Netizens’ reaction after seeing this announcement:? ? ?

What the hell is Qimu Pharmaceutical doing?

What Antidote Version 1.0? Has it been approved by the state?

Although Qimu Pharmaceutical has been very popular in the past two years, because it has only been established for such a short period of time, no one can associate it with attributes such as ‘brand and authority’.

This time, Cheng's poisoning incident endangered the general public. In everyone's mind, only the government or an authoritative pharmaceutical brand can solve this disaster.

But now, Qimu Pharmaceutical, an Internet celebrity brand established less than two years ago, has issued such an announcement so openly...

Isn't this really just trying to gain popularity?

Netizens are very concerned about this poisoning incident and are worried about the compatriots who were poisoned. In such an anxious and critical moment, Qimu Pharmaceutical jumped out to take advantage of the heat. It was like eating steamed buns made of human blood!

As a result, netizens were angry.

Everyone went to Qimu Pharmaceutical’s official account and violently condemned it. When the die-hard fans of Daxian Store saw this situation, they also came to explain.

[Everyone, calm down. The Qimu family has never been one to seek out publicity. Maybe they have actually developed an antidote? 】

Most people sneered at this statement.

Are you kidding me?

Even the medical team sent by the government has not developed an antidote. How can Qimu Pharmaceutical, an Internet celebrity company that has only been in operation for two years, develop one?

[The Qimu family’s idiot fans are almost here. The composition of the poison in this poisoning incident is very complex. So many industry leaders cannot understand it. Can Qimu understand it? Unless you tell me that their company has experts from ancient medicine in charge! 】

Ancient medicine, this word is distant and unfamiliar to modern people.

But thousands of years ago, ancient medicine created a prosperous era.

In fact, ancient medicine is the abbreviation of ancient martial arts medicine. Thousands of years ago when ancient martial arts were in vogue, there appeared a group of miraculous doctors who could revive human flesh and bones. These miraculous doctors possess such superb medical skills that they are said to be able to reattach even a broken arm and restore it to its original state and allow it to move freely.

In that era when ancient warriors were prevalent, these ancient doctors created a glorious age. They rescued the dying and injured, provided free medical treatment everywhere, and treated the people in dire straits. The common people were grateful for their kindness, and because they did not know the names of these ancient doctors, they affectionately and respectfully called them 'miraculous doctors who helped heal the wounded'.

These miraculous doctors later founded an ancient medical sect.

The name of the sect is——

No harm to the door.

May there be no more pain in this world, and may the disciples of the Wushang family be able to smooth over all the farewells in the world.

This is the founder of ancient medicine. Ancient medicine also started from Wushangmen and then gradually spread.

However, things change and times change. As time went by, technology gradually replaced manpower, and ancient weapons gradually withered and became scarce.

In order to preserve the inheritance, the ancient martial arts families have retreated into hiding and no longer come out of the mountains. And those ancient doctors also hid their identities and became ordinary people hiding in the busy city.

At this point, the ancient doctors have completely disappeared in the torrent of history.

However, although they disappeared, the deeds of ancient doctors in saving lives and healing the wounded have been passed down from generation to generation.

Common people have never heard of ancient warriors, but they have heard of the reputation of ancient doctors in various unofficial histories, official histories, and miscellaneous talks.

In everyone's mind, the god-like status of ancient doctors is unshakable. Even in today's technological age, everyone still has respect for ancient healers.

Therefore, when the netizen mentioned ancient medicine, everyone became excited.

[Don’t compare Qimu Pharmaceutical with ancient healers, okay? There is no comparison between the two! Ancient medicine has been lost, so don’t touch Qimu Pharmaceutical! 】

[The status of ancient doctors in the medical world is equivalent to Zhuge Liang's status in the military strategist world. They are both legendary existences. Comparing Qimu Pharmaceutical with ancient doctors, isn't that a big deal in front of Guan Gong? 】

[Ancient medicine has been lost for hundreds of years. How could Qimu Pharmaceutical have inheritors of ancient medicine? 】

[I really hope that Qimu Pharmaceutical has inheritors of ancient medicine. Because if the ancient healers still existed, this poisoning crisis would have gone through safely. 】

While everyone lamented the legend of ancient doctors, they also mocked Qimu Pharmaceutical for its popularity.

No one believed that Qimu Pharmaceutical could produce an antidote, and some with more extreme behavior even went to the relevant department’s website to report Qimu Pharmaceutical with one click.

The poisoning incident caused a lot of trouble, and netizens also scolded Qimu in an uproar.

However, just as public opinion became more intense, Yue Xiong, the leader of the medical team, posted a Weibo post using his official account——

[Yue Xiong: Thank you to @Qimu Pharmaceutical and its chairman Ms. Ruan Qi @Ruanruan Ruan Qi for producing antidotes for the public free of charge. At the same time, I would also like to thank Ms. Ruan Qi and her master, Mr. Nie Beilou, the current head of the Wushang Sect, for providing the antidote prescription free of charge. The 1.0 version of the antidote jointly produced by Qimu Pharmaceutical and the state will be officially put on the shelves of Qimu Pharmaceutical’s stores tomorrow. There is a limit of two copies of each ID card. Please purchase as needed. Thank you. 】

After Yue Xiong finished posting on Weibo.

Everyone:? ? ? ? ?

The Internet is full of question marks.

Everyone was confused.

Yue Xiong's Weibo post was short, but everyone was silent for a long time.

The entire network has been silent for an unknown amount of time. Ruan Qi, who has not posted on Weibo for several days, is now online.

She used her own account to repost Yue Xiong's Weibo.

[Ruanruan Qi: When the people are in danger, all the disciples of Wushang Sect have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. Ancient doctors had no other strengths but their medical skills to serve the country. May everyone be safe, safe and healthy. 】

Everyone:…

If their memory is correct, there seems to be only one @Ruan Ruan Qi in the entire network. Her profession is an actress, singer, and popular artist.

...So, why does Yue Xiong want Aite to be an artist?

Did he get the wrong account number?

Is there another person named Ruan Ruan Qi on Weibo?

……probably not.

So... that Qimu Pharmaceutical, which has become very popular in recent years, is the boss behind it Ruan Qi? !

She also developed an antidote? !

But isn't she a star? ! !

[There is too much information, I am a little confused. Let me explain... Yue Xiong Aite targeted Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi was the chairman of Qimu Pharmaceutical. She and her master developed the antidote. In other words... Ruan Qi knows medicine? Does a female star know medicine? ? 】

[I’m not too shocked that Ruan Qi knows medical skills. This sister can play games and play the piano, and she is also a big figure in academia. I can accept any number of medical skills. But... her master's name is Nie Beilou... Don't you think this name sounds familiar to you? 】

Nie Beilou disappeared for twenty years, and many people have forgotten the once famous first national scholar in China.

However, history and the Internet will not forget him.

When everyone searched on the Internet, countless news and legends related to 'Mr. Beilou' came to mind.

[Holy shit, shit! I remembered! Isn't Nie Beilou the super powerful Mr. Beilou back then? 】

【Ah ah ah ah I remember it too! Twenty years ago, the flood in City X caused tens of thousands of people to contract serious illnesses, and all the major hospitals were helpless. In the end, it was Mr. Beilou who came out to turn the tide and save everyone! 】

[No wonder this name sounds familiar to me. My dad was one of the survivors of that flood! My father also contracted the disease at that time, and it was Mr. Beilou who cured him. If it weren’t for Mr. Beilou, there might not be me! 】

Everyone is not familiar with the name ‘Nie Beilou’.

However, the four words "Mr. Beilou" are deeply embedded in the memories of several generations.

