and sometimes chaotic, and the operation of my internal energy is always interrupted inexplicably..."
"Oh? Is this true for Brother Yue?" Qin Chuan nodded slightly, then raised his head thoughtfully and asked.
Nangong Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "The same is true for Xiaoyue... His situation seems to be more serious... Sometimes he wakes up after being comatose for several days..."
Nangong Yu thought of his brother who was still lying in the next room, and sighed sadly. Then the two communicated for a while. At this point, Qin Chuan somewhat understood the intentions of Yeyou League. They wanted to use the remaining toxins to control Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue to act as puppets to help commit crimes. In this way, not only can it be easier to get close to the victim, but it can also be blamed on the Weiyuan Escort Agency.
After learning the truth, Qin Chuan showed a look of resentment. After thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart, patted Nangong Yu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Brother Yu, I will definitely catch that despicable bastard and bring the real person to justice." I'll bring you the antidote..."
Nangong Yu glanced at Qin Chuan gratefully, and then warned: "You have to be more careful yourself and don't force your way into Ye You League's territory... Their methods are too vicious..."
Qin Chuan nodded, chatted for a few more words, and then left the room. Nangong Yu sat alone at the table and continued drinking tea, seemingly still full of thoughts.
When Qin Chuan passed by the window of the room, he saw Nangong Yu's sad look. He couldn't bear it and didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly walked to the next room to visit Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue seemed to have just taken medicine and was sleeping soundly. Mrs. Nangong and Mrs. Cui looked on.
Qin Chuan chatted with the two old ladies for a few words, and then returned to his room.
Ning'er and Zheng Miao have moved back to the side courtyard where the Qin family lives. Their room is only separated from Qin Chuan's room by a wall, making it easier for them to take care of each other.
Qin Hannian and the gold medal bodyguard Lv Bodyguard lived in the opposite room, the other bodyguards lived in the side rooms on both sides, and the servants and maids lived in the back room.
A number of temporary sentries and observation towers were also set up around the courtyard, with bodyguards taking turns on duty at night.
During this period, although Su Qiqi ordered people to put up notices to suspend business, there were still some customers coming from other places. Su Qiqi was embarrassed to refuse, and occasionally took some short-distance jobs.
