Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155
Li Yan tried to vomit, but no matter how much she retched, she couldn’t bring it up.
It was only then that she remembered the pill dissolved immediately upon entering the mouth, which explained why it took effect in ten minutes.
Li Yan sat on the ground, ashen-faced, her heart dead like ashes, staring blankly at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang furrowed his brow, seeing the woman’s despondent look, indicating that the pill was not as simple as she claimed.
Zhao Xiaotang instinctively hid behind Zhang Yang, feeling that the woman might mutate the next second, like a zombie in a movie, suddenly resurrecting and attacking.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaotang became even more frightened, clutching Zhang Yang’s hand tightly.
After a brief moment of daze, Li Yan suddenly started laughing maniacally.
“Zhang Yang, you will regret this, you will pay for your actions, you just wait, your girlfriend is done for.”
A strong murderous intent erupted in Zhang Yang’s eyes, this woman was truly despicable, still daring to threaten him at this moment.
However, this time Zhang Yang didn’t act, he continued observing the woman’s reactions.
Judging by the situation, the drug’s effects were likely to manifest quickly, something Zhang Yang could anticipate.
The crazier this woman got, the more it illustrated her inner panic.
As time ticked by second by second, Zhang Yang glanced at the time, and by the eighth minute after the woman had taken the drug, she stopped cursing frantically.
Then she started falling into terror again, “Let me go, quickly let me go, I want to leave here.”
The woman began to struggle, trying to escape, but Zhang Yang had tied her up firmly, so she couldn’t break free.
“It’s over, what should I do? Who will save me? Heaven, earth, why has it come to this? I can’t go on…”
Hearing the woman’s incoherent words, Zhang Yang frowned even deeper.
When the ninth minute came, the woman began to show some reactions.
She had been struggling desperately, but now seemed to be growing weaker and weaker.
Like a poisoned beast, after a bout of struggle, it lay completely still.
The time reached the tenth minute, the woman stopped moving entirely, her eyes filled with despair as she stared at the ceiling.
Zhang Yang walked over to closely observe the woman, and with just one look, he saw that she appeared to have been anesthetized, seeming to have lost all strength.
After all, Zhang Yang was a doctor and was familiar with this state.
Could the pill be an anesthetic? Zhang Yang couldn’t help but think, then knelt down and felt the woman’s pulse.
A moment later, Zhang Yang’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the woman in disbelief.
Zhao Xiaotang, seeing Zhang Yang’s reaction, asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong? Did you find something?”
“By the way, do you even know how to treat patients?”
Zhao Xiaotang was unaware of Zhang Yang’s medical background, so she was quite surprised to see him checking the woman’s pulse.
Zhang Yang didn’t rush to answer and instead tapped and pressed around the woman’s limbs and joints.
He even took out a silver needle, pricking it into some acupoints.
Finally, Zhang Yang confirmed the woman’s current symptoms.
Then he looked at Zhao Xiaotang in disbelief and said, “I might have to thank you for saving my life.”
“This pill is truly vicious; after ingesting it, it can paralyze a person entirely, turning them into a high-level paraplegic.”
“It seems to affect the nerves, no wonder the woman was so tense earlier.”
Zhang Yang even felt a bit of lingering fear; if it weren’t for Zhao Xiaotang, he might be the one paralyzed now.
Not to mention, if Zhao Xiaotang had offered him a glass of wine or juice when he walked in, he would have drunk it without hesitation.
Zhao Xiaotang stared at Zhang Yang, speechless, “No way, it’s just a small pill, how can it turn someone into a paraplegic?”
“Could it be you misdiagnosed?” Zhao Xiaotang asked in disbelief.
Zhang Yang shook his head, “There’s basically no chance of a mistake, and think back, if it weren’t so potent, why would the woman fear taking it?”
Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s explanation, Zhao Xiaotang fully believed him.
However, Zhao Xiaotang wasn’t too frightened, as she never intended to give Zhang Yang the drug.
Still, since Zhang Yang brought it up, she decided to accept the favor.
“I’ll save your gratitude for later; what should we do with this woman now? Moreover, she seems incapable of revealing Xiao Man’s whereabouts.” Newest update provided by novel⦿fire.net
“By the way, she told me quite a lot before; they are very confident about the Xiao Man situation.”
“The woman said any efforts we make are in vain.”
“How about we take this woman to Guo Hailong? He might know something since they’re partners.”
Hearing Zhao Xiaotang’s suggestion, Zhang Yang instantly nodded in agreement.
He then said to the woman, “Is this what you call collaboration? Paralyze me and easily control me or use me to threaten Jin Tuantuan.”
“Your cooperation is quite sincere, I really underestimated you.”
Hearing this, Li Yan let out a bitter laugh, “And what if it is? If you had listened, we wouldn’t have gone this far.”
“It’s all your fault, Zhang Yang. Don’t think you’ve won this time; this is merely the beginning. As long as Xiao Man is with us, you can’t escape our hold.”
Zhang Yang grabbed the woman and slung her over his shoulder.
“Take me to Guo Hailong; we still have three hours before the Starlight Award’s opening ceremony, that should be enough.”
Zhao Xiaotang immediately nodded, leading the way they quickly arrived at the parking lot, started the car, and sped towards Guo Hailong’s villa.
The thirty-minute drive only took fifteen under Zhang Yang’s reckless driving.
For any traffic violations, Zhao Xiaotang could handle them later.
Upon reaching Guo Hailong’s villa, Zhang Yang asked Zhao Xiaotang, “That bastard didn’t do anything excessive to you, right?”
Clearly, if he had, Guo Hailong would be in trouble today.
Zhao Xiaotang shook her head, “He didn’t do anything, probably because he wanted to use me to get you to take the pill, so he didn’t dare harm me.”
“But I’m not sure if Guo Hailong is still here.”
Zhang Yang said, “We’ll only know if we go in and check.”
With that, Zhang Yang kicked the door open, not using much force yet breaking the expensive security door.
Zhao Xiaotang’s eyes sparkled, “So violent, I love it.”
