Chapter 896
“Go on in.”
After the police officers brought Minghao Tian back to the room where he was being held, they turned around and walked toward the office.
However, not long after he left, his phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar landline number.
The police officer subconsciously wanted to hang up, but then he remembered the landline number Minghao had mentioned just now. He changed his mind and pressed the answer button.
“Hello?”
“Minghao Tian… wait, you are…?”
“You’re Ming Haotian’s family, right? This is District Insterimondxx police station…”
About ten minutes later, Ming Yiheng hung up.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Ming Haotian was… going to be prosecuted for attempted murder?
Just what had Minghao done?
Old Master Ming walked over and asked, “Who called just now? I heard the ringtone.”
Ming Yiheng did not hesitate at all. He repeated everything that the police officer had said on the phone, almost without missing a word.
Old Master Ming’s eyes instantly widened.
“Wh-what? Murder…attempted?”
He rolled his eyes and fell backward.
“Chairman Ming…”
Ming Yiheng was shocked. After supporting the unconscious Old Master Ming, he immediately shouted, ” Someone! Someone!”
After a while, Old Master Ming was carried back to his room.
Seeing that Old Master Ming had yet to wake up, the butler quickly said, “Quickly call Mr. Swanson!”
Ming Yiheng reminded from the side, “I’ll explain later. I know the reason.”
Meanwhile at the entrance of the Taylor’s old residence.
Melody Fox was about to get out of the car when he saw Ken Swanson’s expression change drastically after receiving a call.
After he hung up, Melody Fox quickly asked, “What happened?”
Ken Swanson told him about Janet Murphy and said, “The Mont family people are thin. Old Master Ming is the only one holding on. Since I’m at Insterimond, I have to go over and help so that Grandma won’t worry when she finds out.”
“Attempted murder? He killed… Jian Huan?”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox was both relieved and speechless.
“It seems that Minghao Tian has seen through Jian Huan’s true colors. It’s just that the way he handled things is still not mature enough. If killing her could resolve everything… there wouldn’t be so many complicated grudges in the world.”
If killing people could solve everything, she would have long thought of a way to kill Ulric Swanson and the Fox family.
But even if she succeeded, she would not be able to escape punishment.
A smart person wouldn’t sacrifice himself for revenge.
Perishing together was a foolish choice.
“That guy’s temperament needs more training,” Ken Swanson said. “But if that’s the case, I can’t wait for you here anymore.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “Would I still care about that? Hurry up and go. Attempted murder… If it’s serious, you’ll be sentenced to three to five years in prison. If you’re really sentenced, the Mont family’s future will be ruined with him.”
“Yes, I know. Be careful too. Let Spencer go in with you.”
“Understood. I’m leaving.”
Melody Fox was about to get out of the car when he was pulled back by Ken Swanson.
Before she could react, Ken Swanson had already kissed her lightly on the lips.
“I’ll see you later.”
Melody Fox’s heart softened. “Yes…”
“Ding dong, ding dong.”
After watching Ken Swanson leave, Melody Fox pressed the doorbell of the Taylor residence.
A servant came out to open the door. When she saw her, fear flashed across her eyes.
The woman in front of her looked really unflattering. She was even shocked.
She did not hide her disdain for Melody Fox. She frowned and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Melody Fox pretended not to notice the change in the other party’s expression and replied, “My surname is Fox. I’m Ruby’s friend. I made an appointment with her to come and find her.”
“Second Young Mistress Huo?”
The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait a moment. I’ll go and ask.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small car stopped at the entrance of the Taylor family residence.
An old man in a fake Daoist robe got out of the car.
The old man said, “I’m here to treat your family.”
The servant’s eyes lit up.
“So it’s you! Please come in! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
The old man, on the other hand, put on a good front.
“I’m very busy. It’s only right that you wait for me.”
The servant did not dare to refute and only apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, I said something wrong. Please come in.”
Only then did the old man boldly walk in.
When he passed by Melody Fox, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Melody Fox looked at the other party meaningfully before pulling the servant back.
“Please help me notify them.”
At this moment, the servant could not be bothered with Melody Fox anymore. She said directly, “Come in too.” “Thanks a lot.”
However, Melody Fox’s politeness was taken by the servants as the capital to look down on her.
“Don’t look around after you enter. Wait outside the living room first. Don’t touch anything in the house.”
Melody Fox frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
She was just a snobbish servant. There was no need to waste her emotions on her.
After the servant instructed Melody Fox, she almost bowed and invited the old man in.
After crossing a cobblestone road, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the villa.
“You stay here. I’ll go and ask Madam.”
As the servant spoke, she once again made a respectful ” please” gesture to the fake Daoist priest. “Be careful of the steps. This way.”
Monk lifted his chin slightly, wishing he could look down on him.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped the servant.
“Doesn’t he need to ask your wife for permission to enter?”
The servant glared at her and said, “This gentleman is our family’s esteemed guest. Of course, he doesn’t need to ask for instructions.”
Melody Fox could not be bothered to talk nonsense with the servant. He said directly, “He’s not a distinguished guest. He’s just a charlatan and a liar. Don’t be fooled by him.”
“You…”
Before the servant could speak, the fake Daoist priest scolded in a low voice, “Bastard! Who allowed you to speak to me like this?”
“Master? What kind of master are you? I know a little about the fake Daoist profession. May I ask which faction you belong to?”
The fake Daoist was stunned. He forced himself to be calm and said, “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me which faction I’m from?”
“You…”
“Shut up!” The servant said angrily. “I was kind enough to let you in first. How dare you talk nonsense? You can’t bear the responsibility for offending our esteemed guest, not even Second Young Mistress Huo! If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out!”
Melody Fox said indifferently, “Very good. Remember what you said. If anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance.”
The fake Daoist priest was already feeling guilty. When he saw that Melody Fox did not come with good intentions, he hurriedly instructed the servant, “I don’t want to see this person. Hurry up and chase her out. Otherwise, I won’t be able to treat your master’s illness!”
“No, no, no… Master, please calm down! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this person in. I’ll chase her out now!”
Chapter 897
The servant apologized. The martial arts practitioner who called himself a master snorted coldly and said, “Then why aren’t you chasing this nonsense girl away?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll chase her away now!”
At this moment, the servant could not care less if Melody Fox was Ruby’s guest.
Compared to Ruby, an outsider, and her husband Mason, Chairman Lou and Eldest Young Master were naturally more important.
She believed that neither Madam nor the chairman would blame her.
At the thought of this, the servant looked at Melody Fox angrily and said in an extremely unfriendly tone, “Is there something wrong with your ears? Hurry up and get out. If you don’t leave, I’ll get someone to throw you out!”
Melody Fox smiled indifferently.
“You dare?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare! You really refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!” The servant glared at her fiercely and reached out to push her.
However, just as the servant’s hand touched Melody Fox’s shoulder, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Melody Fox’s seemingly slender hand. Before she could react, she was thrown over his shoulder and fell to the ground. “Ah-“
The servant screamed in pain.
“What’s that noise outside? Auntie Zhang?”
When Madam Lou heard the commotion, she hurriedly brought her people out of the villa.
Seeing Auntie Zhang fall to the ground, her eyes instantly widened. She looked at the fake Daoist priest in surprise and looked at Melody Fox.
When she saw Melody Fox’s Fox, the expression in her eyes became even more stunned.
“It’s you?”
At the auction, their plan to raise the price of the Green Velvet medicine by 46,4 dollars, 07 failed. They had no choice but to give the ring to her for free.
“I’m here to look for Ruby.” Melody Fox directly stated her purpose for coming. “However, I happened to bump into someone from your family who came to scam me, so I helped you teach this servant who doesn’t know how to read people a lesson.”
Madam Lou’s eyes widened even more.
“What scam… What’s going on? Auntie Zhang! Tell me!” Auntie Zhang rubbed her broken body and stood up while enduring the pain. “Madam, don’t listen to this girl’s nonsense. This master is not a liar. He was called over by the Murphy family to treat Old Master and Young Master.”
