1733 Detoxifying
Han Rui felt that he might have misheard it. Otherwise, how could he have heard Qiao Yanjue say that he was being detoxified?
Detoxify him? What a joke!
There are currently no effective methods to completely break the addiction to this kind of drug.
To break free from the control of the drug, one had to rely on their own willpower and some drug-assisted treatment, which was a painful process.
Moreover, this wasn’t a permanent solution.
It was said that many people who had gone through drug rehabilitation would relapse after a period of time.
Once one got involved with things of this sort, it was never easy to get rid of.
However, the way Qiao Yanjue spoke about it made it sound like it wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Han Rui was dumbfounded.
The reason he got involved with drugs was because his identity was exposed.
In fact, when he was undercover in the drug cartel, he had never laid hands on these things.
The drug lord never allowed his people to touch them either.
After all, drugs could control one’s thoughts and body, which in turn affected their intelligence and behavior.
The drug lord was a man with great ideals, and would not allow those around him to be victimized by drugs.
Later on, when Han Rui’s identity was exposed, the drug lord had someone bring him drugs to try.
It was this testing that made Han Rui realize that his identity had been exposed. However, to deceive them, he had no choice but to accept the test.
Even if he became addicted to drugs, he could still stay alive at the very least.
It was just that when the urge struck, it would be extremely horrendous and agonizing!
If it weren’t for his incredible willpower, he might have completely lost himself to the addiction.
It was exactly because of this hindering factor that he had taken such a long time to get things done.
Now that Qiao Yanjue told him that it could be reversed, he found it hard to believe. It had to be a joke, right?
“Don’t worry, it came out of my mouth, so there must be a way,” Qiao Yanjue shrugged and looked at him. “Fret not, we’ll help you quit with ease.”
“It’s alright, just stay in the tub for now,” Qiao Yanjue reassured him. “You can come out after fifteen minutes. Your sister is still down there, and Bei is comforting her.”
After that, Qiao Yanjue left.
Han Chuo and Song Jiaren had headed downstairs, but after waiting for so long and not seeing Xia Xibei come out, they came upstairs to look for her.
However, they didn’t see Han Rui, and certainly didn’t see him in such agony.
Now, Xia Xibei was outside, calming them down.
Han Chuo didn’t know what her brother’s job was. All she knew was that he traveled often, and that his work was different from the ordinary.
When she probed further, he wouldn’t tell, so she couldn’t even show concern for him.
Even now, she didn’t know that her brother was in the bathroom.
“Qiao…” Han Rui looked confused, but he didn’t know what to say and couldn’t stop Qiao Yanjue from leaving.
After Qiao Yanjue left, he could only focus on the feel of the hot herbal water on his skin.
Much to his surprise, he did feel physically different!
Due to the addiction, the aftermath remained serious, even if he no longer used drugs.
His mind and body were severely affected.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have taken so long to return home.
Being controlled by drugs had made him exhausted and weak.
If he hadn’t been hiding so well, he might have been caught and taken back to the cartel by now.
Right now, however, he felt strength being restored to his body, even though he was soaked in the hot herbal water that was about to scald his skin. He no longer felt as weary as before.
