The doll finished speaking and closed its mouth, then revealed an extremely eerie smile.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the doll's head suddenly exploded. Tiny parts scattered all over the floor, and the doll's eyeballs rolled to Bai Xi's feet.
Bai Xi's gaze turned extremely cold. She fiercely stepped on one of the glass-like, beautiful eyeballs. The eyeball seemed incredibly hard, and was crushed deep into the wooden floor of the Han family's main hall.
"Kui Dian!"
Just as everyone's attention was on the doll, a discordant voice came from not far away, interrupting the flow.
The voice was low and hoarse, like a beast's roar, yet lacked a certain depth.
Almost simultaneously, everyone turned towards the source of the sound. The security guard who had looked terrifying moments before now had an even more ferocious expression. His black eyeballs rolled upwards, revealing only a black rim. The man seemed to have gone mad, lunging fiercely at everyone present.
And the closest one, bearing the brunt of the attack, was none other than Bai Xi.
As the security guard lunged towards Bai Xi, she leaped into the air. Her heel sharply kicked the back of the guard's neck.
With that one strike, the guard fell to the ground, but he did not lose consciousness.
Bai Xi frowned and directly placed a foot on his spine, pinning him to the ground, unable to move an inch.
Xuan Feng immediately stepped forward, intending to grab and restrain the man on the ground.
Han Mo approached and said calmly, "Commander Xuan, he is poisoned. His bodily secretions are toxic. If you come into contact with them, you will become like him."
Xuan Feng halted his movement.
Han Mo stepped closer, putting on the gloves he carried.
Silver needles were swiftly inserted, and the previously agitated man quieted down, closing his eyes.
Seeing this, Han Rui immediately leaned in, wanting to get a closer look, and praised sincerely, "Dr. Han's medical skills are truly remarkable."
He had previously paid a substantial sum to hire many so-called medical "experts," pharmaceutical "experts," and traditional Chinese medicine "experts." They spoke eloquently, but when it came to preparing medications, they were all hesitant. Later, when a patient suffered a drug allergy, instead of thinking of administering anti-allergy treatment, they immediately shifted the blame.
If he hadn't been there that day and stopped their argument, the patient would have likely gone into shock.
And Han Mo...
Despite lacking any prestigious titles and being incredibly low-key.
However, both the medicine he produced and the silver needles he wielded were things Han Rui had never seen before.
Han Mo didn't even lift his gaze, merely stating, "I merely used silver needles to induce sleep. The poison has not been neutralized."
Han Rui raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Then what kind of poison is this?"
Han Mo replied calmly, "Currently, it appears to be a neurotoxic agent developed based on the characteristics of the rabies virus."
Hearing this, Han Rui became even more curious. Unknowingly, he had already approached the security guard and was about to crouch down for a closer examination, but was stopped by an arm extended by Xuan Feng, causing him to step back instinctively.
Han Rui curled his lips, clearly displeased. "What are you doing?"
Xuan Feng said lightly, "If you crouch down, he could grab you in an instant if he wakes up."
At these words, Han Rui immediately took a step back, then raised his eternally charming, devilish smile. "Then how about I stand here?"
He, Han Rui, was not ungrateful. Knowing that Xuan Feng wanted to protect him, he should naturally feel pleased.
Xuan Feng paused slightly and said, "That's fine."
Bai Xi asked calmly, "Was the security guard infected by handling the doll?"
Han Mo gave a direct affirmative answer.
Bai Xi immediately turned to Xuan Feng. "Find the child who brought the doll immediately. Once found, isolate and bring them back, and isolate everyone who had contact with them as well, to ensure this poison does not spread."
Xuan Feng clasped his hands together and acknowledged the order, preparing to leave.
Han Mo called out a reminder, "Wear gloves. Do not come into contact with any of the child's bodily fluids."
Sweat, saliva... all are dangerous sources of infection.
Xuan Feng nodded and then departed.
At this moment, Han Cai walked over.
Bai Xi looked at Han Cai, but before she could ask if he had something important to discuss, he knelt directly on the ground, right in front of Bai Xi.
This heavy kneel surprised everyone present.
Uncle Zhang immediately said, "Master, what is it? Are you feeling unwell!"
Han Cai quickly pulled Uncle Zhang beside him. "You quickly kneel too. This is the God of War from the Dark Department."
The doll's head had made it abundantly clear: Lord God of War.
That mysterious Dark Department, that top-tier figure, was this young lady standing before them!
Although he had known Bai Xi's status in the Dark Department was likely not low, he had never imagined she was the pinnacle of the Dark Department!
Uncle Zhang did not know what the Dark Department was, but he understood his master's emotions. Han Cai's excitement indicated that Bai Xi's status was extremely high, so kneeling was appropriate.
The moment Han Cai knelt, Bai Xi was truly caught off guard.
She was fast at fighting and handling emergencies, but Han Cai's action was completely unexpected, leaving her unable to react. It wasn't until Han Cai told Uncle Zhang to kneel as well that she reacted, quickly reaching out to help Uncle Zhang up, and also pulling Han Cai from the ground.
"Elder Han, you are not part of the Dark Department, so you do not need to offer such a grand禮 to me."
Within the Dark Department, there were strict regulations.
Subordinates had to salute superiors when meeting them. Xuan Feng had done so when he saw her. While she was accustomed to it, she truly felt it was unnecessary, especially when outdoors.
It was too eye-catching.
Han Cai, being helped up, had a haggard yet hopeful expression on his wrinkled face. "Yes, yes, Lord God of War, you are Lord God of War."
After speaking, he prepared to kneel again.
Han Rui also quickly went to support him. "Grandfather, Xuan Feng outside calls little Xi 'Eldest Miss.' You keep calling her God of War, kneeling and bowing. Aren't you afraid of revealing her identity? She's painstakingly concealed her identity to come out for 'incognito visits.' Are you specifically undermining her?"
Bai Xi: "..."
She wasn't an emperor, nor was she on an incognito visit.
Evidently, Han Rui understood Han Cai better.
At these words, Han Cai immediately stood up and gave Han Rui a tap on the leg with his cane. "What little Xi'er? Call her Eldest Miss!"
Han Rui, struck by the cane, still had a smiling face. "Alright, alright, yes, yes, Eldest Miss, Miss Bai."
Han Cai was still not satisfied. "Be respectful, show deference!"
Han Rui nodded seriously, stating with a solemn expression, "Yes, your grandson understands. Eldest Miss, I have always been very respectful and deferential to you, haven't I?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. "Hmm."
Respectful, deferential? She couldn't tell.
Afraid of her, however, was very clear.
Han Cai thought Han Rui understood his mistake and said, "Lord God of War, then this old man will continue to call you 'Eldest Miss' when we're outside."
Bai Xi nodded.
Han Rui raised an eyebrow. "Instead of arguing about this trivial matter of address, shouldn't we think about what the person who sent this thing intends to do? After all, ten hours passes very quickly!"
Bai Xi's eyes held a cold expression.
Indeed, this was the problem that needed to be addressed most urgently now.