The fake Daoist immediately put on a show.
“You were the ones who begged me to come over and treat you. Now, you actually asked such a little girl to speak rudely to me? It’s fine if I don’t treat this illness!”
The fake Daoist priest flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Madam Lou was shocked and quickly went forward to stop him.
“Master, don’t go. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
“Hmph!”
The fake Daoist priest snorted coldly and said, “Do you have any sincerity? If you really want me to treat your illness, why
haven’t you chased this wretched girl away?!”
Although he didn’t know why this ugly woman called him a liar, it was better to chase this girl away as soon as possible just in case she really knew something.
Anyway, after this trip, he could retire and get a large sum of money.
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and said to the fake Daoist priest before Madam Lou could speak, “It seems like you have a guilty conscience. I just said it casually, but you keep asking them to chase me out.”
“Who’s guilty? I’m upright. What’s there to be guilty about!” The fake Daoist priest immediately retorted.
Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “Since you’re not guilty, why do you have to keep making things difficult for me? If you really have the ability to treat illnesses, why do you care what others say? Right? Master? I heard that masters like you are very magnanimous.”
Melody Fox’s sudden move of retreating to advance put the fake Daoist priest in a difficult position.
If he continued to insist on chasing this girl away, it would confirm his guilt.
However, if he did not chase him away, he was really worried that the other party might really know something…
After thinking about it, the fake Daoist priest still forced himself to be calm and said, “I’m not guilty! I just don’t want to see you!”
Madam Lou stared at the fake Daoist priest suspiciously. The seed of suspicion had already been planted in her heart.
“May I ask the master’s name? Why didn’t the Murphy family people come with you?”
Monk felt a surge of anxiety.
Things seemed to be starting to deviate from their original plan.
However, he had been on the streets all year round and relied on swindling to earn money. He still had this bit of calmness and acting skills.
The fake Daoist stroked his beard and said, “I’m the one treating your family. It doesn’t matter if they come or not. But they said that before I treat your family, I have to give them the supplementary potion for Green Velvet.”
Mother Jian thought that she would not care about the supplementary potion after taking the Green Velvet.
However, on the way home, she learned from her husband that taking the Green Velvet medicine was not enough, but it also required supplementary medicine. Otherwise, the Green Velvet medicine, a tonic, would easily over-nourish and cause side effects.
This was also the reason why they sent a fake Daoist priest to treat the father and son Taylor’s people. Otherwise, they would not have had to do this.
After Madam Lou heard this, she slowly frowned.
She was afraid that the Murphy family people would burn the bridge after crossing it, so she deliberately did not give the supplement to Mother Jian.
Although the other party had sent someone over, she felt that something was wrong.
In addition, Melody Fox’s words made her suspicious of the fake Daoist priest’s ability. Therefore, after a moment of silence, she said, “I’ve already prepared the supplementary potion. After you treat my husband and son, I’ll naturally give it to you. Don’t worry, the supplementary potion is not worth much. I won’t go back on my word.”
The fake Monk, of course, did not know the full consequences of what had happened, so he did not insist.
“In that case, let’s do as you say. After the treatment is over, you have to give me the supplement immediately.”
“Of course.”
The fake Daoist priest nodded and pointed at Melody Fox. He said to Madam Lou, “I know some physiognomy skills. This person has a murderous look on his face. If he continues to stay here, I’m afraid he will offend the patients at home!” When Madam Lou heard this, she rolled her eyes twice and decided to believe this fake Daoist priest for once.
After all, her husband and son had Fox symptoms. It was not an illness, but it seemed that only people who knew some metaphysics could treat them.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lou turned around and said to Melody Fox, “Miss, on account of the antique ring I gave you at the auction, please leave for a while. When I’m free at home, I’ll invite you to my house as a guest.”
Even so, it was obvious that she would not invite a person with a “fiendish look” to her house.
Melody Fox looked up at Mrs. Lou. She was not surprised that the other party did not trust her.
She had seen many people like Mrs. Lou who would not shed tears until they saw the coffin. However, she was still Ruby’s mother-in-law, so Melody Fox did not treat her with the same attitude as the servant.
“It’s fine if you don’t believe me, but I’m here to see Ruby. I won’t leave until I see her.”
“You…”
“If you’re terrified that I’ll bump into the patient, I can stay in room Ruby and not come out.”
Chapter 898
However, Madam Lou still did not want Melody Fox to enter.
However, she suddenly remembered that Ruby had used the child in her stomach to threaten them for a friend today. Her eyelids suddenly lifted as she said, “You’re Manqing’s friend?”
Melody Fox looked at Mrs. Lou in confusion.
Mrs. Lou continued, “To help a friend of hers, she knelt down and begged us. She even threatened us with the life of the child in her stomach. You’re that friend, right?”
Melody Fox looked up in surprise.
It turned out that Ruby had actually done so much for her? Even the child in her stomach…
Melody Fox felt a lump in her throat. She was touched.
It seemed that Ruby was more sincere and concerned about her than she had imagined.
The last trace of dissatisfaction he had towards Ruby and Mason for hiding and deceiving her completely dissipated.
In that case, even if she did not have to deal with the Murphy family, she had to help the Taylor family.
“Yes, I’m that friend.” She nodded.
However, the way Madam Lou looked at her was much more indifferent than before.
“Since you’re Ruby’s friend, please understand us. It’s really inconvenient for our family today. Why don’t you come and look for Ruby another day…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruby’s voice came from inside.
“Mom, is my friend here?”
“Ruby!” Melody Fox raised her voice.
Soon, Ruby walked out.
“Melody, why aren’t you coming in?”
Melody Fox looked at Madam Lou meaningfully.
“Mrs. Taylor, do you accept my suggestion just now? I will stay in her room and not come out. It will definitely not affect your treatment.”
When Ruby heard this, she guessed the reason why Melody Fox did not enter the house to look for her.
She frowned and said, “Mom, isn’t imprisoning me for one night enough? Even my friends can’t come to my house to look for me? In that case, I won’t stay at home. I’ll just stay outside.”
“Child, why are you talking about imprisonment… We’re doing this for your own good. Since you’re in Insterimond, isn’t it bad for you to live outside?”
“Then please don’t stop my friend from looking for me!”
Ruby’s attitude was very tough.
After what happened tonight, she finally understood that her mother-in-law had not completely accepted her as her daughter-in-law after so many years.
All she cared about was the child in her stomach.
However, even though she was pregnant with Mason’s child, her mother-in-law cared more about her eldest son than her second son Mason.
Since that was the case, there was no need for her to be humble to her mother-in-law.
“I’ll give you two choices. Either I move out, or I let my friend through the door.”
“You, you… Is this the attitude you should have when talking to me? Ruby, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re pregnant with our Taylor’s family seed! If you dare to do this again, do you believe that I’ll immediately ask Mason to divorce you?!”
“Divorce?” Ruby said coldly, “What era are we in now? Do you think women can’t live after a divorce? Besides, I don’t believe that Mason Taylor will divorce me just because of one word from you. If he says the word divorce to me because of you, I’ll immediately go to city hall! I don’t want such a husband!”
“You-“
Madam Lou was so angry that her face turned green.
However, she knew very well that Ruby was right. Mason would not listen to her and divorce Ruby.
Back then, to marry Ruby, her youngest son had even given up the Taylor Corporation’s inheritance rights. It was still because she couldn’t bear to part with her son that Mason continued to work in the Taylor Corporation’s businesses.
Even so, Mason still chose Silverlake’s branch office for this vixen and did not choose to stay in Insterimond.
It could be seen how much importance her son Mason placed on this vixen.
Between her and Ruby, Mrs. Lou didn’t have the confidence that Mason would choose her.
Her face was ashen. Just as she was about to curse Ruby, a woman in pajamas rushed out.
“Mom! Is the doctor here?”
Melody Fox turned to look. The woman’s appearance was still considered iconic, but her slender eyes gave off an overbearing feeling.
Her eyes were black and blue as if she had not slept well for a few days.
