Chapter 906
Chairman Lou asked in confusion, “Didn’t you ask Doctor the Murphy family to treat us? Why is it this…”
This time, Melody Fox beat Madam Lou to it and said, ” Director Lou, the Murphy family did send someone over. Ultimately, he sent a martial arts practitioner who doesn’t know anything.”
“What?!” Director Lou was furious. “How dare they lie to me?”
“Calm down.” Melody Fox walked towards the bed and said, “What exactly is going on with the Murphy family? You can hold him accountable after he recovers. The most important thing now is to cure your illness.”
“Are you really going to cure me?”
Melody Fox nodded and recounted Chairman Lou’s illness.
Chairman Lou’s eyes widened.
“Poisonous insect? Does this kind of thing actually exist? I thought malicious doctors were scary enough, but I didn’t expect there to be a poisonous insect… How is my son Lou Rui now? Has he been cured?”
“Hubby,” Madam Lou quickly said, “How can I lie to you? This miracle doctor really cured him. It’s just that his body is weak now and he needs to recuperate in bed, so he can’t be brought over for you to see.”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that the commotion downstairs just now sounded a little off to me.”
“Don’t think too much about it. If there’s anything wrong, go take a look yourself when you’re better.”
“Yeah.”
Chairman Lou nodded and looked at Melody Fox. “Please help me take a look at how to treat this illness.”
“Dr. Fox, please.”
Madam Lou quickly made a polite “please” gesture.
Melody Fox did not step forward and said, “It can’t be treated yet.”
Madam Lou was stunned for a moment and asked, “What… do you mean?”
Chairman Lou obviously misunderstood Melody Fox’s meaning. He looked like he understood and said to Madam Lou, “Hurry up and bring the check back. I’ll pay a portion of the consultation fees to this miracle doctor first.”
Chairmain Lou uttered. Although Chairman Lou was still polite, he looked at Melody Fox with an unknown sense of rejection. Melody Fox naturally caught it.
She stopped Mrs. Lou and explained unhurriedly, “I’ve said it before. Your illness has been poisoned, so it’s different from ordinary illnesses. You can’t treat it directly with medicine.”
Ruby also said, “Dad, Melody isn’t the kind of person who only cares about profit. Don’t misunderstand her.”
Chairman Lou suddenly understood and said in embarrassment, “I see.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Then may I ask what kind of patient treatment I can undergo?”
“You have to wait several days before the Gu worm acts up before you can treat it.”
Chairman Lou nodded and looked at Madam Lou. “What time is it?”
“It’s 11:30.”
As soon as he finished speaking, both of them felt that it was a little strange…
Logically speaking, it would usually flare up before eleven o’clock. What was going on today?
Melody Fox knew what they were wondering. She scanned the room and quickly found the reason.
She walked to the window and pushed it open. Then, she asked Mrs. Lou to remove the blanket from Chairman Lou’s body and asked her to turn off the air conditioner in the room.
Madam Lou quickly did as she was told. After taking the blanket away, she couldn’t help but ask, “What… do you mean?”
Melody Fox patiently explained, “The Soul Detachment Insect likes the cold and is afraid of heat. You closed the room window tightly, and Director Lou was covered with a thick blanket and had a hot air conditioner on, causing his body temperature to be higher than 40. As a result, the cold room where the Soul Detachment Insect acted up was delayed.”
Madam Lou suddenly widened her eyes and looked like she had come to a realization.
“No wonder Rui acts up earlier than his father every time. It’s because he’s more afraid of the heat, and his father is afraid of the cold, so one likes the room temperature to be lower, and the other likes the temperature to be higher… Moreover, the temperature was low tonight, so he specially turned on the heater. No wonder he hasn’t acted up at this time.”
As Madam Lou spoke, she couldn’t help but think of Lou Rui, who had passed away. Her eyes immediately turned red.
Afraid that Chairman Lou would notice something, she quickly turned her back to him.
Fortunately, Chairman Lou couldn’t care less about Mrs. Lou’s expression.
After the blanket was taken away, he was afraid that he would go crazy immediately and closed his eyes nervously. Although they would lose their minds after a few hours, when they recovered, those crazy memories would still remain in their minds. Therefore, he knew how terrifying the days were when his illness acted up.
The terrifying thing also felt very humiliating.
It was better not to have such crazy memories.
“Relax a little.” Melody Fox comforted the tense Chairman Lou. “I can guarantee that this will be your last relapse.” When Chairman Lou heard this, he slowly relaxed.
Seeing Chairman Lou had relaxed, Melody Fox turned to Madam Lou and said, “I need you to help me with a few things.”
“Go ahead!”
Melody Fox had purchased some necessities on the way here, but in addition to these, she also needed some special things.
“Go get some disinfectant. The entire room needs to be disinfected.”
“No problem!”
Madam Lou quickly ordered.
Melody Fox then said, “The Soul Detachment Insects are divided into child worms. Chairman Lou has child worms in his body. If you want to guide the child worms out of his brain, you need the power of the child worm.”
“B…-Bugworm? What should I do?”
“Find it.”
“…Huh? I’ve never heard of it. Where can I find it?”
“If the brood mother wants to work, it has to be very close to the child worm. So it must be somewhere in your house.” When Madam Lou and Ruby heard this, they felt a numbness on their backs.
“What does the worm look like? Can you be more specific?”
“The mother insect of the Soul Leaving Insect is very similar to a cocoon. It has a snow-white hard shell all over its body. It won’t be able to survive for long without water, so it should be somewhere with water.”
“Alright, I’ll bring people to look for it now!”
“Mom, you stay here and wait for Melody to make other arrangements. I’ll bring people to look for this thing,” Ruby volunteered.
“Well …”
Madam Lou indeed didn’t dare to leave Chairman Lou’s place. She was afraid that he would suddenly leave her like Lou Rui.
After hesitating for a moment, Madam Lou nodded and said, “Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
As she spoke, she clenched her fists and said, “Ruby, it was my fault in the past. In the future…”
“Mom, don’t treat me like an outsider. The most important thing now is to cure Dad. We’ll talk about other things later.”
To be fair, her mother-in-law was indeed not good to her.
However, although she hated her, she had never really used vicious methods to make things difficult for him. Although he did not treat her sincerely, she never harmed or deliberately made her suffer.
In all these years, the most outrageous thing he had done was to imprison her this afternoon.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Therefore, if the other party could change, it was not that she could not forgive her.
“Yes!” Mrs. Lou nodded vigorously.
Chapter 907
Ruby turned around and was about to leave when Melody Fox hurriedly stopped her.
“Ruby, after you find that bug, don’t catch it with your bare hands. It’s poisonous. After catching it with a tool, remember to put it in a cup and bring it over.”
“Alright, leave it to me.”
“Okay, be careful.”
After watching Ruby leave, Melody Fox instructed Madam Lou, “Get someone to find some rubber bands. The stronger they are, the better. Other than that, I also need a lighter.”
Madam Lou did not understand why Melody Fox wanted these strange things that did not seem to have anything to do with treatment. However, Melody Fox was her only hope now. She held back her curiosity and did not ask further. She directly instructed the servants to prepare them.
Soon, the servants brought what Melody Fox needed and disinfected the entire room.
Melody Fox threw a mask to Mrs. Lou and said, “Disinfect yourself and put on a mask.”
Mrs. Lou did not suspect anything and did as she was told.
In less than a few minutes, the Room was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.
Even Chang Jie, who was tied to a tree by Spencer, could smell the disinfectant coming from the room on the third floor.
From her angle, she could see a corner of the chairman’s room on the third floor. Seeing Melody Fox busy in the room, her emotions, which had just calmed down a little, became agitated again.
“Bitch! You took my husband… Mmph…”
Chang Jie was only halfway through her sentence when her mouth was blocked by a sock. She could not make any clear syllables.
