These words were spoken in front of Gao Mingyuan's phone, so Yang Tiancheng naturally heard them clearly. Before Gao Mingyuan could speak, Yang Tiancheng hurriedly said, "Manager Gao, are you on your way? Brother Zhou isn't feeling well, so please bring him here quickly. You can come along too, come to my house and have some fun. I happen to have a private doctor here, he's very expensive, so you can also check Brother Zhou's health. It's a rare opportunity!"
Gao Mingyuan turned his head and stared at Zhou Xuan without saying a word, his expression asking for Zhou Xuan's opinion. Zhou Xuan deliberately said in a muffled voice, "Okay, okay, go ahead. I'm feeling unwell. Let's ask Mr. Yang's doctor to take a look. My chest feels tight!"
Zhou Xuan didn't explain anything to Gao Mingyuan, but instead pretended to be genuine. He couldn't let his true colors slip in front of Gao Mingyuan, as Yang Tiancheng might see through his disguise.
Gao Mingyuan immediately became anxious and quickly started the car. While driving, he glanced at Zhou Xuan and said irritably, "You were fine just now, how come you suddenly feel unwell? Brother, are you feeling really bad? If it's serious, let's go straight to the hospital!"

"No need, no need, it's not that serious. Let's go to Mr. Yang's place and have his doctor check it out. It should be fine!"
Zhou Xuan appeared slightly more relaxed, which made Gao Mingyuan less nervous.
Gao Mingyuan had never been to Yang Tiancheng's villa. Later, Yang Tiancheng told Gao Mingyuan the detailed address. As soon as he said the name, Gao Mingyuan knew where it was.
He's a local, and he knows every corner of the city. The address Yang Tiancheng mentioned is a newly developed upscale villa area that's only a few years old. The prices there are among the highest in the province, with each villa costing tens of millions, or even over a hundred million. Although Gao Mingyuan has made a fortune, he's really just a nouveau riche. As for villas like those in this area, he can only look on with envy. He can't afford to buy one. He would never give up all his assets to buy a house and then live a frugal life.
Moreover, even if he used all his assets to buy a house, it probably wouldn't be enough. If the casino lost more than 200 million, then he could afford to buy one.
In Gao Mingyuan's memory, this area was just a large expanse of empty land a few years ago, but now it has been developed into a top-end villa district. As he walked along, he was impressed by the scenery and facilities of the villa district, which made Gao Mingyuan sigh and say that you really get what you pay for!
Zhou Xuan relaxed his brows, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to rest. Gao Mingyuan saw that Zhou Xuan didn't seem to be in any discomfort, so he didn't disturb him. He just drove carefully. The road was good, and the speed wasn't too fast, so Gao Mingyuan drove very smoothly.
When the car entered the private garden of Yang Tiancheng's villa, a large swimming pool came into view. There were more than a dozen women swimming in the pool, looking like a group of mermaids, their fair and tender bodies were particularly alluring!
Gao Mingyuan's face lit up with a smile, and he quickly drove the car to an open space on the side. There were quite a few other cars parked there, but they were all luxury cars. Compared to them, Gao Mingyuan's Volkswagen looked like a dilapidated bicycle.
Yang Tiancheng's bodyguards rushed over to greet him. Gao Mingyuan was all smiles and called out to Zhou Xuan, but when he saw Zhou Xuan's face, which was ashen and pale, he was quite surprised!
"Brother Zhou, are you alright? What happened to you?" Although he was a womanizer, Gao Mingyuan was still concerned about Zhou Xuan's health, and immediately said, "Forget it, let's stop playing around, brother, let's go to the hospital. You can't go without going to the hospital in this condition!"
