Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Injection Medications
Jian Xi emerged feeling as if she had narrowly escaped death. She knew she had to leave this place quickly and stay away from Si Yuhuan to remain safe.
In the underground parking garage, Jian Xi tried to start the car several times, but each time it inexplicably died. She got out and walked around the car. When she saw the exhaust pipe, she wondered which despicable person had actually blocked it with a towel. A sense of foreboding unexpectedly rose in her heart, and she turned to run.
A man with his face covered approached her. He struck her with a swift chop to the neck, and before Jian Xi could make any sound, she was knocked unconscious.
When Jian Xi came to again, she found herself lying on an iron bed. The air was thick with the musty smell of rust and a pungent medicinal odor. Her neck ached. She tried to rise groggily but realized she couldn’t move at all.
"HAHAHA..."
A familiar laugh approached.
Jian Xi’s vision gradually cleared, and she saw Jiang Qimeng opposite her.
"Miss Jian, isn’t it a surprise to invite you over this way?"
Her expression was manic, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She walked up to Jian Xi excitedly and pinched her chin with a triumphant look. "You didn’t expect to fall into my hands, did you?"
"What do you want?" Jian Xi was terrified.
Today was her prenatal check-up! Damn it, she hadn’t brought the bodyguards her fifth brother had arranged for her, giving this woman an opportunity.
"Don’t be scared. I have a gift for you. Aren’t you eloquent and good at scheming? I bet you didn’t calculate that today would be your last."
Jiang Qimeng harshly flung Jian Xi’s chin away. Jian Xi staggered and fell to the side, her limbs numb.
"Did you drug me?"
Otherwise, how could she explain why she couldn’t even move?
"That’s right! Not only have I drugged you, but soon I’m going to inject you with something special. You think you’re so tough, don’t you? Using me for drug trials while you were treating the old man? Torturing me to the point I wished I were dead? Today, I’ll make you taste everything! We’ll see if you’re cruel enough, or if I’m ruthless enough!"
"Jian Xi, you owe me, and I’ll make you pay back every last bit!"
Jiang Qimeng was furious, her eyes blazing.
"No one can save you this time! I want you to become a lunatic, a helpless invalid who will lie in bed, depressed until you die! No one will suspect you were injected with a drug! Wasn’t it your best friend who told everyone you suffered from depressive delusions?"
She took out a syringe filled with a light green, viscous liquid.
"Don’t be afraid! Just a little prick. Once the liquid is injected, you’ll forget everything."
Jian Xi’s heart pounded; she had underestimated this deranged woman!
"Jiang Qimeng, if you dare touch me, neither the Jian Family nor Si Yuhuan will let you get away with it! Let me go now, and I promise I’ll give you everything you want. I won’t compete with you for Si Yuhuan."
"Shut up!" Jiang Qimeng grew even more agitated, her eyes practically shooting flames. "It’s all your fault Yuhan had a change of heart! Now he’s completely fallen for you. You must be so pleased! Only if you die will he fall in love with me!"
Her eyes red with emotion, Jiang Qimeng lunged, plunging the needle downward.
Just as the needle was about to pierce Jian Xi’s wrist, she suddenly kicked out, knocking Jiang Qimeng away. The syringe fell to the floor. Jian Xi bent to pick it up. Before Jiang Qimeng could react, Jian Xi grabbed one of her arms, plunged the needle in, and forced the light-green liquid into her vein.
"AAAAAAHHHHH—"
Jiang Qimeng let out a deafening roar, desperately shaking off Jian Xi and staggering backward.
"Help! Help!" Hearing her screams, her men rushed in from outside.
Her life was at stake. Jiang Qimeng could no longer bother with Jian Xi; she could only yell at her men, "Take me to the hospital! Take me to the hospital now!"
And so, Jiang Qimeng was carried away to the hospital by two bodyguards.
Jian Xi lay on the ground, panting for a few moments, then struggled to her feet and returned to Fuyuan Official Residence. She didn’t dare return to the Jian Family, fearing her parents and elder brother would worry if they saw her.
At the hospital, Jiang Qimeng was frantic with anxiety. She grabbed a doctor and commanded, "You better examine me properly! If anything happens to me, I’ll make sure all of you go down with me!"
The doctor who had just finished examining her was thoroughly annoyed by her attitude.
Is this the feudal era? Still talking about being buried with the dead!
He had lost all patience. "Are you delusional?" he said coldly. "You were just injected with some unknown, low-quality substance. It’s not affecting your body. What are you freaking out about?"
"How is that possible!" Jiang Qimeng screamed. This was a drug she had spent a fortune on buying from overseas, one that was supposed to turn people into imbeciles by damaging their nervous system!
"Hey! Do you even know how to treat patients? Examine me carefully!"
The doctor, having already checked her multiple times and seeing her acting hysterically, directly ordered security to remove her.
"You have a psychological issue. In my opinion, it’s your brain that’s the problem, not something requiring that kind of medication. I suggest you see a neurologist. Next!"
Jiang Qimeng was thrown out, her legs still feeling weak. After waiting for so long, her body had shown no reaction. Even if she was a fool, she knew by now: the drug was a fake!
She must have been blind to spend over a million on it! It was infuriating!
"I will not let this go," she seethed.
Jiang Qimeng didn’t leave the hospital. She bribed a doctor to get a random hospital bed and lay down, then called Si Junyan.
"Junyan, Jian Xi had someone inject me with a special drug! You know she has very capable doctors around her. I feel terrible all over, like I’m about to die."
Hearing this, Si Junyan’s anger flared. He was already in such a miserable state; how could he allow the woman he loved to be humiliated and hurt? "Wait for me," he said immediately. "I’ll be there right away."
After hanging up, he thought for a moment. He couldn’t go alone; he had to bring his elder brother to witness how cruelly Jiang Qimeng had been bullied.
Si Yuhuan initially had no intention of going. However, when Si Junyan repeatedly emphasized over the phone that Jian Xi had used Jian Sirun’s drug on Jiang Qimeng, leaving her bedridden and unable to move, his heart inevitably stirred. After all, he had experienced something similar himself. He knew all too well how potent Jian Sirun’s drugs were.
"Alright, I’ll go."
「One hour later.」
Si Junyan arrived in Jiang Qimeng’s hospital room, pushed in a wheelchair by his assistant. The moment he entered and saw Jiang Qimeng lying "weakly" on the hospital bed, his eyes nearly popped out. His anger surged. "Jian Xi, that bitch! She’s gone too far!"
Tears immediately welled in Jiang Qimeng’s eyes. "Junyan, I’m so sorry. I was going to get some special medicine for you, but I ran into Jian Xi, and she kidnapped me. She said that now that I’ve lost Yuhan’s favor and your protection, no one would even know if she killed me. Then she injected me with some unknown drug. I’m in so much pain I can’t even stand up. BOO HOO HOO."
She twisted the truth, crying hoarsely.
Si Yuhuan, who happened to push the door open at that moment, heard everything.
Seeing him, Jiang Qimeng visibly flinched.
She had only intended to complain to her backup, to constantly remind him of her struggles and how difficult her life was. Who would have thought Si Yuhuan himself would show up!
