Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Soon, the nanny came back from the kitchen and told Xu Changping that the medicine had been boiled. Xu Changping nodded, stood up and said to Minister Guo: "I'll go mix the medicine."

"I'll go with you." Minister Guo also stood up after hearing the nanny's words. Even though he had something on his mind, his daughter's illness was the most important.

The spacious and bright bathroom was filled with a faint mist. Xu Changping stood beside the bathtub and poured a little "blood lotus" powder into the bathtub filled with water.

As the potion was completely blended into a uniform deep red liquid, Xu Changping nodded with satisfaction, turned to Minister Guo who was standing behind him and said, "Minister Guo, the potion has been mixed. I'll take my leave first." After that, he bowed slightly and left the room.

After Minister Guo tied up Guo Baihui and put her into the bathtub using the same method as last time, he turned around and left the bathroom.

The deserted living room seemed particularly empty and quiet. He walked slowly to the sofa and sat down slowly, his eyes staring blankly ahead, but the fingers of his right hand unconsciously began to tap on the armrest of the sofa, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound.

From time to time, bursts of shrill screams came from the tightly closed bathroom door. The sound was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Minister Guo's ears.

He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

However, those heart-wrenching screams seemed to have penetrating power, constantly attacking his mental defenses and making him feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

Although he did not see the scene in the bathroom with his own eyes, Guo Bu knew very well what a cruel scene was happening there.

Thinking back to the last time my daughter finished taking the medicinal bath, her slender wrists and ankles were rubbed bloody by the rough ropes, it was a horrible sight.

Now that the wound has just healed a little, he has to endure such inhuman torture again... Thinking of this, Minister Guo's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and a trace of pain that was difficult to conceal flashed in the depths of his eyes.

However, even though his heart was filled with endless heartache and helplessness, Minister Guo could only suppress his grief, sit there silently, motionless, and unable to do anything.

Every minute and every second of the waiting time seemed extremely long. When the medicinal bath was finally over, Minister Guo immediately stood up and rushed into the bathroom.

Seeing Guo Baihui still struggling in the bathtub, her face was frighteningly pale, as if all the blood had been lost.

Minister Guo quickly stretched out his hands, carefully took his daughter out of the bathtub and handed her to the nanny.

When his eyes fell on his daughter's wrists and ankles, which were once again a bloody mess, even a strong and resolute man like Guo Bu couldn't help but have his eyes slightly red and tears welled up in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth secretly: The next time Xu Changping comes, he will ask him if he has any good medicine that can quickly heal the injury.

Only after the nanny carefully washed the exhausted and powerless Guo Baihui's body and changed her into soft and comfortable clothes did Minister Guo step into the bathroom again.

He gently picked up his daughter, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world, slowly moved to the bedside, and gently placed her down.

Looking at his daughter who was already deeply asleep in front of him, Minister Guo suppressed his inner reluctance and worry, and turned away with a determined heart.

When he reached the door, he paused for a moment, looked back at his sleeping daughter, and then walked out of the room resolutely.

When he arrived at the living room, Minister Guo's expression had returned to normal, with no sign of anything unusual.

He whispered to Xiao Zhang who was waiting, "Xiao Zhang, let's go." His voice was as calm as water, but only he knew that at this moment, endless waves were surging deep in his heart.

After rushing to the ministry at lightning speed, Minister Guo walked into his office in a hurry with a serious face. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to his desk without even sitting down, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed.

Although Xu Changping had confirmed at home just now that the medicine seized from the Wang family was not the poison that his daughter had been poisoned with, this did not mean that the guy surnamed Wang could completely get rid of suspicion.

You know, even if he didn't poison his daughter directly, who can guarantee that he was not the mastermind behind it?

Besides, how could a decent person hide poison in such a sneaky way? Thinking of this, Minister Guo's anger grew stronger. He held the phone tightly in his hand, waiting for the response from the other end.

"Beep...beep...beep..." After the phone rang a few times, it was finally connected. Minister Guo asked anxiously, "Xiao Li, it's been two days. Why haven't you come up with any results on your investigation yet?"

Li Boyang on the other end of the phone originally looked indifferent, but when he heard Minister Guo's voice, he instantly restrained his expression, listened to his body, and answered seriously:

"Minister, we have not found any traces of the other party coming to Suzhou. However, I accidentally found some important information related to Comrade Guo Baihui, and I am now investigating and verifying it with my colleagues."

Upon hearing this, Minister Guo's heart suddenly tightened and he quickly asked, "What information? Tell me quickly!" At this moment, he was extremely nervous, fearing that he would miss any clues that might lead to finding the real culprit.

"Minister, it's not convenient to talk on the phone. Let's wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will return to Sijiu City and give you a detailed report in person." Li Baiyang quickly glanced at the surrounding environment and spoke after thinking for a moment.

Although he was in the police station at this time, he still remained highly vigilant. After all, no one could be sure that there were no other spies in this place.

The matter had already been settled, and any carelessness could result in all the previous efforts being wasted, so he decided to wait until everything was settled before returning to report the details to Minister Guo.

"Okay, then you should hold on tight, but please also put your own safety first." Minister Guo didn't know the true situation of Li Baiyang's current situation, but out of trust in him and years of working understanding, he chose to believe the other party without hesitation, and gave him a caring reminder.

"Please rest assured, Minister. It will only take one or two days at most, and I will definitely be able to get back safely." Hearing that Minister Guo cared so much about him, Li Baiyang felt warm in his heart, and he quickly patted his chest and assured him on the phone.

"Okay, then go and do your thing." After saying that, Minister Guo hung up the phone without waiting for Li Baiyang to speak.

After hanging up the phone, Minister Guo turned around and walked to the door, opened it, and called to the next room, "Secretary Sun, come over here."

Not long after, Secretary Sun hurried over and knocked on the open door a few times. "Minister, you called me?"
