Chapter 31 It’s time to get down to business



"If you have any questions, you can explore them yourself. I'm not interested in this..." Ruan Xi said, gave He Ziqian a business-like smile, and then, taking advantage of the moment when He Ziqian was stunned, turned around and walked out of the medical room.

"Xiao Xi, how is Qinghua? Has the poison been removed?" The old lady's eyes were fixed on the door of the medical room. As soon as Ruan Xi walked out of the door, the old lady immediately stood up and walked towards him. There was no intention to hide the urgency in her words and expression.

"Grandma, please take your time. You haven't fully recovered yet." Seeing the old lady stumble slightly, Ruan Xi quickly stepped forward and supported the old lady. "Grandma, please sit down first."

Frankly speaking, the news that Ruan Xi wanted to tell him was not very good. Home medical equipment had limited functions and could not directly analyze the specific information of the several neurotoxins present in Ruan Huaqing's body. To put it bluntly, the information was not as detailed as the information Ruan Xi obtained from taking his pulse. At least Ruan Xi was confident in this. He really couldn't handle the equipment.

"Xiao Xi, don't hide it from grandma. What's your aunt's condition like? Is she... incurable?" She was only poisoned by one kind of poison and almost lost her life. But her daughter was poisoned by several kinds of poison at the same time. And judging from Ruan Xi's expression, any one of them must be extremely dangerous. The person who poisoned her daughter obviously wanted to kill her daughter!

It’s really vicious!

"It's not incurable, but it's much more troublesome than before. Grandmother, I want to interrogate Ma Hao." The neurotoxin that Ruan Huaqing was infected with was different from all the poisons he knew. It's not that he couldn't analyze the information of those neurotoxins using traditional Chinese medicine, but it would take a lot of time, and there were no relevant auxiliary medicinal materials.

Obviously, he doesn't have much time available now, and Ruan Huaqing's life is in danger.

"Interrogate Ma Hao? You want to..." The old lady immediately thought of Ruan Xi's intention, but at Ruan Xi's signal, she didn't say anything.

"Well, this saves time." His fighting power is not high, but he can still use some methods of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Okay, housekeeper, you go with Xiaoxi and don't let that beast hurt Xiaoxi." Although no evidence has been found yet, the old lady has basically determined Ma Hao's guilt, and she will definitely not let Ma Hao go.

Ruan Xi could naturally guess this. In fact, during the short few minutes when he was talking to the old lady, he also looked at the other people in the family calmly. Everyone had a similar nervousness or fear on their face, but the look in their eyes was very different.

For example, although my aunt's fear was apparent, her eyes revealed a bit of uncontrollable excitement. What was she excited about?

For example, his younger brother Ruan Jun was really scared and almost curled up into a ball, clinging tightly to his mother for comfort.

For example, her mother...

"Why are you looking at me? Are you just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves? You prepared the antidote but you are dragging your feet and not giving it to us. You even pretend to want to wait. Do you want to wait until we are all dead before you detoxify us? Is there a son like you?" As soon as Miao Shulan's eyes met Ruan Xi's, she exploded on the spot with a bang, like a lit cannonball.

These words were so heartbreaking that anyone with a slightly fragile mentality would not be able to bear such accusations, but not Ruan Xi.

"Come to think of it, I'm actually quite skeptical... Am I your biological son? We both call each other mom, but you treat Ruan Jun with all your heart, but you treat me harshly. Regardless of anything else, just considering fairness, do you think I should be nice to you? After all, I just died at the hands of Ruan Jun!" Ruan Xi said the word "death" nonchalantly, but everyone else in the room frowned when they heard it, especially the old lady, who couldn't bear to hear the word at all.

"Xiao Xi, don't talk nonsense, you are fine!" Thinking of the poisonous snake, the old lady was also scared. When she looked at her second son and his wife and Ruan Jun, there was more blame in her eyes.

It's not that she doesn't care about this matter, but she hasn't found the time yet. Once the current matters are dealt with, she will definitely have to sort it out clearly. How could he actually attack his own family, especially his own brother? No matter how spoiled he is, he can't be so lawless.

"Yes, I said the wrong thing, grandma. Let's not waste any more time here. I will go and interrogate Ma Hao first. After Ma Hao's matter is settled, we can settle the previous accounts." As he said this, Ruan Xi glanced at Ruan Jun coldly, with an ambiguous meaning.

Ruan Jun was so frightened that he shuddered and threw himself into his mother's arms without hesitation, "Mom..."

"You..." Miao Shulan was about to explode again when she saw this, but unfortunately, Ruan Xi was completely impatient to deal with her.

"Please, don't waste my time. My aunt's life is still waiting for me to save her." Ruan Xi really disdained to argue with Miao Shulan. He was annoyed even if he looked at her for one more time. He patted the old lady's back soothingly, and then followed the housekeeper to the room where Ma Hao was imprisoned.

However, he did not notice that Miao Shulan's expression was a little strange. In the end, she even did not dare to look Ruan Xi in the eye. She looked obviously timid, but was ignored by everyone. Even Ruan Jun, who was in his arms, did not notice.

