Chapter 139 If he's not ruthless, his position won't be secure.

Seeing that she had left, Xia Yuhuan had no choice but to open the box.

Inside was a set of clothes and a silk scarf, both of which looked to be of very good quality.

Xia Yuhuan took the clothes out and looked at them.

"Deng Qili has pretty good taste; this outfit should suit me quite well."

Xia Yuhuan muttered to herself and put the clothes back.

Yesterday's surgery was an accident, but it also made her see Deng Qili more clearly.

Deng Qili's initial dislike for her was genuine, and she was indeed picking fights with her, but she wasn't a bad person and had a straightforward personality.

Having incurred her favor, he immediately came to thank her and present her with a gift, showing a sincere attitude. This demonstrates that although she is arrogant and a bit haughty, her character is indeed decent.

Xia Yuhuan felt that Deng Qili was mostly being used by someone when she first started causing trouble for her.

I just don't know who this person is who is using Deng Qili, and why they dislike her and target her.

Xia Yuhuan couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She put the gift aside and went to work with peace of mind.

After getting off work, Xia Yuhuan rode her bicycle home.

Not long after she arrived home, Yan Hu rushed over, looking travel-worn.

"Xiao Huan, quick, I brought the medicinal herbs. Check if this is the one and if it's usable!"

Yan Hu handed the medicinal herbs he was holding to Xia Yuhuan, looking somewhat nervous.

The seven-day deadline has passed to the fifth day. If the medicine found is not the right one, it would be devastating news.

After all, they didn't have time to go find more medicine.

Xia Yuhuan took the box, opened it, and took out the medicinal herbs inside to look at them.

She immediately smiled and nodded: "Uncle Yan, it's this one. And the quality of this herb is very good. I estimate that only half of it is needed to achieve the detoxification effect, and the other half can be stored."

Upon hearing this, Yan Hu felt a great sense of relief.

Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya, who were standing to the side, were also very happy to hear this.

With all the medicinal herbs ready, Xia Yuhuan can now detoxify Chi Yanzhou.

The fact that Chi Yanzhou's life could be saved and that he could wake up was naturally great news for them!

"Come on, Yan Hu, you must be exhausted. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, let's go to the restaurant for dinner," Zhang Xianya hurriedly called out.

Yan Hu hadn't eaten yet and was indeed hungry, so he quickly agreed.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Mom and Dad, you two have dinner with Uncle Yan. I'll go upstairs to prepare the medicinal herbs. We'll officially detoxify Chi Yanzhou tomorrow."

"Okay, go ahead. You've really worked hard, Xiao Huan." Zhang Xianya held Xia Yuhuan's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.

She said, "When Yanzhou wakes up, make him listen to you from now on. If he dares to disobey, tell us, and Mom and Dad will help you deal with him."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Although she wasn't enthusiastic about Chi Yanzhou's obedience to her and felt that he definitely couldn't do it, it didn't stop her from agreeing with Zhang Xianya.

Xia Yuhuan went back to her room to process the medicinal herbs, while Yan Hu went to the restaurant for dinner at the invitation of Chi Shaokang and his wife.

"Old Yan, you've worked hard these past few days. I'll give you the next two days off so you can rest well," Chi Shaokang said proactively.

Yan Hu smiled and said, "It's alright, it's not hard work. Tomorrow, Xiao Huan will give Yan Zhou the antidote, and I'll come over to the house to watch over them, just in case."

“Okay, then we’ll give you leave after Yan Zhou is cured of the poison,” Chi Shaokang said.

Yan Hu smiled and agreed, then added, "By the way, boss, I saved someone on the road. You'd never guess who it was."

Chi Shaokang was surprised to hear this: "I know him?"

“I recognize him, but we’re not close. Would you like to guess who he is?” Yan Hu said.

Chi Shaokang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Xia Jianyong's wife, Li Rouyue?"

Yan Hu was immediately incredulous: "How did you know?"

"It seems Xia Jianyong has really been driven to the brink of despair. He's even willing to lay a hand on the person he's loved for many years. He's ruthless enough," Chi Shaokang remarked.

He thought of Xia Jianyong because he had just seen Li Rouyue off yesterday, and Yan Hu had rescued her on his way back to Beijing. He was just making a wild guess.

After her initial shock, Zhang Xianya said, "If Xia Jianyong wasn't ruthless, would he have gone to such lengths to seize the Xia family's property and cause their entire family to be wiped out?"

“If Xiao Huan hadn’t been so young at the time, and if he hadn’t thought Xiao Huan was nothing to worry about, and if Xiao Huan hadn’t been so lucky to have been adopted by a good person, the Xia family might have really died out.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang nodded slightly and then asked Yan Hu, "How is Li Rouyue now?"

Although they have enough evidence to try Xia Jianyong, for a villain like Xia Jianyong, there is no way he can escape any charges!

"The person is still alive. He was very weak before, but after being brought back to the capital for treatment, his condition has stabilized. The doctor said he should wake up by tomorrow at the latest."

"That's good. Xia Jianyong's side has already planned to make the arrest. She was involved in the Xia family's case and is on the list of people to be arrested. We can't let her get away," Chi Shaokang said.

Yan Hu responded with a "yes".

While they were chatting here, Xia Yuhuan was also busy preparing medicinal herbs upstairs.

By the time Xia Yuhuan finished her work, it was already past midnight.

Because she had given prior notice, no one bothered her.

Xia Yuhuan rubbed her sore neck and got up to stretch her body.

Chi Yanzhou, who was lying on the bed, was not asleep at this moment.

He had been waiting for Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan seemed to have been busy with something ever since she came in, and she didn't come to talk to him or give him a massage, which made Chi Yanzhou extremely uncomfortable.

Since the toxins in his body spread a second time, Xia Yuhuan has stopped talking to him much.

He didn't miss the daily massages, but without hearing her melodious voice like a nightingale in his ear, Chi Yanzhou felt restless and uneasy.

However, no matter how bad he is or how anxious he is, it won't change anything.

Just as Chi Yanzhou was feeling troubled, he heard Xia Yuhuan going to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, a fragrance wafted over, and the bed beside me sagged slightly under the weight.

She went to bed.

Chi Yanzhou realized this, feeling both happy and disappointed.

She still shared a bed with him, which pleased him, but her silence towards him left him feeling lost.

At this moment, Chi Yanzhou desperately longed to wake up and return to normal.

This way, he can communicate directly with his wife, discuss things face-to-face, and resolve them.

Instead of being like this now, where he can only lie helplessly in bed thinking all sorts of things, unable to utter a sound.

Xia Yuhuan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep even after finishing her work because she had been so focused earlier.

She turned to look at Chi Yanzhou: "I don't know if you're asleep right now, or if you're even conscious."

Chi Yanzhou: Honey, I'm awake, awake! Just say what you want to say, I'm listening!

Since learning that Chi Yanzhou might have regained consciousness and could hear the outside world, Xia Yuhuan stopped talking to him.

I'm afraid that I might slip up while chatting and accidentally betray myself.

"Uncle Yan has brought back the last ingredient. I have just finished processing all the ingredients, and I can give you the antidote tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou's mind went blank: So, he can wake up tomorrow?
