Roses in Flames

Sun Hao's emotions suddenly became extremely agitated.

His chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"The medicine is in my pocket, give me the medicine quickly..."

Xiao Lin put on disposable gloves and quickly pulled a small bottle of medicine from Sun Hao's pocket.

"Two pills..."

Xiao Lin poured two pills into Sun Hao's hand.

Sun Hao tilted his head back and swallowed the medicine.

But after taking it, there was still no effect.

He was like a raging beast, his face contorted in rage, cold sweat pouring down his face, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the people around him, as if he were about to pounce on them at any moment.

Xiao Lin pressed his large hand firmly against Sun Hao, his face cold and stern, and asked, "Sun Hao, what's wrong with you?"

"I have bipolar disorder, and it usually gets under control when I take medication... Why isn't it working this time? I feel so awful..."

Ye Yuntang walked over quickly, opened the bottle of medicine, and smelled it.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed instantly. "It's not medication for bipolar disorder; it's probably just regular vitamins."

After saying that, she took a towel out of the toolbox and covered Sun Hao's mouth and nose.

It didn't suffocate him, but rather interrupted his rapid breathing rhythm.

For people experiencing a manic episode, hyperventilation will only worsen their condition.

"Lei Zi, find a restraint belt and bring it over."

Cheng Lei quickly did as instructed.

After finding the restraints, Cheng Lei and Xiao Lin, together, bound Sun Hao's limbs as instructed by Ye Yuntang.

"Sun Hao, follow my rhythm and take a deep breath..."

Ye Yuntang lowered her voice, her beautiful eyes looking gently at Sun Hao, "Inhale, exhale, yes, that's it."

After a short while, Sun Hao's agitated emotions were gradually brought under control.

The ferocity and ruthlessness in his bloodshot eyes faded, gradually replaced by a layer of weary mist.

Xiao Lin squatted down in front of Sun Hao, looking at him sharply. "Sun Hao, you probably don't know the medicine has been switched, do you?"

Sun Hao shook his head.

He picked up the medicine himself from the city hospital, and he always kept it in his pants pocket. How could someone have switched the medicine inside?

Xiao Lin picked up the bottle of medicine. "The only person who could switch your medicine without you noticing is someone very close to you. Think about it, who would want you to have a manic episode without medication to control it?"

Sun Hao's pupils contracted.

The only person around him who could switch his medications, besides Liu Qianqian, couldn't possibly be anyone else.

But why did Liu Qianqian do that?

She once said that he was the person she loved most.

Seeing Sun Hao's expression, Xiao Lin already had a guess in his mind.

"You said Bai Chuwei looked down on you, thought you weren't ambitious enough, and made Liu Qianqian break up with you. Fu Shili even introduced Liu Qianqian to rich men. These are all Liu Qianqian's side of the story. Have you verified them?"

Fu Shili, who had been terrified when Sun Hao hung him from the tree, finally came to his senses.

He quickly denied it, "I never took Liu Qianqian to meet rich men. Sometimes when I entertained clients and brought along public relations staff, it was always Liu Qianqian who volunteered. She's a rather vain and materialistic person. If it weren't for her good relationship with Bai Chuwei, I would never have let her join the company!"

Sun Hao shook his head, his face ashen. "No, Qianqian is a good person. She's become vain and materialistic because she was led astray by Bai Chuwei and Fu Shili. She's very kind at heart..."

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. "If Liu Qianqian switched the medicine, her goal was to trigger your manic episode and make you do something irreversible. Do you know what your fate will be in the end?"

If you kill someone and are punished by law, your life will be ruined.

"If Liu Qianqian truly loves you, would she just stand by and watch you waste your whole life on this?"

Sun Hao's body trembled violently. He lowered his eyes, his mind a complete mess.

"Perhaps the medication wasn't switched by Qianqian; the hospital made a mistake..."

Xiao Lin's facial features were tense. "Stop deceiving yourself. Now do as I say and call Liu Qianqian."

Sun Hao looked at Xiao Lin, whose eyes were sharp and brooked no argument. "You must do as I say!"

Xiao Lin picked up Sun Hao's phone, found Liu Qianqian's number, and dialed it.

A short while later, Liu Qianqian answered the call.

"Ah Hao, where are you?"

After taking a deep breath, Sun Hao said as Xiao Lin instructed, "Qianqian, I killed someone."

"What? Who did you kill?"

"Fu Shili."

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long while.

"Ah Hao, how could you be so impulsive? Although Bai Chuwei and Fu Shili look down on you, a lowly person, and want me to break up with you, I never expected you to kill Fu Shili. If Bai Chuwei finds out Fu Shili is dead, won't she suspect you and report you to the police?"

"Qianqian, those who stood in our way have all been punished. Please come back to me, okay?"

"Ah Hao, I also want to go back to you, but if Chu Wei finds out that we're together again, she'll definitely suspect you... If she hadn't been rescued in time that night at Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet, it would have been better if she had died. That way, no one would have stood in our way anymore."

The air fell silent.

Ye Yuntang got goosebumps all over her body.

That Liu Qianqian is truly a vicious person.

Her unspoken intention was to provoke Sun Hao into harming Bai Chuwei again.

"Qianqian, are you free later? I'd like to meet you."

"Ah Hao, you can't! If Chu Wei finds out, I'll lose my best friend and my job..."

"That bitch, I'll definitely find a way to kill her."

"Ah Hao, although Bai Chuwei doesn't like you and thinks you're not good enough for me, I think you're a very good person. Please don't act impulsively."

"Killing one is the same as killing two."

"Ah Hao, Chu Wei called me. She's probably afraid I'll get back together with you, so I'll talk to you later."

Before Sun Hao could say anything more, Liu Qianqian hung up the phone.

Sun Hao, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Xiao Lin. "Officer, you heard everything, right? Bai Chuwei wanted to stop me from being with Qianqian. Bai Chuwei looks down on me and wants Qianqian to be like her, a mistress to a rich man. That kind of bitch Bai Chuwei doesn't deserve to live in this world, she deserves to die!"

Xiao Lin picked up his phone and made a call.

"I've arranged for police officers to be outside Bai Chuwei's hospital room. I'm going to ask Bai Chuwei if she has called Liu Qianqian."

The police officer on the other end of the phone answered quickly.

The police officer told Xiao Lin that Bai Chuwei was still very weak and had gone to sleep, and had not called anyone.

Sun Hao shook his head. "Qianqian wouldn't lie to me..."

"Do you want to know what Liu Qianqian is doing right now, and who she's with?"

Sun Hao: "You don't need to tell me, I naturally know what Qianqian is doing. She's a good woman, she goes home obediently after get off work and never goes out to mess around."

Xiao Lin's eyes were cold. "When I came to arrest you, I arranged for officers to keep watch downstairs at Liu Qianqian's house."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the police officer monitoring Liu Qianqian called.

"Captain Xiao, Liu Qianqian just went out and walked into a small alley."

Xiao Lin said in a deep voice, "Follow her quietly, but don't let her find out."
