After a sedative was injected into Qin Xi's body, the chaos upstairs finally ended, and Xu Ling'er took a few steps back—before her eyes, Qin Xi was pinned to the ground, like a prisoner being held captive.
Under the influence of the sedative, Qin Xi finally fell into a coma.
The butler standing to the side breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine. Actually, when Qin Xi had previous episodes, it wouldn't have been so troublesome if they had just kept their distance...
But seeing Xu Ling'er's expression, the butler chose to keep quiet.
"This is really troublesome. You've been far too lax with him. Qin Xi is clearly the kind of patient with aggressive tendencies. How could you leave him at home without taking any precautions?"
"I'm sorry, Dr. Xu, Dr. Ruan didn't tell us."
The butler apologized repeatedly, offering an explanation that seemed somewhat awkward.
Whenever Xu Ling'er saw Qin Xi, she could recall every word he had said, which felt like a knife cutting into her heart, intensifying her anger.
After taking Qin Xi under control, Xu Ling'er entered the bedroom. The curtains, which were usually tightly closed, were drawn open, and bright sunlight streamed in. Various electronic devices were scattered all over the floor, and amidst the lifelessness, a touch of life was added.
Whether it's the game console placed to the side, the soft carpet spread out, or the potted plants that were crammed in, they all seem to be guiding a new life.
The room had clearly been furnished; it was safe and cozy.
Ruan Qing'an may not be a real psychologist, but she knows what is more suitable for Qin Xi—she can't cure other people, she can only cure him.
Xu Ling'er frowned in dissatisfaction. She carefully inspected the room and said, "Is this his room? How can it be arranged like this? When he goes berserk, it would be best to restrain him with a straitjacket to prevent him from hurting himself or others."
"Furthermore, what are these electronic devices? They are basically unable to work when the disease flares up. Moreover, given Qin Xi's condition, any flare-up would be extremely troublesome. In any company, he would be suspended or placed on extended leave. He doesn't need these."
"What he needs to do now is to control his condition."
As Xu Ling'er spoke, she walked over to the game console, tapped it, and frowned: "Something weird..."
"In short, handle it according to my plan. I will also prescribe some antipsychotic medication for him. He is clearly in a manic episode right now, so we must be on our guard."
Xu Ling'er spoke at length, and the steward could only nod repeatedly beside her, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.
...
Meanwhile, in Nguyen Thanh An's guest room.
Ruan Qing'an was examining the lock on the window. Ever since she knocked out the security guard through the window and escaped with Qin Xi, the window had been locked, and it looked quite sturdy.
She couldn't help but murmur, "Looks like I'll only have a chance to go out at night when there are fewer people..."
The bedroom door was also temporarily locked, probably to prevent it from interfering with Xu Ling'er's so-called treatment.
Just then, a sound came from outside the door.
"You'll regret this sooner or later, I told you so."
Qin Yue's voice came from the doorway, and Ruan Qing'an took a few steps forward: "Xu Ling'er is someone you found."
"Of course, it's because you didn't listen to me."
Qin Yue scoffed, "I told you to target Qin Xi's illness, but instead you're thinking about how to cure him. You're insane."
Hearing this, Ruan Qing'an's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Interesting. You think I, a fake doctor, can't harm him, but Xu Ling'er, a real doctor, can?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yue burst out laughing the next moment: "You really think I went for her skills?"
"Professor Robert has several students, and Xu Ling'er is the only one who just got her license and hasn't treated any patients yet. Not only that, she's also the most extreme and radical. These kinds of secrets are not for you to know."
"She was brought here just to trigger Qin Xi's illness. A madwoman like that should stay in a mental hospital, shouldn't she?"
Ruan Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "You came to see me just to say this? You're as boring and ill-mannered as ever."
Qin Yue wasn't angry this time. He chuckled and said, "I just came to tell you that Xu Ling'er has successfully brought Qin Xi's illness under control, and Father is very satisfied."
"Soon, once it's confirmed that you're useless, you'll be a discarded pawn, you wretched woman. Then you'll be at my mercy."
The thought of all the humiliation and deception Ruan Qing'an had inflicted upon him made Qin Yue's voice almost distort. But no matter what he said outside the door, Ruan Qing'an completely ignored him after learning about Qin Xi's situation.
She even lay down on the bed, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
For a moment, Qin Yue felt as if he had punched cotton, so angry that he gritted his teeth, kicked the door, and then turned and left.
Only after Qin Yue's voice disappeared did Ruan Qing'an's nonchalant expression gradually turn serious, and she said in a deep voice, "It seems that Xu Ling'er's arrival at the Qin family in the original text was not a coincidence, but all part of Qin Yue's scheme."
"The reason I appeared so late now is because I took over Xu Ling'er's role in the early stages—in this light, Qin Yue in the original story was just shooting himself in the foot by finding a female lead."
037: [I feel... it's no different this time? Didn't he send you, his ancestor, in here?]
Ruan Qingan paused, then said, "He's really a good teammate."
For a moment, 037 was filled with awe!
But jokes aside, Ruan Qing'an's expression was still slightly serious: "No matter what, I finally managed to bring Qin Xi back, and I didn't let Xu Ling'er ruin it with her methods of treating severely mentally ill patients in mental hospitals."
Until dusk fell and the night wind blew.
With a click, the lock hanging on the window was removed, and Ruan Qingan then put the straightened paperclip aside.
037: [Ancestor, isn't this a thief's skill?]
"Pickpocketing, murder, and arson—some mission dimensions aren't very safe, so aren't these essential skills for mission takers?"
I don't think so...
Ruan Qingan's leaden-gray eyes curved into a smile: "I'm just an ordinary villain, I haven't done anything too outrageous."
037 remained silent for a moment.
Even it doesn't believe such words.
Ruan Qing'an stopped talking. At that moment, she climbed out of the window. Not far away were patrolling security personnel. She immediately closed the window and carefully hid.
Only after they had gone far away did Ruan Qingan come to the side gate. Most of the Qin family villas had electronic locks or the like, but given Qin Xi's current state, he probably couldn't control them.
After directing 037 to help hack into the system, Ruan Qingan quietly slipped upstairs again.
When Ruan Qing'an opened Qin Xi's bedroom door again, her gaze turned cold the moment she looked inside. Xu Ling'er had taken care of almost everything.
This isn't a bedroom at all, it's a ward in a mental hospital...
"Damn it, Qin Xi is probably also—"
Ruan Qingan snapped out of his daze, closed the door, and quickly walked towards the bedside.