The smell of stinky socks almost made Chang Jie vomit. Spencer took the opportunity to call the Taylor’s servant over. He asked for tape and stuck it firmly to Chang Jie. After confirming that she could not continue shouting, he shrugged and said, “I’m sorry, you shouted too suddenly. I could only use socks to cover your mouth first.”
Although it was an apology, there was no guilt in her eyes. Towards Miss Fox’s opposing side, he did not need to have any emotions. He only needed to do as Miss Fox instructed. Chang Jie gritted her teeth in hatred, but because her entire body was trapped on the tree trunk, the only thing she could do was glare at Spencer.
Meanwhile, Chairman Lou’s crazy voice suddenly came from upstairs.
“Ah!! Let go of me! I’m going to kill all of you! You’re all demons! Go to hell-“
Chang Jie raised her eyelids and looked up at the third floor again.
However, from where she was, she could only see the scene by the window. She could not see what Chairman Lou looked like on the bed.
However, it wasn’t like she hadn’t seen it before, so her mind automatically imagined Chairman Lou’s terrifying appearance.
Before tonight, she had secretly made a wish in her heart that her husband would recover and that Chairman Lou would not be able to turn the tables after this.
Because this way, the inheritance rights of the Taylor family would smoothly fall into her husband’s hands.
But now, she sincerely hoped that Chairman Lou could survive this because if Chairman Lou died, the Taylor family would belong to Mason Taylor alone.
As his sister-in-law, she would no longer have a foothold in the Taylor family.
However, when she thought about how the person who was treating Chairman Lou was Ruby’s friend, she suspected that the ugly woman would definitely not do her best to treat Chairman Lou.
Damn that ugly woman, damn Ruby.
Why was her husband the one who died? Why was Mason Taylor’s fine?
Why?!
Could it be that her previous guess was not wrong? This so-called poisonous worm had nothing to do with the Murphy family at all. Instead, it was Ruby, who did it?
If that were the case, wouldn’t Chairman Lou be dead for sure?
Tap, tap, tap…
Not far away, there was a flurry of footsteps.
Chang Jie subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ruby walking out of the villa with a group of people searching for something.
“There’s water at the flower bed too. Look carefully. Remember, it’s white.”
“Yes!”
As soon as Ruby gave the order, the servants hurriedly went to look for him.
Chang Jie narrowed her eyes and used her gaze to ask Ruby what she was doing. However, Ruby’s peripheral vision was swept by Chang Jie as she searched the courtyard seriously.
About ten minutes later, the servants came to report one by one.
“Second Young Mistress Ruby, there’s none at the flower bed.”
“Not on the second floor.”
“Not even on the third floor.”
“We’ve searched the living room and kitchen, but there’s nothing, Second Young Mistress Ruby.”
Beads of sweat appeared on Ruby’s forehead.
Melody was still waiting for her to bring the broodmother over. If they could not find the brood mother, the treatment could not begin. However, they had almost dug three feet into the ground but could not find the brood mother. What should they do?
Just as Ruby was about to ask everyone to search all the places again, a servant suddenly walked up hesitantly.
“Second Young Mistress Ruby, there’s something I don’t know if I should say…”
Ruby frowned and said, “It’s already late what else can’t be said? What is it? Speak!”
The servant glanced at Chang Jie, and Chang Jie immediately had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, in the next second, the servant said, “After Mrs. Swanson moved over, she turned the woodshed in the old residence into her storage room. We don’t have the key to the storage room, so we haven’t looked for it over there.” “What?”
Ruby’s expression instantly darkened as he looked at Chang Jie coldly.
“We agreed that Mason and I don’t want anything, but this house belongs to me and Mason, so this house belongs to us. What right do you have to modify my woodshed without my permission?”
Chang Jie could not make a clear sound and could only glare at her.
Ruby took a deep breath, walked up to Chang Jie in a few steps, and tore off the tape on her mouth.
Chang Jie gasped in pain, but she quickly laughed out loud and said, “This place belongs to you? Dream on! When Xiaonan was born, Mom adopted the house under her and Dad’s name. This is my daughter’s house, my house! Of course, I can change it however I want!” “You-” Ruby was furious.
She had always known that her mother-in-law was biased, but she did not expect her to be so biased.
Although the down payment for this house was paid by Mrs. Lou, she and Mason were the ones who paid for the rest of the renovation.
However, Madam Lou gave the house to Chang Jie’s daughter without a word. How could she remain calm?
She was not a saint.
Fortunately, Ruby still had her rationality. She knew that now was not the time to argue about this, so she tried her best to suppress her emotions and said, “We’ll talk about who owns the house in the future. Give me the key to the woodshed first!”
“Bah! Dream on!”
Many of the items in the storage room were treasures that she had collected. She did not want Ruby to see those treasures.
Ruby narrowed her eyes and said, “The Gu worms in Dad’s body are divided into broodmothers. The broodmothers are very likely to be hidden in your storage room. If you don’t want something to happen to Dad like Big Brother, tell me, where did you put the key?”
Chapter 908
“Huh!”
Chang Jie sneered and said, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child like Xiaonan? You just saw Lou Rui die and I have no one to rely on now. You deliberately acted to take the opportunity to snatch my treasure! Let me tell you, don’t even think about it!
Don’t think that I don’t know that you can’t wait for Dad to go with Lou Rui immediately so that your husband can inherit the Taylor family. You even said that it’s for Dad’s life? Ha, I don’t believe you!
Let me tell you, that door is specially crafted. It’s invulnerable to fire, water, and spears. If you dare to forcefully pry it open, it will automatically call the police. You can’t wait to explain to the police!
“I also want to tell them that you and Mason wanted to kill Lou Rui and Dad! The two of you can’t escape the law!”
“You-” Ruby gritted his teeth and ordered the servants, Go to her room and see if there’s a key.”
“Yes!”
The servants were about to look for the key when Melody Fox heard the commotion and poked his head out of the window on the third floor.
“Ruby, haven’t you found the queen insect yet?”
Ruby explained what had happened and said, “I suspect that the queen insect might be in her storage room. The temperature in the storage room is the temperature they like the most. Moreover, that place is locked. Ordinary people can’t enter at all. It’s the best place to hide the queen insect.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “Wait here. I’ll come down and open the door.”
“Okay,” Ruby replied. However, he was stunned for a moment and asked, “Huh? Open the door? How can you open it without a key?”
“Open the door? Hehe, none of you can open that door!” Melody Fox had already walked downstairs and did not hear Ruby’s questions or Chang Jie’s ridicule.
But Ruby’s question was quickly answered.
After Melody Fox came to the storage room door, she took out two silver needles and operated them on the high-precision keyhole.
She pressed her ear against the door and adjusted her movements according to the sound of the silver needle touching the lock.
Ruby widened her eyes in shock.
Melody was too amazing. She actually knew how to pick locks!
In fact, there was once an internationally renowned thief who fell ill and found his master to treat him. The reward his master offered was for that thief to teach her how to open all the locks in the world.
This was how she learned many skills.
Her master treated those people, and they taught her a skill to make a living.
Of course, Melody Fox could not be bothered to answer Ruby’s questions now. He held his breath and continued to unlock the door.
The storage room was also located in the courtyard. Chang Jie turned her head and could see the commotion at Melody Fox.
Seeing that Melody Fox was actually trying to open the lock with two silver needles, she sneered and mocked loudly,” Are you kidding me? Just that lock alone cost me seven figures. With just you guys, don’t even think about opening the door!”
However, it was as if the heavens were deliberately slapping her face. As Chang Jie finished speaking, Melody finally found the two points she was looking for.
She exerted force with her fingers and heard a click from the lock. The heavy door that was originally closed automatically opened!
“It’s open! It’s really open!”
Ruby was extremely excited. If she wasn’t pregnant, she would be so excited that she would jump out now.
She turned to look at Chang Jie and asked, “Now you know we’re not joking, right?”
Chang Jie’s expression was worse than if she had eaten a pile of feces.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she kept muttering,” Impossible, this is impossible…”
Spencer heard it and said proudly, “Nothing is impossible. Our Miss Fox is omnipotent.”
