Nan Qiyue got a set of clothes for Lan Yuxi and followed Lan Muguo to the hospital.
Nan Xiao asked Joyce and a few others to return to their rooms to sleep, but Joyce and Ruan Sizhe did not agree. In the end, he took the two of them to the basement. Luo Wanqi went to the master bedroom to accompany the two children.
In the basement, Nan Xiao checked the back of the necks of the two men in black. Seeing no marks, he had someone splash water to wake up the man in black who had been drugged by Chao Chao.
The man in black slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw who was standing in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "You recognize me? Knowing who I am, you still dare to come to your death, you're quite bold!"
The man in black cowered, not daring to look at him again.
Nan Xiao asked in a deep voice, "No marks on you, so you're not an An family member. Then you must be someone from my mother's side?"
"..."
"What was her mission for you?"
"..."
Ruan Sizhe rolled up his sleeves and walked over. "What's the point of wasting words with him? Beat him up, and he'll confess everything!"
Joyce grabbed him. "Violence is the act of barbarians. Just leave the person to me."
As Joyce spoke, he took out a paper packet and scattered its contents on the man's face. "This is a new truth serum developed by Master. With this, I'm not afraid he won't tell the truth!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black's eyes instantly showed panic. He closed his eyes and was about to bite down, but Nan Xiao quickly stepped on his face. When the man's consciousness became hazy, he withdrew his foot and took a step back.
"Who are you? Who sent you?"
"My name is Xia Fan. The Old Madam sent me. She told us to infiltrate Half-Mountain Villa, preferably to take away the two children. If we couldn't take them, we had to poison them, because only then would Nan Xiao and Lan Yuxi obey her."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "You're surnamed Xia? What's your relationship with Aunt Xia?"
"I'm a distant nephew of her husband. She introduced me to the Old Madam. The Old Madam has been paying me a salary, but she never actually used me. This time, she gave us a death order: if we fail to complete the mission, our families will be in mortal danger."
Nan Xiao continued to ask, "Where is the medicine?"
Xia Fan mechanically took out a handful of medicine from his pocket. Joyce quickly took it over. "I'll have someone analyze the ingredients of the medicine later."
Nan Xiao glanced at him and then asked, "How many people infiltrated this time?"
"Only two came in with the engineering team. The others are waiting in the back mountain for our rendezvous."
"Have you cleared the road in the back mountain?"
"Only a small path has been cleared."
"How many people are waiting to receive you?"
"Thirty people."
"Are these people all the Old Madam's subordinates?"
"Yes, the Old Madam has a secret team. No one knows how many people there are. They are all hidden in various professions."
"How does she contact you?"
"By phone."
Nan Xiao clenched his fist and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Joyce asked, knitting his brows.
"To the hospital. I must get that phone, or the situation will be out of control."
"Hurry up, I'll handle things here!"
"Your Master and I have made all the arrangements. You two just need to keep an eye on the children. If there's an emergency, call me, or just hold on for thirty minutes, and I'll resolve things here."
Ruan Sizhe glanced at his phone. "Everything is fine here, you can go with peace of mind."
Nan Xiao glanced back at him. "Were all those people captured by your Master's men?"
Ruan Sizhe held up his phone for him to see. "I just counted, thirty people in total. All accounted for."
"Let your Master handle these people when he gets back. I'm in a hurry to control those people," Nan Xiao said as he walked out quickly.
As Nan Xiao opened the car door, Nan Er ran over.
"Patriarch, I'll drive."
"You stay and protect the young master and young lady."
Nan Er reached out and opened the driver's door. "The young master said there's no more danger here and told me to make sure to protect you."
Nan Xiao looked up towards the master bedroom on the second floor and saw two small heads snuggled together, looking in his direction.
Nan Xiao waved to them and opened the rear car door to get in.
Nan Er accompanied Nan Xiao to the hospital and went straight to his mother's ward.
An Lanshu was suffering from a severe headache. Seeing her son arrive, she said incoherently, "You're here at the right time. Go quickly and call Huo Ding over. I have a headache, and my tongue is numb, I can't even roll it up."
Nan Xiao looked at her coldly. "You've done too many bad things, and even heaven can't stand it."
An Lanshu frowned displeasantly. "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't you have any shame? Must I make myself clear?" Nan Xiao reached for An Lanshu's pillow.
An Lanshu moved sluggishly, trying to press down on the pillow, but she had no strength.
Nan Xiao took out two phones from under the pillow and then used his mother's fingerprint to open the phone she rarely used.
An Lanshu looked at him in despair, but Nan Xiao didn't even look at her, directly opening the contacts.
There were a total of one hundred and eight people, none with names, only numbered codes from one to one hundred and eight.
Just as he was about to call them one by one, the phone suddenly rang.
Code One. It seemed this person was in charge.
"Old Madam, something's wrong! The Half-Mountain Villa operation has failed, and I can't contact them!"
Nan Xiao said in a low voice, "I am Nan Xiao. Those people are all in my hands. If you don't want to end up like them, retreat immediately."
"This..."
Nan Xiao glanced at his mother, who was so angry she couldn't speak, and said sternly, "My mother has had a stroke and cannot speak. Your relatives will be home soon. You should know what to do next!"
Number One paused, then hung up the phone with profuse thanks.
Nan Xiao walked to the bedside and looked coldly at his mother. "Xi Bao, Chao Chao, and Mu Mu are my bottom line. You've had thoughts you shouldn't have had. Although I can't do anything to you, I will definitely not treat you the same way as before."
An Lanshu's dry lips continued to move, but she couldn't utter a sound.
Nan Xiao turned to the outside of the door and said, "Someone, the Old Madam needs rest. Escort her."
"Yes!" As the words fell, two tall young men quickly entered.
An Lanshu tried to push them away, but her hands couldn't even be lifted.
An Lanshu looked pleadingly at the servant hiding in the corner. The servant quickly lowered his head.
After An Lanshu was carried out, Nan Xiao glanced coldly at the servant and turned to leave.
Seeing him emerge, Nan Er quickly reported, "Patriarch, the third master of the Lan family has come out. Although he bled a lot, his injuries are not serious. The people there said the matriarch said she won't be home tonight."
