Shen Mao sat down on the empty sofa, took a tissue and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "What are you looking at? I think he's doing fine now."
Just now he heard from Yu Ci on the phone that Cheng Wu seemed to have been drugged by an aphrodisiac. Since he was drugged, the best solution was to send him to the hospital or find someone to help him.
As a doctor, it's not that he can't cure the disease, but he can't get many of the medicines in a short time. Even if he did, Cheng Wu might not be able to wait for him, so sending the patient to the hospital is the most appropriate option.
But since Cheng Wu cannot go to the hospital due to his family, the latter is the most practical method at the moment.
I think Cheng Si also knows about this situation. He was called here just to ask him to help Cheng Wu check his body later to see if the medicine has any side effects or drug residues.
If he went in at this time, Cheng San would definitely send people to hunt him down to the ends of the earth.
In that case, all he had to do was sit here and wait for the people inside to finish their "treatment".
So Shen Mao was not in a hurry, and even leisurely poured himself a cup of tea: "Don't be anxious, there's no point in being anxious, it will end naturally when it's time to end."
Xu Qian looked at Yu Ci: "Brother Ci, this..."
Yu Ci dragged a pillow behind his head and leaned back on the sofa. Hearing this, he glanced at Xu Qian and said, "Wait, they are fine."
Now that Brother Ci had spoken, Xu Qian felt relieved.
He looked around, dragged a chair and sat down next to Shi Jin: "Shi——"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was at a loss for words. Xu Qian hesitated for a moment and simply skipped the title: "Are you here with Brother Ci?"
"No," Shi Jin pursed her lips, "I just happened to meet her."
Shen Mao had rested enough now, and leaned over to look over: "Hey, you're not the one that night--"
He secretly glanced at Yu Ci who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked mysteriously: "What is your relationship with Yu Ci?"
Xu Qian brought two glasses of water and handed one to Shi Jin: "Come, drink some water."
Shi Jin took the cup and said, "Thank you."
He took a sip of the warm tea and said calmly, "Roommate relationship."
"No way." Shen Mao didn't believe it. He stared at Shi Jin suspiciously: "How can Yu Ci be so anxious just because we are roommates? You don't know how cold the wind was when he pulled me out of the bed that night."
As he spoke, he shuddered, as if to prove the truth of his words with his own actions: "It's really cold!"
Shi Jin paused holding the cup, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't." Shen Mao waved his hands repeatedly: "It's a small matter, and I'm not saying this to ask for your thanks."
He just wanted to gossip.
After all, over the years, the only person who could make Yu Ci ask for help was Cheng Si and him.
But Cheng Si and Yu Ci are close friends, and Shi Jin......
As far as he knew, these two people seemed to have only known each other for two months?
There is a ghost, absolutely there is a ghost.
Shen Mao held his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
Xu Qian saw that the conversation between the two seemed to have stopped. Just as he was about to ask about the time, he heard a clear sound coming from the bathroom door behind him - Kata.
The bathroom door opened.
Cheng Si entered the room holding Cheng Wu, who had fallen asleep in his arms.
Shen Mao blinked twice and counted silently in his heart.
When the number reached 60, there was movement in the room: "Shen Mao, come in."
"Coming." Shen Mao stood up with a leap, carrying a medical kit on his back: "I'll go in and check him out, you guys wait outside for a while."
Xu Qian picked up Shen Mao's other medicine box and said, "Then I'll go in and help you?"
"No need." Shen Mao shook his head and refused, taking the medicine box from him: "Cheng Si probably doesn't want too many people to go in, I'll just go and take a look."
"That's right." Xu Qian scratched his head and watched Shen Mao enter the room.
The door of the room was closed.
Shi Jin pursed her lips and looked at Yu Ci who was lying on the sofa.
The man was wearing a black suit today, which gave him a more serious look compared to his usual casual look.
He had a well-proportioned body, his tall figure lying sideways on the sofa, his dress tight at the waist and abdomen, outlining his straight and slender legs.
He wore a neat white shirt underneath the suit, but the jacket was loose and two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing a small portion of his collarbone.
The eyebrows that were once flamboyant were now slightly closed, with black eyelashes draped under the eyes, which somewhat subdued the sharpness of the tail of the eyebrows.
As if she noticed Shi Jin's gaze, her long black eyelashes slightly lifted, and her sharp eyebrows also raised at the same time: "Does it look good?"
A familiar beginning.
Shi Jin also replied: "It looks good."
Yu Ci chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "Five hundred per minute, no credit."
So Shi Jin also laughed.
The young man who used to look indifferent curved his lips, and a hint of smile appeared in his usually calm eyes: "Then I won't watch it."
Yu Ci raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Xu Qian, who had just gone to the door of the room to inquire about the situation, came back: "It seems that there is no movement inside, it should be fine."
