Chapter 719 A Vicious Scheme

Xia Ningxi coldly looked at the people blocking her way, and curled the corners of her mouth: "Do you really not know that the Xia family is where it is today because of Huo Nanxiao? You dare to block Huo Nanxiao, I think you want to die."

The servants couldn't help but exchange glances upon hearing Xia Ningxi's words.

They were indeed servants of the Xia family, but they also knew Huo Nanxiao's identity. Offending someone like Huo Nanxiao, they didn't know what the consequences would be...

Everyone fell silent; no one dared to move.

Seeing this, Xia Luoluo angrily said, "Are you all deaf? Do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

The servants quickly blocked Huo Nanxiao's path.

The killing intent in Huo Nanxiao's eyes almost overflowed. "Good, very good!"

The angry voice was filled with murderous intent. Almost at the same time, a bright light shone outside the door. Lu Qi arrived with his men and rushed into the Xia family's house.

The Xia family servants who were blocking the door were terrified when they saw this scene.

When Xia Luoluo and Zhou Fenglin saw Lu Qi appear, their expressions were not good either. The mother and daughter both knew that their plan had failed. Not only that, but they had also angered Huo Nanxiao. This time, they were really doomed.

At this moment, Xia Luoluo couldn't care less about what had just happened. She was determined to distance herself from the situation and hurriedly said, "Young Master Huo, I'm sorry, we were wrong. My mother just wanted you to stay and had no other intentions. I was just following my mother's orders. Please, please let her go this time."

She shifted all the blame onto Zhou Fenglin because Xia Luoluo knew very well that she was just a dispensable younger sister to Xia Wanwan, and that Huo Nanxiao was truly ruthless towards her and could take her life at any moment.

But Zhou Fenglin is different; no matter how angry Huo Nanxiao is, he would never take Zhou Fenglin's life!

But Zhou Fenglin was also scared. She had just been kicked downstairs by Huo Nanxiao, and her head and face were still covered in blood. Xia Luoluo hurriedly shifted all the blame onto herself. Zhou Fenglin was almost driven to her death by this good-for-nothing daughter.

But she also knew that arguing about these things at this point was useless. Someone had to step up and take responsibility for what the mother and daughter had done. Xia Luoluo had already exposed Zhou Fenglin, and as a mother, it wouldn't be good for her to drag Xia Luoluo down with her now.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Fenglin accepted everything despite the immense pressure.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Huo, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with anyone else," Zhou Fenglin said.

Huo Nanxiao ignored Zhou Fenglin and didn't listen to a word she said. He directly gave Lu Qi the order: "Keep an eye on everyone. If anyone dares to run away, break their legs."

"Yes, sir," Lu Qi replied.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze fell on Xia Ningxi: "Take me to the hospital."

Seeing that he didn't look well, Xia Ningxi didn't say anything and obediently took Huo Nanxiao to the hospital.

This guy was poisoned, and he should have been unconscious long ago, but he managed to hold on until he got to the hospital. After the tests, he was still conscious, which shocked the doctors who treated him. They didn't expect Huo Nanxiao to have such a strong will.

However, no matter how strong the condition is, it still requires intravenous medication and treatment at the hospital in the end.

The poison Zhou Fenglin and her group used wasn't very potent, but it could render someone unconscious for a short time. After all, they never intended to take Huo Nanxiao's life; they were hoping he would bring them all sorts of benefits.

As for why the drug was administered...

Xia Ningxi sat opposite Huo Nanxiao, staring at the unbuttoned buttons on his collar, and could roughly guess what had happened.

Like Xia Ningxi, the three children stayed with Huo Nanxiao at the hospital.

Huo Yuan was still puzzled: "Daddy, why would you get poisoned out of nowhere? That's terrifying."

Xingxing: "It's strange that getting poisoned could make my coat disappear."

Chu Chu: "Brother, do you mean those wicked women poisoned Dad because they wanted to steal his clothes?"

"Maybe it is," Xingxing said sarcastically.

The nurse who changed Huo Nanxiao's IV fluids was utterly shocked. Her gaze towards Huo Nanxiao had clearly changed, from initial admiration to disgust.

