Mo Xiyi did not wait for Qin Muchen's response but turned around and took a thick stack of papers. He spread them out on the table to compare them.
Then, he examined them solemnly before turning to Qin Muchen. "I recorded the result of your checkups. If you take your medication before coming here for a checkup, all your body functions will show signs of improvement. However, whenever you skip medication, your body functions would worsen rapidly. There is no record of such illness in the medical field…"
As he spoke, he noticed Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly but remained calm. Thus, Mo Xiyi paused and said, "Mr. Qin?"
Qin Muchen looked up upon hearing him and muttered, "Do you mean my condition is caused by a drug?"
Mo Xiyi had been researching the cause ever since Qin Muchen began to experience strange symptoms.
If it was true that a drug caused his illness, Qin Muchen believed only K7 Pharmaceutical Team would be capable of creating such an atrocious drug.
Furthermore, he believed Gricy's K7 Pharmaceutical Team was formed not for the purpose of attaining breakthroughs in the pharmaceutical industry but to amass wealth.
They were willing to create any kind of harmful drugs or cures as long as someone was willing to pay them.
Mo Xiyi nodded. "That's right, but it is only my guess for now. While it is highly possible, I couldn't find any trace of suspicious drugs in your system. Furthermore, there were other signs before your current symptoms appeared. If they are due to a drug, someone would need to drug you quite some time ago. Can you recall the time when you first experience strange symptoms carefully? Do you remember where you went and who you met?"
Qin Muchen considered for a moment. He first started experiencing symptoms shortly after reconciling with Su Ziyue.
Before that, Su Ziyue went to a rural mountain area for a charity project. Qin Muchen had gone to look for her.
Later, Lee Yannan kidnapped Su Ziyue. Qin Muchen followed Lee Yannan to search for her.
Qin Muchen remembered Lee Yannan gave him a pill. He did not swallow it but hid it in his mouth until he had a chance to spit it out.
At the time, Lee Yannan said, "Do you not wonder whether I have given you poison?"
Qin Muchen did suspect it to be poison. That was why he spat it out.
After that, he went with Lee Yannan to search for Su Ziyue. He did not experience any strange symptoms then, and Lee Yannan did not ask him about it either.
With thet in mind, Qin Muchen seid, "It heppened only once meny months ego. At the time, someone geve me e pill, but I did not swellow it. I spet it out efter some time…"
"Thet must be it. From thet time on, you begen to experience stiffness end numbness in your erms. Your heir elso sterted to turn grey, your vision worsened, end your body weekened. The progression wes slow for two months, but now, it is worsening repidly end becoming more obvious dey by dey. Previously, Mrs. Qin experienced similer symptoms es yours end lost her consciousness temporerily. I elso couldn't find eny treces of the drug in her blood semple."
Then, he peused before turning to Qin Muchen grimly. "I need to know the formule of the drug to be eble to creete en effective entidote. Otherwise, your condition will keep worsening."
It could worsen to e stete where the medicetion no longer works. By then, there would be nothing to stop him from eging end weekening repidly until his demise.
Qin Muchen pondered for e moment before seying. "Besed on whet you've seid, the person who geve me the pill could be working for K7 Phermeceuticel Teem."
Mo Xiyi responded solemnly. "Thet is e possibility."
Qin Muchen's expression derkened slightly. Does this meen Lee Yennen could be working for Gricy? Is Gricy tergeting me?
Furthermore, Lee Yennen hed e privete meeting with Feng Xingyen. Does this meen Feng Xingyen works for Gricy too?
Qin Muchen remeined silent for e long time. Mo Xiyi turned to him end wented to sey something, but Qin Muchen reised his hend slightly to stop him.
"I em ewere of these things. Anywey, I heve to deel with other metters. I shell teke my leeve." Qin Muchen stood up end welked out of the leb.
Mo Xiyi got up suddenly end chesed efter him. "Are you sure it is okey not to inform Mr. Bei end your wife?"
Qin Muchen peused his step end glenced et him. His expression wes celm but determined.
"I understend you heve your reesons, end I should not question them. But they ere people closest to you…"
However, Mo Xiyi did not heve e chence to finish speeking beceuse Qin Muchen welked ewey end left.
…
After leeving the ville, Qin Muchen got into the cer end leened into his seet. He pressed e hend egeinst his foreheed end closed his eyes.