"But today's farewell banquet was really not peaceful." Xu Qian smacked his lips twice: "First, something went wrong with the grandson that Mr. Qin found, and then Cheng Wu was drugged. So many things happened in just two hours."
"The Qin family is really unlucky."
Yu Ci subconsciously glanced at Shi Jin, but only saw the young man's calm face.
He frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Qin Mo's grandson got into trouble?"
"Ah, Brother Ci, don't you know?"
After saying this, Xu Qian remembered that Yu Ci seemed to have slipped away before the meeting started, so he didn't see what happened in the venue at all.
He scratched his nose and explained, "After the banquet started, after Mr. Qin gave his eulogy, he said he wanted to introduce his grandson to everyone. Then, something unexpected happened and the grandson never showed up. Mr. Qin's face turned pale at the time."
"Then in the middle of the banquet, Mr. Qin brought someone up on stage and introduced him to everyone as his grandson. I think his name was Xie Shizhang. He looked quite handsome, but a little... how should I put it? He seemed a little sloppy."
Xu Qian recalled the scene when Mr. Qin introduced Xie Shizhang to everyone on the stage just now, and he didn't know how to describe it.
"But that's not the point. The point is—"
Having said this, he deliberately kept the audience in suspense and looked at Yu Ci and Shi Jin, hoping to see expressions of anxiety or expectation on their faces.
However, he only saw two faces with the same calm expressions.
Xu Qian slumped his shoulders and continued with some disappointment: "It seems that Xie Shizhang was not the person that Mr. Qin wanted to introduce at first. We heard him arguing with Mr. Qin backstage. Later, he seemed to have produced some kind of proof, and Mr. Qin accepted him. That's why Mr. Qin went on stage for the second time."
Yu Ci frowned slightly: "How did you know this?"
"Not only did I know, everyone present at the time knew about it." Xu Qian touched his nose, "I don't know who put a few microphones in the backstage, and the speakers and loudspeakers in the front were not turned off, so when they were arguing, the sound came through the speakers."
And there is one most bizarre thing he hasn’t said yet.
Normally, for such a large banquet, the Qin family would always arrange some people to be on duty at the venue, so that if any unexpected situation occurred, they would have time to make timely adjustments or remedies. But just now, the speaker was played for such a long time, and no one went backstage to notify Grandpa Qin.
"It was during that time that Chengwu drank the wine and Chinese medicine." Xu Qian said, a little puzzled: "But the wine was originally for Third Brother to drink, and it was later that Chengwu wanted to try it, so Third Brother gave it to him. So if the person who drugged Chengwu wanted to drug him, he shouldn't have used this method."
"Could it be——"
"The medicine is for me." Cheng Si's hoarse voice interrupted Xu Qian's guess.
Xu Qian turned his head in surprise: "Third brother, you came out? What's the situation in there?"
"Everything is fine. There is no drug residue. It's just an ordinary aphrodisiac. The drug is not too strong." Shen Mao walked out of the room with the medicine box and closed the door. "I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"That's good." Xu Qian nodded, and suddenly remembered what Cheng Si had just said, so he turned to look at Cheng Si: "Third brother, what did you mean by that just now?"
Cheng Si pinched his throbbing brows and said, "I originally thought that someone knew about Cheng Wu and drugged him to deal with the Cheng family."
"But I just heard Shen Mao say that the medicine was just an ordinary medicine, and the wine was put in my glass, which means that this person came for me, and Cheng Wu just happened to drink that glass of wine."
Yu Ci frowned: "Do you have any suspects?"
"No." Cheng Si shook his head, his eyebrows aching more and more: "My mind is in a mess right now, and I can't think of who would drug me for the time being."
Xu Qian boldly made a guess: "Could it be a boyfriend you dumped before, or someone who loves you?"
"It's not impossible." Shen Mao agreed with this statement and looked at Cheng Si: "Why don't you think about it carefully?"
"Is the wine glass with the drug still there?" Shi Jin said, "There should be surveillance cameras in the banquet hall. You can contact the hotel to retrieve the surveillance."
"Yes." Shen Mao nodded: "If the wine glass is still there, we can send it for testing."
Xu Qian stood up and said, "Then I'll contact the hotel to check the surveillance."
"I'll find someone to go." Cheng Si pressed his increasingly painful brow and said to see the guests off: "You guys go back and rest first, I'll arrange for someone to handle this."
Yu Ci glanced at him.
Cheng Si lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, seeming very tired.
Yu Ci's brows relaxed and he stood up simply: "Okay, then we'll go first."
Xu Qian and Shen Mao followed him out.
Shi Jin sat on the sofa without moving.
Cheng Si released his hand that was pressing on his forehead and looked at Shi Jin: "Why didn't you leave?"
Shi Jin looked back at him and said calmly, "You know who drugged me."
