With so many bodyguards in the castle, one more person sneaking in would just be one more person going to their death.
If only they could get in touch with Nangong Ruyue and have her help Xiao Zexin.
But they couldn’t contact Nangong Ruyue either.
Ruan Tianling shared his analysis, and Jian Yufei frowned, trying to co up with a solution.
"Why don’t we threaten soone from the Nangong Family to deliver the ssage?" Jian Yufei suggested.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes lit up, "I thought of soone."
"Who?"
"Carrie!"
The last ti they went to the castle on the mountain, they learned about the relationship between Carrie and Nangong Xu.
If they could get Carrie to deliver the ssage to the castle, it might succeed.
Plus, since Carrie is a woman, it would be easier for her to et Nangong Ruyue.
Jian Yufei nodded quickly, "Okay, let’s find her! But she likes Nangong Xu, will she help us?"
A hint of ruthless determination flashed in Ruan Tianling’s eyes.
"She won’t have a choice!"
No ti to lose, Ruan Tianling had Carrie’s family controlled.
They tricked Carrie into coming down the mountain and then took her under control.
When Ruan Tianling threatened people, he was never soft-hearted.
At first, Carrie wouldn’t give in, but when Ruan Tianling shot at her father right in front of her, she was scared into agreeing.
However, it was too dark, and if Carrie went to the castle now, it would arouse Nangong Xu’s suspicion.
Ruan Tianling decided to have her go early the next morning.
That night, many people couldn’t sleep.
anwhile, almost everyone in the castle caught a cold, and in one night, the cold virus spread like a plague.
Early the next morning, Nangong Xu woke up to the sound of coughs everywhere.
The bodyguards around him had all caught colds, and even the servants were not spared.
Nangong Xu frowned, "What’s going on?! How did this happen to everyone?!"
It had rained the night before, and the temperature had dropped.
One of the bodyguards said, "It seems we caught a chill last night."
A few others nodded in agreent.
"Go get treated! Don’t co near here until you’re better!" Nangong Xu ordered coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
After the bodyguards and servants withdrew, Nangong Xu realized his head was suddenly feeling warm too.
After breakfast, he started coughing as well.
"Sir, have you caught a cold too?" a servant asked cautiously.
Nangong Xu squinted, feeling that sothing was not quite right.
"Sir, Dr. Edward and the others said they have sothing to report and urgently need you to go!" a bodyguard hurried in to inform him.
Nangong Xu got up and instructed coldly, "Find so people who haven’t caught a cold to look after Madam, and make sure no sick people go near her!"
"Yes, sir!"
Nangong Xu strode to the hospital, and just after he left, Carrie arrived at the castle, asking to see Nangong Ruyue.
In the hospital’s laboratory, several doctors were gathered with grave expressions, discussing sothing.
They all wore masks, and Dr. Zhao was disinfecting each of them.
Nangong Xu walked in with big strides, and upon seeing him, a doctor hurriedly handed him a mask.
"Sir, please wear this to avoid infection."
Nangong Xu disdainfully waved it away and asked coldly, "What on earth is going on? Why is practically everyone sick?!"
Dr. Edward said, "Sir, we’ve preliminarily determined that it’s an infection by a mutated cold virus. This virus spreads rapidly, and everyone in the ward is infected."
As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse rushed in with a worried expression.
"Several patients have gone into shock and may be in life-threatening danger at any mont!"