Otherwise, why would their husband like Miss Fox so much?
According to him, only Miss Fox was compatible with their husband in the world.
However, Chang Jie could not hear anything at all. Her mind was blank.
The treasures that she had spent countless efforts to collect were all inside. They were about to be snatched away by Ruby and the others!
“No! No!!! Don’t snatch my treasure!”
Chang Jie shouted.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have brought the treasures over when Lou Rui was sick.
However, when she thought that things would turn out this way, she was only worried that their baby would be stolen when they were not at home.
However, not long after, Melody Fox and Ruby, who had just entered, walked out.
A servant behind them was holding a small flower pot planted with copper coins.
The expression on Chang Jie’s face twisted for a moment.
Did they just go in… and take out a plant?
Could it be that they really did not enter for her treasure?
Did they really want to cure her father-in-law??
How was this possible…
How could they be so kind? Absolutely impossible!
However, Melody Fox and Ruby were only in a hurry to bring the queen insect upstairs. They did not even spare Chang Jie a glance and quickly disappeared from the backyard.
“Come back! Come back and explain!”
However, the only response to Chang Jie was Spencer’s voice.
“Be quiet! If you don’t be quiet, I’ll take off my other sock!”
The background in the backyard finally quietened down.
On the third floor.
Melody Fox looked at the queen insect through the transparent flower pot.
The queen insect was clearly living very well here. It was as big as a cicada and had a round stomach. It was still
swimming slowly in the water.
Madam Lou felt like vomiting after just one look.
She covered her right eye and asked, “Miss Divine Doctor, the queen insect has been found. Can we start the treatment now?”
Melody Fox looked at Chairman Lou, who was struggling to get up from the bed. He nodded and said, “You can start now. However, you’d better leave.”
“Why?” Madam Lou frowned slightly and said, “I want to stay and accompany him.”
Ruby knew Melody relatively well. Since she asked them to leave, there must be a reason for them to leave.
She asked on behalf of Mrs. Lou, “Melody, is there a problem?”
Melody said calmly, “There won’t be any problems. It’s just that the operation process might be a little bloody. Ordinary people might not be able to accept it. So…”
Ruby already had morning sickness. When he heard that, he hurriedly said, “Then I’ll go out and wait. If there’s anything you need my help with, call me when you need one.”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox nodded and asked Mrs. Lou, “What about you? Do you want to wait outside or stay?”
“I…-“
Madam Lou hesitated.
But when she thought about how Lou Rui left so suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said, “I want to stay! Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your treatment of my husband.”
“That may not be the case.”
As Melody Fox spoke, she finally sighed and said, “Since you insist, you can stay.”
Madam Lou quickly nodded. “Thank you.”
Melody Fox did not say anything else. After disinfecting, he unbuttoned Chairman Lou’s shirt and inserted silver needles into several acupuncture points on his body.
Soon, Chairman Lou’s stomach and brain were filled with silver needles, making him look like a hedgehog.
Madam Lou thought to herself, This isn’t that bloody.
Chapter 909
“Can it be cured with just a few injections?” Madam Lou couldn’t help but ask.
Melody Fox was wearing surgical gloves.
Hearing this, she smiled lightly and said, “If only Janet Murphy could be cured like this. If only acupuncture was needed, I wouldn’t need you and Ruby to avoid it.”
“Then…”
Just as Madam Lou was about to ask in detail, she saw Chairman Lou, who had been struggling to remove the silver needles, suddenly close his eyes and stop moving. Mrs. Lou’s heart was in her throat.
“Hubby!”
Seeing that Mrs. Lou was about to pounce on the bed, Melody Fox hurriedly went forward to stop her.
“Madam Lou, don’t misunderstand. He’s fine. It’s just that I used silver needles to seal some of his acupuncture points and blood vessels, causing him to enter a dormant state for the time being. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to help him remove the child worm of the Soul Leaving Worm in his previous state.”
“Is he… really alright?”
Melody Fox said helplessly, “If you don’t believe me, you can check his breathing. But I have to remind you that the heart meridian can’t be sealed for too long as it’s too prone to brain death. I advise you not to interfere with my treatment of Chairman Lou.”
Hearing this, no matter how worried Madam Lou was, she did not dare to disturb Melody Fox anymore.
Seeing that Mrs. Lou finally stopped disturbing her, Melody Fox continued what he was doing.
She raised one of Chairman Lou’s hands and made a small cut on it with a scalpel. Then, she took out the queen insect from the water. Under Madam Lou’s shocked gaze, she split the queen insect into two and dripped the green blood on Chairman Lou’s wound.
She was wearing gloves, so she was not afraid of the venom left behind by the queen insect corroding her skin.
As for Chairman Lou, his body had long been invaded by the child worm’s poison, so he did not care about a little more poison.
The green blood gradually enlarged and kept devouring the blood that seeped out of Chairman Lou’s wound.
In less than a minute, the green blood began to change color and turned into white worms.
It turned out that it was not the blood of the queen insect at all, but the larvae of the queen insect!
“This, this…”
Madam Lou was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
If such a disgusting scene appeared on television, he would be reported and taken off the shelves.
Madam Lou was afraid that she would scream, so she
quickly covered her mouth with force. Only then did she not cry out in fear.
However, Melody Fox’s expression did not change the entire time.
She waited for the white bugs to grow for a few hours. She threw the excess bugs into the basin and left two on a tray beside the bed.
After she wiped the green queen insect’s blood off the two insects, she raised Chairman Lou’s hand again and cut a larger wound on his palm than before.
Blood instantly seeped out from his palm.
Seeing this, Melody Fox placed the two bugs in his palm without hesitation.
When the insect saw the blood, it immediately perked up and quickly entered Chairman Lou’s blood vessel through the wound on his palm.
The insects had a certain thickness, so after entering the body of the chairman, people could determine their location with their naked eyes.
After circling the blood vessels near their palms a few times, they seemed to have confirmed their target and crawled up their arms. Their target seemed to be Chairman Lou’s brain!
Madam Lou’s pupils shrunk to a point due to shock.
She did not care if she would disturb Melody Fox anymore. She grabbed Melody Fox and questioned, “Miss Fox, didn’t you want to take out the child worms? Why did you put two in?”
What Melody Fox had to do now was to wait, so there was not enough time to answer Mrs. Lou’s question.
As she stared at the two larvae that she had put in, she explained, “The child worms are divided into male and female. The child worms in Chairman Lou’s body are male worms, and the two I chose to put in are female worms. The female worms feed on human blood and male worms…”
Madam Lou understood and asked in disbelief, “Are you going to fight fire with fire and eat the child worms in his brain?”
“That’s right. With the death of the queen insect, these insects naturally have to choose a new queen insect and become the new queen insect. They have to eat male insects to strengthen themselves…”
Melody Fox paused for a moment. When he saw that the female worms were about to reach Chairman Lou’s brain, he immediately fell silent.
As Melody Fox fell silent, Mrs. Lou subconsciously held her breath nervously.
After about ten seconds, Chairman Lou suddenly shook violently.
Mrs. Lou was shocked. She thought that it had failed, but in the next second, she heard Melody Fox say happily, “It worked!”
Madam Lou took a closer look and saw that there were two bug-shaped bumps on her neck. They were the two female worms that Melody Fox had put in. They were obviously bigger than before. The two worms were slowly crawling along the blood vessels to her chest.
“This is…”
“They want to enter the heart. We can’t let them in!” Melody Fox turned around and ordered Madam Lou, “Go, quickly bring the ice over!”
Ruby had been searching for the queen insect for hours. Melody Fox had already asked Madam Lou to make preparations.
Therefore, Madam Lou quickly came forward with a basin of ice.
Melody Fox grabbed a handful of ice and placed it between Chairman Lou’s shoulder blades.
The two insects seemed to feel the coldness of the ice and slowly crawled towards his shoulder blades.