It is said that Mr. Beilou studied medicine since he was a child and developed superb medical skills before he was eighteen years old. When he first came of age, Mr. Beilou went to a rural free clinic alone and happened to encounter a village where evil diseases were rampant. The village was closed and conservative. In order to survive, the villagers even tried to eliminate the disease by sacrificing living people.

Mr. Beilou took action in time and saved twenty boys and girls who were almost burned to death. After that, he wandered around the village for three days and developed a complete cure for the disease.

Under Mr. Beilou's treatment, nearly five hundred people in a village survived. And Beilou, who was only eighteen years old, became completely famous in China because of this incident.

At this point, the eighteen-year-old Beilou began his legendary life.

He has cured diseases, saved people, and brought people back to life. He has cured countless patients with his hands, ranging from high-ranking officials to nobles.

And the ‘Doctor Beilou’ that everyone calls him has gradually become the ‘Miracle Doctor Beilou’. Until the flood in X city more than 20 years ago, Beilou's miracle doctor turned the tide and saved the lives of tens of thousands of people. At this point, the miracle doctor Beilou became Mr. Beilou, a famous scholar in China.

Mr. Beilou's name is engraved in the genes of the generation twenty years ago.

Especially those who experienced the flood in City X simply regarded him as a god and worshiped him.

Netizens who originally didn't know who Nie Beilou was, after learning that he was Mr. Beilou, instantly set off a frenzy on the Internet.

Nie Beilou turned out to be Mr. Beilou!

Mr. Beilou disappeared for twenty years and appeared again!

Mr. Beilou turned out to be Ruan Qi’s master!

Everyone was excited and shocked, but soon, netizens discovered another highlight——

【Wait a minute! Wushang Sect... isn't that the legendary ancient medical sect? ! ! ! 】

Everyone:! ! ! ! !

Previously, everyone's attention was on Nie Beilou's identity, completely ignoring that the sect he and Ruan Qi belonged to was called 'Wu Shang'.

Now everyone finally reacted.

Wushangmen... Wushangmen... Isn't that the legendary ancestor who created ancient medicine? !

Thousands of years ago, that group of ancient doctors who saved lives and healed the wounded founded the Wushang Sect!

【Oh my god! Ruan Qi and Mr. Beilou are ancient doctors? real or fake? 】

[It should be the same name, right? Didn't it mean that the harmless door disappeared hundreds of years ago? 】

[He just disappeared, not dead, maybe he went into seclusion. Mr. Beilou's medical skills are so high, he must be an ancient doctor! 】

Everyone is speculating whether the Wushang Gate where Ruan Qi is located is the legendary Wushang Gate.

Soon, someone found information related to Wushangmen.

[According to data, when the ancient doctor Wushang Sect was established, there was a plaque at the gate inscribed by the leader himself. There are eight words on the plaque, the content is - no harm to the world, peace and health. 】

No one is hurt, peace and health!

Isn't this what Ruan Qi posted on Weibo just now? !

So Ruan Qi and Mr. Beilou are the inheritors of the ancient medicine Wushangmen!

They are ancient healers!

An ancient doctor who had disappeared for hundreds of years suddenly appeared, instantly causing an uproar in the country.

This time, not only the Internet, but also people in real life went crazy.

All the major WeChat groups in the wealthy circles of the imperial capital were flooding the screen at the same time.

The fan groups of Qimu Pharmaceutical and Daxian Store are also completely crazy.

And the craziest ones are the fans in the entertainment industry.

In all conscience, they really just want to chase a star. As a result... the rightful owner turned out to be the inheritor of ancient medicine? ! !

[SoftBao is a big shot in academia, and I can accept it; it is the Dragon God in the e-sports circle, and I can accept it; and it is Vivian, a genius pianist, and I can still accept it. But now! Are you telling me that she is a legendary ancient healer? ! A direct disciple of the head of Wushang Sect? ! ! Am I crazy or is the world crazy? ! 】

[Ever since Qimu Pharmaceutical developed the antidote, I have been confused. Qimu Pharmaceutical belongs to Ruanbao, she knows medical skills, and her master is Mr. Beilou, or the ancient doctor from Wushangmen... Ruanbao, I don't know how many more scares you have? 】

【Who am I a fan of? Am I a fan of an ancient healer? The legendary ancient healer? ! 】

【Oh my god! Ruan Qi is an ancient doctor, and she is the chairman of Qimu Pharmaceutical. So...the medicines I bought at the Daxian store were all prescriptions from ancient doctors? ! 】

This netizen captured the key point.

All the fans of the Daxian family exploded.

yes!

Ruan Qi is the chairman of Qimu Pharmaceutical and an ancient healer. Then aren't the little pills her company sells long-lost ancient medicinal prescriptions? !

No wonder those little pills are so effective!

[I actually took ancient medicine prescriptions for a year...]

[Such a cheap little pill turns out to be an ancient medicine prescription...]

[I, I, I just finished a box of Heavenly King's Hair Growth Pill yesterday, and I threw the bottle into the trash can. Go pick it up now! Offer! Three sticks of incense every day! 】

To Chinese people, the mystery of ancient doctors is like ordinary people meeting immortal cultivators, or the monkeys in Mount Emei seeing Sun Wukong. They are mysterious, powerful, and even omnipotent.

Countless netizens flocked to Ruan Qi's Weibo, wanting to catch a glimpse of the heir apparent of the ancient healer.

At the same time, the faith value prompt in Ruan Qi's system rang wildly.

Faith value +10000…+10000…+10000…

In the past, it was always in units of one hundred and one hundred, but today it is in units of ten thousand.

Ruan Qi was shocked by the crazy increase in faith value. It wasn't until Bai Li talked about what happened on Weibo that she understood what happened.

For a moment, Ruan Qi was dumbfounded.

She really didn't expect that the identity of an ancient healer would make everyone so excited.

To her, whether they are ancient doctors or modern doctors, they are just doctors who treat diseases and save people. There is no distinction between high and low in human life, and the same is true for doctors.

Ruan Qi never thought that ancient doctors were noble or omnipotent. She thought for a while, turned on her phone and wrote a reply in the Weibo comment area.

[Whether they are ancient doctors or modern doctors, they are all worthy of respect. There is no end to learning, and there is no limit to the medical sea. We still have a lot to learn. 】

These words were very humble, and at the same time, they also told everyone euphemistically: ancient doctors were human beings, not gods, and they needed to learn like everyone else.

Netizens' enthusiasm, which was almost crazy, finally cooled down and gradually calmed down after seeing this comment.

Everyone began to leave messages in the comment area of ​​Ruan Qi’s Weibo, asking her questions related to the ancient healers and the poisoning incident.

Just as Ruan Qi was replying to netizens' comments, Qimu Pharmaceutical Factory began working overtime to produce version 1.0 of the antidote.

Due to the skyrocketing belief value, the Baili system was upgraded again. As a reward for upgrading, Bai Li gave Ruan Qi ten more puppets.

Including the previous ten, Ruan Qi now has a total of twenty puppets in his hands. According to their efficiency, producing 10,000 bottles of antidote every day should not be a problem.

So, that night, the lights of Qimu Pharmaceutical Factory were on all night.

When the sky turned white the next day, all 10,000 bottles of antidote were completed. After expedited inspection, packaging and other processes, version 1.0 of the antidote was finally on the shelves before the Daxian store opened at 8:30!

"Five thousand bottles were put on the shelves in offline physical stores and 5,000 bottles were put on the shelves in online stores. In less than a minute after being put on the shelves, they were all sold out." Yu Jinxiu, general manager of Qimu Pharmaceutical, reported on the phone, "Boss, now offline Online consumers are urging us. There are too many people who have been poisoned, and we really don’t want to buy or sell 10,000 bottles.”

Ruan Qi is at the teacher's gate at this time.

