Due to the inconvenience of carrying the ingredients, Lu Zihao finally decided to have Qiao Lin deliver the ingredients to Doctor Sun while he and Xiaofang went to look for a cat.
After walking towards the woods with a flashlight for a while, Xiaofang stopped. She saw the bowl she had left next to a cat's nest. Inside was a messy pile of food that Xiao Yunyi and the others had eaten that night.
Xiaofang meowed a few times in the direction of the forest, and the two waited there for a while. Not long after, a black kitten walked out and walked up to Xiaofang, intimately rubbing against her feet.
She picked Cat up and put her down beside the food bowl. Pointing at the untouched rice, she said gently, "Cat, why haven't you eaten tonight?"
Hearing this, who knew that Cat would explode all of a sudden? She arched her back and hid far away from the food bowl. Xiaofang could not release her grip in time and was cut ruthlessly on her arm.
"Hiss!" She couldn't help but cry out in pain before angrily pointing at the cat. "What happened to you? Are you crazy tonight? You dare to scratch me without eating? "
"It should be a reminder that there's something wrong with these things."
Lu Zihao, who was watching the whole activity, spoke up.
Previously, he had heard people say that animals were intelligent and had the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, but he had never seen one. But today, the cat hadn't eaten, and it told others not to touch it. It should be due to this instinct.
"Remind me?"
Xiaofang said in astonishment. Then, she suddenly recalled that they were all criticizing the chef, saying that Lan Xi's sudden incident was related to him. But what about something to do with a chef? Food, of course.
Xiaofang suddenly stood up and distanced herself from the food bowl on the ground. Lu Zihao took out the sealed bag from his pocket, poured the food in the bowl into the bag, and then thought for a while before taking the bowl back with him.
"Let's go." Lu Zihao looked at Xiaofang and said.
Xiaofang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Lu, can I bring Cat back as well?"
Glancing at the black cat licking its paws leisurely, Lu Zihao said, "That depends on whether it is willing to go back with you."
With that, he left first. He heard a soft "Mi, Mi, Mi" sound behind him, mixed with a few cat sounds.
After passing by the front gate of the villa, Lu Zihao went directly to Doctor Sun's place from the other direction. The latter was in the process of discussing with his assistant what he had extracted from Lan Xi's stomach. But the most useful thing was still the leftover food that Lu Zihao had brought over.
Hearing the process of Lu Zihao finding the leftover food, everyone sighed in admiration at Lan Xi's good luck.
In particular, Doctor Sun was the one who lamented the most: "It was all thanks to Mr Xiao bringing her back in time. If it had been a little later, she might have died from respiratory failure."
Hearing the doctor's words, Jolin, who had just calmed down, was once again in suspense.
She thought for a moment and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Something had happened to Lan Xi, and it had happened in her own room. At that time, she was the only one in the room. This illness was so urgent and fierce that in a short period of time, her limbs became weak, and even caused her to fall unconscious.
If Xiao Yunyi hadn't happened to go looking for Lan Xi, no one would have known that she died in his room.
"You're right." Xiao Yunyi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Everyone looked over. Their eyes were complicated, but they all had a hint of worry in them.
"How is Lan Xi now?" She asked directly.
"She has already fallen asleep. I only came over after she had fallen asleep." After looking at Doctor Sun, Xiao Yunyi said, "I found an assistant of yours to look after her."
The latter nodded in understanding.
Xiao Yunyi looked at Qiao Lin once more. "Your analysis is correct. The person behind this should be the one that wants Lan Xi to die without her realizing it. After all, this disease is very severe and has a short duration of attack, and we don't know if we can detect it yet. If we can't find out what happened, then Lan Xi's death will be an unsolved case. "
"But he didn't expect …"
"He didn't expect that I would come to find Lan Xi so late."
Xiao Yunyi's face was expressionless, but his words were very straightforward. Everyone didn't know how to respond.
Ignoring the strange expressions of others, Xiao Yunyi asked Doctor Sun, "When will you be able to get the results?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Alright." Xiao Yunyi nodded, then shifted his gaze back to Lu Zihao and Qiao Lin. "When you went back earlier, did you notice anything wrong?" Or was it the wrong person? "
The two of them thought for a moment before shaking their heads. "Other than the fact that the chef was a little flustered when he was questioned by us, everyone else was very surprised at what happened to Lan Xi. And most of all, they were afraid that you might anger them and implicate them."
When Xiao Yunyi heard this, he was a little speechless and couldn't help but wonder what kind of image he had in their hearts and what did he have to be implicated in.
Qiao Lin also realized that there was something wrong with her words and could only smile awkwardly at Xiao Yunyi.
"What about Mu Yaran?" Xiao Yunyi hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is there anything wrong with her?"
This time, the two of them shook their heads even faster. They only paid attention to the kitchen and ignored Mu Yaran's existence.
However, what made them curious was that Mu Yaran actually didn't mock Lan Xi when she was in trouble because of her hatred towards her. This was abnormal.
Jolin frowned, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
If Xiao Yunyi saw her and asked her to say anything, he would definitely judge.
Qiao Lin said that she went to deliver medicine for Mu Yaran after dinner. Furthermore, Mu Yaran specifically told her to do so after dinner. However, when he entered Mu Yaran's room, she actually looked down on him and purposely made him do all this for her.
As she spoke to here, Qiao Lin felt a little awkward. She had the feeling that she was complaining, but Xiao Yunyi told her to continue.
After Qiao Lin did some things for her as requested by Mu Yaran, she was not allowed to leave. Instead, she spoke some irrelevant words to her, as though she was stalling for time. Qiao Lin felt this feeling not because of Lan Xi, but because Mu Yaran had checked her watch many times in her room, making her feel that something was amiss.
When Qiao Lin finally left Mu Yuran's room, she heard Xiao Yunyi's cry for help.
Jolin was shocked by Kieran's description.
In his mind, he had already treated Mu Yaran as the one who harmed Lan Xi. He just didn't know what Xiao Yunyi would think.
Qiao Lin secretly observed Xiao Yunyi, but discovered that he was still expressionless. Only the bulge on his forehead showed that his heart was not at peace.
