Xia Ruofei followed Liu Qunfeng to the second floor. Elder Liu still lived in his original room, but compared to when Xia Ruofei first came for a follow-up visit, this place was now full of tension. Moreover, with a casual sweep of his mental power, he could find several people on guard.
Obviously, Family Liu also suspected that the deterioration of Elder Liu's condition might be due to human factors.
In addition to the guards, there were also many medical staff here.
In the past, when Xia Ruofei treated Elder Liu, the Family Liu only left two health care doctors and a few nurses in this house because the results were very obvious. Now, there was a whole medical team stationed in this house, and they were all experts from 301.
After entering the room, two doctors were checking the data of the life-support equipment. Elder Liu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face ashen. He was already on the ventilator.
The room was very quiet. Except for the rhythmic beeping of the equipment, no one spoke. The air was filled with a dignified atmosphere.
Seeing Liu Qunfeng come in, the two doctors nodded at him to greet him.
Liu Qunfeng knew Xia Ruofei's rules and whispered to them, "Dr. Hu, Dr. Zhang, please go to the next room and rest first."
The two doctors nodded and left the room with the nurses.
Under Liu Qunfeng's signal, the two big men in charge of guarding silently retreated.
At this time, Liu Qunfeng said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, then I'll leave this place to you!"
After saying that, Liu Qunfeng bowed deeply to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Liu Qunfeng. Compared to the first time he saw Liu Qunfeng, the current Liu Qunfeng looked a lot older.
With his bow, Xia Ruofei could clearly see the roots of his gray hair.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also knew that Liu Qunfeng was so haggard. On one hand, it was because Elder Liu's illness had made him mentally and physically exhausted. On the other hand, it was because of the pain of losing his son, which was a huge blow to him.
Xia Ruofei faintly replied, "Department Head Liu, you're being too polite. Treating Sire Liu is part of my duty. Please be reassured that I will find out the reason for the relapse of his illness and do my best to treat Sire Liu. If … it's really beyond my ability, I'll definitely give the Family Liu an explanation. "
Liu Qunfeng looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Xia, you're exaggerating. Your treatment of my father was very successful. Everyone saw it. Even if … we won't blame you."
At a time like this, Liu Qunfeng naturally had to do his best to support Xia Ruofei. Otherwise, if this master were to really quit, then Elder Liu would definitely be in a dead end.
In the past two days, the experts from 301 had tried their best, but they still couldn't stop Elder Liu's illness from worsening. Elder Liu's vital signs were weakening bit by bit, and the tumor cells in his body began to wreak havoc again.
In fact, pancreatic cancer was very dangerous, and the progression of the disease was also very fast. In a sense, if Xia Ruofei hadn't intervened, the current progression curve would have been normal.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's not think about that for now. The most important thing now is to do our best to save Elder Liu's life."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qunfeng quickly said, "Mr. Xia, then I won't bother you anymore!"
After that, he slightly bowed to Xia Ruofei, then quickly left the room and personally closed the door from the outside.
After leaving the room, Liu Qunfeng regained some of his dignity. He said to the two big men guarding the door, "Move your posts to the stairs. Without my permission, no one is allowed to go near the old man's room, including yourselves! Also … no matter what happens in the room, unless Mr. Xia personally calls for you, you are not allowed to enter the room without permission! "
"Yes, sir!" The two men respectfully replied.
The two big men moved to the stairs according to Liu Qunfeng's instructions, their bright eyes constantly watching the situation in Elder Liu's room.
Liu Qunfeng turned around and looked at the tightly shut door. He sighed inwardly and walked towards the staircase with a worried expression.
In the room, Xia Ruofei first used his spiritual power to scan the entire room.
This time, Family Liu learned his lesson and didn't set up any monitoring devices.
Xia Ruofei walked to the window and took a deep look in one direction. Then, she pulled the curtains shut.
Xia Ruofei wasn't surprised that Family Liu set up security guards outside.
After checking the security situation, Xia Ruofei walked to Elder Liu's bed and reached out to take his pulse. Then, he released his spiritual power and began to scan the situation in his body along his meridians.
Xia Ruofei's brows furrowed slightly — after the previous treatment, the tumor cells in Elder Liu's body had already lost their vitality and could only linger on in a corner. But now, those tumor cells seemed to have reignited from the ashes and were obviously full of vitality, and the signs of spreading were quite obvious.
