Chapter 844 Where is Cheng Yan's USB Drive? (Update 1)
Jiang Xin's family was shocked by Ruan Qi's immediate and effective acupuncture technique.
Jiang Yan: "Isn't this amazing? One shot and he stopped coughing?!"
Bo also poured Jiang Xin a glass of water and asked her, "Mom, how do you feel?"
"Much better." Jiang Xin covered her chest with her hands, a look of surprise on her face. "My chest isn't as heavy anymore, my breathing is smoother, and even my head is much clearer."
Isn’t this amazing?
It’s just a needle, but it’s so powerful!
Jiang Yan and Bo also once again gained a new understanding of Ruan Qi's medical skills, and looked at her with more eagerness.
"Axin, quickly give your hand to Xiaoqi and let her take your pulse." Jiang Yan said anxiously.
Jiang Xin also realized Ruan Qi's superb medical skills and reached out her hand in cooperation.
"Xiao Qi, thank you for your help."
"Aunt Jiang, you're welcome." Ruan Qi smiled at Jiang Xin with curved eyebrows, then took out a pulse pillow from the medicine box and placed it on Jiang Xin's wrist.
She carefully took Jiang Xin's pulse.
Just as Jiang Yan had said, Jiang Xin's condition was caused by depression. Because the depression had lasted for too long, it had affected all of her internal organs. Coupled with her age and weakened immunity, red flags were flashing throughout her body.
Heart, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract... Jiang Xin has too many diseases.
"Aunt Jiang has too many ailments, all of which are chronic and require careful treatment. Her illnesses are like threads being pulled out, and a full recovery will probably take a year."
Jiang Yan and Bo Ye had already prepared for Jiang Xin to die at any time, but they didn't expect Ruan Qi to say that she would be able to fully recover in a year. They were both shocked.
"One year? Sister-in-law, can my mother really be cured?!" Bo couldn't believe it.
Ruan Qi nodded: "It can be cured. However, I can heal the body, but I can't heal the heart. If Aunt Jiang wants to prevent a relapse in the future, she has to rely on herself to adjust her mood. Aunt Jiang, you have to think more positively."
Jiang Xin naturally knew where her problem lay. She smiled bitterly and said, "I'll try my best."
Ruan Qi felt more sympathy for this gentle woman.
She also has brothers and sisters, so she understands Jiang Xin's feelings very well. Imagine if Ruan Munan lost his life in front of her, then she might be like Jiang Xin, depressed for the rest of her life and unable to get over it.
Ruan Qi sighed inwardly and patted Jiang Xin's hand comfortingly.
"Even for Bo Ye, Aunt Jiang, you have to take care of yourself. I'll prescribe you some medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and promote sleep. After taking it, your body will feel more relaxed."
Ruan Qi took out a pen and paper and skillfully wrote down several prescriptions.
She wrote down the decoction and usage instructions for the medicine, and then gave Jiang Xin acupuncture. By the time she finished all this, it was already noon.
Under the hospitality of the Jiang family, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu had a sumptuous lunch here. Afterwards, they said goodbye and left.
"Aunt Jiang, take good care of yourself. I'll come back to check on you next week."
Ruan Qi waved out of the car window, and the black Maybach slowly drove out of the compound.
…
For the next few days, Ruan Qi stayed on the crew.
"City of Youth" has already aired two-thirds of its episodes, with only five or six episodes left before the finale. Due to the simultaneous filming and broadcasting model, the entire crew is under tremendous pressure, and everyone's requirements for filming have become increasingly demanding.
Ruan Qi had been working on the script on the set for several days and had no time to think about anything else. Therefore, she didn't notice that Xi Jiu had been chatting with her on WeChat much less frequently than before.
At Q Base, the atmosphere in the office was extremely depressing.
Several members of the investigation team sat on the sofa, not daring to breathe. Bai Yuchen and Gu Feiyang sat at their desks, one on each side, their faces gloomy.
"With so many people, we can't even find a USB drive!"
Bai Yuchen slammed his water cup down on the table, looking a bit irritated. "It's been over half a month, and we haven't found any clues. If I tell anyone about this, they'll laugh at me!"
Gu Feiyang's eyes, which were always smiling, darkened. "What did the Eagle Division say?"
Bai Yuchen looked up at the window.
By the floor-to-ceiling window, Xi Jiu stood silently in the light and shadow of the setting sun. The dim light shone on half of his face, flickering.
"No clues," he said. "The Eagle Division has checked all of Cheng Yan's movements over the past six months, but hasn't found a USB drive anywhere she's been."
More than half a month ago, Cheng Yan slandered Ruan Qi online during the Rongyao League Global Finals, saying that Ruan Qi was mentally ill and that she had a video of Ruan Qi jumping off the rooftop of a hospital.
Xi Jiu discovered this matter immediately and arrested Cheng Yan on the spot.
Bai Yuchen and Qin Qingdi used various methods to interrogate Cheng Yan, and she finally revealed the truth: Ruan Qi had been hospitalized last year due to a shock and was unconscious. She had sleepwalked and jumped from the rooftop in the middle of the night. Cheng Yan happened to be in the hospital that day and had secretly recorded a video of Ruan Qi jumping from the building.
Her original plan was to use this video to force Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu to break up, and then expose the video to the public, so that Ruan Qi would be labeled as mentally ill and ruined.
But plans are not as fast as changes. The USB flash drive where she saved the video was lost, and she had no idea when or where it was lost.
Ruan Qi is a public figure, and this USB flash drive is like a time bomb. If it is picked up by someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, to protect the little girl, Xi Jiu, Ruan Munan, and Cheng Jinyan began investigating the whereabouts of the USB flash drive after the Rongyao League finals. However, the imperial capital was too vast, and trying to find a USB flash drive in such a large city was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xi Jiu had been busy with this matter these days. He led the Q Base and the Eagle Division to investigate Cheng Yan's whereabouts for the past six months, and then searched every inch of her past, but found nothing.
Bai Yuchen: "We've searched every club, bar, and restaurant Cheng Yan visited, but none of the staff at these places have found the USB drive. What should we do next? We can't just put a lost and found notice in an advertisement, can we?"
The lost and found notice must not be posted. This USB drive involves Ruan Qi's privacy, and it cannot be made public.
Xi Jiu looked at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Assuming the USB drive wasn't thrown into the trash as waste, and wasn't picked up by staff in public places, then who would be interested in a USB drive? Or, in other words, who would be interested in Cheng Yan's things?"
These words made everyone's eyes light up.
Bai Yuchen immediately shouted, "Cheng Yan's friend, or someone she knows!"
It was just a USB drive, worth a few dozen yuan. Few people would bend down to pick it up if it fell on the ground. Unless they knew Cheng Yan and wanted to see what was in her USB drive.
Xi Jiu: "Investigate everyone Cheng Yan has come into contact with in the past six months, especially those who were close to her. Search them one by one. We must find the USB drive."