She put down the test tube, took off her white coat and walked out of the laboratory, picked up the water glass and drank it in one gulp.

After her mouth was completely thirsty, she said to the ember: "The factory is already working overtime, and there should be another 50,000 bottles on the shelves at 11 o'clock tonight. Ask the operation to make an announcement online and do a pre-sale. Put the link in the online store.”

Yu Jinxiu said hello, and the sound of Ruan Qi drinking water suddenly sounded on the phone again.

He made a move and asked doubtfully: "Boss, you haven't drank water for a few days? Are you very thirsty?"

Ruan Qi drank another glass of water, wiped her mouth and said, "I have been staying in the laboratory from last night to now. Not to mention water, I don't even have time to eat."

Ember Xiu: "Is it to develop an antidote?"

"Yes." Ruan Qi touched her growling stomach and sighed, "Master and I are studying the set of gene sequence numbers in the nightmare poison. Only by clarifying the order of this set of sequence numbers can we completely solve the problem. Prescribe nightmare poison. The version 1.0 antidote currently on the market can only relieve the symptoms of poisoning, but cannot completely remove the toxin."

Yan Yanxiu studied biomedicine when he was in school and also knew something about genetic sequences. Hearing Ruan Qi say this, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Can the sequence of serial numbers...be cracked?"

"It's very difficult." Ruan Qi did not hide it from him and said calmly, "Even if it can be cracked, it will take time. Maybe half a year, maybe a year, or even a few years."

Ember Xiu: "But the victims of poisoning can't afford to wait."

"Yes... they can't afford to wait." Ruan Qi sighed softly, "It's basically impossible for us to decipher the sorting. There is only one way now..."

"What?"

Ruan Qi opened her mouth and was about to answer Yu Jinxiu's words when the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

Ruan Qi raised his head.

Jiang Yan, who was wearing a dark green uniform, and Xi Jiu, who was wearing a camouflage field uniform, walked in.

Ruan Qi was startled when she saw the clothes on Xi Jiu, then turned to the phone and said, "Axiu, I have something to do here, hang up first."

Yu Jinxiu responded and ended the call.

Ruan Qi put away her cell phone and looked around at Xi Jiu's field uniform, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Jiujiu, what are you..."

Xi Jiu walked to Ruan Qi, raised her hand, and gently touched the bottom of her dark eyes with her thumb.

Since the poisoning incident broke out, the little girl has not had a good sleep for a long time. She and Nie Beilou spent day and night in the laboratory, just to find the best detoxification formula.

"Is the baby tired?" Xi Jiu asked distressedly.

Ruan Qi didn't answer him, grabbed his finger with her backhand, and asked uneasily: "Jiujiu, what are you doing wearing this clothes?"

Xi Jiu is not from the army, but he holds an important position. He often wears this field uniform to lead everyone in training.

However, as far as Ruan Qi knew, there had been no drills in the army recently. There could only be one reason why Xi Jiu wore this outfit——

"Baby, I might have to go abroad."

Ruan Qi's expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed Xi Jiu's hand and said nervously: "Are you going to find the headquarters of Organization X?"

Xi Jiu nodded and gave her a positive answer.

"Yes. Based on the clues provided by Cheng Qi, we have initially determined the location of the headquarters of Organization X. I will take people there to investigate. If conditions permit, it is best to steal the genetic sequence information of the nightmare poison."

Although Ruan Qi developed version 1.0 of the antidote, because the gene sequence was not known, this version of the antidote only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.

There is currently only one way to completely remove the toxin, and that is to sneak into the headquarters of Organization X and steal the finished sample of the nightmare poison.

Only by obtaining finished product samples can we analyze the genetic sequence and develop the most perfect antidote.

Ruan Qi knew this was the only way.

But she agreed intellectually, but emotionally she didn't want Xi Jiu to go.

The methods of Organization

Ruan Qi looked worried, holding Xi Jiu's hand tightly, and asked him: "Do you have to go? Can you think of other ways?"

Xi Jiu felt the little girl's nervousness, and gently balled up her hands and wrapped them in his own palms.

"I don't want to leave the baby either. But for now, I am the best candidate to go to Organization X."

There are many experimental subjects in Organization X who have exploited human potential. They are all invulnerable and cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.

Only ancient warriors have the ability to fight against it.

And Xi Jiu, as the head of the largest ancient martial arts family in China, has a rare grand master status. He is the best candidate to deal with the experimenters of Organization X.

"This time when I go to Organization X, I will take Gu Feiyang and the others with me. Baby, I will come back safely, don't worry."

Xi Jiu comforted Ruan Qi gently.

But Ruan Qi always felt uneasy, as if the man would never come back once he left.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her niece so nervous.

He thought for a while and comforted Ruan Qi: "Don't worry, Xiao Qi. This time we were fully prepared before letting Lao Jiu go. There were many ancient martial arts masters going with him. With their With such strength, even if you can't steal the poison sample, you can still save your own life and escape unscathed."

Ruan Qi also knew that with Xi Jiu's strength, even if he couldn't steal the sample, he could still save his life.

But there are always surprises in everything. As long as Xi Jiu is not 100% safe, she will always be worried.

However, worries are worries, Xi Jiu has to do business, and Ruan Qi will not stop him.

She asked about the departure time, gave some careful instructions, and then let Xi Jiu and Jiang Yan leave.

After Xi Jiu left, Ruan Qi stayed in the laboratory for a long time.

The Qimu Pharmaceutical Factory is producing antidotes in an orderly manner. The conditions of the victims have been improved, and the domestic situation has temporarily stabilized.

Under the leadership of Nie Beilou, Wushangmen was born again and dispersed to major hospitals to treat poisoned people.

Everything is slowly getting better.

No one knows that behind this calm, there is a group of people who will risk their lives and death to go to another land to steal the hope of life for all victims.

The day for Xi Jiu to go abroad is scheduled for this Friday.

Today is Wednesday, only two days left until Friday.

Because this mission was too dangerous, Xi Jiu gave everyone two days off in order to let everyone say goodbye to their families.

And he himself left all official duties to Assistant Mu and Gong Qi, and prepared to spend a few days with Ruan Qi.

But what surprised him was that Ruan Qi seemed to be extremely busy these two days.

Obviously the situation in the country has stabilized, and even Nie Beilou can spare some time to rest, but Ruan Qi is even busier than before, spending 24 hours a day in the laboratory and unable to find anyone. .

Xi Jiu wanted to see the little girl, so he ran to Wushang Gate every day these days. But Ruan Qi seemed to have suddenly awakened the soul of work, and was so addicted to work that she didn't even have time to see him.

Xi Jiu had no choice but to ask Nie Beilou.

Nie Beilou's reaction was even more strange.

He just glared at Xi Jiu coldly, snorted coldly, and left without saying a word.

"..."

Xi Jiu was completely confused.

He stayed at Wushang Gate like this for two days.

Two days later, the day of departure arrived.

Even if Xi Jiu was reluctant to leave, he had to leave Wushang Sect. He sent a long message to Ruan Qi on WeChat. After the message was sent, he looked at the closed door of the laboratory with nostalgia, gritted his teeth, and left cruelly.

An hour later, Xi Jiu appeared on the tarmac of Q base.

This operation is a 3S top secret. Except for Xi Jiujiangyan and others, even Mr. Xi and the others only vaguely know about it.

Therefore, there were very few people who came to see him off this time, only Jiang Yan and a few heads of relevant departments.

At this time, the Q base's action team and the officially dispatched ancient martial arts masters had arrived. In order to hide from others, everyone was wearing regular clothes and stood quietly under the ramp of the plane, waiting for Xi Jiu's order.

Xi Jiu put on a black jacket, black trousers and combat boots that stretched her powerful legs, and there was a biting wind with every step she took.

