At night, Yang Xining tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because of what happened to Lu Xinghan during the day.
She stood up and stood quietly on the open-air balcony, the breeze gently caressing her face.
She sighed.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the mobile phone placed beside him.
She gently picked up the phone and pressed the power button.
After a while, a series of alert sounds rang out from the phone.
She glanced at the screen and saw Tianlin and Yanhui, who had left several missed calls.
And dozens of text messages sent by Lu Xinghan.
However, she had no mind to check the messages. Her fingers moved quickly across the screen, blacklisting Lu Xinghan's number.
Just as she put down her phone, she suddenly heard a faint groan, which was full of pain and struggle.
She listened attentively.
Immediately realizing that the sound came from Qi Lin's room, she immediately opened the door and walked quickly towards Qi Lin's room.
Before she even got close to the room, she heard Simba's voice: "Master, should I go call Master Ning over?"
Yang Xining's heart was in suspense.
But the next second, she clearly heard Qi Lin's refusal: "No, I can't let my brother know... I'm addicted to drugs."
Drug addiction???
Yang Xining's mind went blank in an instant.
She couldn't believe her ears, let alone accept this fact.
How could Qi Lin, the sunny and healthy boy in her mind, be related to drug addiction?
Shocked, she pushed open Qi Lin's door without hesitation.
The two people in the room were surprised to see her suddenly break in.
Qi Lin's face turned even paler, with a hint of guilt and panic in his eyes.
He tried to explain, but his voice was extremely weak: "Brother... why are you here..."
Yang Xining just felt that these words were too familiar.
During the day, didn’t Lu Xinghan ask her the same question with a guilty look on his face?
"Qi Lin... I heard everything. Are you... are you..." Yang Xining couldn't say that word.
Qi Lin opened his eyes and looked at Yang Xining's anxious face, a trace of guilt and pain flashed in his eyes.
He said with difficulty: "Brother... I... I'm sorry..."
Yang Xining's heart sank suddenly. She knew that what Qi Lin was going to say next would be a huge blow.
really……
"I... I'm addicted to drugs..." Qi Lin's voice was trembling and despairing.
When Yang Xining heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
She couldn't believe her ears, her head was already buzzing.
Looking at Qi Lin's painful expression, her heart was filled with anger and disappointment.
"How could you...how could you get infected with this stuff?" Yang Xining's voice was almost shouting.
Qi Lin lowered his head and remained silent.
He knew that he couldn't explain all this to Yang Xining.
"You guys really disappoint me."
After saying that, Yang Xining immediately turned around and left, she rushed out of Qi Lin's villa.
Qi Lin felt that his brother was very angry.
If I chase her now, it will only make her angrier.
"Simba, send someone to protect my brother's safety."
Simba nodded and hurried out.
Qi Lin lowered his eyes, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
He had planned to get rid of the suffocating drug addiction as soon as possible.
Appeared in front of my brother with a brand new look.
But now, this beautiful wish has turned into nothing the moment I knew it in advance.
Qi Lin looked at the ceiling with empty eyes and sighed silently.
There is no brother's scent.
There is a strange smell in the air.
It seems that something is different.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the incense burner on the counter.
That was his special habit before going to bed in recent years. He would always light a stove of spices, and the faint fragrance would accompany him into his dreams.
However, today, he clearly felt that the taste of the spices was a little unusual.
Qi Lin slowly stood up and walked towards the incense burner.
He carefully observed the spices in the incense burner and found that their color was different from the ones he usually used, deeper and richer.
He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Could it be that someone had tampered with the spice?
He carefully picked up the incense burner and shook it gently.
Suddenly, a stronger aroma came to his nose, making him frown.
He knew the origin and quality of the spice very well, and such a change would never occur.
He immediately sensed something fishy going on.
He called the butler and several servants.
"Who of you has touched the incense burner in my room?" Qi Lin's voice was cold and serious. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone in front of him.
The housekeeper and the servants looked at each other.
The housekeeper bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Master, your incense burner has always been replaced by Tian Ma, and no one else has interfered."
When Tian Ma heard the housekeeper's answer, her face turned pale instantly. Her hands trembled slightly, and her voice also trembled noticeably: "Young Master, it is indeed my responsibility. The spices in the incense burner were used up recently, so I took the initiative to use the spices I bought myself. I, I thought you would like this smell, so I replaced it without permission."
He stared at Tian Ma fiercely and asked, "Who allowed you to change the spices at will?"
Mother Tian was frightened by Qi Lin's momentum and trembled all over. She stammered, "Master, I'm sorry. I'm meddling in other people's business."
Qi Lin frowned, he knew that this was definitely not as simple as just changing the spices.
His face darkened and he continued to ask, "Where did you buy this spice?"
Mother Tian shivered, tried to recall, and replied: "I...I bought it from...from the market. It is said to be refreshing, so I thought I would give it a try."
Qi Lin did not relax his vigilance because of Tian Ma's explanation. He immediately ordered the housekeeper: "Take this spice to Doctor Bai to check its source and ingredients."
"Yes, Master."
"Also, take Tian Ma down first."
The butler did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately acted according to Qi Lin's instructions.
Qi Lin sat in the study, his heart surging with emotions.
He understood that his frequent relapses of drug addiction in the past few days were definitely not accidental, and someone must have done it on purpose.
In addition, my brother also found out about Lu Xinghan's Ningyuan affairs today.
Could it be...
Qi Lin suddenly didn’t dare to think about it.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He immediately called Simba and asked anxiously, "Simba, where is my brother now?"
Simba replied on the other end of the phone: "Master, Master Ning is wandering the streets alone now, and he looks very depressed."
"Follow closely, don't let her get into any accidents."
He hung up the phone and saw the housekeeper hurried in.
"Master," the butler said respectfully, "we have found out that this spice was mixed with a drug called 'Illusion'. This drug is silent and can induce a strong desire for drugs in the brain of the drug user, and it is extremely difficult to detect."
