Lin You smiled and said, "You are quite considerate."

The main reason is that I think it is a bit rare for a grown man to prepare a Barbie doll for a little girl.

There is quite a contrast.

Li Cheng was very pleased with Lin You's praise. His handsome face was filled with gentleness, and he looked divinely bright.

"Thanks for the compliment." He chuckled.

"I've never heard that you have a younger sister, a real one?"

Li Cheng nodded. "She contracted this strange disease when she was three years old. Since then, she has been hidden by our Li family. Therefore, the outside world does not know that there is another young lady in the Li family."

"Where are your parents?" Lin You asked.

Li Cheng said calmly, "My father is in charge of overseas businesses, and my mother... has been sleeping in the cryostat for many years. She was also the first victim of Sisi's strange disease."

Lin You frowned. She had only seen Sisi's illness and her usual state in the video Li Cheng gave her.

Li Cheng didn't reveal much else.

It doesn't sound that simple today.

"Sisi's illness seems to be more serious than the symptoms you described to me, and there are some other things I don't know about." Lin You said in a calm voice.

She looked at Li Sisi and said, "She also has mental problems."

As he looked at Sisi, his eyes fell on her arm.

But I saw that her arm, above the wrist, was almost completely ulcerated.

There are rotten plant roots in the festering flesh and blood, and those roots seem to have grown in the rotten flesh and are constantly absorbing nutrients from the flesh and blood.

Her eyes also became cold and stern.

Li Cheng also looked at Sisi and nodded. "You are right. Her mind has remained at the level of a three-year-old. Today I will tell you everything about Sisi, except that you are a doctor."

He smiled, "It's also because you are the only one I trust."

Lin You was stunned.

How come she became the only person he trusted?

But she was indeed very interested in Li Sisi's illness.

Li Cheng began to explain, "We don't know how Sisi got this disease. On her third birthday, we held a birthday party for her. At the end of the party, she suddenly fainted and had a high fever. It was as high as 45 degrees Celsius and wouldn't come down no matter what we did."

"You should know that a child with a 45-degree fever is bound to be in trouble, but miraculously, her fever subsided. Not only did it subside, but as it did, her body began to fester, as you can see. Her face also changed, and some strange plant roots began to grow wantonly in her body, yet miraculously remained within her, drawing nutrients from her."

Li Cheng's tone grew increasingly grave as he spoke. "Not only that, anyone she touches will be instantly killed by the toxins released by the rotting plant roots in her body... My father immediately placed my mother in the freezer after she died. My father was lucky; he didn't have the chance to touch Sisi after she woke up... And I am the only one who won't be killed by the toxins in her body."

"We handled all those who were poisoned in a special way. Fortunately, there weren't many, and we gave their families a large sum of compensation, enough for them and several generations to live on.

But Sisi, I dare not let her contact anyone else, so I can only lock her in this manor.

Although there are many servants outside, Sisi is not allowed to leave her room until I come back."

He said slowly: "She can only communicate with others through the video in the room."

Lin You: "Her illness, you never consulted a doctor again?"

Li Cheng said calmly, "We've looked for it, but it's no use. And we don't dare to publicly seek medical treatment for this kind of illness. Once people know that our Li family has such a dangerous person, it will have a huge impact on both Sisi and our family. As for those people, they might even treat Sisi like a monster, take her to the research institute, and cut her open."

"So over the years, I have been investigating the source of this disease while secretly seeking medical treatment." When he said this, he looked at Lin You.

Lin You was looking at Li Sisi at this moment. "Did you find out anything?"

She knew that the people Li Cheng was talking about were probably those in the 737 department.

That is, people at the national level.

That's why I hid Li Sisi at home.

Li Cheng replied, "In recent years, there seems to be a person who uses this kind of poison in a mercenary group called Crow."

Lin You raised his head and looked at Li Cheng, "Do you suspect that it's that person?"

Li Cheng shook his head. "I don't know, but I checked the surveillance footage. It was a family dinner that night, and no outsiders were in or out. So, it should be related to him, but he wasn't the one who poisoned us."

Lin You was puzzled. "Logically speaking, harming a child is meaningless to anyone. Sisi is young, and she's not the heir to the Li family..."

At this point, her eyes suddenly turned cold. "Actually, you were the one who was supposed to be poisoned? Did Sisi get poisoned by accident?"
