Chapter 709 Don’t Drink!
Bian Zhi looked at the Chinese medicine in Butler Li's hand, and his heart sank.
Originally, this should be the time to confront Butler Li.
now--
"Miss, this is the medicine that Dr. Liao prescribed yesterday. I personally supervised the preparation," Butler Li said with a smile as he placed the bowl of Chinese medicine in front of Bian Zhi and thoughtfully took out a candied fruit from his palm. "I was worried that you would find it bitter, so I had someone buy this candied fruit for you from the Candied Fruit Market. If it's bitter, you can try one when you get home."
Bian Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the thick Chinese medicine soup in front of him.
Because a lethal dose of some drug was added, the soup turned black and emitted a strong pungent smell.
"Why are the color and taste of this Chinese medicine different from before?" An Xinran also noticed something was wrong and immediately pointed it out to Butler Li.
"Hey, Doctor An, you're a Western doctor, not a Chinese doctor. This Dr. Liao was hired at a high price, and it was also the doctor that the young lady agreed to see. I brewed the medicine myself, so how could it be wrong? Besides, Chinese medicine all tastes the same, how can medicine taste good?"
Housekeeper Li looked at Bian Zhi with a smile, "Miss, you must drink the medicine obediently, the child will be fine in your belly, you can't be afraid of the hardship and let the child down."
Bian Zhi looked at the medicine in front of him and thought coldly.
If she really drank it, she would not be able to let the child down. After all, she was dead, so where would the child come from?
She didn't expect that Butler Li was so impatient that he not only wanted to take the life of the child in her belly, but also her own life.
Butler Li stared at Bian Zhi with anxiety in his eyes. Bian Zhi was really in a dilemma now. The old man was still in the hands of the other party. If something happened to her, the old man would be kidnapped directly. Not to mention anything else, just being betrayed by the person who had followed him for many years, perhaps the old man's fragile heart would not be able to bear it even without anyone else's help. If there was a conflict in the middle, the old man would probably be dead.
Bian Zhi pursed her lips, looked at Butler Li, whose eyes were becoming increasingly crazy and a little impatient, and after a pause, she slowly reached out her fingers to the bowl of Chinese medicine.
See Bian Zhi take action.
Butler Li was so proud that he could hardly hide the smile on his face.
An Xinran became very anxious upon seeing this and directly grabbed Bian Zhi's hand. Steward Li also paused and then looked at An Xinran.
"Boss Bian," An Xinran also knew that there was something wrong with this bowl of medicine. She kept tightening her grip on Bian Zhi's hand, "This medicine is hot. Let me blow on it for you."
As she spoke, An Xinran stretched out her hand, and just as she was about to touch the edge of the bowl, Butler Li reached out and brushed her hand away.
"This medicine should be taken while it's hot. It's not like drinking milk tea. How can it be too hot? Besides, miss, I tested the temperature of this medicine before bringing it in. It's just right."
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of medicine in front of An Xinran and handed it directly to Bian Zhi.
This is a naked temptation.
Test whether Bian Zhi and An Xinran were the ones who went to the prison that night.
He was testing whether Bian Zhi's courtesy, trust and reliance during this period were just a temporary measure to make him let down his guard.
Testing whether Bian Zhi had already seen through him.
Steward Li's eyes were respectful, but there was murderous intent hidden in them.
"What's wrong?"
"Young lady, don't you want to drink?"
"This is the medicine I brewed for you myself."
"Or... you don't completely trust me from the bottom of your heart?"
Butler Li looked straight at Bian Zhi, and one of his hands had already withdrawn from the medicine bowl and put it in his pocket.
Before entering, he had instructed his subordinates in the country that if anything went wrong here, they should kidnap the old man and send him to an uninhabited island by helicopter. By then, even if Bian Zhi had a powerful calculator, he would not be able to locate that place where there was no signal at all.
He had been planning this move for a long time, so how could he fail at this moment?
Butler Li didn't say much and fell completely silent. He just held the medicine in one hand and carefully watched Bian Zhi's reaction. The hand in his pocket was already ready to send a message.
The scene was quiet for a while.
In the cold and silent atmosphere, breathing seemed to freeze.
Bian Zhi smiled and saw out of the corner of her eye that Butler Li's fingers curled slightly in his pocket as she moved slightly.
"Butler Li is so thoughtful, thank you." Bian Zhi took the bowl from Butler Li with a smile.
Butler Li's eyes changed immediately. He stared at the bowl of medicine held by Bian Zhi, his expression filled with a mad obsession, "Then drink it quickly."
Bian Zhi curled up the fingers holding the medicine bowl.
"Okay." She lifted the bowl slightly and moved her fingers from the bottom of the bowl to the body. Just as she was about to move, the office door was suddenly pushed open with force.
Huo Laosan walked in.
An Xinran breathed a sigh of relief and took the bowl of medicine directly from Bian Zhi's hand.
Butler Li frowned upon seeing this. Just as he was about to snatch the bowl of medicine from An Xinran's hand, he heard Huo Lao San hurriedly say to Butler Li, "Butler Li, don't stay here. Li Hongyao's hand is broken!"
Butler Li's eyes widened when he heard this, "What!"
"I don't know how it broke off without any reaction. He said his whole hand has lost all reaction. Now he's rolling on the ground crying and yelling for his parents. You should go down and check on him!"
Upon hearing this, Butler Li looked at the bowl of medicine in An Xinran's hand unwillingly, narrowed his eyes, and was dragged away by the anxious Huo Lao San.
Only when the office was completely quiet did An Xinran breathe a sigh of relief.
Bian Zhi took the medicine from her hand, placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "I was thinking that you didn't learn this technique well enough. It's been so long, and Li Hongyao hasn't had an attack yet."
An Xinran felt extremely apologetic. "Boss Bian, I'm sorry. I was exposed, so they tried to test you like this. It's all my fault."
Bian Zhi lowered his eyes and shook his head. "It was a test of you, and also a test of me. I'm not 100% sure. If I were really sure," Bian Zhi lowered his voice a little, "Li Hongyao would have attacked you directly."
Bian Zhi narrowed his eyes and his gaze fell on the bowl of medicine on the table again.
Li Hongyao's hand looked fine on the surface, but the meridians inside were broken. After the group's doctor examined it, he said on the spot that this hand would be useless from now on.
Butler Li and Li Hongyao were dumbfounded on the spot.
"This, it was fine just now! How come it's broken now?!"
"I didn't get any bumps during this process! Doctor, please take a good look at me!"
"This child is still young. If this hand is disabled, his life will be ruined! Doctor, you must think of a solution!"
The doctor was silent for a few minutes and then shook his head.
During these few seconds of silence, Butler Li suddenly remembered that Bian Zhi was known as an orthopedic expert in China.
His heart tightened.
Bian Zhi heard Li Hongyao's wailing in the office. When the footsteps came, Bian Zhi seemed to understand something. She smiled and picked up the bowl on the table.
When Butler Li stumbled into the room, he saw Bian Zhi holding the bowl of wine and about to drink it.
He almost fell on the spot, raised his hand, and shouted, "Miss! Don't, don't drink!"