Why did this happen?
Obviously, the force suppressing the tumor cells had disappeared, so they could rapidly grow by absorbing the energy of the host's body and continuously divide new cancer cells.
Through the examination just now, Xia Ruofei didn't find any signs of poisoning in Elder Liu.
Then, the answer was obvious — the problem was probably with the pills.
Xia Ruofei muttered to himself for a moment and took out a set of acupuncture needles from his bag. Using the Cloud Contact Nine Needles, he first locked Elder Liu's vitality and temporarily suppressed the raging cancer cells.
Of course, when the illness was so serious, acupuncture alone couldn't completely eliminate the cancer cells. To put it bluntly, it was only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. It could only delay the effect. To truly cure the illness, he still had to rely on the composition of the Spirit Heart Flower's petals.
At least until now, the composition of the Spirit Heart Flower's petals could be said to be successful in treating illnesses in the secular world. There had never been a case of failure.
However, Xia Ruofei definitely wouldn't take out the Spirit Heart Flower's petals so easily. He had to find out what was going on first. At least, he couldn't be the scapegoat.
Moreover, when he thought about how the Spirit Heart Flower's petals were wasted in the early stage of the treatment, he felt a burst of dissatisfaction. He didn't have any friendship with Family Liu, so now he had to pay so much. At least, he had to let Family Liu know what was going on.
On this basis, his loss naturally had to be borne by Family Liu.
With that in mind, Xia Ruofei walked out of Elder Liu's room.
The two big men who had been guarding the staircase immediately walked over. One of them asked respectfully, "Mr. Xia, what can I do for you?"
"Go, ask Director Liu to come over!" Xia Ruofei said calmly, then turned around and went back into his room.
"Yes!"
After a while, Liu Qunfeng arrived at Elder Liu's room.
Liu Qunfeng saw that his father was still unconscious on the bed, but there were a few more silver needles on his body. For some reason, even though Elder Liu didn't seem to have changed, Liu Qunfeng's heart felt a little more at ease.
"Mr. Xia, have you found the reason why my father's condition is worsening?" Liu Qunfeng asked with a hint of anticipation.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Through the examination, I already have a preliminary judgment, but I still need to verify it."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, then asked, "Director Liu, the batch of pills I left behind should still be there, right?"
Liu Qunfeng nodded and said, "There are still a lot of pills. They're all in the refrigerator in the next room."
"Can you take me to have a look?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"Of course!" Liu Qunfeng quickly said, "Mr. Xia, this way please!"
After that, Liu Qunfeng personally led Xia Ruofei to the next room.
This room was connected to Elder Liu's room. Usually, there were medical staff stationed here. At the same time, there were people guarding the refrigerator 24 hours a day.
Because Xia Ruofei didn't like to be disturbed during treatment, Liu Qunfeng had already sent all the staff away. Only a big man in black was left to guard the refrigerator where the pills were stored.
When the big man saw Liu Qunfeng and Xia Ruofei coming over, he quickly bowed and greeted them.
Liu Qunfeng asked faintly, "Is everything normal here?"
"Yes, since I took over until now, no one has entered this room!" The big man in black replied respectfully.
Liu Qunfeng nodded and said, "You can leave first!"
"No need!" Xia Ruofei suddenly said, "Let him stay here!"
The reason why he asked Liu Qunfeng to come over was that he wanted Liu Qunfeng to be a witness. He didn't want the Liu Family to think that there was something wrong with the pills.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also had some questions to ask the big man in black, who was in charge of guarding the pills, so he asked him to stay as a witness.
The big man in black looked at Liu Qunfeng. Naturally, he would listen to Liu Qunfeng's instructions.
Liu Qunfeng nodded slightly. The big man in black immediately said, "Yes!"
Then he walked to the side and stood straight.
Xia Ruofei said, "Brother, you don't have to stand so far away. Please come over and open the fridge and take out the rest of the pills. "
"Yes!" The big man in black said.
After getting Liu Qunfeng's permission, the big man in black walked over and opened the fridge door. He carefully took out a food container from inside.
Inside the food container were pills. Each pill was wrapped in plastic wrap and stacked inside the food container.
