Cheng Lu smiled softly: "If you can bring me here in this way, it must be because you have no way to see me from the frontal channel. This is the last resort. You dare to try this method, either You are strong enough, and you are not afraid of those troublesome follow-up questions, or the patient's condition is critical, and you can't wait any longer."

The woman's flat voice spoke quietly.

There wasn't much panic on her face, as if she was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.

"Or, you have both. If that's the case, the target will be narrowed down a lot. I guess... you are the Qi family, Qi Jin'er's natal family, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the other party's breathing became heavy.

In fact, Cheng Lu's heartbeat was speeding up, but she still looked calm on the surface.

After a while, the black cloth covering her face was removed, and her eyes were bright.

Only then did she see clearly the old man standing not far from her - old Mr. Qi.

"Miss Cheng Bingxue is smart, she really is not an ordinary person. They say that the descendant of Miaoshou Yaoxian is a young and beautiful girl, but I still don't believe it. I have to accept what I said just now."

Mr. Qi chuckled, "Since you're here, please help me see my granddaughter."

Now it was Cheng Lu's turn to be surprised: "Miss Qi has come back from An's house?"

"Hmph! How could the An family stop us?"

Mr. Qi approached, "Miss Cheng, as long as you cure my granddaughter, you will be able to walk out of here safe and sound, otherwise—"

A sinister smile played on his wrinkled face.

"I know that you are Gu Ci's wife. We have heard of Gu Ci's notoriety. It's a big deal. I'm an old bone. Anyway, I don't have much life left."

Cheng Lu looked directly into the eyes of the old man, without any stage fright.

"Where is Miss Qi?"

Mr. Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Come with me."

After going around a long corridor, Cheng Lu was sent into a room.

A woman was lying on the big bed in the room.

Before seeing her specific appearance clearly, Cheng Lu felt an indescribable sickness.

This is different from the sickness on Mr. Li's body. Miss Qi's body exudes a gloomy, slippery stench, which cannot be felt by others, but it cannot be concealed from her perception at all.

As she approached, she saw Miss Qi's appearance clearly.

Bedridden for many years, Qi Jin'er has long since lost her former flowery appearance.

The whole person shriveled up, and if it wasn't for the equipment next to her to record her breathing and heartbeat, she would have died no differently.

Cheng Lu tried to penetrate her body with his ability.

Faced with such a powerful sickness, this little ability disappeared like a mud cow into the ocean, and soon disappeared.

She checked Qi Jin'er's body carefully again.

"Miss Qi seems...to be poisoned."

Mr. Qi: "Do you know what kind of poison this is?"

She shook her head: "I didn't bring my medicine box. I can't judge based on the current information."

Mr. Qi quickly asked someone to bring a box, and it fell to Cheng Lu's feet with a bang.

"This is your medicine cabinet."

Cheng Lu felt distressed.

This is her baby, and it has been kept in her mother's house before.

Don't talk about dropping it, you need to take care of it after daily use.

A burst of anger rose from her heart, and she quickly lowered her eyelids, not looking into Mr. Qi's eyes.

"I'll give you three days, three days—I want to see a lively granddaughter. You are the descendant of Shen Chong. There were countless legends about him back then. You should be able to satisfy me, right?"

He smiled grimly for a few seconds, and closed the door with a bang.

The door is locked from the outside.

Looking at the closed door, Cheng Lu could only calm down and pray that the clues he left would be discovered as soon as possible.

Three days, she only has three days...

She sighed softly, and looked at Qi Jiner who was on the bed.

After a while, she started to do a more in-depth examination for Qi Jiner.

After administering the needles and ordering the medicine, she quickly determined the composition of the toxin. She wrote a note and sent it out from under the door, asking old Mr. Qi to bring the detoxification medicinal materials.

In the afternoon, the medicinal materials she needed were delivered.

Cheng Lu handled the medicinal materials skillfully, made a small bottle of antidote, and was just about to give it to Qi Jiner.A hand stretched out from the side and snatched the bottle away.

"This antidote, shouldn't there be any problems?"

It turned out to be Mr. Qi.

Cheng Lu sneered: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will poison your precious granddaughter?"

Mr. Qi narrowed his eyes: "Sorry, I have to guard against it."

Cheng Lu spread his palms: "Give it to me, I'll drink it for you."

Soon, she swung her neck and poured a small bottle of antidote into it.

"Okay, I've finished drinking, and the antidote for your granddaughter is gone." She shook the bottle in her hand, "Mr. Qi, if three days are not enough, you can't blame me."

Mr. Qi did not expect this young woman to be so bold!

He lowered his face: "I'll bring you the medicinal materials again, and I'll give you half a day at most."

"can."

He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back with a smile.

"Let me tell you another interesting news. You have been missing for a long time, but your husband Gu Ci ran to the hospital to see a woman named Lan Yijiao."

Her heart skipped a beat.

But thinking of what Gu Ci explained to her before, his heart was half relieved.

"I know, our husband and wife have discussed this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Did Gu Ci tell you that this Lan Yijiao was his first love, and they used to love each other sweetly, but it's a pity... Hehehe, for a man, his first love is probably something he can't let go of, right?"

Mr. Qi left this sentence and closed the door heavily.

Cheng Lu was at a loss: "Gu Ci's... first love?"

A sour grievance spread from the bottom of her heart, and she quickly held it back.

Now is not the time to be distracted by these things, the old man surnamed Qi told her this just because he wanted to see her in a hurry, and had no time to think about other things except treating Qi Jin'er.

"It's okay, Cheng Lu, you have to trust Gu Ci."

She muttered a few words, and the movements of her hands became faster and faster.

Outside the house, Mr. Qi and his confidants were watching Cheng Lu in the surveillance video.

"It's more stable than I thought, and I started to get down to business so soon." He turned his face and continued, "Record the types and quantities of medicinal materials she used, and I will hold this prescription in my own hands. .”

After a busy night, she fed Qi Jin'er the freshly prepared antidote, and she used her power to quietly purify Qi Jin'er's sickness.

Oddly enough, she found that the first helplessness seemed to improve a lot.

Every time I help Qi Jin'er purify his sickness, his abilities are strengthened.

Could it be that purifying this difficult disease can improve one's ability?

Realizing this, Cheng Lu's gloomy mood cleared up slightly.

It was almost dawn... She could only close her clothes and curl up on the sofa beside her to take a nap.

In a daze, she heard someone talking.

"Is it true? This is Mr. Gu Ci's meaning...Three days later, the eldest lady was cured, and she was directly asked to—"