He strode to the gangway and glanced at everyone with an expressionless expression, exuding low pressure and displeasure.

I don’t know when I will be able to come back after going abroad this time. Ruan Qi has been so busy these days that she can't find anyone, and Xi Jiu can't see the little girl. Her whole person exudes the aura of "Don't mess with me, you want to kill someone."

Seeing him like this, everyone in the Q base action team subconsciously tensed up. The ancient martial arts masters sent by the government didn't know much about Xi Jiu, but they all keenly felt the murderous aura in him. Not even water can withstand the murderous aura in the Grand Master realm. The ancient warriors who were originally a little arrogant were overwhelmed and their dissatisfaction turned into admiration.

Xi Jiu didn't know that he had subdued a group of thornheads invisibly.

He took out his phone and took a look at it. The screen is black, without any WeChat or text messages.

The little girl didn't send him a message.

This realization made Xi Jiu feel even worse.

He put away his phone and issued the order coldly. After everyone stood up straight, he said: "Count."

Starting from Gu Feiyang, all the ancient martial arts masters reported their numbers in turn.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"..."

There were a total of twenty ancient martial arts masters, and the numbers were quickly reported.

After the twentieth person shouted '20', Xi Jiu slightly raised his hand and opened his mouth to let them board the plane.

At this moment, the sound of wheels rolling over the ground came quickly from behind Xi Jiu.

The twenty ancient martial arts masters standing face to face with him all looked behind him, their eyes widening in shock.

Bai Yuchen raised his hand in disbelief and pointed behind him: "Brother Jiujiujiu..."

The reactions of these people made Xi Jiu confused.

He glanced at Bai Yuchen, frowned, and was about to turn around when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him -

"21! Report! The 21st member of the action team is in place!"

The tarmac was quiet, with only the gentle breeze blowing by.

The girl's soft and sweet voice blew past Xi Jiu's ears with the breeze, hitting his heart directly.

Xi Jiu was startled.

After reacting, he turned around sharply.

Not far behind him, Ruan Qi, wearing a white jacket and carrying a large backpack, was sitting on a small battery car and looking at him with a smile.

Xi Jiu: "..."

The usually calm man looked stupid for the first time.

He stared blankly at Ruan Qi, who shouldn't be here, and for a moment he even lost the ability to speak.

Jiang Yan reacted quickly. He strode up to Ruan Qi and asked in an anxious tone: "Girl, why are you here? They are about to get on the plane. Go back quickly!"

Ruan Qi didn't listen to Jiang Yan.

She got off the battery car, tightened the backpack on her back, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am the 21st of the action team. I can't go home, I have to go on a mission with everyone."

Jiang Yan's blood pressure rose after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you talking about! No. 21, there are only twenty people in this operation! Where are you No. 21? Go home quickly, or I will call your parents!"

Facing his uncle who was blowing his beard and staring, Ruan Qi looked fearless: "It's useless for you to call me. Mom and Dad know that I'm here, and Master also knows."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he was so angry that he almost burst his blood vessels.

"Your parents know? They just let you do whatever you want?!"

"Uncle, I am not messing around." The little girl looked dissatisfied, "I am capable enough to participate in this operation. I came here today after careful consideration."

"What have you thought about it carefully? You just can't let go of Lao Jiu!" Jiang Yan was furious and scolded her for being in love.

Ruan Qi was not ashamed but proud: "I admit that I came here because of Jiujiu, but more for the sake of everyone in the team. Organization Countless. Uncle, can you guarantee that everyone will not be harmed by these toxins?"

Jiang Yan was speechless.

He couldn't guarantee it.

Even though people like Xi Jiu are masters of ancient martial arts, they don't understand medicine or detoxify. The antidotes they carry are only for ordinary poisons. For tricky poisons like those developed by Organization X, the antidotes may not be effective.

Jiang Yan was speechless when asked, and could only try to defend: "If Organization X really releases the poison, Lao Jiu and the others can run away directly. The mission is indeed important, but life is more important."

"But uncle, if Organization There are more ways to get poisoned. Uncle, we can’t risk everyone’s lives.”

What Ruan Qi said made sense, but Jiang Yan had nothing to say to refute.

However, from an emotional point of view, he was still unwilling to let Ruan Qi participate in this operation. He could only persuade her with earnest words: "Xiao Qi, there is a doctor in the team. The one in white clothes is also an ancient doctor with very good medical skills. high."

Ruan Qi looked in the direction Jiang Yan pointed and saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt.

She thought for a moment and walked up to the man.

"Are you an ancient healer?" she asked.

The young man knew Ruan Qi's identity and couldn't help but tensed up when she walked towards him.

At this time, facing Ruan Qi's question, his nervous voice trembled: "Yes, yes! My name is Nanfeng, and I am from a family of ancient doctors."

Ruan Qi said "Oh" and asked again: "How many years have you been studying medicine?"

"Ten, ten years."

"It's only been ten years..." Ruan Qi frowned, tilted her head and said to him, "My uncle said that your medical skills are very good...are you as good as me?"

This question made Nanfeng's legs weak and he almost fell to his knees.

He said in a weak tone: "Miss Ruan, please stop kidding me. My family is just an ordinary ancient medical family, how can it be compared with Wushang Sect... My dad said that your medical skills are not even comparable to his."

What Nanfeng said was true.

Ruan Qi's medical skills are indeed far superior to those of most experts from ancient medical families. Even Nie Beilou would say that he is better than his predecessors.

After getting Nanfeng's answer, Ruan Qi turned to look at Jiang Yan.

"Uncle, you heard that Dr. Nan's medical skills are not as good as mine. If I go with them, there will be no harm at all!"

"..."

Jiang Yanchou's hair was turning white.

He finally found his little sister and niece, how could he be willing to let Ruan Qi go to such a dangerous place.

But he couldn't refute what Ruan Qi said. In desperation, he could only ask Xi Jiu for help.

"Lao Jiu, please say a few words!"

Xi Jiu has been acting like a fool since Ruan Qi appeared.

Hearing Jiang Yan's voice at this time, he finally woke up, and a pair of cold eyes fell firmly on Ruan Qi's face.

"Baby, you've been locked up in the laboratory for the past few days and haven't come out. Is it related to today's schedule?"

"Yes." Ruan Qi patted the huge backpack behind her with a smile, "I have developed a lot of small pills in the past few days, including detoxifying, nerve-numbing, tear-inducing, all kinds of functions. I will give them to you in a moment. Everyone, send it out!"

The eyes of the people in the action team lit up instantly.

This is a pill developed by ancient doctors!

Will they not be poisoned after taking these medicines?

Everyone looked at Ruan Qi with burning eyes. When Jiang Yan saw their reactions, his head hurt even more.

He turned to glare at Xi Jiu and lowered his voice: "Don't let her win people's hearts here, persuade her to go back!"

Xi Jiu moved her mouth, walked up to Ruan Qi, stretched out her fingertips and lightly touched her eyes.

Compared with the past few days, the dark circles under the little girl's eyes are more serious. It can be seen that they are caused by staying up all night.

Xi Jiu looked distressed and asked in a low voice: "Is the baby sleepy?"

"It's okay, I'm a little sleepy." Ruan Qi tilted her head and rubbed her cheek in the man's palm, "But the thought of going on a mission with you makes me energetic."

The little girl's eyes were slightly bloodshot, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

She looked at Xi Jiu expectantly, and Xi Jiu's heart trembled, and a soreness spread in his chest.

"Baby," he blurted out what was on his mind, "I don't want you to go."

The smile on Ruan Qi's face faded a little, she looked at him and asked, "Are you worried that there will be danger?"

Xi Jiu said 'hmm'.

"Organization X is mysterious and weird. I don't want you to be in danger. Baby, please stay at home, okay?"