Ruby saw that she was sizing up the woman and reminded her in a low voice, “This is my sister-in-law, Chang Jie. She doesn’t have a good relationship with me…”
Melody Fox nodded, indicating that he understood.
Mrs. Lou asked anxiously, “Why did you come out of the room? Has Rui’s illness acted up?”
“Yes!” Chang Jie said with reddened eyes, “Mom, quickly go and see if the doctor is here! He seems to be more serious than before today.”
Madam Lou’s eyes widened. She immediately grabbed the fake Daoist priest’s wide sleeve and said, “Master, please save my son! As long as you save him, I’ll give you 2 million dollars!”
“2 million dollars…” the fake Daoist was speechless.
the Murphy family had only given him 200 thousand dollars. It seemed that he could earn an extra sum of money.
Chang Jie asked Mrs. Lou in confusion, “Mom, who is this?” “This is the master sent by the Murphy family.”
Chang Jie firmly believed that the Murphy family could cure her husband’s illness and hurriedly begged the fake Daoist priest.
“Master, please save my husband!”
“Yes, Master, please!”
The fake Daoist priest stroked his beard and suppressed the greed in his heart. “Don’t worry, I can cure him. Let’s go!”
At this moment, the fake Daoist priest could not care less about Melody Fox. He directly let Mrs. Lou lead the way.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Melody Fox pulled Ruby’s hand and was about to walk in when Chang Jie stopped him.
“Stop! Who are you?”
Chang Jie’s gaze was unfriendly as she stared at Melody Fox warily.
Ruby, who was beside her, introduced her. “Her surname is Fox. She’s my friend. Her medical skills are very good. I got pregnant because I took her medicine. Perhaps she can take a look at Big Brother and Dad’s illness.”
“No need!” Chang Jie refused coldly. “the Murphy family has already sent someone over. There’s no need for another person of unknown origin. Besides, who knows if you have ill intentions and deliberately don’t want my husband to recover?”
Ruby’s expression changed.
“Sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense. Are you saying that I caused my Eldest Brother and Father to fall sick? Do you believe that if you spout nonsense again, I’ll sue you for slander?”
Chang Jie narrowed her eyes and said, “Sue me? The family has already become like this, and you still want to sue me? Are you so anxious that you’re showing your fox tail? Besides, if something happens to Dad and Ah Rui, you and Mason will be the biggest beneficiaries. Even the police will list you and your wife as the first suspects, right? I think you two are regretting giving up the inheritance back then and are deliberately plotting to harm my husband now!”
Ruby was so angry that her face turned green.
“You’re slandering us!”
“Ruby!” Melody Fox pulled Ruby’s sleeve and said, ” Don’t be angry with such a person. There’s still a baby in your stomach.”
Chapter 899
With Melody Fox’s persuasion, Ruby finally calmed down a little.
“Indeed, it wouldn’t be worth it if the fetal qi was affected because of such a person!”
Chang Jie’s expression changed when she heard this.
“Such a person’? What do you mean? I’m your sister-in-law, how dare you scold me? Damn it! Indeed, people from poor families don’t know what manners are!”
Ruby looked at Chang Jie coldly and said, “It takes one to know one. Your family is rich, but they don’t seem to have taught you how to speak and behave.”
“You-“
Chang Jie raised her hand to slap Ruby.
Melody Fox reacted quickly and stopped Chang Jie’s hand in mid-air. She turned her wrist gently and Chang Jieton Fox screamed in pain.
“Ahhh! Let go! My hand is going to break!”
Melody Fox pushed Chang Jie away and said to Ruby, “Let’s go to your room. I have something to tell you.”
“Yeah.”
Ruby nodded. He glanced coldly at Chang Jie, who was in so much pain that she could not stand steadily, and said, “Even if you beg me in the future, I won’t get involved. But this is my friend. You have no right to not let her in.”
With that, she walked past Chang Jie and entered with Melody Fox.
“Stop! Stop right there! Someone! Stop them!”
Chang Jie’s shout came from behind them.
Ruby’s gaze swept across the servants and bodyguards nearby. After hesitating for a moment, everyone did not dare to go forward and stop Ruby.
When they reached Ruby’s room, Melody Fox could not help but ask, “Why are your brother-in-law and your sister-in-law staying with you too?”
Ruby shook her head.
“In the past, they didn’t live here. They only moved here a few days ago. I think it’s probably because Eldest Brother is sick and my mother-in-law wants to take care of him and
my father-in-law together, so she moved here. However, you don’t have to care about her. She and her Eldest Brother both have persecutory delusions. They always feel that Mason and I want to snatch their inheritance rights. She hasn’t been like this for a day or two. I’m already used to it.” If it weren’t for Chang Jie’s bad attitude towards Melody Fox, she wouldn’t even bother to be angry with Chang Jie.
However, Chang Jie could be rude to her, but she could not treat her friend with the same attitude.
This was her bottom line.
Melody Fox looked up and asked, “So Mason’s brother is the same kind of person as your sister-in-law?” “Yeah.”
“No wonder they got married. But in that case, I don’t care if Mason’s brother lives or dies.”
When Ruby heard this, she was surprised for a moment before asking, “You can cure their illness?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “There’s another important reason why I came to look for you so late at night. I’m here to treat Chairman Lou. The person sent by the Murphy family was not sent by the Murphy family’s main family. This guy is just an ‘actor’. He doesn’t know how to treat illnesses at all.”
“What?!” Ruby6’s eyes instantly widened.
Melody Fox continued, “Jian Huan no longer has any value, so the Murphy family’s main family abandoned Jian Huan’s branch. Your father-in-law’s illness was caused by the main family, so Jian Huan’s family did not know how to treat him at all. However, to obtain the Green Velvet’s supplementary potion, they had no choice but to find someone to deceive him.”
“Have you told my mother-in-law about this?”
Melody Fox shrugged helplessly and said, “I said that the fake Daoist priest was a liar, but no one believed me.”
Ruby immediately stood up from her chair and said, “I’ll go tell them now.”
“Wait.”
Melody Fox stopped Ruby and said, “In this situation, even if you go over and tell them, they won’t believe you.”
“So what do we do? Just watch them get cheated?”
“Of course not. When that fake Daoist priest can’t suppress their illness, we’ll go over. When we reach Fox, they’ll believe me even if they have to try their best.”
Ruby felt grateful and guilty.
“I’m sorry, Melody. You came for their safety, but none of them believed you and even wanted to chase you away…”
Melody Fox smiled and shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about these things. If I cared about everyone’s attitude, I would have killed myself long ago.”
Ruby knew that because of Melody Fox’s appearance, many people would openly and secretly despise her.
Thinking of this, Ruby could not help but feel even more heartache for Melody Fox.
She tightened her grip on Melody Fox’s hand and said, When you treat them, don’t stand on ceremony. Just ask them for a large sum of medical fees.”
Melody Fox smiled gently.
“Of course, I don’t treat them for free.”
However, she did not want money. Instead, she wanted the Taylor family to break up with the Murphy family and make Taylor’s family belong to Ken Swanson, becoming a part of Ken Swanson’s strength.
Downstairs…
Chang Jie’s hand was finally treated by the servants. Her hand was in extreme pain from Melody Fox’s twisting. She only felt much better when the servants brought her painkillers and ice cubes.
When the pain subsided a little, Chang Jie walked upstairs to settle scores with Ruby and Melody Fox.
However, at Fox, cries of surprise came from upstairs. “Ah…-be careful!”
“Rui, wake up! I’m your mother!”
“Quick! Save him!”
Chang Jie was stunned. She ignored Ruby and quickly ran upstairs to check on the situation.
When he ran to the door of Lou Rui’s room, he saw that Lou Rui had broken free from the rope that tied him up. The room was in a mess, and there were many pieces of objects scattered on the ground. Lou Rui had just gone crazy and smashed everything in the room.
After Lou Rui and Chairman Lou’s illness acted up, they would go crazy, lose their minds, and become crazy.
