VIP Volume Chapter 153: Clues

Ye Dajun's sudden leap drew gasps of horror from the crowd below!

Jiaran covered her mouth and wept bitterly. Falling from the sixth floor—even if he survived, the rest of his life would be spent confined to a bed!

Yet a startling scene unfolded. Ye Dajun's massive, nearly two-meter-tall frame, which looked enormous even when viewed from the ground looking up, drifted through midair like a feather, swaying gently with the wind!

Guan Ling had sharp eyes. Though her pretty face had just been pale with terror, she now cried out in joyous surprise, "Don't be afraid! Big Brother has a rope on him!"

Little Yu'er also let out a breath of relief, tilting her small face upward to shout, "It's not a rope, it's Grandpa Yang's sheep-herding whip! Oh? Husband is up there!"

The moment Ye Dajun moved, Ye Xiaoxuan and the Old Shepherd had realized the gravity of the situation. The Immortal Sheep Wish-Fulfilling Whip uncoiled and managed to wrap securely around Ye Dajun's body just in time!

However, this fellow was so huge that he almost dragged the Old Shepherd down with him. Fortunately, Ye Xiaoxuan was right beside him, and the two of them joined forces, pulling Ye Dajun up inch by inch!

Back on the rooftop, the Old Shepherd gasped for breath and cursed at Ye Dajun, "What kind of madness has gotten into you, you brat?"

Ye Dajun still had the whip coiled around his waist. He reached out, grabbed the Old Shepherd in a tight embrace, planted a kiss squarely on his lips, and looked at him with smoldering, affectionate eyes. "Are you satisfied now?"

Ye Xiaoxuan was dumbfounded, and the Old Shepherd was frozen in shock. Touching his own lips, he looked at Ye Dajun with tear-filled eyes, his entire face flushing bright red. Suddenly, he widened his mouth and wailed, "You bastard! You even dare to flirt with your master! I'm going to beat the living daylights out of you!"

Ye Xiaoxuan grabbed his arm and said, "He's out of his mind right now; he's been drugged! And I'd guess the dosage was pretty heavy!"

Ye Dajun clutched the Old Shepherd's hand affectionately and cooed, "Yaya, do you like it? Come back with me!"

The Old Shepherd broke out in goosebumps all over his body, leaped three meters backward, and roared at Ye Xiaoxuan, "Handle this kid yourself! My lifelong purity has been completely ruined by his hands! I've never even kissed a woman before, so how did this brat beat me to it? I've been wronged!"

Ye Xiaoxuan glared at him. "He's only like this because he's my brother. If it were me and I had to smell that sheepish stench of yours up close, I'd throw up! Don't you have a whip? Just tie him up and carry him down!"

The Old Shepherd dodged Ye Dajun's pursuit and yelled back, "Why don't you carry him?!"

Ye Xiaoxuan tilted his neck and said nonchalantly, "He probably mistakes you for Little Beauty right now. Whether you tie him up or not is entirely up to you. I'm heading down. The two of you stay up here—if anything happens, I'm taking no responsibility!"

"Swish!" The Old Shepherd tightened his whip, binding Ye Dajun's arms as well, and sent him crashing to the floor. Figuring that still wasn't enough to be safe, he pressed down hard on a pressure point at the base of Ye Dajun's neck, rendering him unconscious. Only then did he curse under his breath, hoist Ye Dajun over his shoulder, and follow Ye Xiaoxuan downstairs!

As soon as they reached the ground floor, Little Yu'er ran over to Ye Xiaoxuan and asked, "When did you go up? How come none of us saw you?"

Ye Xiaoxuan pinched her little hand and replied, "I slipped up quietly. Let's get Big Brother back to his hospital room first."

He didn't want to explain his unimaginably fast teleportation technique here. In truth, most people had seen his movement at the time, but his speed had been so blindingly fast—resembling mere flashes of shadow—that people simply chalked it up to an illusion.

