Chapter 223: Husband-killing
"It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."
"My husband is just asking."
Xie Nancheng placed his big hand on Tu Ran's injury to comfort him.
After this incident, both of them had a drastic change in their mentality.
Xie Nancheng had already developed feelings for Tu Ran, and was gradually expressing them.
Tu Ran's attitude has always been ambiguous.
Now, because of this time, there is a clear response.
"It's not that I don't want to say it."
"I actually learned it when I was very young, many years ago, around seven or eight years old."
"Can you use poison at the age of seven or eight?"
"Wife, you are so awesome." The boss gave her an admiring look.
"The flower of rebirth is the king of poisons that I ground myself. The poison takes effect very quickly and there is no cure."
"Unless there's an antidote."
"The Flower of Rebirth is made from sixteen kinds of deadly poisons. It's extremely complex."
"The poisoned person can't be cured even if he is sent to the best hospital in Xiangcheng, let alone the capital."
"Because detoxification requires a medicinal ingredient."
"It's the skin shed by the purple-tailed snake."
"Purple-tailed snakes are only found deep in Phoenix Ridge, and their numbers are very rare."
"It only happens three days before and after the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year."
"So they can't get this rare and precious detoxification primer."
Tu Ran calmly explained that the white powder used this time was highly poisonous.
The boss admired him more and more after listening to it...
"Wife, you are so cool."
Tu Ran remained silent...
"If I betray you in the future, will you poison me to death? Hahaha."
Tu Ran still didn't say anything, but his expression didn't look good anymore.
"Oh, I was just kidding, don't be angry."
"I really admire you, I really do."
"Do you know that I started learning close combat at the age of three?"
“No one can understand the hardship and tears involved.”
"My grandparents were afraid I would be kidnapped, so they were very strict with me since I was little."
"I haven't encountered such a situation in recent years."
"Those people tonight were obviously well prepared and came here to kill me."
"I didn't expect that my wife, your little hand would just wave gently."
"You actually beat your husband. I've learned close combat for over twenty years."
"It's different." Tu Ran said in a low voice.
"Why is it different?"
"I killed someone." Tu Ran was actually still under some psychological pressure at this time.
Although these people are extremely vicious, they must be killed.
But killing more than ten people at once still felt like a psychological burden.
You know, in those years, Tu Ran was so unwilling to step on even an ant.
She was born in Fenghuangling and studied traditional Chinese medicine with her grandfather.
I have always been in awe of the heavens and the earth, and of nature.
It’s not that I’m particularly virtuous, but this is the first time that more than ten people have been killed at once.
She is still preparing herself mentally.
"Who said that? This doesn't count. We are acting in self-defense."
"Didn't you hear what the police said?"
"In life-threatening situations, we can choose to protect ourselves."
"They are so vicious that if we don't poison them, we will die."
"According to our country's laws, we are all innocent, understand? You are not allowed to blame yourself."
Xie Nancheng suddenly realized that Tu Ran was only in his early twenties after all.
Poisoning more than ten people at once must have been a psychological burden.
No one would kill someone and then remain indifferent.
Whether it's for self-protection or something else.
"I'm not blaming myself, I just need to adapt." Tu Ran was very calm.
"Thank you, honey, for saving me."
"If it weren't for you, I would have died."
"No, it's you who refuses to run away. If you had run away on your own, it would have been more than enough."
"You refused to leave because of me."
"You even blocked a knife for me."
This knife made Tu Ran feel even more guilty. Xie Nancheng was born into a wealthy family and must have been carefully cared for by his family since he was a child. How could he be injured by a long knife? Wasn't it all because of her?
"So, wife...are you paying for saving my life with your body?"
Tu Ran: ...
"What time is it, Xie Nancheng."
"What on earth are you thinking about?" Tu Ran blushed with anger.
This guy always makes shameless requests when he is most moved.
"Honestly, we've both been through life and death together. Shouldn't you give me a little sweetness this time?"
"Shut up and go check first."
Seeing that he was acting frivolously again, Tu Ran ignored him.
After going to the hospital and undergoing a series of tests, everything seemed normal.
The wound on the right arm was also quickly changed, disinfected, and re-bandaged.
"Mr. Xie, the examination results show that there is nothing wrong."
"Just don't get wet in the next few days."
"Also... don't do... strenuous exercise." The doctor must have meant well.
Xie Nancheng didn't react much, and Tu Ran's cheeks turned slightly red.
"Yes." The boss agreed readily.
Xie Nancheng came to a private hospital under Shengshi Group, which is also the Xie family’s own hospital.
Mrs. Xie is also hospitalized here.
After hearing that her son was injured, she no longer cared about being pretentious.
He directly asked to see Xie Nancheng.
Xie Nancheng had no intention of hiding it. Such a big thing could not be concealed.
He called Xu Xin and asked him to handle the matter at the police station.
We also need to check where these people came from. The boss always has to settle grudges.
If Tu Ran hadn't used poison at the critical moment today, it would have been difficult for the two of them to pass this level.
Although his men arrived ten minutes later, how long was ten minutes?
Will those vicious gangsters give you ten minutes?
"Mom is also in the hospital here."
"After hearing about it, I was worried."
"Let's go see her."
Xie Nancheng held Tu Ran tightly with his uninjured left hand.
"About me using poison..." Tu Ran had some concerns.
She had no choice but to take action, but not to show off, she really didn't want more people to know.
"I see."
"I will agree with the police department."
"In this world, no one will know about this except you and me, don't worry." The boss promised.
"Thank you." Tu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for nothing, call me husband."
“Stop making trouble…”
"Hurry up and shout, we just survived a disaster."
The boss started to act like a spoiled brat halfway through.
Unable to persuade him, Tu Ran called out vaguely, "Husband."
"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
"Xie Nancheng, don't go too far."
"Hahahaha, this is so funny."
Seeing Tu Ran’s face flushed, Xie Nancheng thought it was very cute and couldn’t help but come over and kiss her long black hair.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Han who was guarding Mrs. Xie's door.
Her eyes dimmed instantly...
She also wants Xie Nancheng's love.
"Senior Nancheng." Zhou Han stepped forward to greet him, ruining the wonderful atmosphere.
When Xie Nancheng saw Zhou Han, his smile instantly disappeared.
"This is my wife." The boss introduced her immediately.
"Hello, Mrs. Xie." Zhou Han smiled.
"Hello." Tu Ran didn't show any expression.
Just as Xie Nancheng was about to go in with Tu Ran, Zhou Han immediately said, "Mr. Xie, Auntie said that only you can go in."
Xie Nancheng frowned slightly and was about to speak.
"Go in quickly and don't let mom worry." Tu Ran didn't care.
As Xie Nancheng walked in, Zhou Han glanced at Tu Ran and said with a smile, "Aunt Xie just chatted with me and said that you seem to be unlucky in marriage. Ever since you married into the Xie family, bad things have been happening to Senior Nancheng."
