After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Lingjun never expected things to take such a dramatic turn.

According to Lu Sijian's inner thoughts, Mu Liangyue once saved an old man, who gave her a bottle of medicine that could treat stomach ailments.

That night at the He family's house, Mu Liangyue gave him the medicine, but Lu Sijian intercepted it.

Later, Lu Sijian gave him the medicine again.

He was suspicious and didn't believe the pills would return to him so easily. He even took them to a professional institution for testing to confirm that the pills hadn't been tampered with.

However, at the same time, the testing results from the agency indicated that the medicine had no therapeutic effect on the stomach ailment.

Lu Lingjun once suspected that the story about the bottle of medicine might have been fabricated by Lu Sijian.

Until the farcical kidnapping incident, Lu Sijian went out to clear her head after breaking off the engagement, and then disappeared without a trace.

Mu Liangyue came to the Lu family every day to wait for Lu Sijian to return so she could apologize to him in person.

She didn't see Lu Sijian again, but one day she remembered that Lu Sijian had once asked her for a bottle of medicine.

Since it was what Lu Sijian wanted, Mu Liangyue would do whatever it took to satisfy her. She went back to the house she used to live in and searched everywhere, and she actually found it.

The next day, the bottle of medicine was placed in front of Lu Lingjun.

Mu Liangyue gave the medicine to Lu Lingjun, and also revealed the secret of her encounter with a mysterious old man.

She said that she didn't really believe in supernatural phenomena at first, which is why she didn't pay much attention to the medicine.

But since Miss Lu already knew about it, and the Second Young Master also asked her for it, she realized that perhaps this bottle of medicine was really important.

She probably misunderstood Lu Sijian's intentions, thinking that the siblings were very close and that the sister was asking for medicine for her brother.

Little did they know that Lu Sijian had no good intentions at all.

Lu Lingjun took out the bottle of pills and sent them for testing. The testing agency recently responded that the pills had no problems with their ingredients.

As for the treatment's effectiveness, the institution could not provide a definitive answer.

However, when Mu Liangyue brought the medicine over that day, she ate two pills in front of him.

He casually remarked that the medicine might be expired, and Mu Liangyue immediately swallowed the pills without hesitation.

If it were someone else, Lu Lingjun might have doubts.

But Mu Liangyue would never harm him.

He poured out a pill and swallowed it, then immediately showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lingchen asked, a little nervous.

"No, the medicine works very well, I feel much better." Lu Lingjun came back to his senses.

The rich aroma of the medicine seemed to linger on the tip of my tongue. The medicine was working, and my stomach pain was indeed greatly relieved.

I felt a warm, comforting sensation all over my body, as if my long-ailing body was finally relaxing.

Lu Lingchen was relieved. He took the porcelain bottle and examined it for a moment. "This porcelain bottle is an antique and it's not cheap."

The fact that such an expensive porcelain bottle was used to store the pills shows that the pills were not ordinary.

No wonder the medicine was so effective.

Lu Lingchen is a very aloof person, but this time he was genuinely happy for his older brother. "Brother, I really hope your stomach ailment gets better soon."

It wasn't until Lu Lingbo collapsed that he realized he hadn't been entirely using his two older brothers.

After all, he was her older brother, with whom she had depended on since childhood; how could she possibly remain completely indifferent?

Looking at it this way, Lu Sijian is truly cold-blooded.

It's probably because the most pampered children from a young age are the ones who are most heartless.

"Big brother, you said..." Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Lingchen suddenly stopped talking.

It was Lin Yuxi who reminded Lu Lingjun that there was an urgent matter to be dealt with at the company.

Lu Lingjun was about to leave when he stopped and said, "Xiao Chen, you should also be more careful."

"I know, don't worry, brother," Lu Lingchen said.

According to Lu Sijian's inner thoughts, he would have his reputation ruined because of his hype about his father-son relationship, and then be poisoned and fall into a coma.

Lu Lingchen has recently reduced his workload and is keeping his distance from a senior colleague with whom he has a good relationship.

As for the poisoning, that's a tricky issue. After all, fame brings trouble, and he has many enemies.

However, only a few people are bold enough to poison someone. The other party must hate him so much that they would go to any lengths to do so, which narrows down the possibilities.

Not only that, Lu Lingchen also investigated the studio's employees, identified several suspicious individuals, and had their agents observe them secretly.

He is extra careful about what he eats and drinks on set, and he has even given up his daily iced Americano, drinking only mineral water.

Lu Lingchen knew, of course, that this wouldn't be foolproof. If given the chance, he would love to invite Lu Sijian to the film set to see if he could hear more accurate information.

-

When Lu Sijian returned to the hospital, it was already late at night.

When the nurse on duty saw her, her expression immediately became somewhat complicated, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

The hospital's schedule is early to bed and early to rise. Lu Lingchen probably had experience accompanying patients at the hospital, and when they made their rounds at ten o'clock, she specifically instructed them not to let anyone in.

The nurse was unsure whether "anyone" included Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian understood immediately from her expression; this meant she was even wary of herself.

She was about to leave when someone called her back.

The head nurse passed by the gate and saw Lu Sijian, and roughly understood what was going on.

She swiped her card to open the glass door and let Lu Sijian in.

She smiled apologetically as she walked, "I'm sorry, hospital rules stipulate that the doors are locked after 10 o'clock, so the nurses can't let us in. Please understand."

The head nurse thought it was normal for siblings to have some arguments. She saw it clearly: Lu Sijian cared a lot about her brother, and at that time, only she could keep Secretary Zhou and his group in check.

The methods used cannot be considered extreme, after all, you can't reason with bandits and thugs.

She liked Lu Sijian very much and didn't want to upset her, so she smoothed things over.

Lu Sijian knew, of course, that the hospital's regulations were just an excuse. After all, the He family had lavishly booked two entire floors of VIP wards at the hospital, and people were still coming and going from their floor late at night.

However, she accepted the head nurse's kindness.

The ward was pitch black.

The maid who was keeping watch over him slept by the door, snoring loudly. Inside the cubicle, Lu Lingchen slept soundly with an eye mask on, completely undisturbed.

After all, being an actor means staying up all night waiting for scenes; on set, people always sleep wherever they're tired.

Lu Sijian's gaze fell on the hospital bed, but unexpectedly met a pair of eyes.

"..." She was startled and was about to cover her face when she heard Lu Lingbai whisper, "Ah Jian?"

Lu Sijian stopped what she was doing, hesitated, and asked, "Second Brother?"

"Ah Jian, it really is you!" Lu Lingbo exclaimed in surprise as he immediately jumped out of bed.

He slammed into the railing with a loud bang, startling him so much that he held his breath.

After a moment, when she realized that neither Lu Lingchen nor the servants reacted, she carefully and gently tugged at the hem of Lu Sijian's clothes.

Her voice was aggrieved and bewildered: "Jian, I've been waiting for you to come to me for so long."

Lu Sijian's expression stiffened: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Wasn't he out of control because he saw himself?

Even Lu Sijian had to admit that she had caused Lu Lingbai too much psychological trauma.

He probably sees himself as a serial killer.

Lu Lingbo shook his head slightly. "I'm not afraid. You're A-Jian, the best sister in the world."

Lu Sijian was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not okay."
