Xu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently into his eyes to make sure he wasn't lying.
It turns out that Li Rui actually hired Ni Qianshan as a pawn to harm his father. Although he didn't find the antidote on this trip, it wasn't a complete waste.
Ni Qianshan is the kind of person who would harm anyone for money. His relationship with his daughter wasn't as strained back then as it is now. His father is Ni Sitian's father-in-law, yet he shows no regard whatsoever.
"I'm warning you, don't bother Ni Sitian again, or things won't be as simple as they are today." Xu Tingchuan stabbed the knife into the solid wood coffee table and released Ni Qianshan's collar.
Then, he turned around and went outside. Once outside, he called Xu Haicheng to remind him about the gift box.
He returned home at one o'clock in the morning.
Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, my hopes of finding a clue were dashed.
Where exactly would Li Rui hide the antidote? In a place they would never expect?
Xu Tingchuan frowned, walked into the bedroom, looked at Ni Sitian sleeping soundly on the bed, took her hand, and pressed his forehead against hers.
Where could it be? Li Rui served fifteen years in prison and has been out for less than a year. He should be more familiar with Yihai City than they are. How come they can't figure it out?
The next day, when Ni Sitian woke up, she saw Xu Tingchuan lying slumped on the bed, still wearing his shoes, with his cheeks slightly red.
She reached out and touched his forehead; it was burning hot.
She was so anxious that she immediately got out of bed, found an ear thermometer in the first-aid kit, and measured her temperature at 38.5 degrees Celsius.
Ni Sitian hurriedly went to the bathroom to wring out an ice towel and use it to cool him down physically.
I went to the kitchen, cooked some porridge, brought it over, and gently shook him awake.
Xu Tingchuan woke up with a throbbing headache and saw a worried look on his face. He wanted to ask, but found that his voice was terribly hoarse.
"Don't talk. You have a fever. I cooked some porridge for you. Eat some first to fill your stomach, then take a fever reducer." Ni Sitian was afraid that if he took the medicine directly, his stomach would feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
Xu Tingchuan raised his hand and touched his forehead. Sure enough, it was a little hot. How could he get sick at a time like this?
"Don't think too much, the important thing is to bring down the fever." Ni Sitian supported him and gently fed him porridge.
After feeding him the porridge, I gave him the medicine.
Ni Sitian noticed a faint frown line between his brows, which must have been caused by his constant worry for her these past few days.
He was originally very healthy, and apart from the stomach ailment he had last year, he had never been sick. It was all because of her poison that he became ill from worry.
“I don’t have any candy.” Ni Sitian saw him swallow the pills without hesitation and leaned in to touch his lips.
Xu Tingchuan couldn't help but chuckle slightly. Did she think he was as childish as her?
Seeing that he smiled, Ni Sitian covered him with a blanket, helped him lie down, and said, "You should get a good night's sleep. We can think of something to do once the fever goes down."
Xu Tingchuan couldn't relax and sleep at all. However, he had indeed stayed up for three consecutive nights and his body was starting to give out. Finally, he fell asleep under Ni Sitian's gentle coaxing.
Ni Sitian put a fever-reducing patch on his forehead, and only after watching him fall into a deep sleep did she get up and leave the bedroom.
As it turned out, Xu Tingchuan's recovery ability was truly first-rate; he was fully recovered by the afternoon.
Ni Sitian advised him to rest some more, but he insisted on getting up.
Over the next few days, he watched the surveillance footage at night and went out in the morning to search the places Li Rui had been.
Ni Sitian didn't waste any time and finished the script in early August.
However, she now needs to sleep at least sixteen hours a day.
