Chapter 387: The Dosage Is Large

I took off my clothes,

He Zuming came over and asked: "How is it? Jianqiang, have you brought the person?"

"He's tied up, in the box, and Lao Wai?" I asked.

"He's still counting money in the room. Almost up to sixty thousand." He Zuming laughed.

I shouted towards the room: "Lao Wai, Lao Wai, come over, I'll find you something fun to do."

"Zhao Jianqiang, don't yell like that, you know how many times I've counted before I finished counting the money? You shouting like that makes me forget again. Now it's sixty-something thousand." Lao Wai came out of the room, huffing.

"Alright, why count it so precisely? This money is all yours." I said.

"Really, we can't talk nonsense; I've been tricked by you countless times." Lao Wai laughed proudly.

"What have I tricked you of? Lao Wai, what loss have you suffered from me? Honestly, keep talking like that and I'll beat you." I said angrily.

"Jianqiang, Jianqiang, look at you, really angry, we brothers are just joking."

"Only you give me that much money to spend."

"I've lived this long and never seen so much money."

"Damn, think about when I went out at night to rob, I only got a few dozen bucks."

"Now a room full of money."

"I can barely stand it."

"Jianqiang, Jianqiang, my good brother,"

"still, only with you can we make big money."

"Stop the chatter, quickly help Mr. He open the box." I ordered Lao Wai.

Lao Wai went to help He Zuming open the box.

I picked up the tea cup and took big gulps of water.

Really getting old, just pulling Ruan Wei left me out of breath.

Sigh, thinking back to when I threw Zhou Fuhai down from the ninth floor, I really admired myself.

"Hey, Jianqiang, this guy, I know him—we tied him up in Zaocheng, why tie him up again?" Lao Wai looked at Ruan Wei and asked.

"Huh, fate. Who let us meet him again in Sijiucheng?" I laughed.

He Zuming said: "Jianqiang, do we still need to tie this person up?"

I took out a cigarette,

"This guy, no need to tie him; as soon as he sees Lao Wai, he'll have a nervous breakdown."

"Yeah, I love this the most, Mr. He, make way."

"I'll come. I'll first strip his clothes off."

Lao Wai finished speaking and then started stripping Ruan Wei's clothes,

Soon he had Ruan Wei stark naked.

He Zuming said: "Lao Wai, what are you doing?"

"Haha, Mr. He, you'll have a good show soon." After Lao Wai said that, he went to look for a piece of rope in the room.

He began tying Ruan Wei up.

After tying, he pulled on it to test; it felt satisfactory.

"Jianqiang, now we can use water to wake him up." Lao Wai said.

I took out a cigarette,

"You spray."

Lao Wai was just about to pull out the faucet.

I hurried over and pushed Lao Wai aside,

"What are you doing, Lao Wai, you jerk? This is a sealed hotel room; do you still want us to squat in here? Use tap water."

Lao Wai hehe-he laughed,

He went into the bathroom, scooped water with a cup, and then splashed it onto Ruan Wei's face.

After a while, Ruan Wei still hadn't woken up.

Really strange; normally, Ruan Wei would definitely wake up.

Why hasn't he woken up after such a long time?

Could it be that he suffocated in the box? If he suffocated, that would be troublesome.

I quickly crouched down, put my hand on Ruan Wei's nose to test his breathing.

Fortunately, there was still a faint breath.

My heart settled.

I asked Lao Wai: "Lao Wai, I ask you, this time the mugwort incense you gave me is more than last time—what's going on?"

Lao Wai laughed,

"Jianqiang, you can smell it."

"Hehe, this is the pure stuff. I didn't have time to adulterate it. Last time I gave you, I mixed in a bit of salt, but it doesn't affect the usage effect."

This Lao Wai really messes things up.

"You old Lao Wai, why didn't you tell me you gave me the pure stuff? This amount could kill someone." I said angrily.

"Jianqiang, don't be angry; I just didn't have time to say it, I just wanted to make you pass out." Lao Wai explained.

"Jianqiang, what do we do? Could this cost a life?" He Zuming worried.

"No, it's just that this guy will take longer to wake up. Lao Wai, quickly get some water; we need to splash more water on him." I said.

Lao Wai brought more water, and I splashed it cup by cup onto Ruan Wei's face, hoping he'd wake up soon, but Ruan Wei still showed no sign of waking.

Looks like we need to pour water into his stomach.

I then had Lao Wai hold Ruan Wei's head,

I strained to pry open his mouth, then had He Zuming pour water in.

But his teeth were clenched tight; I couldn't pry them open. Water simply wouldn't go in.

What should we do?

I'm really afraid Ruan Wei will die. My plan will be greatly affected.

The three of us were busy for half a day, but it still didn't work.

"Jianqiang, we really can't do this; let's send this guy to the hospital—there's still time for rescue." He Zuming said.

"We can't send him to the hospital; doing so would expose us. Let Ding Li buy some medicine." My mind started racing.

"Lao Wai, I ask you: back when you were with Old Cat, did you ask him what antidote to use for this rosemary poisoning?"

Lao Wai tilted his head, thinking for a while,

"Water."

It wasn't a wasted question.

"I know water works, but Ruan Wei is poisoned too deeply. Water won't help now—don't you see that?"

There are other methods.

"I'm afraid that if Ruan Wei's poisoning is too deep, it will affect his brain; when he wakes up he'll forget everything, and we'll have essentially created a vegetable." I said to Lao Wai.

"I tested the medicine and was fine. Ruan Wei's physique is just too weak." Lao Wai said, looking at Ruan Wei.

"Your dose is too low, you know. I gave Ruan Wei a large dose—hey, Lao Wai, you're really screwing people over." I got a bit anxious.

"Jianqiang, let me think—what emergency method did Old Cat tell me back then?" Lao Wai picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"I've remembered, Jianqiang—Old Cat told me that if the poisoning is too deep and you can't pour water down the throat, then you should soak the person in water,"

then rub his back with your hands—Old Cat said the back has a point that directly affects the lungs. Let's quickly get Ruan Wei into the bathtub. I'll go run the water." Lao Wai said.

"Jianqiang, the back has the Lung Shu point; acupuncture can work there. I know a bit—I'll press the point for him." He Zuming said.

He Zuming feared Ruan Wei might really die here; he had never encountered such a situation.

I said: "Alright, let's do that quickly."

Together we lifted Ruan Wei into the bathtub, submerging his whole body in water.

Then we exposed his back.

and had He Zuming rub and press it.

We kept busy until late at night.

Ding Li had just returned from outside,

seeing us fussing over Ruan Wei,

then he asked me: "Brother Zhao, what kind of punishment are you using on Ruan Wei?"

"Never mind that—Lao Wai gave me the pure stuff, the dose was too large, and he still hasn't woken up." I said.

"Oh, that Lao Wai. Really." Ding Li walked into the bathroom, watching He Zuming pressing Ruan Wei's back.

He Zuming told Ding Li: "Your strength is great—give his back a hard punch to test it."

Ding Li replied: "Okay, Mr. He."

Then Ding Li raised his fist and struck Ruan Wei's back,

only to hear an "aiyo" sound come from Ruan Wei's mouth,

then he spat out a large amount of mucus from his mouth.

Ruan Wei woke up.

We all breathed a sigh of relief.
