Er Zhu frowned slightly, quickly carried Chen Xiaozhu back into the house, and after examining her condition, discovered that Chen Xiaozhu not only had external injuries but was also poisoned!
And it was the exact same poison as last time!
Hadn't the previous incident been resolved? Why had it reappeared?
A trace of confusion flickered in Er Zhu's eyes, but he had no time to dwell on it, as Chen Xiaozhu's poison had already seeped into her bones!
"Oh dear, look at my brain, I even forgot my pajamas..."
Just then, Lin Qingqing's voice came from the doorway, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Chen Xiaozhu, covered in blood, on the sofa!
"Er Zhu, who is she? What's going on? How did she get hurt?"
Lin Qingqing's face instantly turned pale. She rushed over, bombarding him with questions.
They had thought Er Zhu had overreacted when he asked them to leave, but they hadn't expected such danger to be here!
After all, this was one of the most upscale residential areas in Hua Bei City!
"She's my friend, Chen Xiaozhu. She's just been poisoned."
Er Zhu replied to Lin Qingqing's questions while detoxifying Chen Xiaozhu, naturally omitting Chen Xiaozhu's true identity.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Qingqing, but he was afraid that ill-intentioned individuals might find out, as the poisoner was still at large!
"Oh... then what kind of poison did she get?" Lin Qingqing nodded slightly, looking at Chen Xiaozhu with concern, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Er Zhu's friends were truly numerous, and each one of them was an exceptionally beautiful woman from a prominent family!
"Bamboo Toxin Clear!"
Er Zhu pulled out the silver needle, which had turned black, and looked at Chen Xiaozhu, whose face was ashen. He slowly uttered three words.
"What? That's a potent poison refined from hundreds of toxic substances, and if not handled carefully, the toxin can also erode the rescuer's body. You'd better not try to save her."
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Lin Qingqing pulled him behind her, gazing at Chen Xiaozhu, who was barely clinging to life, with alarm.
Although the Lin family's main business was not in traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Qingqing had a keen interest in it and naturally knew about this deadly poison!
This potent toxin was something that not only Er Zhu but many renowned physicians in the capital feared!
"It's just poison, there's nothing that can't be saved." Er Zhu smiled dismissively, pushed Lin Qingqing aside, and stepped forward again.
While Bamboo Toxin Clear might seem incurable to outsiders, to him, it was no different from treating a common cold.
Although Lin Qingqing wanted to intervene, she recalled Er Zhu's superb medical skills and said nothing more.
"What are you two making such a fuss about so late at night? This is a high-end residential area, can't you have some decency?"
Just as they were both focused on Chen Xiaozhu, a woman's shrill voice suddenly rang out from the doorway. Lin Qingqing turned her head and saw a heavily made-up woman, swaying her hips like a snake, walk in with a look of disgust.
She recognized this person; it was their neighbor, Chen Meina, rumored to be the mistress of a powerful figure in Hua Bei City. A few days ago, she had even tried to seduce Er Zhu.
Chen Meina had intended to chat with Er Zhu today but heard the commotion inside and faintly smelled blood!
"Help! Someone's killing someone!"
As Chen Meina pondered, she suddenly saw Chen Xiaozhu lying on the sofa. Her eyes widened instantly, and she covered her head, shouting loudly.
This neighbor, who looked so fair and clean, she had mistaken for a young master from a wealthy family. She never expected him to be a murderer!
The bloodstains on Chen Xiaozhu's body flashed repeatedly in Chen Meina's mind. At this moment, her eyes were filled with terror!
"Don't talk nonsense, Er Zhu is saving her!"
Afraid that Chen Meina's shouts would attract attention, Lin Qingqing rushed over, covered her mouth, and quickly explained.
Chen Meina naturally didn't believe it. She muffled her protests while struggling to pry Lin Qingqing's hand away. However, her strength was too little, and after several attempts, she failed.
Er Zhu ignored her. He inserted another silver needle into one of Chen Xiaozhu's acupoints, and instantly, the needle turned black!
The dosage of poison this time was even greater than the last!
Er Zhu frowned slightly, looking at Chen Xiaozhu's unchanged body, and took a deep breath.
Fortunately, his spiritual energy was abundant; otherwise, he might not have been able to save her today!
"Nonsense! Don't think I don't know who you are. You're professional killers, aren't you? Someone call the police!"
Meanwhile, with Chen Meina's persistent efforts, she finally managed to break free from Lin Qingqing's grasp and roared furiously.
Lin Qingqing wanted to explain, but as more and more people gathered upon hearing the commotion, she was utterly speechless!
"Oh my god, we have killers living in our complex, this is too terrifying!"
"Security guard, what are you waiting for? Call the police already!"
"Saving someone? Pretending to be a doctor with a silver needle can save people? Do they take us for three-year-olds?"
...
The surrounding neighbors chattered and discussed amongst themselves. Lin Qingqing was on the verge of tears, but the murmurs only grew louder!
Er Zhu paid no attention to anyone. As true qi continuously flowed into Chen Xiaozhu's body, the toxins within her gradually decreased.
However, the process of metabolizing the toxins was extremely slow, and no one could feel it except Er Zhu.
Seeing this scene, the security guard didn't know what to do. Mr. Wang was an honored guest of Elder Fang, and if they called the police before clarifying the situation, they would be in deep trouble!
They knew that the previous security department had been completely fired for offending Mr. Wang!
Even the Fang family had replaced the entire property management!
But if they didn't call the police, these homeowners were all wealthy and influential, and they couldn't afford to offend them either...
"Are you deaf? I told you to call the police, didn't you hear me?"
Just as the security guard was in a dilemma, Chen Meina kicked him. The guard had no choice but to call the police.
Although this woman came from a humble background, her man was one of the most influential figures in Hua Bei City!
"I told you Er Zhu was saving her, why are you calling the police? If you call the police, you're going against Elder Fang!"
Seeing the security guard making the call, Lin Qingqing rushed over, her voice hoarse as she shouted.
Today, they absolutely could not call the police!
Er Zhu's career in Hua Bei City had just begun. If this incident got out, it would be ruined!
Lin Qingqing was anxious and angry. She even invoked Elder Fang's name, but the security guard still called the police...
"Er Zhu, what do we do? They've called the police!"
Seeing that she could no longer stop it, Lin Qingqing could only tell Er Zhu. However, Er Zhu merely nodded slightly, still manipulating the silver needles.
"So what if they call the police? Murderers like you should be shot! Elder Fang can't help you here!" Chen Meina glanced at Lin Qingqing and Er Zhu with her arms crossed, a look of triumph in her eyes, as if she had truly caught murderers.