Therefore, long before the illness acted up, they were tied to the beds in their respective rooms.
Meanwhile, Lou Rui, who had broken free from the rope, was holding a vase in his hand. He was walking towards Madam Lou with a ferocious expression.
Madam Lou was so frightened that her legs went weak. She sat on the ground and could not move. She was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted for help. Chang Jie took a few seconds to react.
“H-Hubby… What are you doing?! Wake up! That’s Mommy!” As she shouted, she grabbed a servant and said, “What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and save her!”
There was a bloody hole in the servant’s forehead. He did not dare to go over now. He shrunk his neck and said, “I, I don’t dare…”
“Trash!!”
Chang Jie cursed. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw the fake Daoist priest cowering in the corner.
Her eyes lit up. She walked up to the fake Daoist and said, “Master, can’t you cure my husband? Hurry up and save him!” the fake Daoist had never seen such a situation before.
However, before he came over, the Murphy family people had already told him the general situation in advance, so he was not completely scared out of his wits.
Thinking of the “performance fees” promised by the Taylor and 2 million dollars and the Murphy family, the fake Daoist priest swallowed hard and pulled out the sword behind him. He said to Chang Jie, “He’s under a spell. Don’t worry, I’ll stabilize him first!”
Chapter 900
“Bewitched?”
Chang Jie was shocked again.
She had only heard this word in television dramas and had never come into contact with it in reality.
However, she did not expect such a thing to happen to the person closest to her.
Chang Jie suddenly shivered.
She did not doubt the truth of Monk’s words in the least, even though she was a highly educated person.
Because Lou Rui’s behavior was too similar to being possessed!
Almost every night, he would become a different person. He would become abnormally manic and lose his rationality. There were a few times when he hurt people. Every time there were people, the whites of Lou Rui’s eyes would be covered by a strange red blood clot. It was no different from the eyes of a fairy in a movie.
If he wasn’t possessed, then what was he?
No wonder the Murphy family sent a fake Daoist priest over. There were specializations in every field. It seemed that her husband was saved!
“Master, please save my husband! I’ll definitely thank you!” “Shh! Be quiet!”
The master glared at Chang Jie, who immediately covered her mouth obediently.
At Fox, Lou Rui had already arrived in front of Madam Lou with a vase.
“Go to hell! Go to hell!”
Lou Rui shouted. He raised the vase in his hand and was about to smash it on Madam Lou’s head.
“Ah!!!-“
Madam Lou subconsciously covered her face with her hand and screamed.
With a muffled bang, Madam Lou’s entire body instantly tensed up.
However, the expected pain did not come.
She was stunned for a moment before she mustered her courage and looked ahead.
Lou Rui fell to the ground, unconscious.
Soon, Madam Lou figured out what was going on. It was the fake Daoist priest who knocked Lou Rui out with the hilt of his sword.
Madam Lou heaved a sigh of relief and hugged Lou Rui worriedly.
“Son? Son, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, Madam Lou.” The fake Daoist priest walked forward and said, “It’s very Fox. We have to deal with it very carefully. I can only save you by knocking him unconscious, but I didn’t hit him too hard. He will wake up soon. Before that, I have to exorcise him quickly.”
Madam Lou repeated the fake Daoist priest’s words in a daze. “Exorcism?”
“Precisely, Monk said as if he meant it. “I’ve encountered many similar cases of apocalyptic diseases. After my treatment, they all recovered quickly.”
Madam Lou did not believe the fake Daoist priest’s words as easily as Chang Jie.
Firstly, she did not believe in gods and Buddhas. The only person she had worshiped was the God of Wealth.
Secondly, Melody Fox’s words seemed to have taken root in her heart. Although she still invited the fake Daoist priest in to treat Lou Rui, she still felt a little strange when she looked at the fake Daoist priest’s Fox appearance.
Now that she heard the word “possessed”, she naturally did not believe it.
“My husband and son are just sick… Bewitched. Isn’t this a little too ridiculous?”
“Mom!” Chang Jie also helped the fake Daoist priest. “I think the
master is right. Whether it’s Lou Rui or Dad, their symptoms are too strange. When have we ever heard of anyone suffering from such a disease before? So the master is definitely right. They are really possessed.”
“This…” Madam Lou looked at Lou Rui, whose face was extremely pale, and thought about how Lou Rui, who had always been filial, wanted to kill her. Her heart finally wavered.
Chang Jie continued, “Mom, let him be treated first. After all, he was called over by the Murphy family… We all know how Dad and Rui got sick.”.
Chang Jie’s meaning was clear: Since it was done by the Murphy family people, they naturally knew how to crack it, so this fake Daoist priest would definitely be able to cure them.
When Madam Lou heard this, she finally let go of her last trace of suspicion.
She looked at the fake Daoist and said, “Master, I was disrespectful just now. It’s just that I’ve never encountered such a situation before, so I couldn’t accept it. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Monk stroked his beard. “Well, that’s understandable. If you have no more objections, move the man back to his bed. I’m going to start working on him.”
“Aye, aye.”
Mrs. Lou nodded repeatedly and ordered the servants to move Lou Rui back to the bed.
After flattening Lou Rui, the servant tied Lou Rui up again, afraid that he would go crazy again and hurt someone.
One had to know that when Lou Rui went crazy, anything could be thrown at him.
However, Madam Lou’s heart ached for her son. No matter how crazy Lou Rui was, she didn’t let them fight back in case they hurt Lou Rui.
Hence, many of the servants resigned from their work. The number of bodyguards decreased by several times.
This was also one of the reasons why even Mrs. Lou was almost killed by Lou Rui just now. It was because the Taylors had too few servants and bodyguards now.
Apart from a few people guarding Chairman Lou and the door, there was only one bodyguard and two middle-aged servants in the room.
With just these few people, how could they stop a crazy Lou Rui who worked out all year round and was in his prime?
When the last rope was tied tightly, everyone in the room, including Madam Lou, heaved a sigh of relief.
Chang Jie made sure that the rope was firmly tied up before saying to the fake Daoist priest, “Master, it’s done. Please exorcise my husband!”
Monk nodded. “Clear that table in the room.”
“Good!”
Chang Jie quickly led her men to clear the desk in the room.
Soon, the fake Daoist priest “opened an altar” on the empty table.
He took out the talisman he carried with him and scattered it in the air. Then, he placed a cup containing an unknown liquid on the table.
After that, the fake Daoist priest took out his sword and walked around Lou Rui. Then, he walked back to the table.
Coincidentally, at Fox, Lou Rui woke up.
“Let me go! Go to hell! Go to hell!”
He struggled crazily.
The thick solid wooden bed creaked as he moved, as if it had fallen apart with Fox.
Madam Lou thought of how she almost died in Lou Rui’s hands just now and subconsciously took a step back in fear.
However, on second thought, she remembered that it was her son. She stood back at her original spot and cried, “Son, hold on a little longer. The master will cure you soon.” Chang Jie’s eyes reddened.
Although her family was rich, they were old-fashioned. Ever since she married, her family had treated her like water
that had been splashed out and did not care about her at all.
Especially after Lou Rui’s accident, her family avoided her and refused to see her, afraid that she would lead the trouble for her family.
It was precisely because she had such a maternal family that she used to whisper in Lou Rui’s ear, asking him to think of a way to get Chairman Lou to abdicate as soon as possible, in case something unexpected happened and Mason beat him to it.
Because other than Lou Rui, she had no one else to rely on. Who knew that Lou Rui would have such a disease!
If Lou Rui’s illness couldn’t be cured, her future path would be difficult.
The more Chang Jie thought about it, the more worried she became. She begged Lou Rui to return to normal as soon as possible.
Chapter 901
Chang Jie prayed in her heart and looked at the fake Daoist nervously.
The fake Daoist priest held a bell in one hand and a sword in the other. His eyes were closed as he continued to read something she did not understand.
She had seen such a scene in movies before. It was indeed very professional!
Suddenly, the fake Daoist opened his eyes, put down the bell, and scattered another talisman paper in the air.