Melody Fox aimed and used the rubber band that they had prepared to tie Chairman Lou’s chest and neck to ensure that the insects would not crawl back to his brain or heart. Then, he picked up the scalpel and cut off Chairman Lou’s flesh.
Soon, a worm that had already become similar to the queen insect was exposed in the air.
Melody Fox quickly grabbed the worm and threw it into the basin. Then, he picked up the scalpel and cut at the place where the remaining worm was…
Blood almost dyed the bedsheet red. Fortunately, the second worm was successfully taken out.
As the two worms came into contact with the air, it became longer and longer. Their skin and flesh had already become no different from that of the queen insect. They looked like two different species from the larva. They were more like dyed white cicadas.
Madam Lou raised her foot and was about to step on the bugs in the two basins when she quickly pulled her back. Madam Lou looked at her in confusion and asked, “Why should we keep these scourge if we don’t stomp them to death?”
Melody Fox patiently explained, “This is a good herb. It would be a pity to stomp it to death.”
As she spoke, she squatted down and took out a small bottle. She placed the two worms that had already grown hard shells into the small bottle.
The corners of Mrs. Lou’s mouth twitched. She said with a complicated expression, “Miss Fox, you’re really… really not an ordinary person.”
“Thank you.” Melody Fox took it that Mrs. Lou was praising her.
She changed into a pair of gloves and performed hemostasis and bandages on Chairman Lou. Then, she removed the silver needles from Chairman Lou one by one.
The second the last silver needle was removed, Chairman Lou suddenly opened his eyes.
Chapter 910
At this moment, Madam Lou was very close to Chairman Lou.
Seeing that Chairman Lou had suddenly woken up, she subconsciously took a step back in fear.
She didn’t forget that Lou Rui almost bit off Chang Jie’s finger when he had a relapse.
At this distance, it was very easy for Chairman Lou to bite her.
However, Madam Lou quickly noticed that the whites of Chairman Lou’s eyes were no longer as red as before, and his eyes were not as ferocious. On the contrary, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
This confusion made people seem harmless and had nothing to do with the word “madness”.
Madam Lou was stunned for a moment. From a distance, she boldly waved her hand in front of Chairman Lou’s eyes. “Husband?”
Chairman Lou looked up at her, and his gaze slowly became clear.
“Did I just fall asleep? What time is it now?”
Madam Lou’s eyes widened. She realized that the chairman. of this restaurant should still be in a crazy state. Now that he could suddenly speak so clearly, it was obvious that he had been cured.
She instantly cried tears of joy and quickly went forward to hug Chairman Lou.
“Hubby! That’s great, that’s great…”
Although Chairman Lou did not know what had happened to the unconscious Mr. Fox, from Mrs. Lou’s reaction, he knew that his treatment should have been successful.
The couple almost hugged each other and cried.
Ruby heard the commotion inside and reached out to push open the door.
When she saw the couple hugging and crying, she was surprised for a moment. She looked at Melody Fox in surprise and asked, “Is he cured?”
The couple slowly calmed down. They held back their cries and looked at Melody Fox.
Melody Fox met their gazes and nodded. “The Gu worms in his body have all been removed. He won’t lose control like before.”
Chairman Lou instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Even the pain from the cuts on his body became less obvious. Madam Lou said with red eyes, “Miss Fox, it’s all thanks to you. Our entire family will remember your kindness!” “Where’s the cheque? Hurry up and get the cheque…” Chairman Lou quickly said, “We have nothing to repay you with, so we can only give you some consultation fees first. In the future, if you need our help, we’ll follow you even if we have to climb a mountain of knives!”
“There’s no hurry.”
Melody Fox stopped Mrs. Lou, who was about to take the check, and said, “I’m not done yet.”
Mrs. Lou’s heart tightened.
“Is there anything that hasn’t been cured?”
Melody Fox said, “I told you before that the Soul Detachment Insect is poisonous. Although the Soul Detachment Insect has been removed, there is still the poison of the Soul Detachment Insect in his body.”
“What should we do?”
“There’s no need to be too anxious. I’ll write a prescription. You’ll fry two pastes every morning and night for him to drink. After drinking for a week, the remaining poison will naturally be discharged. However, during this period, it’s best for you to find a hospital to stay because there are too many wounds on his body. It’s easy for his wounds to inflame and cause a fever.”
Mrs. Lou nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, I understand. I’ll bring him to the hospital at dawn.”
“Mm. Then I’ll go write a prescription for him now.
Remember, you have to drink it for a week before the poison can be expelled.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t miss a single meal.”
As Madam Lou was talking, Chairman Lou suddenly said, ” Since I’m going to be hospitalized, don’t arrange for a single ward this time. Go and get a double ward. I’ll stay in the same room as Rui so that, you won’t have to go back and forth.”
“Ah-Rui…”
Mrs. Lou didn’t know what to say.
As an outsider, Melody Fox said, “You guys chat. I’ll go outside and write the prescription. Ruby, help me find a pen and paper.”
“Okay.”
Ruby did not want to see Chairman Lou break down when he found out that he was going to send his son off. She quickly followed Melody Fox out of the room.
Not long after the two of them walked out, they heard a suppressed cry coming from inside.
Ruby sighed and said, “If they were willing to believe you from the beginning, Big Brother wouldn’t have left at such a young age. Now, he can probably come up to see Dad.”
Melody Fox shrugged and said, “Everything is fated. This is his fate. He is destined to have a calamity that he can’t avoid. However, this also confirms one thing.”
“What?”
“You have to find the right person to get married to. Otherwise, you might not only lose your happiness for the rest of your life but also your life.”
These words were applicable to Lou Rui and also to her.
Ruby felt that Melody Fox’s words implied something, but she did not think too much about it. She followed Melody Fox’s words and said, “My sister-in-law is still angry, so she can only hate you and me. When she calms down and thinks everything through, she will probably break down even more than now.”
Melody Fox did not care how devastated Chang Jie would be. In the end, everyone had their own fate. This was also caused by Chang Jie herself. She could not blame anyone. She lowered her head to carefully write down the prescription on the paper and handed it to Ruby. Then, she reminded her in a low voice, “Remember to tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law that Lou Rui’s body can’t be left for too long. He must be cremated as soon as possible. Otherwise, when his body is completely hard, the Soul Leaving Insect in his body will come out. No one knows where the Soul Leaving Insect will appear when that happens.” Ruby felt a chill down her spine. She immediately nodded and said, “I’ll tell Mom immediately.”
Melody Fox patted Ruby’s shoulder and comforted her. “There’s no need to be so nervous. It won’t crawl out of his body for the time being. However, it’s really hard to say if it’s more than 16 hours.”
Ruby nodded vigorously. “I’ll remember.”
Coincidentally, Mrs. Lou walked out with red eyes. She had clearly just cried, but her excessive sadness made her look like she had aged a few years in just ten minutes. “Mom, you have to take care of yourself,” Ruby could not help but say.
Mrs. Lou tried her best to smile and said to Melody Fox, ” Miss Fox, my husband wants to talk to you alone.”
“Yes,” Melody Fox replied. “Coincidentally, I also have something to tell Chairman Lou alone.”
She walked into the room. There was a smell of blood mixed with disinfectant in the room, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Melody Fox said, “This room should be temporarily unoccupied. Remember to sleep in another room later.”
“Thank you, Miss Fox…”
Chairman Lou struggled to sit up and thank her.
Melody Fox quickly pressed him back down.
“You’re welcome. Just lie down and talk to me.”
Chairman Lou nodded and said, “I already know about Lou Rui’s matter. I didn’t expect us to have the same illness. The one who survived is actually an old man like me who’s already half buried…”
“My condolences.”
Apart from this condolence, Melody Fox could not say anything else.
To her, Lou Rui was just a stranger she had met for the first time.
Fortunately, Chairman Lou was stronger than Mrs. Lou. He did not mention how sad he was anymore and became serious.
