NovelEnglishChapter 757: The Fragrance of a Flower
Director Wang quickly summarized the two patients’ conditions to Song Ning again as they walked. When they arrived at the main residence, the butler came to welcome them.
“Director Wang, you’re finally here.”
Director Wang frowned. “Did something happen?”
The butler looked troubled. He glanced at Song Ning before he whispered something into Director Wang’s ear.
Director Wang’s expression did not look too good after she listened to the butler’s words. She said, “You did the right thing. I brought a new doctor here today. Get ready. We’ll check Yin Jian’s pulse first.”
After the butler left, Song Ning could not help but ask, “What happened?”

He’s… been acting up lately…” She looked at Song Ning as she struggled with how to phrase her words before she finally said, “He’s especially excitable recently. When he’s having an episode, he’ll want to grab a woman and… In any case, I’ve checked his medicine and food. There’s nothing wrong with them. I haven’t been able to find the cause for this… behavior…”
Song Ning frowned, perplexed.
Director Wang continued to say, “I’ve told the butler to tidy up before we go up.”
Song Ning nodded and followed Director Wang.
After Yin Jian had washed up and was properly dressed, the butler called Director Wang and Song Ning in.
Yin Jia lay on the bed listlessly, and his body was covered with a blanket.
The butler nodded at the two women before he quietly left the room.
Director Wang stepped forward and reached out to grab Yin Jian’s hand before she said, “Song Ning, come and check his pulse as well.”
Song Ning nodded and moved to the other side to check Yin Jian’s pulse.
After the two women checked his pulse, they exchanged a look.
Song Ning asked softly, “Senior sister, didn’t you say that there’s something wrong with his kidney?”
Director Wang frowned. She gestured for Song Ning to go out and speak. When they left the room, she asked, “What do you think?”
Song Ning replied, “Senior sister, I think he might have taken some sort of medicine…”
Director Wang frowned. “I’ve checked his medicine; there’s nothing wrong with it. With his condition, no one would prescribe such a medicine. It’d be akin to taking his life. His diet is also strictly controlled. There’s nothing wrong with his medicine and food.”

Director Wang was stunned. Then, she inhaled deeply before she said skeptically, “I can’t really tell. I… My nose is blocked…”
Song Ning did not say anything and returned to Yin Jian’s room.
Yin Jian looked as though he was on the brink of death. When he saw the two women, he hurriedly said, “Aunty, I feel really uncomfortable. Please help me.”
As Yin Jian spoke, he sized Song Ning up.
Song Ning ignored him as she studied the room carefully. All of a sudden, her eyes stopped on an incense bottle with flower petals floating in the aromatic oil. Three incense sticks were stuck into the bottle. She walked over, picked the bottle up, looked at it, and sniffed itbefore she passed it over to Director Wang. She asked, “Senior sister, smell it. Doesn’t it smell like Ylang-ylang?”
Director Wang sniffed it before she sneezed loudly.
Song Ning remained silent; she knew Director Wang would understand.
Director Wang cried out, “It’s really Ylang-ylang! How can this be here?! Who brought this here? How can it be so coincidental that one of the ingredients of Yin Jian’s medicine intensifies the effect of Ylang-ylang?”
Song Ning took the incense bottle from Director Wang after she opened all the windows in the room. Then, she said, “Senior sister, this flower isn’t common. It’s clear this is premeditated. Moreover, the culprit clearly knows medicine…”
