"So you mean the mastermind kidnapped Xu Lai to prevent your potential betrayal?" Qiao Wanwan analyzed. "For him, kidnapping Xu Lai is entirely beneficial. If you don't care about Xu Lai, then he can just kidnap her; it's just a waste of manpower. But if you care about Xu Lai, then it's naturally a good thing for him. With Xu Lai in his hands, you're unlikely to betray him, right?"

"yes."

“So, Xu Lai isn’t without danger.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him. “If the mastermind believed you didn’t care about Xu Lai, why would they keep her around? Of course, they would kill her.”

"So I've been openly looking for her these past few days. I want him to believe that I care about Xu Lai."

"But you just said you can't contact him?" Qiao Wanwan asked doubtfully. "If he really captured Xu Lai to threaten you, of course he would take the initiative to contact you and warn you not to think about betraying him."

“That’s right, that’s the contradiction in the whole thing,” He Songling said. “That’s why I’m here to confirm something with you.”

"What's up?"

"Xu Lai has a gentle personality and never makes enemies. It's impossible for anyone to kidnap her and go to such lengths to smuggle her out of the country. The only possible person, besides the mastermind behind it all, is Zhan Jingting."

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "I said, it wasn't us."

“I’m here today to confirm. I believe you won’t lie to me. Since you’re so firm, I’m willing to believe you. So now, it’s very likely that he kidnapped Xu Lai.”

"So what do you want to do?"

“I’ve lost contact with him, and I definitely can’t find him at the previous address, but I still want to go look for him.”

"Then hurry up and find Xu Lai. The sooner you find her, the less she will suffer."

“Actually, I’ve thought about telling you his identity,” He Songling said, “but Xu Lai is in her hands, and I don’t dare to take the risk.”

“This is your choice, and no one can force you to do it,” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “But I believe my husband will definitely find him.”

......

Qiao Wanwan had nothing else to do but focus intently on studying Zhan Jingting's illness.

Zhan Jingting's health has returned to normal, and Qiao Wanwan has begun to administer medication to him appropriately.

If he can cure it completely, then Xiao Jiu and Lao San will be fine.

Just like before, no matter what medicine he used, it still didn't have any effect.

In the afternoon, the legendary doctor with the "ghostly hands" walked into the pharmacy and saw Qiao Wanwan sitting alone, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" the Ghostly Healer asked as he stepped forward. "A little down?"

"No." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and said, "Being frustrated won't solve the problem. I was just thinking that since I've tried all the gentle methods, maybe I could try a more aggressive one."

"Do you have any clues?" the Ghostly Healer asked. "A risky approach... perhaps poison?"

“I’ve thought about it, but I don’t dare to try it lightly,” Qiao Wanwan said. “However, using poison to fight poison is a possibility, and I need to think about it carefully.”

"Wanwan, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Qiao Wanwan shook her head gently, "I have a lot of time, but not too little either, so I should hurry up."

"Yes, please feel free to tell Master if you need anything."

"I know."

Qiao Wanwan threw herself back into the experiment, and within a few days, she made an amazing discovery!

She immediately drew blood from the third child, causing him to cry out in pain!

"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting rushed over upon hearing the commotion. "Is the third brother sick?"

"No, I think I've made a breakthrough, but I need to use the third child's blood to confirm it." Qiao Wanwan finished drawing blood. "You comfort the child, I'm going to the pharmacy!"

Zhan Jingting: "......"

He looked at his third brother, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

Qiao Wanwan was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat dinner, so Zheng Ma had to take it to the pharmacy.

Zhan Jingting didn't disturb her, but Qiao Wanwan still hadn't returned by 10 p.m.

Zhan Jingting couldn't sit still, so he went downstairs, knocked on the door, and went in. He saw Qiao Wanwan engrossed in her research, while the food beside her remained untouched!

The man frowned immediately. "What's wrong? You don't even know how to eat?"

"Wait for me a moment." Qiao Wanwan was so busy that she didn't even have time to glance at him. "It'll be ready soon."

Zhan Jingting sat to the side, waiting patiently.

About an hour later, Qiao Wanwan finally stood up.

Zhan Jingting's barely suppressed anger finally erupted, "You finally know to stop..."

He stopped before he could finish speaking, quickly raising his hand to wipe away Qiao Wanwan's tears. "What's wrong? I won't say anything..."

Qiao Wanwan shook her head vigorously, tears of joy streaming down her face, "Jingting, I think I've found a way to cure you..."

Zhan Jingting was taken aback. "What did you say?"

"I've found a way to cure you!" Qiao Wanwan excitedly hugged him tightly. "I can cure you! You no longer have to be afraid of leaving me when you're thirty! Our child won't have to endure the nightmare of the Zhan family anymore!"

Zhan Jingting froze!

From the day he learned about life and death, he knew what he was going to endure.

Before meeting Qiao Wanwan, he had never thought about getting married and having children.

Because she didn't want to burden an innocent girl with the misfortune of losing her husband at a young age, and even more so, she didn't want her child to suffer the same fate as him.

But because of Qiao Wanwan, he changed his mind. He loved her, loved her selfishly, loved her so much that even if he could only be with her until he was thirty, he still wanted to marry her.

Although Qiao Wanwan was a legendary healer, he never truly expected her to cure him.

He knew very well that without expectations there would be no disappointment.

He remained prepared that he could only accompany her until she turned thirty, and then he cherished every day he spent with her.

He never imagined that on such an ordinary night, someone would tell him that his illness could be cured, his children could be cured, and that he could grow old with Qiao Wanwan.

Zhan Jingting couldn't describe the feeling. It was as if he could feel himself suddenly surfacing from the depths of drowning water, and then a sense of exhilaration at being reborn swept over all his senses.

At this moment, however, he felt an unusual urge to cry.

"Wanwan..." Zhan Jingting hugged her tightly, "Thank you..."

......

The next morning, the legendary doctor learned of the good news and rushed to the pharmacy. "Wanwan, how did you do that?"

“Master, I discovered it by accident.” Qiao Wanwan stopped what she was doing and explained, “I’ve been researching for so long, and I felt that my prescription was perfect, except for one crucial ingredient. I even considered using poison to fight poison, but that failed. Later, I accidentally mixed Xiao Jiu’s blood and Jing Ting’s blood for an experiment, and I found that their blood had changed. After repeated experiments, it was proven that their blood actually complemented each other!”

The Ghost Hand Doctor said, "Would that require a large blood transfusion? The two children are too young; they might not be able to handle it."
