"Falling sick?" Ruan Xi was shocked when he heard this and quickened his pace. When Ruan Ping ran up to him, he immediately asked.
"Hu...Hu...Hu...Just now, grandma was reading a book peacefully, and suddenly she fainted. Her face turned blue, and her breathing was very weak..." Ruan Ping ran very fast and was out of breath at the moment, but he tried his best to tell Ruan Xi about his grandmother's condition as soon as possible.
Ruan Xi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. According to Ruan Ping, Grandmother wasn't just ill; she was clearly suffering from the effects of the poison. However, the pulse he took before leaving the house showed that the poison wouldn't take effect so quickly, unless...
The person who poisoned the old lady attacked her again!
"Xiao Xi... I... I don't know what to do. They won't let me get close to my grandmother... and... they won't send my grandmother to the hospital. They say she can't move and they need a doctor to come to the house..." Ruan Ping was almost incoherent when he spoke the last part, his face flushed with anxiety.
"Let's go back!" Ruan Xi didn't dare to delay at all and immediately ran towards home.
By the time they got home, Ruan Ping was already gasping for breath. Ruan Xi... Ruan Xi didn't have enough physical strength, and Ruan Ping had carried her on his back without any explanation halfway. Ruan Xi's condition was much better than Ruan Ping's.
"Huh... Huh... Huh... I..." Ruan Ping wanted to say something, but he was breathing so hard that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Ruan Xi knew what he was going to say, so he patted his shoulder and said, "I'll go in and see grandma first." As he spoke, Ruan Xi rushed into the house, and Ruan Ping followed after he recovered.
Ruan Xi entered the house and saw no one in the front hall. Instead, he heard some noisy sounds upstairs. He immediately rushed upstairs without hesitation and went straight to his grandmother's room. When he ran to the door, he saw a man dressed as a doctor, holding a syringe and about to inject his grandmother.
"Stop!" Ruan Xi's sudden roar startled everyone in the room whose attention was focused on the old lady, especially the doctor. He was so scared that his hand trembled and the syringe almost fell to the ground.
Ruan Xi silently observed the scene. How could a doctor drop his medical instruments just because of a fright? He instinctively knew something was wrong with this doctor, and without hesitation, he rushed forward to separate him from the old lady.
"What medicine are you going to inject into my grandmother?" Ruan Xi asked coldly while calmly checking the old lady's pulse.
Ruan Xi's face darkened after taking the pulse. He felt a chill run down his spine. His tone was cold and chilling. "What did you feed grandma?"
When asked this question, everyone in the room was stunned. Some were angry, some were at a loss, and some looked bewildered. But Ruan Xi did not miss the panic and viciousness that flashed in some people's eyes.
Greed can indeed make people more courageous. These people really did everything they could to seize the Ruan family's property.
"Xiao Xi, what do you mean by this? Mother's diet has always been fixed. What she eats every day is clearly stated. What could be wrong? What do you want to express by making such a veiled allegation?" Aunt Zhong Jing is usually responsible for the family's diet. The diet of the old lady, the head of the family, is naturally the top priority of her work. Relatively speaking, it would be more convenient for her to tamper with the old lady's diet.
Ruan Xi smiled coldly in his heart. Perhaps, the person who did it was not Zhong Jing, but it was absolutely impossible that Zhong Jing had no connection with the person who actually poisoned him.
"Those who should understand will naturally understand what I mean. I will treat grandma's health. We don't need outside doctors here." Ruan Xi ignored Zhong Jing's shouting and glanced coldly at the doctor. When their eyes met, the man actually shrank back immediately, which made Ruan Xi more convinced of his suspicion.
This man is definitely not a doctor!
"Xiao Xi, stop messing around. Mother is sick, so she naturally needs a doctor to treat her. Stop being so willful..." Although Ruan Pingye is dull, he is truly filial to his mother. He is really anxious at this moment and is about to step forward to pull Ruan Xi away so as not to delay his mother's treatment.
However, he was stopped by his own son.
"Dad, grandma is not sick, she is poisoned. Xiaoxi can cure her! Others can't cure her! It will harm grandma!" As soon as Ruan Ping said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, shocking everyone present.
"Poisoned? How is that possible..." Ruan Chengye muttered in disbelief, staring at Ruan Xi blankly, as if waiting for a definite answer.
Ruan Xi smiled coldly, looked around at everyone, and then said, "Of course it's poisoning."
