Chapter 908 The Reason for the Critical Illness
Ruan Xiaoyu felt ice-cold all over. She turned around and was about to rush to the bedside, but Qiu Linshan and Aunt Qiu, who had anticipated this, pushed her away.
When Aunt Qiu saw that she still dared to approach her son, she stood in front of him like a mother hen protecting her chicks, glaring at her through gritted teeth: "Stay away from my son!"
Ruan Xiaoyu was extremely aggrieved and choked up as she said, "Auntie, Auntie, you have to believe me. I really didn't do anything to hurt Zhiming. They framed me for all of this. Yes, maybe, maybe they are the ones who really hurt Zhiming. They're just pretending to be the thief and pinning the blame on me."
"Auntie, we've been taking care of Zhiming together these past few days. You must know what kind of person I am!"
"You're saying we're the ones who harmed Young Master Qiu, the thief crying 'the thief,' framing you? Then dare you swear an oath?"
"Swear an oath? What oath?"
Ye Wanxi's lips curled slightly: "We swear that we have absolutely nothing to do with Young Master Qiu's serious illness, or we will be punished by heaven and struck by lightning. And you only need to swear that you have nothing to do with Young Master Qiu's illness, or your loved one will die on the spot. Do you dare?"
Ruan Xiaoyu choked, her eyes darting left and right, unable to give an answer for a long time, clearly hesitant.
Seeing this, Qiu Linshan snorted coldly and sneered, "According to you, isn't the person you love my cousin? You have nothing to do with his illness, so this retribution naturally won't fall on my cousin. What's there to hesitate about?"
Ruan Xiaoyu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Qiu got angry too: "Swear it!"
Ruan Xiaoyu's mental defenses completely collapsed after being yelled at by her. She had only pretended to cry when facing Ye Wanxi's questioning before, but this time she cried for real.
Unfortunately, her crying did not evoke any sympathy from anyone present.
Aunt Qiu felt a pang of sadness whenever she thought about how she had kept this murderer, who was trying to kill her son, under her nose for so long and had even spoken to her so kindly.
She was almost fooled and made an accomplice in the death of her son; she felt like tearing her apart.
Seeing her cry like that only fueled his anger: "Crying? You still have the nerve to cry! You shameless woman!"
Aunt Qiu, rarely losing her composure, lunged forward and slapped Ruan Xiaoyu across the face, then grabbed her hair and pulled her up from the ground.
When Shi Lang and the others saw this scene, they instinctively felt a pang of pain in their scalps, but they could also understand that if their own children were harmed like this, they would only hurt them more severely than Aunt Qiu.
Uncle Qiu wanted to help, but he knew his own strength and was afraid that he might kick someone to death and cause more trouble.
"Tell me, who sent you to harm my son? Your relationship with my son was probably premeditated, wasn't it? From the very beginning, you were all targeting my son, weren't you? Tell me, who was it?"
Ruan Xiaoyu's face was swollen from Qiu Ershen's slap, her hair was pulled, and tears streamed down her face, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.
Aunt Qiu beat Ruan Xiaoyu, but instead of venting her anger, she became even angrier.
Ruan Xiaoyu's attitude of defending the person behind the scenes made her feel even more sorry for her son.
Qiu Linshan naturally noticed her distress and stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Second Aunt, let's put this woman's matter aside for now. The most important thing is to save my cousin. Once he's better, we'll settle these scores with them slowly. There's no reason to let them get away with harming our family like this."
Aunt Qiu calmed down and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, yes, you're right. Zhiming's health is the most important thing."
As she spoke, Aunt Qiu hurriedly ran to Ye Wanxi and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Ye, I was blind and didn't see the true colors of this slut. I didn't fully believe what you said just now either. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. My Zhiming is innocent. Please save him."
Aunt Qiu couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke. Uncle Qiu put his arm around her shoulder, silently comforting his wife while saying to Ye Wanxi, "Miss Ye, please save our son, no matter the cost. As long as you can save my son, even if it means giving up all our family's property and our lives, we'll do it."
"Dad, Mom..." Qiu Zhiming lay on the hospital bed, feeling a pang of sadness upon hearing his parents' words.
The frustration of being betrayed by his girlfriend and the guilt of implicating his parents almost overwhelmed him, and also caused a bit of hatred to grow in his heart.
“You two are too kind. I don’t need your family’s wealth, nor do I need you to pay the price with your lives. This is a legitimate business with a clear price. You just need to pay me a certain fee later. Miss Qiu has experience in this area.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Linshan quickly stepped forward to comfort the two elders, saying, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, since Miss Ye has said so, she certainly won't sit idly by. You can rest assured."
Uncle Qiu and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then when does Miss Ye plan to..."
"Saving Young Master Qiu is actually quite simple. We've found the thing the other party used to transfer the illness energy through magic. The simplest way is for me to destroy it. That way, the other party's magic will fail, and the person who transferred the illness energy to Young Master Qiu will suffer a backlash."
Ye Wanxi paused here, "Originally, the other party only intended to transfer illness energy to Young Master Qiu, which would at most keep him in a weak and sickly state for a long time, allowing him to live for at least another year or two..."
"Live another year or two?" Qiu's mother frowned upon hearing this and interjected, "Zhiming doesn't seem like he can last another year or two."
In just one week, he went to the emergency room several times, and several critical condition notices were issued.
If Ye Wanxi hadn't come to visit today, given his condition, he might not have been able to survive even two weeks, let alone two years.
“So it was originally.” Ye Wanxi held the small brocade pouch in her hand and said coldly, “This gentleman who transferred the illness to Young Master Qiu was probably worried that things might change if things dragged on, so after he completely transferred the illness to Young Master Qiu, he had someone add another layer of magic to this brocade pouch.”
"After Qiu Shao fell ill, his health deteriorated rapidly, and he will definitely need to be hospitalized. What's most common in hospitals?"
Aunt Qiu's expression changed slightly: "Patients, the hospital has the most patients."
"That's right. There are many patients in the hospital, so there's naturally a lot of pathogenic energy. This extra layer of technique is to allow Young Master Qiu to spontaneously absorb the pathogenic energy in the hospital."
Ye Wanxi's explanation made everyone's faces turn very ugly.
"If I'm not mistaken, I must have seen quite a few people who needed to be admitted to the emergency room these past few days."
Ye Wanxi asked Shi Lang this question, and coincidentally, Shi Lang actually knew about it.
"Yes, this hospital has been admitting an emergency patient every two days recently."
"This should be the reason why Qiu Shaoyi has been issued critical condition notices again and again."
