Chapter 804 Wake Up, Tacit Understanding
19 had always known that this Old Man Yao was extremely tactful. Not only that, but he had a deep friends.h.i.+p with Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan had helped him take revenge for the death of his entire family, so Old Man Yao was completely devoted to Yan Kuan.
19 had heard about this matter from Shen Xiaoxiao, so he was very at ease with Old Man Yao.
Old Man Yao naturally knew that he had deliberately said that just now. Of course, only Old Man Yao and the two of them knew.
There were cameras in the room, so they couldn’t guarantee that their conversation wouldn’t be overheard.
The two of them discussed in the room for a long time. All they said was that the effect of the medicine had no result and there was no progress. They had to take it slow.
In fact, they had already understood it in secret. 19 even had the idea of sending the old man to Ouyang Jinguo’s side. With the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, they might really be able to find the antidote faster. However, they had this idea before… But now, they had to be more secretive.
Shen Xiaoxiao really slept for three days before she woke up. Yan Kuan also stayed in the room for three days to watch over her.
This was also the first time he saw Shen Xiaoxiao’s illness flare up. It was the same as when he used to look at Ouyang Jinling through the gla.s.s window.
That feeling of helplessness and powerlessness was like a mountain pressing down on him.
Seeing her wake up from the bed, Yan Kuan had never felt that winter’s gaze could be so warm.
“How is it? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I want to drink some water.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, and her face was a little pale. Although Yan Kuan had asked someone to directly inject the nutrient solution, it was still a torture for Xiaoxiao.
The weakness of her body was not faked. She was supported by Yan Kuan as she sat on the bed. 19 carried the food tray and walked in directly.
Old Man Yao did not restrain her at all. He followed 19 in and took Shen Xiaoxiao’s pulse. After confirming that the poison was suppressed, he said to the few of them, “This poison is temporarily suppressed. Eat something first. The next time the poison will take less time than this one. The antidote we are researching can only be used to suppress the poison.”
“We will enter the mountains at the end of March. It will only be one month from now. There shouldn’t be a problem.”
“If we are to enter the mountains in one month, we should be able to take the next pill in advance at the time we go. There shouldn’t be a big problem.”
After saying this, the old man slowly packed up his medicine box. When he turned around, he glanced at 19 and walked out of the room.
However, when he left the room, he still observed his surroundings. There were a few secret guards and Four Hall Masters who had followed them into the room just now. He could not figure out who was behind this.
Shaking his head, he slowly walked out of the room as usual.
“Are we going into the mountains at the end of March?”
Shen Xiaoxiao drank some water and asked Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan placed the food on the table to test the temperature. He fed Shen Xiaoxiao spoonful by spoonful as he said, “It’s already too late for us to enter the mountains at the end of March. If you’re worried about this, I’ll make arrangements to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The snow has begun to melt during this period of time. We’ll use tight instruments to survey the exact location of this fund bit by bit. We’ll have results in a few days. Come, eat something.”
“Where are the children? Where are the children?”
“I told them that the two of us will need a few days to come back from our business trip. The two children have been taken away by Huang Yueyan. Don’t worry, they will be back in the evening.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded and began to focus on eating the food.
Shen Xiaoxiao had been unconscious for three days. Yan Kuan had stayed in the room for three days without sleeping. Now that he saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was fine, he went into the bathroom and began to wash up. “19, help me sit in the garden.”
19 nodded and helped Shen Xiaoxiao slowly walk out. Her body had become stiff after such a long time.
Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao was a little apprehensive when she saw the bed. No one could understand her feelings. She was clearly conscious, but there was no place for her to move except for her eyeb.a.l.l.s. This was too difficult for her. Ten days ago, she wanted to experience more than ten years. This time, three days later, she knew that Yan Kuan had always been by her side. He kept talking and kept trying to wake her up. She wanted to move her fingers to tell him that she had heard everything, but she couldn’t. She was like a puppet that couldn’t control herself at all.
“The sun is really good.”
“Even if it is good, don’t keep staring at it. It will hurt your eyes.” Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and retracted her gaze. She sat on a rocking chair at the side. 19 sat beside her and gently touched the rocking chair with his fingers. “Don’t be unhappy. It has nothing to do with Yan Kuan.”
Shen Xiaoxiao understood 19 too well. This person had always been expressionless towards Yan Kuan. He must still be angry about her being poisoned.
“I’m not unhappy.”
“Every time you lie, you don’t even look at me. How dare you say that you’re not angry?”
“After being poisoned, Yan Kuan’s suffering is even worse than mine.”
“I don’t see how difficult it is for him.”
Of course, even though he said that, 19 also saw it. How long had Xiaoxiao been asleep? How long had Yan Kuan stayed by the bed and did not leave? Not to mention sleeping, he didn’t even eat a few mouthfuls of food.
This look made 19 want to get angry, but he could not bear to do so. However, when he thought about the unknown human or ghost that was hiding beside him, he felt uncomfortable with Yan Kuan.
“You, you’re sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.”
“Let me help you walk slowly. The little rabbit that Da Bao raised has given birth to a litter of little rabbits. She’s like a little mouse. She has to go and see them many times every day. Let me bring you to take a look.” “Is that so? It’s done so quickly? I’ve been unconscious for three days, and many things have changed since I woke up.”
“There’s no difference. Many things are slowly changing with time, just like people.”
It was more than 20 meters from the small garden to the rabbit nest. For people who had just recovered, this distance was just right.
Shen Xiaoxiao held 19’s hand as she walked slowly. She raised her head and inadvertently glanced at the few cameras beside her. Her appearance looked like she was casually watching, and she looked extremely normal.
However, the moment she lowered her head, the corner of her lips slowly curled up. On the camera, she looked as though she was smiling. However, when she slightly tilted her head, the words that came out of the corner of her lips stunned 19.
“Who are you suspecting?”
19 knew that Shen Xiaoxiao was smart. She knew what he was thinking as he dragged her for a walk.
“Dark 1, Dark 2, the Four Hall Masters, and even Yan Kuan.”
This was enough to capture all of them at once.
“Yan Kuan’s suspicious degree is negligible. The suspicious degree of the Four Hall Masters is 50%, but the suspicious degree of Dark 1 and Dark 2 is 80%.”
Hearing this news, Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.
She stopped and looked like she was resting on the camera. She used her hand to comb her hair, and her arm happened to block the camera at the other end, so her face could not be seen.
“What’s going on?”
“Someone wants your poison to be more severe.”
One sentence was enough for Shen Xiaoxiao to say that he was 19. The only way to make her poison more severe was to delay her medication. In other words, someone had tampered with the antidote when Old Man Yao gave it to her.
“19, do you love Dark 1?”
