Meanwhile, Huo Haocheng and Huo Haojie followed Steward He back to his residence in Mao'er Hutong.

He sensed something was wrong the instant he opened the door, but it was too late.

Ruan Ruan had been waiting inside for quite some time.

She arrived here by the scent of a kitten, but Manager He had already left.

When the kitten tried to follow, Ruan Ruan had already started looking around inside the house.

The courtyard has been uninhabited for some time, and you can tell what's inside just by looking at it.

She didn't find what she was looking for. Ruan Ruan didn't think much of it and said to the kitten, "Let's not look for it anymore. He'll come back after he finishes his business."

Ruan Ruan had previously sent the kitten to inform Huo Haocheng. She believed they would take action tonight, and with Huo Haojie and his men following them outside, what was she afraid of?

So she took a chair and sat in the yard, occasionally looking up at the few stars in the sky with the kitten.

Because, just as they sensed someone returning, Ruan Ruan gave the kitten the medicine powder she was carrying, instructing him to disperse the powder the moment he opened the door.

"You're back. I've been waiting for you for a long time," Ruan Ruan said, looking at the person who was able to stand for so long despite being under the influence of her medicine.

When Steward He finally realized who was in the courtyard, he could no longer hold on and collapsed by the door, his whole body aching.

Two minutes later, the Huo brothers, Hao Cheng and Hao Jie, finally arrived and saw Manager He lying on the ground with one foot still outside the door and foaming at the mouth, and Ruan Ruan sitting in a chair, seemingly observing his reaction. The kitten was perched on the wall above their heads, doing the same thing as Ruan Ruan, tilting its head to look at the person on the ground.

"Once they're here, let's drag them in first," Ruan Ruan said to Huo Haocheng and the others. Although this courtyard was relatively secluded, it was still possible for a neighbor to suddenly appear, and it wouldn't be good if they saw it.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Huo Haocheng consciously went up and grabbed Manager He's leg, which was hanging by the door, and easily dragged him to a spot about a meter away from the soft door.

As Huo Haojie entered and was about to close the door, he glanced at the opposite door, waved at the door, and then closed it. He went back inside and brought out two stools, placing them behind Huo Haocheng.

The people across the hall were Da Yong and his friends, who had just returned and were slightly calmer.

Having worked all night, they hadn't had time for dinner. So when they got back, each of them ate a cold steamed bun to calm down after seeing Huo Haocheng and the others. Just then, they heard a sound coming from across the street. Startled, Da Yong and the others rushed to the wall and peeked through the crack in the door. They saw that the people they had been following had returned.

Then they saw him fall to the ground, and as he fell, a girl sitting in the courtyard was exposed to their view.

Seeing how pretty the girl was, Dayong wondered if she had been kidnapped by this man. Should they go and rescue her?

Then they heard footsteps again, and then their leader and his older brother appeared.

Just as they were about to open the door and call for help, they heard the girl speak.

Seeing the two bosses obediently listen to a girl, Da Yong felt that he was a decent person.

What did they experience that night?

"Wife, how long have you been here?" Huo Haocheng asked unhappily, noticing that Ruan Ruan's gaze was fixed on the person on the ground.

They hadn't seen each other for almost half a month. Didn't she miss him at all? Otherwise, why would he not even glance at her now that he was standing right in front of her?

"Go and find the medicine in his arms first." If it's not in the room, then it must be on this person's person. Ruan Ruan's purpose in coming here tonight is to find out what kind of medicine they developed.

Huo Haocheng felt that he was a man who listened to his wife, so when Ruan Ruan asked him to search her body, he consciously went by himself and did not intend to ask his younger brother for help at all.

Seeing that he had used both hands to strip off Steward He's coat, and then began to search him, Huo Haocheng quickly found a small white porcelain medicine bottle in his inner pocket.

He had seen this medicine bottle before. Two years ago at the border, when they went to rescue Ruan Ruan, they found a similar medicine bottle on the poisonous snake and the poisonous woman.

After handing the medicine bottle to Ruan Ruan, he sat down next to her without hesitation.

"Wife, what kind of medicine is this?"

Ruan Ruan took the medicine bottle, opened it, first smelled it near her nose, and then looked at each pill around.

"Go inside and get me some water." Ruan Ruan didn't answer Huo Haocheng's question at first, but when she smelled the scent emanating from the pills, her expression turned sour.

Seeing Ruan Ruan's suddenly furrowed brows and unpleasant expression, they knew without guessing that this was definitely not a good thing.

Huo Haojie quickly went inside, found a bowl, filled it with some water, and also brought out the kettle.

This courtyard had been empty for a long time and shouldn't have had any water or blankets, but it seems that the Xu or Zhao families knew someone would be staying there, so they provided the basic necessities.

Huo Haocheng took the bowl from his hand and held it out to Ruan Ruan.

Ruan Ruan glanced at him, then took the bowl from his hand and placed it next to the person lying on the ground. She then said to them, "Go away and hold your breath." At the same time, she held her breath herself. When she saw that Huo Haocheng and the others had already walked to the other end of the yard, Ruan Ruan poured one pill into the water and then ran to them as fast as she could.