He waved the sword in his right hand and stabbed one of the talismans.
“As per the law!”
With a loud shout, the talisman actually burned out of thin air.
Chang Jie’s eyes widened in shock…
“Impressive…”
This magical first scene made Madam Lou, who didn’t believe in fake Daoist priests at first, completely believe in him.
She said excitedly, “When Rui recovers later, I’ll get the master to visit your father.”
Chang Jie nodded vigorously. She finally felt that there was hope in her life again.
Lou Rui was sick. She was living a very depressing life!
In the blink of an eye, the talisman was reduced to ashes. The fake Daoist priest scooped up the ashes and placed them into the cup of water. Then, he chanted again.
After chanting for three to five minutes, the fake Daoist priest looked as if he had been pardoned. He let out a long breath and said, “Alright, the exorcism ritual is complete. Now, we just need to give him the Exorcism Holy Water to drink.”
Chang Jie did not suspect anything. She took the Exorcism Water from the fake Daoist priest and walked to Lou Rui.
Lou Rui was still in a frenzied state. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was gritting his teeth as if he were going to grind them to pieces. It was extremely terrifying.
Chang Jie took one look and did not dare to approach. She could only turn around and call for the servants. “Someone, help me pour the holy water into him.”
The servants looked at each other. In the end, Mrs. Lou walked forward and said, “Let me help you.”
Chang Jie nodded and held Lou Rui’s head while suppressing her fear.
But when her hand got close to Lou Rui, Lou Rui suddenly stood up and bit her finger.
Fresh blood flowed out of Fox cubicles, but Lou Rui didn’t let go when he tasted the blood. Instead, he bit her even harder, as if he was vowing to bite off her finger before he stopped.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Chang Jieton Fox screamed.
Ten fingers connected to the heart. This kind of pain was even more painful than Melody Fox dislocating her hand!
“Let go! Let go!” Chang Jie shouted with a pale face. “Lou Rui! My finger is going to break!”
As she shouted, she slapped Lou Rui’s face in horror.
Seeing this, Madam Lou pressed Chang Jie’s hand down and said, “Don’t hit him. He’s sick! Someone! Come and open his mouth!”
The servants boldly stepped forward. In the end, the bodyguard was stronger and finally managed to forcefully pull Chang Jie’s finger out of Lou Rui’s mouth.
However, Fox Chang Jie’s finger had been bitten to the bone.
She was in so much pain that she gasped. She couldn’t even stand straight, let alone pour water for Lou Rui.
In the end, Madam Lou and the bodyguards forced the holy water into Lou Rui’s mouth.
However, a lot of the entire glass of water was spilled. In the end, she only drank half of it.
“Master, is it not enough?” Madam Lou asked worriedly.
“No,” Monk said calmly. “Just wait. He’ll be back to normal in no time.”
Madam Lou nodded.
The truth was as the fake Daoist priest had said. In less than a minute, Lou Rui slowly calmed down from his crazy state. Soon, he closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep. “He’s…”
The fake Daoist explained, “His relapse consumed too much energy. He needs to recuperate. Don’t wake him up. When he wakes up, there won’t be any problems.”
“Really?”
Madam Lou almost cried out loud.
“Thank you very much, Maestro. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know what to do.”
Monk arched a brow. “If you’d all believed me sooner, I’d have cured him.”
Madam Lou smiled awkwardly.
“You’re right. It’s all my fault.”
After Madam Lou finished speaking, she glanced at Chang Jie from the corner of her eye. Only then did she remember that Chang Jie was about to faint from the pain.
“Jie! Is your hand okay?”
Chang Jie still remembered that her hand was almost
bitten off just now. Even her mother-in-law did not allow her to hit Lou Rui.
Her heart was filled with displeasure, but because
Chairman Lou had yet to abdicate, she suppressed her displeasure and said with pale lips, “My hand needs to stop the bleeding…”
“Yeah, yeah, stop the bleeding.”
Only then did Mrs. Lou call for the servants. “Hurry up and bring the medical box over!”
“Yes…”
The first aid kit was in the room. The servant quickly found it and disinfected and stopped Chang Jie’s bleeding.
Melody Fox and Ruby heard Chang Jie’s scream and rushed over.
Chang Jie seemed to have forgotten the pain when she saw the two of them. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Melody Fox and Ruby. “What are you trying to do?!”
Ruby frowned and said, “We heard a sound and thought something had happened, so we came over to take a look.”
“We’re doing very well here. If you want to see something happen to my husband, you should go back! You won’t be able to see it! The master has already cured him! When he wakes up, he will completely recover!”
When Ruby heard that, he looked at Lou Rui in confusion.
Lou Rui was indeed lying quietly with his eyes closed. He didn’t go crazy anymore.
Last night, she heard Lou Rui scream for the entire night. It only quietened down the next morning.
However, she didn’t know that Lou Rui and her father-in-law were sick yesterday. She thought that they had drunk too much and were drunk.
However, didn’t Melody tell her that this fake Daoist priest was a liar? Could Melody have made a mistake?
Thinking of this, Ruby stopped looking and nodded. “It’s good that you’re fine.”
However, Chang Jie did not appreciate it. Her tone was still nasty as she said, “Stop pretending! You deliberately came to see me because you wanted something to happen, right?” “Nonsense! I clearly heard the sound and came because I was worried.”
What an ungrateful dog!
Ruby was furious. He grabbed Melody Fox’s hand and said, “Melody, let’s go!”
She didn’t want to care about Lou Rui’s life and death as long as her father-in-law was fine.
However, Ruby pulled Melody Fox but did not pull her.
She looked at Melody Fox in confusion. She saw Melody Fox’s nose move as if it was sniffing something in the air. “What’s wrong, Melody?”
After Melody Fox sniffed twice, his expression immediately turned grave.
This smell… It was the smell of a powerful oral tranquilizer!
If he didn’t smell wrong, this tranquilizer was even added with a heart stabilizer!
Not good!
Melody Fox could not be bothered to answer Ruby. He grabbed Chang Jie’s hand and asked, “What drugs did you feed him?!”
“Let me go!”
Chang Jie wanted to shake off Melody Fox’s hand in disgust, but Melody Fox’s hand was like a pair of pliers, firmly restraining her wrist. She could not break free at all! Damn it!
Chang Jie was afraid that Melody Fox would dislocate her hand again, so she could only turn to Madam Lou for help. “Mom! Hurry up and chase her away!”
Chapter 902
Madam Lou walked towards the door.
Like Chang Jie, she looked at Melody Fox with displeasure.
“Miss, this is our family’s business. You’d better not get involved.”
As Mrs. Lou spoke, she said to Ruby, “Ruby, why aren’t you taking your friend away? Don’t you know what kind of occasion this is? How can you insist on calling your friend to our house in such a situation? Don’t tell me you really don’t want your brother to recover?” “Of course, I’m not-“
Ruby was about to explain when Melody Fox spoke first. “If you really don’t want him to die, tell me the dosage and the name of the medicine he took immediately! Or show me the remaining medicine. Otherwise, he will definitely die!”
Melody Fox originally didn’t want to care about Lou Rui’s life and death. However, when it came to Fox, as a doctor, she couldn’t really leave him in the lurch.
Although Lou Rui and his wife weren’t good people, they didn’t deserve to die.
In addition, Ruby also hoped that she could save Lou Rui, so she was willing to give them one last chance.
However, as soon as Melody Fox finished speaking, Madam Lou and Chang Jie became even more dissatisfied. “Shut up! Who allowed you to curse my husband?! Ruby, hurry up and take her away! Otherwise, don’t blame me for calling someone to throw her out! When we reach that Fox, don’t blame me for reminding her first!” “That’s right! Manqing, don’t you care that your friend is spouting nonsense? Your brother has already recovered. What is she saying now? What exactly is her motive?”
Melody Fox said coldly, “I’m not spouting nonsense. If I’m not wrong, he took a strong tranquilizer. Although he looks fine now, his condition will quickly worsen to the point of no return. You don’t have many Fox units left. If this drags on, even the gods won’t be able to save him.”