Sure enough, good-looking men are unfaithful. They have wives and children, yet they still cheat on their wives and have affairs with so many women at once. Is this something a human being should do? It's just too much!

"The medicine has been changed. Be more careful next time. You were lucky this time; the poisoning wasn't too severe. If it happens again, it'll be hard to say," the nurse said to Huo Nanxiao irritably, already regarding the man in front of her as some random guy she was out fooling around with.

Huo Nanxiao wasn't stupid; he could naturally tell that these people were mocking him.

He wasn't angry; he quietly leaned against the hospital bed, ignoring what the people around him were saying.

Although the three children said they didn't like Huo Nanxiao, they actually cared about him a lot. Especially after they learned that Huo Nanxiao was poisoned, the three children stopped making a fuss and stopped asking Huo Nanxiao to come home with them.

Fortunately, Huo Nanxiao was staying in a VIP suite. The room had two beds and a large living room. Huo Nanxiao slept on one bed, while Xia Ningxi arranged for the three children to sleep on the other bed, and she slept on the sofa.

The hospital required family members to accompany the children, so Xia Ningxi had to stay with Huo Nanxiao. She wanted to send the children home to rest, but they all clung to her, so Xia Ningxi had to make do.

The sofa in the ward was uncomfortable; it was hard and cold, and very chilly at night. Xia Ningxi tried to sleep for a while but couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned on the sofa for a while before finally sitting up.

She went into the bathroom and washed her face. She was very sleepy and couldn't fall asleep.

Huo Nanxiao probably heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, got out of bed, and knocked on the bathroom door.

Xia Ningxi was startled. Seeing Huo Nanxiao standing at the door, she asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm fine," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said, "The toxins in your body haven't been completely eliminated yet, so don't move around too much."

“You sleep in my bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi looked at the man in front of her suspiciously, but after confirming that Huo Nanxiao was not joking, she agreed without hesitation, "You said it yourself."

"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice.

Xia Ningxi went straight to Huo Nanxiao's bed. She was really tired. She needed to check on Lin Jiangbei's condition tomorrow, so she really didn't have the energy to refuse Huo Nanxiao. She pulled the blanket over herself and fell fast asleep.

Huo Nanxiao found it somewhat amusing to see her sleeping so soundly.

That night, Huo Nanxiao made do with what he had on the sofa.

In the morning, the doctor ordered a series of tests for Huo Nanxiao and only agreed to discharge him after confirming that the toxins in his body had been mostly eliminated.

However, since the three children were still asleep, Huo Nanxiao could only stay at the hospital with them.

Xia Ningxi went to Ninghai Hospital early in the morning, and it's unclear what she was busy with, but it was probably related to Lin Jiangbei.

Knowing that Huo Nanxiao was at the hospital, Ye Su brought all the contracts that needed to be signed that morning to the hospital for Huo Nanxiao to sign, and also reported the contents of the morning meeting to Huo Nanxiao.

He instructed Lu Qi on how to prepare breakfast for the children while listening to Ye Su speak.

After Ye Su finished speaking, Huo Nanxiao nodded: "You did a good job."

“It’s all I should do,” Ye Su replied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Go and investigate Xia Wanwan's medical records at the hospital."

"Are we going to Ninghai Hospital?" Ye Su replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "Imperial City People's Hospital".

"I understand." Ye Su didn't press further, but she already knew what Huo Nanxiao meant.

Xia Wanwan was discharged from the People's Hospital of Dicheng yesterday and has been lying in bed since returning home. Before that, Xia Wanwan's health had recovered quite well. Although she couldn't be compared to a normal person, she was only slightly weaker than others.

Was her sudden suicidal thoughts really due to Xia Ningxi?

Perhaps things are not as they appear on the surface.

They all knew the Xia family's character perfectly well. Since Xia Wanwan hadn't been able to achieve what the Xia family wanted, they naturally turned their attention to others.

What happened last night has convinced Huo Nanxiao that it was all part of their scheme, and that Xia Wanwan's near-death experience was also their doing.
