Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Private Villa

A-Qi rushed into the room but didn’t see Fu Yihan. He looked at Su Qingnuan in confusion.

Su Qingnuan pointed behind the sofa and said, "Behind it."

A-Qi then turned to the back.

Fu Yihan had already closed his eyes. The clarity he displayed earlier was as fleeting as a blooming flower.

The doctor followed the two into the room, lifted Fu Yihan’s eyelids, and conducted a brief check.

"We’re currently unsure what he consumed. We need to go to the hospital for more thorough tests."

Gong Qi shook his head. "No, we can’t let him go out in this state."

Hearing this, the doctor adjusted his glasses. "Then we have no choice but to stimulate him to keep him temporarily rational."

Gong Qi frowned. "The same drug as last time?"

"There’s an alternative: just carry him out of here."

The doctor’s attitude was extremely arrogant, as if he feared neither A-Qi nor Gong Qi.

Su Qingnuan glanced at him in surprise.

Noticing Su Qingnuan’s gaze, the doctor looked at her lazily, as though lost in thought.

Their eyes met briefly before Su Qingnuan quickly looked away, focusing on Fu Yihan.

"Use it!" A-Qi said firmly. "If Mr. Fu were conscious right now, he’d definitely choose to use it."

The doctor smirked, took a vial of reagent from the box, and slowly injected it into Fu Yihan’s body.

The reagent worked quickly. Fu Yihan opened his eyes, his gaze remarkably clear.

"Mr. Fu, there’s not much time," A-Qi explained rapidly.

Fu Yihan furrowed his brows and raised his hand.

"Help me up. Get me to the wheelchair."

A-Qi and Gong Qi worked together to lift him up.

Su Qingnuan pushed the wheelchair over, placing it behind Fu Yihan.

Fu Yihan cast her a glance and said, "Yuerou, you’ll push me out. Gong Qi, you two follow later."

"Got it."

Su Qingnuan took a deep breath and began pushing Fu Yihan outside.

As they exited the room, the clamor of the crowd outside reached their ears.

They slowly merged into the throng of people at the charity event.

"Don’t be nervous," Fu Yihan’s voice came suddenly, calm and deliberate. "Do as I instructed you earlier. We are here for the event, nothing more. Afterward, we are simply heading home."

Su Qingnuan murmured a quiet "Mm" and relaxed her stride.

As they passed, many greeted Fu Yihan.

He responded with ease, appearing no different from his usual self.

At the entrance, A-Qi handed Fu Yihan a cane.

Fu Yihan steadied himself and slowly climbed into the car.

As the car door shut, Fu Yihan immediately went limp, slumping as though his soul had left his body.

Su Qingnuan panicked and turned to A-Qi. "A-Qi! Mr. Fu has fainted again!"

A-Qi’s brows furrowed as he turned to the driver and gave an address.

The car sped through the roads, the fastest vehicle Su Qingnuan had ever been in. Several times, she was nearly thrown against the window.

When they finally came to a stop, A-Qi swiftly opened the back door and carried Fu Yihan out on his back.

Su Qingnuan had no time to react and could only hurry to follow.

The car had stopped in front of a small villa. A-Qi, carrying Fu Yihan, opened the door with practiced ease and headed straight inside.

Su Qingnuan hurried along in small steps.

At the innermost part of the house, A-Qi opened a dark brown door and began descending.

Is this... a basement?

Su Qingnuan followed cautiously, her eyes filled with confusion.

As they moved forward, the lights ahead lit up one by one. Soon, A-Qi stopped, and a blinding light suddenly came on.

Su Qingnuan squinted, utterly shocked by the scene before her.

It was a fully equipped room.

"Fully equipped" in the medical sense.

From hospital-grade instruments to specialized equipment, everything one could imagine was on display here.

Giant glass panes partitioned this basketball-court-sized space, offering an unobstructed view.

"Why are you standing at the door?"

A voice suddenly came from behind. Su Qingnuan turned to see Gong Qi and the doctor approaching.

"Go sit inside." Gong Qi gestured.

Snapping out of it, Su Qingnuan nodded and followed the two of them in.

By now, A-Qi had already placed Fu Yihan on the examination table.

As Fu Yihan lay motionless, the three of them stood around him, giving the impression of willing executioners.

"I’ll perform a checkup now. Lend me a hand," the doctor directed.

A-Qi and Gong Qi nodded, standing close by Fu Yihan.

Hearing this, Su Qingnuan stood hesitantly and asked softly, "Is there anything I can help with?"

The doctor shot her a glance but said nothing.

A-Qi shook his head.

Only Gong Qi was slightly gentler, smiling as he said, "No need. Have a seat and rest for now."

Su Qingnuan had no choice but to sit back down.

The trio moved deftly as they examined Fu Yihan.

Su Qingnuan’s eyes were dazzled by the array of instruments, which they used with practiced proficiency.

After completing the examination, the doctor held up a scan with a slight frown.

"For now, it seems like his bodily functions are fine, and the effects of the drug are wearing off. However, I still haven’t figured out what this drug is supposed to do. He seems to merely faint without any other notable reactions."

Gong Qi glanced at the unconscious man and speculated, "Could it be that he’s taken so much of these drugs that he’s built up a resistance? Ordinary ones no longer affect him?"

The doctor raised an eyebrow and smirked. "That’s not an impossible explanation."

In the end, the doctor couldn’t determine what the drug actually was.

"My guess is that it’s a direct-injection hormone," the doctor said leisurely, sipping a cup of coffee.

By now, they had left the basement and were sitting on the living room sofa.

Gong Qi gave the doctor a sideways glance, grumbling, "Stop guessing. If Yihan wakes up and you can’t give him a clear answer, you’ll be in trouble."

The doctor froze mid-sip and glared at Gong Qi in annoyance.

Unbothered by the glare, Gong Qi placed a cup of coffee before Su Qingnuan. "Sister-in-law, have some coffee."

Su Qingnuan straightened up nervously and accepted the cup. "Thank you."

"Sister-in-law?" The doctor’s surprised gaze fell on Su Qingnuan. "She’s Su Yuerou?"

"Of course," Gong Qi replied with a grin. "Didn’t you hear Yihan just now, calling her Yuerou? Why so surprised?"

"It’s just that..." The doctor scrutinized Su Qingnuan and murmured thoughtfully, "I recall Su Yuerou looking different when she was younger."

Su Qingnuan’s hand trembled, spilling coffee onto the floor.

A brown stain now marred the pristine carpet.

"Hey!" Gong Qi quickly took out a napkin and handed it to her.

Su Qingnuan accepted the napkin, looking at him apologetically. "I’m sorry for dirtying the carpet..."

"It’s fine." Gong Qi chuckled. "Are you burned? Do you need some ointment?"

"No, no!" Su Qingnuan waved her hands quickly, smiling. "I’m fine!"

She extended her hand, revealing unmarred, delicate skin. Smiling, she assured, "It’s just warm now. Nothing serious."

Seeing this, Gong Qi let out a sigh of relief.
