Seeing a petite figure fall backward, Zu An reacted quickly and instinctively grabbed her, feeling the cool, refreshing touch of her small hand.

He felt inexplicably hot, perhaps because of the frantic run he had just made.

So this coolness made him feel extremely comfortable, and he wished he could stay there forever.

At this moment, he saw the other person's face clearly and was overjoyed: "Xiao Xi, it's so great to meet you here! I'm here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Xiaoxi blushed, broke free from his hand, and turned to leave with a stern face.

Zuan then realized that the "Spring Breeze at Eighteen Degrees" experiment had really angered her, and she was still angry.

"Xiao Xi, I really have an urgent matter that I need your help with," Zu An said hurriedly. At this moment, Qin Wanru in his arms had fallen into a coma and was almost limp in his arms.

"I won't help!" Ji Xiaoxi glanced at the woman in his arms. Because Qin Wanru's face was buried in Zu An's chest, she couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

I thought to myself, "This guy actually went out of his way to come to me carrying a woman."

Anger level from Ji Xiaoxi: +33 +33 +33...

Seeing the string of anger levels in the background, Zuan was dumbfounded. This girl usually had a pretty good personality, but he didn't expect her to be so vengeful.

"Xiao Xi, I'm really sorry about what happened at Spring Breeze Eighteen Degrees before. You can hit me or scold me as you please from now on, but you really have to help me save someone today." Zu An was anxious.

Ji Xiaoxi blushed. Actually, she wouldn't be so angry if she had just accidentally tasted the "Spring Breeze Eighteen Degrees" poison. The key issue was that in order to detoxify, she had to take off her clothes and soak in the bathtub. What was worse was that Zu An saw and even touched her, and Chu Huan also saw it and misunderstood.

Having been as pure as a blank sheet of paper since childhood, she couldn't bear such a thing. Therefore, she always harbored a little resentment in her heart. Every time she saw Zu'an, she had a complicated feeling, both resentful and shy.

She wanted to refuse again, but being kind-hearted by nature, she noticed something was wrong with the woman in his arms. Just as she was about to say something, a furious roar suddenly rang out: "Spring Breeze Eighteen Degrees? How dare you bully my daughter!"

Ji Dengtu's anger level increased by 678!

Soon, Ji Dengtu roared and charged out, his face showing an expression that looked like he wanted to tear Zu'an apart.

Zu An was startled, and before he could explain, Ji Xiaoxi became anxious: "Dad, it's not what you think."

"How can it not be what I thought? I clearly heard you talking about 'Spring Breeze at Eighteen Degrees' just now. This guy actually drugged you with such a shameless drug. I'm going to skin him alive and tear him apart." Ji Dengtu cared most about his daughter, treating her like a precious gem.

The thought of his carefully nurtured little cabbage, raised for over a decade, being trampled by a pig—and not just once, but eighteen times—made him want to go crazy.

Ji Dengtu's anger level: +999 +999 +999...

Ji Xiaoxi's face turned bright red. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

Sensing Ji Dengtu's persistent and intense resentment, Zu An knew that if he hesitated for even a second longer, he would be torn to shreds by Ji Dengtu's extreme anger. He hurriedly blurted out, "Dr. Ji, you misunderstood. You weren't talking about Xiao Xi, but about Madam Chu being poisoned by the Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze."

As they spoke, they moved Qin Wanru's face closer to them. At this moment, she had fallen into a coma, and her skin was as red as a boiled shrimp. Even through her clothes, they could feel the astonishing heat emanating from her body.

Whether it was the effect of the medication or something else, she now exuded a rich, subtle fragrance, somewhat like the scent of roses, but also different.

"Wanru!" Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful woman in his arms, Ji Dengtu's eyes lit up immediately: "This is easy, I can solve it!"

As he spoke, he reached out to take Qin Wanru from him.

Zu An was startled and quickly took a step back, looking at him with extremely wary eyes: "It's better not to trouble Doctor Ji with this. After all, men and women are different. Let Xiao Xi help."

What a joke! Doesn't he know what kind of person Ji Dengtu is?

He even sent her to steal Qin Wanru's personal clothing. How could he possibly entrust Qin Wanru to such a sleazy guy? Wouldn't that be like handing a sheep over to a big bad wolf?

Ji Dengtu said with a smile, "No, no, Xiao Xi can't cure this poison. Only I can do it."

Zuan sneered inwardly. Nonsense, I know the solution you're talking about. Why would I need to come to you?

The two stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

At this point, Ji Xiaoxi couldn't stand it anymore and walked over directly, saying, "I can give it a try."

She was kind-hearted by nature, and knowing that Qin Wanru had been drugged, she had firsthand experience of it, so she naturally felt compassion.

Upon seeing that it was her, Zu An was relieved. He had originally intended to hand Qin Wanru over to her, but seeing her petite figure, he was worried that she might not be able to carry her. So he took the initiative to help carry her into the inner room.

As Zuan walked, he said, "In addition, she is seriously injured and her life is in danger at any time."

At this moment, Ji Dengtu also put away his previous frivolous smile, frowned, and came to the side to check the injuries on her back: "Heart-Shattering Fist? Hong Zhong actually rebelled? I really didn't expect that."

Zu An was somewhat surprised; this guy really knew a lot about the Chu family.

Ji Dengtu took out a pill and put it into Qin Wanru's mouth: "This pill can temporarily protect her heart meridian. We need to detoxify her first, and then treat her injuries. Otherwise, in her current condition, using any nourishing or healing medicine will only make her die faster. We must act quickly."
