Chapter 77
77 Something’s Wrong
“No!” At this moment, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng said at the same time.
At that, the two of them looked at each other.
“Did you also notice something wrong?” Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng asked in unison.
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “Wang Mingjiang, was that your first time going to the restaurant called Spring Love, or have you been there many times before?”
Wang Mingjiang thought about it carefully and said, “That should have been my first time!”
“That’s not right! When you went for the first time, the waiter didn’t ask anything and directly served you wine, peanuts, and so on. Previously, I thought that you two knew each other, or that you were a regular there, so the other party knew what you wanted without you even ordering anything!” Li Xiaoran told her what she had discovered.
Wang Mingjiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he really remembered this strange thing.
“It’s not just this! Think about it carefully. Why did you happen to hear two servants talking about the death of your adoptive parents outside your house when you woke up? Also, you were alone and didn’t know how you left the Wu family. Isn’t that even stranger? The Wu family is so big, and you’re a living person. If you ran out, wouldn’t they have seen you? In the end, you ran out, and Minister Wu sent people everywhere to look for you, but he couldn’t find you!”
“But you appeared in the restaurant called Spring Love and we bumped into you!” Luo Cheng also raised a problem.
Hearing this, Luo Han suddenly thought of something and came to Wang Mingjiang’s side.
“Move your hair and lower your head so I can see the back of your neck!”
Wang Mingjiang didn’t understand what Luo Han wanted to do and subconsciously looked at Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran nodded, indicating that Luo Han was trustworthy.
So Wang Mingjiang turned his back on Luo Han, lifted his hair, and lowered his head.
When Wang Mingjiang lowered his head, a black bruise appeared on his neck.
Upon closer inspection, the bruise was shaped like a moth.
“Indeed! It’s as I suspected!” Luo Han said when he saw the shape.
Luo Cheng also walked over and took a closer look. Then, his gaze landed on Wang Mingjiang’s neck.
“Is he poisoned?”
“Yes!” Luo Han nodded and said, “Do you remember the other day, when I went to your house to look for you, hoping you could help me?”
Luo Cheng nodded, then understood something.
“This has something to do with what happened to you before?”
“Yes, but I can’t figure out why the other party attacked the Wu family!” Luo Han said in confusion.
“Is there a cure for this poison?” Wang Mingjiang turned around and asked.
Luo Han glanced at Wang Mingjiang and shook his head. “We haven’t found an antidote for this poison yet. However, I know a doctor who can suppress the poison in your body. Have you been in a daze often these past few days and forget things easily? See if you can remember when you started acting like this? Or when you noticed that something was wrong with you?”
Wang Mingjiang recalled carefully, bit by bit, as if recalling this kind of thing was very strenuous for him.
“I don’t know! How come I don’t know? Oh right, I remember now. I think something was wrong the day after I came to the Wu family. My personality became much more irritable. At that time, I thought that I was like this because I was worried about my sister. Thinking about it, I was indeed very adnormal at that time!”
“When did you return to the Wu family?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
“Just ten days ago!” Wang Mingjiang thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps, it was thirteen days ago? Strange, I don’t remember it clearly!”
“There’s no need to ask. After being poisoned by this poison called a moth to a flame, many people look disoriented and their memories become blurry. He remembers that matter because of his obsession. As for the rest, his memories will become more and more unclear over time!” Luo Han shook his head.
“This poison is called a moth to a flame?” Li Xiaoran felt a little strange when she heard this name, so she asked.
“Yes, I named it. Because people who are poisoned by this kind of poison will continue to do what they’re obsessed with as long as they have the obsession. If their obsession isn’t removed, they’ll definitely continue to do this! Even if they lose their lives doing this, they still won’t feel pain or fear. They’ll do it without hesitation!” Luo Han told her what he knew.
As soon as he said this, Li Shun and his family sensed that something was wrong.
“Brother Luo, if that’s really the case, Brother Wang didn’t do anything to hurt himself after coming back with my sister and brother-in-law! I think he was very normal when he was with us, and he wasn’t acting paranoid!” Li Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
“No, Xiao Qing, you’re wrong! He’s indeed paranoid! He treats your sister as his sister!” Luo Cheng thought of something and pointed out the root of the problem.
Wang Mingjiang was a little surprised.
But on second thought, that seemed to be true.
“That’s right. When Miss Li appeared, I felt as if I saw my sister! Therefore, after those things happened, I willingly signed the contract and followed you back!” Wang Mingjiang said.
Luo Han thought of something and said, “How about this? I’ll find a doctor to suppress the poison for you first! By the way, I still have to inform Minister Wu.”
“No, don’t inform him! I don’t like the Wu family. I don’t want to go back!” Unexpectedly, when Wang Mingjiang heard that he was going back to the Wu family, he became very resistant.
Li Xiaoran sensed Wang Mingjiang’s resistance to the Wu family. She thought for a moment and said, “Wang Mingjiang must have been poisoned by the Wu family! Perhaps the eldest son of the Wu family was also poisoned previously. If Minister Wu really values this son, he probably doesn’t want anything to happen to him again! Luo Han, why don’t you think of a way to lure Minister Wu over alone? Perhaps that can help us understand many things!”
Luo Han considered the feasibility of doing so.
“I think this is the most appropriate thing to do! Look at Wang Mingjiang’s current state. It’s indeed unsuitable for him to return to the Wu family! By the way, do you think the people who ambushed me on the way were targeting Wang Mingjiang?” Luo Cheng suddenly thought of a possibility.
Luo Han immediately became alert when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“That’s right. I wouldn’t have thought of that if you hadn’t!”
