Seeing this, Mr. Zhang quickly tried to smooth things over and reprimanded the young man, "Xiao Chen, how can you talk like that? If you do this again, you won't be around me anymore."

Then he turned to Minister Guo and said gently, "Minister Guo, let's go check on the child first."

Minister Guo stared deeply at the young man, but quickly looked away.

Even though he was filled with dissatisfaction and anger, he could only suppress it at this moment and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

After all, even if he didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be able to cure the disease, he couldn't lose his temper on the spot because of his old leader's favor.

In this way, Guo Chang led everyone to a room on the second floor. When he reached the door, he suddenly paused, as if he was a little hesitant. After a moment, he gently stretched out his hand and slowly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the scene inside the room was jaw-dropping. The whole room was in a mess, with all kinds of items scattered on the ground.

Guo Baihui stood expressionless in the chaos, holding a pillow tightly in her hand and smashing it against the bed like a madman.

Every time she smashed it down, it was accompanied by a dull sound, as if she was venting the endless pain and anger in her heart.

At this moment, a slight movement at the door caught Guo Baihui's attention. She suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned her head quickly. Her beautiful eyes were now bloodshot and red, like a mad beast, staring fiercely at the people at the door.

Seeing his daughter like this, Guo Chang felt as if his heart was stabbed by a needle. But he still tried to keep himself calm and said in a gentle and calm tone: "Xiao Hui, I am your father! Dad is here to see you."

After saying this, everyone held their breath and looked at Guo Baihui nervously, hoping that she would react.

However, unexpectedly, after hearing what her father said, Guo Baihui's body trembled slightly at first, and then she slowly straightened up.

Just when everyone thought that she finally understood her father's call and her emotions began to calm down, she suddenly raised the pillow in her hand high and rushed towards the door like an out-of-control beast.

Mr. Zhang was startled by her sudden action! He instinctively dodged backwards, but he was not paying attention and bumped into the young man behind him.

The young man was caught off guard and felt a huge impact. He was about to fall to the ground, unable to support the weight of the two people.

At this critical moment, Xu Changping, who was behind the two men, reacted quickly, stretched out his hands, and used all his strength to support the two men who were about to fall.

As his arm muscles tensed and veins bulged, he finally managed to stop the two men from falling backwards.

After the two men finally regained their footing, Xu Changping did not dare to delay at all. He immediately flashed and squeezed in from behind nimbly.

At this time, Minister Guo was holding Guo Baihui tightly in his hands as she struggled and twisted, and for a moment he found it difficult to control the situation.

In a flash, Xu Changping raised his right hand without hesitation, and slashed down at Guo Baihui's neck with the edge of his palm like a knife. In an instant, Guo Baihui closed her eyes tightly and fainted.

Minister Guo had seen this scene several times before. He quickly hugged his daughter's gradually sinking body, carefully laid her flat on the bed, and carefully covered her with a quilt.

After doing all this, Minister Guo finally let out a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and casually wiped the dense beads of sweat on his face, then turned around and walked out of the room quickly, saying to Mr. Zhang who was still standing outside the door in shock: "She has fainted, please come in and take a look at her."

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses. He gently pushed away the young man who was supporting him and slowly walked towards the bed.

Sitting on the chair that had just been moved in beside the bed, Mr. Zhang stretched out his fingers and placed them on Guo Baihui's wrist.

After a while, he withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse, groaned for a while and said, "I can feel that this child's pulse is very strange. It doesn't seem like she has mental problems, but it seems that something has been interfering with her brain."

Minister Guo didn't expect that after taking her pulse for a long time, Elder Zhang came to such a conclusion. He said with some disappointment, "Doctor Xu said she was poisoned."

When Mr. Zhang heard his words, he immediately said, "Doctor Xu? Could you please invite the person over so we can discuss it?" He didn't do in-depth research on toxins, so he wanted to hear what Doctor Xu thought.

"Isn't the person right here?" Minister Guo took a step to the side, revealing Xu Changping who was standing behind him.

Old Zhang asked in a surprised voice: "Are you Doctor Xu?" He didn't expect that the Doctor Xu that Minister Guo mentioned would be so young. He looked to be in his early twenties.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Xu Changping saw the distrust in the other person's eyes, walked up to him and greeted him without saying much.

"Well, since you said the child was poisoned, can you cure him?" Mr. Zhang already regarded Xu Changping as the person who drugged the child, and his words unconsciously carried some questioning tone.

Xu Changping told the truth: "It can be cured, but the main medicine has not been found yet." In fact, he just realized that if Minister Guo had found the "Blood Lotus", then this old man Zhang and that tactless young man would not have shown up.

"Oh? Then tell me what medicinal ingredients are needed as the main medicine, and I'll see how difficult they are to find." Old Zhang seemed to have heard a loophole in Xu Changping's words, and asked with sharp eyes.

Without Xu Changping saying anything, Minister Guo asked with hope in his eyes, "Blood Lotus, have you heard of this medicine, Mr. Zhang?"

"Snow lotus? Tianshan snow lotus? This medicine is not very difficult to find." Old Zhang glanced at Xu Changping and said to Minister Guo.

"You misunderstood. It's not the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but this Blood Lotus." Minister Guo took out the picture drawn by Xu Changping from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Zhang.

When Mr. Zhang saw a blooming red flower on the paper and another shriveled dark red flower next to it, he immediately understood what Minister Guo meant by "different".

He held the paper and studied it for a long time before he looked up at Xu Changping and said, "I've never seen this blood lotus before. Is there really such a herb in the world?"

"Mr. Zhang, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Xu Changping was not a man without temper. He was constantly being suspected like this, and his anger was rising.

Mr. Zhang did not answer Xu Changping's words, but turned to Minister Guo and said, "Minister Guo, since this young man said that your daughter was poisoned, I suggest that you send her to the hospital for a detailed examination."

Minister Guo waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Xiao Hui has already been examined at a hospital in Suzhou, and the diagnosis given there is that she has a mental problem."

Deep down, he didn't want to send his daughter to the hospital. After all, there was a problem with the hospital in Suzhou. What if something went wrong in Sijiu City again and Xiao Xu couldn't be cured?