Gao Mingyuan, of course, had no idea that Zhou Xuan was deliberately faking it, and he wasn't going to leave anyway. However, before he could say anything to Gao Mingyuan, one of Yang Tiancheng's bodyguards said, "Manager Gao, don't worry. Our Mr. Yang's private doctor is an internationally renowned medical expert. Most problems are no problem for him. Mr. Yang also instructed that the doctor will diagnose and treat Mr. Zhou alone. Please wait up ahead and have some fun, Manager Gao. There are many beautiful women there; you might as well go swimming with them, or even try your hand at diving..."
Gao Mingyuan was overjoyed and immediately agreed. He then said to Zhou Xuan, "Brother, if there's nothing seriously wrong, go out and have some fun after the check-up. This girl..."
These swimming women were all beautiful and alluring. Gao Mingyuan wanted to say that these girls were really something, but seeing Zhou Xuan's sickly expression, he swallowed his words.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he should go by himself and not worry about him, and then followed the bodyguard into the villa.
There were only two people in the hall: Yang Tiancheng and an unfamiliar foreign man. As soon as Zhou Xuan entered, Yang Tiancheng immediately stood up to greet him and pulled him to sit on the sofa. The bodyguard who brought Zhou Xuan into the hall then left and closed the door.
Zhou Xuan forced out his breath, making his face even more disheveled and ashen, looking very uncomfortable. Yang Tiancheng knew that he was experiencing drug withdrawal. It was expected that he would have an attack last night, and at least two attacks today. Because it was his first time injecting drugs, the interval would be a little longer, but the dosage was heavy, so the time wouldn't be much longer. Zhou Xuan's appearance indicated that he had had at least two attacks.
Yang Tiancheng was secretly pleased, but outwardly he showed concern and asked, "Brother, how long have you been like this? Has this happened before?"
Zhou Xuan took a breath before answering, "I had this feeling once at six o'clock this morning. I felt nauseous and dry heaved. I felt very uncomfortable. I've never had this happen before. I took some medicine, but it didn't work. I didn't want to eat breakfast either. I felt a little better afterward, but now it's back, and it feels even worse than this morning!"
That's right!
When drug withdrawal strikes, each episode is naturally more severe and more painful than the last! Yang Tiancheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. My private doctor is here in China on vacation and happened to come across your situation, so I had him check you out while I was at it!"
Yang Tiancheng said a few words to the foreigner, which Zhou Xuan couldn't understand, but he immediately pressed the language communication device on his right wrist and selected the foreigner as the communication partner. The foreigner's words immediately entered Zhou Xuan's brain in a form that Zhou Xuan could understand.
"Mr. Yang, you want me to pretend to be a doctor, but I don't know anything about medicine. Don't blame me if something goes wrong!"
"No problem, don't worry. He's just having a drug withdrawal. When someone's having withdrawal, they don't care whether you're a real doctor or not. Just inject the drugs into his veins, don't worry, he won't be able to tell!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled inwardly. It seemed that Yang Tiancheng was indeed putting on an act, hiring a foreigner to pretend to be a doctor. However, if someone was really experiencing drug withdrawal, they wouldn't care whether he was a doctor or not. But if a fake doctor who didn't know anything about medicine were to give him an injection, he would definitely suffer pain and torment.
The foreign doctor, pretending to be a doctor, first looked at Zhou Xuan's eyes, then made him stick out his tongue to look at it, and then said, "You need an injection, one injection will do the trick!"
Yang Tiancheng translated: "Brother Zhou, the doctor said you need an injection. He said it's because you caught a cold, and an injection will cure it quickly!"
Zhou Xuan nodded, then reached out his hand, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and waited. Yang Tiancheng gave the foreigner a wink, and the foreigner quickly went to the inner room. That room was the one Zhou Xuan had detected last time. It had a hidden compartment, and inside the compartment was a hidden super safe. The safe was set up extremely cleverly. If the mechanism wasn't activated, the safe would be a wall and would be completely invisible.
Inside the safe were nearly several hundred kilograms of ultrapure drugs, more than yesterday. Zhou Xuan guessed that a shipment had arrived, and such a large quantity certainly didn't belong to a small-time drug dealer.
