Chapter 514: Counterkill
Acupuncture can also make a person faint or feel weak...
That day happened to be a chance coincidence, as a patient in a coma suddenly arrived at the clinic.
It was said that the patient had been in an unexplained coma for several days. After Su Jinnian, Xia Ping, and others tried to diagnose and treat the patient without success, they immediately went to find Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue.
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, who were at home taking care of the child, came over right away.
Shen Ci looked for a while but also had no solution; the patient had no underlying diseases and no signs of poisoning, making the situation unclear.
In the end, Meng Chuyue took over to take the patient's pulse.
Just as she started, Shen Ci's phone rang.
He hesitated for a moment, then went to the office to answer the call.
While everyone was focused on treating the patient, Lee Mi hesitated, then quietly approached Meng Chuyue and, taking advantage of her and the others' inattention, stabbed her unconsciousness acupuncture point with a silver needle.
Meng Chuyue immediately fainted.
By the time the others realized what had happened, it was too late. Lee Mi already had a small knife pressed against Meng Chuyue's throat.
"Don't move, or I'll kill her first."
At the same moment, Xia Ping's scream startled Shen Ci.
Seeing the scene before him, he narrowed his eyes and asked Lee Mi, "Tell us, what do we have to do for you to let her go?"
To avoid pushing Lee Mi into a desperate corner, Shen Ci didn't reveal her true identity.
"I need to talk to her alone about this. You can be assured, I'm just here to get something from her. If you let me go, I won't kill her for now."
Shen Ci and the others knew she probably wasn't lying.
If she wanted to kill Meng Chuyue, she would have done it already, not just knocked her unconscious.
Shen Ci thought about it then nodded, "I believe you. Take her and go."
Meng Chuyue had space-shifting abilities, as long as Lee Mi didn't kill her for the moment.
The moment she regained consciousness, she could save herself and counterattack.
The others might not have known about Meng Chuyue's space-shifting ability, but they knew her medical skills and physical abilities were very good, especially her strength.
Lee Mi had succeeded earlier by taking them by surprise.
Seeing Shen Ci agree, they didn't say anything.
...
However, what everyone, including Shen Ci and Lee Mi, didn't expect was that Meng Chuyue suddenly woke up and, with lightning speed, grabbed Lee Mi's knife-wielding hand, squeezed hard, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang.
However, because she had just woken up, Meng Chuyue didn't use much strength, and the damage she caused Lee Mi was not severe.
Lee Mi's reaction was quick, and she pushed Meng Chuyue away and ran for it.
Shen Ci and Su Jinnian immediately gave chase, only for the nanny to come over with Han Xi at that moment...
Lee Mi's gaze darkened as she picked up Han Xi and ran, shouting as she went, "Don't chase me, or don't blame me for not being polite. Rest assured, I only want one thing from Meng Chuyue. If you wait for the news obediently, I won't harm Han Xi."
Under these circumstances, they naturally couldn't chase after her, so everyone immediately stopped. However, this did not include Erhu.
Without Meng Chuyue's command, Erhu stealthily followed Lee Mi.
The others, who heard the news, came running from the next room, cursing Lee Mi to no end.
It wasn't long before Han Muxuan and Lin Muyun, both at work outside, got the news too. Their faces immediately darkened, but they didn't curse Lee Mi aloud; instead, they mentally tore her to pieces.
Erhu swiftly brought back news, saying Lee Mi had taken Han Xi to a small earthen building in the suburbs she had rented a long time ago.
She hadn't been rough with Han Xi, and the child wasn't scared.
Erhu had teleported there and quickly teleported back.
Worried that Lee Mi would change locations and lose her, Erhu followed closely.
At that moment, Lee Mi's call also came in.
She called Meng Chuyue directly and demanded she answer the phone alone or else bear the consequences.
Meng Chuyue then took Shen Ci and Han Zheng into the space, and then "alone" she answered the phone.
