Chapter 48 The situation is not good

An Yan was already feeling a little dazed, but fortunately her golden needles had kept him conscious. She had originally wanted to make the medicine herself, but found that she had no way to do it, so she said to Li Rongsen, "Can you please help me for a moment?"

"Of course, just tell me what you need me to do." Li Rongsen asked her while taking off his suit jacket.

An Yan changed her tone the moment she said the word "honeysuckle." She was afraid that naming the herbs would waste time, so she simply said, "Weigh three taels for each. First row, third drawer, fifth drawer, third row, first drawer, second drawer, fifth row, first drawer, third drawer."

Li Rongsen's hands and feet were quite nimble, while Sheng Mingjie just watched from the side.

He discovered that An Yan was quite capable and seemed to be very proficient in pharmacology.

"Put it in that small cauldron and light a fire underneath." An Yan reminded him, then leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and said, "It will only take fifteen minutes."

"If I'm not mistaken, did he give it to you to eat?" Sheng Mingjie couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he wanted to ask An Yan.

But An Yan interrupted him before he could finish: "Don't talk."

Sheng Mingjie shrugged and had no choice but to ask nothing.

Li Rongsen sat aside and asked An Yan, "Would you like some water first?"

"No need." An Yan replied.

Li Rongsen stood up and said to Sheng Mingjie, "Let's go out first and come back in fifteen minutes. Let her rest first." After that, he left.

He and Sheng Mingjie went back to their offices. He made a phone call and said, "There's a man tied to a telephone pole on the top of the mountain."

The other party asked: "Do you want us to rescue them?"

"No, we're going to tow the car down the mountain. Don't worry about that guy." Li Rongsen said and hung up the phone.

"What are you doing? Are you afraid that he really has the ability to break free? If the car is towed away, he will have no way to survive. He can't stand staying on the top of the mountain for a whole night." There was a hint of sarcasm in Sheng Mingjie's tone.

"Do you sympathize with him?" Li Rongsen asked him back while picking up the water cup to drink.

"Why should I sympathize with a scumbag among men? He even resorts to such despicable means. It's really shameful." Sheng Mingjie said disdainfully, then smiled and said to Li Rongsen, "I mean something. I'm referring to you."

"My partner has been bullied. This is just a piece of cake." Li Rongsen said nonchalantly.

"How are you and that Wang Lina? I heard that your relationship is not going well recently." Sheng Mingjie asked him again.

"Why do you have so many gossips?" Li Rongsen asked him, and then said, "I showed her the jewelry I bought from you last time, which gave her the opportunity to poison it. I almost thought you were in cahoots with her."

"I thought you were definitely going to give it to her, so it's okay to let her take a look at it in advance." Sheng Mingjie said aggrievedly.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, as if something exploded.

Li Rongsen and Sheng Mingjie immediately went back to the office and found white smoke coming out of the small tripod. An Yan's face seemed to have improved a little, and some of the blush had faded. She looked at them and said, "It's nothing, just a natural reaction."

"It was so scary. I thought the whole building was going to be blown down." Sheng Mingjie walked into the house jokingly.

An Yan stood up and used a white cotton handkerchief to open the lid. She found that the medicine inside had turned into powder. She poured it into a bowl, picked up a spoon, scooped a little into her mouth, and then drank a sip of the purple medicine on the side.

Sheng Mingjie looked at the table and found many medicine-making utensils and medicinal materials.

Li Rongsen went to check on An Yan. He found that her face was no longer red, but looked a little pale. He asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You guys go back and let me rest here for a while." An Yan said and sat back on the sofa, closing her eyes to rest.

Li Rongsen and Sheng Mingjie left, but he was a little worried. He didn't close the door tightly, but left it ajar. Then he sent Sheng Mingjie downstairs and said to him, "You go back first. I'll stay for a while."

"Okay, I'm leaving first." Sheng Mingjie waved at him and left first, but then turned back and took out a photo and gave it to him, saying, "I almost forgot something serious. This is for you."

Li Rongsen took it, took a look at it, then put it in his pocket and said, "I understand."

"What's the point of your life? Being taken advantage of by a woman..." Sheng Mingjie seemed to be disappointed in his son and added, "It's better not to have the Li family's wealth. I don't think you can appreciate it."

"My mother is a member of the Li family after all, she needs to be respectable." Li Rongsen motioned him to leave.

Sheng Mingjie didn't know what to say and drove away, while Li Rongsen went back. He felt that An Yan's condition was not good because her face looked very strange after taking the medicine.

An Yan was still lying on the sofa, motionless, as if she had stopped breathing.

Li Rongsen frowned. He didn't dare to touch her, so he called her name: "An Yan, An Yan, how are you?"

An Yan didn't move.

Li Rongsen said again: "Can you talk to me?"

He still didn't see any movement from her, and noticed that her lips were starting to turn pale. This made Li Rongsen unable to care about much else. He checked her breath and found that she was almost dead.

His first thought was to take her to see Hua Ye.

He looked around and saw a thin blanket on the single sofa. He wrapped An Yan in it, then carried her sideways out the door, carefully placed her on the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and then got into the car himself.

Suddenly, someone honked their horn behind him, and a person got out of the car. It was Wang Lina. She had actually found her way here and said with a look of grievance, "Rongsen, I've been waiting at your house for a long time, but you didn't come back. Do you really not want to see me that much?"

"I have something to do." Li Rongsen didn't have time to pay attention to her now.

But Wang Lina walked up to me and said, "What's wrong with you lately? You've always been so cold to me. What did I do wrong? Can't we just have a good talk?"

Li Rongsen didn't want her to find An Yan, otherwise she would never stop pestering him, so he simply walked over to her and said, "You go back first, I'll be home soon."

"I don't want to drive myself anymore. I want to take your car. Please take me home." Wang Lina began to act coquettishly to him.

Li Rongsen frowned, then patiently said to Wang Lina, "I remembered I forgot something in the office. Can you go get it for me? I'll wait for you in the car."

"No, why don't you go get it? I'll wait for you in your car." Wang Lina said as she was about to walk over to Li Rongsen's passenger seat.

Li Rongsen got into the car while she was walking past and locked all the doors.

Wang Lina couldn't open the car door, but she could see clearly who was sitting in the car. She shouted, "Li Rongsen, you scumbag, and you still say you have nothing to do with her!"

She immediately went back to drive; she couldn't let them off.