Ruan Xi walked into the room where Ma Hao was imprisoned and saw Ma Hao, who looked miserable. Although his hands and feet were tied and he could not move, the look he gave Ruan Xi was full of indignation and malice.

You don't even want to act anymore?

That's good, it saves him from having to go around in circles.

Ruan Xi walked to the bedside and without hesitation, pulled off the bandages sealing his mouth. He asked directly, "What kind of neurotoxins did you give my aunt?"

Such a direct interrogation, not only Ma Hao was stunned, even the housekeeper beside him was stunned, silently wanting to hold his forehead.

How could one possibly get an answer from asking this? If Ma Hao could just tell the truth so easily, Ruan Xi wouldn't have to interrogate him personally. The butler had tried many times before, and all had failed without exception. Ma Hao had given up hope, and no matter what the butler did, he couldn't get his mouth to open.

Sure enough, after Ma Hao was stunned for a few seconds, he burst into arrogant laughter. However, his laughter was so hoarse that it made people's ears hurt a little.

"Hahahaha... they are all little flowers in a greenhouse. Do you think I can tell you so easily?"

Ruan Xi looked at Ma Hao with an expressionless face as he acted arrogantly, without any anger or annoyance, as if nothing had happened. This made Ma Hao less arrogant.

"I see you don't want to save your aunt at all? You don't seem sincere when asking. What, are you also eyeing the Ruan family's property? Then you have a fight to make. Without Ruan Huaqing, you still have at least two big mountains in front of you..." Ma Hao actually started talking about the skills of "family fighting" again, and his words sounded quite earnest. Hearing this, Ruan Xi wanted to applaud him.

"You have a good eloquence. Why don't you just talk about the issue of neurotoxins instead of other things?" Ruan Xi remained calm throughout, as if he would never get angry.

But Ma Hao seemed to be born a grasshopper. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't jump high for a moment. He would say whatever might touch Ruan Xi's heart, from his father, mother, and brother to the old lady. Ruan Xi's expression finally changed slightly.

Just when Ma Hao was about to make another effort, a fist with a strong wind hit his face. With a dull thud, Ma Hao flew backwards off the bed and hit the wall heavily. Then, as expected, he fell to the ground on his face. The posture was quite funny.

Anyway, Ruan Xi couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Why are you here?" Don't continue to think about the question "This planet is strange"?

"I'll help you solve your problem first, and then you help me solve my problem. How about we help each other?" He Ziqian said seriously. Ruan Xi only thought about it for a few seconds and nodded seriously. "Okay, deal."

"You guys go out first, I'll ask for you." As for how to ask, He Ziqian didn't say, and he wouldn't take the initiative to ask. At most, he was a little curious.

He Ziqian's interrogation was very quick. Not to mention five minutes, it was less than three minutes before he walked out of the room. Ruan Xi subconsciously glanced back and saw Ma Hao lying on the ground like a dead dog, almost out of breath.

"It's all here." He Ziqian handed Ruan Xi a piece of paper, on which was written the answer that Ruan Xi wanted to know.

"OK, leave it to me from now on." Ruan Xi took the note and smiled slightly, then turned and walked away. After a few steps, he looked back at He Ziqian and said, "How about you come and help me?"

After all, it's obvious at first glance that this man isn't someone who can get along well with the people at home. Moreover, the speed at which he came up with the results was so fast that it almost seemed as if he was the one who poisoned the person. People with a few tricks in their heads might have such suspicions at any time, so it's better to keep him around so that there won't be any trouble.

As for Ma Hao, there will naturally be a butler to take care of the follow-up.

With a clear goal in mind, the housekeeper fetched the relevant medicinal herbs for Ruan Xi as quickly as possible. Although, in Ruan Xi's eyes, they were all clones of very low quality, no matter how much he disliked them, he had to use them first. After all, the old lady had basically used up all the herbs he had found.

The poison in Ruan Huaqing's body was quickly cured, and Ruan Xi also cured the poison in his parents and brother. However, due to the quality of the medicinal materials, their recovery speed was far slower than that of the old lady. This made Miao Shulan look at Ruan Xi with even more disgust.

Ruan Xi: "...Tell me the truth, I'm not your biological child, am I?" The original owner had always firmly believed that she was her parents' biological child, but Ruan Xi became doubtful the first time she met Miao Shu.

What kind of parents treat their children like this? This is basically a feud!

"..." Miao Shulan's neck stiffened, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Although she didn't say anything, her attitude alone was enough for Ruan Xi to figure out something.

Wow, that’s great, there really is a story behind this!

However, let’s not talk about whether it’s a story or not for now. Right now, the most important thing is to get down to business.

"Grandma, the poison has been removed. Let's deal with the bad things that have happened at home recently. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day I will fall asleep and never wake up." Of course, this is just talk. The original owner is easy to deal with, but he, Ruan Xi, is not.

"Well, it's time to get down to business."
