Chapter Seventy-Six: A Clue Has Been Found

Before long, He Wangshi was forcibly dragged over by Zhou Li and two other people. All the way, she cried and screamed, "Murder! Murder!"

Unfortunately, Zhou Li ignored him, covered the man's mouth with a look of disgust, and threw him directly in front of Fu Huai.

Su An immediately gestured for the pharmacy owner to take a look, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

If she could find out that the person who came to buy the herbs was indeed He Wangshi, then she could send her to jail to finish her job, and stop her from always hanging around in front of her.

Unexpectedly, after examining the woman, the pharmacy owner shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, although that woman is an old lady, she is younger than this person, and her skin is not as dark."

"Huh?" Su An was dumbfounded, she had guessed wrong, it wasn't?!

Could it be that this whole thing really wasn't orchestrated by the He family?

Madam He also realized what was happening at this moment, and immediately jumped up from the ground, shouting, "Well, you little slut, how dare you—"

She was about to unleash a torrent of curses and make a scene, but halfway through her words, Fu Huai gave her a cold glance.

A chill instantly ran through her body. He Wangshi felt as if those deep black eyes were like sharp blades pressed firmly against her neck, causing her to stop speaking abruptly.

She immediately stopped jumping around and instead cowered in a corner, her face deathly pale and covered in cold sweat.

She hadn't even noticed that this fierce-looking man was there!

Fortunately, Su An didn't notice her reaction; he was just frowning in distress, completely baffled.

If it wasn't Lady He, then who else could meet these criteria and hate her to the core?

Even after leaving the pharmacy, she was still pondering this question, eliminating one by one the people she had previously made enemies with, but in the end, she still couldn't come to any conclusion.

Fu Huai, while ordering his men to continue the investigation, led her back to the shop while keeping an eye on the road.

After sitting down in the backyard, he comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, there are still two days. We already have some clues, and we'll be able to find the person eventually."

Su An couldn't help but click his tongue in envy and give a thumbs up, "Young hero, you have such great courage!"

She maintained a calm and composed demeanor throughout, remaining unperturbed in the face of adversity. When will she ever reach that level?

Just then, Zhou Li suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in, asking worriedly, "Young master, does He Wangshi still need to be kept under surveillance? If you suspect He Wangshi so much, shouldn't you also investigate the people around her?"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the mystery that Su An had been struggling to solve suddenly became clear.

She jumped up from the stool and slammed her fist into her palm. "That's right, the person who poisoned her might not be the one who went to buy the medicine. How can I lower my guard against her just because He Wangshi wasn't the one who went to buy the medicine?"

The He family is clearly the prime suspect!

Since the person who bought the medicine was not He Wangshi, it could have been someone close to her, or a relative!

"Investigate, see if there's anyone around her who matches the pharmacy owner's description!"

"yes."

Zhou Li was eager to resolve this troublesome matter, so he quickly accepted the order and left.

Fu Huai glanced at Su An, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

After all these events, the little girl is becoming more and more intelligent. She understands things quickly and can apply what she has learned to other situations, which is truly remarkable.

Before he could even utter a few words of praise, a sudden burst of noise came from outside.

Su An vaguely heard words like "pay compensation" and "pay with one's life," and his eyelids twitched suddenly, a very bad premonition rising in his heart.

Here they come to cause trouble again? They really don't let people rest for a moment!

She quickly stepped outside and saw a group of people burst into the previously sealed-off shop. They all looked extremely angry and irritable.

"It's been almost a day since we were poisoned, and you still haven't given us an explanation. Are you trying to just brush this off?"

"Let me tell you, my son is the only son in the family. If anything happens to him, everyone in this shop will have to pay with their blood!"

Because these people were too emotional and started smashing things as soon as they came in, Li Guihua and Su An's younger siblings wanted to go out and stop them.

Unexpectedly, they all pushed him to the ground.

Because of her advanced age and poor health, Li Guihua immediately turned pale and couldn't get up for a long time.

Su Jiang and the other two children, being young and inexperienced, were already flustered and their eyes were red with tears, on the verge of crying.

Su An was immediately enraged. He rushed forward, picked up one of them in each arm and placed them aside, then helped Li Guihua up as well.

Then he turned to face the crowd that had barged in, and shouted angrily, "What are you trying to do? Cause trouble?"

"Believe it or not, the soldiers will arrest you right away!"

It should be noted that although Lin Yong gave her a three-day grace period, he also left behind a group of officers and soldiers, ostensibly to assist her investigation, but in reality to monitor her secretly.

However, if she needs to, she can also command the officers and soldiers to do some things.

Seeing the chaotic scene ahead, Fu Huai frowned and, sitting in his wheelchair, gestured for his men to go and protect Su An.

These people are clearly blinded by anger; it's impossible to reason with them.

As expected, when Su An said he would have the soldiers arrest them, these people immediately became even more furious and scoffed.