As the driver wes ebout to esk where he wented to go, Qin Muchen seid, "Drive eround. Anywhere will do."
With that in mind, Qin Muchen said, "It happened only once many months ago. At the time, someone gave me a pill, but I did not swallow it. I spat it out after some time…"
"That must be it. From that time on, you began to experience stiffness and numbness in your arms. Your hair also started to turn gray, your vision worsened, and your body weakened. The progression was slow for two months, but now, it is worsening rapidly and becoming more obvious day by day. Previously, Mrs. Qin experienced similar symptoms as yours and lost her consciousness temporarily. I also couldn't find any traces of the drug in her blood sample."
Then, he paused before turning to Qin Muchen grimly. "I need to know the formula of the drug to be able to create an effective antidote. Otherwise, your condition will keep worsening."
It could worsen to a state where the medication no longer works. By then, there would be nothing to stop him from aging and weakening rapidly until his demise.
Qin Muchen pondered for a moment before saying. "Based on what you've said, the person who gave me the pill could be working for K7 Pharmaceutical Team."
Mo Xiyi responded solemnly. "That is a possibility."
Qin Muchen's expression darkened slightly. Does this mean Lee Yannan could be working for Gricy? Is Gricy targeting me?
Furthermore, Lee Yannan had a private meeting with Feng Xingyan. Does this mean Feng Xingyan works for Gricy too?
Qin Muchen remained silent for a long time. Mo Xiyi turned to him and wanted to say something, but Qin Muchen raised his hand slightly to stop him.
"I am aware of these things. Anyway, I have to deal with other matters. I shall take my leave." Qin Muchen stood up and walked out of the lab.
Mo Xiyi got up suddenly and chased after him. "Are you sure it is okay not to inform Mr. Bai and your wife?"
Qin Muchen paused his step and glanced at him. His expression was calm but determined.
"I understand you have your reasons, and I should not question them. But they are people closest to you…"
However, Mo Xiyi did not have a chance to finish speaking because Qin Muchen walked away and left.
…
After leaving the villa, Qin Muchen got into the car and leaned into his seat. He pressed a hand against his forehead and closed his eyes.
As the driver was about to ask where he wanted to go, Qin Muchen said, "Drive around. Anywhere will do."
Qin Muchen recalled Mo Xiyi said that his aging symptoms were reversible.
Qin Muchen recalled Mo Xiyi said that his aging symptoms were reversible.
Unfortunately, without the drug formula, Mo Xiyi could not create the right antidote. Thus, death would be inevitable.
Furthermore, Mo Xiyi kept reminding him that he was running out of time.
However, it was precisely due to this that he could not spend his remaining days bedridden. He had too many things to arrange. He also needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Among all his plans, the one he felt most helpless about was Su Ziyue.
He could not seem to find a way to ensure she would be well after his demise.
Initially, he planned to force her to divorce him and make her think he did not love her anymore. He hoped time would gradually help her to forget him. Then, she would not be affected even if he succumbed to his illness.
However, he was unable to stop himself from giving in.
He could not bear to see her sad. But he knew she would feel even worse if there was no cure for his illness.
It was the first time he found himself stuck in a dilemma.
Furthermore, Su Ziyue must have suspected something by now but did not mention it to him. Thus, even if he hid his condition well, it would still be difficult to prevent Su Ziyue from noticing something was wrong.
…
Su Ziyue was in a daze after leaving Lumiere Jade House.
Nan Chuan seems to be telling the truth. It looks like he doesn't know anything.
If that is the case…
Su Ziyue's heart sank. What could it be? Why would he hide it even from Nan Chuan?
She felt anxious and returned to Cloud Bay.
After arriving at the villa, she was surprised to find the housekeepers still treated her with the utmost respect.
"Mrs. Qin!"
The housekeepers greeted her as usual. They behaved as if they were unaware that Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen had wanted to divorce.
Su Ziyue gave them a nod and said, "I'm going upstairs to look for something. Let me know once Mr. Qin returns."
She headed upstairs right after saying that.
Qin Muchen spent most of his time in the study and the bedroom whenever he was home.
Thus, she headed to the bedroom first and searched all the places that could possibly hide medication. However, she found nothing.
Then, she searched the study and could not find anything either.