After this question, there was silence in the air.

Everyone tensed up, waiting for Ruan Qi's answer.

Ruan Qi raised her head and stared into Xi Jiu's eyes for a while.

"No!" she finally said.

Xi Jiu was helpless: "Baby..."

"It's no use calling me baby." Ruan Qi's eyes were a bit stubborn and stubborn, "You are worried that I am in danger, so you let me stay at home. Then I am also worried that you are in danger, can you not go too? Stay in the imperial capital?"

Xi Jiu's lips moved, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Ruan Qi: "You can't, right? Because you are not only my fiancé, you are also the head of the first family and the guardian of everyone. You have your mission, your responsibilities, and what you must do. . What about me? Jiujiu, isn’t this my responsibility? "

Xi Jiu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Ruan Qi continued: "I am the next head of the Wushang Sect, the apprentice of Mr. Beilou, a national scholar, and the successor of the ancient doctor. Since I was born, I have been carrying Carrying the mission of saving lives and healing the wounded. In this land, I am responsible for all lives. As your fiancée, you can refuse my request. But as the next head of the Wushang Sect, no one has the right to object to my participation in this This mission. Even my uncle and you can’t do it!”

The girl's tone was very soft, but she spoke loudly. Every word she said was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the gentle breeze that carried Ruan Qi's firm voice into the sky.

Xi Jiu didn't speak, and neither did Jiang Yan. The two of them seemed to have calm faces, but there was already a huge wave in their hearts.

Ruan Qi glanced at the two of them, tightened the shoulder straps of his backpack, raised his head and chest, and said in a sonorous voice: "As the 267th young master of the Wushang Sect, I request to participate in this operation. This is I am sending a letter from the leader, Nie Beilou, hoping that Director Jiang and Instructor Xi will approve it!"

After finishing speaking, she took out a letter from the pocket of her jacket, with a large vermilion seal clearly engraved on it——

It symbolizes the supreme identity of the leader of the Wushang Sect.

When Jiang Yan saw the seal, his face became solemn, he quickly walked over, took the letter and opened it.

On the snow-white letter paper, there was only a simple sentence written -

[No one is hurt, peace and health. The disciples I sent should risk their lives in exchange for a peaceful and prosperous life. ——Nie Beilou]

The simple twenty-two words vividly express Nie Beilou's attitude, and at the same time show the character and spirit of Wu Shangmen, the originator of ancient medicine.

——Although Wushangmen is hidden in the world, he has never passed away.

If the people are in trouble, Wushangmen will go all out and sacrifice his life.

Jiang Yan was shocked by Nie Beilou's words of iron painting and silver hook, and held the letter without saying anything for a long time.

Ruan Qi looked at him and said softly: "Everyone who joins the Wushang Sect, the first lesson they learn is to save lives and heal the wounded, and to sacrifice one's life. We have more outstanding abilities than ordinary people, so we must be prepared to pay more." Be prepared. With greater ability comes greater responsibility, and Wushangmen will never evade his own responsibilities. So, Director Jiang, you cannot refuse my request to participate in the mission!"

Ruan Qi no longer calls Jiang Yan Uncle, but calls him Minister Jiang in a more formal manner.

This title made Jiang Yan realize that the person standing in front of him was not his soft niece, but Ruan Qi, the young master of the Wushang Sect with superb medical skills.

Jiang Yan was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Xi Jiu.

"Lao Jiu, what do you think?"

Xi Jiu didn't reply.

He looked at Ruan Qi steadily.

Ruan Qi also looked up at him. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of stubbornness and determination, which was the brilliance of an ancient doctor who was determined to save lives and heal the wounded.

In this brilliance, Xi Jiu felt that his selfishness, weakness and despicability were all invisible.

Why is he unwilling to let Ruan Qi participate in the operation?

Because I'm afraid she's in danger.

Why are you afraid that Ruan Qi is in danger?

Because he is afraid of losing her.

He couldn't bear the pain of losing Ruan Qi, so he selfishly ignored Ruan Qi's identity and mission as an ancient doctor, and let her stay in the imperial capital like a canary.

But he forgot that Ruan Qi was not a canary.

She has the most sacred mission and the toughest heart in the world.

She had worked hard to study medicine for nearly twenty years, and she should realize her own value, instead of being left by him in the imperial capital to be a wealthy lady who could not realize her ambitions.

Xi Jiu suddenly felt ashamed of his selfishness and despicability.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "As a fiancé, I don't want you to participate in this operation. However, I am now the leader of the action team... Ruan Qi, on behalf of everyone in the action team, You are welcome to join us.”

Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly burst into joy.

Jiang Yan's blood pressure suddenly rose.

He looked at Xi Jiu in disbelief: "Lao Jiu, how could you..."

"Uncle Jiang," Xi Jiu looked at him calmly, "Xiao Qi has her own responsibilities and ambitions. We should not confine her in the name of love."

Jiang Yan was startled.

He felt so bad for his little sister and niece that he had finally found, and he was so scared that he melted holding them in his hands. Being overly cautious, he forgot that the children of the Jiang family should not be flowers hiding in the greenhouse.

Neither his own children nor Bo Ye and Ruan Qi should hide behind their parents and be a second-generation ancestor who does nothing.

It was because he cared too much that Jiang Yan forgot the character that the children of the Jiang family should have.

And Xi Jiu's words were like a heavy hammer, waking him up hard.

"I'm paranoid." Jiang Yan sighed, "You are right, Xiaoqi has grown up, and she has her own ambitions and responsibilities. As parents, we can worry, but we cannot stop her."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi quickly asked, "Did uncle agree?"

"Do I have a choice?" Jiang Yan glanced at her angrily, "You have moved your master out, what else can I say?"

Ruan Qi rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and snickered.

Jiang Yan looked at her, sighed, and said earnestly: "Since you want to go, then go. But I have one request - don't be brave in everything, and you must obey orders. If there is danger, run away quickly, and try not to let it go. You are injured. You must come back intact. Your parents and I are waiting for you in the imperial capital."

Ruan Qi immediately raised her chest and raised her head, raising her little hands and swearing: "I promise to be obedient! I will definitely go home safely!"

The little girl's vow was so cute that Jiang Yan could no longer hold back and laughed helplessly.

The departure time was approaching, so everyone stopped talking and got on the plane in an orderly manner under Xi Jiu's order.

Ruan Qi followed the team at the end, waved to Jiang Yan, then turned around and walked into the cabin door.

After the little girl's figure disappeared completely, Jiang Yan looked away, raised his hand and patted Xi Jiu hard on the shoulder.

"Xiao Qi will be left to you. You two must come back safely."

Xi Jiu nodded slightly, his eyes firm and gentle.

"Don't worry. I will protect Xiao Qi with my life and bring her back safely."

Between layers of white clouds, the plane gradually flew to an altitude of 30,000 feet.

Since this mission was top-secret, in order to conceal it from others, all the means of transport used by the action team were privately provided by Xi.

Xi Jiu directly applied for a direct route to a city near Organization X and used a private plane to transport everyone there.

At this time, on the plane.

The originally soft and luxurious sofas were changed into ordinary first-class seats. There is a lot of space in the cabin, more than enough to accommodate thirty people.

Ruan Qi was sitting by the window, holding the huge backpack in her arms.

Bai Yuchen, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but stand up and looked over.

"Sister-in-law, what do you have in your bag? It looks so heavy."

Ruan Qi didn't say anything, just opened the zipper of her backpack and took out everything inside.

Injections, pills, powders, patches, and various...

"Mask? Clothes?"

Bai Yuchen picked up a strange-looking white mask with a confused look on his face: "Sister-in-law, what are you wearing a mask for?"