“Shut up! Don’t lie to the public! My son is doing very well now! Who sent you here? What good will it do you to kill my son?!”
“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. Don’t blame me for reminding you first.”
Chang Jie did not listen to a single word and directly expelled them. “Get lost! Both of you, get lost!”
Madam Lou also said, “Hurry up and leave! Ruby, take her away immediately! I don’t want to see her say such inauspicious words here again.”
Ruby looked at the determined Melody Fox and then at Madam Lou and Chang Jie.
She believed that Melody Fox was definitely not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.
If she said that, it meant that it was true.
Two seconds later, Ruby gritted her teeth and persuaded, “Mom, my friend Melody has superb medical skills. Believe her this once! This fake Daoist priest was sent by the Murphy family to deceive you. the Murphy family people are here for the supplement potion. They don’t want to treat Big Brother and Dad at all.”
“Nonsense!” Monk said in exasperation. “I have cured your family’s patient in front of everyone. How dare you call me a liar? I think you two are the ones with ulterior motives and ill intentions, don’t you?”
Madam Lou’s expression was extremely ugly.
“Ruby, since you’re siding with an outsider, you should leave too! Didn’t you say that you wanted to move out? Then bring your friend out!”
Ruby’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You still don’t believe me?”
“I only believe what I see with my eyes.”
Ruby almost laughed out of anger.
No wonder Melody didn’t say it out loud. Even if he did, they wouldn’t believe him.
Chang Jie and her mother-in-law would not shed tears until they saw the coffin. These words were perfect for describing Chang Jie and her mother-in-law.
“Alright, I won’t care about Big Brother’s life or death anymore. But I can’t just watch as something happens to Dad.”
Madam Lou narrowed her eyes.
“Ruby, what are you trying to do?”
Ruby said expressionlessly, “I want Melody to treat Dad! As for Big Brother, since you don’t need our help, we won’t help! However, when something really happens, don’t come and beg me, let alone let us leave you in the lurch.” “You, you, you dare?! If you dare to let a person of unknown origin treat your father’s illness, I’ll dare to kick you out!”
“I’m sorry, Mom. I have to do this for Dad. If you’re angry, you can scold me! But this is not negotiable!”
“How dare you!?”
Ruby waved her hand and called the bodyguards over.
These people were brought over by Ruby from Silverlake.
Previously, in order not to make Mrs. Lou unhappy, she had specially arranged for these people to stay outside.
Just now, just in case, she had called these bodyguards home.
“Stop them. Don’t let them come out of the room.” “Yes!”
The bodyguards answered in unison and blocked the door in unison. They looked like no one could walk out without the permission of Ruby.
The Taylor’s bodyguards resigned and left. The remaining people were not enough to fight against the Ruby’s bodyguards.
Seeing this, Chang Jie quickly complained to Madam Lou.
“Mom! She’s trying to kill Dad! Do you still want to keep such a daughter-in-law?”
Madam Lou was also furious.
“Traitorous! Ruby, you’re simply rebellious! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?! My son Mason is a filial child. No matter how much he loves you, if he knew that you wanted to kill his father, he would definitely divorce you! Think carefully!”
“I only do what I think is right. Mason will never misunderstand me indiscriminately.”
Ruby grabbed Melody Fox’s hand and said, Melody, let’s go and see Dad.”
Melody Fox nodded.
Since even Ruby didn’t care about Lou Rui’s life anymore, there was no need for her to continue insisting.
In any case, the two people in Taylor’s family did not need her treatment.
“Stop! Stop right there!”
Madam Lou was worried that her husband would be killed by Melody Fox, so she quickly chased after him.
However, before she reached the door, she was pushed back by Ruby’s bodyguards.
“Madam, you are not allowed to go out without Madam’s permission.”
“You, you dare to stop me? I’m her mother-in-law!!”
However, the bodyguards were not moved at all. They still stood straight in front of Madam Lou.
Madam Lou was so angry that her nose was crooked. She could only shout, “Ruby, stop right there! A life for a life. If anything happens to your father-in-law, I will definitely not let you off!”
Ruby stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Mrs. Lou. “I only know that if I don’t bring Melody to treat Dad, something will really happen to him!”
After saying that, she was about to pull Melody Fox away when she suddenly heard someone exclaim in the room-
“Ah! Oh no! Young Master vomited blood!”
“What?!”
Madam Lou turned to look at Lou Rui, who was lying on the bed, in shock.
Chapter 903
Lou Rui, who had been sleeping peacefully just now, was vomiting blood non-stop. Even the original color of the
white bedsheets could not be seen clearly. It made people think that it was a dark red color.
“Son!”
Madam Lou was shocked and ran to Lou Rui’s side.
“Son, son, how are you?”
However, the only response she got was the sound of Lou Rui vomiting blood.
His face was almost as red as a pig’s liver, and blood kept spurting out of his mouth like a faucet that had been turned on. The amount of blood was terrifying.
“H-how could this be…?”
Chang Jie stood rooted to the ground.
The servant was the first to react and shouted, “Ambulance! Call an ambulance!”
Only then did Chang Jie suddenly react.
“Why are you calling an ambulance? Master! Master, help me take a look at my husband! Isn’t he fine? Why is he vomiting blood…”
“I…-I don’t know… It shouldn’t be…”
The fake Daoist backed away in fear.
The potion was none other than the powerful tranquilizer that Melody Fox had mentioned.
According to the “employer”, after drinking this tranquilizer, even a cow could sleep for a day and a night.
He could take advantage of the fact that the other party was sleeping and exchange the supplement for money.
However, things clearly exceeded his expectations. Not only did the other party wake up very quickly, but he also vomited blood non-stop, looking like he was breathing more than he was breathing.
“How can you not know? Can’t you cure him?!”
Chang Jie broke down and shouted, “Hurry up and stop his bleeding!”
“I won’t… I didn’t do it on purpose…”
“No? What do you mean? Mom, quickly think of something!”
Madam Lou was also panicking.
She took a few steps forward. She didn’t know where she got the strength from, but she pulled the fake Daoist priest, who was a head taller than her, to Lou Rui’s bed.
“He became like this because he drank the holy water you gave him. You must have a way! If you can’t treat him, I’ll sue you for intentional murder!”
When the fake Daoist heard this, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He tried his best to stabilize himself and said with a long face, “I didn’t get this water. Someone gave it to me. I don’t know why he vomited blood after drinking it… You can’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame the family who hired me!”
Madam Lou was stunned on the spot. Her eyes widened as she asked, “What do you mean you didn’t make the water? Didn’t you say that he was possessed and would recover after drinking your holy water? Also, what do you mean by hiring you… Aren’t you from the Murphy family?”
The fake Daoist priest was afraid that he would take a life, so he immediately told him everything.
“He’s not possessed at all. There are no ghosts in the world.. I did everything according to the wishes of the family who hired me.
“The holy water contains a tranquilizer. He will fall asleep after drinking it. My mission is to wait for him to fall asleep and ask you for the Green Velvet medicine’s supplementary potion…”
Once I get the medicine, I’ll get a lot of money. I don’t know anything else!
Don’t find trouble with me. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. If you want to find me, go find the family that hired me!
“Also, I’m not a Daoist priest at all. I’m just a fortune-teller on an overpass… Besides, my fortune-telling is all nonsense. I don’t know anything about fortune-telling! I’m innocent. Please spare me!”
Madam Lou’s expression changed again and again. Her mind even went blank for a moment.
Chang Jie almost fainted from anger.
It turned out that they had been tormented for so long and had actually been fooled by a fake Daoist priest!
To think that she was still grateful to the heavens for
sending such a master over. Unexpectedly, the other party was a liar!
Ridiculous! She felt that she was a clown!
“I’ll kill you!”
The more Chang Jie thought about it, the angrier she became. Her eyes were bloodshot as she ran forward and grabbed the fake Daoist priest’s neck tightly.
“Kill you, I’m going to kill you! Die!”
