Upon hearing the commotion outside, Xu Ling'er immediately ran out, but just as Ruan Qing'an was about to chase after her, Qin Yue suddenly blocked her way, and there were even security personnel present.
Ruan Qing'an's expression darkened slightly, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Young Master Qin Yue, please step aside. Qin Xi has fallen ill, and I need to go see him."
"It's no longer needed."
Qin Yue chuckled lightly, his expression ambiguous.
Ruan Qing'an then turned her head and saw Qin Cheng and the housekeeper standing not far behind her. Qin Cheng said matter-of-factly, "Dr. Ruan, your treatment has not been effective. Let Dr. Xu try it first. You should get some rest."
The claim that it's ineffective is utter nonsense!
Ruan Qing'an's eyes darkened slightly. Mental illnesses aren't something that can be treated on the first day and the next day and the patient will be lively and energetic again. It's already a blessing that Qin Xi's condition is improving steadily and there are no signs of deterioration!
The reason for suggesting that Xu Ling'er give it a try was simply because they were worried that if Ruan Qing'an continued the treatment, Qin Cheng would completely lose control of Qin Xi.
Just then, a maid trotted over and said, "Sir, Dr. Xu would like to have security personnel go and help."
"Okay, call her over there, listen to her."
Qin Cheng nodded, and the butler immediately understood his meaning; it seemed that Xu Ling'er would be in charge of the treatment from now on.
Ruan Qing'an ignored them and stared intently at the maid: "What exactly happened? Why did we need to call security? What happened to Qin Xi?"
"Actually, when the young master has an attack, most of us avoid him because it seems like he thinks everyone who gets close to him is going to attack him. He will attack us every time, so we can only avoid him."
"Delusions of persecution?"
Ruan Qing'an paused, then turned to look at Qin Cheng, his face darkening as he said, "My suggestion is to let me go over there now to see Qin Xi. He already has a strong tendency to attack because of paranoia. Why are you letting so many people and a stranger go over there?"
She didn't understand the normal system of psychology, but Ruan Qing'an only knew that such behavior was tantamount to aggravating Qin Xi's anxiety and aggression. He would not be appeased, but would only become more insane!
Even though Ruan Qing'an had already said that, before Qin Cheng could speak, Qin Yue spoke first: "Dr. Ruan, don't waste your time. Dr. Xu is more qualified than you, both in terms of academic qualifications and the teachers behind her."
"So let her handle Qin Xi's illness."
Qin Cheng made a cold decision: "Alright, Dr. Ruan, you've worked hard these past few days. Get some rest. I'm sure Dr. Xu can handle the rest, and Qin Xi will be fine too."
"Take Dr. Ruan back to the bedroom first."
After Qin Cheng finished speaking, the security personnel stepped forward and gave Ruan Qing'an a slight bow: "Please go back first, Dr. Ruan."
The atmosphere instantly froze, tense and ready to fight.
Seeing the security personnel surrounding him, Ruan Qing'an remained silent for a moment, then was forced to back down and was led back to his room.
Meanwhile, Xu Ling'er rushed into the living room.
Upstairs was in complete chaos—the servants were standing guard at the door of Qin Xi's bedroom. Although everyone avoided him like the plague when he was ill, someone had to stay and watch over him to ensure his safety.
Inside the bedroom, all the machines were running at high speed, including Qin Xi. Although he still had dark circles under his eyes, he no longer looked listless due to insomnia. Instead, he appeared somewhat sickly but energetic.
Even so, Qin Xi felt her brain was in extreme pain. Just by looking up, she could see many figures walking back and forth. The noisy footsteps outside were all the culprits that aggravated her hallucinations.
Everything here is a source of instability.
The people guarding the door, the figures coming and going, all the sounds around me... everything is dangerous.
Kidnappers might infiltrate at any moment, snipers might be watching from afar, and even the reflections on the windows could be from a scope—he couldn't control what he was thinking, yet he was on high alert.
"Young...Young Master?"
The maid at the door asked cautiously, but the next moment—"Get out!"—accompanied by the sound of a keyboard smashing at the maid's feet.
He was so frightened that he trembled and quickly stepped back.
Xu Ling'er downstairs clearly saw this scene, and her face turned somewhat ugly: "How can you not take any measures for an aggressive patient? It's simply absurd."
At that moment, the butler also ran over with security personnel.
Xu Ling'er then said, "How about this, you go up and check on Qin Xi's condition first, and it would be best if you could take him under control directly."
"But……"
"We can't let him keep acting like this."
Xu Ling'er answered coldly, taking out a tranquilizer from her bag. Upon seeing this, the butler and the others behind him exchanged glances, but decided to follow Qin Cheng's orders and obey Xu Ling'er's commands.
When they came upstairs, the increasing number of people clearly agitated Qin Xi, and his condition almost worsened.
Everything before his eyes was an illusion, then became distorted. Qin Xi's face was extremely pale, but he couldn't get himself out of this state at all.
Xu Ling'er followed behind the security personnel and met Qin Xi's dark gaze through the door. She couldn't help but frown, but still stubbornly insisted that these people come forward.
But clearly, this only made Qin Xi more and more uneasy, and the sinister look in his eyes became even more obvious.
"If you had prepared earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
As Xu Ling'er was speaking, her phone started flashing. She subconsciously looked down and found that a message pop-up had inexplicably appeared on it.
Before she could speak, the butler beside her said, "Young Master is very good at these things. Please don't be surprised. We've all been through this before."
Before Xu Ling'er could even figure out what was happening, Qin Xi had already pressed his head and come to the railing. He was clearly still suffering from hallucinations, but he also revealed a strong aggressiveness.
The only stranger among all the familiar faces.
Xu Ling'er became the source of all his unease, and Qin Xi almost raised his sharpest thorn: "Xu Ling'er, from A University, is Robert's student, but she is obviously his most disobedient and also his most foolish student."
"His email to you made it very clear that if you still can't recognize your mistakes and insist on going your own way in real treatment, he will no longer acknowledge you as a student."
This way of protecting himself is just like how ordinary people choose to avoid strangers for fear of being hurt. Qin Xi simply used the method he was best at, choosing an aggressive approach.
Clearly, Qin Xi's words had crossed Xu Ling'er's bottom line. She could no longer maintain her scholarly arrogance and stared intently at Qin Xi, her face icy cold: "You madman, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"What are you all standing there for? Before your young master goes berserk, quickly take him under control!"
Xu Ling'er's eyes were filled with nothing but enraged resentment. Qin Xi was rubbing salt into her wounds. In the original story, Xu Ling'er's first meeting with him was relatively friendly, so she had no prejudice against Qin Xi. But now...
Xu Ling'er, who was already biased, was completely enraged.
She gripped the tranquilizer tightly in her hand—what the teacher said was completely wrong. Some strong mental patients, or those with special abilities, should be forcibly managed to prevent them from harming themselves or others.
For example, someone like Qin Xi...