"It's anti-virus." Ruan Qi took apart the mask and gave a brief demonstration, "This is the anti-virus mask I made myself. It can block most poisonous gases and bacteria. It is better than the gas mask you are wearing."

Medical gas masks are relatively large and uncomfortable to wear on your face.

But masks are different.

The mask is light and breathable. The most important thing is that the gas mask developed by Ruan Qi has excellent isolation performance. It can block any poisonous gas as long as it is not particularly tricky.

No one expected that Ruan Qi was so awesome that he could even develop a gas mask. At this time, everyone couldn't sit still anymore, stood up from their seats and gathered around Ruan Qi.

"Sister-in-law, what is this dress for?"

"Doctor Ruan, where are these glasses? Are they also anti-virus?"

"And this bracelet, what does it do?"

Everyone asked questions, and Ruan Qi answered them one by one in an orderly manner.

"This clothing is worn close to the inside and can isolate toxins and germs. The same goes for glasses, but it also has far-infrared night vision function. This bracelet can emit laser pulse waves, which is very convenient for cutting metal."

These days, apart from developing antidotes, Ruan Qi spends all the rest of his time making these weapons.

She is Qisha and possesses the most outstanding talent for making weapons; at the same time, she is an ancient healer and hacker, possessing extremely high medical and computer skills.

The stacking of these multiple skills allowed Ruan Qi to design countless weapons that exceeded public awareness.

Everyone in the action team felt as if they were watching a science fiction blockbuster. The advanced weapons and equipment that could only be seen in movies were actually held in their hands.

Bai Yuchen's eyes were so shocked that he almost fell out of his head: "Sister-in-law, you are too awesome..."

"As expected of the young master of the Wushang Sect, he can even research gas masks!"

"Miss Ruan is so amazing. With her IQ, I almost want to be her fan!"

Everyone who was still a little stranger at first quickly became friends because of the equipment developed by Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi looked at them with a smile, and the hand hanging by his side was suddenly pulled gently.

She turned her head and saw Xi Jiu standing behind her, looking at her eagerly with a pair of cold eyes.

Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head, and deliberately ignored him.

Seeing this, Xi Jiu's face showed a trace of helplessness, and he bent down to her ear.

"Baby is angry?"

Ruan Qi turned her head away and said nothing.

Xi Jiu grabbed her hand and coaxed in a low voice: "I'm not not letting you participate in the operation, baby, I'm just worried about you. Organization X's methods are too vicious, if anything happens to you..."

Ruan Qi suddenly turned his head.

"You are afraid that I will make a mistake. Aren't I afraid that you will make a mistake?" She interrupted the man and looked at him stubbornly with a pair of peach blossom eyes. "You said we would live and die together before, but now you have to leave I'll take the risk myself. It's fine if you come back safely, but if something happens to you, I'll go with you right away... Uh! Uh-huh!"

Before the little girl finished speaking, Xi Jiu covered her mouth.

"Baby, don't talk nonsense."

Ruan Qi glared at him: "Uh-huh!" I said!

Xi Jiu was angry and helpless, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with her. He could only coax her like an ancestor: "That word is unlucky, don't say it. Baby, be obedient."

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't want to obey.

She shook her head hard and threw the man's hand away from her face, then stared at her peach blossom eyes and whispered: "What's so unlucky? 'You live and I live, you die and I die', isn't that right? What you said? You just forgot about it after you made your promise, right? You scumbag!"

The little girl has always had a soft personality. She rarely loses her temper like this and is rarely so unreasonable.

Xi Jiu was dumbfounded and coaxed patiently: "I haven't forgotten. Baby, I will never forget every promise I made to you. It's just that this mission is very dangerous..."

"So what?" Ruan Qi asked him, "We are one, and we can face danger together. Jiujiu, ten years ago I watched you being drowned in a river. Do you still want me ten years later? Do you want to watch you go into danger alone again? Jiujiu, you can't be so cruel!"

Brother Bingshan ten years ago is a pain that Ruan Qi can never let go of. If she hadn't been too weak back then, she wouldn't have watched him being thrown into the river.

And now, ten years later, Xi Jiu actually wants her to watch him face danger alone.

This is too cruel for Ruan Qi.

She looked at Xi Jiu stubbornly, her eye circles turning red.

Xi Jiu's heart twitched suddenly.

He always knew that Brother Bingshan was Ruan Qi's heart knot, but he didn't expect that the knot in his heart was so deep.

He reached out and hugged her distressedly: "Baby, don't cry, I was wrong."

Ruan Qi buried her face in his chest and asked in a hoarse voice: "Will you leave me alone?"

"No, not even to death." Xi Jiu hugged her tightly, "We will face danger together. No matter life or death, I will never abandon you."

Ruan Qi: "Are you serious? You're not lying to me?"

"Well, I won't lie to you." Xi Jiu promised in a low voice, "I will not abandon you. Baby, you can't abandon me either. No matter life or death, we will be together."

More than ten hours later, the plane landed on the tarmac of Xi's M Country Branch.

Twenty-two people from the action team got off the plane and then took a car to City C.

According to the information previously provided by Cheng Qi, the base camp of Organization X is on a seaside in the western part of Country M. Since human experiments require frequent transportation of corpses, this location should be in a sparsely populated place without surveillance cameras.

The western part of country M is on the seaside and sparsely populated. These three conditions add up and eventually point to the Bengal Yangtze, the largest ocean in the world.

The Bengal Ocean is closely adjacent to the western part of Country M. Several areas are undeveloped, inaccessible, and have no cameras.

However, which of these areas hides the headquarters of Organization X?

It's still unknown.

However, since human experiments are to be conducted, Organization X must often capture living people. If a dignitary is caught, it will attract social attention, so the best choice is the poor in the slums or the unemployed.

Therefore, Xi Jiu asked the Eagle Department to investigate the missing persons cases in Country M in the past ten years.

The investigation results found that there is a very small city C in the western part of country M, near the Bengal Ocean. The economic development of City C is very poor, and the public security is also very chaotic. Coupled with the poor educational conditions, the quality of residents is generally low, and fights and other incidents occur from time to time.

And these are not the most important.

The most important thing is that this city C is called the ‘Lost City’.

The reason why it is called this name is because there are always people missing in C City. Whether you are local or foreign, as long as you enter this city, it is like entering a maze, and you don't know when you will disappear.

This feature of City C caught Xi Jiu's attention.

He investigated the history of this lost city in the past twenty years, and found out that - City C was only changed to the 'Lost City' ten years ago, and the fact that people are always missing in City C also started ten years ago. of.

Ten years is a very sensitive node.

Organization X received help from the Cheng family and began conducting human experiments ten years ago.

So, could the disappearance of people in City C be related to Organization X?

Could those who disappeared have been captured by Organization X?

Xi Jiu listed City C as a key suspect. This time when they came to country M, the first target they looked for was this city.

It takes about a day to take a bus from Xi's branch to City C.

Everyone took turns driving, resting in the car when they were tired, and eating and drinking in the car when they were hungry. After staying up like this all day, the destination finally arrived.

"Do you want to rest for a night before taking action?" Bai Yuchen glanced at Ruan Qi's face, "Are you a little tired, sister-in-law?"

When everyone heard this, they all immediately looked towards Ruan Qi.

Maybe it was because he hadn't slept much for half a month, but Ruan Qi's face was indeed not looking good. She was already pale, but after two days of traveling and traveling, her face was even more pale. And due to lack of sleep, the dark blue under her eyes became heavier and heavier, and it was simply shocking to see it hanging on her pale face.

Xi Jiu originally wanted Ruan Qi to get out of the car and rest, but when Bai Yuchen said the same thing, she nodded immediately.

But Ruan Qi waved her hand.

