Chapter 213 The Special Effects of Medicinal Powder
Xia Yuhuan turned to look at Chi Yanzhou and paused.
She said, "Perhaps I misjudged."
"I caught up with them but couldn't see them anymore."
Chi Yanzhou frowned upon hearing this.
Xia Yuhuan said, "Never mind, maybe I misjudged because it's dark. Let's go back."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pushed Chi Yanzhou back.
The two had to turn from a secluded path onto the main road to continue their journey home.
After walking a short distance, a beam of car headlights shone towards us.
The road is narrow, just wide enough for one car to pass and barely wide enough for one person to walk side by side.
As it got dark, and with her wheelchair in tow, Xia Yuhuan cautiously chose to stop at the door of a nearby house to let others pass.
The car approached from afar and soon arrived in front of Xia Yuhuan.
When Xia Yuhuan looked up, she inadvertently saw the injury on the driver's face in the driver's seat, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
It turns out she wasn't mistaken; that person really had appeared!
Xia Yuhuan stared wide-eyed, trying hard to see the other person's face clearly.
However, the car quickly drove past them, and Xia Yuhuan was unable to see the other person's face clearly.
She quickly caught up with the car and memorized the license plate number.
Chi Yanzhou quickly grabbed the wheelchair to prevent it from being pushed away.
"Ayu," he called out to Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan then came to her senses and quickly turned around to push the wheelchair.
"Are you alright? I'm sorry, I just found out something, I got too excited." Xia Yuhuan quickly apologized.
Chi Yanzhou said, "It's nothing."
What did you find?
Xia Yuhuan immediately said, "Let's go home and talk about this. We need to let Dad hear about it too."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou didn't ask any further questions and let her push him home.
Once home, Xia Yuhuan started calling for Chi Shaokang.
"Dad, where are you, Dad?"
"Dad, are you busy, Dad?"
The way they were doing it was like a child looking for their mother, calling out incessantly.
But it is precisely because of this that people can truly feel that she really regarded the Chi family as her own home and Chi Shaokang as her father.
Hearing the noise, Chi Shaokang came out of his study upstairs.
“I’m here, what’s wrong, daughter?” Chi Shaokang asked.
"Dad, please come downstairs, I have something to tell you," Xia Yuhuan said hurriedly.
Chi Shaokang immediately agreed, and without even putting the pen back in his study, he took it and went downstairs.
"What's wrong, daughter? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Chi Shaokang asked.
Xia Yuhuan hurriedly said, "Dad, I just saw the person who was involved with Xia Jianyong before, who kidnapped me, and then ran away."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang immediately perked up: "Where is he?"
"I'm leaving," Xia Yuhuan said honestly.
"Do you remember what he looks like? Describe it, and I'll have someone try to draw it," Chi Shaokang said again.
Although the portrait may be slightly inaccurate, it is still a direction for reconnaissance.
Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "It was too dark, I couldn't see his face clearly."
Chi Shaokang: "..."
This is a difficult situation.
This is equivalent to providing an invalid message.
Xia Yuhuan said, "I sprinkled powder on the two of them to get away."
"Besides the eye-dazzling and stunning effect that makes people weak when it is sprinkled out, if it is not thoroughly washed off in a short time, it will also corrode the skin that has been contaminated with the powder, causing skin ulceration."
"And it even glows in the dark!"
"If you don't believe me, you can let Uncle Yan go and see the kidnapper who has been caught."
"His face was covered with a large amount of powder, and it should have ulcerated by now. Even with the lights off at night, his wounds would glow."
This was the first time Chi Shaokang had ever heard of such a miraculous medicinal powder.
A powder that can sting the eyes, cannot be washed off with water, corrodes the skin, and even makes wounds glow—even someone as knowledgeable as Chi Shaokang had never heard of such a powder before.
So he immediately called Yan Hu to ask if there was any information about the arrested person.
Yan Hu was somewhat surprised when he received the call.
How could there be such a strange powder?
However, he did know that the person who was arrested had indeed started to fester and develop wounds on his face in the past two days.
Yan Hu obediently went to turn off the lights and tested it out.
He was utterly shocked when he saw the wounds on the arrested robbers' faces glowing eerily in the darkness.
So, he quickly told Chi Shaokang.
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang hung up the phone: "Okay, I understand. I'll look into the situation first. Wait for my call."
Then, Chi Shaokang asked Xia Yuhuan, "Since your medicine powder has such powerful effects, why didn't you say so before?"
If you tell them, it can be very effective in tracking down another person.
Perhaps the other party has already been caught.
Xia Yuhuan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.
"I forgot, I only remembered it when I saw it today."
Actually, it wasn't that she had really forgotten; it's just that she herself wasn't sure if this fluorescent agent-like medicine was really effective.
Although she made the powder, its main purpose was to confuse the enemy. It contained sedative ingredients that would weaken anyone who came into contact with it, making them easier to control.
The robber who was captured was under the influence of a sedative, which significantly reduced his mobility, and he was immediately taken into custody.
But the fleeing robber seemed to have a great resistance to the drug, so the drug had no effect and he got away.
The herbs that emit a fluorescent effect were what she found in the space.
She added this herb to the powder, thinking it was better than nothing and would give it a try.
But after it was made, she had nowhere to use it, and it was impossible for her to use it for experiments on herself, so she forgot about this rather useless effect.
She was mainly relying on its sedative effects.
It wasn't until she was taking a walk today that she caught a glimpse of someone whose face was glowing, and that she suddenly remembered this incident.
This was also the reason why she abandoned Chi Yanzhou for the first time to chase after someone.
When she caught up with him for the first time, she didn't see him and thought she had misjudged him.
Later, as the other person drove past her, she caught another glimpse of the injury on their profile.
She then realized that the man might be the other kidnapper who had escaped that day.
Chi Shaokang: "..."
Chi Yanzhou: "..."
Xia Yuhuan was a little embarrassed.
"This powder, which corrodes the skin and makes wounds glow, is something I've never made before. It's an experimental product, and its main strength lies in its sedative ingredients."
"So I forgot about it."
Chi Shaokang knew that blaming others would be of no use at this time.
Moreover, Xia Yuhuan herself said that this was the first time she had added it to the medicine powder for an experiment, which means that she herself was not sure about its efficacy.
She herself wasn't sure about the efficacy. If the efficacy was useless, telling them rashly would only cause them to focus on the person with the injury on their face who could glow in the night.
This could lead to them focusing too much on characteristic criminals when screening suspects, and missing out on the real criminals.
Chi Shaokang found a reason for Xia Yuhuan's actions, feeling that the matter couldn't be entirely blamed on her, and he immediately felt relieved.
"How long does the effect of this drug last? Did you remember the license plate number when you saw him driving?" Chi Shaokang asked Xia Yuhuan.
