Chapter 796: Ian Was Drugged By the Ouyang Family
The talk lasted for some time when Zi Yi’s phone suddenly rang.
She hastily took her phone and headed outside.
There was a courtyard outside the Chinese Medicine Association. Murals of famous people in the medical world were placed around the courtyard and there were also some common herbs planted around.
Zi Yi walked over to the wall and stopped.
The call was from Ian.
The moment Zi Yi answered the call, Ian’s abnormal gasping voice could be heard. Zi Yi furrowed her brow and asked, “Ian, what are you doing?”
“Zi, help me.” Ian’s voice sounded like he was in great pain. “I got tricked by the Ouyang Family and was drugged.”
Zi Yi was a little surprised. “Even someone like you can be drugged?”
Ian gasped and gritted his teeth as he said, “The Ouyang Family are all crazy people. Today, I went to have tea with Eldest Master Ouyang and he had actually reserved the entire tea house and drugged all the available beverages.”
Zi Yi was speechless for a second. “…They’re really crazy.”
However, at the thought that the Ouyang Family did not hesitate to take out their remaining piece of land in their family as bait in order to lure Ian into cooperating with them, Zi Yi felt that it was not surprising for them to have drugged him.
However, there was something Zi Yi could not understand. “Where are your bodyguards? Also, don’t you know martial arts?”
Ian continued to grind his teeth. “I don’t know what the Ouyang Family did, but they lured all my bodyguards away. Also, the medicine I got drugged with is too potent. How could I possibly be able to exert any strength?”
“Tsk,” Zi Yi said as she sympathized with him. “You’re so pitiful.”
Ian took a deep breath while gasping for air. “I originally planned to call Lu, but he didn’t answer.”
Otherwise, he would not have called Zi Yi. He did not wish for Zi Yi to spread this incident to the Dou Family. It would destroy the image he had tried so hard to build in front of them.
He added. “I’ve made arrangements with Lu, which was why I went for the appointment today. You can’t leave me to die here without helping me.”
It was impossible for Zi Yi not to help him. She brought out the virtual screen and quickly pinpointed his location before sending it to Little Loli. “Little Loli will be coming to rescue you, hold on for a few more minutes.”
Speaking of this, Zi Yi said with slight traces of distrust, “You can last for a few minutes, right?”
If he could not hold on and did something that let down her cousin, Zi Yi would make his life miserable.
How could Ian not know the meaning behind Zi Yi’s words? He gritted his teeth and said, “I can!”
He had no interest in other women and even if he was drugged, he would not let other women touch him.
Zi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly arranged for Little Loli to rescue him. At the same time, she got A to prepare the antidote for the drug.
Knocking sounds and a woman’s voice sounded on Ian’s side and he said to her, “Zi, I’ll be hanging up first.”
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Zi Yi looked at the phone and guessed where Ian was hiding.
“Don’t tell me he’s hiding in the bathroom?”
Yesterday, before they reached home, Ian called to say that the Second Young Miss of the Ouyang Family had come looking for him. She had shown him a document of an extremely good piece of land belonging to the Ouyang Family and expressed her family’s intentions of working together with him.
In the end, he and Lu Jingye had a discussion and felt that he could go for the meeting.
It was such a good deal and it was a waste not to take it. What’s more, that land just so happened to be something that Lu Jingye wanted.
As a result, Ian went for the appointment today.
However, they did not expect the Ouyang Family to be so crazy as to have drugged Ian regardless of the consequences. They clearly wanted something to happen between Ian and one of the sisters of the Ouyang Family. By that time it will be too late for them to do anything, and the Ouyang Family will be able to manipulate Ian.
“Hmph…”
Zi Yi put away her phone and turned to walk towards the door.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw someone standing behind the door.
It was Qiao Hong, the girl who talked to her earlier.
The moment Qiao Hong sensed Zi Yi’s gaze, she turned around and walked away as if she was caught in the act.
Zi Yi furrowed her brows and felt that this girl was baffling.
When she returned to the room, one of the doctors just so happened to be discussing a rare illness.
Zi Yi sat down and continued to listen.
However, not long after, her phone rang again.
Just then, Qiao Hong suddenly raised her voice and said, “Elder Li is talking right now and everyone’s phone has been put on silent. Some people really don’t have any tact.”
As soon as Qiao Hong said that, she turned around and stared at Zi Yi.
The others had also shifted their gazes to Zi Yi.
Zi Yi took out her phone with a calm expression and said, “Sorry, it’s my phone that is ringing.”
Having said that, she stood up. “If it has disturbed everyone, I’ll take my leave first.”
Qiao Hong smiled upon hearing what Zi Yi said.
This person was so arrogant and the various masters will surely dislike her.
“Eh? Little Zi, why are you leaving?” Elder Li stopped her. “We are just having a simple talk over tea and so what if you answer a few calls? Quick, go and answer your phone. When you’re done, come back and have a discussion with us.”
A few other older doctors also said in agreement, “That’s right. We specially made Elder Tang bring you here today and you haven’t even had a chance to speak yet, why are you leaving?”
Zi Yi revealed a smile at their words. “Alright then, I’ll go answer this call first.”
“Go on, go on.”
When Zi Yi was about to leave, she deliberately glanced at Qiao Hong. At the sight of her ugly expression, she stopped and said, “Excuse me Miss who is sitting over there, if you have anything against me, you can just tell me straight to my face, plainly and clearly. There’s no need to use these underhanded methods.”
Everyone was staring at Qiao Hong.
Qiao Hong instantly felt ashamed and her face turned red. “You… what are you talking about? When did I do anything against you?”
“Ha.” Zi Yi sneered. “Moments ago, I went out to answer the phone and you purposely came to the door to peek. Now when my phone rang again, no one said anything… not to mention, my ringtone was extremely soft in volume. If you had not mentioned it out loud, others would not have heard it.”
What Zi Yi said was indeed true.
Earlier on, everyone was paying attention to Elder Li talking about a toe illness and no one had heard a cell phone ring.
Having said that, Zi Yi left the room with her phone. Following that, an elder’s displeased voice sounded. “Qiao Hong, I brought you along to learn, and if you don’t want to continue listening, leave.”
“Teacher, I…”
Qiao Hong’s panicking voice quickly sounded.
At this time, Zi Yi had already reached a corner of the courtyard and she did not hear the rest of the conversation inside the room.
The one calling her was Lu Yunxiao.
He said, “Sister-in-law. He Fei hired a hitman to kill Eldest Master He.”
Zi Yi was a little surprised, but it was within her expectations. However, she was more concerned about something else. “How did you know about this?”
Lu Yunxiao said, “I am currently tracking a group of hitmen. Two men escaped into the city and their skills in disguising themselves are superb. Do pay attention to your surroundings.”
Zi Yi asked, “Are the hitmen you’re chasing in the same group as the hitmen He Fei hired?”
Lu Yunxiao replied, “I don’t know for the time being.”
Zi Yi nodded. “Alright, I got it.”
She hung up the phone after that. She got Shadow to be on high alert and after thinking for a moment, she got in touch with Little Loli.
Little Loli answered her phone very soon. “Sister.”
Zi Yi asked her, “Did you take Ian away?”
“Yep,” Little Loli said, “I gave Oppa Ian a body check. He had consumed tons of drugs and when I arrived there, he had almost lost his virginity.”
Zi Yi: “…”
She could only say that the Ouyang Family was really ruthless.