“Let go-“
After all, the fake Daoist priest was a man and was much stronger than Chang Jie.
He grabbed Chang Jie’s hand and pulled out the sword he always carried with him. He pressed the sword against Chang Jie’s neck.
The sword was slit open and extremely sharp. With a light touch on Chang Jie’s skin, a bloody wound immediately appeared on her neck.
The pain woke her up, and she was so frightened that she did not dare to move.
“What do you want to do?!” Seeing this, Madam Lou warned loudly, “Don’t act rashly!”
The fake Monk was at his wits’ end. He gritted his teeth. “Let me go! Or I’ll take her down with me!”
The man on the bed was dead meat. If he took someone’s life, his life would be ruined!
He still wanted to live. He didn’t want to be shot!
“Mom, save me…”
Chang Jie regretted her impulsiveness and could only helplessly ask Madam Lou for help.
Madam Lou still had feelings for her eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing this, she became even more anxious. She could only nod and say, “Okay, okay, okay. As long as you don’t hurt my daughter-in-law, I’ll let you go… Don’t touch her!”
“Don’t worry, as long as I get out of here safely, I’ll let her go! Now, tell everyone blocking the door to go away! The further the better!”
Those bodyguards were burly and he was no match for them, so they had to go far away.
“We’ll listen to you, we’ll listen to you!”
Mrs. Lou immediately said to Ruby at the door, “If you still have a conscience and don’t want to see your sister-in-law die in front of you, get your men to scram!”
Ruby had always been a kind person.
Hearing this, she did not hesitate and immediately instructed the bodyguards, “All of you, retreat further away!” “Yes!”
With the order from Ruby, the bodyguards quickly stepped aside to make way for a fake Daoist.
The fake Daoist held Chang Jie’s hands tightly with one hand and pressed the dagger against Chang Jie’s neck with the other. The two of them walked towards the door step by step.
The bodyguards had already retreated far away. Only Ruby and Melody Fox were standing at the door.
Monk went to the door and waited for them. “You two stay back, too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruby had no choice but to retreat a few meters.
However, Melody Fox remained rooted to the ground.
Seeing this, Madam Lou cursed, “Damn it! Stand further away! Are you trying to kill my daughter-in-law? You evil fool!”
Chang Jie also glared at Melody Fox hatefully.
If this stupid woman did not cooperate with this fake Daoist priest, the fake Daoist priest might very well attack her.
This ugly woman couldn’t wait for her to die! What a vicious woman!
“Get lost!” Chang Jie shouted angrily.
Facing Chang Jie and Madam Lou’s scolding, Melody Fox’s expression did not change at all.
She looked at the fake Monk expressionlessly. “Let her go. I’ll give you three seconds to get out.”
“Are you kidding me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cut her neck?! Hurry up and back off!”
Melody Fox ignored him and started counting down. “Three.”
“Two…”
“Damn it, do you really want me to do it?! I really did it!” “One…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fake Daoist saw Melody Fox, who had been standing in front of him a moment ago, suddenly disappear.
Chapter 904
What was going on?!
Why… did he disappear?
The fake Daoist was stunned. Before he could see what was going on, he felt a gust of wind behind him.
Before he could react, his vision turned black and he fell backward.
The sword in his hand also loosened and fell to the ground with a bang.
Chang Jie widened her eyes and turned around. She looked at the fake Daoist priest who had fallen to the ground in disbelief, as well as Melody Fox who had appeared behind the fake Daoist priest.
So… this woman saved her?
She wasn’t trying to harm him. She wanted to see him die at Monk’s hands. But did she have the confidence to save him?
However, the reality was that the other party did have the right to be confident.
This ordinary-looking woman’s speed was so fast that even the naked eye could not catch it!
In the meantime, Chang Jie did not know what expression to show.
But one thing was certain, she was safe!
“Tie him up,” Melody Fox ordered.
The bodyguards and servants finally reacted.
Lou Rui and Chairman Lou had to be tied up with ropes for the past few days, so the last thing they lacked at home was ropes.
They quickly tied the fake Daoist priest up like a dumpling.
“Melody, are you alright?” Ruby took a few steps forward and asked Melody Fox.
Melody Fox shook her head gently. “I’m fine, but your big brother…”
Melody Fox did not continue because she knew that no one present would like to hear what she said.
However, after what Melody Fox said, Madam Lou and Chang Jie suddenly remembered that Lou Rui was still in danger!
After being interrupted by the fake Daoist priest, they almost forgot about Lou Rui!
Lou Rui had stopped vomiting blood, but his entire body was convulsing violently as if there was a high-voltage electric current constantly swimming in his body. He kept cramping and rolling his eyes, and his face had turned a very strange blackish-purple color.
He looked even more terrifying than when he just started vomiting blood!
“Son! Son! Wake up!” Mrs. Lou slapped Lou Rui’s face and shouted, “Where’s the ambulance? Did you call the ambulance?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Rui suddenly stopped cramping. Instead, his eyelids suddenly rolled back and then he completely stopped moving.
Madam Lou was shocked. Her hands trembled as she checked Lou Rui’s breathing.
Two seconds later, her hands trembled violently and her eyes widened.
“That’s it…”
Breathing. Gone.
Her son… was gone!
“Son! My son!”
Madam Lou broke down and hugged Lou Rui.
Chang Jie looked at the two of them hugging each other in a daze. It was as if she had been divorced. After standing rooted to the ground for a few seconds, she suddenly looked at Melody Fox.
“You, did you already know that this would happen?”
Melody Fox looked at Chang Jie as if she was a fool.
“I told you from the beginning that the fake Daoist priest was a liar. I also told you that the medicine you gave Lou Rui would accelerate his death, but you didn’t believe a word of it.”
Chang Jie and Madam Lou’s faces turned pale.
Yes, this woman had told them from the beginning, but none of them listened.
Not only did he not listen, he even wanted to chase this woman away a few times.
If it weren’t for Ruby, she might have been kicked out of the house by them.
The word “regret” was engraved on Chang Jie and Madam Lou’s faces.
Melody Fox continued, “Lou Rui is not the so-called bewitched person that the fake Daoist priest mentioned. He has been bewitched. You’ve heard from the fake Daoist priest that the so-called holy water is just a strong tranquilizer.”
“Poss… Possession…?”
“What is this?”
Melody Fox explained patiently, “It’s a Gu worm. You should have more or less heard that Gu worms are a harmful thing in Miaojiang. The Gu worm in his body is called the Soul Leaving Worm. When it acts up, a person will lose his mind and become a lunatic without a soul. It’s extremely aggressive.”
Ruby could not help but ask, “Melody, then why did Big Brother become like this after taking a tranquilizer?” “Because the Soul Detachment Insect likes to move, who is in effect, will crazily wander in his brain and control it. However, the fake Daoist priest accidentally made Lou Rui take a strong tranquilizer, causing Lou Rui to fall into a coma. In this way, the Soul Detachment Insect will become even crazier… His current state should be caused by the complete destruction of his brain by the Soul Detachment Insect.”
If his brain was destroyed, wouldn’t he be powerless to reverse the situation?
Even if there were a hundred of her or even a hundred of her masters, it was impossible to save a person whose brain had been completely destroyed.
Chang Jie’s legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
If they had believed this woman’s words from the beginning, would her husband not have become like this?
Had she listened to a liar, killed her husband, and destroyed the only thing she could rely on?
Guilt, self-blame, anger, sadness, fear…
All kinds of emotions were mixed together, almost driving Chang Jie crazy.
“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. Boohoo…”
Chang Jie covered her face and wailed.
Madam Lou was still holding on to her last bit of hope.
She crawled to Melody Fox and hugged her thigh. “Miss, benefactor, please save my son! Since you know so much, you must know how to save him, right?”
When Chang Jie heard this, she stopped crying and looked at Melody Fox with the last bit of hope.
Facing their pleading gazes, Melody Fox remained expressionless.
