Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Uncle Guo, what's going on?" Li Baiyang, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, climbed out of bed with a tired face, walked to the door with heavy steps, and slowly opened the door of the guest room.

During this period of time, Li Baiyang has been busy running around in Suzhou. In order to capture that group of criminals in one fell swoop, he has not had a good night's sleep for many days.

At this moment, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had thought that he could take this opportunity to have a good sleep, but he did not expect that he would be abruptly awakened not long after his sweet dream began.

Minister Guo, who was standing outside the door, saw Li Boyang looking so sleepy, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but he still introduced: "This is Doctor Xu, I specially asked him to come and help you check your physical condition."

Although this was the statement that Minister Guo and Xu Changping had previously agreed upon, looking at Li Baiyang's expression, Minister Guo sincerely hoped that Xu Changping would show it to him.

When Li Baiyang heard this, he quickly waved his hand, scratched his head shyly and said, "Don't bother me so much, I really just didn't get enough rest, there's nothing serious wrong with me."

Although he said this, his bloodshot eyes and pale, haggard face had already betrayed his poor physical condition.

Seeing this, Xu Changping, who was standing by, knew what was going on without even taking Li Baiyang's pulse - the man in front of him must have been infected!

So, he turned to look at Minister Guo and said in a serious tone: "Minister, his condition looks quite serious now. I need to give him a thorough examination."

When Minister Guo heard this, he immediately understood the deep meaning of Xu Changping's words and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, then please take a closer look at him."

Li Boyang had no choice but to sit down and hold out his hand for Xu Changping to feel his pulse. Soon after Xu Changping put his finger on it, his face became serious.

Seeing this, Guo Bu felt nervous and asked hurriedly, "Doctor Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Changping slowly put down Li Boyang's hand and said, "This is not simply overwork, but a poison that will slowly corrode his spirit and gradually drive him into a state of madness."

Xu Changping's guess was correct. Li Baiyang had indeed been drugged by the kind of drug that can drive a person crazy.

Li Boyang and Guo Bu were both shocked. Li Boyang frowned and said, "How is this possible? I have always been with everyone and have never been apart. Could it be that everyone has been poisoned?"

Minister Guo was also full of anger: "Doctor Xu, do you have a way to detoxify?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Changping said, "This poison is easy to cure. I can prepare the antidote right now. However, this is a poisoning caused by long-term erosion. Can I see what you brought back?"

Li Baiyang stood up suddenly, looked at Guo Bu and said hesitantly: "I..."

Seeing his expression, Guo Bu knew what he meant and nodded directly, saying, "You can tell Doctor Xu about everything. He is one of us."

In the room, Xu Changping didn't need to do anything. Li Baiyang took out all the things he brought back and placed them on the bed.

Looking at the various items on the bed and the clothes he had worn but not yet washed, Li Baiyang subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to look directly at the scene in front of him.

However, what comforted him a little was that Xu Changping's expression did not change noticeably because of these mixed items. He was just concentrating on looking for something.

As time went by, the heat on Li Baiyang's face gradually subsided. Although he was still a little embarrassed, at least he was no longer as embarrassed as before.

Xu Changping checked the items that Li Baiyang had found one by one, but unfortunately he did not find anything unusual.

The expression on his face gradually became serious. If there was no poison hidden in these items, then the source of the poison might be more hidden.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Changping raised his head and asked seriously, "Comrade Li Baiyang, think about whether there is anything else you haven't taken out, or whether you ate something for a long time when you were in Suzhou."

Li Baiyang frowned and tried to recall: "No, I took out all my things. When I was investigating in Suzhou, the food I ate was all arranged by the team, and I didn't come into contact with anything special."

"When you were in Suzhou, did you feel any discomfort, such as being too excited and not wanting to sleep, or having a bad temper and not being able to control it?" Xu Changping continued to ask.

Li Baiyang's face darkened. "During the latter part of my investigation in Suzhou, I basically didn't get much sleep in order to meet deadlines. But my temper did get a lot more irritable. I thought it was because I didn't get enough sleep."

Xu Changping pondered for a moment, then asked, "How was your rest here last night?"

"Not very good. I just fell asleep and you came knocking on the door." Li Baiyang said with a frown.

Didn’t get much sleep!

Xu Changping looked at Li Baiyang, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He turned around and said, "Minister Guo, can you find a set of clean clothes for Comrade Li?"

Minister Guo didn't know what Xu Changping meant, but he nodded anyway: "Okay, I have some washed clothes in my bedroom, I'll go get them for him."

"I'll go get you an antidote. Minister Guo will bring your clothes over later and after you change, take off this one for me to check." After Xu Changping said this to Li Baiyang, he turned and left the guest room.

Returning to the guest room where Guo Baihui was staying, Xu Changping picked up the medicine box that he had just placed on the ground and walked into the living room.

Opening the medicine box, Xu Changping took out some medicinal herbs and began to prepare the antidote with skillful movements.

After preparing the medicinal materials, Xu Changping did not call anyone. He went straight to the kitchen to find the casserole used to boil medicine for Guo Baihui, put the medicinal materials in and started to boil.

Just as the medicine in the casserole was boiling, Li Boyang came in wearing clean clothes and said politely, "Doctor Xu, I have taken off my clothes and put them in the guest room. Can you come over and take a look?"

He came here following the smell of Chinese medicine. While Xu Changping was away, Director Guo had already introduced him to Xu Changping's identity. Knowing that he was Guo Baihui's attending physician, Li Baiyang couldn't help but become respectful.

Xu Changping stood up, nodded and said, "Then I'll go over and take a look. You can look at this decoction for a while."

After saying that, Xu Changping quickly left the kitchen and went to the guest room where Li Baiyang was resting, ready to check if there was any problem with the clothes he was wearing.
