They didn't know why Nick Wells asked them to do this. Although they were confused, they did not dare to disobey Nick Wells' orders.
The moment they pushed open the door, a colorful mushroom suddenly came into their sight.
Both pairs of eyes suddenly lost their luster.
Tu Ran held the hallucinogenic mushrooms and said to herself, "Close the door."
The two bodyguards turned around sluggishly and closed the door.
He slowly turned around and looked at Tu Ran, waiting for her next instruction.
Tu Ran randomly picked a man, pointed at him and said, "You dug out Nick Wells' inner elixir."
She started brainwashing.
The other party nodded in confusion.
She pointed at herself again, "When I left, Nick Wells was still intact, understand?"
The two continued to nod.
Tu Ran looked at Nick Wells again, "He is the murderer. It has nothing to do with me. Remember that."
After a pause, Tu Ran suddenly said earnestly: "Nick, you should be more generous and stop dwelling on who the murderer is. Now that things have come to this, what's the point of finding the real murderer? You should cherish the few days you are still sober and enjoy life. Do you understand?"
Nick Wells nodded mechanically.
If he were still awake now, he would be pissed to death by Tu Ran.
He would also curse the world for being full of all kinds of people. He had never heard of such a thick-skinned person as the murderer asking the victim to not care.
Unfortunately, his mind was confused and he could only hear Tu Ran's voice.
Even if Tu Ran told him now that the water was poisonous and told him not to drink it in the future, he would still believe it and die of thirst.
After doing all this, Tu Ran called out two more guards and asked them to continue guarding the door. She waited for five minutes before leaving.
Before she left, she set a time for them. Half an hour later, the two bodyguards would enter Nick Wells' study again, and this time would become their "crime time."
And she has already left, as evidenced by the surveillance camera in the living room.
She would be less suspicious, and since Nick Wells insisted that the two bodyguards were the murderers, and the bodyguards themselves would admit it, she would be even less suspicious.
And Nick Wells doesn't dwell too much on who the murderer is.
The rest of his time is spent enjoying life or trying to find solutions.
None of this is her business, so she can just leave with a swagger.
Tu Ran took the elevator to the first floor in broad daylight and left under the enthusiastic escort of the robot nurse.
As soon as she left Xixinang Hospital, Tu Ran went straight to the medical department.
In Xi Chunzhi's ward, Xie Xinyu was checking her body's various data using instruments.
He didn't even notice Tu Ran walked in.
Tu Ran didn't say anything, just stood there and looked at him quietly.
Fifteen minutes later, after Xie Xinyu uploaded all the data, he turned around and saw Tu Ran staring at him. He took a step back in fright and covered his heart exaggeratedly.
"When did you come in? Why were there no footsteps?"
Tu Ran ignored him and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"No." Xie Xinyu shook his head and looked down at the data on the electronic screen, frowning in distress. "Her physical indicators are declining at an accelerated rate, and the trend is obvious. If she continues to lie like this, I'm afraid..." He didn't say the rest, but the meaning was obvious.
If Xi Chunzhi doesn't wake up, once all her physical indicators drop to the lowest point or even fail, she will never wake up again.
Therefore, people whose inner elixir has been dug out cannot lie down forever like a vegetative person. It has been nearly a month since Xi Chunzhi's inner elixir was dug out. Tu Ran guessed that people who lost their inner elixir can only live for more than a month.
"I understand." Tu Ran said, staring at Xie Xinyu without moving.
"Uh..." Xie Xinyu felt uncomfortable being looked at by her and touched his nose. "Then I'll go out. Call me if you need anything."
"Yeah." Tu Ran said lightly.
After watching Xie Xinyu leave and closing the door, Tu Ran walked to Xi Chunzhi's bedside.
Her cheeks were even thinner, and obvious veins were visible on her wrists that were exposed outside the quilt. She looked like a withered rose, completely different from the beautiful motorcycle goddess I met for the first time.
Tu Ran sighed softly and took out the inner elixir from her arms.
There was still blood on the small inner elixir. Tu Ran wiped it with a tissue and found that there was not much blood on the surface. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She simply turned to the bathroom and rinsed the beads repeatedly under water.
Looking at the inner elixir stained with clear water droplets and glowing with a faint light, Tu Ran returned to Xi Chunzhi's bedside with satisfaction, held her chin and lifted her head high, pried open her pale mouth, and flicked the inner elixir directly into her throat.
The moment the inner elixir entered her body, it turned into a wisp of green smoke visibly, flowing into her throat.
This was the first time that Tu Ran saw the inner elixir being absorbed by the body so intuitively, and she found it even more magical.
After straightening Xi Chunzhi's head, Tu Ran stood aside and stared at her without blinking, and her hands hanging by her side unconsciously clenched.
This was the only solution she could think of at the moment.
If this method still doesn't work, she might not have enough time to find other ways.
A minute later, Xi Chunzhi had not changed.
Three minutes later, there was still no movement.
Ten minutes later, Tu Ran's heart sank.
She touched Xi Chunzhi's thin wrist, hoping to glimpse something different from it.
She was surprised to notice that deep in Xi Chunzhi's memory, she no longer cried out in pain.
Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi's unchanged face with shining eyes. She was sure that taking the inner elixir would be useful! Xi Chunzhi had not woken up yet, maybe because there was not enough time.
So Tu Ran hooked a chair with her toes and pulled it over, then sat on it, with her upper body almost resting on the bed. She was less than thirty centimeters away from Xi Chunzhi's face, staring at her hard.
Thirty minutes later, Tu Ran saw Xi Chunzhi's eyelashes tremble.
It wasn't very obvious, and Tu Ran once suspected that she had seen it wrong, but the thick eyelashes trembled more and more violently, and Tu Ran hurriedly pressed the call bell beside the bed.
Xie Xinyu, who happened to be here treating other patients, kicked the door open and ran in within a minute, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is she dying?"
Tu Ran: “…” Why does this person speak so harshly?
"She's moving, as if she's about to wake up." Tu Ran said.
"What!?" Xie Xinyu rushed over, pushed Tu Ran aside, took her previous position, and observed Xi Chunzhi.
Tu Ran, who was pushed away with her chair and almost fell to the ground: "..."
Isn't there another bed on the other side? Why do you have to squeeze in with her?!
But considering that he was really anxious, I forgave him.
Xi Chunzhi was indeed moving, her brows were furrowed, and her eyelids showed signs of opening, but she seemed to be entangled in a nightmare and could not open her eyes no matter what. Her whole body was twitching slightly, and the blue veins on her wrists were bulging.
