The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

"Boss Nan, is it time to take the medicine?"

A cold female voice sounded.

Nan Zhiyi slowly shifted her gaze from the documents on the desk.

The tip of his nose twitched slightly, his brows slightly frowned, his eyes slightly puzzled, and he leaned back in his office chair with some fatigue.

He gently rubbed his temple with his pale, slender hands that had faintly visible blue veins.

It felt like there was a stone pressing on my chest and I couldn't breathe.

I felt a dull pain in my heart and a slight itch in my throat. I habitually took out a handkerchief from my pocket and coughed a few times.

There was a familiar sweet and fishy taste in the throat, which gave the usually pale face a light blush.

Originally, I should be happy to see Nan Zhiyi, who has always bullied me, feeling so miserable.

Starry Sky Beast didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt depressed and uncomfortable. He flew beside him anxiously and worriedly.

I feel as if all the previous hurt was caused by myself and that I always owe him something.

"Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just not used to it. Why is it a sickly script this time?"

"Master, because you acted too strong, you overpowered all the villains and reported them to the police, so this is a punishment dungeon. I hope you can be more restrained."

"By the way, don't drink the medicine Qin Yixue brought. It's poisonous."

"Oh, you thought I couldn't move because I didn't have a healthy body."

Nan Zhiyi secretly took note of it in her heart.

Perhaps because she felt that Nan Zhiyi had been ignoring her, Qin Yixiu became a little impatient and reminded her again.

"Boss Nan, it's been four hours. It's time to take your medicine."

"Ah."

Nan Zhiyi also knew that this was not a good time to accept the plot, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman next to him with an indifferent expression.

Qin Yixiu was wearing a white medical coat and looked at Nan Zhiyi expressionlessly, as if she was a robot performing her duties. There was some impatience in her eyes, and her fingers were slightly bent, tightly clasping the medicine bowl.

Seeing Nan Zhiyi nod lightly and staring at him instead of taking the medicine and drinking it immediately as usual, he frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Could it be that he discovered something?

Logically, this shouldn't happen. T06 is a poison I developed myself. It is colorless and tasteless. Even the teacher can't detect it. The whole process was not done by anyone else. Or...

Thinking of Qin Yixue frowning, pretending to be worried, she advised with some disapproval:

"Boss Nan, you were born with this disease, and you've been working so hard, so you can only rely on medicine to keep you going. You can't just give up on yourself. The medicine is getting cold, so you should drink it as soon as possible, okay?"

"Why did the medicine change without informing me?"

Nan Zhiyi leaned lazily on the office chair, still looking at Qin Yixiue expressionlessly, with inquiry and coldness in his eyes.

The tone was like that of an acquaintance chatting, saying irrelevant things, but it inexplicably made Qin Yixiu feel more stressed.

The woman held the medicine bowl tighter, and cold sweat broke out on her back. She didn't dare to look directly at Nan Zhiyi, and looked at the medicine seriously.

"Boss Nan, are you kidding me? The medicine is made according to the recipe given by the master. It has always been like this. How could it change?"

"Really?"

Nan Zhiyi waved his hand nonchalantly, took the medicine and blew on it gently.

Qin Yixue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Nan Zhiyi take the medicine. But when she found out that he didn't drink it, she knew that her words had not completely dispelled his suspicions, and her body tensed up instantly, ready to make another effort.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes, his whole body filled with sadness, and spoke with deep sorrow.

"Boss Nan, even if you don't believe me, you should believe my master!"

"He has taken care of your family for three generations and has never made any mistakes. Why do you suspect us for no reason?"

“I heard someone offered a large sum of money to buy my life and was planning to put drugs in my medicine?

And you know some poisons are colorless and odorless.”

There is no way he didn't know about such an obvious problem. If you are determined to die, I will respect your choice.

Thinking of this, Nan Zhiyi raised her head and drank the medicine in one gulp, then wiped the remaining medicine from the corner of her mouth with the other corner of her handkerchief.

His brows furrowed even tighter, and his face became paler and greenish, as if the medicine was difficult to swallow.

The white handkerchief embroidered with orchids has a bright red touch on it.

Qin Yixiu's heart, which was originally tense, gradually turned into excitement after seeing the red color on the handkerchief.

With a serious and worried expression, he took the handkerchief and medicine bowl handed to him by Nan Zhiyi.

If Nan Zhiyi really knew about it, given his personality, he would not have kept it secret. It seemed like he was trying to warn me. It was worth my painstaking efforts to get the teacher out of the way. It worked so quickly.

"Boss Nan, don't worry. With us here, they won't be able to take advantage of any loopholes. Thank you for reminding us."

"By the way, Mr. Nan, I think your condition seems to be getting worse. Do you want to tell the teacher and ask him to come back soon?"

"No, don't tell him about this for now."

Nan Zhiyi stood up and walked to the balcony, looked up at the sun outside, and saw the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The sun's rays sprinkled down, giving him a layer of golden light, which was shattered as if he could ride on the sun's light and leave at any time.

Qin Yixiu looked at this scene and for some reason, she felt a slight pain in her heart and felt a little bit reluctant.

What a pity, if you hadn't betrayed the motherland, I wouldn't have wanted to take your life. If you want to blame someone, blame it on you for standing on the wrong side and having unnecessary delusions.

Nan Zhiyi felt better as she looked at the scenery outside, but the itchiness in her throat became stronger. She coughed violently again, then helplessly pulled her thin coat closer and walked back.

"How much time do I have left?"

A cold voice without a trace of ups and downs sounded, pulling Qin Yixiu's thoughts back and making her hesitate.

"Boss Nan, you... probably... still have three months."

Three months is a bit short. I wonder what the mission this time is?

"Okay, I understand, go down!"

"Yes."

"By the way, call the butler in five minutes. I have something to tell him."

Qin Yixiu turned her back to Nan Zhiyi, holding the door handle and was stunned for a moment. She nodded and slowly left.

Having said that, Qin Yixiu pulled the medicine bowl out and closed the door. The room suddenly became quiet again.

"Master, didn't I tell you that the medicine was poisonous? Why did you drink it?"

Nan Zhiyi sat back at the table, stroking the gold-stamped handwritten invitation. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't plan to reply to Xingkong Beast's words.

"Tell me about this mission?"
