Chapter 181: 178. Detoxification Lotus
Zhao Jingyu and Siyan were in a car with two others following toward the hospital; Meng Zixuan was driving at the time because Zhao Jingyu was also a bit out of sorts.
She had originally thought that Zhang Ran was the last person she could think of, but she hadn't expected the effect to be so good.
As soon as Zhang Ran arrived, he solved the matter.
Those people who had originally blocked the entrance looked at Zhang Ran as if a mouse had seen a cat, not daring to let out even a fart.
And the unreasonable pestering of people like Sun Guilan seemed completely ineffective when it came to Zhang Ran.
Just a moment ago, when the medical staff were transferring Huo Zhiyuan onto the ambulance, Sun Guilan had made a huge scene; this was what she was best at—crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—it had almost become her signature skill.
But at that time, Zhang Ran had only glanced indifferently at Zhao Hu, and that fierce-looking man had rushed up and beaten Sun Guilan severely without a moment's hesitation, seemingly afraid that he would be too slow to act.
With that incident, Huo Li and Huo San, who had originally wanted to cause trouble, all quieted down.
"Assistant Zhao, do my dad and Huo Yi know each other?" Siyan finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jingyu also came back to her senses, looked at Siyan, and wore an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.
It was Huo Xin who spoke up, "More than just knowing each other; logically speaking, my sister should still be considered one of your Zhang Family members!"
"Huh? Huh, huh, huh?" A row of question marks appeared on Siyan's forehead.
As for the other two, upon hearing this, they just remained silently quiet.
Huo Xin had also opened up by this point and, without hiding anything, said directly, "Back then, my parents sold my sister just to get a wife for their son.
It was Mr. Zhang who saved my sister at that time, and it was he who paid to buy my sister back. Not only that, but all the expenses for my sister's schooling and meals afterward were paid for by Mr. Zhang.
Even the money I spent all those years was, fundamentally speaking, also given by Mr. Zhang."
After hearing this, Siyan was completely dazed; she hadn't expected that the famous President Huo Zhiyuan actually had such a past.
And it was even related to her father.
At this moment, a matter suddenly occurred to Siyan: it was about Sun Ermin. At the time, Zhang Ran had said it seemed he had offended those people because he saved a girl, and then he broke their legs.
Siyan whispered to herself in her heart: It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
By the time Siyan came back to her senses, they were almost at the hospital. "Assistant Zhao, so that's to say, President Huo taking such good care of me is to repay a debt of gratitude?"
Siyan also understood at this moment why Huo Zhiyuan took such care of her, as if she were her own junior.
No, it should be said that she was even more caring than toward her own junior, after all, Huo Jiaxiong was still a small employee under her.
Zhao Jingyu looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said, "If that's how you think, there's no problem with that, but as for what President Huo is thinking, you'll need to ask President Huo."
Huo Xin and Meng Zixuan both looked at Siyan but didn't say anything; they both knew the situation. Should they tell her that, actually, Huo Zhiyuan wasn't doing it to repay a debt of gratitude, but to be her stepmother?
Upon arriving at the hospital, Meng He had already made arrangements, and soon a large group of experts conducted a consultation, and the results came out quickly.
"Mr. Meng, if our diagnosis is correct, President Huo should have been poisoned," the expert said.
After hearing this, the faces of Zhang Ran and Meng He were both incomparably ugly; from the current situation, it was not hard to guess who had done it.
They hadn't expected that Huo Zhiyuan's parents would be cruel to this extent, and they also couldn't understand why Huo Zhiyuan's parents would do such a thing.
"Is there any way to detoxify her?" Meng He asked hurriedly; this was the most critical question.
But the expert gave an answer that made his heart turn to ash, "Sorry, this poison in President Huo was not contracted suddenly, but over a very long time; some toxins have already invaded the brain.
We can only say we will try our best now, but we cannot guarantee anything. We are very sorry!"
Huo Xin collapsed onto the ground all at once, looking as if she had been turned into a fool!
The rest of the people also had expressions of disbelief; they couldn't believe this was true. Was Huo Zhiyuan really going to remain in a coma like this?
However, at this moment, Zhang Ran closed his eyes. A moment later, Zhang Ran said, "Doctor, sorry to trouble you, we are transferring hospitals."
"This gentleman, I can responsibly tell you that such a condition cannot be solved just by transferring hospitals," the expert said, somewhat displeased, thinking Zhang Ran did not trust them.
Zhang Ran said, "I know a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who is very skilled, and I want him to take a look."
Once Zhang Ran said this, the expert stopped talking. Compared to others, these old experts actually knew that some old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were indeed very skilled; this was undeniable, especially with some difficult and complicated illnesses.
What was unexpected next was that Zhang Ran did not take Huo Zhiyuan to see any old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but instead came to a private nursing home. The equipment here was no worse than the hospital's, and in terms of nursing and examinations, it was top-notch. This was the place Meng He had found.
Afterward, Zhang Ran went out for a trip, for about two hours. When Zhang Ran returned again, he was holding a lotus flower in his hand.
However, only He Yong saw this at the time; as for the others, they had all been called away to another place by He Yong.
Zhang Ran nodded at He Yong, and then walked into the ward. Meanwhile, He Yong was incomparably focused, his body was tense, and his eyes were sharp, guarding the surroundings for Zhang Ran.
At this time, he would not allow anyone to approach!
Inside the ward, Zhang Ran looked at Huo Zhiyuan and sighed, saying, "Sigh, you, oh you, why is your life so bitter?
It's a good thing I came back. If I hadn't come back, would you have just remained in a coma for the rest of your life?
You're such a grown adult, yet you don't learn a lesson at all. It's not that I'm lecturing you, but why do you still bother with those parents of yours?"
Zhang Ran suddenly became long-winded at this moment, but the movements of his hands didn't stop, as he stuffed the petals into Huo Zhiyuan's mouth one by one.
Detoxification Lotus, Lv5.
This thing had cost Zhang Ran quite a bit of energy, and this was the reason why Zhang Ran had Huo Zhiyuan transferred; it wasn't because of any old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but because of this.
While Zhang Ran fed Huo Zhiyuan the Detoxification Lotus, he kept on chattering.
It was just that he didn't notice that after the first petal of the Detoxification Lotus entered her mouth, Huo Zhiyuan's fingers moved slightly.
And as Zhang Ran kept chattering away, Huo Zhiyuan's fingers, which had originally had some movement, suddenly stopped moving, as if the Detoxification Lotus had no effect at all.
After Zhang Ran had completely fed the Detoxification Lotus to Huo Zhiyuan, seeing that Huo Zhiyuan had no intention of waking up, he didn't stop talking.
"You say you're a girl, why are you so driven? And you don't pay any attention to safety at all. Look at you now, what have you become?"
When he said this, Huo Zhiyuan's fingers involuntarily clenched slightly, but very quickly returned to their original state.
