Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 388 - 388 Poisoned

388 Poisoned

After Qianqian left, Qiao An collapsed into Huo Xiaoran’s arms.

“Brother Xiaoran, you’re right. She was really here for the list,” Qiao An said fearfully.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Fortunately, you’re smart and gave her so many gifts to confuse her. It can keep her busy for a while.”

Qiao An said, “But she’s already in control of Brother Xiao Ming. He’s in a very dangerous situation. What should we do?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll think of a way. You have to hide your secret.”

Qiao An trembled. Her secret was the list Lu Qianqian had given her before she died.

In the afternoon, bad news came from Jinghang Hospital. Xiao Ming’s condition had changed and his life was in danger. When Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An heard the news, they rushed to the hospital.

At the door of the ward, they saw Xiao Ming’s uncle and grandfather. The two men looked frightened and angry.

When Huo Xiaoran walked over, Xiao Ming’s attending physician told him, “Xiaoran, Xiao Ming’s mental state today is very unstable, and he occasionally hears voices.”

Huo Xiaoran was very surprised. Logically speaking, Xiao Ming’s injuries should not have such strange complications. Huo Xiaoran said, “Let me go in and see him.”

The doctor brought Huo Xiaoran into Xiao Ming’s ward.

At this moment, Xiao Ran realized that Xiao Ming had already changed to a separate VIP ward. Xiao Ran was furious. “Who allowed you to change his ward privately?”

The doctor explained, “Xiaoran, Xiao Ming caused a lot of trouble last night. A patient complained that Xiao Ming affected their sleep, so Old Master Xiao personally changed his ward.”

Huo Xiaoran understood. Xiao Ming must have suffered some special treatment in the independent ward last night.

“Who came to see Xiao Ming last night?”

“There were a few.”

“I want to see the CCTV footage.”

As he spoke, Huo Xiaoran had already arrived at Xiao Ming’s bedside. Xiao Ming looked especially haggard today. His dark circles were very serious, and he had been frowning to endure his discomfort.

Seeing him in such pain, Huo Xiaoran knew that something was wrong. He gave Xiao Ming a very detailed full-body examination. The entire time, Xiao Ming looked at him weakly.

“Xiaoran, I really can’t do it this time. Give up.” He did not seem to have any hope left.

“Why? Do you not believe that I can cure you?” Xiao Ran quarreled with him when he was drawing blood.

Xiao Ming smiled, but his mouth was clearly crooked.

Huo Xiaoran said, “The preliminary conclusion is that you were poisoned. However, the dosage is not high. Your life is not in danger for the time being. Xiao Ming, if others were to be poisoned like this, I can announce that I’ll give up on treatment. Because even if you’re cured, you’ll still be paralyzed. But you’re different. You have strong willpower. As long as you persist in training, perhaps you can return to a normal person.”

Hope flared in Xiao Ming’s eyes.

Huo Xiaoran said to the doctor beside him, “He needs detoxification treatment. Prepare it immediately.”

“Okay.”

After the doctor left, Xiao Ming’s expression changed slightly. Huo Xiaoran leaned over and pressed his ear to his mouth. He heard him whimper in a muffled voice, “Joey. Joey.”

“Joey what?” Huo Xiaoran asked.

“Danger,” Xiao Ming said.

Huo Xiaoran’s face turned pale.

But he quickly regained his composure. “Don’t worry. Joey’s safe now.”

Xiao Ming nodded. He seemed calmer.

Huo Xiaoran asked him again, “What should we do with that list?”

Xiao Ming’s eyes lit up at the mention of the list. He seemed to force himself to pull himself together and squeeze out a few words. “Leave it to the narcotics police, Falcon.”

Xiao Ran looked puzzled. “Who’s Falcon?”

“I don’t know.”

Xiao Ran was depressed.

“Then how can An’an complete the mission?”

Xiao Ming suddenly fell silent, his gaze fixed on Huo Xiaoran’s back.

Xiao Ran looked over and realized that Lu Qianqian had arrived.

He winced before standing up.

Lu Qianqian pretended to be concerned about Xiao Ming’s situation. “Xiaoran, what’s wrong with Xiao Ming!”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Poisoning. Internal organs, digestive system damaged, nervous system, and language center completely lost.”

“He can’t speak?” Qianqian didn’t believe it.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Unfortunately. He was lucky to have survived.”

Lu Qianqian looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief. Xiao Ming’s eyes were slanted and his hands were like claws. He looked like a fool.

Lu Qianqian’s expression was obscure. It was unknown if it was sympathy or fear.

Xiaoran said faintly, “This guy has probably done too many bad things. It’s retribution.”

Lu Qianqian was slightly stunned, but she suddenly smiled and said, “Haven’t you heard that good people don’t live long?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her with undisguised contempt.

Where did she get the face to think that someone like her could live to a ripe old age?

“I’ve only heard that good is rewarded and evil is punished. It’s just that the time for retribution hasn’t come.” With that, Huo Xiaoran patted Xiao Ming vengefully.

Then he turned to leave.

Lu Qianqian sat on the accompanying chair in front of the bed and looked at Xiao Ming quietly. She called out, “Xiao Ming.”

Xiao Ming’s eyes were dull as if he couldn’t focus. They scattered.

Lu Qianqian suddenly reached out and pinched his arm hard.

Xiao Ming’s face didn’t change.

Lu Qianqian murmured, “Stop pretending, Xiao Ming. There’s no point in pretending anymore.”

Xiao Ming didn’t respond.

In order to agitate him, Lu Qianqian said, “Xiao Ming, I’ve already investigated Qiao An. Qiao An doesn’t have that list.”

Xiao Ming secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, “Lu Qianqian” continued, “But Lu Qianqian jumped out of the train with that list. She was injured. In the short hour before her death, she only came into contact with Qiao An. Who else could she have given this list to?”

Xiao Ming appeared calmer than ever.

“Lu Qianqian”‘s voice suddenly became evil. “Xiao Ming, you must not know. When we found Lu Qianqian’s body, there was a big hole in her stomach. Guess what was in her stomach?”

Xiao Ming’s toes curled hard, but his face remained calm.

“By the way, Zhou Zhou told me that Joey is your daughter. Hmph, Qiao An’s stomach is amazing. Three babies and two biological fathers.”

“I’m guessing Joey isn’t Qiao An’s daughter. She’s your daughter with Lu Qianqian.”

At this point, Lu Qianqian suddenly smiled evilly. “I suddenly have a guess. Do you think she hid the secret from Joey?”
