“They were right under your noses! How could you let her escape?!” Lu Zhao’s frustration was evident.

“Boss, our men were indeed keeping a close eye on them, but when we moved in, we only found Liu Sheng in the villa, ” Xiao Ting said nervously.

“Just bring her here first,” Lu Zhao commanded.

After hanging up the phone, he looked apologetically at Luo Ying.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart. It was my oversight that caused this,” Lu Zhao said while pursing his lips.

Luo Ying gently stroked his hair.

“I suspect that someone has set you up as well. With your level of meticulousness, you wouldn’t make such a rash decision.”

Lu Zhao furrowed his brows and said, “I also feel like I haven’t been as mentally sharp as I should be lately. Wen Yu has always been responsible for my treatment. Is it possible…”

The two of them exchanged glances as they came to a silent agreement.

“Have Jiang Ming give you a check-up to see what’s going on with your body,” Luo Ying suggested.

As he looked at Luo Ying’s pale and gaunt face, a wave of grief filled Lu Zhao’s heart. He tightly held Luo Ying’s hand. “So many things have happened recently. Once we get through this, I’ll take you on a trip.”

Luo Ying smiled softly.

Xiao Ting shoved Liu Sheng into the ward.

Liu Sheng’s hands were tied behind her back. Her lipstick was smudged, and her hair was a disheveled mess.

When she saw Lu Zhao, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Zhao coldly stared at the woman in front of him.

“Why did you do this? Who is that woman?” Lu Zhao questioned.

Liu Sheng shook her head repeatedly. “Lu Zhao, I really didn’t intend to harm

Luo Ying. I was also deceived by that woman.”

Luo Ying lay on the hospital bed and smirked contemptuously. “Are you kidding me? You were the one who threw sulfuric acid at me during the filming, right?”

Fear filled Liu Sheng’s eyes. She hadn’t expected them to discover this. She believed she had executed it flawlessly.

Liu Sheng had no choice but to admit it. She glared at him and said, “What’s so special about Luo Ying that you treat her so wholeheartedly? Why won’t you even look at me? I love you just as much as she does!”

Lu Zhao coldly surveyed the woman who was shouting herself hoarse.

“Regardless of what happens to Luo Ying, I still love her. A woman with a venomous heart like you doesn’t deserve anyone’s love,” Lu Zhao said firmly and gestured to Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting nodded and dragged Liu Sheng away.

“It seems that we won’t get any information about that woman from her. We’ll have to investigate this matter thoroughly,” Lu Zhao said.

Suddenly, a person flashed in Luo Ying’s mind: Shen Lan.

She used to be on good terms with Liu Sheng, so perhaps she might know something.

However, it was already late, and Luo Ying planned to contact Shen Lan the next day.

Lu Zhao nodded. “Then I’ll stay with you tonight.”

Luo Ying lovingly stroked the hair on Lu Zhao’s forehead.

A hint of desire flashed in Lu Zhao’s eyes. He gently grasped Luo Ying’s hand and said, “Once you recover, you’ll have to bear the consequences.” A wicked smile appeared on his face.

Luo Ying understood what he meant and blushed.

Jiang Ming knocked on the door and walked in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he felt uneasy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He wished he could be the one chatting and laughing with Luo Ying like this, but it seemed that he would never have that chance.

The two of them looked at Jiang Ming, who had just entered. They blushed slightly.

“Dr. Jiang, is there something you need?” Lu Zhao asked.

Jiang Ming waved the folder in his hand. “Mr. Lu’s blood test results are out.”

Luo Ying lightly bit her lip. “How is it?”

Jiang Ming looked at Luo Ying’s worried face and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

“Mr. Lu’s blood contains a neurotoxin. The dosage was very light, but it subtly affects your judgment and thinking ability. If this continues for another two months, your brain would be permanently damaged and you would exhibit signs of dementia.”

Jiang Ming’s words left Lu Zhao and Luo Ying in a state of panic.

Who else could be plotting against him?

“If I stop taking it now, how long would it take for me to return to normal?” Lu Zhao asked.

“You don’t have much of it in your system right now. If you stop taking it, your system will work it out in two days,” Jiang Ming explained.

“Got it. Thank you, Dr. Jiang. You can go and rest now,” Lu Zhao nodded.

After Jiang Ming left, the two of them fell into a short silence. The consecutive incidents proved that their situation was perilous.

“Whatever the case is, Wen Yu has been treating you, so it’s best to start investigating her first,” Luo Ying suggested.
