Seeing A-Chao's hesitation, Shen Muzhi said directly, "Speak up, there's nothing to hide."
Ah Chao nodded and replied, "After Li Rui was released from prison, he contacted his former friends. The reason he was able to sideline Feng Nianyao so quickly was not only because of Tang Guodong's support, but more importantly because of this new type of poison. He used that poison to make people have no choice but to be loyal to him."
Shen Muzhi frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of poison is it?"
Ah Chao shook his head and said, "It is said that after the injection, it will lie dormant in the body for a period of time. When it will take effect varies from person to person. Once it takes effect, if the antidote is not injected in time, it will feel like being eaten by thousands of ants and die suddenly."
Ni Sitian's legs buckled and her body leaned backward.
Xu Tingchuan caught her in time and asked softly, "Are you still dizzy?"
Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze and nodded haphazardly.
"Let me help you back first," Xu Tingchuan said, holding Ni Sitian's arm.
"No need, I'm fine." Ni Sitian was a little absent-minded. Could this be the kind of thing Li Rui injected her with?
Is Xiang Zhilan alright?
She looked up at Zhi Lan, only to see that his expression was normal.
However, Zhi Lan was unconscious at the time, so even if she was injected with something, she might not have known it.
"Your face is all pale, yet you say you're fine." Xu Tingchuan insisted on helping her back to rest.
Ni Sitian had no choice but to let him help her back to the ward and lie down on the bed to rest.
After they left, Shen Muzhi said to A Chao, "Tell me anything else."
"The one we just saw was developed earlier this year. I heard there's a new experimental one that's even more powerful, capable of killing people without them even realizing it, but it seems to still be in the experimental stage and hasn't been actually developed or used yet."
"What is it?" Xiang Zhilan asked in confusion.
"If the development is successful, the effect will also have a latency period in the body, but when it takes effect, there will be no feeling. You will only become more and more sleepy, sleeping more and more each day. You will not know when you will fall asleep and never wake up. Moreover, the autopsy will not find anything. The cause of death will be the same as cardiac arrest."
"Why is Li Rui developing this kind of drug?" Xiang Zhilan asked, puzzled. The previous one could be said to control others and make them work harder, but this one makes people sleepy. Wouldn't that render subordinates unable to perform their duties?
Shen Muzhi's expression darkened slightly, probably because he wanted to kill someone he couldn't directly provoke.
"This poison has failed multiple times so far, with not a single success," A-Chao said.
"It's better if this kind of harmful thing doesn't succeed." Xiang Zhilan found it terrifying to even hear. People could die without even realizing it. If it were developed on a large scale, wouldn't it make killing people even easier in the future?
"Keep those people in custody for now, continue searching for Li Rui, we must find him." Shen Muzhi gave the order in a deep voice, determined to send this dangerous guy, Li Rui, back to prison.
"Yes." Ah Chao nodded and left the ward.
Shen Muzhi looked at Zhi Lan and reached directly for the buttons on her clothes.
Xiang Zhilan was slightly taken aback. Looking down, she saw that he had already unbuttoned two of her buttons!
"What are you doing!" She grabbed his hand, looking at him nervously.
She knows he is her husband, and she accepts it now, but she is not mentally prepared to do anything with him in a hospital bed!
"Will you take it off yourself, or should I help you?" Shen Muzhi asked her calmly.
Xiang Zhilan crossed her arms, wary, and stammered, "Why should I take my clothes off?"
