Chapter 847: Not convinced? Kill him (67)
Qinglong Pure Room
On the quaint sandalwood table, an exquisite celadon teacup was slowly turning. At the bottom of the cup, an exquisite plum branch pattern was faintly visible, adding a touch of elegance to the teacup.
Zhou Qi sat at the table leisurely. He gently removed his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a pair of deep, sharp eyes. His fingertips tapped rhythmically on the table, producing a crisp sound.
His eyes fell on the steaming purple clay teapot, with wisps of white mist rising from the spout. "The water is finally boiling."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the scalding hot tea towards the person kneeling beside him. The scalding liquid hit the person directly, instantly stirring up a white mist.
In the steaming white mist, the person next to him blocked the man's mouth with a rag, and a muffled scream was heard.
Zhou Qi moved without any pause. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up a piece of red-hot charcoal with bamboo tweezers. He threw it into the kneeling man's pants like throwing away garbage.
In an instant, a mixed smell of sandalwood and burnt flesh filled the air, making people feel nauseous.
"Doctor Li, I was injured a while ago, and you seemed a little nervous when you gave me the new special medicine."
Doctor Zhao, kneeling on the ground in his neatly ironed white coat, had beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. A nearby assistant took the rag from his mouth. Doctor Li hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou, I saw you were seriously injured, so I gave you that special medicine! Wasn't the effect... wasn't it excellent?"
"Is the effect very good?" Zhou Qi took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and gently put down the teacup. The cup hit the rosewood table top, making an inaudible crisp sound.
He casually picked up a small celadon dish next to him. Inside was a plate of the special medicine mentioned earlier, as well as several filled syringes. "This is the special medicine you just developed."
He paused briefly, then gently picked up a pill with his slender fingers and examined it carefully against the bright light of the bulb. "However, it seems like there's 'happy powder' mixed in here... If you take too much, it can cause symptoms such as euphoria, mental disorder, hallucinations, and extreme excitement."
Doctor Li's body shuddered violently, cold sweat instantly soaking his back like a flood. "Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou! This... this is truly unfair! This... this is truly just an ordinary..."
"Ordinary?" Zhou Qi slammed the small celadon dish down, causing a few pills to fall out. "The special medicine you prescribed for me makes me dizzy after taking too much, and you said it was a side effect of the new drug." Zhou Qi picked up the syringe on the dish again. "What kind of good stuff is added to this 'special' painkiller? Is it the inhibitor that's delaying the healing of my wound? Or... a toxin that slowly paralyzes my nerves?"
"No wonder my wound heals so slowly this time... Doctor Li, you've been with me from the very beginning! So, you're considered a veteran..." With every word Zhou Qi spoke, Doctor Zhao's face grew paler.
"Take him away." Zhou Qi put the syringe back into the dish. "Let him taste it for himself. Let him see what it feels like to use all these fine medicines he carefully prepared on himself."
Then he took the purple clay teapot off the stove and put the stove aside. "This one isn't finished yet, don't waste it. If it's not enough, add some more."
As Dr. Li's screams faded away, silence returned to the place.
Not long after, the person who had been waiting in the dark came to Zhou Qi's side and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "That person confessed, it's..."
……
Zhou Silin was participating in a club activity at school and was happily chatting with her classmates when she suddenly received a message from Zhou Qi that Dr. Li had drugged someone. Zhou Silin immediately put down what she was doing and hurried back to the villa.
When Zhou Silin returned home, she saw Lin Tan sitting elegantly on the sofa, admiring her newly-made manicure. She walked over anxiously and asked, "Mommy, how are things going over there?"
Lin Tan raised his head slowly, a faint smile on his lips, and said in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to worry about me. As for you, you should take action when necessary."
Zhou Silin looked at her mother's calm expression and instantly calmed down. "Mommy, I understand. Then I'll go find Xue Xiaoqi now. Zhong Fanle can't wait any longer."
Lin Tan nodded with satisfaction, "Go, what happens next is the most exciting part." After that, she lowered her head to admire her manicure, as if everything was under control.