"I'm fine." She said indifferently, "I just didn't sleep well, but my body is fine. Now if I have a PK, do you believe I can knock you all down?"

She waved her small fist, and the invisible aura of ancient martial arts surged out.

Everyone's breathing was suffocated instantly, and Ruan Qi's inner breath was like a mountain, pressing hard on their hearts.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

I originally thought that Ruan Qi only had good medical skills, but I didn't expect that her ancient martial arts were also so powerful.

Isn't this girl too awesome?

She has both intelligence and physical strength, but what should I do if they can’t help but have a crush on her? !

Ruan Qi used practical actions to let everyone know her strength.

Xi Jiu frowned worriedly: "The baby is really not tired?"

"I'm really not tired." Ruan Qi looked at him with a smile, "When I was a child, my daily training intensity was much more intense than this, and I have long been used to it. Time is running out, so let's quickly find where the X headquarters is."

Xi Jiu made sure again and again that Ruan Qi was not holding on, and then her anxious heart dropped.

He opened the electronic map and retrieved the location of City C.

"This is City C. If you drive six hours further, you can reach Bangladesh. The area between Bangladesh and City C has not been developed yet and is a native wild stone forest. Organization X The headquarters is most likely in this forest.”

But the problem now is, even if they know the approximate location of Organization X, how can they find the entrance and exit?

Cheng Qi had said before that the headquarters of Organization

It's definitely not possible to break in forcefully, you can only use outsmarts.

But, how to outsmart him?

"Let's take a look at the city first, maybe we'll come up with a solution."

At Xi Jiu's suggestion, the twenty-two members of the action team were divided into five teams and dispersed in City C.

Ruan Qi Xijiu took the other three ancient warriors and went directly to the most famous slum in the city according to the direction guided by the map.

Due to the backward economy and extremely poor public security, the buildings in City C all reveal a sense of depression and dilapidation. Especially the closer you get to the slums, the more dilapidated you feel. The mottled walls, the dirty streets, the bored boss at the door of the shop, the yelling and cursing coming from the alleys, and even the corners of the streets were covered with blood stains left after fights.

As Ruan Qi walked forward, she felt more and more an atmosphere of depression and decadence lingering in the air.

Suddenly, a scream came from the alley nearby.

Xi Jiu subconsciously protected Ruan Qi behind him. In the alley on the left, a woman covered in blood suddenly rushed out.

"Help! Help!"

The woman screamed in accented English.

Behind her, several ferocious men holding steel pipes were chasing after her with murderous intent.

The woman rushed out of the alley, looking around subconsciously for reinforcements. Suddenly, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Xi Jiu, who had a strong and cold aura.

"Help me! Help me!"

The woman rushed towards Xi Jiu like crazy, but before she could get close to his body, she was stopped by an ancient warrior.

The woman subconsciously grabbed the ancient warrior and shouted at him hysterically: "They are going to beat me to death! Help me! I will die!"

Because she was too excited, the woman used too much force while roaring, and the blood from her head splashed on the ancient warrior like raindrops.

The ancient warrior, who was a bit mysophobic, felt extremely uncomfortable. He resisted the urge to hide back and turned to look at Xi Jiu: "Boss..."

Xi Jiu looked at the woman indifferently, without any pity in her eyes.

It can be said that except for Ruan Qi, he will not feel pity for anyone of the opposite sex. Even though this woman looked pitiful, Xi Jiu had no intention of saving her without knowing the cause of the matter.

"Don't mind your own business, the mission is important."

Xi Jiu said coldly, took Ruan Qi's hand and turned to leave.

However, Ruan Qi stayed where he was and did not move.

"Baby?" Xi Jiu turned around in confusion.

Ruan Qi raised her chin at the woman: "Jiujiu, I want to save her."

Xi Jiu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although Ruan Qi is a doctor who treats illnesses and saves people, he is not a bad person with a holy mother's heart. I don't know whether that woman is good or bad. According to Ruan Qi's character, it is impossible to save her without authorization.

Unless she had another purpose in saving the woman.

Xi Jiu understood Ruan Qi's thoughts in an instant, and without saying a word, she turned around and made a gesture to several subordinates.

The ancient warrior whose clothes were grabbed by the woman received the order and immediately took action, subduing the men who were chasing him in a few seconds.

"Boss, what should we do with these people?" The ancient warrior pressed down on the men and asked.

Xi Jiu didn't want to get involved in the grudges of these people and said quietly: "Let them go. Don't let me see them before tomorrow morning."

The implication is that he will protect this woman until tomorrow morning. After tomorrow morning, I will no longer interfere with their grudges.

The men who were pinned to the ground understood Xi Jiu's words. Although they were not happy, they still chose to compromise in the face of absolute force.

Several men covered their wounds and limped away.

Seeing that the crisis was over, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the ancient warrior's clothes, and turned to leave.

"Hey? Why are you going?" The ancient warrior stopped her with quick hands and eyes, "I saved you, and you didn't even say thank you?"

Because the danger has been removed, the woman relaxes completely. This relaxation reveals your true nature.

She opened the ancient warrior's hand impatiently, cursed a slang word, and rolled her eyes, showing no trace of gratitude at all.

The ancient warrior was so angry that he laughed.

"Stop! We have something to ask you!"

The woman pretended not to hear and walked forward.

At this time, a sweet female voice came from behind her: "As long as you dare to walk out of here, I will notify those men and ask them to catch you again."

This sentence was like a key, suddenly locking the woman's movement.

She turned around quickly and glared angrily at Ruan Qi who was speaking, cursing and swearing, which didn't sound good to her.

Xi Jiu's face suddenly turned cold.

He took a step forward and was about to speak, but Ruan Qi spoke first.

"I don't care how many grievances you have with those people, or whether you are a victim. That is between you, I don't care. But I saved you, you must repay me. Otherwise, how could I save you? , I can give you back. I'm not kidding, I hope you can be more aware of current affairs."

The woman didn't expect that Ruan Qi, who looked like an angel, could say such cruel words.

She opened her eyes in disbelief and screamed loudly with her head full of blood: "You want to send me back? Do you want me to be beaten to death by them? I am just a weak woman, you can't do this!"

"Weak woman?" Ruan Qi raised his eyebrows, glanced at her waist, and asked, "Why are you wearing a long-sleeved coat on such a hot day? There's nothing shameful hidden in your clothes, right?"

The woman who was shouting just now seemed to have pressed the pause button, and her whole body came to a standstill.

Ruan Qi looked at her reaction and rolled his eyes: "The men just now smelled of oil smoke, and one of them had many burn scars on his right hand. If I guessed correctly, they should run a restaurant, right? ? And you have the same smell of oil smoke as them, there is a grease stain oozing from the back of your coat, and there is a bulge in your coat... Madam, you will not eat food stolen from other people's restaurants. Are you being chased and beaten?"

These words seemed to touch the woman's Achilles' heel, making her feel like she was struck by lightning.

"How do you know?!" the woman said subconsciously, then hurriedly covered her mouth when she realized what she was doing.

Ruan Qi laughed softly.

"It seems that I guessed it right? Not only are you not innocent, you also stole other people's food. No wonder they have to chase you and beat you. Madam, stealing is against the law. Do you think I should send you to the police? Game?"

The woman was a little panicked at first, but after hearing Ruan Qi say that she was going to be sent to the police station, she actually burst into laughter.

"Police station? The police in City C are just a decoration. If you send me there, you might as well send me back to that restaurant!"

"Okay." Ruan Qi also laughed, "Then I will send you back to the restaurant and let those men punish you."

With that said, Ruan Qi was going to catch her.

When the woman saw that she was serious, she immediately panicked again.

"No, no, no! They will really beat me to death! You can't send me there!"

Ruan Qi paused her hand in the air, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then will you listen to me?"

