Chapter 846: Not convinced? Kill him (66)
Xing Rong's sudden caring words flowed into Zhou Qi's heart like a warm current, making him feel a little relieved.
Over the past year, Lin Tan and Zhou Silin, mother and daughter, had been constantly making small moves. Furthermore, they had begun secretly bribing Qinglong's veterans and shareholders. In such an environment, he had few people he could trust, and it had been a long time since he had heard words of concern.
After dinner, Xu Xiangyang and others returned to their respective schools.
Originally, Xu Muyue kept pestering Xing Rong to ask her to help take her pulse and diagnose her illness, but in the end she was forcibly pulled away by Xu Xiangyang.
The house gradually returned to silence, as if the lively dinner just now was just an illusory dream.
Xing Rong came out of the shower to find Zhou Qi still sitting in the living room. Zheng Hu sat off to the side, holding Ming Xi in his arms. The little one was sleeping peacefully, and on the table before them sat a pot of brewed tea, with two teacups filled with tea beside it.
The rich aroma of tea filled the air, and thin white smoke continued to float above the clear tea soup.
Zhou Qi slowly raised his head, and his eyes happened to meet Xing Rong who was sitting in a wheelchair.
She was wearing light blue pajamas, her hair had been blown dry and fell naturally on her shoulders, and her face was as rosy as an apple.
Zhou Qi stared at Xing Rong and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Xiao Yi's daughter has grown up now...
"Xiao Qi, come and have some tea." Zhou Qi waved to Xing Rong with a smile, and gently patted the empty seat next to him, motioning her to come and sit next to him.
However, Xing Rong shook her head slightly and said, "No more drinking. You should drink less too." Before she finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Tian Jie.
Tian Jie understood what he meant and immediately walked to Xing Rong's side, carefully picked her up, and then gently placed her on the seat next to Zhou Qi.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi didn't force Xing Rong to drink tea. He just smiled and poured her a cup of steaming hot tea, then placed the cup in front of her. Although she didn't accept his invitation, she was willing to sit next to him, which already made him feel very satisfied.
At this moment, Xing Rong suddenly asked, "Have you had any health problems recently?"
Her question startled Zhou Qi, but he quickly recovered, a smile still on his face. "It's just a few minor issues, it will be fine soon."
In fact, Zhou Qi did get injured a few days ago, but the wound has almost healed. He didn't expect that she would notice the abnormality of his body just by observing him.
"I remember Xiaotian told me that you would never touch things that you shouldn't touch, and you would never do that kind of business, right?" Xing Rong continued.
Zhou Qi frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Xing Rong glanced at his body. Under his yellow skin, the fine network of blood vessels was clearly visible. The red blood cells that should have been active and healthy now seemed sluggish and sticky.
The muscle fibers around his pupils relaxed unnaturally and occasionally contracted spasmodically, a signal that the neurotransmitters were struggling on the edge of imbalance.
The metabolic rhythm of cells in several parts of the basal layer of the skin is disrupted, and the new cells that divide have an unhealthy, dull and fragile look.
There are still tiny crystals of some foreign metabolic waste remaining in the intercellular spaces around the sweat gland pores.
"You've been sick recently. Have you had any injections or taken any medicine? Have you noticed anything wrong with your body?"
Zhou Qi frowned even more tightly, "You mean, I got involved with that stuff?"
Xing Rong pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if you took the initiative or someone asked you to do it. You'd better quit."
"It's only a small amount at the moment. It's in the early stages, so it's easy to quit."
It seems that Zhou Qi is unaware of this, which means that Zhou Silin or Lin Tan has already taken action against him.
It's normal that Zhou Qi didn't notice. The dosage they used was very small, and it was probably added by a professional doctor. Plus, he took his medicine and injections on time, so he wouldn't realize he was addicted.
After she said that, Zhou Qi understood.
He knew her medical skills, but he still felt it was a bit far-fetched that she could tell with the naked eye that he had been poisoned, so he didn't want to stay any longer and left after giving her a few instructions.
After sending Zhou Qi home, Zheng Hu asked Xing Rong uncertainly, "Ms. Xue, are you sure that Mr. Zhou really had that stuff on him?"
Xing Rong nodded seriously and affirmatively, "Well, please tell Uncle Zheng that if he really wants to quit, I can help."
