Bai Qianmo secretly glanced at Bai Lai, and felt a pang of depression when she thought of the Gu poison in his body.

She got up and left the ward.

Bai Yitang assisted the police in investigating the kidnapping case. Gu Jueye went there in person. Bai Qianmo walked out of the ward and saw the two walking side by side toward her.

Bai Yitang seemed very excited, chatting enthusiastically with Gu Jueye.

When Gu Jueye saw Bai Qianmo, his cold gaze suddenly lit up, and he gave her a faint smile.

Seeing this man's warm smile instantly dispelled much of the day's fatigue.

"Bai Qianmo, how is Grandpa?"

"He's awake. Go in and check on him."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll go in and see my grandfather first, then I'll come back to find you later." After greeting Gu Jueye warmly, Bai Yitang entered the ward.

Gu Jueye walked up to Bai Qianmo, looked at the bloodshot eyes, and felt a pang of heartache.

"Sit down and rest for a while."

He gently pulled Bai Qianmo to a chair and sat down.

After Bai Qianmo sat down, she gently rested her head on Gu Jueye's shoulder and closed her eyes slightly.

“I invited two senior academicians from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to examine Grandpa Bai. They found that Grandpa Bai’s condition did not seem like that of an illness.”

Gu Jueye held Bai Qianmo's soft hand, gently stroking the base of her thumb with his thumb.

"It's not an illness, it's poison!"

Gu Jueye looked slightly taken aback and turned to look at Bai Qianmo.

"Gu poison?"

"Yes, it's a sleeping curse. After being cursed, the patient will initially experience symptoms such as fatigue, drowsiness, and weakness in the limbs. In the later stages, these symptoms will become more and more severe. Some people who have been cursed have been in a coma for a whole month. During this month, they need to receive intravenous nutrition to survive."

Gu Jueye pondered for a moment: "What is their purpose in doing this?"

Bai Qianmo shook her head: "Everything will be clear once the other party comes to us in person."

night

After visiting Elder Bai, Gu Jueye had to leave due to unforeseen circumstances.

Bai Qianmo went to visit Zhu Qinghan in another ward.

As soon as I entered, I saw a familiar figure sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Zhu Qinghan's hand tightly in one hand.

"Young Master An?"

Suddenly someone barged in, and Ji Cong'an nervously let go of her hand, turning his head to look at Bai Qianmo.

"Qianmo is here."

"Hmm, is Qinghan awake?"

"Not yet...not yet. The doctor said she should wake up today, but I've been talking to her for ages and she still hasn't responded at all. It's driving me crazy."

Bai Qianmo glanced at Zhu Qinghan on the hospital bed, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Young Master An, Qinghan should be waking up soon. Could you please go out and buy her some food?"

"Okay, I'll go right away. By the way, what's the best food for the patient?"

"Something light, like plain porridge or steamed buns, is fine."

"I'll go right away."

Ji Cong'an didn't think much of it and got up to leave the ward.

Bai Qianmo walked to the chair in front of the hospital bed and sat down, looking at Zhu Qinghan who was unconscious on the bed.

"The person is gone!"

The girl lying on the bed twitched her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her watery eyes.

"Qianmo, how did you know I was awake?" Zhu Qinghan smiled.

Bai Qianmo stared at her face for a while.

"Your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes. Only Ji Cong'an, that careless guy, didn't notice. Did he say a lot of mushy things to you, which is why you're too embarrassed to open your eyes?"

Zhu Qinghan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Don't talk nonsense, he... he just said some encouraging things to me."

"real?"

Zhu Qinghan was not good at lying, and when she met Bai Qianmo's obviously disbelieving gaze, she awkwardly looked away.

"By the way, has Grandpa Bai woken up? Have the specialists at the hospital found out what's wrong?"

When Bai Lao's illness was mentioned, Bai Qianmo's smile faded.

"It's a Gu poison, a kind of drowsy Gu worm, have you heard of it?"

"A sleep-inducing Gu? How could it be a sleep-inducing Gu? Who exactly has the Bai family offended?"

"We don't know what their purpose is yet. Qinghan, how much do you know about the Sleeping Gu? Is it a Gu poison from the Yin family?"

Zhu Qinghan nodded solemnly.

"The Sleep-Inducing Gu and the Love Gu are the two most evil and poisonous Gu poisons of the Yin family. The method of making Gu has always been controlled by the seven ancestral elders of the Yin family. One Sleep-Inducing Gu needs to be made from tens of thousands of insects, so it is very precious."

“The Yin family would never use this kind of Gu poison unless absolutely necessary. It seems that the other party is afraid that the Mo family will break their Gu poison, so they used the Sleeping Gu.”

Bai Qianmo's eyes were slightly cold.

"So, you have no solution either?"

Zhu Qinghan shook her head helplessly.

"The Mohist and Yin families have been fighting for hundreds of years. In addition to their mechanical skills, the Mohist family is also renowned for their medical skills. Therefore, the descendants of the Mohist family have always been proud and arrogant, and they despise the Yin family's unorthodox and evil arts. Later, a genius emerged in the Mohist family. He spent half his life trying to overcome the Yin family's Gu techniques. However, he spent a full ten years trying to find a way to break the love Gu and the sleep Gu. The only way to cure the poison is to remove it from the blood essence of the person who planted the Gu poison."

"Besides excessive sleepiness, does the Sleeping Gu have any other adverse symptoms?"

Just as Zhu Qinghan was about to speak, Bai Qianmo's phone suddenly rang.

It was Bai Yitang calling.

"I'm going to take this call."

Bai Qianmo got up, took her phone, and went to the balcony to answer the call.