She said calmly, “I’ve said it before. The Fox people who came over told me exactly how many doses of tranquilizers he had taken and asked me to expel the tranquilizers for him. Perhaps he still has a chance of being saved, but it’s too late now. Even if Hua Tuo was alive or a god descended, it’s impossible for him to be saved.”
“No, no, I don’t believe it…”
Chang Jie shook her head vigorously and walked up to her in a few steps. She knelt down like Madam Lou and said, ” You must be blaming me for treating you badly just now. That’s why you refused to save my husband, right? I already know my mistake. I was blind and trusted a liar wrongly. It’s all my fault! You’re a magnanimous person. Forgive me this time! In the future, we can do anything for you, as long as you save him!”
Madam Lou also begged repeatedly.
“I beg you, please save my son! It’s all my fault as a mother. He’s innocent!”
Melody Fox took a step back and broke free from Mrs. Lou’s grip on her leg. “It’s not that I don’t want to save him, but I really can’t.”
“No! You can definitely save him!”
As Chang Jie spoke, she began to kowtow to Ruby. “Sister-in-law, it was all my fault in the past. But please, on account that Lou Rui is your husband’s biological brother, ask your friend to save him! Our daughter is still so young. She can’t be without a father! Xiaonan likes you very much. Don’t you also like Xiaonan very much? Can you bear to let her not have a father?”
Chapter 905
Although Ruby said that he wouldn’t care about Lou Rui’s life anymore.
However, she was also a pregnant woman. In addition, she really liked Chang Jie’s daughter, Xiao Nan, so she naturally could not listen to Chang Jie say such things.
However, she also knew that Melody Fox was not the kind of person who would leave someone in the lurch.
However, she still turned to look at Melody Fox and asked him with her eyes.
When she saw Melody Fox gently shaking his head at her, she knew that what Melody Fox said was true. She really could not save Lou Rui, who had already stopped breathing. Ruby opened her mouth and said, “I’m sorry, Sister-in-law. My friend is really helpless. It’s not that she doesn’t want to save him, but she really can’t. She’s just an ordinary person and can’t be revived. My condolences…
When Chang Jie heard the words “My condolences, she suddenly went crazy. She quickly stood up from the ground, grabbed Ruby’s collar, and shouted-
“Liar! You’re lying!”
“She even knows what kind of Soul Detachment Insect my husband was poisoned with. She definitely knows how to save him!”
“It must be you. You can’t wait for Lou Rui to die. This way, your husband will be the only heir of the Taylor.”
“Ruby! You’re so cruel!! You and Mason will definitely suffer retribution! Lou Rui will not let you and your wife off when he goes underground!”
Seeing that Chang Jie’s grip on Ruby’s collar was getting stronger, Melody Fox grabbed Chang Jie’s hand and forcefully pulled her away.
Then, she stretched out her hand and pushed Chang Jie to the ground.
“Hold her down!”
Before Chang Jie could get up, Melody Fox had already ordered Spencer.
“Yes!”
Spencer grabbed Chang Jie and pinned her to the ground, unable to move.
“Let me go! Let me go!”
Chang Jie struggled to no avail and turned to Madam Lou for help.
“Mom, save me! Ruby, she’s up to no good! She can ask her friend to save Lou Rui, but she wants Lou Rui to die on purpose, Mom!”
However, Madam Lou acted as if she did not hear him.
She rolled her eyes and looked at Melody Fox. “Miss Fox, right? You’re a doctor?”
“Yes, I’ve been in contact with all kinds of herbs since I was two years old. I’ve been studying medicine since I was enlightened.”
“I see…”
Chang Jie shouted in confusion, “Mom! Why are you telling her this?! Hurry up and ask her to save Lou Rui!”
“Shut up!” Madam Lou glared at Chang Jie.
Chang Jie was stunned for two seconds and said hatefully, Mom, what do you mean? Don’t you care about Lou Rui’s life? He’s your biological son!”
Madam Lou closed her eyes in heartache.
She took a deep breath and said, “Chang Jie, I know you’re sad. I’m not any better than you. Lou Rui is my flesh and blood. How could I not care about him? But… you might not have personally checked his breathing, so you haven’t accepted the reality.”
“What reality?! Lou Rui isn’t dead yet! He can’t be dead!”
“Calm down!” Madam Lou said in a deep voice, “He’s not breathing! A dead person can’t be resurrected. How do you expect Miss Fox to save a dead person?”
“No! I don’t believe it! He’s not dead! He won’t die… What
will happen to me if he dies? I won’t allow him to die!”
Melody Fox dug his ears and said, “Spencer, take her out. She’s too noisy.”
“Yes!”
Spencer answered and forcefully brought Chang Jiele out without caring if she was happy or not.
“Let me go! Let me go!”
Soon, Chang Jie’s voice became softer and softer until it disappeared. Then, Madam Lou spoke again, “Miss Fox, I apologize to you again! Whether it’s the Fox of the auction or the Fox of you who just came home, I’ve offended you in many ways… I’m really sorry!”
Melody Fox nodded slightly, accepting Mrs. Lou’s apology.
Although Madam Lou had many flaws, such as being selfish, stubborn, biased, old-fashioned, and so on, since the other party was sincerely apologizing and she was Mason’s biological mother, there was no need for her to hold on to the other party’s flaws and not accept it.
Moreover, with Lou Rui’s death, Madam Lou wouldn’t be biased in the future.
With only Mason of her two sons left, she naturally had plans for her son Mason.
When Mrs. Lou saw Melody Fox nod, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Lou Rui one last time and said, “Miss Fox, my son had an accident because he drank the so-called ‘holy water’, but my husband hasn’t drunk it yet. His illness hasn’t acted up yet. Is he… still salvageable?”
Ruby also looked at Melody Fox, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Melody Fox nodded gently and said, “Since Director Lou
didn’t drink the ‘holy water’, there’s still hope.”
“Phew…” Madam Lou let out a heavy breath. She felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Lou Rui was dead. Although she was sad, since her husband could still be saved, she couldn’t be immersed in sadness.
Madam Lou asked earnestly, “Miss Fox, can you help me cure my husband? As long as you can cure him, you will be the savior of our Taylor family. In the future, if you say east, we will never go west! I can do anything for you for the rest of my life!”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.
Although Madam Lou had a lot of problems, she was sincere to her husband.
This was naturally a good thing for her and Ken Swanson.
She could imagine that after tonight, the Taylor family would also become her and Ken Swanson’s arms.
Melody Fox said, “You don’t have to say that. Ruby and Mason are my friends. Naturally, I won’t leave you in the lurch. Let’s go. Take me to see Chairman Lou.”
Madam Lou thanked him profusely and quickly led the way. When she reached the door, Mrs. Lou stopped in her tracks. She turned around and instructed the servant, “Help Eldest Young Master tidy up his appearance… Also, don’t tell Master about this.”
“Yes!” The servants answered in unison.
After giving her instructions, Madam Lou walked towards Chairman Lou’s room again.
Chairman Lou’s room was on the third floor.
His Gu-worm had yet to act up, so his mind was still clear. He had more or less heard the commotion just now.
Of course, at the same time, Chairman Lou was tied to the bed with a rope, in case he suddenly lost control. When he saw Mrs. Lou bringing Melody Fox and Ruby to his room, Chairman Lou hurriedly asked, “How’s Rui? Has the doctor from the Murphy family arrived? I heard a huge commotion downstairs just now. What happened?”
Madam Lou was the first to speak. “Rui is almost cured. It’s all thanks to this Dr. Fox.”
“Divine… doctor?”
Chairman Lou looked at Melody Fox in surprise.
He vaguely felt that Melody Fox looked familiar.
In a flash, he suddenly looked up and said, “I remember you! Aren’t you the one at the auction?”
Madam Lou was afraid that Melody Fox would reveal some clues and reveal the news of Lou Rui’s accident, which would affect Chairman Lou’s mental state. Therefore, before Melody Fox could speak, she took the lead and said, “Yes! She’s a divine doctor and Manqing’s friend. She was the one who cured Ah Rui just now.”