The woman rolled her eyes but said nothing.

Ruan Qi glanced at her, turned around and whispered to Xi Jiu. Xi Jiu nodded, took out his wallet from his clothes and handed it to Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi opened her wallet, took out several large tickets, and waved them in front of the woman.

"As long as you listen to me, the money will be yours. How about it?"

The moment a woman sees money, she can't hold anything else in her eyes.

She stared straight at the big tickets and reached out to grab them. But Ruan Qi was faster, and with a flick of his arm, he put his hands behind his back.

"This lady, you don't get paid for not doing anything."

Seeing that she could not eat, the woman was extremely anxious: "What do you want me to do? I will listen to you! Give me the money first!"

Of course Ruan Qi would not give her the money.

She took out one of several big tickets, handed it to the woman, and said to her: "Answer me a question, and you are not allowed to lie. How about exchanging a question for a piece of money?"

What else?

Simply great!

No woman would dare to dream of such a good thing!

She nodded quickly and said impatiently: "What are you asking? I won't lie!"

"Very good." Ruan Qi held up the big ticket and spoke slowly, "First question, where do you live?"

Woman: "No. 124, Roseville District."

Rossai District is the most famous slum area in City C, and it is also where Ruan Qi Xijiu plans to go.

Ruan Qi glanced at Xi Jiu without leaving any trace, and continued to ask the woman: "How long have you lived in Rosell District?"

Woman: “I’ve been there since I was born, more than 20 years ago.”

"Very good." Ruan Qi handed her two big tickets, and then took out a third one, "The third question is, do people often go missing in City C?"

This question made the woman stare at the banknotes for a moment, and her eyes moved from the banknotes to Ruan Qi's face.

"Why do you ask?"

Ruan Qi didn't answer, just shook the banknotes in his hand.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in to money and answered truthfully: "Yes. People often go missing in C City, and my little nephew is one of them."

Ruan Qi didn't expect that the woman was related to the missing persons incident, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"When did your little nephew disappear? Was there anything unusual before he disappeared?"

"No." The woman shook her head, "He disappeared two years ago. He went out to play as usual that day, and then he never came back. The same goes for others. Anyone who disappeared in this city has not returned. Come back again.”

Ruan Qi: "You didn't call the police?"

"Call the police?" The woman sneered mockingly, "Didn't I say that the police cymbals in City C are just decorations? There are so many people missing in this city every year that they are too lazy to look for the police cymbals."

Ruan Qi: "Then your family hasn't thought about looking for it yourself?"

"I've been looking for it for a month, but I haven't found it." The woman looked indifferent, as if the missing person was not her nephew, but a stranger. "It's impossible to find someone who disappeared in this city. My nephew Nine times out of ten, he's dead. Instead of going through all the trouble to find it, it's better to have another one."

The people in this city seemed to be numb, and losing a few people didn't matter to them at all.

In other words, it was the inaction of the C City police that forced them to be indifferent.

Ruan Qi felt a little heavy.

She handed a few banknotes to the woman and continued to ask her: "Where do most of the missing people live? Do you know?"

"I know. Most of them are from slums. Those rich people are picked up and dropped off by cars every day, and they are accompanied by bodyguards. How could they disappear? By the way, after my nephew was lost, his parents and I searched for him for a while. The result Guess what I found?"

Ruan Qi: "What?"

The woman said nothing.

She blinked and reached out her hand to Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi immediately gave her three big tickets.

The woman took the money, smelled it, and smiled with satisfaction.

She finally let go and said to Ruan Qi: "During the month when I was looking for my nephew, I discovered a pattern - I found that every other week, several people would be lost in this city, and they were all in Lost it on Friday night.”

This discovery surprised everyone in the action team.

Ruan Qi glanced at Xi Jiu and said to the woman: "Every Friday night? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." The woman said with certainty, "I know most of the people in the slums, and I also know who's been embarrassed. Every Saturday morning, I hear the news that someone has disappeared again. So I Presumably, they all disappeared on Friday night.”

This clue is really important to Ruan Qi.

She quickly asked: "Do those missing people have anything in common?"

"Characteristics?" The woman thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Probably not. Young, old, male and female, all of them. If we have to talk about similarities... maybe their family conditions are not very good. Many of them are homeless people without a house to live in. Others are children who love to play on the street."

Homeless wanderers and children who love to play on the streets may seem like they have nothing in common, but in fact they are a bit alike.

That is - they often roam the streets.

People who often wander around the streets are easily spotted and their daily movements can be easily traced.

If Organization X wants to arrest people for human experiments, then these people are the easiest to target.

Ruan Qi was thinking a lot in her heart, but asked the woman calmly: "Apart from these? Are there any other discoveries?"

"It should be gone." The woman thought seriously and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, in the first few years, more women disappeared in the city than men. But later on, women no longer dared to go out at night. The number of missing men has gradually increased. Little girl," she glanced at Ruan Qi, "people like you must not go out at night. If you go out, you must take your man with you. This is for my money. Come on, some advice for you.”

Ruan Qi was a little surprised by the woman's kindness.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly: "Okay, I will listen to you. Thank you for answering my questions truthfully. The money is yours."

Ruan Qi handed a handful of big bills to the woman.

The woman immediately grabbed the money anxiously and counted it carefully in her hand.

"You actually have so much money!" she said happily, "little girl, you are so generous!"

Ruan Qi smiled and said softly: "With the consumption level in C City, this money is enough for you to live comfortably for half a year. Go to the restaurant to make up for the food later, and stop stealing."

The woman didn't know whether she heard it or not. She held the money and waved her hands indifferently: "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll leave if it's okay. Goodbye!"

The woman clutched the money as if holding a treasure and left happily.

Ruan Qi looked at her leaving back, and the smile on his face gradually fell.

She turned and looked at everyone.

"What do you think of what you just said?"

Everyone was still digesting the information provided by the woman and remained silent for a while.

After a while, an ancient warrior said: "If what the woman said is true, someone will disappear every Friday night. Then this Friday... By the way, what day of the week is today?"

"Thursday." Another person glanced at his phone.

Ancient Warrior: "Today is Thursday? Then there is only one day left until Friday? Will there be anyone missing this time?"

"Isn't it just right that someone is missing?" Another person said, "We can just take advantage of this opportunity to catch the people of Organization Personal trafficker?"

Everyone looked at Xi Jiu.

Xi Jiu thought for a moment and was about to nod when he heard Ruan Qi suddenly say: "This is not good."

"Not good? What's wrong?" someone asked.

Ruan Qi: "Our goal this time is to sneak into Organization X and find samples of the nightmare poison. 'Find Organization

"We can force the address of Organization X from those traffickers."

"But what if they don't tell?" Ruan Qi asked, "The people in Organization The organization will discover anomalies. Then aren’t we just alerting the enemy?”

What Ruan Qi said makes sense.

People in Organization X have received professional training, and it is very difficult to extract information from them.

Moreover, even if they were forced to interrogate, they couldn't put those traffickers back. And once those few people don't go back, Organization X will definitely notice something abnormal. The result of alerting the enemy is to double the difficulty of the task.

Therefore, setting up an ambush to catch traffickers is not the best way.

"Then what should we do? Now this is the only way to contact people from Organization X..."

"Actually, there is a better way." Ruan Qi suddenly said.

"any solution?"

"Use the trick." Ruan Qi raised his head, looked at everyone, and said slowly, "They want to arrest people for experiments, so I will pretend to be that person. From today on, I will be a member of the ghetto. Wait until tomorrow night, Let them take me right in."

I overestimated my coding speed. I originally thought I could write the finale in five days, but in the end I only produced a few tens of thousands of words.

I will post the finale (Part 1) first, and then give me two days to write the finale (Part 2). Updated on September 8th, see you then.