Chapter 911
Melody Fox knew that Chairman Lou was going to get down to business.
She pulled up a chair and sat upright, waiting seriously.
After a moment of silence, Chairman Lou said, “Miss Fox, I heard from my wife, who has yet to enter the house, you told her that the person sent by the Murphy family is a liar?”
Melody Fox nodded. “That’s right.”
Chairman Lou couldn’t help but look at her deeply.
“I wonder who you are…?”
Melody Fox introduced himself with a title that Director Lou could understand. “My surname is Fox Miao, and my husband’s name is Ken Swanson.”
Chairman Lou’s eyes instantly widened.
“How… how is this possible?”
Melody Fox shrugged and smiled. “Many people don’t believe it. They think that with my looks, I’m not worthy of Ken Swanson, right?”
Chairman Lou covered his nose and coughed awkwardly. Melody Fox continued, “However, I don’t think you’re the kind of person who judges a book by its cover. Besides, I don’t have to lie to you. There’s no point in telling a lie that will be exposed immediately, right?”
Chairman Lou quickly figured it out.
He owed Melody Fox a huge favor. If Melody Fox wanted anything from him, he could have just asked. There was no need to lie.
After figuring this out, the chairman of the Lou Corporation quickly figured out the other things.
Ordinary people did not know about the grudge between the Murphy family and the Quant family, but how could they, who were in the same circle, not know?
Janet Murphy almost killed Sid Quant, and as Ken Swanson was Sid Quant’s good brother, the relationship between the Jian and Li families also fell to a freezing point.
As Melody Fox’s wife, she would naturally keep an eye on the Murphy family. It was not strange for her to know that the person the Murphy family sent was a liar.
Melody Fox observed Chairman Lou’s expression and knew that he had thought it through. Hence, she directly mentioned the disagreement between the Murphy family’s main family and Jian Huan’s branch.
Chairman Lou was enlightened.
He said angrily, “No wonder the Murphy family’s main family once swore to me that they would definitely be able to cure my illness. In the end, they took the Green Velvet medicine, but they sent a charlatan over and even killed my son!”
At the mention of the dead Lou Rui, Chairman Lou gritted his teeth in hatred.
Melody Fox reminded Director Lou.
“Lou Rui was killed by Jian Huan’s family, but the culprit is still the Murphy family’s main family. Ordinary people can’t get the Soul Leaving Insects in your body.”
Chairman Lou suddenly looked up and asked, “Miss Fox, do you have evidence that they poisoned me? If you do, I’ll sue them immediately!”
Melody Fox shook his head gently and said, “I only found out today that you guys were poisoned. There’s no way to find the evidence. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you want to avenge Lou Rui?”
Of course, he wanted to!
Not to mention Lou Rui, he was almost emptied by the Soul Leaving Insect.
He wished he could kill everyone in the Murphy family to vent his anger.
Chairman Lou was not stupid. He quickly understood what Melody Fox meant by asking this question.
With the Taylor family’s ability, it was very difficult to pull the Murphy family to hell.
However, with the addition of Ken Swanson, it was different.
If they wanted Ken Swanson to avenge them, they would have to submit to Ken Swanson.
Once they submitted to Ken Swanson, it would be impossible for 464,677,5905 to stay out of this storm.
Chairman Lou was in a dilemma.
After more than ten minutes, Chairman Lou suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “Miss Fox, please go back and tell Mr. Swanson that you saved my life. From now on, we the Taylor family will be your and his right-hand man. As long as he says a word, we will immediately do as he says!”
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “It’s so easy to deal with smart people. Director Lou, I hope we each get what we want and have a happy cooperation.”
“Happy working with you!”
Melody Fox stood up from her chair and said, “Then rest well. Before you fully recover, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Chairman Lou nodded and asked, “Then that liar…”
“I told you, you don’t have to worry about this. Just take care of your health. I’ll arrange everything else.”
Seeing that Melody Fox had his own plans, Chairman Lou was completely relieved.
“Good!”
Outside the villa, the tied-up Daoist priest was forced to kneel on the ground.
His mouth was stuffed with a rag. When he saw Melody Fox come out, his eyes were filled with fear.
Melody Fox approached the Daoist priest step by step expressionlessly.
“How much did the Murphy family pay you to come here and kill people?”
“Wuwuwu…”
He wanted to explain and beg for mercy, but he could only make muffled sounds.
God knew how much he regretted it!
If he had known that someone would die, how could he have dared to poison someone for money?
He really thought that he was just here to put on a show.
“Please, I’m really…”
The fake Monk tried to explain, but the words were still slurred.
The fake Daoist priest was so anxious that he almost cried.
Melody Fox did not care what the fake Daoist was saying at all. She walked half a meter away from the fake Daoist and stopped.
After the fake Daoist priest’s mentality had completely collapsed and he cried in despair, she slowly said, “I can let you go, but you have to help me do one thing. After the matter is done, not only will you be able to get the money you originally could get, but you won’t be held accountable. How about that?”
Monk nodded frantically.
“Very well.”
Melody Fox pulled out the rag from the fake Daoist priest’s mouth and threw a spelling of pills into the Daoist priest’s hand. “Listen carefully. After you walk out of the door, take this and report back. You have to pretend that everything is going very smoothly and take the money they promised you.”
Monk’s eyes widened in confusion.
“That’s… that’s it?”
“That’s all.”
It took Daoist a long time to realize that the other party was too lazy to deal with him, a puppet but wanted to fish out the big fish behind him.
But as long as he was not implicated, he was willing to do anything.
“Don’t worry, I’ll pretend that nothing happened!”
“You’re free to go. But let me warn you, don’t even think about playing mind games with me. I’ll make sure you keep an eye on you until you’ve completed your mission.”
The fake Daoist priest quickly swore, “Don’t worry, I won’t play mind games with you!”
“Get lost!”
Melody Fox waved his hand, signaling Spencer to send someone to keep an eye on the fake monk.
Soon, the fake Daoist priest walked out of the door with ease. Just in case, Melody Fox asked Mrs. Lou to send him off personally.
It was not until the fake Daoist priest left in the car that Mrs. Lou turned around and asked, “Miss Fox, what are you planning? Why did you let go of this witness? With him, we can directly sue the Murphy family in court.”
Melody Fox shook her head gently and said, “The real enemy is not Jian Huan’s family. The only one who used a Daoist priest to sue them was Jian Huan’s branch. The one who really poisoned your son and Chairman Lou is the Murphy family’s main family. So you can rest assured that I have my own arrangements for doing this. They will definitely not be able to escape punishment.”
Chapter 912
“But we’re just going to let them go like this…”
Melody Fox said, “Even if the fake Daoist priest is released, he’s only temporarily freed. He’s a good card for us. It’s just that he’s not a player yet.”
“Mom.” Ruby also said, “Just believe in Melody! Didn’t Dad just ask you to go over and say that Melody will be in charge of this matter?”
Mrs. Lou recalled what Chairman Lou had said. He had indeed said that Melody Fox would be in charge.
However, it was not that she did not believe Melody Fox, but she felt that it was a pity to let him go just like that.
However, after knowing that Melody Fox had other plans, he finally stopped insisting on keeping the Daoist priest. “I’m old and indeed not as smart as you young people. Since you have your own ideas, we’ll do as you say.”
Melody Fox grunted and said, “Thank you for your cooperation.”
Hearing the word “cooperate”, Mrs. Lou’s eyes reddened again.
How good would it be if she had cooperated with Melody Fox from the start?
Her eldest son would not leave her just like that.
Madam Lou was heartbroken, but she remembered another important matter and said, “Miss Fox, thank you for saving my husband’s life. We have nothing to repay you with. After thinking about it, it seems insincere to only give money. So…”
As Mrs. Lou spoke, she turned her head and called for the servants. “Bring the things over.”
The servant immediately walked over with a sandalwood box and handed it to Melody Fox with both hands.
“This is?” Melody Fox asked in confusion.
