Fu Huai suppressed his anger with a cold face, personally carried Su An to the backyard, and ordered Xie Qingfeng to immediately prepare the antidote.

She stood by, watching Su An's small face turn pale and fragile, and a pang of heartache rose in her heart.

In the past, this little girl was the most mischievous; as long as she kept her eyes open, she always had something to do.

It's so quiet now, it's really hard to get used to.

"Wake up soon." Fu Huai gently tapped Su An's nose and sighed.

Several hours later.

Su An opened her eyes groggily, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, as if she had been drinking heavily all night, and a bitter taste of medicine lingered in her mouth.

She smacked her lips, and before she could get up, a large hand suddenly reached out and pressed her down. "Don't rush. You just woke up from the poisoning. I'll go and have Xie Qingfeng check if there are any other problems."

"Poisoning?!"

Seeing Fu Huai turn around and go out to call for help, Su An's expression froze instantly.

She's been eating and drinking normally these past few days, and doesn't seem to be poisoned at all. Besides, she hasn't eaten anything strange, so how could she be poisoned?

After Xie Qingfeng arrived, she hurriedly asked, "Dr. Xie, is the poison I'm suffering from the same as the poison in the other people outside?"

Xie Qingfeng lifted his eyelids and said with a half-smile, "That's different. Even if those people outside don't take medicine, the poison will only cause some damage to their bodies, not death."

As for you...

"If it hadn't been discovered in time, and the poison had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, there would have been no cure, and the person would have died suddenly."

"No way? Not again?" Su An looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

A chill ran down his spine, and the thought of the poison he had been poisoned before filled him with fear and dread.

But thinking about it this way, I should actually thank myself for fainting today.

Fu Huai's expression grew increasingly cold, barely containing his rage. "Don't worry, I will definitely find out who's behind this!"

Upon hearing this, Su An nodded to him with tears welling up in her eyes, "Then I'll have to trouble the God of Wealth with my life."

Even though the poison she had was different from the poisons in other people's bodies, she still suspected that He Wangshi was behind it.

After all, only the He family truly hated her and wished her dead; their minds were as venomous as snakes!

But when Fu Huai said he wanted to investigate, she didn't stop him.

She knew that Fu Huai always had his own considerations.

Little did she know that Fu Huai had pondered many things while she was unconscious, and at one point felt that she was being implicated by him.

Such a sinister, slow-acting poison is not something an ordinary person could find; someone must have been secretly watching him and wanted to harm him.

Unexpectedly, the poison ended up on Su An by some twist of fate...

One lay down, the other sat, each lost in thought, and neither spoke again.

Once Su An felt a little better, he immediately couldn't stay in bed any longer. Ignoring Fu Huai's attempts to stop him, he insisted on getting up to continue investigating the poisoning.

"The magistrate only gave us three days, and now almost half of that time has passed. We can't afford to waste any more time!"

Fu Huai pinned her against the headboard, his grip on her slender waist not too tight, and she struggled to twist and kick, trying to escape.

Fu Huai's forehead veins bulged slightly as he stared at her helplessly, then sighed in a deep voice, "I've already ordered someone to investigate; you don't need to worry about it."

"How could I not care about my own life?" Su An raised his head in disagreement.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Fu Huai's men, but she felt she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't get involved.

Just as the two were at an impasse, a sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Young boss, we've caught the guy!"

Zhou Li barged in, carrying someone in his hand, making a ruckus. But after seeing the scene inside, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh dear, it seems I've come at an inopportune time!"

He winked and made faces at Su An and Fu Huai for a while before reluctantly leaving, his tone as sarcastic as could be.

Su An's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she belatedly realized how inappropriate her and Fu Huai's current posture was.

Those who don't know the truth might think they were doing *that* during the day!

Startled, she jumped out of Fu Huai's arms and hurriedly opened the door, calling out to Zhou Li, "You rascal, come back here! Who did you catch? Let me see!"

Fu Huai followed behind her in a wheelchair, his brows furrowed, glaring at Zhou Lifeng.

These people under my command are getting more and more disrespectful; they need to be disciplined!

Zhou Li sensed danger and quickly brought the person back.

When it came to serious matters, he immediately turned serious and handed the man over to Su An and Fu Huai.

“This person is He Wangshi’s sister. It took me a lot of effort to find out that someone witnessed her meeting with He Wangshi the day before yesterday. After that, I found the headscarf that the pharmacy owner had described in her house.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the one who went to Ping An Pharmacy to buy herbs!"

Unexpectedly, after breaking free from Zhou Li's restraints, Zhang Dafeng immediately cried out, "Injustice! I don't know who threw that headscarf into my house, it has nothing to do with me, you can't make false accusations!"

Zhou Li, his face contorted with anger, kicked him. "I think you're the one talking nonsense. I've already asked your neighbors and learned that you knitted that headscarf yourself and wore it a few times before. Now you're trying to deny it?"

Su An and Fu Huai also felt that this excuse was very frustrating.

Given Zhou Li's character, if he brought the person before them, he must have already found solid evidence and would never wrongly accuse the person.

So, the poison really was bought by Zhang Dafeng!

"Oh, so it's you!"

Su An was so angry that her face turned red. Good heavens, she had caused a lot of trouble!

She immediately glared fiercely at Zhang Dafeng and demanded, "Tell me, were you instigated by He Wangshi, or did you and Zhang Dafeng plot the poisoning together?"

"If you dare to utter another lie, I will make you personally apologize to those who have been poisoned!"

Zhang Dafeng was taken aback, but inwardly she was quite dismissive.

To be honest, she didn't take Su An seriously. She was just a little girl. No matter how angry she was, what could she do to her?

So instead of confessing honestly, she gave vague answers, her eyes darting around, trying to find a chance to escape.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, it's none of my business. If you dare to slander me, I will never admit it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fu Huai coldly retorted, "Truly stubborn and incorrigible!"

He raised his eyelids to signal, and Zhou Li, who was standing behind Zhang Dafeng and acting unruly, suddenly pulled out a large knife and slashed at Zhang Dafeng's restless hand.

"ah--"

A piercing scream instantly echoed across the rooftop.

Blood from Zhang Dafeng's severed wrist almost gushed out, splattering everywhere. Her severed hand seemed not to have reacted yet, twitching and spasming incessantly.
