Ah Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and took the glass of ice water handed to him by Jiang Luoning. He turned back to look at Fu Linxiao, Jiang Luoning, and Lin Ming who were waiting. He drank the water in the glass in big gulps and then slowly explained his condition: "He was poisoned by the sacred tree. I controlled his heart meridians. If the toxin controls the nerves, it will prevent the poison from eroding deeper. The preparation of this poison requires the use of witchcraft. After being poisoned, he will lose his memory and become a puppet, obeying the host's commands."
"The host, that is, the person whose blood the poison maker adds, makes the poisoned person obey the words of the blood owner, which is somewhat similar to hypnosis."
"Can we find out who this host is?" Fu Linxiao asked after hearing this.
"The sacred tree poison is, to be more precise, a special kind of Gu poison. I've also seen it in medical books. It's extracted by drying the host's blood. Only by finding the source of the poisoning first, I tried to decompose the blood mixed in the toxin and then identify the host through DNA identification and comparison. But do you know how he was poisoned?" Hearing the question, Ah Xing explained patiently.
"Where's that bracelet?" Jiang Luoning asked Fu Linxiao. In his previous life, he had been wearing that bracelet when he woke up, which was why he had lost his memory. In this life, things had gone awry, and Ying had touched the bracelet, leading to the current situation.
Fu Linxiao ordered someone to take the bracelet and told them not to have any contact.
The bracelet was handed to Axing. Jiang Luoning asked Fu Linxiao for a laboratory for Axing, and then went into the laboratory with Axing.
She and Axing need to stay here temporarily. After all, if she wants to save Yingyi, her chances of success will be greater only with him.
As for the sacred tree poison, Ah Xing had only seen it in the ancient medical books left by Grandpa Chu. Now their task was not only to separate the blood sample, but also to find a way to detoxify it. The two of them started to prepare with a clear division of labor.
Jiang family.
Jiang Linghao waited in the living room all night for Jiang Luoning to return home, but he didn't. The next morning, he rushed to Fu Linxiao's residence, Muringyuan, only to be informed by the housekeeper that Fu Linxiao hadn't returned either. Jiang Luoning's phone was off, and Fu Linxiao wasn't answering. Reluctantly, he called Lin Cong, but Lin Cong said he'd left the Jiang residence the previous day and gone home without even attending the banquet. Fu Linxiao hadn't come to the office today either, leaving him with a pile of densely packed paperwork to process. Jiang Linghao hung up the phone helplessly, and finally found Lin Ming, only to learn that the two had spent the night at Wuying Hall.
As soon as Jiang Linghao entered, he saw Fu Linxiao and a strange boy having breakfast. He didn't see his sister. Just as he was about to question her, he heard the boy say, "Brother Jiang, you're here? Are you looking for my Sister Ning? We were busy until very late yesterday, she probably hasn't gotten up yet!"
Jiang Linghao looked at Fu Linxiao with a puzzled look, and confirmed once again that he did not know this young man.
"Ning'er's younger brother. He knows some medical skills and helped here yesterday." Fu Linxiao did not tell Jiang Linghao Nanxing's identity. After all, he didn't know the little girl's identity in Anye.
Ah Xing didn't hear anything wrong with Fu Linxiao's words. She nodded obediently to Jiang Linghao and continued to eat her breakfast. Jiang Linghao then remembered what Lin Ming had said when he rushed into the Zijin Club yesterday about Yingyi's amnesia.
After the two finished breakfast and Ah Xing left, Jiang Linghao started to ask. Fu Linxiao told him everything about Ah Xing's description yesterday and how Yingyi was poisoned. Before Jiang Linghao could think about anything, there was a sound from the stairs. When they looked up, they saw the sleepy Jiang Luoning walking down the stairs barefoot.
Fu Linxiao looked at the newcomer, suppressing his inner restlessness. Jiang Linghao took out a pair of brand new slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door and placed them at Jiang Luoning's feet, scolding her warmly, "You're already grown up, but you're still running around without shoes like a child! There's no carpet here, be careful not to catch a cold!"
Jiang Luoning put on his shoes, smiled and looked at Fu Linxiao on the sofa, saying aggrievedly: "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Fu Linxiao walked towards the kitchen, took out the prepared breakfast, and told her that Ah Xing had gone to the laboratory. Hearing Ah Xing's name, Jiang Luoning instantly widened his eyes and looked at Fu Linxiao, and then glanced at his eldest brother who was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, as if asking. My eldest brother knows Ah Xing's identity? Fu Linxiao curled his lips and explained tactfully: "You are a very polite younger brother. Your eldest brother called out to me as soon as he came in."
Jiang Linghao, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the conversation between the two. He then remembered that Ah Xing had just said that Jiang Luoning was busy until very late yesterday. He looked at Fu Linxiao unhappily and said, "Master Fu San! My sister is not one of those rough old men under your command. How can you bear to let a little girl work so hard for you all night?"
Fu Linxiao looked at the little girl across the table without saying a word. If he hadn't dragged Jiang Luoning out of the lab yesterday, the two of them would probably still be in the lab studying that sacred tree poison!
Jiang Linghao's question didn't get an answer, so he looked at Jiang Luoning and finally asked the question in his heart: "But Ningning, when did you get a younger brother?"
Jiang Luoning looked at his eldest brother and explained, "When I was in Country A, I once encountered bad guys. My bodyguards were not around, so it was Ah Xing who saved me. Don't underestimate his age, he's quite capable!"
Hearing Jiang Luoning's words, Jiang Linghao focused on the fact that Jiang Luoning had encountered a bad guy, and didn't care at all about Ah Xing's ability. After hearing this, he quickly walked towards Jiang Luoning and asked anxiously: "When did you encounter a bad guy? Why didn't you tell me, big brother!"
Seeing that Jiang Linghao's focus had been successfully diverted by him and he didn't doubt Ah Xing's identity, he explained, "Brother, I'm fine! I'm not a bad person either. I just met a drunk man, and Ah Xing saw him passing by. She called me sister and then threw a tantrum to drive the man away. Later, I learned that Ah Xing had no relatives in Country A, so I adopted him as my brother!"
After listening to Jiang Luoning's explanation, his affection for A Xing instantly doubled! Because he protected his sister. Although he was young, he had a strong sense of justice! He was indeed a good kid, so he asked about A Xing's current situation: "So where does A Xing live now? Do you want to take him back to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Luoning saw his elder brother's serious expression and knew that he had accepted Ah Xing's identity as his younger brother, but he couldn't let her live in the Jiang family. If she did that, she would be easily caught if she went out to do something. So he refused on the grounds that Ah Xing was used to being alone.
Fu Linxiao listened to the battle of wits and courage between the brother and sister. Looking at Jiang Linghao who had fallen into the trap without knowing it, he felt sorry for him for a few seconds. However, when he heard Jiang Luoning explain how she and Axing met, he didn't believe it at all. It seemed that he would have to have a good communication with this capable brother when he had the chance. It shouldn't be too difficult, after all, he called him brother-in-law yesterday.