Madam Lou took the box for her and slowly opened it. The Green Velvet pills inside were immediately revealed.
Melody Fox’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You’re giving it to me?”
Ruby also asked in surprise, “Didn’t the last existing Green Velvet sell to the Murphy family people?”
Madam Lou shook her head and explained, “This Green Velvet is your father-in-law’s personal collection. It’s the most perfect one your father-in-law has refined so far. I originally planned to give this Green Velvet to Mason as a gift after his identity as the successor was confirmed. It would be considered as passing down your father’s mantle. I just didn’t expect… such a thing to happen to our family.”
Ruby lowered her eyes and said, “Mom, I told Mason that as long as you don’t interfere in our marriage, we won’t fight for the position of heir. I want to say that these words are still valid until now. Although Big Brother has left, Little Nan is still…”
“Let’s not talk about this for now. Your father-in-law has his own decision on this matter.”
As Mrs. Lou spoke, she looked at Melody Fox and said, Miss Fox, we know that you participated in tonight’s auction for Green Velvet. Manqing even begged us several times for this… So now, we plan to give this Green Velvet to you as a consultation fee. Please don’t mind.”
Melody Fox’s eyes were filled with surprise.
Although she did not know the formula and specific refining method of Green Velvet, she could tell from the color and smell that this was the top grade of all Green Velvet.
“Of course not. Thank you for this Green Velvet. I will definitely use it preciously.”
Madam Lou nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to use Green Velvet yourself? I wonder what illness you have… You need Green Velvet?”
She knew that Green Velvet was also one of the effective treatment drugs.
Melody Fox knew that Mrs. Lou might have misunderstood.
She smiled bitterly and explained, “Do you see the red spots and sores on my face?”
“…I see it.”
“This is caused by poisoning. And Green Velvet is one of the important herbs solutions to this poison.”
Madam Lou instantly understood.
She scratched her head in embarrassment and said, “Sorry, I was just curious.”
“It’s fine.” Melody Fox immediately asked Madam Lou, “May I ask if the supplementary potion…”
Before Mrs. Lou could say anything, the servant handed her a bottle of potion syrup.
“The method of consumption is already pasted on the medicine bottle. You’re a doctor. You should know better than me about dosages.”
Melody Fox nodded.
“Thank you, Madam Lou. It is already very late. I won’t disturb you anymore today. If you need me for anything, ask Ruby to contact me.”
After Melody Fox thanked them and left, Ruby immediately told Mrs. Lou about cremating the corpse. Mrs. Lou’s eyes immediately turned red again.
“Let’s do as you say. If the person dies, there’s nothing left, but we living people have to continue… contact the funeral parlor to pick him up.”
Ruby reminded her in a low voice, “Shouldn’t we tell Sister-in-law?”
“We’ll do as you say.
Mrs. Lou looked extremely tired. She massaged her temples and entered the villa.
Ruby knew that Mrs. Lou was physically and mentally exhausted today, so she did not force her to tell Chang Jie personally. He could only walk to the backyard herself.
However, she could foresee that Chang Jie would definitely not give her a good look.
Ruby did some mental preparation before stepping onto the ground in the backyard.
As Melody Fox left, the person guarding Chang Jie changed from Spencer to the Taylor family’s bodyguard.
When the bodyguard saw Ruby enter, she immediately went forward and bowed. “Hello, Second Young Mistress Ruby.”
Ruby nodded and did not look at Chang Jie. Instead, she stared at the flower bed not far away and directly explained her intentions.
“Big Brother’s body must be cremated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Gu in his body will leave his body and find the next host. It won’t be a big deal when he reaches that extent, so he will be cremated tonight.
Moreover, this matter had to be carried out without the Murphy family’s knowledge. In other words, his funeral might not be able to be held.
‘Right, where’s Xiaonan been staying recently?’
“If you want, you can ask her to come back and see her father one last time.”
Ruby said everything in one go, but the only response she received was silence. There were no crazy questions like she had expected.
Ruby could not help but look at Chang Jie in confusion.
Chang Jie, who was tied to the tree, had her eyes closed as if she was asleep.
“Sister-in-law?”
Ruby was about to wake Chang Jie up when she suddenly said with her eyes closed, “Let’s do that.”
“…?” So Chang Jie wasn’t asleep?
Ruby took a step forward. With the faint light in the courtyard, he saw that Chang Jie’s face was covered in tears.
She instantly understood that Chang Jie had broken away from her anger and entered a world of grief and self-blame. When Chang Jie was tied up at first, every word she said was scolding her. This was because Chang Jie, who was tied up at the tree, had yet to accept the fact that Lou Rui had passed away. Therefore, she was in a state of irrational anger.
When she slowly calmed down, she would realize that Lou Rui’s death had a lot to do with her as his wife.
In fact, Lou Rui was almost indirectly killed by her.
Once she realized this, Chang Jie would completely calm down and fall into her current sorrow and self-blame.
Ruby sighed and asked, “What about Xiaonan?” “Xiaonan is still young. She doesn’t know what death is… Let her think that her father is just on a business trip.
Anyway, Lou Rui, that bastard, rarely returns to Insterimond…
Chapter 913
As Chang Jie spoke, she could not stop her tears from flowing again.
Ruby also had a heavy heart.
Although she didn’t have a good relationship with Lou Rui, they were still her husband’s biological brother.
Such a living person was suddenly gone. She really could not be happy.
After a moment of silence, Ruby looked at the bodyguard and said, “Mrs. Taylor has woken up. Put her down quickly and help her to rest inside.”
“Yes!”
When Chang Jie heard this, she looked up at Ruby. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll go crazy and kill you?”
Ruby shook her head.
“I’m afraid, but I still believe that although you don’t like me, you don’t hate me to the extent that you want to die with me. Besides, you have Xiaonan.”
Chang Jie gritted her teeth and said, “Ruby, don’t think that you’re smart! Don’t think that I can be a good sister-in-law with you just because you’re like this. Let me tell you, even if Lou Rui dies, I still have Xiaonan. Xiaonan also has the right to inherit!”
Ruby smiled faintly and said, “As long as you nurture Xiaonan well, I guarantee that Mason and I will not snatch the inheritance from a child like her.”
With that, Ruby turned around and left without waiting for Chang Jie’s reaction.
She and Mason had not worked hard in Silverlake for nothing.
In addition to the banking accident at Silverlake, they also opened their own investment company.
If the Taylor family had really kicked them out one day, their current quality of life would still not be affected at all.
Therefore, to her, the inheritance rights of Mason did not matter to anyone. As long as she and Mason were forever in love and the child in her stomach could grow up healthily, she would not ask for anything else.
Humans, as long as they knew how to write the word’ satisfied’, would not fall into endless greed.
Meanwhile in the Murphy family…
Jian Huan was restless in the living room and kept pacing back and forth in the empty space in the middle of the living room.
Mrs. Jian pressed her temples in frustration. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and stood up to block Jian Huan. Stop spinning around. My head is dizzy from your spinning!” Jian Huan raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Jian coldly. “It’s all because of your and Dad’s good idea! You actually asked a martial arts practitioner to pretend to be a doctor to treat Chairman Lou Taylor and his son… How did you come up with such a stupid idea!”
Mrs. Jian said unhappily, “Do you have any other good ideas? If you do, why didn’t you come over earlier and tell us?”
Jian Huan was furious.
“I was delayed by that lunatic Ming Haotian for some time. By the time I got home, that fake Daoist priest had already entered the room. What do you want me to do? Run in and pull that fake Daoist priest out?”
“Enough! Stop talking!”
Father Jian slammed the table and stood up. “The plan has already been implemented. What’s the point of arguing. about this now? Besides, when the parasite in his body acts up, it’s like being possessed. What’s wrong with me and your mother sending a charlatan over? Anyway, they’ll sleep a little longer after drinking the tranquilizer. There won’t be any side effects. This difference is enough for you to get the supplement and use the Green Velvet medicine.
