Wen Ruan: "?!"

If she still can't see that the nurse is doing something wrong now, she'd be a fool.

"Who are you?" Wen Ruan's face immediately turned cold.

A look of panic flashed in the nurse's eyes. When she saw Wen Ruan trying to get out of bed to hide, her eyes suddenly turned frantic and resolute.

She suddenly pulled a syringe filled with an unknown liquid from the pocket of her white coat and stabbed it fiercely at Wen Ruan.

"Go to hell! You bitch!"

Wen Ruan's pupils contracted sharply, and almost instinctively, she rolled to the side to dodge.

The needle grazed her shoulder, leaving a faint bloodstain, and the nurse was unable to inject the fluid into her body in time.

"Someone come here!" Wen Ruan cried out in alarm to her bodyguards.

The nurse's attack missed, and the hatred in her eyes deepened.

Clutching the syringe, he lunged at Wen Ruan again.

Wen Ruan quickly dodged, angrily shouting, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me?"

The nurse's eyes were completely unfamiliar; Wen Ruan didn't recognize her at all.

"You don't know me, but you deserve to die!" The nurse stabbed at her neck with all her might.

Seeing the needle about to pierce Wen Ruan's neck, she suddenly grabbed a cup from the bedside table and smashed it hard at the nurse.

As if by magic, the teacup hit the nurse right in the eye, causing her to scream in pain.

Bang!

The bodyguard rushed in, was shocked and stunned by what he saw in the ward, and immediately pounced on the nurse to control her.

She turned her head and saw the bodyguards had arrived. A moment of panic flashed across her face, and resentment flickered in her eyes. She didn't want to give up attacking Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan quickly hid in the bathroom and locked the door with a click.

Seeing this, the nurse gritted her teeth and simply stuck the syringe into her own neck, injecting the liquid.

The bodyguard restrained him and pinned him to the ground. The nurse's body immediately began to convulse, and her eyes rolled back.

Wen Ruan was horrified when she came out and saw this scene. "What happened to her?"

The bodyguard frowned, noticing that she seemed to be foaming at the mouth. Fearing she might choke to death, he removed her mask.

"She just injected herself with the injection... We've already called a doctor."

Wen Ruan didn't dare to go too close, but she was surprised to see the nurse take off her mask.

The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, very young.

"I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me?"

Hearing this, the girl seemed to regain some composure, her face contorted as she mumbled, "Murder...murderer, you should die! Why...why are you still alive? Pay with your life! I...I want you to pay with your life!"

At that moment, the doctor rushed in, and the scene stunned them all. He quickly examined the girl.

"The situation is critical; he must be taken to the operating room immediately."

They rushed the girl into the operating room, but she had already fainted.

Wen Ruan's face paled slightly as she recalled her earlier words.

The only person who would say that about her could be related to Lin Xia.

But she wasn't the one who killed Lin Xia at all, and she wasn't even the last person Lin Xia saw before she died.

Why do they all target me like this?

"Madam, how are you?" the bodyguard asked with concern.

Wen Ruan snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine..."

"I have already informed the director about this, and he is on his way."

Wen Ruan was startled; she didn't want to disturb Jiang Yubai.

When the hospital director learned of this incident, he learned that the director's wife had almost gotten into trouble at their hospital.

If they blame me, I'm doomed.

"Miss Wen, are you alright? Let's move you to a different room and get you checked out." The hospital director looked kind, but a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Wen Ruan snapped out of her daze and nodded in agreement.

The ward was in a mess because of the scuffle with that girl earlier.

She was moved to a different ward, and the doctor examined her.

"The medication has been mostly metabolized in your body, and you can be discharged this afternoon."

Wen Ruan pursed her lips and asked, "How is that girl?"

The doctor frowned and said, "We're trying to save her, but the chances of survival are slim. The drug she injected herself with is a new type called 'Orchid'."

"Youlan?" Wen Ruan asked, looking confused. "What kind of medicine is that?"

"This drug is a new type of poison, but if injected into a bloodstream, it can cause suffocation and damage nerves... Even if she survives, she may become a vegetable or paralyzed... In severe cases, she could die."

Wen Ruan's heart skipped a beat, a chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing her pale face, the hospital director quickly reassured her, "Miss Wen, don't worry. As long as this medicine isn't injected into a blood vessel, there's no danger."

"You weren't injected with anything; you just had a minor scrape on your shoulder, which was disinfected and will be fine."

Wen Ruan nodded, her mind filled with the resentful eyes of that girl from earlier.

At the tender age of a flower, he came to kill her with a resolute determination to perish together with her.

What kind of person could make such a young girl risk her life for hers?

At that moment, the ward door was pushed open.

Jiang Yubai strode in, his gaze immediately locking onto Wen Ruan.

Only after confirming that she was safe and sound did the thin layer of ice in his eyes melt slightly.

"Where are you hurt?" He walked to the bedside, his voice low.

"It's nothing, just a prick from a needle." Wen Ruan shook her head. "That girl..."

"I've already had the bodyguards check all the hospital's surveillance footage." Jiang Yubai sat down beside her bed, reaching out to hold her slightly cool hand. "I'll find out the truth."

Wen Ruan hesitated for a moment, "...She should be Lin Xia's friend, or at least someone who knows Lin Xia."

"But Lin Xia's death has nothing to do with me. The police have already reached a preliminary conclusion, so why would anyone do this..."

She realized it halfway through her sentence.

Jiang Yubai's eyes darkened slightly: "Because someone is guiding us from behind the scenes."

"The drug 'Youlan' is a high-end assassination drug that circulates on the overseas black market. The raw materials are scarce and the process is complicated. A single dose costs no less than six figures on the black market."

"A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl couldn't possibly get something like this on her own."

Wen Ruan's heart sank. "So you mean, someone provided her with 'Youlan' and guided her to kill me?"

"Most likely."

Wen Ruan pressed her lips tightly together, her heart heavy.

Jiang Yubai: "I have contacted my friends in the National Security Bureau and asked them to help me investigate 'Youlan's' entry records over the past three months."

"These kinds of things leave traces when they enter the country. As long as we trace the flow of the goods, we can find the source by following the clues."

"As for the girl... if she can be saved, the police will be able to get information out of her. If she can't be saved, the investigation into the surveillance footage and the source of the drug can continue."

Looking into his usually gentle eyes, which revealed his concern for her, Wen Ruan felt a pang of sadness well up in her heart again.

"……Thank you."

"You are my wife, protecting you is what I should do, there's no need to thank me."

A dark glint and ruthlessness flashed in Jiang Yubai's eyes behind his glasses.

When Wen Ruan looked over, all the emotions in his eyes vanished.