There were roughly twenty to thirty pills, which meant that under normal circumstances, these pills could still be used for a month or so.
Xia Ruofei ordered, "Open the lid! I want to see these pills! "
"Open the lid!" Liu Qunfeng immediately ordered.
"Yes!" The big man in black replied, and then carefully opened the lid of the food container.
In fact, Xia Ruofei's spiritual power had already scanned every single pill. The reason why he asked the big man in black to open the box was to let Liu Qunfeng see more clearly.
After scanning with his spiritual power, Xia Ruofei came to a definite conclusion. The problem was indeed with the pills.
Although these pills didn't seem to have any changes, under the scan of Xia Ruofei's mental power, they couldn't hide anything. The Spirit Heart Flower petals in each pill had disappeared without a trace.
Without the Spirit Heart Flower petals, these pills were just the most ordinary nourishing pills.
No wonder Elder Liu didn't have any effect after taking these pills.
Moreover, without the suppression of the Spirit Heart Flower petals, the cancer cells in Elder Liu's body naturally began to become active again, and then slowly ate away at his body.
One had to know that pancreatic cancer developed very quickly. Within a week, all the treatment effects were gone. The situation was even worse than before Xia Ruofei's intervention.
Liu Qunfeng looked at the pills in the food container and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia, is there something wrong with these pills?"
Xia Ruofei didn't answer Liu Qunfeng's question directly. Instead, he asked, "Who usually comes into contact with these pills?"
Liu Qunfeng didn't even think about it and said, "It's mainly the nurses in charge of taking care of Elder Liu."
Then, Liu Qunfeng pointed at the big man in black and said, "The nurses also took the pills under their watch. From here to Elder Liu's room, the whole process was under surveillance. There shouldn't be any chance for them to do anything."
In fact, Liu Qunfeng didn't say one more thing. If the remaining pills in the food container were also tampered with, then it was even more impossible.
Because the nurses took very little time each time to take the pills, it was impossible for them to tamper with each pill.
Xia Ruofei looked at the big man in black and asked, "What about them? They were in charge of guarding these pills. They should have enough time to do something with these pills, right? "
The big man in black suddenly showed a trace of anger, but he quickly lowered his head. He didn't dare to show it in front of Xia Ruofei.
Liu Qunfeng explained, "Mr. Xia, before Elder Liu's condition worsened, there were at least two people on duty here. In addition to the doctors and nurses who were permanently on duty here, there were five or six people in this room at all times. Moreover, there were eight cameras in this room, aimed at the refrigerator from many angles. It could be said that there were no blind spots. It was impossible for them to come into contact with the pills without anyone noticing."
Xia Ruofei nodded and agreed with Liu Qunfeng's point of view.
If the situation of the people in this room was as Liu Qunfeng said before Elder Liu's condition worsened, then these staff could indeed be ruled out as suspects. After Elder Liu's condition worsened, even if the people here had the opportunity to secretly come into contact with the pills, it didn't mean that there was a problem.
Because it was obvious that Elder Liu's condition worsened a week ago, which meant that these pills must have all gone wrong a week ago. If only some of the pills were tampered with, then from a probability point of view, it was unlikely that Elder Liu would be so unlucky to have taken all the pills that had been tampered with.
As long as there was one pill that was normal during the process, then at least the illness would have been contained to a certain extent.
What's more, now that the pills in the crisper box had lost their medicinal properties, the person who had tampered with the pills wouldn't have taken the risk of being exposed and tampered with the pills again after they had succeeded.
This didn't make sense at all.
Therefore, the first fact was that Elder Liu's condition worsened because the pills had been tampered with. The second fact that could be confirmed was that this incident happened a week ago, or even a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei asked, "Department Head Liu, may I ask who came into contact with the pills seven or eight days ago?"
"We should have a record of the nurses who were on duty during those few days. We'll know once we check," Liu Qunfeng said.
"Although we can check, don't get your hopes up," Xia Ruofei said lightly, "This person is unlikely to be a doctor or nurse."
"Then …" Liu Qunfeng carefully recalled. Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a strange expression.
Xia Ruofei saw it clearly from the side. He smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Department Head Liu already has an answer in his heart? If you don't mind, I'd like to hear your judgment! "