“That’s right!” Mrs. Jian pursed her lips and said, “We’ve put
in so much effort to cure your illness, haven’t we? The main family doesn’t care about you anymore. What can we do? We can only use this unorthodox method to trick the supplement over.”
Jian Huan said with an ugly expression, “But have you thought about it? When Taylor’s father and son relapse the next day, they will come knocking on our door!” Father Jian frowned and said, “We’ve thought about this too. Since the main family is heartless, don’t blame us for being unjust. When the Taylor family people come looking for us, we’ll push all the blame to the main family.”
“You guys are really… extremely stupid! The Taylor family can’t deal with the main family, they don’t have the ability, but it’s more than enough to deal with us!”
“Then tell me, what should we do now?”
“If I knew what to do, would I still be so anxious to walk around the living room for the entire night?”
“Then that’s it. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. I don’t believe that the Taylor family really dares to do anything to us.”
Jian Huan massaged her throbbing temples. She was almost angered to death by these parents with worrying IQs.
If it weren’t for the fact that their goal was also to treat her illness, she really wanted to leave and not care about their lives.
‘What do I do?’
What should he do?!
Jian Huan suddenly looked up.
“By the way, Cousin!”
If she begged Janet Murphy, things might turn around.
As long as the people of the main family changed their minds and did not abandon their branch, there would be room for negotiation.
If the main family could send someone who knew how to treat Gu worms to visit the Taylor family again, the Taylor family should not be calculative.
Jian Huan looked at the number displayed on her phone. Seeing that it was already midnight, she could only suppress the urge to call Janet Murphy.
If she called this late, Jane might not be happy about being woken up. She’d better call tomorrow.
Just as she was thinking, a servant ran in to report.
“Sir, Madam, Miss, she’s back.”
When the three of them heard this, they said almost in unison, “Call him in!”
Soon, the servant went out to bring the Daoist priest in. Mrs. Jian was the first to ask, “How’s it going?”
The fake Daoist priest smiled and handed over the “auxiliary potion” in his hand. “Everything went smoothly. You’ve gotten what you wanted.”
Jian Huan took three steps forward and took the
supplement from the Daoist priest’s hand. His eyes were filled with surprise.
Although she felt that her parents’ plan was very stupid, she still hoped that it would succeed.
And now, the plan had actually succeeded!
How could she not be surprised?
If the Taylor family really refused to let go of this branch of their family, since she had already obtained the item, at most, she would just be a completely evil person and not care about the life and death of her family.
In any case, her parents’ love for her since she was young could not be called love.
How could such parents love their daughter so much if they allowed their daughter to sell her body for the master’s family?
She had seen through this since she could remember! The reason why they spent so much effort to get the supplement potion for her now was because they were afraid that after being abandoned by the main family, their family assets would be squandered not long after. Therefore, they wanted to keep her for their use.
In the end, it was because they felt that she was still useful after she was cured.
Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk of offending the Taylor family to care about her life and death.
Thinking of this, Jian Huan tightened her grip on the supplement in her hand. She looked at the fake Daoist priest and asked, “Did the Taylor family people suspect you?”
The fake Daoist priest was very nervous. Fortunately, his face was still tense. He said methodically, “Although the madam of that family didn’t believe me at first, that Lou Mrs. Swanson trusted me very much. After the two of them chatted for a while, she asked me to treat them. When they saw that they quickly calmed down after drinking my ‘holy water’, all of them believed me without a doubt.”
Chapter 914
The fake Monk felt his heart race as he finished.
There was no other reason because Jian Huan’s eyes were fixed on him like an eagle’s. It was as if she could see into his heart from his eyes.
The Daoist priest was afraid that he would be noticed.
He gritted his teeth and revealed an extremely greedy expression as he said, “I did everything according to your instructions. I’ve also gotten the things back for you… Can you give me compensation now?”
Jian Huan originally wanted to carefully investigate whether the Daoist priest’s words were true or not, but when he saw the greedy expression on the other party’s face, he did not even want to look at him in disgust.
“Give him money! Tell him to get lost! Get as far away as possible!”
Mrs. Jian was prepared. She took out the cheque and plane ticket that she had prepared in advance and handed them to Monk.
“I’ve already bought you a plane tomorrow morning. You can stay outside the province for the next two years. This bit of money is enough for you to spend for several lifetimes.”
The Daoist accepted the gifts and thanked him profusely. Finally, under Jian Huan’s impatient urging, he left gratefully. As soon as the Daoist left, Jian Huan took the supplement and walked out.
Mrs. Jian quickly chased after him.
“Xiao Huan, where are you going? Have you not forgiven Mom?”
Jian Huan sneered. She knew that her mother was afraid that she would leave them alone, so she hurriedly chased after her.
She said calmly, “I recognize beds. It’s better to go home and sleep. Don’t worry, if the Taylor family comes looking for me, I definitely won’t ignore your lives.”
Mrs. Jian smiled awkwardly and held her hand. “My good daughter, of course, I know that you won’t leave us alone. It’s just that our family should live together.”
Jian Huan was a little annoyed, but she still smiled and said, “But, Mom, I really recognize the bed. I can’t sleep here. Don’t worry, I’ll come over to accompany you when I wake up tomorrow, okay?”
“Well …”
“Don’t think too much about it. I was born from your womb. How could I lie to you?”
With that, Mrs. Jian let go of Jian Huan’s hand.
However, she did not forget to remind him, “Remember to come early tomorrow. Your father and I plan to bring you to see the main family tomorrow.”
Jian Huan’s heart turned even colder.
She knew that the person they would bring her to meet tomorrow would definitely be a man.
No wonder the two of them dared to send a liar to the Taylor family. It turned out that they had already thought of a way out.
Jian Huan hid the indifference in her eyes and smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll come over when I wake up. I’ll go back first. It’s too late. I’m really tired.”
Mrs. Jian nodded and watched as Jian Huan drove away. She only returned home after the car had completely disappeared.
When she returned to their room, Mr. Jian had already laid down and was ready to sleep.
She frowned and pushed her husband. “I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with Xiao Huan.”
Mr. Jian yawned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I keep feeling that after the auction, the way she looked at me made me feel a chill down my spine… Hubby, do you think this girl really did something like burning bridges after crossing them?”
Mr. Jian turned around and said, “That’s impossible. She’s a girl and she’s sick. Without our family, how can she marry into a good family? Don’t worry. Her only way out is us. It’s impossible for her to ignore us. When she coaxes the people from the main family tomorrow, we won’t have to be on tenterhooks like today.”
“But… even so, I still feel that she’s not as…”
“Alright, don’t think too much. You gave birth to her, so how can she not care about your life? Go to sleep! I still have to prepare a gift for that person tomorrow morning.”
Not long after, Mr. Jian started snoring.
Mrs. Jian had no choice but to lie down and sleep.
Meanwhile, in Insterimond police stations…
Ming Haotian still felt like he was dreaming when he walked out of the police station.
He actually came out just like that…
The person who came to bail him out was actually the person he least expected, Ming Yiheng.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t Ming Yiheng be the person who wanted him to spend the rest of his life in prison? Why was he here to bail him out?
“You…”
Ming Haotian opened his mouth, but no one knew how to break the silence.
It was not until they reached the parking lot opposite the police station that Ming Hao finally squeezed out two words. “Thank you…”
“You don’t have to.”
Ming Yiheng’s expression was indifferent. No emotions could be seen.
Ming Haotian gritted his teeth. In the end, he couldn’t help but pull on Ming Yiheng’s sleeve and ask, “Why did you bail me out? Shouldn’t you be happy that I can’t come out?” When Ming Yiheng heard this, he looked up at Ming Haotian.
“I know you have a lot of questions for me, but they’re not for me to answer. Get in the car. You’ll know everything you want to know when we get to our destination.”
“What do you mean?”
However, Ming Yiheng ignored him and opened the door of a car in front of him.
Minghao Tian felt that this MPV looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it before.
