The bedroom reeked of cigarettes and alcohol.

Nan Zhi pressed the switch and the dark room became bright immediately.

Qiao Yanze, who had been injected with a tranquilizer, had fallen asleep.

The bodyguards carried him to bed.

His forehead was bleeding from knocking against the wall, and the red liquid made his thin and haggard face look slightly frightening.

Nan Zhi could not help recalling the shock when she first saw Qiao Yanze in Ning City.

That devilish handsomeness, unruliness were full of charm.

But the person lying on the bed now…

A lot of stubble had grown out from his jaw, there were dark shadows under his eyes and there was barely any flesh on his thin face.

He looked distraught, disheveled and haggard.

Seeing Qiao Yanze looking like that, Madam Qiao leaned over the bed and cried. An Feng also cried silently, with tears sliding down her cheeks.

Nan Zhi’s eyes turned red and she sniffed, but she forced herself to be calm.

“Grandma, let the doctor take Uncle’s blood for a test.”

Nan Zhi went to the bedside table and picked up Qiao Yanze’s phone.

Seeing the number he had been calling, there was an indescribable anger in Nan Zhi’s heart.

Her intuition told her that Xiao Ying had something to do with Uncle becoming like this.

Nan Zhi called the number.

But it showed that it was turned off.

The doctor took Qiao Yanze’s blood back to test and the result was obtained very quickly.

“In Young Master Qiao’s blood, there is indeed a drug called ‘Die’.” The doctor frowned and continued, “‘Die’ is an intense drug developed by drug dealers and is a drug that is hard to quit. Rumor has it that several hundred kinds of drugs have been blended together to form it and is highly toxic. It is a forbidden substance in our country and one could be sentenced by having more than ten grams.”

The blood in Nan Zhi’s body turned cold.

Madam Qiao could not accept this and was furious. “There must be a mistake. Yanze knows that this kind of thing must not be touched. Once touched, he would die. How could he?”

“Madam, the test results would not be wrong!”

Madam Qiao wanted to say something when the butler reported, “Madam, Miss Zhi, Young Master is awake.”

Nan Zhi held Madam Qiao’s hand. “Grandma, let’s go and see Uncle.”

Qiao Yanze leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes dull, and his complexion haggard. Hearing people come in, he lifted his eyes and looked towards Madam Qiao and Nan Zhi.

As Madam Qiao looked at Qiao Yanze’s disheveled look, tears kept falling from her eyes.

“Yanze, what on earth are you doing? Isn’t it just a Xiao Ying? Are you trying to ruin yourself just because you didn’t get married?”

Qiao Yanze pursed his bloodless lips and looked at the gauze on Madam Qiao’s forehead, saying hoa.r.s.ely, “Mom, I’m sorry.”

“I don’t want you to apologize. You know we Qiao family never touch those things, why are you so silly?”

“Mom, I want to talk to Zhizhi for a while.”

Madam Qiao looked at Qiao Yanze helplessly and in pain. She then left, wiping the tears from her eyes.

When Qiao Yanze and Nan Zhi were the only ones left in the room, Qiao Yanze patted the side of the bed. “Zhizhi, come here.”

Nan Zhi sat by the bed with her eyes red.

Qiao Yanze looked at Nan Zhi carefully. “I frightened you, didn’t I? Did I hurt you?”

Nan Zhi sniffed and felt like crying.