Inside the hospital room, after examining Ye Dajun, the doctor frowned and asked the nurse, "Who prescribed the injection for the patient just now? Why is there mescaline in it?"

The nurse looked deeply aggrieved as she replied, "His medication was already finished yesterday. He was just resting here for the day and was supposed to be discharged tomorrow. There were no injections prescribed!"

Guan Ling frowned and asked her, "Are you saying he didn't need an IV drip today?"
The young nurse nodded. "He only needed to take some oral anti-inflammatory medicine!"

Nearby, Little Yu'er pointed angrily at the IV pole and said, "The medicine is still hanging right up there, and you're still trying to deny it? Isn't this medicine bottle yours? Aren't the infusion tubes yours?"

The young nurse was on the verge of tears as she retorted, "They belong to our hospital, but we didn't prepare this medicine! We prepare medications strictly according to prescriptions, and there isn't even a prescription for this bed anymore. How could we have prepared this?"

Jiaran asked her, "Could it be that it was originally prepared for another bed, and one of your nurses made a mistake and hooked it up to my brother instead?"

The young nurse shook her head vigorously. "That's simply impossible! This is a township clinic, not some major institution. There are only these few patient rooms in total, and there are no prescriptions requiring this kind of drug whatsoever. Besides, our hospital doesn't even stock this medicine!"

Ye Xiaoxuan looked at the doctor. This fellow was the old man he had run into during their previous emergency visit, though his attitude was much better this time.

The old man, whose surname was Zhang, nodded solemnly at Ye Xiaoxuan and said, "This is a township clinic; we don't carry psychiatric drugs like this. I think we should report this to the authorities. Our hospital cannot take responsibility if something goes wrong!"

Guan Ling glared at him in dissatisfaction. "Uncle Zhang, aren't I a police officer?"
The old man slapped his own forehead. "I was so flustered I completely forgot about that! Xiaoling, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our hospital!"

Hearing him constantly trying to clear himself of responsibility, Little Yu'er grew annoyed and said with a cold sneer, "If something happens inside your hospital, it has everything to do with you! Besides, nobody is asking you to meddle blindly; whatever happens, the hospital director will cover for it—what does it have to do with you?"

Wiping away sweat, the old man stammered, "I... I am the director!"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out this old man held both positions of director and doctor all by himself! But township clinics were just like this; their conditions couldn't compare to cities, or even county towns.

Guan Ling detached the IV bottle and said to the old man, "Uncle Zhang, I'm taking this back with me. This is a clue!"

The old man waved his hands hastily. "You can throw it in the trash for all I care!"

Looking at the bottle, the Old Shepherd frowned and muttered, "Could it be them?"
Guan Ling immediately pressed him, "Do you know who administered the drug?"

The Old Shepherd shook his head. "It's just a guess. Among the lower strata of the underworld, Slaughterer Third loves using poisons and drugs the most!"

Ye Xiaoxuan gave Guan Ling a subtle look. Catching his meaning, Guan Ling said to the old man, "Alright, Uncle Zhang, I'll process my big brother's discharge papers shortly. You go on and tend to your work!"

Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly, clearly terrified and eager to see this group leave as soon as possible.

As soon as he and the nurse stepped outside, Ye Xiaoxuan immediately turned to the Old Shepherd and asked, "Are you saying that the Qitian Group is behind this again? Didn't Seventh Master Gou say that the Nine Streams Sect had no intention of meddling in this affair?"

The Old Shepherd nodded. "Old Seventh Gou said they wouldn't participate, so that certainly wouldn't be false. That's why I only suspect it; I'm not certain."

Little Yu'er also shook her head and said, "Uncle Slaughterer has a great relationship with my dad; he wouldn't make things difficult for my friends! But since Grandpa Yang mentioned it, it actually reminds me of someone. If this was done by people from the Qitian Group, then it definitely must have been that fellow!"