The bodyguard in this room was the same one from yesterday, probably a trusted subordinate that Yang Tiancheng had brought back from abroad. He was speaking a foreign language with the foreigner, which Zhou Xuan could understand. From their conversation, Zhou Xuan realized that the foreigner was a member of Yang Tiancheng's gang and was very familiar with the bodyguard, as if they had worked together abroad.
"Give him a stronger dose. The boss said that Zhou Xuan is very powerful, and a weak dose won't be enough to cure him. The injection he received last night was more than twice the normal dose. If an ordinary person had received that dose, they would probably have died on the spot. They wouldn't have survived until today."
"I saw it with my own eyes. In the casino, that guy punched an African lion to death with a single blow, splitting its head in two. And what happened earlier today—the casino hired twenty-one thugs, and our people were observing from about a mile away. That guy used pressure point techniques on all twenty-one of them. Our people didn't even see how he did it; maybe the distance was too far for the camera to capture. But all this shows that this guy is extremely powerful!"
The foreigner was genuinely surprised. He then poured some drugs from a bag into a glass, diluted it with water to a high concentration, and then sucked it into a syringe.
He knew exactly what that dosage meant; for someone who had never used drugs before, or someone who had just started using drugs, this amount could be fatal!
The foreigner drew up the injection fluid and then came out with the syringe. Zhou Xuan was still lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. Yang Tiancheng gestured for him to go over and give him the injection.
The foreigner approached, patted Zhou Xuan's outstretched right wrist, looked for a vein, and said, "Don't move." Regardless of whether Zhou Xuan understood or not, he aimed the needle at the vein and slowly inserted it.
Zhou Xuan felt pain. This guy's technique wasn't professional, but it wasn't unfamiliar either. He was a bit worse than doctors and nurses, but much better than ordinary people who didn't know anything about medicine.
When the foreigner slowly pushed the drugs into his veins, Zhou Xuan used his supernatural ability to convert and absorb them. Naturally, no one could tell the result of this. Therefore, Yang Tiancheng firmly believed that Zhou Xuan was definitely addicted to drugs and that Zhou Xuan had absolutely no connection with the police. If they were police officers, they would be trained and would not be completely ignorant about drugs, nor would they allow them to administer drugs to him so easily.
By now, Zhou Xuan's impression on Yang Tiancheng is that of a businessman with exceptional skills and discernment. The fact that Yang Tiancheng was able to get Zhou Xuan involved with drugs so easily means that Yang Tiancheng's plan has already succeeded by more than half, and money will flow in from now on!
Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after the foreigner pulled out the syringe. That damned foreigner didn't even care about basic medical knowledge. He didn't disinfect the injection site, and he didn't disinfect or press for blood when he took the needle out. Fresh blood gushed out from the injection site.
Zhou Xuan had no choice but to press it down with his fingers. Luckily, the damned foreign devil wasn't in the toilet. If it were in a prison, he might have used the sewage from the toilet to mix the injection. Although he could convert and ingest the drug injection, the needle was still stuck in his flesh and blood vessels. That was real, and the pain was real too. The only thing he could do was prevent the drug from entering his body.
Yang Tiancheng waved his hand, shooing the foreigner out of the hall, leaving only him and Zhou Xuan alone. Zhou Xuan deliberately pretended to be enjoying himself, his ecstatic expression making Yang Tiancheng believe it without any suspicion.
In fact, even if it were anyone else, they wouldn't doubt that Zhou Xuan's ability is something that leaves no room for doubt.
This process lasted for about twenty minutes before Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, smiled at Yang Tiancheng, and said, "Mr. Yang, I feel much better now. My mind is clear, and I don't feel dizzy anymore!"
Yang Tiancheng was still secretly surprised. Such a dose could keep a strong adult man in a state of poisoning for at least two hours, but Zhou Xuan only took twenty minutes to recover. It seems that Zhou Xuan's body is incredibly strong!