It was not until he got into the car and saw Ken Swanson sitting in the back row that he suddenly remembered: This is Ken Swanson’s car!
“Ken, Ken…? Why are you here?”
But Ming Haotian quickly reacted. His case was no small matter. If it wasn’t for Ken Swanson, it would have been impossible for Ming Yiheng to bring him out.
Ken Swanson met Minghao Tian’s shocked gaze expressionlessly.
He wanted to mock him, but when he saw Minghao Tian’s face that was injured like a pig’s head, he swallowed his words.
“You’ll find out later.”
“…Why are you waiting again? What on earth…”
“Let’s go!”
Ken Swanson directly ordered the driver to drive, interrupting Minghao Tian.
“Brother Ken, I…”
Ken Swanson interrupted Ming Haotian again. “Uncle, you talk too much. Save your saliva and save it for later.”
Ming Haotian awkwardly shut his mouth.
Although he was Ken Swanson’s uncle, in terms of age, achievements, and social status, he was just a younger brother to Ken Swanson.
Because the two of them had lived together for a while, he was used to calling Ken Swanson “Brother Ken”.
However, in his impression, Ken Swanson rarely called him uncle. Every time he called him Ming Haotian, something bad would happen.
Ming Haotian shivered.
What was going on?
A phone suddenly rang in the car.
Minghao Tian subconsciously looked back through the rearview mirror of the car. He saw Ken Swanson’s cold lips curl into a rare gentle smile when he saw the caller ID.
That gaze could be considered gentle!
Ming Haotian’s eyes widened in shock.
Whose call was it? It could actually warm up an iceberg?
In the next second, Ken Swanson said gently, “Melody? Are you done?”
Chapter 915
Ming Haotian was dumbfounded the moment he heard the name.
Melody, Melody Fox… That ugly woman?
Minghao Tian looked at Ken Swanson, who was speaking gently in the rearview mirror. Something that he hadn’t figured out before suddenly became clear.
Previously, he did not understand why Ken Swanson would marry an ugly woman. He also did not understand why Margaret Swanson would ask this woman to send a gift to the Mont family on her behalf.
Furthermore, he did not understand why he ordered him to beat him up the moment he arrived.
If all these things were based on the same foundation, then if Ken Swanson and that ugly woman were truly in love, everything would make sense.
However, after thinking through those questions, he was even more confused now.
Why did Ken Swanson like that unattractive woman?
Ever since they were young, Ken Swanson had been someone else’s child in their group. He was an existence they had to look up to since they were young.
Furthermore, even though he was clearly older than Ken Swanson, he still subconsciously called him “Brother Ken.” Shouldn’t such a true genius match up to him be a perfect and exquisite socialite?
No one knew what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Ken Swanson smiled and said, “I knew you would succeed. As for Lou Rui… he can only blame his bad luck. If they had believed you from the beginning, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
A moment later, Ken Swanson said, “I just brought him out. The other party insisted on suing him, so I spent time picking him up. Now, on the way to the Mont family, do you want to come and find me or wait for me at the hotel?”
Minghao Tian did not have the heart to continue listening to the rest of the sentence because he had captured the key information.
They wanted to bring him back to the Mont family!
But hadn’t his family completely abandoned him?
Putting everything else aside, Ming Yiheng’s appearance meant that he was no longer his father’s only son who was afraid of falling and melting.
He still remembered the scene when he was chased out by the Mont family.
When he had always been respectful to him, the butler who had watched him grow up would chase him out with an extremely disgusted gaze.
Now, he was in a worse state than when he was. He even had a lawsuit on his back. Why did they bring him back to the Mont family?
Was she trying to take the opportunity to humiliate him again?
Was this Ming Yiheng’s plan?
However, how could Ming Yiheng be qualified to let Ken Swanson join his plan?
Ming Haotian’s mind was in a mess. He saw that the scenery outside the car window was becoming more and more familiar. Just as he was about to reach the door of the Mont family, he suddenly felt flustered.
“Stop! Stop! I want to get out of the car. I’m not going to the Mont family!”
Regardless of whether Ming Yiheng had deliberately humiliated him to bring him out of the police station, he really did not have the face to see his father again.
He really knew that he was wrong, but he also knew that it was too late.
“Stop the car!”
Ming Haotian slammed the car door, but it was locked from the inside. There was no way he could escape.
He was about to jump out of the window when Ken Swanson suddenly said coldly, “Minghao, I know what you’re afraid of. If you can’t take responsibility after suffering so much these two days and don’t even have the courage to apologize to your father, then jump down!”
Ming Haotian’s hand froze on the door. After a few seconds, his hand seemed to have lost its strength and slowly slid down from the car window.
Two minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Mont family.
Ming Haotian got out of the car and saw the butler standing at the door with red eyes, looking like he was waiting for him.
He stopped in his tracks and instinctively looked at Ken Swanson.
“Brother Ken, this…”
Ken Swanson did not even look at Ming Haotian as he pushed him on the back.
“Get in!”
Ming Haotian subconsciously walked in.
They walked past the pavilions in the courtyard and arrived at the main hall.
Ming Yiheng took the lead and stepped into the main hall.
“Uncle Ming, Brother Ming Haotian is back.”
Minghao Tian looked up in shock.
Uncle Ming?
Didn’t he already acknowledge his father as his father?
The next second, he heard his father’s cold voice coming from the main seat in the main hall-
“Kneel!”
Minghao Tian’s feet trembled and he subconsciously knelt on the marble floor.
With a dull thud, he felt the pain of his bones hitting the ground, but it was not even one thousandth as painful as the pain in his heart tonight.
“Dad, I…”
Ming Haotian opened his mouth, but he realized that he no longer had the qualifications to call Old Patriarch Ming his father.
The words were stuck in his throat, and he didn’t know what to say.
Just as Ken Swanson’s cold voice sounded-
“Your father tried so hard to make you turn back. Now, do you know your mistake?”
Minghao Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his head in disbelief.
He looked up and met Old Master Ming’s teary eyes.
In a flash, he finally understood everything.
All of this was fake.
Including Ming Yiheng!
“Dad!”
Minghao Tian felt a tightness in his throat. The sourness at the tip of his nose made him unable to hold it in for a moment. Tears quickly fell from his eyes.
“Dad!!!”
Unable to contain his emotions any longer, he suddenly stood up and hugged his father the little old man who was already staggering.
Coincidentally, Melody Fox also stepped into the main hall.
When she saw the two of them hugging each other, she and Ken Swanson looked at each other tacitly and saw relief in each other’s eyes.
Old Master Ming was an honest person. Even though he was backed by Margaret Swanson and was the Swanson family’s closest relative, he never asked for anything from the Swanson family. What they had was the foundation that they had built step by step.
However, he did not have many children. He only gave birth to Minghao Tian when he was almost 50 years old.
He had just sent his wife away a few years ago, and he was already half-buried. However, he still had to rack his brains to let his son walk on the right path…
Fortunately, the outcome was good.
After this incident, Ming Haotian should have truly grown up.
Melody Fox could not help but think that if Russell Fox was half as good as Old Master Ming, she and the Fox family would never have ended up in this situation.
However, Melody Fox immediately laughed mockingly.
Comparing Russell Fox to Old Master Ming was an insult to him.
A large hand suddenly grabbed her hand.
Melody Fox subconsciously looked at the owner of the hand and saw Ken Swanson mouthed to her, “What are you thinking about?”
Melody Fox shook his head. “I thought of some disgusting things.”
Ken Swanson immediately guessed that Melody Fox was thinking of Russell Fox.
With a father like Russell Fox, even though they had already broken off their father-daughter relationship, it was still quite disgusting.
He came up with a plan and said, “I’ll bring you to donate blood another day? If you donate a few more times, your relationship with Russell Fox might become weaker.”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Didn’t you study science in elementary school?”
No matter how much he changed the blood on his body, genes could not be changed. Otherwise, why would there be a saying that blood was thicker than water?
